Chapter 281: Cheng Chumo was beaten

Give the bowstring that was originally made to Li Ke to try his hand.

"Your rope is very strong, can you use it on a bow and arrows to pull a bow?"

Li Ke remained skeptical, "But this one of yours is much stronger than the beef tendon we usually use." ”

The bow can only be made of birch, which is one of the harder woods.

You can't make an aluminum alloy.

The carpenters under Zhang Qi are quite quick with their hands and feet, and they can make more than ten bows in one day.

Zhang Qi watched the busy craftsman class under him, and said to Li Zheng: "I have made a lot of longbows in Xia, and it is the first time I have seen such a strange bow." ”

Li Zheng tried it, the weight of the bow body was not particularly heavy, and it was just right to hold it in his hand.

When the spring rain fell, Li Zheng was sitting at home reading a book on bows and arrows, and at the same time he could talk to Di Zhixon and learn about the situation in the court.

Civil officials and military generals quarreled over the loan bookkeeping method, and Li Shimin maintained a good relationship on the issue of species diversity in the court.

Dahu sent all the parts that were built, and it took half a month to build these things.

Li Zheng looked at these parts and said, "The craftsmanship is really bad. ”

Big Tiger smiled bitterly: "Those blacksmiths said that this thing is not easy to build, and it takes a lot of work. ”

Pick up an axle with some burrs on it.

Li Zheng was disgusted, and began to assemble parts on the bow body of the compound bow.

After working for half an hour, with the help of Li Ke, he wasted his strength to feed before putting the bowstring on the axle.

After assembling it, Li Ke looked at the compound bow, "How weird, why are there three bowstrings." ”

Li Zheng explained: "The secondary chord is used to adjust the drawing distance. ”

Li Zheng held a compound bow in his hand, adjusting the axle and testing his strength.

"Don't hide it from His Royal Highness the King of Shu, in fact, I am also an archer."

After Li Zheng finished speaking, he had already adjusted the compound bow in his hand and pulled the bow with an arrow.

Shoot an arrow at a target five hundred paces away.

The bowstring of the compound bow vibrates, and the string sound is very crisp.

The arrow burst through the air, piercing the target and hitting the trees behind.

Li Ke hurriedly went to inspect it, and couldn't help but gasp.

The target was shot through, and it was even more difficult to penetrate the trees behind them.

Looking back at the bow in Li Zheng's hand, how many stone bows are there?

According to Li Zheng's physique, the three-stone bow should also be the limit.

Such power is at least in the five-stone bow.

"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, do you want to try?"

Li Ke took the compound bow with a nervous face, no matter whether the bow was good or bad, he had to try it to know.

The first feeling of pulling this bow is relaxed, very relaxed, not like those five-stone bows in the army.

Aiming at the target, an arrow was fired, but the arrow still pierced the target, and half of the arrow had already been shot into the tree.

"It's a strange feeling." Li Ke muttered to himself.

After examining the compound bow in his hand again, Li Ke said, "Let me try again." ”

Li Zheng put a barrel of arrows beside Li Ke, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu even try, I also want to know the limit of this bow and the limit of the bowstring, you have to know the quality first." ”

"Why is it so accurate?"

I installed a shock absorber, and Li Zheng pointed to the device on the bow and said: "When an ordinary longbow shoots arrows, the whole bow is vibrating, and even the arrows are actually shaking when they are shot, so the hit rate is reduced." ”

Li Ke shot an arrow again, and unexpectedly found that the speed of the arrow was very fast and very accurate.

After more than ten times, Li Ke was already able to adjust the pulling distance by himself, and the whole compound bow was used very skillfully.

"Change the target!" Li Ke shouted.

One of the guards immediately ran over to change targets.

Li Zheng looked at the target that was changed back with a look of pity, "Look, it's all a hornet's nest." ”

From day to night, the compound bowstring in Li Ke's hand finally broke.

Li Zheng was eating hot pot and asked, "How many arrows?" ”

"Six hundred and thirty-one arrows."

"It's so much better than I thought." Li Zheng was eating hot vegetables, "His Royal Highness the King of Shu, please take a seat, I haven't eaten it at night." ”

After pouring a sip of wine, Li Ke's mood was very complicated.

"Li Zheng ......" Li Ke wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong with His Royal Highness the King of Shu?"

Li Ke gave up the idea in his heart again.

That night, Li Ke couldn't sleep all night, looking at this compound bow late at night, and it was difficult to make a decision in his heart.

If such a bow and arrow can be used in the army, how much can it improve the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty's army.

But Li Zheng didn't seem to have the slightest idea of this.

Thinking of Li Zheng's expression when he looked at this compound bow, it seemed that in Li Zheng's eyes, it was like a toy.

Reassembling the bowstring, Li Ke took up his bow again and kept shooting arrows.

An adult man, using this compound bow, can easily pull out the power of the five-stone bow.

The village guards had no armor, but they all had a compound bow.

Except for practicing archery on weekdays, Li Ke didn't let the guards take it.

Because the power of this kind of bow is too great, even the five-stone bow in the army is not as powerful as this compound bow when the string is drawn.

Li Ke concluded that with a little training, the guards in the village would use compound bows, and the accuracy of the bows and arrows would be comparable to those sharpshooters in the Weifu army.

As long as there is a compound bow, everyone is a marksman.

There was a lot of rain in the spring, and finally one day the sun was shining, and the aunts in the village hurriedly took out all the papers in the printing workshop, for fear that the papers would be damp.

Li Chengqian came with a group of people, followed by hundreds of geese.

Li Zheng stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it's really too polite. ”

Li Chengqian smiled and said: "Where is it, I want to thank you for your loan bookkeeping method to help Mr. Li Gang solve the siege." ”

"The prince is polite." Li Zheng was in a good mood when he looked at these white-flowered geese.

"There were originally seven hundred, but on the way to the road, a few were eaten, a few ran, and there were only six hundred left." The subordinate official of the East Palace explained to Li Zheng.

"It's out of the way, it's good to have it." Li Zheng looked at these geese and liked them more and more.

Let the big cow give the goose to the aunts in the village.

Li Zheng invited Li Chengqian and Cheng Chumo to sit down next to the horse circle.

The three of them sat side by side, enjoying a cup of hot tea.

Li Zheng looked at the bruises on Cheng Chumo's face, "Brother Chumo, is this being beaten by your father again?" ”

"It's not." Cheng Chu said with a straight face.

Li Chengqian smiled bitterly, "This is really not because of General Cheng, it was Cheng Chumo and Feng Zhidai who made a move, and the fight in the Chang'an wine shop was so lively, which alarmed the officers and soldiers of the Wei Mansion." ”

"What kind of character is Feng Zhidai, who dares to do anything with us, does he want to mix up in Chang'an!" Li Zheng said.

Cheng Chumo gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I can't get out of bed anymore." ”

"Really?" Li Zheng took a sip of tea embarrassedly, "Brother Mo is mighty." ”

Cheng Chumo nodded, "It's just that I wasted some money to win money and gave a few dollars of soup and medicine fees." ”
