Chapter 632: And the Bow
The meeting of Su My family was held for about an hour, and finally Su My family got a conclusion, that is, the two did not help each other, and when they saw who was going to lose, Su My family would give the other party a fatal blow, and then enjoy the fruits of victory with the winner.
How to say it, this is a sure deal, but although it is a sure deal, there are too many scheming in it, and there is a price to be paid for doing so.
And what Su I didn't expect was that Su I actually made a move that shocked Su I into the deer, that is, Su I saw that he used his own name, but 300 of his own men went to Kyoto to help Li Zhan.
Three hundred, not too much... Of course, it is not much, but this is a manifestation of Su and I, who can live and die with Li Zhan, and this move also made Su and I become Li Zhan's henchmen on Wa Island in the future.
..............................
Kyoto Castle... At this time, Kyoto Castle was in full swing to make bows and crossbows.
Of course, the bow and crossbow made now is not the bow of the Tang Dynasty, and the bow made now is called Hegong, which is actually a kind of bow from Wajima, and the length of this bow is about 2.2 meters.
It is made of bamboo, but although it is a synthetic bow made of ordinary bamboo and wood, its power should not be underestimated.
As the largest weapon in the world visible in the practical nature of the bow, after adding 23kg of force and the bow is equipped with a heavy arrowhead, the use of high-speed camera recording, and the bow muzzle velocity of 34 meters per second can penetrate the human body up to 30cm.
In the same control experiment, a 23kg yew longbow from England also shot at a tatami target and a ballistic gel target at a muzzle velocity of 34 meters per second, and the heavy arrow fired only stopped at 25 cm.
In an experiment conducted in 2005 by Toshio Mori, a professor at the University of Tsukuba and president of the Bow and Road Specialist Branch of the Wajima Martial Arts Association, it was shown that a person holding the 5th dan of the Wajima Bow Federation shot at an object suspended in the air from 15 meters away, penetrating a 1.6 mm thick frying pan and a 9.0 mm wooden plank, and sparks sparked as he pierced through the 1.0 mm thick iron plate. On average for shooters in 2005, the muzzle velocity of an arrow can reach 60ms.
Therefore, the lethality of this bow is only slightly inferior to that of the enemy's bow, of course, the worst part of the bow is the number of arrows shot, and the enemy's bow can shoot about a thousand to three thousand arrows.
However, this bow made of bamboo and wood can shoot up to twenty to thirty arrows.
If this number is exceeded, the bow chord will collapse, and because of this, more powerful bows will continue to be developed in the future, such as the creation of the "Three Pieces Bow Bow" in the late Heian period. A synthetic bow made of bamboo wrapped in a wooden core from front to back.
In the middle of the Muromachi period, the "Shikata Bamboo Bow" was created, which consisted of four pieces of bamboo wrapped around a wooden core.
From the last Showa 42 to modern times, the "glass bow" is a bow made of glass fiber or carbon fiber, which has both hardness and elasticity.
The reason why the bow is so powerful is that the bow is more than two meters long, and the upper arc of the bow accounts for two-thirds of the total length of the bow, in other words, the system of the bow is that its size and length can also be called the largest bow in the world.
It is also said that the finger bow is in full swing, but it actually conforms to the perfect ratio of the golden section, so the structure of the bow is considered to be the most beautiful among all the bow types.
When Li Zhan came to Wadao, he brought this kind of drawing of the bow, just in case of emergency, who knows that it will really be used, such a field battle with the bow, it is indeed not cheap, but if you defend the city, hehe... That's a nightmare for the besiegers.
Just when the Monobe clan and Nakamaro were leading troops on the way to attack Kyoto, Li Zhan used this time to directly make nearly 10,000 pairs of bows and 500,000 arrows, followed by the combined army waiting for the Monobe clan and Nakamaro.
At first, the people and nobles of Kyoto were terrified, thinking that if the combined army of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro would come with 60,000 people, then they would be conscripted if they did not do it.
And maybe die in this big war.
However, what the people and nobles of Kyoto did not expect at all was that Li Zhan posted a notice in Kyoto that the Tiger Army did not need to increase its troops, and if Tachibana Satomi's army was willing to defend Kyoto together, Li Zhan would welcome it.
If Tachibana Satomi's army was unwilling to defend Kyoto together, Li Zhan would not force it.
This surprised the people and nobles of Kyoto, and then in order to alleviate the fear and worry of those people and nobles, Li Zhan held a large-scale military performance.
Bed crossbow, stone crossbow, fierce fire oil, Mo knife, bow to defeat the enemy.... Wait a minute... These advanced weapons of the Tang Dynasty directly dumbfounded the people and nobles of Kyoto, and finally, the sense of security of the people and nobles of Kyoto returned.
They believed that with a general like Li Zhan, who had always been an elite soldier in Kyoto, Kyoto would be fine.
So slowly, the people and nobles of Kyoto began to settle down, life went on as usual, nothing changed, the only thing that changed was that they trusted Li Zhan more, and Tachibana Satomi was completely forgotten.
Don't say it, Tachibana Satomi is still waiting for someone to save IJ in the Jokhang Palace, but it's a pity that no one will really come to save him, Li Zhan has completely won the trust of everyone in Kyoto.
Even Kibi Majima was completely convinced, and Kibi Majima also believed that only Li Zhan could save Kyoto at this time.
That's it... When the entire Kyoto area was united, the 60,000-strong army of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro finally arrived... Just before the army of the Monobe clan and Nakamaro arrived, to Li Zhan's surprise, Su I saw that he actually came to Kyoto with his three hundred followers.
This made Li Zhan, who met Su I, really surprised.
After seeing Li Zhan, Su I immediately knelt down and looked up at Li Zhan and said: "Your Highness, Su I came to see him, so far Su I and he don't represent Su and my family, only Su and I see themselves."
Su I and he are willing to stay by His Highness's side until the war is won! ”
"Get up...!" Li Zhan was moved for a while and personally helped Su and He to see it, to be honest, once Li Zhan's favorability of this Su and He saw it was a straight line up, because now many people know the 60,000 army of the Monobe clan and Zhong Malu.
So these people should be afraid to avoid themselves, but this Su I saw it, which really surprised Li Zhan, he actually took the initiative to come to Li Zhan's side, and for a while Li Zhan felt that he was not mistaken, so he was very pleased.
This kind of relief made Li Zhan feel very comfortable,
So Li Zhan's attitude towards Su and He was much better, and in the end, Li Zhan didn't say much, just handed a saber beside him to Su and He Jian.
Then he said: "In the future, you will be my retainer, and this saber will be given to you, and I hope that you will be as sharp as this saber, and you will never move forward." ”
"Yes...!"
