Huang Yueying, who was still shy one second, broke free of Fei Qian's hand the next second and ran away......

This is a little embarrassing.

But it didn't take long for Huang Yueying to drag something that looked quite heavy, and put it in front of Fei Qian, it was actually a crossbow!

Fei Qian blinked, looked at the crossbow on the ground, and then looked at Huang Yueying, a little incredulous, could it be said that this crossbow was made by Huang Yueying herself?

Huang Yueying was a little proud, and her big eyes were full of "praise me, I'm amazing......

Fei Qian picked up the bow and crossbow from the ground, looked left and right, and turned it upside down, this weight is not light, the structure of wood and bronze, even if there are no crossbow arrows, you can smash people all over the head with smashing.

The Huang family's craftsmanship of crossbows may be because of the inheritance of the Mo family, and many specific things have been inherited, such as the scale of Wangshan, which is completely impossible to do without a lot of practical experience. Just like the bed crossbow installed on the north bend, it also uses a winch to open the string, look at the mountain and measure the distance, so that there is some accuracy.

Of course, what Fei Qian is holding in his hand now is an ordinary crossbow, which is also called a kicking crossbow. In fact, it is the predecessor of the crossbow, which is slightly smaller in terms of power requirements.

"You did it? That's a good job......" Fei Qian said.

Huang Yueying narrowed her big eyes, raised her chin slightly, and said, "After receiving Lang Jun's letter, I started to do it...... Also made a bigger one, just ...... Well, I can't pull ......"

Fei Qian became interested, so he got up and walked to the open space in the backyard with a crossbow, ready to experiment on the difference between this Huang's crossbow machine and some crossbow machines in the army.

Xiao Modou hurriedly chased him out, still holding Fei Qian's coat in his hand......

This, Fei Qianqian sweated a little, fortunately in the backyard......

Bows and crossbows have always been long-range strike weapons in the Chinese army. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, there have been two kinds of hand and foot pedals, as for the bed crossbow, this kind of perverted weapon, it needs three or five people, or a large long-range device that needs animal power to twist it, although its power is about equal to the use of solid cannonballs, but this does not belong to the category of individual weapons, and cannot be used in sudden field battles, mostly used to attack and defend cities.

Individual crossbows, in general, are far greater than bows and arrows in terms of accuracy, range, and lethality. According to what is now known in the Fei Qian Army, the bow used by ordinary soldiers has an approximate pulling force of about one stone. Weak bows and eight buckets are generally used by women or children. The strong bow is different according to the individual, like the bow that Huang Xu commonly uses, it should be about three or four stones.

But the crossbow, the lowest starting point is one stone, and then one stone at a time, normally used for waist crossbows in the army, almost one stone to two stones, on the three stones are basically stretched, and the highest is the ten-stone rhubarb crossbow, which is the kind of Li Guangyu in the army who continuously sniped the Hun generals and generals, and under normal circumstances, it takes two people to open.

Fei Qian put on his robe, his hair was scattered, he held the crossbow, tried to open it, the strength was not too great, and hung the crossbow string on the crossbow teeth.

Huang Yueying handed over the crossbow arrow, then pointed to a big tree in the backyard near the courtyard wall, and said, "Just shoot that tree, I also shoot it often, there is a big wood tumor in the middle of the tree!" ”

Fei Qian glanced at this yellow-haired girl, it seemed that this girl's daily life was a little different......

No matter.

Fei Qian pressed the crossbow arrow into the arrow, aimed at the crossbow for a while, and then slowly pulled down the suspension knife of the crossbow.

This is the benefit of a crossbow, which provides a steady aiming time. If it is said to be pulling a full bow, it must be shot out in a very short time, otherwise it will be a great consumption for both the bow body and the human body.

With a "snap", the crossbow bolt flew out smoothly, hitting the unlucky tree in an instant, but it did not hit the wood tumor as Fei Qian wished, but landed about three or five centimeters below the wood tumor.

The crossbow of the Huang family, or the crossbow made by Huang Yueying, is still very accurate.

The wood seems to be jujube wood, and the proportion of bronze alloy is not known to be, it looks a little dark, and there are some fine lines on the hanging knife, and if you look closely, it is a blooming flower, this ......

Well, after all, it's the girls who do it.

Fei Qian also knew a lot about the army during this time, in fact, there are many reasons why the crossbow gradually withdrew from the battlefield, and one of them is very cruel, that is, people are cheap......

Because the Han people have not made much progress in the long-term struggle against the Xiongnu, the Hu people's armor has not made much progress, and it is almost the same, so there is no need for more powerful long-range weapons to break the armor, and carrying more convenient ordinary bows and arrows is enough to be competent for such a task.

For horses moving at high speeds, a projectile with a high rate of fire over a large area will be significantly more lethal than a slow crossbow.

Not to mention that a crossbow costs more money......

Therefore, in the army, it is common to gradually use bows, supplemented by crossbows, and even all bows.

However, Fei Qian wanted to use the crossbow again.

Because in this land, the war is no longer mainly against the Hu people, but against their own people.

Fights between foot soldiers will occupy the vast majority, and ordinary bows and arrows will have little effect against the shields of the swordsmen and axes that are densely arranged in front of the formation.

But if you put on a strong crossbow......

Fei Qian has done experiments, the four-stone bow can penetrate seven layers of ordinary leather armor within fifty steps, and can even penetrate three layers of armor, and a hundred steps away, the attenuation is relatively strong, and it can only penetrate three layers of leather armor and one layer of armor.

If you use a six-stone crossbow, then it can be said that within a hundred steps, whether it is armor or shield, no military equipment can resist it......

Unless there is a large shield specially made.

However, the weight of the special shield must also be special, and in most cases, it can only be used for defense, and it is more difficult to attack.

With a crossbow array in a fortified position, it is possible to make even several times the enemy helpless. Moreover, even if it is a slow crossbow, if it is used well, it will still make the cavalry helpless.

Master Cai Yong once mentioned a Han general who surrendered to the Xiongnu, Li Ling, relied on the chariot formation, and then fought against more than 100,000 Xiongnu with 5,000 troops.

In this battle commanded by Li Ling, in the high-intensity battle that lasted for more than ten days, in the face of 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry, the Hun cavalry never broke through the position, in addition to the command factor, it also shows the importance of the crossbow.

Now for Fei Qian, if the crossbow is to be placed on the battlefield again, there are two problems that need to be solved urgently, one is the frequency of shooting, and the other is cost control......

This is also the reason why Fei Qian deliberately took the risk and made a detour to Jingxiang to use the power of the Huang family.

Of course, there are a few other reasons......
