Chapter 55: The Power of the Bed Crossbow
Say more inexplicable words, and it will make people feel more unfathomable.
Li Jian admired Zhang Yuan from beginning to end, and this point must have not changed, so whether he understood it or not, he would subconsciously nod his head.
Thinking about carrying Li Jian, Zhang Yuan took out the three-bow bed crossbow pattern that had just been embodied in the system from his arms.
"This is an improved weapon, you take it and take a look, and after reading it, ask Lao Zhao to make one according to the above."
Li Jian took the silk silk and opened it to take a look.
"Is this a bed crossbow?"
"Yes, you've seen it before?"
"I heard my father say, but at the moment, the territory of the Han Dynasty is peaceful, and there is no siege and defense battle, so the bed crossbow is not commonly used in the army."
It is true that the main wars of the Han Dynasty have shifted from the inside to the outside, the west and the north are nomads, the bed crossbows are too heavy to use, and the cities in the south look like a joke.
Just like the county town of Yelang Country where Zhang Yuan went, the one-person-high mud wall and the three-bow bed crossbow are afraid that they can be directly penetrated.
"It will be of great use in the future, you go and tell Lao Zhao, I want ten arrows and three bed crossbows in half a month.
The specifications of the arrows are also on them, but the arrows are all made of steel and have to be barbed. ”
This is the first time that Zhang Yuan has explained things to Li Jian, and Li Jian has also made a decision in his heart that he must do things.
The arrows of the three-bow bed crossbow are almost the same as spears, but Zhang Yuan doesn't want to take the spear instead, he wants to show Tian Wei the most suitable one, and then let Tian Wei show it to Liu Che.
On the same day, the Zhang Mansion moved.
Those who were familiar with carpentry began to make bed crossbows, and the bears went to smelt iron.
As for the three bows, which are also particularly critical, Zhang Yuan directly sent someone to Chang'an to buy a ten-stone bow, that is, a rhubarb crossbow, and transformed it and installed it on the bed crossbow.
Since the Zhang Mansion built all the necessary houses, Zhang Yuan has never asked everyone to do these non-agricultural things, but this time it is a matter of whether he can be transferred out of the Tingwei Mansion, and even participate in the war launched against the Xiongnu next year, until the result of rewriting the Ma Yi scheme.
Zhang Yuan has already figured out the things that changed history, and his appearance itself is not in line with common sense, and he now feels that history has a strong corrective force, as long as the final results of the Huns do not deviate too much, there will be no major problems.
As for the fate of someone involved, it is no longer a problem that Zhang Yuan can consider.
Anyway, because of his own reasons, Zhuo Wenjun did not marry Sima Xiangru, and Sima Qian would not even mention Zhuo Wenjun again when he finally wrote "Historical Records".
Soon ten days passed, and Zhang Yuan also saw the efficiency of Zhang's mansion.
These things are all done for the first time, and Lao Zhao is very strict, and the surface of the bed crossbow has even been polished.
"Let's go, pull it out and we'll give it a try."
Zhang Yuan was very excited now, pulling dozens of strong men in the house, holding these bed crossbows that had just been completed, and went down to the field.
This is its own territory, and no one will be in charge of testing the power of the weapon, and the front one is planted with watermelons and potatoes, and there is no fear of destroying the crops.
"Load the arrows."
"Whoa."
Xiong Da and the others loaded a main arrow and a few shorter arrows on the bed crossbow.
Not only are these arrows barbed, but the feathers on the tail of the arrows are also replaced by blades made of stainless steel.
This maximizes the lethality of the three-bow bed crossbow.
"It's time for a test launch."
"Whoa."
After Xiong Da promised, he led all the strong men and began to pull the leash back, and there were people turning the winch on the side. Kanshu.com
There were fifty men pulling the rope and turning the twist, but they were not able to fill the three-bow bed crossbow.
Zhang Yuan didn't just think that it would be nice if there could be a spring.
If you have a spring, you can eject an object with minimal force.
"The head of the house, I can't pull it."
Zhang Yuan nodded.
"It's okay, let's release the arrows."
The man in control of the winch let go of his hand at once, and the man with the axe on one side cut the tow rope.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Only a few sounds of breaking the sky were heard, and the five arrows flew out at a speed that looked a little blurry to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Yuan couldn't see it.
"Quick, follow the trajectory and see how far the range is."
"Whoa."
Immediately, several people followed the trajectory of the five arrows.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, several of them slowly walked back with arrows in hand.
The reason why it is slow is that they have to measure the distance with their own steps.
"The head of the house, the middle one flew out five hundred feet."
One zhang is ten feet, one foot is almost more than twenty centimeters, and a thousand meters must be there.
Zhang Yuan calculated the distance in his heart, this bed crossbow has not been completely full, and if it is full, it will definitely be farther.
The other small arrows were even seven hundred zhang away, and Zhang Yuan was a little surprised.
The others didn't feel anything, except for Li Jian, who had seen the bed crossbow.
"Ah Yuan, your weapon is really a sharp weapon.
I've never heard of a bed crossbow that can shoot 700 zhang away, can this be up to 1,000 zhang if it is full? ”
Zhang Yuan shook his head, in fact, fifty people were almost full, unless he could replace the bowstring with a spring, but even a thousand zhang like this would be difficult.
However, the current effect is already satisfactory, it can shoot 500 zhang, at least within 300 zhang, it can achieve the maximum lethality.
"Lao Zhao, send someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an City, no, you still go in person.
If you go and tell Mr. Jifu, just say that the weapon I promised him has been made, and let him come to me. ”
A few years ago, when watermelon and sugar were scarce, Lao Zhao transported these things to the Wu'an Hou Mansion in Changlingyi, and the people in the Hou Mansion were familiar with Lao Zhao, and if they were replaced by someone else, they might be driven out as a troublemaker.
"Oh, the villain will go to Chang'an."
Zhang Yuan nodded, Lao Zhao was still very relieved to do things.
"If you rush to go today, you will definitely not have time to come back that day, bring some money, stay in Chang'an City for one night, and then hurry during the day."
"Whoa."
Shanglin Yuan is not a safe place, it is good to walk through during the day, if those wild people come out at night, it is really dangerous.
Zhang Yuan doesn't have a good solution to this matter now, the government is so forced to divide people into savages, Zhang Yuan can't control it or even speak.
The funniest thing is that those wild people don't hurt people, if Zhang Yuan was assigned to the wild people, he would have already claimed the king.
