253, Golden Leopard Tang Long Presents Treasure, Liang Shanbo Forms a New Army (5)

(Ask for collections, ask for red tickets, ask for suggestions)

Regarding the matter of the bow and crossbow courtyard that Tang Long said, Zheng Fei really read the relevant records before crossing over,

It is rumored that at the beginning of its establishment, military weapon workshops such as the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard did create many divine weapons for the Great Song Army, which made the Great Song Army have many advantages in the face of foreign enemies at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

For example, on the eve of the signing of the "Tanyuan Alliance", when the Liao and Song dynasties were fighting each other by force and had increased their bargaining chips, the Khitan general Xiao Dalan was suddenly killed by an attack by the Song army called a three-bow bed crossbow hundreds of meters away, which made the Khitan soldiers shocked and their morale suddenly setback! As a result, Song Jun won a lot of confidence in negotiations!

Weapons such as the Divine Arm Bow were also strictly controlled by the Song Dynasty, and according to legend, soldiers armed with the crossbow had to smash the crossbow before they could surrender before being captured. Therefore, Jin Liao and other countries have not mastered the core technology of its production, although some of them have been imitated with captured divine arm bows, but the power has not been comparable to the original divine arm bow produced by the bow and crossbow courtyard!

Due to the strict secrecy and supervision of the imperial court, the weapons of the era such as the divine arm bow and the three-bow crossbow were also lost when the Great Song Dynasty fell.

The high level of weapon technology mastered in the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard can be seen!

However, later, due to a series of corruption problems in the entire imperial court from top to bottom, the quality of the products used in military workshops such as the bow and crossbow courtyard plummeted, and soldiers often had a situation where the weapons were suddenly damaged and could not be used when they were used on the battlefield.

Legend has it that Song Shenzong once had a whim, and suddenly drove to the bow and crossbow courtyard to check the bow and crossbow, but he drew three bows and crossbows in a row and failed to pass them, and the serious problems of the bow and crossbow courtyard were exposed.

On the other hand, in Liaojin and Jinjin, the weapons produced by their ordnance workshops must be engraved with the name of the supervisor or the craftsman, and if there is a problem with the weapon on the battlefield, the relevant officials and craftsmen will be investigated immediately!

Therefore, although Liaojin's weapons and equipment are not as high-tech and advanced as the Song army, the quality is much stronger than that of the Song army, which is one of the reasons why the Song army has always been defeated by Liaojin.

Tang Long continued to say indignantly, "So, how good can the Divine Arm Bow made from the current Bow and Crossbow Courtyard be made from those wine bags and rice bags?" Often, after not shooting a few times, there will be various problems, or even completely damaged and no longer usable! Over time, the Divine Arm Bow gave the imperial court an impression that it was not durable, and the cost of its manufacture was indeed higher, so it became less and less liked by the imperial court. But the actual situation is that the Divine Arm Bow is actually a particularly durable bow and crossbow, not the younger brother's boasting of Haikou, and the Divine Arm Bow made by my father and younger brother will not have any problem shooting hundreds of times! And the cost of making an improved Divine Arm Bow, even if the materials used are of the highest quality, such as dry, horn, tendon, glue, silk, and lacquer, are more than half cheaper than the price falsely reported by the bastards in the Bow and Crossbow Courtyard in order to get oil and water! ”

Zheng Fei finally showed a satisfied smile when he heard this, and suddenly felt like he had picked up a treasure! This is really as Tang Long said, even if the army of the imperial court has a divine arm bow, it is not the same.

Especially this improved Divine Arm Bow is unique here! Although winding is still troublesome, and if you are too close to the opponent or if the opponent is cavalry, you can only shoot once, but being able to shoot three arrows at a time can also make up for many of the shortcomings in this regard.

Zheng Fei immediately smiled and patted Tang Long's shoulder, "Okay, welcome Brother Tang to join us Liangshanbo, all the unhappiness of the past will be written off, from now on you will be my good brother Liangshanbo!" ”

After that, Zheng Fei glanced at everyone again and said loudly, "Pass my order, Feng Tanglong will be the twentieth leader of Liangshanbo, the ordnance supervision envoy, and he will be fully responsible for the supervision of the cottage ordnance and be directly responsible for me!" ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts moved slightly, and there was another person who was directly responsible for the big boss in the secret way.

Tang Long was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Zheng Fei three times, and exclaimed, "Don't worry, big boss, the little brother is absolutely loyal!" ”

Although Wang Yin and the others hesitated, they saw that Zheng Fei had already made a decision, and the power of the divine arm bow offered by Tang Long was really amazing, so they had no choice but to admit it. In the following days, Tang Long relied on his superb military skills to really care about the weapons of Wang Yin and others, and this gradually and completely recognized Wang Yin and others, of course, this is a later story.

Zheng Fei smiled and helped Tang Long up, and asked eagerly, "Leader Tang, how many people do you need to make a brand new and improved Divine Arm Bow?" How many days does it take? How much does it cost? ”

Tang Long quickly thought about it and replied, "If the materials are complete, a skilled armorer can only make a qualified Divine Arm Bow in five days for a single person, and only three days for a double person, and each improved Divine Arm Bow will take forty times. ”

What the?! Forty times!

Many people were surprised when they heard this price! I can't help but secretly say that this is too expensive! According to Tang Long, the bow and crossbow courtyard is made of inferior materials, and the price falsely reported to the imperial court is as high as seventy or eighty yuan, but it can only be used a few times before it can be damaged, no wonder the imperial court will feel that this divine arm bow is not cost-effective and is unwilling to ration it to the army on a large scale.

Although Zheng Fei was also secretly shocked when he heard this price, he immediately nodded nonchalantly, for him, a divine arm bow that can be used hundreds of times and is really powerful only costs forty times, which is really not expensive!

Because as long as you have such a crossbow, it is equivalent to having the ability to hit the enemy at an ultra-long range, and you can do it before the enemy enters the body or suffer serious losses, what a huge effect on protecting your own living force!

Zheng Fei doesn't like the ancient battle style of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, and is deeply affected by the advanced technology of the previous era, especially some modern wars, how to hit the enemy's vital force as much as possible on the premise of minimizing his own losses is Zheng Fei's pursuit direction!

Of course, in this era, there is no way to pursue any cannon missiles, so a marksman like Pang Wanchun, and an ultra-long-range weapon like the Divine Arm Bow have become Zheng Fei's first choice!

Zheng Fei's only regret is that when he left Qishan, he didn't take some of the huge wealth plundered from the three major grain stores with him, but only brought tens of thousands of Jiaozi money with him, and now there are less than 10,000 yuan left, and he will soon become a poor egg!

Zheng Fei could only sigh in his heart, and couldn't help but think of the figure of the person in the distance,

Zhu Wu...... That's a bargain for you kid! ”

Zheng Fei shook his head lightly to dispel the shadow of that person, and smiled at Tang Long, "It's not good to call this crossbow a new variety of bow, because it's already a brand-new variety of bow and crossbow, and it's easy to attract the attention of the government if it's called a god arm bow, so it's better to take a new name, just call it ...... Break the Soul Bow! ”

Tang Long was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Soul Breaking Bow......?!" Good name! Whoever encounters it will be ruined! ”
