Chapter 256: Dugu Dark Line

Su Shang stepped on the back of the bow with his feet, and slowly pulled the string with both hands, to his surprise, the bowstring was pulled away very easily, which was easier and less labor-saving than the new military crossbow of the Allied Army, which surprised him greatly.

Su Shang took a crossbow arrow, put it into the arrow slot, aimed at a big tree eighty steps outside the hall door, gently pulled the crossbow machine switch, and with a soft "bang", the crossbow arrow came out of the string, and the arrow power was abnormally strong, and it was shooting at the trunk of the big tree.

"Good crossbow!"

Su Shang couldn't help but praise it, and by feeling, he knew that the power of this military crossbow was much greater than that of ordinary military crossbows, and it was not inferior to his own new military crossbows.

Soon, everyone came to the big tree, and the crossbow arrows were tremblingly inserted into the trunk of the tree, and the arrows were about six or seven inches into the tree!

Du Ruhui was a little surprised, "It seems that the effective range of this military crossbow should be more than two hundred steps, which is comparable to our new military crossbow!" ”

"Not bad!"

Su Shang nodded, a little unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, he knew what the killing distance of more than two hundred steps meant, whether it was cavalry or infantry, as long as it could be equipped in large quantities, this was an artifact for killing the enemy.

Although their own new military crossbow also has a killing range of more than 200 steps, the production process of the new military crossbow is too complicated, and the yield rate is too low, and the 500 craftsmen who specialize in making bows and crossbows in the ordnance workshop have spent almost two years and only made less than 20,000 military crossbows, which seriously delays the equipment time of the new military crossbow.

Moreover, the bowstring of this crossbow is easier to pull and consumes less force than the new crossbow, which means that in the same amount of time, the soldier can shoot more arrows at the enemy, and this crossbow is more powerful!

"How protective are these two sets of armor?" Su Shang asked again.

"Marshal Hui, the protective power of these two sets of armor has been increased by about thirty percent, and the leather armor can block the arrows and arrows fired from eighty paces away!"

Su Shang pondered for a moment, "Let's go take a look at the store!" ”

Soon, Su Shang took a group of people and followed Li Yixing to the bow shop on Xicheng Street.

The bow shop only officially opened yesterday afternoon, and it was temporarily closed early this morning because it was suspected of selling prohibited military items.

There were more than a dozen soldiers standing in front of the store, and a group of people who were watching the excitement in front of the store were so frightened that they quickly dispersed when they saw a large group of soldiers coming.

Su Shang dismounted and walked into the store, the bows, crossbows and other goods that should have been hung on the wall in the store had been taken off and put on the long counter, and more than a dozen craftsmen and shopkeepers were standing against the wall!

"Who's the shopkeeper?" Su Shang observed for a while and asked.

"General Hui, it's down there!"

A man in his thirties immediately took two steps forward and saluted respectfully to Su Shang.

Su Shang looked him up and down and asked, "What's your name, and where are you from?"

"Under Liu Kaiche, Jingzhao Clan!"

Su Shang asked his own soldiers to carry the armored crossbow in, and asked coldly, "Where did you get these armored crossbows?"

Liu Kaiche's face changed instantly, and he said tremblingly: "It was made in the next place."

Su Shang's attitude immediately eased a lot, and a smile appeared on his face, "The iron mesh lining of the armor and the crossbow switch of the military crossbow were all made by you?" ”

Liu Kaiche nodded, "I made it!" ”

At this time, Wei Yunqi also walked in, he glanced at Liu Kaiche with some meaning, and then pulled Su Shang, "Marshal, talk outside." ”

"What's the matter?" Outside the store, Su Shang asked.

Wei Yunqi pointed to the store, "I know the shopkeeper!" ”

"You know?"

Wei Yun nodded, "He is not surnamed Liu, but surnamed Dugu, called Dugu Kaiche, is the grandson of Dugu Luo, he once served in the court craftsman department, and he is the weapon master of the court!" ”

Su Shang was a little surprised, he didn't expect this to be the result, could it be a spy sent by the Dugu family? But if you think about it carefully, it seems unlikely, even if the Dugu family sends spies, it is impossible to be so public, open a shop to sell contraband such as armored crossbows, it is clear that they will be caught, and the spies will not be so stupid.

Wei Yunqi seemed to have guessed Su Shang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I think he deliberately made us notice!"

"Brother Yunqi means that he wants to take refuge in us?"

Su Shang thought about it for a while, and he understood that Dugu Kaiche's pseudonym Liu Kaiche was not to hide himself, but to hide people outside the alliance, this should be a dark line laid by the Dugu family, and they also wanted to bet a chip on themselves.

"It should be!" Wei Yunqi smiled slightly.

Su Shang nodded, and was not ready to enter the store again, turned his head and instructed Li Yixing: "Bring all these people back to the garrison camp, and then bring Liu Kaiche to see me alone!"

After speaking, Su Shang turned over and got on his horse, took his own soldiers and soldiers, and urged the horse to run towards the garrison camp.

……

Garrison barracks, inside the hall of the Chinese army.

Li Yixing brought Liu Kaiche in, and then retreated.

Su Shang stared at Liu Kaiche for a long time and asked, "Is there anything you need to tell me?"

Liu Kaiche was stunned, and then understood that Su Shang had guessed his identity, and he was waiting for his confession.

I was seen through on the first day, and it was a real failure!

Liu Kaiche couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, but he wasn't ready to hide it anymore, so he immediately stepped forward and bowed, "In Xia Dugu Kaiche, see Lord Guogong!" ”

Su Shang nodded, as long as he was willing to confess, he asked again, "What do you want to do when you come to Donglai City?"

"Returning to Lord Guogong, under the order of the head of the family, under the pseudonym Liu Kaiche, I specially came to join the Allied Army, and I also ask Lord Guogong to agree, and please also ask Lord Guogong not to make a noise!"

Su Shang stared at him for a moment, then put the military crossbow on the table and asked, "Compared with ordinary military crossbows, is the manufacturing process of this military crossbow more complicated, and can it be manufactured in large quantities?"

"It should work!"

Liu Kaiche nodded and said, "This military crossbow was made by me three months ago, but the manufacturing process has not yet been reported, compared with ordinary military crossbows, it is the difference in the crossbow machine switch, this military crossbow crossbow machine switch, there are two more fine iron organs, they can greatly reduce the force of pulling strings." ”

"Can this crossbow switch be made separately?"

"Yes! Those fine iron traps are very simple, and as long as a skilled blacksmith can make this crossbow switch alone. ”

Su Shang was a little surprised, the reason why his new military crossbow was difficult to manufacture in large quantities was precisely because the process of the crossbow machine switch was too complicated, and six or seven out of ten finished products made by blacksmiths were often unqualified.

If the crossbow machine switch of the new military crossbow can be replaced with Liu Kaiche's military crossbow switch, not only can a large number of new military crossbows be manufactured, but it is even possible to increase the effective range of the military crossbow again and create a more powerful military crossbow.
