As soon as Wei Li got his hands, he felt very light, only about three or four catties, he could be with one hand, and after playing for a while, Wei Li asked curiously: "Gong Yisheng, there is nothing surprising about this thing, but it is much smaller than the ordinary strong crossbow, what is the use of this?" ”

Wei Li felt that this thing was not very useful, but it was still a little chicken, Wei Guo's strong crossbow was already very strong, could it be that this small crossbow, the range and damage could be stronger than the twelve-stone strong crossbow?

When Ling Mohai heard Wei Li's words, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically: "Lord Gong Yi is too fond of being in the limelight, isn't it, a small crossbow, embarrassed to say that it is a new weapon?" Could it be that the range and damage of this small crossbow are stronger than that of a twelve-stone strong crossbow? ”

Fighting, fighting, the civil and military officials suddenly felt that the show had begun, Wei Li also watched the two of them fight with some interest, these two people have not been fighting for a day or two, they often run each other, and the minister and Wei Li are used to it.

"Haha!" Gong Yisheng chuckled, "This crossbow does not have a long range of a twelve-stone strong crossbow, and it is not as high as a twelve-stone strong crossbow, on the contrary, this crossbow has a range of only three hundred steps, and the accuracy and effective damage are two hundred and fifty steps, far less than a twelve-stone strong crossbow, but it has a burst effect!" ”

A disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Mo Hai's mouth, and he said mockingly: "In that case, then why does Lord Gongyi still dedicate himself to the king?" Looking at you below, you are suspected of grandstanding, is it possible that my Wei State Tiger and Wolf Division wants to give up equipping the twelve-stone strong crossbow and the ten-stone repeater and replace it with this broken crossbow? ”

"Hahaha!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but smile, they all agreed with Mo Hai's words, and felt that this crossbow was too chicken, the range was not far, the damage was not great, and what new weapons were offered, but they were quite excited just now, thinking that the public lost life to make a thousand-step strong crossbow, but I didn't expect it to be this broken thing.

Seeing that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were laughing at themselves, there was not much change, all of which was expected.

"This crossbow is not made for crossbowmen, but for cavalry!" Gong Chuan said sonorously.

"Cavalry?" Wei Li frowned.

"Haha, is Mr. Gong Losing kidding? It is already very difficult for the cavalry to hold Changge against the enemy, and if you take another crossbow, I am afraid that before you go into battle, you will have to turn over the war horse! ”

"Yes, ordinary cavalry are holding the reins of the horse with one hand to stabilize the figure, and the other hand is holding a weapon to kill the enemy, as long as those elite cavalry can hold the Ge with both hands, there is no need to pull the reins to stabilize the body, but the elite cavalry is only a few, my Wei cavalry is 400,000, but the elite cavalry is only 100,000, for the Xuanwei army!"

"This crossbow is not suitable for equipping cavalry, unless you don't use Changge, only use this crossbow!"

"By no means, Changge must use it, otherwise this crossbow shoots an empty arrow slot, will the enemy still give you time to reload the arrows?"

"You can't have both fish and bear's paws, either use Changge or use this crossbow, the latter will do more harm than good, and this officer does not recommend that the cavalry replace this crossbow!"

There was a lot of discussion among the civil and military officials, and they didn't quite approve of this new crossbow.

In this era, there is no stirrup and saddle, and the cavalry driving the horse must free one hand to hold the reins of the horse to stabilize the body, otherwise the beating war horse can throw you off the warhorse, of course, if you are proficient in riding, you don't have to rely on the reins to stabilize, you can stabilize with your legs.

But how many people are proficient in riding? A minister said well, the 400,000 cavalry of the Wei State, of which only 100,000 cavalry are proficient in horsemanship, and the more they fight, the less they fight, after all, the Central Plains people are an agricultural nation, not a horse nation, and they have no chance to contact horses since they came to most of them, even if they are trained, they can only be trained for at least three years to become elite horsemen.

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon, this weapon is specially built by Weichen to deal with the Xiongnu Donghu, as we all know, the Xiongnu Donghu and the Great Autumn Kingdom are good at riding and shooting, thousands of people chase and kill a hundred Huns, and the whole army will be wiped out by a thousand people, and if these thousand people are equipped with this crossbow?" The public loser replied indifferently.

Wei Li's eyes lit up, he really thought about it with himself, a few days ago, he thought about it, when he was going to the Northern Expedition against the Huns after unification, how to deal with the Huns who were good at riding and shooting, it was really a pillow to sleep, as for the saddle and stirrups, this is not a problem, as long as he said it, he should be able to make it.

"Huh!" Mo Hai sneered, "It's a nice thing to say, but the premise is that the soldiers of our army can use this crossbow with their hands free!" ”

The civil and military officials showed their approval, and they all agreed with Mo Hai's words, if they don't solve the matter of stability, it is empty talk.

Wei Ya looked at the male student with interest, to see how the male student replied, he could say this, there should be a stable method.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

The male loser clapped his hands twice again and spoke with his actions.

After the high-fives, three more Qianniu guards walked into the hall, each holding something in their hands, and the style of the thing was very strange, one of them was like a seat.

The eyes of the civil and military officials all moved to these three things, and when Wei Li saw these things, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but wipe a smile, saddle, stirrups, horsesshoes!

Horses need three treasures, all of them are there!

Although he knew what it was, Wei Li didn't say it, but deliberately showed curiosity.

Mo Hai's brows furrowed, feeling bad!

The male loser walked up to the first Qianniu guard, pointed to the thing in the guard's hand and explained: "This is a saddle, which is used for horseback, which can reduce the vibration caused by the horse's jumping, and is beneficial to increase the stability of the body!" ”

Explaining the saddle, the male lost a step, walked to the second Qianniuwei, pointed to something and explained: "This is a stirrup, hanging on both sides of the war horse, supporting the feet of the cavalry when riding, increasing the sense of stability, the cavalry with both feet on the stirrup, can stabilize the body with the help of foot force, only need to be skilled for a few months, you can release your hands, one hand and the other hand crossbow, left and right bow, invincible in the world!" ”

"This is a horseshoe, and those who know horses should know that the horse's hooves are composed of two layers, the one that touches the ground is a layer of hard keratin about 2-3 inches thick, and the upper layer is live keratin. The horseshoe is in contact with the ground, by the friction of the ground, the corrosion of the water, it will fall off quickly, the horseshoe is mainly to delay the wear and tear of the horse's hooves, the use of the horseshoe not only protects the horse's hooves, but also makes the horse's hooves more solid to grasp the ground, which is very beneficial to riding and driving. ”

Gong Yisheng explained the stirrups and horseshoes in one breath, and when the ministers heard this, their eyes showed admiration, and only Mo Hai was blushing.

"It's useless, we don't know if it's useful, we have to give it a try!" Mo Hai said a little unconvinced.

"Yes, you have to give it a try, and you can only make up your mind after you try!"

"The stakes are high, and conclusions should not be made!"
