Chapter 475

Soon, someone stood on the shooting range with a dummy draped in iron armor. Seeing the iron-armored dummy standing fifty steps away, Wang Yang couldn't help frowning slightly. "Bai signed the order, what is the maximum range of the Divine Arm Crossbow?"

"Between two hundred and forty steps and three hundred and twenty steps, one hundred and fifty steps, you can enter through the armor, if it is like the Xixia Qizi Jia, you need to get at least close to about fifty or sixty steps before you can ......."

Wang Yang nodded abruptly, he had tested it outside the Yuehua Gate before, whether it was the Great Song Yuan Youjia or the Xixia Qizi Jia, it was already quite good to be able to enter through the armor in fifty steps.

"Then try these steel arms first, oh no...... Let's try to see what is the maximum range of these Yuanyou crossbows......" Wang Yang tilted his head to the side, and ten Yuanyou crossbows using steel crossbow arms began to shoot forward......

After three rounds of shooting, all the Yuanyou crossbows had the closest range of one hundred paces, one hundred and fifty paces, and two hundred to two hundred paces, but among them, there were two steel crossbows that reached about three hundred and twenty paces at the farthest of each other.

"The farthest range is the crossbow bolt painted green and black, and the green crossbow bolt is this kind of ......," Zhang Zhiling's expression was rather excited, pointing to one of the Yuan Yu crossbowmen.

"My lord, mine is the one with the black arrowhead." The other Yuanyu crossbowman raised his hand in disbelief and shouted.

Wang Yang strode up to the two, one using a steel arm crossbow with two mild steel plates superimposed, and the other using a steel arm crossbow with a steel plate four minutes thick in the middle and two points thick with a soft steel plate at the end.

"Steel can actually be used to make crossbow arms...... Bai Zhiling looked at the two of them in disbelief, still a little incredulous for a while.

"Try five more arrows to see if they can keep their range above 300 paces." Wang Yang's mood suddenly became a little excited.

Fortunately, these things did not disappoint me, and it seems that no matter what era it is, as long as there is the right steel, the opportunity to make excellent long-range weapons is not impossible.

Those crossbows that were eliminated were either because the thickness of their steel plates was insufficient and the elasticity was too weak, or because the structure was too simple and the kinetic energy could not be reached.

The next performance of the two Yuanyu crossbows that performed the best did not disappoint everyone, except for one of the arrows that landed within a range of three hundred steps, the other nine crossbow arrows continued to scatter within a range of about three hundred and twenty steps.

Moreover, the time to put on the crossbow is shorter than the divine arm crossbow that requires a lot of effort to hang the crossbow machine, Wang Yang according to the crossbow that has been shot, and then step on it and then start to pull the string, and then stuff the crossbow and then re-aim the process of silently counting, which can be completed in about twenty seconds.

The Divine Arm Crossbow, on the other hand, takes about thirty seconds to complete a string pulling and aiming action. In other words, if the crossbowmen were to be arranged in three or four rows to shoot in turns, a storm of arrows would become a nightmare for the enemy.

One hundred and fifty paces, two steel-armed crossbows and one of the divine arm crossbows used for testing easily pierced through the iron armor of the Great Song Dynasty, and even entered the wood by nearly an inch.

At a hundred paces, the three crossbows unexpectedly penetrated the current standard iron armor of the Great Song Dynasty again, and the wood reached more than three inches, which made everyone present can't help but be happy.

"Champion Gong, do we want to enter the palace now to present this good news to the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager." Bai Zhiling's mouth was trembling, and now he didn't care whether he was out of order or not, and he was chattering crookedly beside Wang Yang.

Wang Yang thought about it, and now he doesn't know if today's court meeting is over, just left to strike iron, strengthen the confidence of those main battle factions, and strive to crush the dog-skin plaster of Western Xia as soon as possible, and lay a solid foundation for the expansion of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

"It's okay, then let's go now, but we should ask Lord Lu to come forward, after all, this is the credit of our weapons supervisor, what does Lord Bai think?"

Naturally, there would be no problem with the white order, and the two hurried to Lord Lu's office, although Lu had the qualifications to go to the court, but the problem was that he was still weak, so the Empress Dowager kindly allowed him to only enter the government office, and he didn't need to go to the court for the time being.

As a result, Master Lu, who was about to have lunch, picked up his chopsticks and saw Wang Yangxiang rushing in with Bai Zhiling and Zhang Zhiling, and the important thing is that Bai Zhiling and Wang Yang each rushed in with a crossbow in their hands.

was directly frightened that the chopsticks in Lord Lu's hand fell onto the couch, and he almost held his heart and pumped it again. Seeing this scene, Wang Yang was so frightened that he hurriedly handed over the Yuanyou crossbow in his hand to Zhang Zhiling beside him. "Master Lu, don't worry, Xiaguan and the others have good things to report to you."

"You ...... Hmm...... Lord Lu hurriedly took out the medicine bottle and took another pill, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. "You guys, can you guys report it the next time you enter the old man's door, and besides, can you not aim that thing at the old man?!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, it's rude, it's rude." Only then did Bai Zhiling notice that the head of the Yuan You crossbow in his hand was facing the direction of Lord Lu, and he smiled embarrassedly and quickly put the Yuan You crossbow aside and apologized repeatedly.

#####

"This, this can replace the crossbow arm of the Divine Arm Crossbow? You're not kidding, are you......" Lord Lu looked at the two crossbows that felt awkward and unpleasant no matter how he looked at them, and said in his heart, these guys shouldn't be too eager for quick success, right?

"My lord, how can you say that, when did Wang dare to joke with you on such a military matter?"

"My lord, it's true, it's absolutely true, Xia Guan can swear to the sky, this kind of Yuanyou crossbow invented by Lord Wang is comparable to the divine arm crossbow, and the important thing is that its crossbow arm is just soft steel. It is no longer necessary to use six materials in the past, and it took nearly a year or two to make a good crossbow arm......"

“…… Mild steel? "Lord Lu took the real amount of Yuanyou crossbow, well, in fact, it is to replace the composite crossbow arm of the past with a crossbow arm of soft steel plate.

And the bow and crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty, the most important and the most difficult to make, are the crossbow arms and bow arms, but what I didn't expect was that Wang Yang's goods actually made things happen in just one day.

Lord Lu smashed his mouth, okay, with a subordinate like Wang Yang, he is happy, but his heart often has an unbearable impulse.

"You let the official see the effect first, if it really has a miraculous effect, then the official will enter the palace with you and congratulate His Majesty and Niangniang."

"Of course it's no problem, Lord Lu, please ......" Wang Yang confidently raised his hand to the side, and then strode out of the office with this Lu Jian Qing.
