Regarding improving the efficiency of iron-making and reducing the price of iron-making, this is what will be done in the future, even now, the price of this arrow is not expensive, that is, around 14 Wen, which is a little more expensive than ordinary wolf-tooth arrows, but it is not much, because the main cost is the arrow that comes from the crossbow arrow, and it is unavoidable for the consumption of iron.

Sun Ji took the finished arrow, this arrow is really heavy enough, almost more than three times the arrow of other ordinary short bows, in this case, the bow used is a soft bow with only half a stone, such a bow, can it support this arrow, look outside, and say a little absent-mindedly: "I'll try it here!" ”

Sun Ji pointed outside, about 10 meters away, and said, "Let's see if you can shoot on the courtyard wall." ”

Seeing that Sun Ji was still a little worried, Zhao Xin didn't say much, he left first, he left, Sun Ji had to keep up, his task was to protect Zhao Xin's safety, Zhao Xin was gone, if he didn't keep up, what if something went wrong.

Coming out of the inner courtyard, Zhao Xin casually asked, is there a wider place, Miao Yuan left and replied, yes, led them to the grain drying field, this is the largest place in the village, almost about 80 meters in a radius.

A radius of about 80 meters is almost 10 acres of land, which is not small, and in the harvest season, a lot of grain will be placed here for drying.

Looking at the wide barn barn, Zhao Xin still shook his head, this distance, in Zhao Xin's opinion, is still not too big, the range of this longbow is at least more than 200 steps, such a range, it is easy to shoot through the barn field, and it is easy to produce a certain danger, this is in a densely populated village, across a distance of hundreds of steps, it is easy to be injured by mistake.

"Let's get out!" Zhao Xin said calmly.

The persuasion of other people had no effect, and when they went out, there was a lot of movement, and Sun Ji even went back to bring weapons, leaving Yan Hua in the city, and was responsible for being on the arrow towers on all sides, looking at the surrounding situation to ensure safety,

After settling everything, too much time had been wasted, and only then did I come out of the western walled gate, which was surrounded by an open field, where nothing was planted, and there were relatively few weeds and trees.

This vacant land is a saline-alkali land, because of the saline-alkali land, no crops are planted, and it is the most barren land in the village.

Salinity is a stubborn disease of the land, and generally places where salinity is concentrated will be relatively poor, and such land will not produce much value.

There is a lot of such land in northern China, and the feudal dynasties are often greatly troubled by it, and those who are forced to plant something here will not be able to do so, but unfortunately the harvest is very small.

Zhao Xin knows that the two kinds of plants that can be planted on saline-alkali land, one is Luobuma and the other is castor, which are good cash crops and can also produce considerable value.

In this era, in addition to silkworms, most of the land is mainly grown with grain, people have not yet realized that there are other ways, industrial production has not yet been formed, cash crops have not yet shown, far more than ordinary food crops, higher efficiency under the premise, here is empty.

Zhao Xin didn't realize another problem, that is, this piece of land, very close to the village, the high city wall, gave Miaojiazhuang enough protection, but if the trees and so on were close to the village, it would also cause danger, Miaojiazhuang needed some buffer, and in the end, it was used as a vacant land.

It is very open, at least 500 meters in a straight line, and only the saline-alkali land is more than 300 meters, with a wide view and an unobstructed view.

At such a distance, when it is used to test the Falling Moon Bow, such a terrible 15-stone giant bow, it is slightly insufficient, the Falling Moon Bow can be used as a ballista, and the Jasper Bow is like this, even if it is 10 stones, it is enough to focus on the rate of fire, not the range of the bow.

The attack range of the jasper bow is mainly between 120 and 400 steps, and in this range, it is basically a little farther than here, while the longbow is slightly closer than the jasper bow, but it is also more than 200 steps, which is very suitable in terms of distance.

It was here that Zhao Xin made a decision and said to Sun Ji: "Let's try it here"

"What about the goal?" Sun Ji said stunned.

Sun Ji also thought that he wanted to test the accuracy and strength, and he was not optimistic about the strength and range of this bow, and he also placed some targets, but who knows, Zhao Xin did not do it.

The accuracy of the longbow, that is, a joke, is a little better when shooting directly, when throwing, maybe some talented and powerful longbowmen, perhaps after tens of millions of shots, gradually mastered the skills of the longbow, even if it is a throw, it can also hit the target, now, even if Sun Ji is an excellent archer, a weapon that has never been mastered, of course, it is impossible to shoot.

At this point, Zhao Xin also knew that he was just testing, the projectile of this longbow, except for Miao Yuan, the others were all professional soldiers, among the soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty, with their own ability, they had developed to the highest level, representing the experience and force in the army, which one is very good.

The characteristics of the longbow were shown, coupled with his introduction, after showing the most classic tactics of the longbow, they would all think, and when the time came, they could see the strength and weakness of such a weapon.

Sun Ji shook his head slightly helplessly, but still picked up this longbow, the longbow is about 1.7 meters, so that after using the moon bow, he is not uncomfortable, but the arrow is too heavy, some of which he is not used to, even before opening the bow, Sun Ji still muttered a little, can such a heavy bow be pulled away?

Put your hand on the bowstring, used to a strong bow of 10 stones, such a soft bow, you must also lower the strength, pull the bowstring casually, shoot forward, Sun Ji played this kind of bow for the first time, and the control was quite good, and the arrow flew forward at a straight speed.

"I knew that I wouldn't be able to fly ......far," Qu Yang said.

Qu Yang said it too early, and he was slapped in the face almost instantly, because the arrow did not fly out of ten meters and fall as they expected, flying fast and flying far enough.

They had never used a longbow, but many theories of archery were figured out, and as long as the speed was fast enough, the range would never be close.

Sun Ji was not slapped in the face, but before shooting the long arrow, he was somewhat contemptuous of this bow in his heart, and for a while, he thought of Zhao Xin's magic, and he didn't think he was a toy, but this long arrow, which is three times heavier than an ordinary arrow, can still have such a fast speed, which doesn't make sense at all.

Sun Ji doesn't know anything about physics, many years of military career, they have played with all kinds of bows and crossbows, very clear, the speed of the arrow, and the range is directly related, such a toy, can shoot 20 steps, is already very good, is it possible that it can shoot farther.

On the contrary, Miao Yuan didn't have any knowledge of weapons, and he couldn't see the clues, he just participated in it as if he was watching a play, and he didn't say a word or express his opinions.

An arrow flew out and fell, how long could it be, the heavy body of the arrow, not quite in line with the law of the arrow, of course, it was getting lower and lower, and eventually, it fell to the ground, but this distance was already more than 90 steps away.

It is more than 4 times more than Sun Ji's estimate, the most important thing is that the arrow is still made casually, it is not a very suitable arrow, the arrow is not the same as the ordinary one, it is quite heavy, if it is replaced by a light arrow, this is also a qualified hard bow that pierces Yang in 100 steps.

The high-speed arrow keeps it in a straight line for a long distance, which means that in sixty or seventy steps, there is a huge threat and has lethality.

An arrow came out and slapped Qu Yang in the face, which also surprised Yan Hua, who had been observing from a distance, compared to Sun Ji and Qu Yang, who could see clearly in the distance, on the watchtower, Yan Hua, who was responsible for guarding them, was like a cat scratching.

He is the same as Qu Yang, he is very optimistic about this bow, making a bow is so simple, a group of people have no experience in making bows at all, with some wood chips, they can make a bow, don't be kidding.

But the reality is like a slap in the face, a bow that everyone is not optimistic about, it is actually as powerful as promised, even if it is relatively light, even if it looks so simple, but it has exploded with unimaginable strength.

"It's a labor-saving bow!" Sun Ji, who was the first to react, blurted out.

Zhao Xin nodded, compared with short-term labor, the longbow is indeed labor-saving, in a sense, it is true, but he didn't expect that his simple answer set off a big wave in Sun Ji's heart.

The labor-saving bow has not only completely made up for the shortcomings, but some of the places that should have become shortcomings have become advantages, even if Sun Ji reminded himself before that he should pay attention to this bow, no matter how overestimated, it is impossible to think that this bow will be terrible to this extent.
