Chapter Ninety-Four: Cheap Arrows
Zhao Xin used a longbow, not completely superstitious longbow, history proves that the English longbow, the best class of troops and weapons in Europe, at its peak, almost suppressed the whole of Europe, he did not appear in China after all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the one hand, the Mongolian knights at that time were only in decline, which did not represent the strength of the Mongolian cavalry at the peak moment, and on the other hand, he did not seem to have the experience of large-scale confrontation with the longbow.
Zhao Xin only made a judgment from the perspective of research, from the attack power, manufacturing difficulty, logistics and many other aspects, along with the large-scale equipment of the longbow, for the depth of this bow, the original longbow may not be the best, the British understanding of the bow, for the use of the bow, only summed up a most suitable system, this system is suitable for England around the 15th century, not necessarily suitable for China.
China has developed the short bow to the extreme, not only has the most powerful short bow, the strongest representative is the jasper bow, which combines strength and speed perfectly, this is specially suitable for Sun Ji's habits.
The moon bow looks more fierce, but it has a certain feeling of a longbow, the overall bow body is very long, and it feels like a longbow, but he is still a short-term worker, and on the whole, it is a larger recurve bow.
Chinese-style prefixes, let Zhao Xin surprise, this represents more lighting, some non-traditional and Chinese items, made Chinese-style improvements, is it possible to become Chinese-style, it means being able to light up more cards, and even conversely, some Chinese-style, can also do some improvements in other countries, and can also make these cards become, England-style, French-style and other special prefixes, this is not a card that can be swiped.
Ecstasy rises in the heart, especially when the first level is about to end, when the second level is lit, the first level needs to be lit up 10,000, the second level does not know how many, even if it is only 10,000, think about it, in the Song Dynasty, there will be very few cards in the direct second level, step people's armor, jasper bow and other levels, it is only the second level, and they are a grade, you can imagine how difficult this is.
Found this trick, take a second-level weapon like a jasper bow, and carry out a European-style transformation, as long as you do a few more countries, one light does not mean 10 times, or even more light.
hasn't been upgraded yet, the first-level card has already given him a huge help, after the second-level, it will definitely be good, not to mention anything else, come to a few second-level cards that strengthen the bow and arrow, and then the power shown by the longbowman may be greater than that of the ordinary archer, the second level is like this, the third level, that is the third level of the five-level system, will some things beyond the times come out.
But soon, Zhao Xin's face was a little bitter, the reason was very simple, where is it so easy, he was able to change the English longbow to a Chinese-style longbow because he watched the video and really let him do it himself, and he was not an expert in bows and arrows, so he couldn't do it.
There are many countries and many nationalities, but how much does he know, Zhao Xin was a scholar in later generations, and he was a doctor of history at Peking University, but so what, he was just a doctoral student in ancient Chinese history and the Song Dynasty, not in international history, and he didn't know about foreign history.
Using some French tree species, the longbow made is French, this proposition, even he doesn't believe it, let alone the system, the system will always have some ways to judge, such as some French styles, for example, this longbow, also has to achieve a certain power.
It's better to save it, Zhao Xin doesn't know much about these, and he changes it rashly, maybe it will take more effort, and there are not too many methods, it is better to change it to the Chinese style, and he knows more about China.
From a method that can be expanded tenfold, or even tenfold, to a method that is better than nothing, it is okay to increase a little occasionally, but if it increases more, it will be impossible.
A simple understanding of the Chinese-style longbow, but also know a way to expand the card system, the big surprise turned into a small surprise, and did not stay long, just came out, in and out, the time was not long, it was so insufficient 500 breath of time, in such a little time, Sun Ji had already completed the production of 20 arrows.
If you pinch alone, the speed of the finger should be faster than the machine, not only fast, but also accurate, so the machine will be fast, because all are standard parts, under precise control, to complete high-speed manufacturing.
This is not a standard part, maybe the shaft of the arrow is almost the same, but the crossbow arrow is completely different, and it must be pinched just right, that is, Sun Ji is like this, and the power is controlled to a master who lifts weights like a light.
Picking up 20, Zhao Xin nodded and said with satisfaction: "Yes, I'll leave this to you in the future."
As soon as this sentence came out, Sun Ji almost didn't fall to the ground, he was curious about what Zhao Xin was going to do, so he helped pinch the long arrow, and he was treated with a device, the highest strength in the entire Great Song Army, the strength was superb, and he was once the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, and his status was respected, so it was too embarrassing to let him do this every day.
Zhao Xin saw Sun Ji's expression, smiled, turned back to Yan Hua and said, "When the time comes, Yan Dutou can also help!" ”
In a word, Yan Hua, who didn't do a single arrow, immediately turned dark, and the others were the same, seeing Zhao Xin's eyes sweeping over, he immediately dodged again and again, for fear that Zhao Xin would target him, so Zhao Xin was a little funny.
But it's not appropriate to continue to tease them, just casually, just kidding, if you really need to, let Sun Ji come up, there should be no problem, regular manufacturing, don't need this, he has already lit up the card system, if you can, there is absolutely no problem with embodying these arrows.
These arrows, because of the simple relationship between manufacturing, the price of each one is not much, plus 30% of the cost, the price of the whole arrow, is 14 Wen apiece.
14 Wen, for a long arrow, this is not expensive, Zhao Xin knows, simple raw materials, has taken up a large part of this cost, for example, 8 long arrows, about a pound of iron, a pound of iron is about 80 Wen, this is still the current price, so calculated, the price of an arrow iron is 10 Wen, plus 30% is 13 Wen, the other parts, just the cost of 1 Wen, this is not very expensive, even the entire long arrow is only 14 Wen, and it is only a little more expensive than ordinary short arrows.
To fight a war is to make money, and this is especially true for archers, who are pure consumers and the largest of the kind compared to ordinary infantry and cavalry.
When an arrow is shot out is 14 Wen, it is acceptable for a short bow, and a long bow is terrible, a skilled archer, a battle is about 150 arrows - 180 arrows, 20 minutes is 1.5 times fast 2 times of money, which is a little unbearable.
Most of the bows and arrows can be recovered, that is the premise of victory, the feathers are certain, and some of the arrows that are shot in the air can also be recovered, only a small part, hitting hard substances, or body structures, will be deformed, which is also the reason why there are few battlefields to clean.
But long arrows are different, heavier, 8 arrows are also a pound of iron, this value will be relatively large, and it is easy to process.
This is for the current stage, the iron of the Northern Song Dynasty, compared with the Western Xia and Liao, is quite cheap, most of the iron is 80 Wen a catty, and the quality is also very high.
This is the biggest advantage of the Northern Song Dynasty using the longbow, the reason why the longbow has a strong attack power is because it has the rudiments of a thermal weapon, which can quickly shoot arrows.
The Northern Song Dynasty has the basis for producing a large number of arrows with longbows, and also has cheaper raw materials, which are one of the advantages, when the arrows of the longbow are as high as 50 Wen, or even 100 Wen, even the rich Northern Song Dynasty can't afford to use it, a phalanx of 10,000 longbowmen, after participating in a battle, 200,000 arrows are gone, even if the part is recycled, such an expensive weapon, no one can use it.
During World War II, Japan already knew, and during World War I, it already knew the important role of automatic weapons, but under the premise that mainstream countries were already equipped with automatic weapons, they still used non-automatic and not particularly convenient standard rifles such as Type 38, for the simple reason that there was no money.
That's right, in one battle, a shuttle down, dozens or even hundreds of bullets will be fired, which will cause tremendous pressure on Japan.
14 Wen one, it is expensive to use, but compared with combat effectiveness, it is acceptable, besides, in Zhao Xin's hands, it is not that there is no way to solve the price of arrows, not one, but many.
