Chapter 51 - Three-stage Shooting [Ask for Collection]
"Don't talk about it, give me your repeater." Zhao Fan glared at Xu Yong a little speechlessly, pointed to his waist and said.
"Huh? Oh oh..."Xu Yong was stunned when he heard this, and quickly took off the crossbow on his waist and handed it to Zhao Fan respectfully, his old face flushed.
Zhao Fan took the repeater in Xu Yong's hand and played with it in his hand for a while, feeling extremely novel.
The crossbow is heavy, very weighty, about four or five catties, or relatively heavy, and Zhao Fan's later generations know that the difference is that the volume of this repeater is not large, the whole part is made of a kind of wood and cast iron that Zhao Fan can't say, there is a regular arrow box below, there are 3 arrows hidden inside, the arrow is about eight inches long, the wooden pole is an iron arrow, the arrow is diamond-shaped, shining in the sun with a chilling light.
"Why is there only three arrows in this magazine? Shouldn't it be ten? Zhao Fan remembered the information he had read in his previous life, this repeater was very similar to Zhuge repeater, but it was a little different.
"The prince doesn't know, you're talking about ten arrows, that's the Zhuge repeater, this repeater is a simplified version, the Zhuge repeater is relatively large, it is not convenient to carry, and the cost is high, and the arrows are also very time-consuming to manufacture."
"And this simplified version of the repeater is relatively simple, although the arrows in it can only hold three, but the important thing is that this repeater is small, easy to carry, and the cost is low, and the arrow processing is relatively easy." Xu Yong glanced at Zhao Fan a little strangely, and suddenly remembered that their prince had lost his memory before, so he explained with relief.
"I see." Zhao Fan raised the repeater in his hand and said with some surprise, "Then how far is the range of this small repeater?" How lethal is it? ”
"The real Zhuge Repeater has never seen it, but this repeater should not be as powerful as the Zhuge Repeater, this crossbow has a range of about two hundred steps at most, but the accuracy will be slightly worse, it can shoot through the iron armor within a hundred steps, and there is basically death and no life within fifty steps." Xu Yong looked at the repeater in Zhao Fan's hand, and said proudly, "Lord Wang must know that this repeater may be the first contemporary beauty of the Mo family, caused by Liu Menghan, the giant of the Mo family, and is exclusively used by our Praetorian Guards, called the Flying Fish Crossbow, and this is not the most powerful, it is said that Liu Juzi also created a mechanism that can shoot hundreds of short arrows in an instant, called Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle!" ”
"Poof..."
Zhao Fan almost bit his tongue, what the hell? Rainstorm pear blossom needle???
"If you want to say that this willow giant, it is a first-class beauty, that small face, tender as an egg, that big eyes, can hook away the soul, that figure, that appearance, it is simply the national color and fragrance, sinking fish and geese, the emperor personally went to ask for marriage, and was rejected in the end." Xu Yong didn't notice Zhao Fan's abnormality and continued to talk to himself.
"Oh, so you've seen this Giant Willow?" Zhao Fan said faintly.
"Nope!"
"So what you say is the same as the truth?" Zhao Fan glared at Xu Yong a little speechlessly.
"This... The last general also heard about it..."
……
Zhao Fan took Xu Yong's flying fish crossbow, laboriously pulled up the bowstring, aimed at a crockpot in the distance, and pulled the trigger, and the crockpot shattered in response.
For the lethality of this flying fish crossbow, Zhao Fan has a new understanding, in this era of backward armor, this flying fish crossbow is definitely a weapon for killing.
"General Xu, how many such Flying Fish crossbows are there in our army?" Zhao Fan pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice.
"There are about 3,000 of them, it turns out that the Shenwu Army has one, and there are some spare." Xu Yong glanced at Zhao Fan in a bit of confusion, and asked with some puzzlement, "Does the prince want to take these flying fish crossbows to defend the city?" ”
"This flying fish crossbow, everything else is fine, but it is rewound, and it is more troublesome to replace the arrow box, because it can't shoot arrows continuously like the legendary Zhuge repeater, so there are generally only one or two chances to shoot arrows at most on the battlefield, and the overall practicality is not very high, and more often it is not as good as a longbow."
Xu Yong looked at Zhao Fan, who was a little excited, and couldn't help but explain.
"You don't understand, this flying fish crossbow has a lot of wonders." Zhao Fan smiled mysteriously, and instructed lightly, "You go to find thirty brothers from the Guards Battalion and bring the Flying Fish Crossbow." ”
"Yes!" Xu Yong replied, turned around and called someone to go.
Zhao Fan gently stroked the Flying Fish Crossbow in his hand and muttered to himself, "Man, it's up to you this time." ”
……
After a while, Xu Yong rushed over with thirty soldiers.
"Lord Wang, the people have been brought."
Zhao Fan glanced at the energetic soldiers of the Guards Battalion and nodded with satisfaction.
The thirty officers and soldiers were arranged by Zhao Fan, standing in three rows, with ten people in each row, and numbering each row, instructing everyone to remember their numbers.
"Everyone must clearly remember which team they belong to, when the first team shoots, the back two teams squat down, when I shout the second team to shoot, the first team immediately squats, when I call the third team to shoot, the first two teams have to squat, I call all of them, everyone gets up collectively, understand?"
"Understood!"
Although the soldiers were confused, they still replied loudly.
"Okay, first team, squat!"
The ten soldiers of the first team squatted down one after another when they heard this.
"Second team, squat!"
Ten soldiers of the second team followed and squatted.
"All of them, stand up!"
The crouching warriors stood up one after another.
"Very good, that's it!"
Zhao Fan glanced at everyone and said with satisfaction, "Squatting brother, immediately load the arrow box with arrows, wait for the order after loading, I called the first team, the first team stood up, I said prepare, aim at the enemy, I said release, everyone started shooting, and immediately squatted down after shooting, understand?" ”
"Understood!"
"Okay, a hundred steps ahead of the target, the first team is ready!" Zhao Fan pulled out the long sword on his waist, the tip of the sword pointed to the sky, and shouted softly.
The ten soldiers of the first team raised their flying fish crossbows one after another and aimed them at the big tree.
"Put!"
The ten soldiers instantly pressed the trigger, and thirty crossbow arrows flew straight forward, and they were inserted into the big tree one after another.
After the ten soldiers in the first row finished shooting, they immediately squatted on the ground and reloaded the arrow magazine.
"Second Team Ready!"
The ten soldiers in the second row raised their crossbows one after another and aimed them at the big tree.
"Put!"
Thirty more crossbow arrows flew out without interruption and stuck them in the tree, and after the crossbow arrows were released, the soldiers in the second row squatted down and began to load the arrows.
"Third Team Ready!"
"Put!"
By the time the third team crouched down to load their arrows, the soldiers of the first team had already loaded their crossbow arrows and were ready.
"First Team Ready!"
"Put!"
……
After training back and forth seven or eight times, the big tree in the yard had already become a cactus-like plant, and the trunk was full of arrows.
Zhao Fan nodded, the performance of these soldiers in the guard battalion was still very satisfactory to him.
"Lord Wang? This, this, this! Xu Yong was already shocked and incoherent, such a dense number of arrows, even if the legendary martial arts master came, he would have to burp!
"This is called three-stage shooting, General Xu, you can arrange it, let all the brothers in the guard battalion learn it, and then notify the four major families, let them cooperate, and make every effort to make arrows for the Flying Fish crossbow." Zhao Fan patted Xu Yong's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Yes!" Xu Yong responded excitedly and led a group of soldiers to train in a hurry.
Zhao Fan looked at Xu Yong's departing back, with some expectation and some worry in his heart.
After all, practice is just practice, and the tree will not move, but the charge of the enemy's cavalry is overwhelming, and it is difficult to say whether these big-headed soldiers can carry out orders so calmly...
