Choosing the wood to make the bow and arrows, Wang Lang decided to return, and when he passed through Kong Yi, he asked them to send some people to the tribe to cut down the tree.

After returning to the tribe, Wang Lang used a planer to cut the bow embryo out of a gradient, wide in the middle, narrow at both ends, thick in the middle, thin at both ends, it looked like a flat shoulder, and after more than an hour, the shape of the bow could already be seen in his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Huo said excitedly: "Lang, is this done?" ”

Wang Lang smiled: "Not yet, this is just the beginning." ”

The bow body that is nearly one person tall is very powerful when it looks like it, if it can really be done, Lin Huo feels that his archers will definitely fight ten at a time.

Once the bow is ready, the next step is to tame the bow, which is a crucial step to adapt the bow to the degree of bending.

In the previous bamboo bow, there was no step of taming the bow, the elasticity of the bamboo was better, and it was much easier to bend, but it was not so easy to bend the wood.

If you want to bend the bow, you can use fire, but this method will reduce the tension of the bow, Wang Lang found a sawn log, and carved a groove in the middle of the section with a chisel, just the size of the middle part of the bow.

Grooves are then carved into the log every five centimeters to hold the rope in place.

After doing it, Wang Lang fixed the bow body on the log, found a relatively strong straw rope, tied it to one end of the bow body, the rope passed through the groove on the log, tied to the other end of the bow body, and pulled it tightly to bend the bow body.

Wang Lang didn't know how long he would keep it in this state, he estimated that it would take a long time for the wood to maintain its curved shape, and he planned to increase the degree of bending at night.

Lin Huo, who was on the side, saw that Wang Lang had done it here and stopped going on, and asked, "Is it okay this time?" ”

Wang Lang shook his head and said, "Not yet, it should be almost tomorrow, by the way, there are still dinosaur skins in the tribe?" ”

Lin Huo thought for a while and said, "It seems that there is another one, but what do you want dinosaur skins for?" ”

Wang Lang smiled: "It's used to make bowstrings!" ”

"Bowstring, can't you use straw rope?" Lin Huo asked with some confusion.

Wang Lang said: "The straw rope is not good, if there is a hemp rope, try it, this kind of bow, the grass rope can't bear it, the dinosaur skin is relatively tough, and it should be good to rub it into a rope to make a bowstring." ”

Although Lin Huo didn't understand much, but this new type of bow and arrow was so troublesome to make, the power must be very amazing, and in excitement, he hurriedly ran to the house where the supplies were stored and took out the dinosaur skin.

This dinosaur skin was obtained by hunting a few dinosaurs during migration, most of which have been made into animal skin pockets, and now there is only one left.

The dinosaur skin has been processed, and it is relatively soft to the touch, Wang Lang used a dagger to cut the dinosaur skin into strips, and then together with Lin Huo, every four strips of leather were kneaded into a rope, and this dinosaur skin made a total of seventeen ropes used to make bowstrings.

Everything is ready, and the next thing left is to wait.

The next day, Wang Lang asked the spearmen and the women and old men of the tribe to transport timber to the designated place, the construction of the beacon tower could not be delayed, the tribe in the west had not come to look for the missing tribesmen for so long, so calm, it made him feel that it was like the situation before the storm, and after the calm he was waiting for himself would be a fierce attack.

Wang Lang even suspected that it was very likely that the people over there had sent someone to secretly observe the tribe for a long time, but they didn't find it on their side, and this passive defense situation made him extremely uncomfortable.

The tribesmen were busy transporting materials, and the tribe suddenly became deserted, leaving behind the thirteen archers except Wang Lang and Lin Huo.

After a night of taming the bow, the bow body has been basically finalized, Wang Lang took off the bow, replaced it with the prepared leather bowstring, and a longbow was made.

Looking at the nearly one-man tall bow, the archers all opened their mouths in surprise, this new bow was nearly twice as large as the bamboo bow.

"Bring me an arrow." Wang Lang said loudly.

When an archer heard this, he hurriedly took out an arrow from his quiver and handed it to Wang Lang.

Taking the arrow, Wang Lang took a deep breath, success or failure was a matter of doing so.

Put the arrow on the bowstring, please use all your strength to pull the bow away, aim at the wall in the distance, and shoot an arrow, here is at least fifty meters away from the wall, if it is a bamboo bow, although it can shoot so far, but the power is the degree of piercing the skin, but the arrow just now, directly nailed to the wood.

Wang Lang took the bow and walked over with everyone to watch the effect, what he saw in front of him made everyone stunned, the copper arrow had completely submerged into the wood, and the forest fire wasted a lot of strength to pull out the arrow.

After all, the pure copper is not hard enough, under the impact of this huge force, it has already been deformed, looking at this twisted arrow, Lin Huo swallowed his saliva, and said excitedly: "Lang, the power of this bow is much more powerful than throwing a spear." ”

Wang Lang didn't expect this arrow to have such an effect, touched the bow body, and said excitedly: "Let's go, let's go outside and see how far this bow can shoot." ”

The excited people hugged Wang Lang out of the tribe and stood in the clearing, Wang Lang handed the bow to Lin Huo and said, "Huo, your arm strength is stronger than mine, this time you come to try it, use your greatest strength." ”

Lin Huo took the bow excitedly, touched the smooth bow body and couldn't calm down for a long time, took a few deep breaths to stop his trembling hands, took out the bow and arrows, pulled the bow away with his greatest strength, and shot the arrows diagonally upward.

The arrow drew a parabola in the sky at a very fast speed and landed far away, and Wang Lang visually measured that the arrow had shot out at least more than 200 meters.

The ratio of forest fire can be said to be the strongest on the Yancun side, and if it is replaced by others, Wang Lang estimates that it will not be able to achieve this effect, but the maximum range of more than two hundred meters, the effective range can be more than one hundred meters, such a long distance, before the enemy rushes, enough for the archers to shoot three arrows, plus the protection of the spearmen, it will definitely be a nightmare for the enemy.

Lin Huo put away the longbow, rubbed the fingers that drew the bow, frowned and said: "This bow is strong, but the damage to the fingers is too great, so it's good to shoot an arrow, and if you continue to shoot arrows, your fingers may be worn out." ”

He had noticed this problem when he was shooting arrows just now, recalling that archers in ancient times would bring a wrench, probably to prevent the bowstring from cutting the fingers, and the wrench could not be made at present, but making a few animal skin gloves could barely be used.

Wang Lang said: "Don't worry about this problem, I have my own solution, and you will use this kind of bow and arrow for training in the future." ”

Lin Huo said confidently: "With this bow, and our divine camp, no one will want to hurt us in the slightest." ”
