Chapter 57: Test Launch

After the crucible was bought, Yang Wenli had something to do, and he was ready to start working the next day.

However, when he walked into the weapons workshop and was about to start working, Yang Renri reported to him: "Big boss, we have made a small number of standard bows and arrows, please review them." ”

"Oh! Is it? Have you tried it yourself? Hearing the good news, Yang Wenli asked him with a smile.

"My subordinates have tried it, and the range is the same as the bow and arrow we used before, and the shooting accuracy is accurate, which completely meets the standard of standard bows." Yang Renri replied in the affirmative.

"Good! Very good! This proves that we have mastered the ability to make bows and arrows quickly, and to be able to produce them in batches, which is one of the most powerful advantages we can have against strong opponents in the future. Hahaha! Yang Wenli said excitedly to Yang Renri, and finally laughed.

It is no wonder that he is glad that in order to defeat a formidable opponent, advanced strategic and tactical thinking, the quality of the troops, the strong armament strength, and some factors of favorable time and place are all indispensable.

Among them, the strong military strength is also a major factor, the ancient bow and arrow production cycle is long, and the bow master has to make a small number of excellent bows and arrows, so it is called a treasure bow.

However, these treasure bows are not comparable to these standard bows made by Yang Wenli according to the bow-making technology of later generations, and they are far from each other in terms of range, accuracy, and difficulty in use. And he can still make it in batches now, and the production cycle is very short, do you think he can not be excited?

Yang Wenli had already imagined in his mind that in the future, the thousands of troops under his command would use a standard standard bow to shoot at the enemy to form a rain of arrows, which was crushing, and no opponent would be able to stop his attack at that time.

After the obscenity, Yang Wenli waved his big hand and said happily to Yang Renri: "Go!" Bring some samples and let's go back to the mountains to try them. ”

"Yes" Yang Renri immediately turned around and ordered his five slave soldiers after agreeing: "Yiju, Yique, Yizhu, Yicheng, Yiye, you stop what you are doing first, each of you bring a five-bucket bow and a two-stone bow and an appropriate amount of bows and arrows, and go to the back mountain with the big boss to try arrows." ”

"Yes," the five slave soldiers immediately stood upright, gave a standard military salute, and said in high voices.

After this period of training, each of them learned military etiquette, and gradually changed from an ordinary bandit to a basically qualified soldier.

What is it that makes a military man stronger than a bandit? It's discipline, iron discipline and a strict relationship between superiors and subordinates. Not only on the battlefield, but also in daily life, it must be strictly observed.

The reason why the Qi family army is known as the strongest army in the world, and has repeatedly defeated many more Japanese robbers than them with fewer strikes is because there is strict military discipline, and the drum is advancing, and there is a sword mountain and a sea of fire in front of it, even if it is a thousand feet of abyss, it cannot take a step back, even if it is hesitant, it will be severely punished.

Yang Wenli is to learn Qi Jiajun's thinking of governing the army, and more severe than him, if you don't obey military orders or desert on the battlefield, defeat and retreat, not only will you be beheaded, even your family will be killed, in ancient times, the kindness of women will soon kill themselves, and may kill thousands of people. Jiannu is brutal and strong, he will be more savage and strong than them, fight violence with violence, and finally defeat them completely.

……

"Boom" A bowstring sounded, and the arrow branch was like lightning, and at a speed that was not visible to the naked eye, it hit a tree trunk about a hug thick two hundred meters away, and the arrow sank into the trunk two inches deep, and only the arrow shaft was trembling at high speed.

Yang Wenli handed over the five-bucket bow and arrow in his left hand, and took a two-stone strong bow in his right hand...... There was another thud, and the arrow branch had sunk into the trunk of the tree about a foot deep, and this time it was a heavy arrow, which was even more powerful, and the naked eye could no longer see the tail shaft trembling, as if it was an arrow shaft made of steel. In fact, the frequency of flutter is too fast, which causes this visual artifact.

Yang Wenli tried all the bows and arrows he brought one after another, and basically judged the range and accuracy of each bow and arrow, and then said to Yang Renri beside him: "Yes, it is basically qualified, let's make it in large quantities next!" ”

"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission." Yang Renri is a reflex type of standing upright and saluting.

In fact, there is not much difference between the actual range of the five-bucket bow and the two-stone bow on the battlefield, not only one is the use of light arrows, the other is the reason for the use of heavy arrows, although the longest range of the two-stone bow is about 100 meters farther than the five-bucket bow, but in the actual battle, in order to improve the hit rate, it is often shot at a distance of about 100 meters to 150 meters, so that the longest range of the two bows and arrows is actually meaningless, because the five-bucket bow can also shoot so far.

However, there is a big difference in the armor-piercing ability of the two types of bows and arrows, the two-stone bow can break almost any armor, including the three-layer armor of the Jiannu white armor soldiers, but the five-bucket bow can't do it, it can at most break cotton armor or chain mail with poor defensive ability.

It can indeed be called mass manufacturing, because a lot of molds are used for standardization, there is no need to worry about more planing and less planing, and the production speed is very fast. And because of the parallel manufacturing method of the assembly line idea, while training the bow, it can also make the bow body or the later process of winding silk and lacquering, Yang Renri and the six of them, each of them can make a standard bow and arrow every two days.

In total, three bows and arrows can be made per day, and in just three months, a standard bow can be made for every combatant in the cottage.

Three months seems to be a long time, but these slave soldiers and tuntian soldiers have undergone strength training and have initially reached the standard of training bows and arrows.

Therefore, Yang Wenli does not plan to increase the scale of personnel in the armory workshop for the time being. Three hundred bows, in the long run, is far from enough, at least three thousand bows or even thirty thousand bows, but that is after the increase in troops and territory in the future.

Things have to come step by step, you can't eat a fat man in one bite, the future change factors are very large, it is possible that he will move the armory workshop to the northeast, then bringing too many finished bows is a burden.

It is too far from Dabie Mountain to the northeast, even if you go by sea boat, every bit of capacity, and even every drop of fresh water is very precious.

After trying the bow and arrow, Yang Wenli, who was in a happy mood, returned to the armory with Yang Renri and his five slave soldiers.

After a little delay just now, he's going to go about his own business. Since everyone else had something to do, Yang Wenli personally started to do it alone.

First set fire for the stove, burn the charcoal first, you have to heat the furnace first, the first time the charcoal is basically wasted nearly half, and you have to add the charcoal again before you can officially put the crucible and start the experimental melting.

It was noon when he was busy, and he let the stove burn, and went home to eat.
