Chapter 115: Saving the Southern Song Dynasty Soldier Huang Zu (Middle)
After Wu Dapeng asked the location clearly, he felt that it seemed to be located between the Wudao River and the Liudao River. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The natives of this plane may not be able to cope with the dense vegetation in the southern part of the island...... They chose a more northerly region.
When the six of them were discussing, Wu Dapeng said: "I'll lead the team, any of you are busier than me and more useful than me."
I brought two pistols, a micro-charge, and five grenades, which were enough. ”
Wan Shida shook his head and disagreed, and said: "The first time you engage in such an operation, it is not suitable for you to lead the team alone, how can you have to take care of it...... I'll go with you. ”
Everyone thinks this is appropriate, and Wu Dapeng can't say anything.
In this operation, the seventy or so natives were the vanguard.
When they learned about the bad news in their hometown, everyone grabbed the ground with their heads and their voices were sad...... The originally tense and orderly atmosphere in the Badaohe area was suddenly broken.
The grief of more than 70 people is also strong enough, and many people have stopped their work and are looking at this side.
Wu Dapeng had already been prepared, he jumped on the high place at this time, and said loudly: "You work hard with us, and we will pay you well...... But, you are being bullied, why are you crying?! Can you cry to death the enemy?! We will help you find justice!! No one can bully the people here at will!! Whoever kills us will die!! If the sky doesn't report, let's report it!! ”
Wu Dapeng's voice was so loud that it almost shook the entire Badaohe region.
More than seventy natives stopped crying, and they also began to roar, not knowing what they were shouting......
The hundred miscellaneous soldiers who had been selected from Huang Zu's head were also screaming to rescue their heads......
The eyes of the twenty and a half children were red, and they became inexplicably excited......
Even Wanshida was moved in his heart, and then immediately calmed down.
This is the lowest means of incitement, but Wu Dapeng seized the timing very well, and the shouting shook the sky, and it immediately had an immediate effect, and the twenty and a half children were all excited.
It seems that there is no high or low means, only timing.
A lot of people are asking for battle!
The self-proclaimed talented blacksmith Hu Zhenbei also came out of nowhere, and he also wanted to ask for battle.
He said: "A certain talent, arquebus, except for twenty little brothers, a certain should be the first here...... Why can't you fight? ”
Wu Dapeng said: "You can only build an arquebus in five days, if you also go, who will build it?" ”
"It's not to blame, there are too few helpers......"
"So you should stay and work!"
Blacksmith Hu Zhenbei was speechless for a while, and if he answered correctly, he would give him where he was Wu Dapeng's opponent in this regard?
In the end, Wu Dapeng and Wan Shida decided to bring another hundred miscellaneous soldiers, as well as twenty and a half sons.
Killing is not the same as hunting, and they may want to see human blood.
Provided, of course, that they are going to administer justice, which is a powerful autosuggestion.
Captain Bao Wei said: "Master Wu's family rest assured, we will definitely be able to fight them!" ”
Deputy Captain Guo Beyu said: "Why did those savages capture our people and kill our people? They have knives, we have arquebuses! ”
After saying that, he raised the arquebus in his hand and shouted to his teammates: "We have an arquebus!" ”
The teammates immediately became enthusiastic, and they all immediately shouted with arquebuses!
Wu Dapeng and Wan Shida glanced at each other, feeling that this kid had the value of cultivation...... Learns pretty fast.
They immediately began to prepare accordingly.
All the natives had a steel sword, and the hundred miscellaneous soldiers were divided into sixty pikemen and forty archers.
Speaking of archers, a few more words have to be said here.
Among the people led by Huang Zuxiang, there were originally not so many archers.
Wu Dapeng now selected some miscellaneous soldiers who had been archers from more than 3,000 people, and after testing, he picked them again, which was enough for forty people.
At the beginning, Wu Dapeng immediately ordered craftsmen to work on English longbows.
This guy was very impressed by the scene in the movie "Braveheart", where the long arrow rained into the opponent's team.
Coupled with the impression of watching "Robin Hood", he wanted to change the manufacturing method of the so-called recurve compound bow in the Great Song Dynasty.
Since the Han Dynasty, China has been using a recurve compound bow, and its power is not the same as that of the European leather slingshot of the same period, which is why the Xiongnu, Turkic, Mongolian and other nomadic peoples can enter the slaughter mode after arriving in Europe.
But the so-called recurve compound bow of the Great Song Dynasty was too laborious to process!
During the Great Song Dynasty, there were not only strict requirements for the materials used in bow-making, but also detailed regulations on the specific process steps.
Anatomy in winter, the bow dry wood is naturally smooth and fine; In spring, it is naturally moist and soft; In summer, you will not be entangled; In autumn, all the materials are closed, and the white is tight; If the bow body is fixed in winter, the bow will not be deformed; In the severe winter and extreme cold, the glue and paint are completely dry and solid, so the appearance can be repaired.
In the spring, the bowstring is worn and stored for another year before it can be used.
The above-mentioned complex process takes two to three years.
In the bow-making workshop of the Great Song Dynasty, because the work can be staggered and flowing, there will be batches of finished products every year, but as far as a bow is concerned, its working hours cannot be shortened.
So after arriving in the Badaohe area, he wanted to carry out the bow-making work, and Wu Dapeng couldn't help but be annoyed when he heard that it would take two years to make a bow.
Wu Dapeng said to the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty: "What is this season and that season, isn't it just a matter of temperature!" ”
After thinking about it, those Great Song Dynasty craftsmen shook their heads and said, "No, a good bow should be born at the right time......
Wu Dapeng was speechless for a while, he had no way to explain scientific reasoning to them.
Wu Dapeng tried to make a longbow by himself according to the ancient method.
He directly chose yew wood, which was found in the upper reaches of the Badao River, or elm.
He selected the straight part of the middle of the trunk, with uniform texture and no wooden knots, and began to direct the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty to process it.
Have them shave most of the sapwood off the logs to get a bowed back material with a cross-section of four centimeters square and a length of about one meter two.
By looking at the cross-sectional wood grain, they placed the relatively soft wood core in the middle of the bow back, because the wood core is relatively compression-resistant, and the hard tensile sapwood is used as the position at both ends.
By cutting, the arch back material is trimmed to a thickness in the middle and a slight thin at the ends, and then the ends are slightly narrowed by the two sides, slightly like a flat shoulder.
The two ends are further trimmed into an octagonal shape with a planer. In the dressing, the surface should be flat, the ends are symmetrical, and the thickness is consistent, so that the force can be even.
After cutting out the shape, it is necessary to check whether the elasticity of each section of the bow is uniform through a flexure test, because it is difficult to be completely uniform and consistent with the naturally grown wood, there may be some places that are harder, some places are softer, and the strength is not necessarily the same just because the shape is uniform.
Therefore, Wu Dapeng asked them to correct it through observation and slightly thin the hardness of the area.
In this way, after the bow back is roughly adjusted, the chord grooves can be filed five centimeters at each end, and the outer side of the bow back is deeper, and the inner side is slightly shallower.
This kind of longbow does not have the complex shape of the reverse bend of the Great Song Horn Bow.
Wu Dapeng resolutely refused to let the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty tame the bow by roasting it with fire, which would definitely reduce the tension of the bow; You can't bend it all at once, in that case, even if the arched back is not broken, it will cause internal injuries and lose its elasticity, and the busy work in front of you will be in vain.
Wu Dapeng ordered the Great Song craftsmen to gradually adapt the bowed back to the bending.
He had them make a special bracket beforehand.
Dig a groove to support the back of the bow, and then pull one end of the back of the bow to wind up and fix it vertically on the ground, and the other end falls on the weight, so that the weight of the weight can be increased day by day, and you can't be in a hurry, and at the same time pay attention to whether the curve of the back of the bow is smooth and even, mark the place that is too stiff, and trim and fine-tune the back of the bow after relaxation until you are satisfied.
Before each increase in the opening, it is best to let the arch back "rest" for 20 minutes to release the internal stress to avoid damage to the wood.
When the right full bow opening is reached, the bow is tamed.
Full bow opening refers to the maximum opening that the archer can pull apart, which is equivalent to the distance from the palm to the chest when the arm is stretched out.
At this time, it is also possible to remove the bracket and brush the bow back with several layers of sesame oil or whale oil to serve as a moisture-proof protective layer.
When the oil is dry, you can hang the strings.
The bowstring is tanned from deer tendon or deerskin, which has good elasticity and toughness.
When tying the bowstring, tie it into a special "shooter's knot" so that it does not slip.
The figure-8 knot is simple but effective, and it will be tightened more and more.
The bow was made, and the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty measured the elasticity coefficient by hanging heavy objects, and found that it was about 45 kilograms of force.
The Great Song Dynasty craftsman said: "Less than a stone......
Wu Dapeng didn't like to listen to it, and said: "Ten stones are better, can you pull it away?!" ”
The Great Song craftsman ignored him and began to test the bow, and the result was that the maximum distance was one hundred and twenty meters, and he could shoot flat within fifty meters.
The Great Song craftsman said: "It's too close......"
Wu Dapeng said: "The production process is so simple, as long as there are sufficient materials, this longbow can be mass-produced as a standard weapon, even the archers themselves can use simple tools to make it, without relying on special equipment and craftsmen."
Tell me, how many types of skilled cooperation do you need for bow and arrow processing? How much more do you need for this material and that material? ”
The Great Song craftsman said: "It's too big......"
"Well, that's right, you can use one meter, okay? Wouldn't you? Change it all to me like this, don't want a big Song style! ”
The craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty felt that their skills were underestimated...... You must know that a divine bow is made, it is all earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods, where can it be so casual...... However, he is Wu Shibo, and he has the right thing to say.
So be it, forty archers are ready.
In fact, thanks to the fact that these archers have been trained, they quickly became familiar with this longbow after regular practice.
Guo Ziren was holding a one-meter-long longbow at the time and said, "Master Wu's house, it's not good-looking...... Like a stick. ”
Wu Dapeng patted him on the head and said, "Fart! What's the use of looking good? If you can save your life when it is critical......"
But the half-size people practiced, and it was okay to pull it apart, but the level was too poor, and they would practice slowly in the future, so they were not in a hurry.
But this time, it is not necessary for them to carry longbows.
In Wu Dapeng's imagination, these half-sized children should be holding arquebuses and carrying small longbows on their shoulders, how mighty they are.
But the half-sized gang is not very happy, and this can only be done slowly.
After organizing the team, Wu Dapeng and Wan Shida inspected them on the beach.
The two of them were also heavily armed, carrying a micro charge, with a pistol holster on their thighs and a grenade around their waists.
The two of them thought they were mighty, but the others didn't think so, because they hadn't seen anything powerful.
Among them, the twenty and a half sons were the most neat, the hundred miscellaneous soldiers were barely there, and the more than seventy natives looked like bandits, but they were far more vicious than the others, and they were the most murderous.
After Wu Dapeng made another incitement to national unity, everyone's hearts became even more sufficient.
They lined up on three sea boats...... In fact, two ships are enough, but Wu Dapeng is estimated to be able to bring back some prisoners, so even if he adds one more.
They took advantage of the southeast monsoon and swooped viciously towards the north.
