Chapter 102: Test Shot Heavy Crossbow

People who often go back to their hometown know that there is a kind of hunger in the world called grandma thinks you are hungry......

Yu Zhou and they have long since lost the elders of their grandmothers, but the sum of all kinds of seven aunts and eight aunts who are like nothing, that kind of full enthusiasm almost gushes out, which is very overwhelming. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Shall I go make you something to eat?"

"No, uncle, I'm not hungry."

"I didn't ask you if you were hungry!"

“……”

Xiang Ran's experience is not bad, after all, she rarely goes out, and what makes Yu Zhou wonder the most is that the Yan brothers and sisters are obviously orphans, and they are shaking wherever they go to eat?

In this era when ordinary people can only eat two meals at most, inviting someone to eat is the most practical and direct way to express their concern.

Yu Zhou, who loosened his waist and couldn't eat anymore, hurriedly hid in the wood workshop, the wood fragrance came to his nose and refreshed his spleen, and with the sound of the saw "choking", he finally found a bit of busy breath.

Song Zhi held the ink wire box, closed one eye to see if the wood was straight, and could actually see Yu Zhou coming by his peripheral vision, but it didn't sound very good when he spoke: "Bastard boy, it's all your good idea, it's getting harder and harder to bring now, and I've learned to talk back!" ”

was blamed, Yu Zhou was confused, this is not outside, he didn't remember what bad idea he had?

"Uncle Song, I don't understand what you said, who made you angry, how did it happen to me?"

Song Zhi pinched two fingers: "You sent someone to build this kind of nail, right?" It's a terrible thing! You don't know that copper and iron are precious, why waste them here?

The woodware made by someone in Song can be as stable as a mountain without this thing!

Hmph, with this thing, I give those bastards an excuse to be lazy, and I don't even learn the mortise and tenon joints handed down by my ancestors......"

Yu Zhou then understood what the problem was, speaking of mortise and tenon and nails, it is obvious that the former is the essence of thousands of years of wood, interlocking with each other, without any superfluous things but more solid, that is, the interface is troublesome, not to mention the need for high design wisdom, the difference in fineness can not correspond to the slightest.

Slow work and a hammer thing, of course, the young half-grown son chose the latter.

But Lao Song doesn't see it that way, not to mention that mortise and tenon joints belong to ancestral crafts and cannot be lost, what are nails used for? It's something nailed to the door for decoration, or something used on top of a coffin! Where can the two be compared!

Regarding this point, Yu Zhou is very supportive of Song Zhi, after all, simple things have no skills, and cumbersome wisdom wants to be inherited, and it can't be used to promote laziness from the root: "Uncle Song, don't worry, I'll teach those boys a lesson when I go back, and I will use small workers in the future, you can beat and scold and scold, Tong Lu will never spread a word of nonsense." ”

Song Zhi nodded with satisfaction: "It's about the same, in fact, I also know that the things used for the battle formation don't have to be so fine, but to learn the craft, everything has to start from the foundation, right?"

If they all had your cleverness, why did I bother to teach them over and over again to make them what they are now! ”

Tong Lu's heart is high, this is understandable, follow Mrs. Xiang to recognize the words, follow Yan Heng and them to learn a little skill with a stick in the east and a hammer in the west, how can you still look at carpenter work?

Yu Zhou decided to kill the bastards, but before that, he had to finalize another thing.

"Uncle Song, is the kind of heavy crossbow I said before made now?"

Speaking of this, Song Zhi swept away the gloomy color, his two eyebrows shook twice like a dance, and he said with a bright face: "Of course it's done, and I don't look at who I am, what, now?" ”

"I've thought about it."

Song Zhi made a clear look, buried himself in the case and pulled it up, and after a while, he found a sturdy piece of yellow paper and waved it twice: "The dimensions are all here, I have already remembered it in my heart, you can take this drawing." ”

Yu Zhou was in a trance for a moment, feeling that the person in front of him was more like a design engineer in later generations, and after taking the drawing and looking at it again, the feeling was even more profound.

The charcoal light drawing lines are hard, and even the three-dimensional painting method is used in some places, and the whole crossbow machine jumps on the paper, not to mention, even the soaring murderous aura can feel a little bit, but seeing the counting of "twenty or thirty" makes him a little tired.

"Uncle Song, where is the real thing?"

"Hehe, can't wait, right? Let's go, let's go test firing and see. ”

The two of them walked while talking, and came to an empty shack, the grass house was messy, and people who didn't know would think it was a livestock shed, although they had said it many times, Song Zhi continued to talk to himself: "Put it here to avoid the scorching sun, the wood is too wet and too dry......"

Yu Zhou already knew it, and couldn't wait to step forward to uncover the tarpaulin and raise a few dusts, indicating that this thing was often maintained, and it was Uncle Song's heart.

The solid wooden frame has one wheel on each of the four legs, which is convenient for pushing and steering; The huge winch was wrapped around and around the rope, almost as thick as an arm; The crossbow arm structure of two positive and one negative is unique, just looking at the width of the arrow groove that can accommodate a spear, you know that the lethality of this thing is amazing!

Big! The most important thing is to be big enough! The length of a single-sided crossbow arm can be compared to the height of a person, and this whole crossbow machine can't be placed in a smaller house!

The three-bow bed crossbow, or the bed crossbow, the eight-cow crossbow, this is the weapon specially prepared by Yu Zhou.

Compared to the delicacy of the repeater, this object is more cumbersome and difficult to transport, but it is out of the torsional category, and the bed crossbow driven purely by the bow force can shoot more fiercely and farther.

The unique two-forward, one-back, three-sheet bow can make the accumulation more powerful, the momentum stronger, and more importantly, this subtle design increases the pull distance, which can stabilize the arrow when firing, and push an extra ......

If Yu Zhou were to use modern words to describe it, this thing would not just be the poundage of three bows, but it would have a triple rebound limit, producing three times the working distance!

Of course, it also has a well-known achievement, that is, on the eve of the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Song army shot the Liao general Xiao Dalin to death...... Six hundred steps away, everyone needs to have some luck and enough strength.

As far as Yu Zhou knows, the range limit of the Eight Bull Crossbow should be between 700 and 1,000 steps, can it be successfully imitated?

Just as he was carefully stroking the bow arm, Song Zhi got up roughly, knocking here to listen to the movement, kicking there twice to see the reaction, and he was extremely excited to see the bloody appearance, like a father who saw his son's repeated exploits, worried, and more proud......

"Uncle Song, didn't you test shoot this thing after it was made?"

Song Zhi rubbed his palms against each other: "I've shot it, but I can't stop it and I want to see it again, if I don't feel sorry for the bow arm, I can't wait to shoot a few arrows every day." ”

"How far can this thing shoot?"

Song Zhi was stunned: "Last time I used a spear, it was about five hundred steps, and I will try to get some arrows when I go back." ”

Yu Zhou silently calculated, it seemed that the difference between the Qin ruler and the Song ruler after correcting the Qin ruler and the Song ruler was not big, and he felt a lot more relieved.

"Let's use a short spear this time."

"Good!"

When he really opened the bow and hung the strings, Yu Zhou knew why this murder weapon was called the Eight Bull Crossbow, although the winch saved a lot of effort, and despite the clever combination of pulleys, the two of them still couldn't shake the bowstring in the slightest.

As he rushed around, he looked forward to the power of the three-bow bed crossbow even more.

The sound of "creaking" made people's teeth sour, Yan Heng was useless, he was small and had little strength, it was easy to hang up the bowstring, and the dozen or so people present were all sweating profusely.

When the wooden hammer was held in his hand and looked at it, Yu Zhou asked, "Where do you want to shoot?" ”

Song Zhili didn't pay attention to the bewitchment of the bastard boy, and while putting arrows into the arrow trough, he aimed at the distance with one eye and said: "Just shoot westward, there are mounds and lakes over there, and you can see the range of power in the vast land." ”

"Good!"

As soon as the words fell, several people quickly adjusted the turning of the bed crossbow, and after putting down the brake, they saw the wooden hammer in Yu Zhou's hand, and they couldn't wait to try it themselves.

"Boom!"

"Woo——!"

The hammer struck, and the spear flew out not with the usual arrow whizzing through the air, but with a dull whine of a stick.

The distance of hundreds of steps has long exceeded the limit of vision, and the young man who put his hand on the socket can only faintly see the short spear splashing and disappearing.

“……”

“……”

"How far is it from here to the lake?"

"Probably...... Six hundred steps, right? How can you really shoot into the lake? Didn't you have that much power last time? ”

"I think...... If you design a special type of arrow, this distance can be even longer. ”

"Nonsense, do you see that the short spear is shot on the shore? It was straight into the water, and if you calculated it carefully, I am afraid that it is more than 700 steps! ”

The young man sent to look for the arrow returned empty-handed, shaking his head to indicate that he did not see the short spear floating on the water, and after thinking about it, it seemed that there was only one explanation for shooting into the mud, and everyone looked at the Eight Bull Crossbow again, and the heat in their eyes was indescribable.

"Shoot that cliff! Yes, yes, the one full of yellow mud looks like a city wall, show everyone how powerful it is! ”

"That's right, the sub-period is fast-shooting!"

"Shoot, what are you doing in a daze?"

Yu Zhou's head was black, ignoring the words that were easily misleading, and shouted: "The strings haven't hung up yet, shoot your sister." ”

I don't know if these boys are stupid or excited and out of their minds, but no one jumped out and said no, "hey, hey, hey" re-hung the strings, staring straight at the hammer.

Yu Zhou took the opportunity to take a look, this thing needs at least a dozen people to operate, and it is not difficult to adjust the launch, the key is that every time you turn the winch, it is not easier than pulling up a suspension bridge, which makes people helpless.

"I once, come on this time."

Putting aside the stupid boy you grabbed me, he now just wants to take a closer look at the pros and cons of the three-bow bed crossbow from the perspective of a bystander, not to mention the large size and the need for manpower, and more importantly, this thing is a bit too dangerous, and the strength of the bowstring bouncing back and forth after firing is enough to easily break a corbel......

"Boom!"

"Woo——!"

"Huh!"

This time the target was closer, and the sound of the short spear shooting into the cliff was quickly heard, and between the pieces of sand and gravel rolling down, the short spear was stuck straight into the mountain, not moving at all.

"Go and see how many inches you sink into the ground!"

Yan Heng, who was light and agile, was the first to arrive, and the almost straight cliff was like walking on the ground for him, and he really touched the short spear, but found that he couldn't measure it at all......

Because he can't pull it out!

"What's going on? You haven't eaten? ”

"Don't say it, be careful to turn your face with you, I just saw him have a round stomach this morning, this is to support it!"

"How about it, Yan Xiaoliu, if it doesn't work, just change a few of us!"

They are all from a Tong Lu, these guys have not learned to keep their mouths dirty, and after a moment of ridicule, Yan Heng really couldn't stand it, and his body had fallen back to the ground between movements, and he looked at a few bad friends with an unkind face.

"Sub-period, if I'm not mistaken, it should be more than three feet into the ground."

"Hey, hey, if you can't pull it out, you can't pull it out, what's the matter with making up a random number? We're not blind yet! ”

The corners of Yan Heng's mouth twitched: "Do you have to use your eyes for this?" Don't know how to use your brain? If you can't pull it out, it means that it is powerful, and there are less than three feet left outside the six-foot-long short spear, so how much is it necessary to say how much it is inserted? You have studied arithmetic and there is no ......"

The young man choked for a moment, put his tongue on his cheek and said vaguely: "I thought of it a long time ago, I didn't remind you ......"

Yu Zhou didn't pay attention to the bickering between them, in fact, from the moment the power of the three-bow bed crossbow was fully revealed, his mind was no longer on the weapon of war, the thing was that the dead were alive, as long as there was this group of old or young companions, what could he not want in the future?

"Uncle Song, you've worked hard these days, and you've worked hard to do your best together, the war is about to start, how many of these things can be made before spring comes?"

Song Zhi shook his head: "At most, there are ten crosses, and there are no more, you don't know how difficult it is to dry and shape the wood, this is a time job, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

"Ten is ten, I'll want them all!"

……

……

I remember that before Mulan set out on the expedition, she bought horses in the east market, saddle sheaths in the west market, bridles in the south market, and long whips in the north market......

At this time, Yu Zhou was not far behind, and after watching the demonstration of the three-bow bed crossbow, he went to the steel furnace and the leather workshop to set some armor respectively, and then dragged his tired steps back home.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the little sister who had no interest was standing with tea, on both sides of the table, Xiang Chao and Xiang Liang brothers were fighting against each other, and the chess pieces were jumping around......

"Huh? Uncle Xiang? You're not in Wu County......"

Xiang Liang didn't reply, frowning and staring at the chessboard, and said casually: "I'm almost enough of this county guard, it's more interesting to ride the wind and waves on a warship, anyway, it's all trivial, I'll throw it to Xiao He and come back to see how the ship is built......"

When Yu Zhou heard this, he was about to step forward, but Xiang Chao shouted: "Don't come here!" He's about to lose this game, and he'll definitely find a chance to overturn the chessboard!

If it depends on you, I don't care about that, I have to restore it well! ”

“……”

To be honest, whether it is Xiang Chao who I have seen in this life or Xiang Liang who I heard about in my previous life, he is a good player when he fights, but when it comes to chess skills...... Yu Zhou didn't know what was more serious about these two stinky chess baskets.

Carefully bypassing the battlefield of the two, Yu Zhou glanced at his sister-in-law, and when he lured her out, a burst immediately knocked on the door of his head: "Serving tea and pouring water so diligently, why didn't you see me like this before?" You're not married yet! ”

In just a few days, this girl who loves to dance knives and guns seems to have learned to be gentle overnight, holding her head and saying aggrievedly: "Big brother, I didn't mean to...... Those are the elders......"

"Who pulled off Master's beard? How did Old Man Fan's blue sword fall into the water? Father-in-law's Hammer ......"

"Oh, don't talk about that, that's all in the past, big brother, when are we going back to Qu? I kind of miss the barracks......"
