Chapter Twenty-Six: Shotguns to be Replaced?

Qiu has also recently become obsessed with Gongye Han.

Because Gongye Han is a famous craftsman in three disciplines, iron, wood, and stone.

Not long ago, Qiu Ye was ordered to form a Destroying Blade Battalion, and he also had 500 soldiers under his command, although the comprehensive strength of these 500 soldiers could not be compared with the guards of the Sang Clan, but they were also a horse, and Qiu Ye's heart was very satisfied.

I finally led the troops independently! You don't have to follow the old man all day long, and they mess around behind their ass!

Besides, with Childe's shrewd calculations, he will definitely not do something on a whim, it seems that he still recognizes his ability!

In this case, I have to make some achievements myself, and show my son!

But how?

Qiu was also excited and began to have a headache.

The five hundred soldiers under his command are all horse thieves, and they are no strangers to archery, but after all, they are the remaining people selected by each battalion, and their quality is very average.

There is nothing Qiu can do about this. The level of archery skills, one relies on perennial hard practice, and the other relies on talent and understanding, and it is reluctant to come, and it cannot be achieved quickly.

But if this is the case, won't his own Destruction Battalion become a "Blowing Battalion"?

Even if he barely goes to the battlefield, he is an invincible cannon fodder!

I'm going to die of laughter!

Qiu Ye's mind suddenly appeared Li Yuanru's gloating square face.

No way! As a feather archer, you can't let that happen!

After thinking about it for a long time, Qiu also thought of the Gongshen Craftsman, and now I'm afraid that only the Gongshen Craftsman can help him, right?

So, he found Gongye Han, who was still working in the workshop, and thought that he had deeply poured out the distress in his heart.

The years in the gray sparrow were not in vain, and he told with affection and sorrow, and impressed the honest and kind Gongshen craftsman on the spot, and immediately agreed to help him think of a way.

Gong Yehan is a real person, he sympathizes with Qiu Ye very much, and also hopes to improve the strength of the Destroying Blade Battalion as soon as possible, so he came up with a few ideas in the interval between rushing to make the battle armor, and after a little pondering, he determined the production idea.

He found Qiu Ye and roughly explained his plan and ideas, and then Qiu Ye's originally somewhat obscene face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum.

In the following days, Qiu Ye would take some time every day, carrying a large pot of herbal tea to the workshop, shouting at a group of shirtless old men to ask for warmth, a pair of small eyes full of spring, bursting out like a fire of love, seeing Gongye Han and other craftsmen chilled, they endured the high temperature in the room, and put on a close-fitting pony coat.

Gong Yehan's idea is simple, but very practical.

Since the general strength of the soldiers of the Destroyer Battalion is not high, they can only find ways to increase the power of their weapons.

And it needs to be powerful, but not too dependent on personal ability.

Gong Yehan chose a hard crossbow found in the God of War Palace-the Bull Head Crossbow!

Because the bow of this crossbow resembles a huge bull's horn.

Gongye Han has tested this bull-headed crossbow, the tension is about 800 catties, the range is 600 meters, and the distance of 200 meters can shoot through 1 cm thick iron plate, which is huge. However, the weakness of this crossbow is also very obvious, that is, it is too bulky, and the weight reaches 80 pounds, which is very unfavorable for ordinary people to carry, and it requires 2 soldiers to open the winding with their feet, which is very inefficient in the ever-changing battlefield.

In response to these problems of the bull-headed crossbow, Gongye Han determined two improvement schemes, flat fire and projectile shooting.

The flat-firing scheme maintains the traditional production process, shortening the original arm length of the bull head crossbow, and treating the bull head with a five-color earth solvent. After the adjustment, the weight of the bullhead crossbow was reduced to 50 catties, the tension was reduced to 400 catties, and the firing range was shortened to 300 meters.

As for the projectile scheme, it is the principle of Gongye Han combined with manpower to throw the gun, and a small launch bracket is designed for this bull-head crossbow, and the bracket is marked with a fixed angle scale, which is different from the Wangshan on the traditional crossbow machine, the angle range of this launcher is larger, more stable, and the accuracy is higher.

According to Gongye Han's speculation, according to different angles, different crossbow arrows are configured, and this new type of strong crossbow can make the crossbow arrows achieve the range and penetration effect of the javelin. It's just that the essentials that need to be mastered are distance and angle, according to different distances, adjust different angles, and use different crossbow arrows to achieve the best killing effect.

Gong Yehan quickly made the crossbow for the test and asked Qiu to take it for testing.

Of course, Qiu Ye is extremely cooperative, and every day he will take people to conduct shooting tests of new crossbows in secluded and uninhabited places, and then record the data and hand it over to Gongye Han for modification and adjustment.

After five days of testing and tuning, the data of this new crossbow machine has finally stabilized in all aspects, reaching an extreme.

The maximum firing range is 800 meters, the hit error is no more than 3 meters, the hit error at a distance of 500 meters is no more than 1 meter, and the hit error at a distance of 300 meters is no more than 20 centimeters, which greatly exceeds everyone's expectations.

At a distance of 800 meters, the error is 3 meters, although it sounds like a large error, but it means that at least 20% of the time it will hit the opponent, because at a distance of 800, a special crossbow arrow is used. As for the distance of 500 meters -

That's definitely an outrageous set of data!

Seeing this set of data, Qiu didn't dare to speak for a long time, he couldn't believe that this was true!

Several of the subordinates next to him who were in charge of recording were so excited that they wanted to laugh, but they laughed twice, and suddenly became like crying.

Later, I didn't know if I was laughing or crying.

As a flying feather archer, Qiu also knows that although the bow and arrow are light and flexible, and the rate of fire is fast, the accuracy is not easy to grasp, and the farther the distance, the higher the requirements for the shooter.

Even if he shoots 20 arrows from a distance of 100 meters, his physical strength will drop dramatically, and his accuracy will be greatly reduced.

What does it mean now that there is this new type of crossbow?

This means that under the same number of people, the covering strike power of the Destroyer Battalion is already comparable to that of the guards.

What would happen if the number of Raiders reached 3,000?

What about 5,000 people?

……

Qiu also kept calculating in his heart, his little eyes blinked and blinked, and his gaze at Gong Yehan was hot and intense.

"As long as the data is okay, this crossbow should be improved quickly!" Gong Yehan hurriedly opened his mouth to divert the topic, interrupting Qiu Ye's scorching gaze.

"And how long do I have to wait?" Qiu also stared at him with burning eyes.

"If it is fully produced, it will take three days at the earliest, but the appearance may be ugly!" Gong Yehan's face tightened, and his expression was indifferent.

"Ugly? What are ugly people afraid of! I just need to be fast, not afraid of ugliness! ”

"I'm going to be ugly!" Qiu also patted his chest and said, staring at his little eyes and shouting.

The subordinates of the Destroying Blade Battalion also shouted, and the full battalion suddenly fell into madness.

"Then I'll go and deal with the armor matter first, and besides, you'd better ask Gongzi for instructions in advance about this matter, or it's hard to talk about it if you're a little confused!" Gong Yehan reminded Qiu Ye of his two words, turned around and ran away.

"Little confused, hum! Don't let anyone stop me this time! Qiu Ye's attitude was extremely arrogant, and he shouted a few loudly, but a small confused shadow suddenly appeared in his mind, and the shadow became clearer and clearer, sneering at him.

Qiu Ye suddenly calmed down, unhurriedly arranging his somewhat messy hair, and the same sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, as if he was full of extreme disdain for Xiao Mi, and then let out a light sigh:

"Let's go find Childe first!"
