Chapter 162: Overlord Bow Appears

"Win"

"Win"

"Win"

When the soldiers of Liangshan saw Xuanzan turning their horses back to the battle, they couldn't help but make a noise.

However, the officers and soldiers of the opposite camp were all shocked by Hua Rong's divine shot, and they didn't dare to come out one by one, for fear of provoking Hua Rong's attention and killing them with one arrow.

Chao Yong watched Hua Rong and Xuanzan shoot each other, and it was also itchy, and he hit the horse and said with a smile: "Try my divine arm bow, and ask General Hua for guidance." ”

When he attacked Gaotang Prefecture before, after seeing Hua Rong's divine shooting, Chao Yong began to look for a bow and arrow suitable for him after returning to the mountain.

Don't talk about Liangshan, even if you can't find a strong bow suitable for him in the whole world.

In the end, Hua Rong suggested that he directly use the Divine Arm Crossbow, which has a range of more than 300 steps, and at a distance of 240 steps, it can also enter the elm for half a minute, which means that it can still shoot through most of the armor at 240 steps.

It can be said that it is the longest-range small crossbow arrow in this era, and the more terrifying one is the bed crossbow, which uses the combined force of several bows to shoot crossbow arrows, with a range of more than a thousand steps, but the bed crossbow is a large crossbow arrow, and a person cannot carry it at all.

Chao Yong also heard the name of the Divine Arm Crossbow in later generations, because the Divine Arm Crossbow is the longest-range crossbow arrow in human history, but because there is no physical inheritance in later generations, and the manufacturing method is also lost, many descendants suspect that the true range of the Divine Arm Crossbow is not as far as recorded in the history books.

After Liang Shan got the Divine Arm Crossbow, Chao Yong also studied it carefully.

The bow power of the divine arm crossbow is more than four stones and six buckets, that is, more than 425 Song catties, or about 269 kilograms. Yue Fei opened the 300 Song Jin strong bow, and he was called a god. If there was no mechanism, Yue Fei would not be able to pull the Divine Arm Bow. However, the craftsmen of the Northern Song Dynasty set up ingenious mechanisms on it, so that some elite soldiers could use their waist to pull away the divine arm crossbow.

Although it is assisted by a mechanism, the speed at which the bow is fully wound is very slow, so the practical surname of the Divine Arm Crossbow in field combat is not very large. Moreover, the complexity of the mechanism determines that the Divine Arm Crossbow cannot be mass-produced at all, so it cannot be used as a main weapon when defending the city.

In order to avoid the loss of the Divine Arm Crossbow, each Divine Arm Crossbow has a record in the imperial court, and once the city is broken, it must be destroyed in time to avoid falling into the hands of the enemy.

It is precisely because of the scarcity of the divine arm crossbow and the poor practical surname that when the Jin soldiers went south, the Song Dynasty was a little helpless against the heavy cavalry of the Jin soldiers, and the soldiers were required to sacrifice their lives to cut the horse's legs.

And because of the strict control of the imperial court, the divine arm crossbow was rare after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong organized craftsmen to make the divine arm crossbow, but because some of the court craftsmen died in the war and some were taken away by the Jin State, the precision mechanisms required for the divine arm crossbow could not be made all, and finally only made a simplified version of the divine arm crossbow to defeat the enemy, although it can also penetrate the heavy armor of the Jin State, but the range has been reduced to 100 steps, and it is still a stepping crossbow, and the practical surname is still lacking.

Although Liang Shan was lucky enough to get more than ten Divine Arm Crossbows, Liangshan craftsmen could not imitate the precise mechanisms on them at all, and these Divine Arm Crossbows became consumables, and once they were scrapped, they could not be replenished, so Liang Shan never used these Divine Arm Crossbows.

Chao Yong was able to pull the Divine Arm Bow with the strength of his two arms, but the mechanism on it hindered his ability to open the bow, so he asked the craftsman to remove the mechanism on it and replace it with an ordinary bow and arrow.

Chao Yong came this time, and he also had the idea of trying arrows.

Hua Rong said with a smile: "Archery is one in eyesight, the other is in arm strength, Brother Yong has these two points, and the rest is just practice makes perfect." I'm also just trying to see the power of Brother Yong'er using this divine arm bow. ”

Although Hua Rong is known as the Divine Arm General, the bow used is only three stones, so he naturally wants to see the power of the Divine Arm Bow.

Chao Yong beat his horse and came to a distance of two hundred steps from the camp of the officers and soldiers, took out a special iron arrow from the quiver, put it on the string, took a deep breath, and with a strong force, the bow of the divine arm was pulled into a full moon.

Hua Rong watched the divine arm bow that ordinary people couldn't pull on the side, but it was pulled by Chao Yong's "squeak", and if he dragged it again, he was afraid that the bow would break.

Xuanzan saw that someone was actually pulling a bow two hundred steps away, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this guy crazy, there is no such strong bow in the world." ”

When the soldiers in front saw Chao Yong draw their bows, they also mocked Chao Yonglai, and a few people deliberately took away their shields and let Chao Yong shoot at them.

It is the ignorant who are fearless.

Chao Yong looked at one of the most rampant officers and soldiers, and let go of his hand suddenly.

A black light streaked across the battlefield.

"Not good"

Xuanzan was more than 200 paces away, and he faintly heard the sound of bowstrings, and he couldn't help but be so frightened that he hurried to the horse's back.

However, they saw that the five officers and men in the front row suddenly flew up, and the officers and men behind ate them, and four or five people fell down immediately.

Everyone looked over and saw that the five officers and soldiers in front of them had all been shot out of a blood hole in their chests, and blood and internal organs were flowing out of the blood hole, and they couldn't live anymore.

When everyone was looking for the arrow, they saw an arrow made of pure iron on the sixth person, half of which had already entered the chest of the sixth person, and the sixth person could not live.

Xuanzan saw that it was actually an arrow made of pure iron, and it was no wonder that it could pierce five people with one arrow, and also shot the sixth person to death, if it was an ordinary arrow, I am afraid it would have broken long ago.

The surrounding soldiers saw that there were six of their comrades who died under the arrow, and they couldn't help but scratch in fright.

Xuanzan hurriedly shouted: "Those who retreat from the battle will be killed, and the soldiers in the front row will raise their shields." ”

The chaotic soldiers saw that there was no way out, so they could only raise the shield in front of the formation, hoping that the shield could block the iron arrow.

Hua Rong was also dumbfounded when he saw the power of Chao Yong's arrow.

After Chao Yong saw the small confusion of the officers and soldiers, he raised his shield again to complete the formation, and also wanted to see the power of the divine arm bow to break the shield. He took out an iron arrow again, opened the full moon with his bow, and shot it with one arrow.

As soon as the bowstring sounded, there was a burst of screams and exclamations.

I saw that the first person with the shield led the people to fly backwards, and several people fell behind, and the neat formation opened a gap again.

Chao Yong didn't know how many people he shot and killed, but it could be roughly seen that the iron arrow still penetrated a few more people.

The officers and soldiers looked at the six people who fell to the ground, only two got up, and the remaining four had all died, and they couldn't help but scratch again.

Chao Yong saw the opportunity, took out the third arrow, shot it at the other shieldman, and then shot a series of arrows, and more than ten arrows were shot in an instant, and dozens of people fell under Chao Yong's arrow.

The officers and soldiers saw the direction of Chao Yong's bow and arrow, and all the comrades were killed by the arrows, and who dared to stand there waiting for death, they all turned around and fled.

Seeing this, Xuanzan hurriedly cut down a sergeant who had fled under his horse and shouted, "Those who retreat from the battle will not be killed." ”

However, the soldiers had already been frightened by the power of Chao Yong's divine arm bow, and no one was willing to stand there and use their bodies to block the terrible iron arrows, so they bypassed Xuanzan and fled backwards one by one.
