"You're going to teach me how to shoot?"

After more than half a month of training, the 27,000 recruits have initially taken on the appearance of a soldier, they can distinguish between the left and right, they can stand relatively neatly in the queue, and they strictly observe discipline in every word and deed.

Then Cao Xueyang came to Xiao to get sick, saying that he wanted Yuan Tiance to be the commander, and now Li Chengen, who has been transferred to be in charge of Jin Wuwei, asked her to teach her Tiance marksmanship.

"Commander, let me tell you, our Tiance marksmanship is unparalleled in the world, very powerful...... Don't think that you are very powerful if you are a 10,000-strong enemy, if General Wang is still there, and the two of you hedge, it is very likely that you will be picked off the horse in one round......"

He heard Li Sheng talk about Wang Zhonghe's achievements and martial bravery, and he was also very curious and admired how the body of an ordinary person like him managed to crash into the military formation of tens of thousands of people alone, or kill thousands of enemies, or kill more than 800 enemies, and then come out of the formation.

However, saying that he might be picked off in one round, Xiao Quzhi was still a little unconvinced. Eldest sister, don't you know that I am almost invincible in the world, how could I be picked off by Wang Zhongsi in one round?

Xiao Quzhi said with interest: "Okay, since Tiance marksmanship is so powerful, of course I have to learn it, the question is whether I want to call you master, I have to say it first!" ”

Cao Xueyang and Qin Yiyan glanced at each other and said, "You are the commander of the Tiance Mansion, naturally no one can be your master." However, if you want to learn my Tiance marksmanship, there are eight words that you must always keep in mind and never forget! ”

Xiao Quzhi said curiously: "Which eight words?" ”

"Master, Master, Mr. Zhuge asked you to come over. A new type of crossbow riding has been made! Cao Xueyang was about to speak. I saw Li Qi riding a horse, and a gust of wind seemed to run over. Running and shouting, the excitement is abnormal.

"Great! General Qin, General Cao, let's talk about teaching marksmanship later, let's go and have a look. Xiao Quai's illness didn't care to be curious about how powerful Tiance's marksmanship was at this time, and the new type of crossbow was undoubtedly much more important to his group.

The four of them quickly rode to the engineering bureau in the northwest of Tiance Mansion, next to Qingqi Ranch. This is a forbidden place in Tiance Mansion, with hundreds of soldiers and guards on duty every day. Heavily guarded.

After showing the warrant and checking the password, the four of them entered the Engineering Bureau and saw Zhuge Ying and Li Xiu with an excited face, and in the hands of the two of them, one of them was holding a strangely shaped riding crossbow, his face was full of haggard and tired, and at the same time he couldn't hide the excitement and pride.

"Brother Yanzhang and Brother Zihua, the two of you have worked hard, this is the new type of crossbow you just developed? Show me. Xiao Quai's illness took the crossbow. Take a closer look.

The two men were designed with a ratchet and a telehandle, just behind the right side of the crossbow arm. It is equipped with a one-way swinging ratchet remote handle, which is very similar in shape and principle to a later fishing rod, but it is more complicated, in addition to a ratchet, there are three gears of different sizes connected to each other.

Li Xiu said excitedly: "Auxiliary minister, you see, when a soldier is on a horse, he no longer needs to use a crossbow to wind, and through the remote handle on the right, he can easily hang the bowstring, saving sixteen times more effort!" ”

Zhuge Ying also said: "That's right, with such a crossbow machine, our soldiers can complete the winding within three breaths, and the crossbowmen will no longer have the strength to shoot twenty or thirty arrows, and can almost always fire!" ”

"What is the bow force? How far can you shoot? ”

"The bow power is three stones and five buckets, it can cause damage to leather armor targets within two hundred steps, it can break armor within one hundred and fifty steps, and it can break double layers of heavy armor within one hundred steps!"

When the group came to the shooting range for the test, Xiao Quzhi pulled the trigger of the tooth hair, and a crossbow arrow flew out with a thud, and an arrow shot through the two layers of heavy armor worn by the wooden dummy and nailed it to the wood.

Xiao Qu didn't have time to look at it anymore, so he hurriedly shook the remote handle to complete the winding, loaded the crossbow arrow, aimed a little and fired again, and asked Li Qi: "How many seconds did it take?" ”

Li Qi stared at the watch that Xiao Qu gave him, and said, "The second hand has gone eight to nine times, less than nine seconds." ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded, saying that he was satisfied with this result, and then thought that it didn't take much time to wind up, taking the crossbow arrows, loading the crossbow arrows used up a small half of the time, if you can design an arrow magazine, automatically installing the crossbow arrows can save a small half of the time.

Then I thought that if we want to realize this idea, the key to a good design of automatic mechanism is to have a spring, which cannot be produced yet. However, it would be a good idea to tell the two of them about the idea and let them design it first.

On the other side, Qin Yiyan and Cao Xueyang also shot two or three arrows, and they were so excited that they almost shouted, with such a divine weapon, the Tiance light cavalry could really be invincible in the world.

First shoot far, the Tiance army has been fighting for many years, with a gun in close combat, a bow in long-distance combat, and can be called a marksman if you can pull a three-stone hard bow, before this, the three thousand Tiance army, can reach this standard is less than two hundred, most of them are at the level of one stone five buckets to one stone eight buckets on the horse, and now there is such a crossbow, but everyone is more than the existence of a marksman, and you can strike first on the battlefield;

The second is that it will not be tired, and the average marksman will have sore arms when he pulls the three-stone bow twenty times in a short time, and then the slower the shooting, but now he will not have this problem.

And the infantry can also use it without conserving too much physical strength, anyway, even if you run to the battlefield and are so tired that you almost lie down, you are not afraid that you will not be able to pull the bow without physical strength.

"The two gentlemen are really talented, with this crossbow, my Tiance army should be invincible in the world!" Qin Yiyan's eyes lit up and he said loudly.

"General Qin praised it falsely, this crossbow is mainly the idea of King Lanling, let's help him improve it, how dare you take credit, the real big is the King of Lanling!" Zhuge Yingdao.

Qin Yiyan and Cao Xueyang looked at Xiao Qu's illness with wide eyes in disbelief, and said in their hearts, You are too demonic, not only are you infinitely powerful, you are brave and brave in the three armies, and your ability to make money is still first-class, and now you are even so good at designing ordnance?

Xiao Quai's illness arranged for Li Qi to find a few ordinary cavalrymen and go to Qingqi Ranch to ride horses for experiments, and said a little embarrassed: "It's all the hard work and wisdom of the two gentlemen and all the craftsmen, don't you dare to take credit for going to the disease?" If it weren't for everyone, these things would have always been imaginary, so the credit is still on you. ”

After a pause, Xiao Qu said sickly: "In order to commend the two gentlemen and all the meritorious craftsmen, I have decided to award you 20,000 silver coins, and the two of you will make a list of all the meritorious personnel for me; In addition, for the houses under construction, each meritorious craftsman is rewarded with one set, and the two gentlemen are each rewarded with a small cottage.

The reward is a bit small, and now we don't have much money in Tiance Mansion, and when I come back from going to sea, there will be a reward! ”

Li Xiu and Zhuge Ying don t think anything, the craftsmen who participated in the research and development in the back are broken, this Lanling King is too generous and too bold, doing things for such a person, this

And Qin Yiyan and Cao Xueyang complained in their hearts, they are really local tyrants, 20,000 silver coins, so many houses and villas are still too little, you have money, you don't have to say it on purpose, right?

The results of the test came out quickly, and after the soldiers fired one round on the bumpy horseback, the second shot took an average of eleven seconds, thinking that there was still room for improvement, and everyone was satisfied.

Back to the Engineering Bureau, Xiao Quzhi asked everyone to continue to improve and improve, and told them about the idea of the arrow magazine and the automatic installation of crossbow arrows, and then they came to Qinghu Ranch with Cao Xueyang.

"What are those eight words?" It's time to pass on marksmanship, seeing Qin Yiyan and Cao Xueyang's solemn expressions, Xiao Quzhi asked curiously. (To be continued.) )
