Chapter 16: The Crossbow

PS: Everyone! It's almost over the previous one! As long as it exceeds, Mu Mu is also ruthless to himself, today and tomorrow's four watches! Everybody! Now it's up to you to support you!

…………

Yang Zilu explained: "I often hunt in autumn at home, and I also leave a little bit of craftsmanship! Besides, there are only so many students in teaching, and I worked with Mr. Zhao to divide these students equally, isn't it that everyone is just barely trying to get enough food and clothing, rather than this, it is better to go to the mountains to hunt! "Besides, I don't necessarily have to compete for Mr. Zhao.

When Zong Bi heard this, he sighed: "The son is benevolent! In that case, I'll go to the city to report to my son! ”

"That's hard work village chief!" Yang Zilu said politely, stood up, and prepared to send him off.

"It's a matter of internal affairs, please stay with the son!" Zong Bi hugged Yang Zilu and said politely.

Although Zong Bi had already said to stay, Yang Zilu still sent Zong Pi to the courtyard. Although he now holds a title of nobility, this thing is not reliable. Isn't there a saying: 'The county magistrate is better than the current management.'" ’

Back in the house, Zheng Datian patted Yang Zilu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Childe, the village chief is actually not driving Sone away, nor is he forcing Sone to pay taxes. It's really now...... Ay! ”

"Understood! Uncle Zheng, don't worry, I understand these things! Yang Zilu said with a smile, whether he understands or not, if he wants to survive in this land, he has to follow the rules of this land. Unless he can change the rules of the land.

In the morning, Yang Zilu did not stay at home and slept in the air, and the words of the village chief Zong Bi made him feel a sense of oppression for the current survival. Not long after Zong Pi left, Yang Zilu went up the mountain with Zheng Datian, cut down a fir tree, and collected a large bag of soaphorn and medicinal herbs. Originally, Yang Zilu was going to make original laundry detergent to make money, but Zheng Dan sold the news out aggressively, and everyone in Huanshaxi knew to wash clothes with crushed soaphorns. Yang Zilu took a bath with mint and soaphorn again, and was also exposed within two days. Let Yang Zilu sigh that the ancients were really 'unscrupulous' and did not have the morality of 'protecting patents'.

When making soap, Yang Zilu did not forget to make crossbows, and at the same time, he had to take into account the injuries of the savage black bear and the little fox. Originally, because there was a surplus of linen, Yang Zilu asked Zheng Dan to help Xiaohu make a set of clothes. However, it was exchanged for a cold snort from Zheng Dan.

Yang Zilu was helpless, Xiaohu didn't have underwear or anything like that, only an animal skin shirt and an animal skin skirt. Yang Zilu has seen the fleeting spring once or twice for a while. For a virgin, it is more than a beast. No, it's not as good as beasts. This kind of torment prompted Yang Zilu to sew even if he had to sew it himself, but he could only press on his scalp.

But I have to say that this era is really fucking depressing, the sewing is sewn with a bone needle, and as long as Yang Zilu's finger is pricked, it must be a big wound. In the end, Yiguang found that Yang Zilu had several wounds on his fingers and helped sew them. Otherwise, Yang Zilu's ten fingers are crippled, and he may not be able to sew a piece of clothing out.

At this time, the Orion Yu Yu, who regarded Yang Zilu as a master, also came over to help Yang Zilu make bowstrings, and Zheng Datian had forgotten to buy bowstrings. When the emperor found out, he immediately contributed three bowstrings for free.

Three days later, Yang Zilu stepped on the self-made crossbow sleeve with his left foot, and with both hands, he slowly pulled the bowstring to the trigger.

"Whew!" Yang Zilu let out a long breath and shook his somewhat sour hand. frowned, and muttered: "It's really troublesome to put on the bowstring here, two or three times, it is estimated that there will be no strength!" ”

Yu Xiao looked at Yang Zilu with a shocked face and said, "Master, you are really amazing!" These three bowstrings are twisted together, and they are all pulled away for you! ”

"Stop talking nonsense, bring a crossbow arrow!" Yang Zilu pursed his lips, although he didn't think of him as an apprentice for Yu Yu, he had no choice but to look like he couldn't be defeated. Within a few days, whether Yang Zilu agreed or not, he called Yang Zilu as a master, Yang Zilu asked him to change his words, and promised in front of Yang Zilu that he agreed, but in a blink of an eye, he called the master again, and Yang Zilu finally had no choice but to acquiesce.

The crossbow bolt was quickly brought over, although Yang Zilu had never made a crossbow. But fortunately, he didn't just run into the mountains for a distraction. I also go to playgrounds, museums and the like. Yang Zilu had to be glad that before he came here, he had visited a museum in Zhongshan City. Inside is a place where ancient Chinese weapons are introduced. Among the crossbows, the more outstanding rhubarb crossbows, the kicking crossbows, and the Chinese even crossbows are all available. Design drawings are also included, and there are some half-finished products for reference.

It is precisely because of an excursion just before boarding the plane that Yang Zilu has not forgotten too many details. Of course, there is also the reason why the crossbow is not complicated. Crossbow bolts are also special, and are different from arrows. It's a lot shorter than an arrow. Because bronze is too expensive, even the Imperial Eagles are only made of the teeth and bones of wild beasts, and there are only three or four bronze arrowheads. Yang Zilusuo's surname came to an all-wooden.

Putting the crossbow bolt into the arrow trough, Yang Zilu thought about it, picked up a wooden stick from the kitchen that had not been completely burned, ran to the earthen wall at the other end of the courtyard and drew three circles one by one. Yang Zilu retreated thirty steps away (one step is equal to one meter sixty-four), and they had already retreated to the road outside the Zheng family.

Yang Zilu asked the imperial guard to intercept passers-by, and the ancient crossbow had a sight to look at the mountain, and Yang Zilu also made one. However, the accuracy is questionable, and this needs to be constantly adjusted. Yang Zilu made one according to her own feelings.

"Whoosh!" With a bang, the afterimage of the crossbow bolt disappeared in a blink of an eye, and when I looked up, the crossbow bolt had already shot into the wall. The tail of the arrow exposed was like grass in the breeze, trembling slightly.

When he saw this, he couldn't help but shout excitedly, ran quickly to the wall, widened his eyes, and exclaimed, "Master! Two inches and three points into the wall! It's almost three inches! ”

He couldn't help but exclaim, the effective range of the hunting bows in the village was generally thirty paces away. But this is only effective for small animals such as rabbits. If it's an earthen wall, most of it will only shoot an inch into it. If you want to achieve Yang Zilu's achievement, it is impossible at all, and you have to use bronze arrows.

"Master, what is the name of this one you made! It's too much at stake! It is estimated that there is a range of forty paces! Yu Yu said excitedly.

Yang Zilu was surprised: "Huh? You don't know! This is called a crossbow, and because it is too powerful, it is almost the same as the word rage! ”

Note: Although the crossbow is said to have been made by the Yellow Emperor, the earliest record appears in the examination record. The examination record was compiled in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States period. It is estimated that the crossbow appeared in the middle of the Spring and Autumn period, or even the late Spring and Autumn period. However, the Yue State has Wu State to block, and the crossbow is an important weapon on the battlefield, so it is not surprising that it has not been transmitted to the Yue State.
