~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In Hange Village, Meng Yuan and Pony followed behind a Hange cavalry guard, and came to a white felt tent, and the cavalry guard stepped forward to report: "Ministry commander, people have brought it." ”

The curtain was lifted, revealing a thin face, but it was the horse servant Asu, who nodded to the three of them: "The commander commanded, come in when you arrive." ”

At the head of the tent sat a man with a large bow in his hand, and it was none other than a horseman. Kneeling behind the short desk beside him sat a bright girl with bright eyes and bright teeth, holding a pen and ink, sketching something on a roll of nitrated sheepskin. Well, it's Ma Han's personal maid Nian Slave.

On that day, the man-bear battle under the Xiaozhi Mountain, Mengyuan and the pony were far away, and the crowd was surging, and the horses were running wildly, so I couldn't see it very clearly. At this time, I saw the god-like hero in my heart at close range, and I couldn't help kneeling on the thick felt, and said in a trembling voice: "Little slave Mengyuan (Ma Jun), meet the department marshal, thank the department commander for his life, and repay him with broken bones." ”

Ma Han waved his hand: "You don't need to call yourself a little slave, from the moment the Han people enter the gate of Hange Village, the slave status will be automatically lifted." We also have slaves in the Hango tribe, but they will never be Hannu. Meng Yuan, I heard that you fled to find your wife and children, and there are many rescued women and children in the Hango Ministry, have you found your wife? ”

"Many of the commanders are worried." Meng Yuan's expression was gloomy, "It's a pity that I didn't find ......"

"It's okay, and relax, I will continue to put pressure on the Xianbei people and Karasuma people to pursue the Han slaves they have taken captive. As long as your wife is alive, one day, she will come back to you. ”

"Thank you...... The commander ...... "Meng Yuan's lips trembled, and he didn't know what to say to express his gratitude.

Ma Han appeased him, and then introduced the topic: "I heard that you are a bow maker?" ”

"Yes, little slave...... The villain was originally a bow maker under the supervision of the capital general, and in the first year of Zhongping, he returned to his hometown with his wife to worship his ancestors, and when he arrived in Yuyang, he was captured by the Karasuma people and separated from his wife...... "Meng Yuan said, his voice lowered.

Nian Nu listened to it on the side, and his eyes were red.

The atmosphere in the tent was a little depressing, and Ma Han had to pull the topic back again, and handed the leopard bow in his hand (the infrared sight has been removed) to Meng Yuan: "What do you think of my bow?" What else could be improved? ”

Meng Yuan took it respectfully, and as soon as he took the bow, his humble expression immediately changed, as if he had changed into a person in an instant, focused and confident. Ma Han looked at it and nodded secretly, such a person, even if he is not a master, can be regarded as an excellent craftsman.

At this time, Meng Yuan had already auditioned the strings, inspected the bow arm and tried to stretch the strings, respectfully presented the horse, and said: "This bow is handsome, the wood is excellent, the glue paint is good, the elasticity is excellent, and the bow is strong, it is really a good step bow." ”

Ma Han didn't take the bow, but stared at him: "Do you think there is anything else that can be improved?" ”

Meng Yuan held the bow and said blankly: "This bow is very perfect, it is the bow used in the arsenal of the capital, and it is nothing more than that." ”

Ma Han finally put his mind at ease, the reason why he asked this was because he found that whether it was the Youzhou Army, the Jizhou Army, or the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people, the bows used were all missing an auxiliary device. I don't know if it was not invented in this era, or because the northerners and Hunu's bows and arrows were simple and imperfect. Meng Yuan was once the craftsman who would be the supervisor of the Han court, and that was the most vocal, he said no, that is, no. It seems that he can regain a slight advantage in terms of weapons.

Ma Han stepped forward, pointed to the junction between the bow tips and the bowstring on both sides, and said, "If two leather pads are added here to eliminate the rebound force of the bowstring after the arrow is fired, will it make the arrow shoot more accurately?" ”

When Meng Yuan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately said happily: "That's right! The faster the bowstring rests, the faster and more precise the next arrow will be! ”

Under normal circumstances, the bowstring must tremble sharply with each arrow, and it must be stroked with the palm fingers to bring it back to rest, so that the next shot will have a high chance of hitting. It's just that on the battlefield where every second counts, especially when the two sides are fighting against each other, if you slow down, you will lose the first move, and life and death will be decided. In this way, it is very meaningful to install a bow pad and strive for the first opportunity.

The bow pad is one of the symbols of the clear bow, and the clear bow is a kind of bow with relatively strong power in modern times. However, he called Meng Yuan here, not for something as trivial as installing a bow pad, but-

Ma Han made a gesture to Nian Nu with his head on the side, Nian Nu picked up the sheepskin on the case, and Wan Tingting walked over and handed it to Meng Yuan. Meng Yuan took it in confusion, his expression became more and more surprised, and the pony on the side also poked his head out, and the expression on his face was also surprised.

Ma Han didn't know who the pony was, he only thought he was Meng Yuan's apprentice, otherwise he wouldn't have called him together, and naturally he wouldn't have stopped him from looking at the new crossbow he had drawn.

That's right, what Ma Han painted was a copy of the powerful crossbow he used when he was in the Guatemalan jungle, a weapon he was very familiar with, and he could draw it with his eyes closed. Regardless of whether the level of craftsmanship in this era can be made or not, you have to try. The reason why Ma Han thought of making a new weapon was mainly because of the battle of Xiaozhi Mountain, which had a great impact on him.

In the original battle with the Karasuma people, in the face of the Karasuma people, who were also good at riding and archery, the poorly trained "Mangu Gang Battle Method" did not reflect the power it should have. Mangu's tactics are mainly against infantry and heavy cavalry, and it is not easy to use against light cavalry, especially archers. If you have to deal with the archers, you need to solve two key problems: the range of the bow and arrow, and the speed of the horse.

The speed of the horse is easy to solve, choose a good war horse, and strike first when fighting - that is, run first, as long as the distance is widened, unless the enemy's war horse is a cut higher as a whole, it will be difficult to catch up. But the range of bows and arrows is a problem, and Tang Nu, Wu Chai and others have proposed a stupid way to gather strong archers in the tribe who can pull more than two stones, and form a special team. But how can Ershi's riding bow be so easy to pull? Even they themselves are only barely using, and those big heavy cavalry can do it, but they can't hit one out of ten shots, and it's in vain to have no strength and no accurate head.

can not only open a strong bow, but also be a marksman, such a high-quality soldier, even if it is the Mobei grassland, which is rich in string control, it is one in a hundred. With the current population base of the Hange Division, how many such mounted archers can be collected? Is there a team? Obviously, such elite tactics will not work in terms of the current situation of the Hange Division.

Since manpower can't solve it, then use the power of machinery, which is the thinking that every modern person has.

The bow can't solve the problem, only the crossbow. The crossbow of the two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era also has a very good range, for example, the waist crossbow used by the first deceased soldier commanded by Liyi is the famous rhubarb crossbow of the Han Dynasty, which Li Guang once used to shoot into stones. However, the range of this crossbow is far enough, but it is too heavy and too big, and the last string is also cumbersome, and you have to use the strength of milk, and you can't use it at all immediately. There is only one type of crossbow that can be used immediately, and that is the Qingzhang crossbow.

The Qingzhang crossbow, that is, the crossbow that is simply opened by arm strength, is the one with the closest range among the crossbows, and it is even inferior to the two-stone bow, but the accurate head is better than the bow, and it can be used immediately. The disadvantage is that the rate of fire is too slow, and if you shoot at a bow and arrow, you will be completely suppressed. In this way, it doesn't work.

The only solution to the problem was to use a new type of riding crossbow with modern elements.

There are two technical breakthroughs in the new type of riding crossbow drawn by Ma Han: one is the bowstring. If the bowstring is short, the crossbow arm tension is insufficient, the charging force is weak, and the range is not far; If the bowstring is long, the crossbow arm is too long to be used on a horse. This is a contradiction, a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile. The solution to the problem is to use polystrings. The so-called compound string is to add two or three more fulcrums to the crossbow handle, and then cross the crossbow strings (like the lace stringing method of sneakers), so that the strong tension generated by the long and tough crossbow strings is confined to a very small area. In this way, it can be mounted on a short and lightweight crossbow, which solves the problem of immediate use.

The next question is the pull, that is, how to pull apart? This kind of double-stringed crossbow is actually equivalent to transferring the pull of the tensioning crossbow to the Qingzhang crossbow, and using the hand to pull the crossbow that must be pedaled to open, how can it be pulled?

The solution to the problem is the pulley rod. Most modern bows are pulley bows, which are very labor-saving, and teenagers can shoot nearly 100 pounds of bows. Not because of the force, but because of the effort saving. So Ma Han didn't put much thought into it at all, and directly came up with this labor-saving plan. On each side of the crossbow handle, two or three metal gears are used to form a pulley set, and the lever plate is wound. The powerful pull force that must be used with the pedals is turned into an easy manual winding.

Compound strings, tie rods, gears, pulley sets...... All kinds of eye-catching and brain-opening new things make Mengyuan and Xiaoma's eyes shine. Meng Yuan is because he is a bow maker by his profession, and it is natural for him to be excited when he sees these new weapons that are enough to change the form of battle, so why did the pony's eyes shine?

Or Ma Han's words woke up the two: "How? Can it be made? ”

"Yes!" Meng Yuan subconsciously responded, this kind of never-before-seen strong crossbow, if he doesn't give it a try, I'm afraid that he won't sleep well, "It's just that the villain is illiterate, and the explanation above ......"

These text descriptions were dictated by Ma Han and written by Nian Nu, but I didn't expect Meng Yuan to know it, and Nian Nu was blind and showed off Xiao Li.

At this moment, the pony said, "I know how to read, I, can, read to, Uncle Meng...... Uncle Meng listened, and ......"

Ma Han frowned, this kid is actually a stammer, listening to the stutterer speak, it is actually quite uncomfortable, but Ma Han still pinched his nose and listened: "You say." ”

Pony was encouraged, his face flushed, and his stutter became worse: "And, and, I, I think, also, okay, improve, improve, repeat, repeat......fire"

Ma Han looked at the pony with some surprise and said approvingly: "Yes, there is an idea, it is indeed possible to add an arrow box and transform it into a repeater." However, this affects the range, and it is significant. What I need most at the moment is range, not rate of fire, so ...... Of course, you can think about it and try to unify the two, taking into account both the range and the rate of fire, which is very good. If there is a new breakthrough, I will not hesitate to reward it. ”

"Hmm!" Before Meng Yuan could say anything, the pony nodded heavily, and Mu Ne's face exuded a look called "firm", and his eyes were burning.

Ma Han couldn't help but be a little surprised, and blurted out, "What's your name?" ”

"Ma Jun."

Ma Han thought about it and didn't have any impression of the name. What he didn't know was that if there was really one person in the Three Kingdoms era who could improve the repeater, it would be this Jun - Ma Jun.

Outside the tent, the voice of the guards came to report: "Report to the commander of the department, Tian is engaged in asking to see." ”

Ma Han waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go down, do it well, you can ask me for lack of people, money and things, don't think about the fee, I just need you to come up with qualified goods." In addition, please pay attention to confidentiality and do not let unrelated people see this picture. ”

Meng Yuan and Ma Jun obeyed the order, then carefully rolled up the sheepskin, bowed down, and walked out of the tent.

Ma Han beckoned to Asu, who was standing at the tent, and when Asu approached, he whispered: "In the future, your most important task is to keep an eye on them, just do things well, and if there is anything wrong, report it to me immediately." ”

Aso nodded heavily and took the order.

After a while, the curtain was lifted, and Tian Yu entered with a bronze medal like an arrow, and showed Ma Han: "Brother Shocking Dragon, do you know what this thing is?" ”

Ma Han took the bronze medal in his hand and looked at it over and over again for a long time, except for the strange patterns engraved in a circle, there was not a word, and he didn't have a place to start.

Tian Yu didn't embarrass him anymore, and smiled to solve the puzzle: "This is the Xianbei Lord Kebineng, please ask the Yan brothers to transfer the party card to the ministry marshal, which is equivalent to the invitation of my dynasty, Kebineng is to invite the ministry marshal to participate in the Xianbei people's conference." ”

Ma Han was stunned: "The conference? What convention? ”

Tian Yu smiled slightly: "Xianbei people's 'August Forest Conference'. ”
