Chapter Errors/Click here to report

At the beginning, everyone tried to draw the bow and shoot arrows with great interest, the power of the horn bow equipped by the southern army of the Ming Dynasty was not too large, and most modern people could pull it away, but because they would not be able to shoot the arrow correctly, the hit rate after the feather arrow was shot out was miserable 0 meters diameter wooden target, placed just meters away, there were few who could hit the target!

Archery is a very advanced skill, and no one here can boast that he can use a bow and arrow to injure an enemy in actual combat. The traversers who felt embarrassed laughed and laughed and played, and then threw it away. However, these horn bows fall in the eyes of those who have a heart, so it is very different Modern people can't use bows, so what about replacing them with crossbows?

You must know that many of the people in this group of traversers are weapon lovers, but limited to the strict gun ban laws of the People's Republic of China, few people dare to engage in black guns as illegally as Wang Ruobin. So many of them threw their enthusiasm into another alternative, which is to play crossbows!

Wen Desi is one of them, as a special moderator of a well-known bow and crossbow website in China, Wen Desi has been playing crossbow for four or five years, and there are several domestic or imported high-end crossbow machines such as Big Black Hawk and Forest Hunter at home, and all kinds of spare parts can be disassembled and assembled with their eyes closed.

After discovering that he had come to the Ming Dynasty, one of the things that Wen Desi regretted the most was not being able to bring a beloved crossbow with him. But these days, even taking the train has to use up to check the luggage, who will bring a crossbow machine when traveling, isn't it unpleasant to find yourself?

Therefore, when Wen Deji saw those horned bows that were thrown by everyone, his eyes immediately glowed green. With a bowstring, that's enough! The rest of the bracket trigger and other accessories, go to the brothers of the mechanical group to do it!

Pulling in a group of brothers who are also interested in the crossbow machine, the most important thing is to get the comrades who opened the machine, and a group of people worked backwards for two or three days, and soon made a strong crossbow similar to the big black eagle in "Crazy Stone".

The main bracket of the crossbow machine floor is made of hardwood. Fastened with steel screws, they found many screws of various models on the ship. After twisting the two bowstrings into one strand, the tension of the crossbow is greatly strengthened, and the range is also increased. This kind of crossbow machine cannot be pulled apart by an ordinary person's arms alone, so the front end of the crossbow is equipped with a foot ring, and the shooter steps on the foot ring, bends down and uses the strength of the waist and legs to wind it.

After testing, the range of the homemade crossbow machine can reach meters at the maximum. But for accurate aiming, it is better to be in the meter range. The meter range can be covered by firing. For this reason, the artillery comrade Ma specially designed a special aiming ruler for the crossbow machine, the principle is to imitate the old rifle on the ground salvo sight, made of hardwood chips, usually fixed on the side of the crossbow machine bracket with screws, when used to rotate and flip, as long as the leading experienced comrades roughly calculate the distance and wind direction and other factors, the more than 10 crossbow machines here can be unified with a height parameter for shooting, a certain area for rough killing.

After the crossbow machine was made, everyone took turns to test fire, because the winding and aiming were divided into two steps, and the ergonomic design was quite good, and the front end had a grip. The tail of the carriage rests on the shoulder, just like the rifle. In order to maintain a steady shooting posture, so that everyone's hit rate is much higher. As long as it is not highly myopia, the landing point of the crossbow arrow within a meter range can basically be controlled on a target with a diameter of 0 meters.

This kind of accuracy is enough to shoot at the human body, which means that their homemade crossbows are already capable of actual combat. As a result, after passing various tests, the crossbow machine began to be mass-produced as a supplementary replacement for muskets.

The bow was heavily equipped in the Ming Dynasty army, and it was not a controlled weapon, and the people of Hainan were fierce. Even the average Orion often has a bow or two in his house. Therefore, it is easy for the traversers to collect raw materials.

They first looted the arsenal of Lingao County, which was also a hundred households before. There are still some stocks in the arsenal. After a thorough inspection, after deducting the rust and rotten ground, a total of more than 20 bow backs and more than 50 processed bowstrings were found in the warehouse, plus the booty captured in the battle, and some good quality materials were collected from the people, and the arsenal was restarted.

However, this time the protagonist has changed from Wang Ruobin to Xiao Lang, this young man is very skillful to show everyone his machine tool skills, using electric machine tools to make those crossbow machine supporting parts is extremely efficient, as long as someone designs the first set of models, Xiao Lang can use hardwood blocks to process exactly the same accessories.

By the time they got the news a few days ago that the war was about to begin, the traversers had nearly seventy of their powerful crossbows. With the addition of the original sixty or so muskets, it was finally possible to arm all the personnel.

Recently, the comrades who received the crossbow machine are busy practicing shooting, although other accessories have been unified during manufacturing, but after all, the bow back and bowstring as the core are collected separately, which leads to the tension of each crossbow is not the same. Tang Jian asked everyone to practice more if they had nothing to do, and try their best to get used to the crossbow machine assigned to them, or find the "feel".

Compared to musket bullets, crossbow arrows are much easier to make: the right-sized pieces of hardwood are fed into the entrance of the electric bed in batches, and the smooth wooden poles of the same length and diameter are pulled out, and even the center of gravity is about the same. Then go and mount the cast iron arrowhead. Huang Jiancheng's iron-making blast furnace has developed to the second generation, and hundreds of arrows can be made at a time when cast with molten iron, and it is very sharp with an electric grinding wheel to polish it a little, and it is convenient to have electricity.

The arrowhead was deliberately cast into a triangular shape, and the triangular wound formed after shooting was extremely difficult to bandage. If it weren't for the fact that the sand mold couldn't make too complicated styles, Huang Jiancheng even wanted to open a blood groove on the arrow, and the power would have been multiplied. Under the intensive practice, the shortcomings of this crossbow machine also began to be exposed: every time you shoot, you have to bend down and pull the string hard, once or twice is fine, but after more than ten consecutive shots, most people can't even bend their waists.

"Work the psoas muscles!" It soon became the most popular slogan in the group, and everyone was asked to do at least one sit-up before going to bed, even those who were scheduled to carry a musket, as they might need to help with winding it up when the time came.

Another disadvantage of the crossbow is that the rate of fire is too slow, even the most skilled crossbowman will take nearly a second to wind, considering that the most powerful distance of the crossbow machine is only a few meters, if you really want to meet the enemy face to face, there is only a chance to shoot three or four rounds at most, and the opponent will rush in front of you.

Therefore, in the plan of the staff group, the crossbow team was not actually suitable for field warfare. The place where these crossbows can really exert their maximum power should be on the surface of the sea, as a long-range strike force attached to the Qionghai. The main means of attack of the Qionghai was to install a roll of cloth wrapped in napalm or soaked in other grease on the arrowhead of the crossbow, ignite it, and use the crossbow to throw it onto the enemy's wooden boat.

Standing on the ship, you don't have to worry about being rushed by the enemy, and you can rack up the crossbow and fire it, which is better than a musket. In the previous military meeting, everyone was very sure that the Qionghai could be one-to-fifteen, because they had such a weapon for long-range attack.

After the long-range weapons were fully equipped, the weapon team also produced a batch of close-range combat weapons for everyone according to their requirements. Equipping melee weapons is just in case, and under normal circumstances, there should be no chance to fight the enemy desperately. Therefore, there is no uniform requirement in this regard.

Everyone's thinking is different. Some people like machetes, some people like spears, and some people love axes and hammers...... Anyway, whatever you like to use, the mechanics of the steel team can make it for you. The second-generation iron-making blast furnace could not make high-strength steel suitable for guns and cannons for the time being, but it was more than enough to make ancient weapons.

There are a few little guys who are obsessed with playing games and want Master Huang Jiancheng to build the same weapons for them as in the game. As a result, Lao Huang was good at talking, and made a "Sword of the Ashkandir Brotherhood" for him according to the pattern drawn by one of the young comrades, but after the sword was cast, the boy couldn't even lift it, wasted a lot of materials in vain, and was ridiculed by everyone for several days.

Most people still chose a more simple design, mainly following the advice of Tang Jian Beiwei and others: the spear is in the form of a three-edged thorn, and the blood groove is opened, and the stab can be fatal. Tall and powerful comrades used axes to cut the blade on one side and make a crane's beak on the other, and chiseled a hole in their armor......

Pang Yu chose a long dagger for himself, he didn't think that he could take advantage of it in close combat with his height of less than one meter seven, and the use of equipping a dagger as a tool was greater. When the armament was complete, the whole team looked like a group of bandits.

The final focus of the equipment is on the armor, there is a batch of cold-rolled steel plates with a thickness of mm in the cargo hold of the Qionghai, which was originally planned to be used for other purposes, but now it has also been transferred out, and the steel plate armor is directly pressed with a hydraulic stamping machine that has just been built on the side of the Wenlan River!
