Chapter XXVII

came to the test firing site, handed over this crossbow to Yue Feng, and asked him to conduct the test firing.

Looking at the crossbow in his hand, Yue Feng didn't know how to express his thoughts.

In his opinion, this is just one more handle than a bow.

It's just that he thinks it's redundant, but he thinks it's still a burden.

Because of the addition of this handle, the bow that was originally held vertically must now be held horizontally, which makes him very unaccustomed to it.

Looking at the handle again, in the middle position, there is a straight depression, in the words of He Harmonic, this is the trajectory.

That is, the place where the arrows are placed, and it should be more appropriate to say that it is the way of the arrow.

However, Yue Feng thought that this was also redundant, it was the same with him or not, and he was not floating, and he couldn't hold the arrow steadily.

Seeing Yue Feng's disapproving expression, He Hum smiled and said, "You try to pull the strings first." ”

"Yes." Yue Feng answered, stretching out his hand to pull the string.

I don't know if I don't pull it, and I'm scared when I pull it.

Is this really a bow?

At first, Yue Feng didn't think so, and didn't exert too much strength, but his strength was too small, and he couldn't even pull it, and in the end he had to take it seriously.

When he pulled the string full and pulled the trigger, he had to admit that this seemingly inconspicuous new weapon, which was smaller than a bow, did have its own uniqueness.

At least from the fact that the strings are drawn.

The heavier the string, the more powerful the bow, and the same is true for the crossbow.

Yue Feng estimated in his heart that this new weapon was at least comparable to the four-stone big bow.

The number of stones represents the power of the bow, and the weight of one stone is thirty kilograms.

In other words, the four-stone bow requires more than two hundred catties of strength to pull it apart.

"How? Are you still satisfied with this crossbow? He Hui asked.

"Satisfied!" Yue Feng said: "The strength is indeed enough!" But it may not be easy for ordinary soldiers to pull away, and not everyone has such a strong arm. ”

Acknowledging the strength of the crossbow, Yue Feng continued: "And because there are too many strings and heavy strings, it is easy to hurt your fingers if you are a little careless when pulling the strings, which is also a problem. ”

He Hui nodded, what Yue Feng said was indeed reasonable.

The problem of arm strength can be practiced slowly, anyway, the cultivation method has already been passed down.

As long as those soldiers are not lazy and practice until the internal qi travels through the meridians of the whole body, they still have the strength to pull the strings.

As for the problem of hurting his fingers, He Hui plans to make wrenches in large quantities to avoid it.

In fact, sometimes it is not that the arm strength is insufficient to pull the string, but because the string is too heavy, the finger pain is unbearable, and it cannot be pulled apart because it cannot be held.

But with a wrench to protect your fingers, you can avoid pain and pull the string with all your might.

I believe that with the people of this world, a mere 200 catties of crossbow strings can still be opened.

After all, internal qi is no joke about the increase in physical fitness.

"You shoot first!" He said hocly.

He was now eager to see how powerful the crossbow he had developed was.

Yue Feng had already shown the weight of the string just now, and the power would not be too small, and it would definitely be greater than the bow.

The Divine Arm Crossbow can shoot straight more than 370 meters and enter the elm halfway, so how many meters can this imitation of his own shoot out?

He couldn't wait.

"Yes!" Yue Feng answered, raising his crossbow and aiming ahead.

The crossbow is equipped with a sight, although it is also a straight line, not as good as the magnifying sight in the previous life, but this is the era of cold weapons after all.

When aiming, Yue Feng also discovered another wonderful thing about the crossbow, that is, aiming.

If it is a bow of the same power, if you want to aim, you must keep pulling the bow until you have completely aimed at the target.

This is a great test of arm strength, it is difficult to pull a bow of more than 200 catties, and it must be pulled continuously, how difficult it is to imagine.

And now this crossbow can be buckled as long as the string is fully pulled, and there is no need to hold it with great effort.

You can aim as much as you want, and the arrows can follow the enemy wherever he runs, without any effort at all.

This is indeed a great benefit, greatly improving the accuracy of the arrows.

Aiming at a target a hundred meters away, Yue Feng pulled the trigger.

I heard only an angry sound, buzzing, and its sound resounding in my ears.

As if howling in anger, the arrow flew out in response, and under the rapid fire, it directly sank into the target.

All the arrows shot into the target, and Yue Feng, who was watching, was taken aback.

You must know that the arrows are also improved by He Harmony, and the arrows are directly two feet long, which is half as long as the arrows in this world!

He couldn't help but say: "This kind of weapon is a sharp weapon, with such power, I'm afraid it can penetrate within fifty meters!" ”

"Only fifty meters?" He Hui said that he was very sorry, and he wanted more power.

Crossbow arrows can pierce armor, He Hui still knows, after all, so many powerful crossbow arrows in ancient times in the previous life are not a joke.

Even if it is a heavy armor, in front of a real strong crossbow, as long as the distance is enough, it is easy to penetrate.

Even some arrows are more insidious, and after shooting in, they directly hook the muscles and muscles, and pull them out to absolutely open the flesh.

Even if he is saved, he will end up crippled.

In ancient times, there were many cases of being killed directly by a crossbow arrow.

Even abroad, it is the same, armored knights face strong crossbows, and those metal armors are also worn by saying that they are worn.

Charlie the Lionheart of Europe died of serious injuries because he was hit by a crossbow arrow.

It can be seen that the power of the crossbow is not only reflected in ancient China, as long as it is in the era of cold weapons, which country it gets, it is an absolute, first-class weapon.

Seeing that He Huan was still dissatisfied with such power, Yue Feng didn't know how to express his feelings.

You can wear armor within fifty meters, but you still don't think it's powerful enough?

Do you want to pierce armor from a distance of 100 meters?

If that's the case, then do you want to fight?

Shoot a wave of crossbow arrows directly, and all the opposite row will fall to the ground, which is completely crushed!

This battle really can't be fought.

"Let's do it first." He Huan shook his head helplessly, and said: "Compared with bows, the production of crossbows is more complicated, you first select a hundred soldiers to form a crossbow team, and I will urge the arsenal to make enough crossbows as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" Yue Feng took the order.

"I will continue to order people to develop more powerful crossbows, which is really not ideal now." He Harmony said again.

Hearing this, Yue Feng really wanted to say something, the power is already great enough, where do you want to be bigger.

This is already the most powerful weapon that Yue Feng has ever seen, and the only standard weapon that can be popularized in the army

More powerful weapons are not out of nowhere, such as the ten-stone strong bow, which has absolutely no problem penetrating armor.

It's just that it's a ten-stone strong bow, and it takes 600 catties of strength to draw a full bow, which is not something that anyone can use.

Even if it was Yue Feng himself, he didn't dare to guarantee that his current self could pull casually.

And you have to aim when it's full, and it's not a joke to keep exerting force, don't wait for the arrow to shoot out, you'll be exhausted, this is a joke.

This kind of strong bow is not nothing, but there is no doubt that it cannot become a standard weapon, and the popular type is not strong.

It can only be used by top-level generals, and a single arrow, no matter how powerful it is, cannot compare to the lethality of a rain of arrows.

Moreover, the manufacturing technology in this world is limited, composite materials have not been developed, and all single materials are used.

It is impossible to make a ten-stone strong bow from a single wooden material, so the main material is metal.

The ten-stone strong bow made of metal, not to mention the full draw, but the weight of the bow itself is definitely not light.

Who has nothing to fight and still carry such a heavy bow?

Isn't this full and holding on?
