Volume 1 A Small Mountain Village in the Cracks Chapter 6 Brother Tang, why are you lying on the ground?
Tang Yi, who has always gone to bed early and got up early, couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning all night, which really made him think of a way to make ordinary people pull away the ten-stone heavy bow, but it was feasible or not, but it had to be verified. As soon as he thought of a way, Tang Yi didn't care about the stars of the fourth watch, and ran outside the village by stepping on the moonlight.
He didn't want to run away, but to find Li Laosan.
Li Laosan did not live in the village, but lived in the 'Shenbing Shop' in the mountain behind Lijia Village.
The so-called Divine Soldier Shop is nothing more than a small blacksmith shop. Li Laosan's family is an ancestral blacksmith, but he does not focus on building weapons, and he has never built weapons at all before Li Laosan. It wasn't until Li Laosan took over that he began to build the blade.
Of course, the weapons created by Li Laosan have nothing to do with the so-called divine soldiers, that is, the men of the hunting team use them for hunting. Even if it is sold to the village at a very cheap price, very few people buy it.
Although he hasn't created any magic weapons, Li Laosan still has some good material here.
Of course, it's only limited to these ten miles and eight towns. There are hundreds of catties of fine fine iron in the shop, and more than ten catties of dark iron. These things are not cheap, and in order to buy them, they cost more than 800 taels of silver.
After Tang Yi came to the outside of the blacksmith shop, he kicked the old wooden planks of the blacksmith shop without saying a word, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Li Laosan, the sun is drying your buttocks, get up and work!"
Two days ago, he was knocked out from behind by Li Laosan, and he was unilaterally beaten during the day, Tang Yi still had anger in his heart, so he naturally would not be polite to Li Laosan. He deliberately kicked this door over, and he also deliberately shouted at Li Laosan, intending to disturb his dreams.
Tang Yi was angry to get up, so he felt that Li Laosan should also have it. At this time, he is just a child's temper, and let Li Laosansheng sulk first, and it should be interest.
It's just that Li Lao Sansheng wasn't angry, Tang Yi didn't know, but as soon as he entered the door, he was startled. I saw Li Laosan hiding at the door, holding a dagger in his hand, staring at the door.
He didn't want to think about it, Li Laosan was a martial artist after all, and if he dared to live here, if he didn't have any precautions, he would have been taken by a wild beast a long time ago, where could he still live until now? In fact, Tang Yi hadn't even approached the blacksmith shop, Li Laosan woke up, and when he kicked the door open, Li Laosan was already hiding behind the door with a dagger.
If he hadn't shouted such a voice before entering the door, Li Laosan would have pounced with a dagger and stabbed a transparent hole in him.
Someone kicked the door panel at night, Li Laosan's mood was naturally not too good, "What are you doing here?"
"What am I here for?" Hearing Li Laosan's cold and somewhat impatient voice, Tang Yideng, who was taken aback, was annoyed, "Lao Tzu didn't sleep all night to help you think of ideas, and I finally came up with it, so you have this attitude?"
Tang Yi didn't sleep all night, and Li Laosan was not much better. He was originally short-tempered, two days ago he was angry by Yuhuangao, because the villagers blocked it and couldn't send it out, today I heard the little doctor say, and I feel that I still have to suffer from the anger of Valan Village, where can I still sleep?
If there was no Lijia Village, without these villagers, Li Laosan would dare to hit the Wallan Village and rush into Yuhuang Pass.
Now when he heard that Tang Yi had an idea, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the idea?"
"I was scared by you, I forgot!" Tang Yi turned around and left.
Where would Li Laosan let Tang Yizhen go, so he persuaded Tang Yi for a long time before he let Tang Yi say his idea.
"You said that you can let ordinary people pull out the ten-stone bow? fix it on this kind of shelf, and use a few small wheels like this?" Li Laosan looked at the sketch Tang Yi drew on the ground with some suspicion, but how did this picture look weird, this ...... Is it really possible?
Tang Yi's idea was very simple, change the bow to a crossbow, install several pulley sets on the crossbow arms, and use the pulley sets to reduce the required pulling force, so that ordinary people could also pull away the ten-stone bow.
It's just that although the idea is good, although Tang Yi played with crossbows in his previous life, he didn't build a crossbow either, he just roughly understood the principle, and he had to build it to see if it was feasible. But Tang Yi wouldn't say that to Li Laosan, lest this guy feel like a waste of material and refuse to do it.
Seeing Tang Yi's look of conviction, Li Laosan gritted his teeth and agreed. In this way, the two of them started the great business of Jingle Bell in the middle of the night, but fortunately, the blacksmith shop was located in the back mountain, so there was no suspicion of disturbing the people.
The envoy of Valan Village came very quickly, and he arrived at Lijia Village at noon the next day, and this time he was not an ordinary person like a fake envoy, but a strong man in the real martial arts realm, a real Valan bandit.
After the envoy came, he neither picked thorns in his bones to find fault with him, nor did he show a good color to the village chief and others, but only conveyed the order of the big boss with an indifferent face, and then turned around and left.
Mo said that it was the banquet that used to entertain the envoys according to the custom, and he didn't even drink a sip of tea, and left without a cup of tea.
At this time, Tang Yi and Li Laosan were still building their magic soldiers, but because Tang Yi had no drawings, everything needed Li Laosan to explore by himself under Tang Yi's guidance.
After understanding the general principle, Li Laosan gave Tang Yi a few freshly built iron wheels and asked him to be responsible for grinding the wheels. Save him from pointing fingers and grinding his lips all the time.
As for the work of striking iron, Li Laosan and a few apprentices who arrived in the morning were in charge.
It wasn't until the beginning of Shen that Li Laosan made the first crossbow with the help of his apprentices, but this crossbow looked very weird. After all, there is no specific size, and Li Laosan can only try it slowly, but the size of this part is right, and the other may not be just right, so he will create this kind of weird thing.
"Can this thing really be more powerful than a bow?" Li Laosan took the strange-looking crossbow in his hand and looked at Tang Yi with a suspicious expression.
At this time, Tang Yi also had some drumming in his heart, but he didn't show it well, for fear of dampening everyone's enthusiasm. In order to appease everyone, Tang Yi picked up the crossbow with the bowstring, glanced at Li Laosan with an arrogant face, got up and walked outside the house.
I don't know what kind of material this fine iron is, the elasticity is very good, and the hardness is also very high, it seems to be some kind of alloy.
Tang Yi took a deep breath and pulled the bowstring hard, wanting to hang the string on the trigger, but he tried all his strength and couldn't hang the string. In the end, Li Laosan couldn't stand it anymore, snatched the crossbow from Tang Yi's hand, and hung the string on the trigger to complete the shooting preparations.
After Tang Yi saw Li Laosan's unbeaten expression, he pursed his lips and said in his heart, "It's not to see Lao Tzu's archery skills" and snatched the crossbow.
After putting the crossbow arrow into the card slot, he aimed at a large tree more than a hundred feet away and pulled the trigger.
More than 100 zhang is more than 300 meters, even if the Song Dynasty's divine arm bow is only so. Under normal circumstances, Tang Yi would not dare to choose such a distant target, but he couldn't pull the crossbow even if he tried his best, so he dared to choose such a long distance.
Hearing a vibration, a black-covered crossbow bolt flew out.
It's just that the crossbow bolt was not nailed to the big tree more than 100 zhang away as Tang Yi expected, but hit the big tree 80 zhang away from the left front of the tree.
After the crossbow arrow hit the big tree, there was a 'doo' sound, Tang Yi was immediately relieved, and he was a little worried when he saw that the crossbow arrow was missed. If you don't win the first battle, I'm afraid you will be laughed half to death by Li Laosan. Now that I've hit the tree, I don't care if the target is off.
Just as Tang Yi was about to walk over to take a look at the situation, there was another 'doo', but this time the sound was much quieter.
An apprentice with excellent eyesight said with a face full of surprise: "It has such a strong penetrating power, it actually penetrated the big tree and nailed it to the tree behind." ”
As soon as Tang Yi heard this, his heart was completely put back into his stomach, and after turning his head and glancing at Li Laosan with an arrogant face, he said with a smile: "This is called killing two birds with one stone, how about Li Laosan, do you want to worship me as a teacher, and I will teach you archery?"
Li Laosan looked at Tang Yi with a smile and said, "How do I think you are aiming at another big tree?"
When Tang Yi heard this, the corners of his eyes flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but he scolded angrily in his heart: Who let you chisel the card slot off!
Although the card slot is indeed a little biased, it is also to blame Tang Yi for not noticing it, otherwise if he adjusts it slightly, even if he can't guarantee that he will be hit, it should not be far away.
Of course, Tang Yi would not admit that he missed the shot, especially in front of Li Laosan. I saw that his face was not red and he said with a false heart: "You know a fart! Lao Tzu is called pointing east and west, you watch me aim at this side, but I am hitting that side." ”
Li Laosan rolled his eyes and ignored Tang Yi, with his martial artist's eyesight, where could Tang Yi not be able to see?
At this time, the two finally walked to the tree, only to see that the first big tree was actually pierced through a thumb-thick hole from the thickest center of the trunk, and the crossbow arrow finally shot directly into the second big tree, revealing the tip of the arrow behind it.
An arrow pierced two two-foot-thick trees, maybe the power of the ten-stone bow was slightly inferior, right?
Li Laosan, as a martial artist and a blacksmith, still knows the power of the ten-stone bow very well, and the reason why he chose to build this crossbow with fine iron is because he wanted this crossbow to have the power of ten stones from the beginning.
However, after all, Li Laosan was making a crossbow for the first time, and he didn't know much about crossbows, so he felt that this crossbow was nothing more than that. Although the strength is not small, the head is not enough, and it is not something that ordinary people can use.
This kind of weapon is not very helpful to Lijia Village, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is not even helpful at all, what Lijia Village needs is something that can defeat Hualan Village. It's better to have a divine weapon that ordinary people can also kill a warrior, rather than something that only a warrior can use.
"Hey, Li Laosan, what about the pulley set I asked you to build for me?" Tang Yi asked with a big grin as he carried the crossbow.
"Is this kind of small wheel really useful?" Li Laosan took seven or eight small wheels of different sizes from the apprentice's hand and handed them to Tang Yi and asked.
"Look at it, turtle!" Tang Yi pursed his lips disdainfully, took the small wheel and pounded it on the crossbow, and in a moment he installed all the seven or eight small wheels on the specially prepared iron pillar on the crossbow arm.
After installing these pulleys, Tang Yi found a special thin thread and threaded it, and fixed the pulley with an iron hook at the other end of the thin thread.
Then something happened that surprised Li Laosan, and he saw that Tang Yi, who couldn't pull the bowstring with his hands and feet before, actually pulled the bowstring full with two fingers.
"This ...... This ...... "How could Li Laosan have ever seen such a situation?"
Not only Li Laosan, but also the blacksmith apprentices under him had never seen such a situation.
"It's science, and someone as stupid as you wouldn't understand it. After Tang Yi glanced at Li Laosan arrogantly, he aimed at a big tree one hundred and fifty zhang away with a crossbow in both hands.
This time, Tang Yi did not miss again, and the crossbow arrow still pierced the tree.
After shooting an arrow, Tang Yi looked at Li Laosan again, and his eyes seemed to say, "How is it, Lao Tzu's archery skills are good, right?
It's a pity that his flattery was finally thrown on the wood.
Where is Tang Yi's shadow in Li Laosan's eyes at this time? His eyesight now only has that crossbow!
I saw Li Laosan step forward, snatched the crossbow in Tang Yi's hand with one hand, and knocked him to the ground.
Li Laosan learned from Tang Yi's appearance, hung the hook on the bowstring, and pulled it gently, but the bowstring had been pulled into a full moon before he could use force.
"Okay, if everyone in my hunting team has one of these crossbows in their hands, why should they be afraid of him in Valanzhai? Brother Tang...... Hey, Brother Tang, why are you lying on the ground?"
