Bang!

Ten eight-ox crossbows fired at the same time, and the special heavy crossbow arrows roared out, and then bombarded the bronze armor plate in the distance!

The roar of the heavy crossbow bolts and the bronze armor plates caused the hearts of everyone present to beat twice.

Soon, the results of the experiment were reported.

Of these, four heavy crossbow bolts were nailed directly to the bronze armor plates, and of the remaining six, four missed the target, and two were ejected after hitting the target.

After comparison, these Spelling Xixi version of the Eight Bull Crossbow are still powerful, which is not inferior to the normal version of the Eight Bull Crossbow.

At this time, Wang Jie became angry again, and Cen Mai's face looked a little heavy.

Xia Qi didn't care about the performance of the two, and ordered again: "Remove the bronze armor plate and continue." ”

This time, he wanted to test the durability of the ten eight-bull crossbows, and the purpose of removing the armor plate was to reduce losses.

After all, the bronze arrow of this heavy crossbow arrow will also be flattened or crooked when it hits the armor plate, and then the arrow will have to be recast, wasting manpower and material resources, and there is still time.

Hearing this, Wang Jie was a little nervous.

Although it has been said before that the eight-bull crossbow they made is a fragile and cheap version, if something suddenly fails during the test, it will be a little difficult for the designer's face to hang up after all.

Wang Jie took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and prayed in his heart not to malfunction, while stubbornly telling the goblins to continue shooting.

Ten eight-oxen crossbows, round after round of salvos, went on and on, and after the bronze armor plates were not used as targets, one heavy crossbow flew farther away.

However, after exceeding the effective range, the power of the heavy crossbow is greatly reduced, so it is practically meaningless to calculate the maximum range.

Xia Qi's attention had already shifted from the landing point of the heavy crossbow arrows to the ten eight-bull crossbows that were firing.

When the sixth salvo was fired, one of the eight-bull crossbows suddenly lost its range, and the heavy crossbow arrows fired flew only a few dozen meters before they fell headlong to the ground.

Xia Qi swept his gaze and quickly noticed the goblins who were manipulating one of the eight-bull crossbows, and their movements had obviously become a little hasty.

"What's going on?"

Because he was ready in his heart, Xia Qi, who saw this scene, did not express any anger or disappointment.

Wang Jie wiped the cold sweat while trotting over Wang Jie and explained to Xia Qi: "Return, return to Your Majesty, there is an eight-bull crossbow with a crossbow on it. Something went wrong with the fixing of the bow......"

Sure enough, several goblins were scrambling to carry a huge crossbow. Bow.

And that crossbow. The bow, which was obviously supposed to be fixed to the eight-ox crossbow, was originally supposed to be fastened.

One of the most important things about a bed crossbow is a crossbow. Bow up.

Once the crossbow. If the bow fails, then a whole bed crossbow is destroyed.

However, a failure of the Eight Bull Crossbow was nothing to Xia Qi, so he did not make much comments, but signaled the goblins to continue to fire a salvo.

When the sixth salvo was fired, another eight-bull crossbow lost its ability to attack because the bracket was broken, and the beads of sweat on Wang Jie's forehead became more and more.

By the time the ninth salvo was fired, one of the Eight Bulls fell apart almost completely because it couldn't bear the load, and in the process, several goblins who were operating the Eight Bulls were injured.

In this test, Xia Qi conducted a total of 20 rounds of salvos.

Ten eight-bull crossbows, seven of which were out of order.

The few planes with minor faults can be quickly put back into the war if they are simply repaired, and those with serious faults will fall apart directly.

Xia Qi realized that the probability of this failure really depends on the face.

At this time, Wang Jie was extremely worried in his heart, for fear that Xia Qi would be dissatisfied with this result.

But in fact, for this result, Xia Qi thinks it's okay.

After all, on the real battlefield, siege equipment generally cannot reach this number of attack rounds.

In particular, in the case of other siege means.

The reason why Xia Qi let them carry out twenty rounds of attacks this time was simply because it was an experiment.

After briefly encouraging Wang Jie and rewarding him with some money, Xia Qi calculated it in his heart, and then spoke again.

"So, let's make ten crossbows of this fragile version of the eight-ox crossbow first, and after that, you can go and assist the people in the ordnance department to make the normal version of the hand. Crossbow. ”

For his crossbow troops, Xia Qi never forgot in his heart, and when he subdued the goblin civilization, although he also captured a lot of hands. crossbows, but those hands. Crossbows are all the kind of spelling version.

And most importantly, those hands. Crossbows are made according to the size of goblins, and are completely unusable by ordinary humans.

What Xia Qi needs now is a normal version of the kind of hand that human soldiers can use. Crossbow.

It can only be said that "Goblin Technology" is a double-edged sword, when used well, it can produce and send a large number of ordnance and crossbow troops with low prices and costs, and instantly crush the opposite side with absolute numbers.

But once you encounter bad luck, the equipment in your hand frequently malfunctions, and it makes people unhappy.

Therefore, Xia Qi had an idea in his heart, that is, the vulnerable version of the ordnance and the normal version of the ordnance should be brought, and a relatively safe ratio should be determined.

In this way, even if there is damage to the ordnance, it will not affect the progress of the siege.

This can be said to be a relatively safe approach.

Of course, the level of goblin technology has to be raised quickly, and the probability of failure can still be as low as possible.

Just when Xia Qi was thinking about it like this, Xia Fox suddenly ran over and said to Xia Qi: "Your Majesty, I also brought a new weapon to test this time, do you want to take a look?" ”

"New weapons?" Hearing this, Xia Qi suddenly became interested in his heart.

But then again, Xia Qi found that he really didn't know what this girl was studying recently.

It's really this girl who is haunted all day long, Xia Qi hasn't seen her for nearly half a month recently, if she hadn't tested the Eight Bull Crossbow today, it is estimated that she would still lie in her studio, studying without seeing the day.

Hearing this, the goblins who had already planned to leave stopped one after another.

Wang Jie's experimental results are not ideal, and now he is completely in a posture of wanting to see what new results can be produced on the human side.

Of course, Xia Qi was also very curious in his heart.

"Okay, if you have any new weapons, let's get them out quickly."

On the side of the Ordnance Research Department, it is obviously well prepared, just waiting for Xia Qi's words.

After getting Xia Qi's permission, the entire ordnance department immediately moved, and the craftsmen who were originally watching the excitement moved out one by one scarecrows in soldier costumes under the leadership of Cen Mai, and also put out a phalanx.

Looking at their battle, Xia Qi's heart suddenly gave birth to a little expectation.

An eight-bull crossbow made by the ordnance production department was pushed out, and it can be seen that this eight-bull crossbow has undergone transformation in some parts.

"Your Majesty, can you begin?" Xia Fox looked at Xia Qi with an obvious smile on his face.

"Let's get started." Xia Qi nodded.

As the demonstration order was issued, the members of the department who were in charge of operating the Eight Bull Crossbow in the distance suddenly moved their hands.

These ordnance weapons were originally made by the ordnance department, and they were much more structurally aware of them than the soldiers who operated them, and they were able to operate them in considerable numbers.

It didn't take long for the Eight Ox Crossbow to open fire.

With a buzz, a heavy crossbow shot out and flew towards the scarecrow in the distance.

As a result, at this moment, an unexpected situation suddenly happened, and the heavy crossbow bolt actually split directly!

Wang Jie, who saw this scene, was about to die of laughter, this thing is not as good as them.

In fact, in the development and production of new weapons, it is normal for failures and failures to occur, but this scene was seen by His Majesty the Emperor.

That's not good.

Just when Wang Jie was gloating, the accident happened again.

I saw that the inside of the cracked heavy crossbow arrow was like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and in the blink of an eye, a large area of even smaller arrows flew out, and in just one breath, a small rain of arrows was formed in the air, and then swept the scarecrow phalanx below mercilessly!

The scarecrow phalanx, which had been baptized by the rain of arrows, became a mess, causing a burst of exclamations from the onlookers.

Wang Jie, who was still a little gloating a little one moment, was completely frozen in the next moment. It rubbed its eyes, but it couldn't hide the shock in its heart.

It is completely conceivable how much damage this rain of arrows can do to the enemies if it explodes above the heads of an enemy phalanx!?

Xia Qi was very excited, the little fox had made him an ancient version of the shotgun!

As I said before, the large ordnance is basically to hit the opposite large ordnance and the city wall, used to hit people, the accuracy is simply touching, and it is inevitable that there is a feeling of anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes.

But the "scattered arrow" in front of him is different, it is obviously used to deal with enemy soldiers, this is completely a weapon of large-scale destruction in the era of cold weapons!

Since then, Great Xia's Eight Bull Crossbow has a new attack mode, which further enriches the means of use and tactical arrangement, which makes Xia Qi not excited?

Of course, while he was excited, he also wanted to figure out the principle of this "scattered arrow".

"The first one to shoot out was not a heavy crossbow arrow at all, but a special storage container, and the small arrows were all placed in it......"

"As for why it suddenly cracked in mid-air and fired a volley of arrows inside, it was related to the pressure of the airflow?"

"But no, if it's related to the air pressure, then when it just shoots out, the storage container should be stretched open by the air pressure squeezed in front of you, right?"

Listening to Xia Qi's guess, Xia Fox blinked quickly.

"It's worthy of Your Majesty, just after a glance, I guessed the key point of this new weapon."

"So what?"

Xia Qi threw an inquiring look at Xia Fox and said, "How did you do this?" ”

I only heard Xia Fox explain: "Actually, it's not complicated, there is a special small mechanism placed on the inner wall of this storage container, and at the same time, two rows of notches of different depths are also carved on both sides of the interior. ”

Hearing this, Xia Qi suddenly realized.

"I see, you use that little mechanism to fasten the notches to increase the resistance and delay the time it takes for the storage container to be propped open."

"For example, there are 10 notches on each side of the inside of the container, and the small mechanism is fastened at the front, that is, the first one. But after ejaculating, the oncoming air pressure will constantly push the small mechanism back, and with each notch, the storage container will open up for a minute. When the tenth notch is pushed open, the storage container will be completely opened, and the small arrows hidden inside will also be spread out in an instant with the inertial power of the Eight Bull Crossbow, turning into a rain of arrows to attack the enemy in front of you! ”

After listening to this analysis, Xia Fox was dumbfounded, and almost subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, you are so powerful, you can just come to work in our research department." ”

Is it okay to work for yourself?

Xia Qi stretched out his hand and rubbed Xia Fox's little head, and said, "I am very satisfied with the new weapon this time, let's say, what reward do you want?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Fox's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I want to dismantle all the Goblin Technology equipment and study it! ”
