Chapter 136: Daqing Mountain

The crossbow is three feet two feet long, the string length is two feet five, and the range can reach more than 340 steps, which is converted to 150 meters in later generations! It can be called a generation of killers. But the original invention of the Divine Arm Bow was actually a member of the Western Xia Party...... After being introduced into the Great Song Dynasty, it was used as a weapon to resist the cavalry and presented to the imperial court, and several generations of Song emperors did attach great importance to the role of this divine arm bow, and spared no effort to improve and perfect various components and processes, and finally had this Great Song Dynasty's unique divine arm bow!

Song Wen only glanced at it and discovered the biggest flaw of this divine arm bow...... There is no butt for shoulder shots!

The workmanship is excellent and the materials are solid, the cow tendon crossbow string is wrapped in grease and oil paper and is not strong, Song Wen also noticed that although the crossbow string is stretched vigorously with a wrench and hook to borrow force, it still belongs to the pedal hand pulling on the winding method! What if you add pulleys and cranks?

Coupled with the slide and fixed trigger buckle, is it possible to wind up the fire with less effort? There are also refined crossbow arrows that are strictly crafted and have no difference in weight and size......

Song Wen stared at the Divine Arm Bow in his hand, and his mind was spinning rapidly...... This kind of thing is too expensive to build, and this is never a weapon that can be equipped in large quantities!

Snipe with precision and shoot to attack the commander on the battlefield! Snipe heralds, ambush logistics convoys...... Or even a decapitation assassination deep behind enemy lines!

Song Wen's thoughts drifted out, and he went through almost all the scenarios and conditions for the use of this weapon.

"Brother, brother......"

An Chun's call pulled Song Wen back from the state of fugue, and Song Wen returned the divine arm bow to Lao Huang's hand, and said with a smile: "The first time I saw this forbidden army's artifact, some of the fugue artifacts were out...... Don't laugh at the old-timers. ”

Lao Huang put the Divine Arm Bow back on the weapon rack with a complicated expression, and then carefully wrapped the crossbow with an oilcloth.

"This really can't be given to you, and if you give it to you, you'll hurt you! Not to mention the courage of your township soldiers, even ordinary van soldiers may not see the divine arm bow a few times in their lives...... Some of the forbidden soldiers who are dozens of years old have not used it either, and they are familiar with the ...... That is, the Western Army and the border army on Hebei Road are better, and they are locked in their respective arsenals on weekdays for fear of damage. ”

Song Wen shook his head: "When a weapon is created, it must be used by people, and it can only be used in wartime...... Without years of experience, I'm afraid I'll be in a hurry on the battlefield! ”

Lao Huang nodded: "Our commander also said so at the beginning, but this is an edict of the imperial court, and you can't easily use crossbows and heavy armor for no reason!" So over the years, only the sword and axe men in our army are the most effective......"

Song Wen suddenly asked, "Huang Lao Ke has heard of the Jingsai cavalry?"

Lao Huang frowned and shook his head: "No, the current cavalry is mostly allocated to the Western Army, and the best thing is the personal effect of those generals, that is, the pro-army of the tooth soldiers...... The north is mostly guarded by fortified cities, after all, the Liao people have not gone south for many years, so there are not many cavalry. ”

Song Wen sighed...... The elite cavalry are all in the Western Army, but the Western Army has long been on mutual alert with the imperial court, although there are generals who are close to the imperial court like the Yao family, but now the most powerful in the Northwest Frontier Army is the Zhejia!

Part of the main force of the Yao family army of the seed army and Yao Pingzhong was brought to Jiangnan by Tong Guan, and part of it was consumed by Fang La, and it was dragged down by Tong Guan on the battlefield of joining forces with the Jurchens to attack the Liao State, and was dragged down by the northern border army with sparse combat strength, and finally when the Jin invaded, Yao Pingzhong's Yao family army was almost wiped out in the Taiyuan defense battle! The last elite of the seed army turned to King Qin, and there was not much left under Bianliang City...... In the end, the family was unable to support itself, and surrendered to the Jin people.

Song Wen sighed, a little excited...... Lao Huang hesitated for a long time, and finally pointed to a large wooden box in the corner of the warehouse and said: "Although the imperial court has extremely strict control over the Divine Arm Bow, there are also some secretly imitated crossbows in the fortresses around the country, after all, this thing is really easy to use!" I heard that all of your Qingshanzhai township soldiers are young dolls...... In the future, if you really encounter a gangster who doesn't want to die, I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss if I don't have a few good things at the bottom of the box! ”

Song Wen arched his hand and said, "What can Huang Lao teach me?"

"There are a few scrapped Divine Arm bows there, you replace the crossbow and find the bowstring yourself...... Modify it again, don't leave traces of official manufacturing, even if our brother leaves some good things for those dolls who haven't seen much blood. Just remember, don't show it in front of the forbidden army and the old army...... Otherwise, you're in trouble! ”

Song Wen and An Chun thanked each other, and then happily went to carry the box over, opened it and took a look...... An Chun was disappointed, a pile of tattered parts and crossbow bodies, but most of the mechanism buckles were still there.

Song Wen patted An Chun's shoulder with satisfaction, then got up and hugged his fists at the two old soldiers and said, "Song Mou thanked the two old-timers for the 100 township soldiers and young men in Qingshan Village!" In the future, if there is any need, Huang Lao can go to my Qingshan camp's camp in Dongcheng and give an order...... As long as I can do it, it is incumbent on me! ”

The two old army leaders smiled, and Lao Xu pulled An Chun to pick the best thirty hard bows, plus five thousand arrows...... Song Wen put the box aside and went with Lao Huangtou to pick out a hundred iron-clad wooden shields, the wooden shields made of hardwood were very heavy, and they were wrapped with iron sheets and rivets, and they were well preserved except for some rust.

Old Xu Le went to call the other three old guys to move these things outside to prepare for handover, and An Chun also ran to help...... Song Wen suddenly said to Lao Huang: "I see that Huang seniors seem to have something to say to me, seniors don't have to take care of anything, just ask if you need anything!"

Lao Huang hesitated, frowned and whispered, "What does Song Dutou know about Dinggu Dutou in Taoshan County?"

Song Wen thought for a moment and replied: "It seems that there is some scheming, but the actions are a little upside down...... The village soldiers under him are all unusable, and to tell you the truth, I really don't think about his ability. ”

Lao Huang nodded: "That's right, but you still underestimate him...... It stands to reason that his ability is more than that, but the township soldiers in Taoshan County are indeed a bunch of waste! It's ...... There are some inscrutable places, I only know that his two henchmen are not simple! In the past few years, the county government has also thought about the gang of thieves in Daqingshan, but no matter how they plan it, those thieves are like prophets...... I'm afraid there's something strange in this! ”

Song Wen was stunned for a moment...... This Lao Huang seems to know a lot about things outside, and he is vaguely hostile to this Ding Gudu, is there some story in this?
