Chapter 60: The bed crossbow is successful, and the war horse arrives

Given the command to test, a soldier shouldered the shaft of the arrow and loaded it on a bed crossbow.

There were also a few soldiers who turned the turntable on the bed crossbow vigorously, pulled the super strong bowstring, and quickly prepared the bed crossbow, and then released the bowstring with Yang Zhao's order.

Sou!

A sharp cracking sound sounded.

The backlash of the bed crossbow was also so strong that the soldier who was spinning the turntable let go of his hand and took several steps back.

But their focus was still on the shaft of the arrow, only to see the shaft of the arrow shoot straight out, the sound of breaking the air was sharper, the rate of fire was extremely fast, more than a thousand steps were completed in the blink of an eye, and it fell on the first arrow target.

The first target was smashed on the spot.

But the shaft did not stop, and continued to move forward, and soon the second, the third...... The sixth target was smashed one after the other before it stopped.

The arrow target is not placed, but fixed in the ground, and the wooden pole is pierced into the soil, which has a certain resistance to the arrow, but it can also break six arrow targets, this scene made Tian Yu's eyes widen.

It's too strong!

Fang Rui walked forward, measured for a moment and shouted excitedly: "Fifteen hundred steps, the range is almost fifteen hundred steps." ”

"So far!"

I couldn't believe it, so I walked over and measured it for a while, and there were really 1,500 steps.

If it weren't for the arrow target blocking for a while, the arrow shaft could shoot farther, and he ran back and said: "The bed crossbow is too strong, even the war horse can shoot through, if you fight against the enemy cavalry, it is definitely a super killer!" ”

Tian Yu agreed: "It's really too strong! ”

If you shoot at a person's body, you should not have a problem shooting three or four enemies with one arrow, but if you are close, you can shoot more, and no amount of shields can stop it.

Three-bow bed crossbow, too ferocious!

It's a killer on the battlefield!

"The craftsmen have done a good job, reward!"

Yang Zhao was very satisfied with the power of the bed crossbow, and said: "Since the bed crossbow is useful, continue to make it, I want fifty three-bow bed crossbows, make them as soon as possible, and prepare enough arrow shafts." ”

"Good!"

Those craftsmen had the money to take it, and excitedly agreed.

No one is going to have trouble with money.

Next, Yang Zhao continued to let people test.

Now the test is the durability of the bed crossbow, because the backlash force of the bowstring countershock is too strong, and Yang Zhao is worried that the bed crossbow will fall apart to a certain extent.

His fears proved justified.

When the twentieth shaft was fired, there was a "snap" on the bed crossbow.

A crack appeared in the main beam of the bed crossbow, and the bow arm was also damaged, and there was indeed a limit.

"It's just broken?"

Tian Yu suggested: "Do you want to replace these wooden poles with iron?" ”

Yang Zhao shook his head slightly and said: "The three-bow bed crossbow is light at the same time, the power is not weak, if you replace it with iron and increase the weight, it will look bulky and inconvenient to carry, continue to use wood, but try to find tough wood to replace." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the craftsmen and said, "If you can improve it and increase the limit of the use of the bed crossbow, there will also be a great reward." ”

The role of banknote ability has been brought into play again.

When the craftsmen heard this, they directly pulled the three-bow bed crossbow back, and immediately improved and rebuilt it, without Yang Zhao's urging at all.

"You go back and continue training, you can find out if there are other bandits nearby."

"If there is, if you lead the troops to destroy it, it will be regarded as military training."

"The newly added brothers don't see any blood, and it is difficult to train them with training alone."

Yang Zhao looked at Tian Yu and instructed them.

Tian Yu asked incomprehensibly: "The county magistrate's recruitment of troops and training of soldiers seems to be beyond what the county magistrate should do, may I ask why?" ”

Someone finally asked this question, and Yang Zhao asked them rhetorically: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, according to your understanding of the current situation in the world, or your understanding of the imperial court, families, and officials, what will happen next?" ”

Tian Yu and Fang Rui fell into deep thought.

"The world may be chaotic, and the yellow scarf is just the beginning!"

Some problems were seen.

Outside the court, the people are not happy, within the court, the eunuchs and relatives are in charge, the emperor is greedy for pleasure, the officials do not pay attention to the people's livelihood, the land of the wealthy family is annexed, and the wealth is collected.

"That's right!"

"The world will soon be chaotic, and the strength of the army is very important."

"We are just the beginning now, and I will lead you higher and farther in the future."

"If you believe me, you can expect it."

After Yang Zhao finished speaking, he turned around and went back.

Fang Rui, as the number one junior brother, must believe it and follow first.

Tian Yu and Zhao Zhao hesitated in their hearts, but when they thought of Yang Zhao's ability, they immediately strengthened their minds.

The prefectural magistrate can be trusted.

They can forge a future.

——

Solved the bandits, as well as the Zhou family.

As the county magistrate of a small county, Yang Zhao's life is still very comfortable, and there are not many things to deal with in ordinary times.

In the following time, Zhen's people continued to come to Liangxiang to pick up the goods.

However, Zhen Yan did not come in person, and sent a few henchmen, basically once a month, according to the agreement, they did not bring any more cash, and Zhen Yi also agreed to settle the bill by means of documents.

Yang Zhao calculated the time, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.

"County magistrate, my son-in-law said that the war horse is ready."

"It will be delivered to Liangxiang in a few days, and I ask the county magistrate to wait, this time we will still take all the salt."

"These are receipts!"

The cronie who is responsible for picking up the goods is called Zhen An, and today is his third arrival.

Yang Zhao took the slip and nodded, "Fang Rui brought the salt out." ”

Zhen's people are refreshing, and he is also refreshing.

The deal was simply done, and they took the refined salt with them and left the good country in a mighty way.

Two more days passed.

Yang Zhao was dealing with government affairs, Fang Rui suddenly ran in and said excitedly: "County Commander, our war horses are here, and they are in the camp, a total of 1,200 horses." ”

"It's finally here, why are there two hundred more horses?"

Yang Zhao remembered very clearly, he just bought a thousand war horses, not 1,200.

Fang Rui explained: "The people of the Zhen family said that the remaining two hundred horses were given to us by the Zhen family, and the money left over from the purchase of the horses was also exchanged for a receipt and sent by them. ”

Zhen's people are quite sensible.

Two hundred war horses were given for nothing to stabilize the salt trade.

"Let's go check it out."

Yang Zhao said and ran out.

Arrived at the camp.

One thousand two hundred, tall war horses from Dawan and Qiangrong, stood neatly in front of them.

The war horses brought back from the bandits' lair, in front of these horses, are directly a head shorter, and they can't be compared at all, these are all good horses.

Zhen Yan and they are really good, not only did they not play tricks, but they also found so many good horses for him.

"Good!"

Yang Zhao couldn't help the excitement in his heart, touched the horses, and met with those people from the Zhen family, and after being polite, he asked people to bring the war horses back to the barracks.

From now on, he has cavalry!
