After Wang Rong finished the military discussion, he began to prepare, he had already thought of a countermeasure, and used the guards as scouts to launch a surprise attack on the scouts of Pusha Kingdom.

Wang Rong came to the garrison of the guards, and Wang Wei had already led the soldiers to sort out their equipment. Wang Wei walked up to one of the guards, looked at the equipment he had arranged, and said, "Two ox horn bows, ten ringing arrows, twenty string moon arrows, and thirty armor-piercing cones; one long-armed crossbow and thirty harpoons; Five short steel spears, a ring knife, a horse lance, where is your round shield? ”

The guard said with an embarrassed face: "Hundred generals, my round shield was damaged in the last battle, and the new shield was left in the camp of Lucheng by me." ”

Wang Hao looked angry, he had led the guards for so long, and there had never been a big mistake, he casually took off his round shield from his back, threw it to the soldier, and said angrily: "The big war is coming, I can't punish you, but remember these twenty lashes first, if you are lucky enough not to die in battle, you will give me back alive to be punished!" ”

The soldier looked embarrassed and said, "I see, Hundred Generals." ”

Ouyang Xun on the side wrote down the soldier's name and number, and then put the record book in his bag.

Wang Rong looked at the young faces in front of him, did not make any impassioned speeches, silently waved his hand, and set off with his personal guards, leaving the chicken.

At this moment, Wang Bozheng looked at the old wolf and the old dog standing in front of him with a confused expression, and asked suspiciously: "What about you captains?" ”

The old dog smiled and said: "Lord Captain, we don't know the whereabouts of this captain, we only know that before the captain leaves, let us report to you." ”

Wang Bo's face turned dark, and he said angrily: "This Zhong Ming, he must have gone to the grassland with his own guards, why does he not know the severity so much, he is a commander, how can he still be the same as the vanguard general?" ”

When Wang Bo said this, he simply forgot that he was also a pioneer at the beginning.

The old dog smiled and said: "That, Lord Captain, we all said that Lord Captain has the highest rank, and he is the commander of the entire army, and our Captain, as the commander next to you, should take his personal guards out of the fortress and try the quality of the Pusha people." ”

Wang Bo waved his hand angrily, and said angrily: "I think he is just enjoying himself, okay, don't mention him, old wolf, old dog, Apu, gather the team, we should also go, bring everything with you, right?" ”

The old wolf said with a straight look: "Every soldier, one war horse, two pack horses, two horn bows, fifty arrows, one horse lance, a ring-headed steel sword, a round shield, flint and other items are all ready. ”

Wang Bo was dumbfounded, and he asked incredulously, "What kind of horn bow do you say you are equipped?" ”

After speaking, he saw that on the back of the old wolf's pack horse, there were two bows, one long and one short, and the material was obviously not ordinary.

The horn bow is the pinnacle of ancient Chinese bows and arrows, and its power is no less than that of bows made of modern materials. It is made of horns, bamboo and wood tires, cow tendons, animal glue and other materials through 100 processes, with high technical difficulty and long production cycle.

The production process is simply divided into nine steps:

The first is to make a bow tire, sawing off the uneven thickness of the two ends of the bamboo before and after, and selecting a relatively straight section in the middle. A section about four feet long and one inch wide is sawn to form an arc with the bamboo skin on the outside.

The second is to make bow tips, bows have long bows, short bows, the length of the bow tips is a simple difference between the general traditional bow type signs.

The third is to do the lookout, which is lined in the middle of the inner surface of the bamboo tire in order to grasp the part, and its material is mostly elm. The cutting of the hope handle should be based on the shape that is suitable for grasping, and the size of the user's hand should be changed accordingly.

The fourth is to cut a piece of the lookout in the middle of the inner surface of the bamboo fetus about an inch away. The depth of the cut is about half the thickness of the whole piece of bamboo. Cut out its initial shape with a saw and adze, and then file flat with a wooden file.

The fifth is to insert the bow tip and glue the bow tip to both ends of the bow tire.

The sixth is to scrape the bow tire, this step is to deal with the bow tire. The width of the bow tire cannot be as it was at the beginning. The bamboo tire should be processed to the appropriate width with a cadze and a wooden file, and the edges of the bamboo tire should be filed very smoothly.

Seven is sticky horns, first of all, the horns should be sawed, sawed down according to the side of the outer arc of the horns, and a bow should be best used with two horns of a cow; Then there is the grinding of the horns, the two horns that have been sawn off need to be smoothed out on the sides before the horns stick to the bow tire; Then put it on the fire, and when it is roasted to a certain temperature, the horns will become soft, and then put it on the ground and step on it to make it straight; Then put the straight horn surface on the bench according to the direction of the inner side of the horn surface, and draw the horn surface one by one with a strangler, which is the tearing face, and the function of the stripe is to be good for sticking to the bamboo fetus after coating the pigskin bladder. Then glue the horn surface to the bow tire, and the horn surface should be strong, and whether it is strong or not will directly affect the quality of the bow. Finally, the grinding surface is to polish the horn surface, and the degree of polishing of the horn surface should be determined according to the thickness of the horn selected and the strength of the bow you want to make.

Eight is sticky beef tendons, the first is to comb the tendons, first wash the tendons with warm water. Lay it flat and dip a bunch of tendons in the swim bladder pot so that the tendons can be fully coated with the swim bladder. Then lay them flat on the rib board and comb it with a rib comb so that each tendon filament is fully expanded; Secondly, then pave the tendons, according to the length of the tendons to determine the need to lay a few tendons, when the first tendon is paved to start from the middle, and then to one end of the paving, wait for the tendon to be paved after a day or two of time to dry and then pave the other end, so that the side of the dry can be grasped during the operation.

The ninth is to set the shape of the mouth, and use a pair of arc-shaped sleepers to make a "bow holder" to finalize the shape of the bow that is initially made.

The process of making the whole set of horn bows is cumbersome and complicated, the time is also long, and the failure rate is much higher than that of ordinary bows, but Wang Bo really admires his younger brother, he is really willing to spend money.

Wang Bo moved his gaze and saw the horse lance hanging on the pack horse hook, the smooth linear mallet, the blade shining with cold light, all showed the extraordinaryness of this horse lance.

Wang Bo stretched out his hand, stroking the horse lance as if he were stroking the singer of the Chu Pavilion of Qinlou. The old dog saw Wang Bo's demeanor, and said with a look of admiration: "Captain, you don't know, this horse lance, but it has cost our captain a lot of effort, in order to be able to reduce the cost and reduce the failure rate, the captain has been busy with the improvement of the horse lance production technology for a month. ”

It was the first time that Wang Bo had heard someone say something about his brother, and he looked at the old dog, seriously preparing to listen to what the old dog had to say.
