Chapter 86: Drove Lao Maozi to the north of the Black River

There is only one pair of 'Divine Arm Crossbows' in their village, which has been handed down from his grandfather's generation and has a history of several decades.

Now they use it to defend and deter those lake bandits.

Don't mention it, since Wang Tiezhu fought out of the abandoned arsenal, the 'Divine Arm Crossbow'.

The bandits who were born and raised in Weishan Lake have spread ten, ten to hundreds, and they really haven't had any ideas for their craftsman village!

However, maybe it's because they're too poor!

"Drag that 'Divine Arm Crossbow' here, I'm going to test its power."

By the abandoned pier by the lake, I only heard, "buzz.............. bang, bang".

With a few dull sounds, accompanied by a scream that broke through the air, a huge wooden plank two hundred paces away shook violently.

The 'Divine Arm Crossbow' fired four crossbow arrows in a row that were much larger than ordinary arrows, and two of them crackled and fell to the ground after piercing and flying out of the wooden plank.

The other two branches were nailed to the body of the wooden plank, and all but the tail of the arrow were submerged into the plank, and the part that peeked out from the back of the plank was more than a foot.

One of them lifted the bow of the wooden plank, and the other actually shot the wooden plank through it and sank straight into the trunk of the big tree that was tied to the plank behind it.

Since his rebirth, Zhao Xiong has found that his 2.0 eyesight is much better than his eyesight in his previous life.

So far away, the dust raised by the crossbow arrows inserted into the planks lifted up like moldy tofu that had exploded.

Zhao Xiong took Li Ge, Liu Sheng and others to step forward, and took a breath of cool air when they looked at the fishing boats that were shot by crossbow arrows.

Looking at the plank of the ship that had been destroyed by the four crossbow arrows, his eyes were full of horror, the power of a divine arm crossbow was so powerful.

Zhao Xiong remained silent, but he also took a breath of cool air in his heart, in front of this kind of weapon, what infantry armor, cotton armor, is almost the same as paper paste.

Zhao Xiong couldn't think of any armor in this era that could completely block the killing of this kind of crossbow arrow.

As for whether the person wearing plate armor can block it, it is estimated that it hangs!

Even if it doesn't penetrate, it will suffer serious internal injuries.

Zhao Xiong looked carefully, and the arrow of this 'Divine Arm Crossbow' was not the most common diamond-shaped arrow, but a relatively wide reverse crescent.

After the initial polishing, the edge is quite sharp, and in the state of high-speed flight, it can inflict devastating damage on the enemy with kinetic energy alone.

It is said that the range of the 'Divine Arm Crossbow' can reach more than 300 steps, which means that as long as the enemy is hit within 200 steps, it will turn into scum in minutes.

He felt a little tightness in his throat and coughed lightly, he still underestimated the creativity of the ancients, such a terrifying weapon.

When I came to the Dakang Dynasty, it was the first time to see this kind of large-scale destruction weapon, no better than those firearms and the like.

But it's not easy to carry, so you can only fix the place to defend the city.

After thinking about it, it became clear again.

The lethality of this weapon is greatly reduced against enemies moving at high speed on horseback, and the long winding time is a fatal flaw.

But even so, as long as it is used properly, the power of this weapon is absolutely impossible to ignore.

Looking at Li Ge Baihu's surprised gaze, Zhao Xiong coughed and asked, "Haven't you seen this before?" ”

Li Ge bowed and replied: "In the past few years at my father-in-law's house, I have also been on duty, and I have sent supplies to the northeast border pass the year before last, but I have never seen such a sharp bow and arrow.

However, after the war with Lao Maozi, the artillery used by the Northeast Frontier Army blew up people one by one and was even more awesome than this, but it was just inaccurate, hehe! ”

Zhao Xiong remembered the situation in the northeast, and the only newspaper a few days ago said that the vanguard of the north had won a big victory and drove Lao Maozi to the north of the Heihe, but he didn't know if it was true.

Li Ge said again and whispered: "I have seen 1,000 catties of iron cannons, and I have also transported them together, with such sharp weapons, outside the Dakang Pass, I heard that why have you been defeated repeatedly?" ”

Zhao Xiong was stunned, thought about it, and suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder

"Then you have to ask, the ministers above the court, we people at the lower level don't have to worry too much.

The sky fell, and there was a tall man on top of it. ”

Through his conversations with Zhao Xiong in the past few days, Li Ge found that there were occasionally some inappropriate words that this master said.

But when I looked back and analyzed it, I was surprised, as if what he said was the truth in retrospect.

Zhao Xiong pulled out a crossbow arrow with all his might, and looked at the polishing on the edge of the back of the arrow, and there was still a little rust on the side.

He laughed and said:

"I don't know how long these crossbow bolts have been in the arsenal of the Acropolis, have they been for decades? I don't even think the owner of this batch of weapons has ever seen these things......"

Next to them, Wang Xiaoqi and Wang Tiezhu are not interested in fighting at all, and they basically belong to the level of military idiots.

However, the heavy defensive weapons of their village were still very precious, and they picked up the crossbow arrows on the ground with great care.

"This weapon is not defenseless, it can be resisted by a heavy wooden shield, but it is still terrifying......"

At this time, the little aunt came over and looked at the crossbow arrow carefully, and said.

Zhao Xiong smiled heartily:

"I think firearms will still be the mainstream of development in the future.

This crossbow bolt took too long to be wound, enough time for the firebolt to hit more than three rows of lead bullets, enough to suppress the enemy's charge. ”

"Moreover, this crossbow bolt is very powerful, but it is not easy to hit a moving target.

There was only one here, and if you shot four crossbow arrows at once between the narrow roads of the fortress, it would be fatal for a dense infantry formation.

But it did not work against cavalry running at high speed.

And it's really a long time to make, it's not as easy as making a small cannon, and it doesn't cost much! ”

The little aunt smiled and said: "I don't know where the ninth master knows, now there are only tens of thousands of taels of silver in the household (May 1836), and there is not as much deposit as the Shanxi ticket number in the capital.

When we left Beijing, the food supply in the capital was also cut off, and the price of rice soared threefold, causing many people in the capital to jump into the river with hunger.

As far as I know, the current imperial court is still very nervous at hand after using various means, so that everyone from the northeast camp to the silver is short.

It's just that Jin Yuwei, who can find two taels of in those pigsties, is trying to find a way to raid the house ....... ”

The little aunt smiled bitterly in the smoke.

Zhao Xiong looked at her, there was a different kind of beauty, very good-looking!

Zhao Xiong coughed twice and sighed:

"That's all about the court, so we won't talk about it.

Thinking about the age of this crossbow, the size of the crossbow arrows is different, except for the length of the arrow shaft, the other parts are more or less different.

It seems that we must make the fire gun again, and we need to mold it. ”
