No wonder Guan Lin was surprised that this old man created the "Qin Crossbow..."

You must know that the Qin crossbow was completely lost in the late Han Dynasty.

Speaking of which, the Han army is strong, and it is strong in the forging of weapons.

Strong in the more mature iron-making skills and the embryonic period of 100 steel-making, the sharpness of the Han people's long swords and halberds.

And Qin Junqiang is strong on this Qin crossbow.

According to the "Historical Records", since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after the famous battles of Qi and Wei Maling, the crossbow has appeared on the stage of history.

For example, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zheng Guo's sword, Song Guo's scale, Lu Guo's dagger, Wu Yue's sword...

On the crossbow, South Korea is famous all over the world, the so-called - "The world's strongest bows and crossbows are all from South Korea!" ”

However, during the Warring States Period, Korea's crossbow manufacturing technology was carried forward in the Qin State, and under its standardized construction, the Qin crossbow far surpassed the six countries in terms of quantity and quality.

The Qin people also pay attention to "strong crossbows in front, and Yongge in the back!" ”

Whether it is in ancient books or rumors, there are too many stories about Qin crossbows.

Legend... In the Battle of Changping, Zhao Kuo talked about the army on paper, and was cut off by the Qin army of food, grass and reinforcements, and the Zhao army starved for forty-six days.

In this situation, the Zhao people made a desperate gamble and formed four of the most elite breakout troops, which were personally led by Zhao Kuo.

But who would have thought that as soon as Zhao Kuocai "went out", he was shot by a crossbow arrow in the sky and died on the spot, and few of the troops who broke through survived.

This is the power of the Qin crossbow.

In addition, there are also records in ancient books.

The Qin army resisted the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu 200,000 flying horsemen came to attack, but they were stunned by the Qin general Meng Tian to defend the periphery with a big shield.

Dozens of rows of crossbowmen were lined up in the shield, and under the Qin crossbow, thousands of arrows were fired together, and the 200,000 Xiongnu army fell to the ground in an instant, and the formation was in chaos.

In the next battlefield, the Qin crossbow suppressed the Xiongnu's archers and cavalry, giving the infantry a chance to cover the charge, killing 100,000 Xiongnu in a battle, forcing the Xiongnu to retreat more than 700 miles, and did not dare to invade the Central Plains for nearly 20 years.

This is also the power of Qin's crossbow.

Of course...

During the Han Dynasty, crossbows also gained considerable development.

For example, the flying general Li Guang's "Han Da Huang Shen Lian Crossbow" once shot and killed several Xiongnu Zuoxian kings.

In addition, there are more than ten different types of strong crossbows, and the crossbows of the Han army have also made the Hu people frightened.

However, the crossbows of the Han Dynasty were biased towards "crossbow machines" rather than single-person crossbows that were performed with arm or foot strength.

Transportation and mobility are inevitably insufficient.

Combined with range, rate of fire, and mobility, the Qin crossbow still maintains an absolute advantage.

It's just that in the late Han Dynasty... The world is in turmoil, with the turmoil in the borderlands, many crossbow-making techniques have been lost, not to mention Qin crossbows, that is, the production process of "rhubarb crossbow", "six-stone crossbow" and "eight-stone crossbow" is also extremely difficult to find.

Gradually, the power of the crossbow became weaker and weaker, and the range became shorter and shorter, even the "Zhuge Repeater" was only seventy meters.

This kind of range can only hit the front row, and it can't threaten the heart of the enemy army at all!

Because of this, the "crossbow", which lost its power and range, was gradually eliminated by the times, and few princes were equipped with crossbow corps.

On the contrary, it was the bow that became the mainstream of the battlefield.

Of course, in the final analysis, this is because the skill is lost, because troubled times do not give a prince enough time to refine the crossbow.

After thinking about it, Guan Lin and the old man went to a place on the outskirts of the city, he was too curious... This old man is not bluffing him.

But I saw that this old man called a strong man, and this strong man was also very obedient, and after saluting him respectfully, he did as he said, stepped on the arch of his body, pulled his arms and waist, and wound it with all his strength...

With a "whoosh", the arrows fired by the crossbow machine seemed to pierce the air, and the bowstring rebounded violently against the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

It's just the sound of a crossbow bolt being fired, and if all the crossbows are fired in unison... How spectacular will the sound of "breaking the wind" be?

Guan Lin couldn't help but reverie.

It was only at this time that he could understand why the Qin army exhaled the sound of "strong wind and strong wind" before the war.

- It's not just for the sake of courage!

The crossbow bolt shuttled through the air at an extremely fast speed, as far as the eye could see, the crossbow bolt had already landed, Guan Lin couldn't determine how many steps there were, but roughly speaking, it must be more than four hundred steps.

At that time, Guan Lin also specially felt the wind direction here, but it was only a slight tailwind...

If the wind is stronger, if the wind is downwind, it may really be able to reach the 800 steps recorded in the "Warring States Policy"!

For a while, Guan Lin couldn't help but be fascinated.

The old man seemed to see what Guan Lin was thinking.

He opened his mouth and said: "If you can't reach 800 steps, I've tried any wind direction, I can't reach 500 steps, at most more than 400 steps, this "Warring States Policy" doesn't seem to be rigorous." ”

Seeing this, Guan Lin felt that he had met the "thigh"...

Since this product can make a Qin crossbow, then... He was likely to be able to successfully produce a series of other drawings, and Guan Lin suddenly felt that the "future" of this trip was bright.

At this moment, he really wanted to apprentice...

Who would have thought, mentioning the apprenticeship, the old man waved his hand vigorously, "You can draw the manufacturing map of this Qin crossbow, the old man doesn't dare to be your master, the old man's surname is Huang, you might as well call me 'Huang...'"

This old man originally wanted Guan Lin to call him "Huang Lao"...

Unexpectedly, Guan Lin arched his hand and called directly: "Lao Huang"!

This was originally called by Guan Lin casually, who would have thought that this old Huang would shout for half a year.

Later, this Lao Huang took Guan Lin to his villa, and Guan Lin found out that in addition to his solid family background, this Lao Huang really had two brushes.

There are no serious things in the villa, but there are a basket of strange things.

For example, a yellow dog, Guan Lin was deceived, thinking it was a real dog.

When I got closer, I realized that it was wooden... It's so lifelike that it's realistic.

Guan Lin praised twice, but Lao Huang said that this was his daughter's play.

There is also a wooden tiger, if it weren't for the wooden dog in front, Guan Lin really would have thought that this old Huang would dare to raise a tiger as a pet.

The strangest thing is that there is a wooden man, who can also wield a knife...

According to what Lao Huang said, if this wooden man is ambushed in the bushes, he can still surprise and scare the enemy's courage!

And these are all done by his daughter.

At that time, Guan Lin suddenly became very interested in her daughter.

Her daughter is also a great inventor!

That's why Guan Lin couldn't help but ask a few more questions...

Lao Huang is also very frank, he bluntly said that after his daughter got married, she followed her husband to Bashu, and Guan Lin suddenly came back to his senses.

- Surname Huang!

- Girl! Bashu!

- Wooden dogs, wooden tigers, wooden people...

Guan Lin shuddered, hurriedly stood up, and asked directly: "Is the girl Huang Yueying?" Are you Huang Chengyan? ”

As if, Huang Chengyan was also surprised that this kid could say his name.

These days, he went in and out of the market in tattered clothes and unkempt, and no one had ever recognized him.

However, Huang Chengyan did not hide it and answered frankly.

"Yes! Old man Huang Chengyan! ”

Now, Guan Lin understood, and he asked Huang Chengyan rhetorically, "Why are you so interesting old man?" You are Zhuge Kongming's father-in-law, what are you looking for me? ”

Huang Chengyan confessed his heart palpitations, "When I was young, I learned the five elements of Qimen, worked on KitKat, traveled through mountains and rivers in middle age, I didn't feel it before, but when I was old, I suddenly felt lonely... is such a daughter, but she and her son-in-law are far away, and there is a lot of wood in this mountain villa all day long, and there are only a few servants and a donkey, and life is boring and boring..."

Now, Guan Lin knows...

Dare to love, this is the empty nester of the late Han Dynasty!

Guan Lin then asked, "Are you boring?" Just find me to have fun? I'm the son of the Guan family, but it's your fun! ”

Get used to...

In front of this old man, Guan Lin is not used to it.

Now, I don't treat him with respect at all because of his identity.

In fact, Guan Lin's temperament will not be respectful to anyone.

After listening to Guan Lin's words, Huang Chengyan sighed with emotion: "Looking up at it is too empty, it is suspected that it is a jade dragon fight, the old man has studied for half his life, walked for half a life, and in the end, I found that the shoes that you kid bought are the most suitable for my feet." ”

Hehe...

Guan Lin pondered at that time, that's because you realized, you used to be uncomfortable with old monster shoes, but now you know... The source of the discomfort is the feet!

Of course, he didn't say it.

He just said lightly, "I knew that you were Zhuge Kongming's father-in-law, so I wouldn't buy you shoes!" With this money, wouldn't it be more beautiful for me to buy some meat to satisfy my cravings! ”

Huang Chengyan shook his head and sighed: "If I knew earlier, I wouldn't tell the truth, you still treat the old man as a crazy old man, and occasionally accompany him; The old man and I chatted, and gave me some new drawings for me to ponder, and the old man was happy! ”

Huang Chengyan's tone suddenly added a lot of decline and desolation.

Hear this...

Guan Lin suddenly thought of his grandfather and grandfather before crossing over.

They are all in the countryside, and they have raised their children all their lives, but in the end, their children have left the countryside, and they don't see each other a few times a year...

This is a very strange feeling, obviously I miss it very much, but I can resolutely let go and let my children fly higher and farther.

Alas... Guan Lin sighed, he looked back at Huang Chengyan, he could understand the loneliness of this empty nester.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes to look at Huang Chengyan, saw that he was still lonely, and pulled off his clothes.

shouted: "Lao Huang." ”

"How?" Huang Chengyan looked at Guan Lin reluctantly, "I know the identity of the old man, I won't accompany the old man, do you want to leave?" ”

"It's not!" Guan Lin waved his hand, and then, he said with a smile, "You said you wanted to have fun, but then again, if I accompany you to have fun, what good will it be?" ”

When he blurted out these words, the loneliness in Huang Chengyan's eyes disappeared, and then he looked at Guan Lin's eyes full of essence, "What benefits do you want?" ”

"I see that you have a lot of cattle in this farm, and I like to eat beef, but eating beef is easy to make trouble, or... I'll chat with you, draw pictures for you, and accompany you to ponder those strange and clever crafts, if you say, let me eat these cows in the villa? ”

Guan Lin looked at those diligent old scalpers, his mouth was smacking, and his saliva was about to stay, but he was still very sensible: "Of course, before eating these cattle, you have to find a way to make them die reasonably and compliantly... Otherwise, I don't eat steadily. ”

Only... That's it?

Huang Chengyan laughed all of a sudden, what did he think? Isn't it just a few cows?

For an empty nester;

Or for such an empty nester with a precious identity and an extremely empty spiritual world.

A few cows are nothing, there are more cattle in his cottage, as for... The death of these cattle is reasonable and compliant, and that is not simple... He Huang Chengyan has a hundred ways.

As long as he can no longer be lonely, none of this is a problem.

So, Huang Chengyan readily agreed.

What surprised Guan Lin even more was that this Huang Chengyan was also really awesome, he not only let these cattle die "unclear", the key is the reason for the death of these cows, and the government accepted all the orders.

What 'step first with the left foot', what 'step first with the right foot', what 'dare to eat grass today, dare to eat people tomorrow'...

All in all, a lot.

The most important thing is that no one has ever dared to question half a sentence!

Of course, he doesn't have to do these things himself, with his network in Jingzhou, as long as he hooks his fingers, a lot of people are waiting to do things for him.

This also made Guan Lin realize that once a person's reputation reaches a certain level, he will write a sentence casually - there are two trees in front of my house, one is a jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree!

- This kind of sentence can also become the truth!

That's it...

What's even more awesome is that Huang Chengyan also made "Bingjian", which is a container for holding ice.

The meat pieces chopped by a cow can be hidden in it for a full fifteen days, which is especially fresh, which also makes Guan Lin eat beef for fifteen days every half month.

And this meal is half a year.

It's Huang Chengyan, in the past half a year, because of Guan Lin's "manufacturing map", a lot of fresh utensils have been made.

What "Qin crossbow", what "eight-stone crossbow", what "rhubarb force ten-stone crossbow", these are all mediocre.

Even the entire mountain resort has been renovated because of the "keel waterwheel", "water to a hundred plays" and "hydraulic blower".

Even, on the ingredients...

Such as dumplings, Dongpo meat, ham, tofu brain...... Everything but the kitchen sink!

Guan Lin likes to come here very much, because he can eat more delicious food, and the most important thing is that he doesn't need to spend a copper plate, and he can take a few pieces of beef from the "Bingjian" when he leaves.

For example, the "armored crossbow car" that shot the wolf during the last martial arts test was also a drawing drawn by Guan Lin and made by Huang Chengyan.

Moreover...

Huang Chengyan and Guan Lin also have a big plan.

A big plan that requires "huge" money to pile up.

This is also the reason why Guan Lin came to him this time.

Now...

In the courtyard, there is firewood in the stove, and a large black pot is placed on the firewood, and the soup made of chicken racks and mutton bones in the black pot is boiling and bubbling.

Guan Lin and Huang Chengyan are respectively dipping the ingredients that have been prepared into them.

For example, mutton, Guan Lin likes to eat older ones, often have to be soaked for sixty breaths, before taking it out, dipped in the juice made of pepper and sesame seeds and stuffed into his mouth, Huang Chengyan is an old man, his teeth are not good, and he can only eat tender ones... It is often only about ten breaths.

In addition, Huang Chengyan doesn't like dipping sauces, maybe the pepper is too numb, and the elderly can't stand it, but it's a vegetarian food, and he eats it with relish.

In this way, he is a vegetarian and Guan Lin eats meat, which complements each other, but makes the two eat each other.

"Let's talk about it..."

Huang Chengyan swallowed the mustard greens and slowly opened his mouth, "Come, let me hear, how much money did you kid make?" Do you dare to say that you want to realize our plan? ”

"100,000 grains! Almost, right? Guan Lin also swallowed the mutton, raised his eyes and looked at Huang Chengyan expectantly.

Hehe...

saw Huang Chengyan sneering, he seemed to be laughing at Guan Lin's stupidity and naivety, "Who told you?" Making 10,000 Qin crossbows, 100,000 grains is enough? ”

"100,000 is not enough?" Guan Lin was shocked...

Indeed, their plan was to make 10,000 Qin crossbows and equip them in the Han army.

With the advantage of range, when the cavalry of the Cao army charged, it was taken by surprise, and thousands of crossbows were fired in unison, and the crossbow arrows were overwhelming... Enough to shoot all the enemies who come in.

Of course, this needs to be kept secret, when the number of Qin crossbows does not reach a certain scale, even his father Guan Yu can't tell it.

Once it leaks out, the enemy army has a defense, and it is almost meaningless.

It's just that, listening to Huang Chengyan's meaning, 100,000 Hu grains is not enough?

"Hehe..." Huang Chengyan was sneering at this time, he raised his head and looked down at Guan Lin mockingly, "You kid, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about Qin Crossbow, right?" 100,000 grains are not enough for a fraction! ”
