Chapter 385: Strong Bow

Including Liang Xiao, everyone was deeply surprised.

Even Qin Baili couldn't figure out Gongsun Xunfeng's thoughts.

The Gongsun family's feelings for the Great Zhou court are complicated, they have the heart to be self-reliant, they dare not betray, and they don't want to tear their faces in peacetime.

The royal family only left a pair of sisters, which made Gongsun Xunfeng's mind more active.

If the country collapses and everything falls apart, the Gongsun family will not hesitate to chase the Central Plains.

Letting Gongsun Wuji take the initiative to support the northern border is equivalent to contributing to the maintenance of the rule of the Great Zhou.

"Gongsun Wuji's current official position in the government and the opposition is General Zhenxi, and he is already at the same level as me." Liang Xiao was thoughtful.

If he accepts Gongsun Yue in the future, this Gongsun Wuji will be his brother-in-law.

But he also had some doubts.

It is impossible for the Gongsun family to show favor so easily because he was "shocked by the spirit of the king", seeing that Yanzhou was stable and beheaded Beihu four or five thousand, it was pure nonsense.

"If he comes, he won't be willing to be subordinate, but he will ......" Qin Xun rarely expressed worry.

According to the information sent by Bashu, the Gongsun family obviously had different intentions.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Liang Xiao said solemnly: "The official document from the imperial court has been delivered, I believe that he and his subordinates will arrive in Yanzhou soon, see what his attitude is." Either way, the military order is like a mountain. ”

Seeing that Liang Xiao was serious, Qin Baili couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, and could only pray that Gongsun Wuji would not cause a big incident.

"Rather than that, strengthening armaments is the top priority." Liang Xiao put away the official document and smiled mysteriously, "The weapons over there in the capital, especially the big bow and longbow, have been delivered, and they can assemble a part of the army." ”

The crowd rejoiced.

The power of the longbow and the great bow, they already understood.

"Is my brother really coming?"

Gongsun Yue, who was at work, was surprised and delighted when she heard the news.

This shameless big brother has a bit of a conscience!

But when I heard that Gongsun Wuji was here to help in the war, Gongsun Yue was also stunned.

Now, she can only pray that Gongsun Wuji will not have a conflict with Liang Xiao.

After all, although Liang Xiao is brazen on weekdays, once he does business......

Ram Ray was beheaded by him in the street.

In the barracks, the Liang family army, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry, and the archers in the local defenders of Yanzhou were all summoned here by Liang Xiao.

The 2,000 cavalry of the Liang family army belonged to the Liang family army and the Yanyun iron cavalry at the same time, and its importance is self-evident.

These two thousand cavalrymen have all made military merits and defeated the Beihu cavalry head-on, and now they are in the front row and have priority to enjoy the renewal of weapons.

The soldiers watched the logistics soldiers take out a big bow and walk towards them, and they were excited.

Big Bow!

They were notified in advance, and the content was simple: the powerful killing range of the big bow was more than 70 zhang, and the power was far greater than that of the traditional horse bow!

The advantage of a powerful killing range of seventy zhang alone is enough to make everyone crazy!

Isn't any big bow at the "famous bow" level?

It's just that it takes a certain amount of time for this kind of big bow to be made from the selection of materials, and it has only been transported from the capital to Yanzhou until now.

A large bow was distributed to the cavalry of the Liang family's army.

Everyone picked it up and looked at it carefully, full of anticipation.

The bow was indeed much larger than an ordinary horse bow.

Lei Hong and others had seen the sample bow test of the big bow before, and the power was extraordinary, and the big bow that was made in a hurry was still used at that time, because of the rush relationship, it was easy to collapse.

And now the craftsmanship of these big bows is extremely mature, and they are only stronger than those similar bows.

"If this bow is pulled with all its strength on a horse, it will be extremely powerful within seventy zhang, and the head will be uncertain after seventy zhang. Infantry draws bows and can have a range of at least 80 zhang. ”

Liang Xiao's explanation made the soldiers ecstatic.

If you can shoot 70 feet on a horse, wouldn't that be at least twice the effective range of the enemy?!

This double the effective range is enough to determine the victory or defeat of two cavalry!

Lei Hong's archery skills are also quite high, and the large bow equipped with is made of the best materials, and it is said that the range can reach 80 zhang at once.

Dong Lian and others, as horsemen, naturally gave priority to the big bow.

"Master Hou, can you try it?"

The crowd is eager to try.

Liang Xiao naturally agreed.

Dong Lian took the big bow, was the first to come out of the ranks, and galloped on the school field.

"Whew!"

The off-string arrow ran to a row of twenty targets seventy zhang away, and hit the fourth ring of the fifth target on the left, and was firmly nailed to the target.

Dong Lian was not satisfied, and deliberately shot a crooked arrow.

The second arrow hit the wall behind the target, more than eighty and fifty zhang away from the red line where Dong Lian was located!

"Eighty-five zhang away can shoot into the wall, how powerful is it?!"

There was a burst of cheers and cheers at the scene.

Accuracy of archery on the battlefield is important, but the longer the effective killing range, the better.

If you don't hit your intended target, it's also great to shoot other enemies.

Dong Lian licked his dry lower lip excitedly, his eyes shining.

As a cavalry general, he usually uses the first-class bow in the army, and the effective shooting range in peacetime is only fifty zhang.

After all, it is a little more difficult to draw the bow right away, and the power is almost reasonable.

All the soldiers clenched the big bow in their hands one after another, as if they had obtained a treasure, for fear of being snatched away.

Zhuge Yu and the others were beside Liang Xiao, watching Dong Lian and others perform riding and shooting, and their eyes were so excited that they were about to bulge out.

This kind of big bow at the level of "famous bow" in Da Zhou has an energy output of thousands?

But soon everyone's eyes fell on the longbow again.

This longbow is not small, and it is not suitable for immediate use, so it is best used by foot archers.

The effective range of the longbow is said to be higher than that of the great bow......

"Whew!"

An archer of the Liang Jiajun pulled the bowstring of the longbow, and the arrow from the string directly penetrated the second ring of the arrow target in the distance, causing a burst of exclamation.

"The arrow target that is 90 zhang away was actually shot through?!"

Immediately afterwards, the archer took another hundred steps back and continued to play the full string.

The arrow from the string, after flying out of the hundreds, had obviously lost its accuracy and shot into the wall behind that row of arrow targets.

"In addition to one hundred and fifty zhang, there is also lethality?!"

The archers almost jumped in excitement.

This range is almost more than half of the range of the traditional Great Zhou bow and arrow!

Moreover, very few of the bows and arrows of the Great Zhou can be shot through the arrow targets, and the bottom plates of those arrow targets are made of hardwood.

The longbow is still piercing the target at a distance of ninety zhang, so powerful......

"Ordinary leather armor will never be able to block a longbow and arrow, even if it is iron armor, it is likely to be shot through if it is closer!"

The green tendons on Lin Xiu's neck flared up, and his praise was more like a roar.

Qin Baili and Qin Xun looked at the longbow in the archer's hand in a daze, and their hearts were already turbulent.

That bow, which seems to have a simple structure, is so powerful......

Only Liang Xiao was smiling and in a good mood.

The shape of the big bow is actually the Manchurian bow of the hometown.

The longbow was one of the most dazzling weapons in the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France.

If it weren't for the limited number of high-quality yew trees in China, Liang Xiao would have wished that all archers in the Great Zhou could be equipped with a longbow.
