Chapter 771: The First Crossbow
The time has come to the end of February, Ding Fen and the other five people have eaten a month's flesh and blood of demonic beasts, among which Ding Fen and Lu Yang have improved a lot in strength and physical strength, and Ding Cai, Xue Chong and Wan Ban are relatively few. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The monster is Ao Yu and Ao Yan went hunting together, and Ao Yan sent it back to the Yongsheng base, Xue Chong led people to slaughter and cook, and Ding Kui would often make a cameo appearance as a cook.
"Only below the fourth level of combat power can have a significant effect, and the cost of this method is too high. Ding Kui was reviewing the gains and losses, "I want to use the highest level of power to obtain resources, but the results are a bit unsatisfactory."
Simply improving strength and physical strength is most beneficial to the samurai, but the samurai also need to master the use of a variety of weapons, and without a certain amount of training time, they cannot form combat effectiveness, which is not a shortcut. ”
"Are there any simple weapons? the kind that doesn't take too long to learn. "Liu Yu didn't have a better way.
"The strength is big enough to throw things far enough, and the extra guns can break through the dense formation. Hey, no, the tactics are too simple. Fei Ze put forward an idea and was immediately rejected by himself.
"Throwing guns? Ding Kui thought of a weapon, "Crossbow, no, strong crossbow, the premise is that there must be a suitable ordnance." The activation of the crossbow is simple, it only needs to be aimed at the target, and the power of a single use is not great, and it is very terrifying to use it in a group. ”
"What is a crossbow? I think I've heard of you, but I've never seen one. The old man had an impression of the word "crossbow".
"How long does it take for an average samurai to learn to use a crossbow?" Liu Yu didn't know what a crossbow was, but in his eyes it was a weapon.
"Well, let Team Xue and Uncle Jiang come over, and the six of us will have a secret meeting. Ding Kui felt the need to gather the center to discuss.
Two high-level thinkers, two high-level archers, a veteran, plus Ding Kui, a total of six people surrounded a drawing.
On the drawing is a sketch of a crossbow machine.
"Crossbows are similar to bows, and the biggest feature is that they can be stored in advance, so that the crossbow arrows are ready to be fired at any time, and they can be fired with just a finger click. Ding Kui pointed to the drawings and explained to everyone.
"It's the same principle as the hidden weapon trap, it's equivalent to adding a little trap to a bow, and I can make it at any time. Shi Jiang understood at a glance.
"Similar to the bow but very different, first of all, the crossbow does not have as many techniques as the bow, secondly, the crossbow does not have the fast rate of fire of the bow, and thirdly, the crossbow arrow does not have a feather and is unstable in the air. "Chamboo is sophisticated in pointing out the multiple shortcomings of the crossbow.
"But in terms of direct fire, the same archer is more powerful with a crossbow, because a stronger bowstring can be pulled apart by means of a mechanism. Shi Jiang's mind was constantly analyzing the sketch of the crossbow.
"You don't have to put in the effort to hold it in your hand to aim, and you can pull the trigger only after locking on to the target, as long as someone with no eye problem can master it with training, which is much less demanding than using a bow and arrow. Ding Kui pointed out a key point of the crossbow.
"Oh, so the crossbow is just aiming and pulling the trigger. Liu Yu heard the point.
"No, strictly speaking, there's one more step ahead. This time it was added that Shi Jiang was added, and Fei Ze still looked at the sketch with a confused expression.
"I think I'll use it too, and I can shoot at least a chicken within thirty paces. Fei Ze finally reacted.
"It's boring to look at the picture, give me an afternoon, I can make a real sample according to the picture, and the young master will point out on the side. The old man said, nodding to the drawings.
Ding Kui said in a rare serious tone: "That's fine, everyone will go and get busy first, and we'll get together after dinner." One thing to remember is that the crossbow should never be mentioned to anyone else, and it must be kept in the highest confidence. ”
The old man spread out the materials in the room and said to Ding Kui: "The crossbow is similar to the bow, and the main power comes from the elasticity of the bow arm.
The best bow arm is, of course, the horns of the Monster, but that number is too small for a large amount of equipment, so it is reserved for high-level archers.
The second is the black caryophyllus, which is as strong as iron and stone, and is the material of choice for the military to make bows and arrows. ”
He picked up a dark green bamboo from the ground and began to make the bow arm.
Ding Kui was not idle, he took out a tendon from his arms and put it on the table, and said, "This is the tendon of the fifth-level earth-turning dragon, is it suitable to be used as a bowstring?"
The old man glanced at it and said, "It's so thick, unless you magnify the crossbow several times, you won't need it at all." ”
"How many times? yes, the bed crossbow must be useful. Ding Kui slapped his thigh.
"What is a bed crossbow?"
"The bed crossbow is a larger crossbow machine, equivalent to a trebuchet and other city defense tools, and can also be used in field battles if you can preset positions. Ding Kui knows that no one can understand the words he throws out now, and he can't do it without explanation.
"Oh, it's an enlarged version of the crossbow. ”
"Yes, you can also combine multiple bows and arms together, and you can shoot huge arrows that are thicker than a throwing spear. ”
The old man stopped what he was doing and looked down to imagine.
"Hey, in front of this kind of instrument, the fine armor is also like paper paste, how did you come up with it?"
Ding Kui walked to the closed window, looked out through the crack in the window, and said, "One night I dreamed that it was very vague, and then I drew a picture from memory. ”
He really didn't have a better explanation for the provenance of the crossbow, and even if he told the truth, no one would believe him.
"Awesome, the young master's dreams are different from ordinary people, it should be the blessing of the master mother in the Eternal Sanctuary. "All the old man could think of was the ethereal Eternal Sanctuary.
"What is this?" Ding Kui saw the old man take out a dark golden thread as a bowstring.
"This is the snake tendon of the golden snake, the golden snake is produced in the poisonous fog canyon of the old mansion, its tendon is extremely tough, and it is the most suitable to use it as the string of the first crossbow. ”
Considering the special significance of the first crossbow, the old money head did not use all the materials for mass production, but used materials from Ding Kui's hometown.
"There is still such a good thing in the Poisonous Mist Canyon, are there many golden snakes in it?" This really surprised Ding Kui.
"No, I walked around the canyon for two days and found a golden snake. The old man's answer disappointed Ding Kui.
The secret meeting was held again after dinner, and a delicately crafted crossbow was placed on the table.
"This crossbow is estimated to shoot at a distance of two hundred meters at most, and the arms cannot be fully drawn without thousands of pounds of strength, and the arrow with special characteristics can shoot through heavy armor at 100 meters, and can shoot through sperm armor within 50 meters. "The old money man will give you a brief introduction.
Fei Ze picked up the crossbow, aimed at the window, then put it down, and said, "I estimate that I can shoot a person running within fifty meters in a few days of practice." ”
"So confident?" this is a question from Liu Yu.
"It's faster than a sword, and it's easier to aim than the tip of a sword, so you can hit it if you anticipate it accurately. Fei then stated his basis.
Xue Chong, who had been silent, finally made a move, picked up the crossbow and observed it over and over again, and the others were silent when they saw this, waiting for the veteran with rich military knowledge to give advice.
Whew, Xue Chong aimed at Shi Jiang and pulled the trigger.
Shi raised his hand and grasped the crossbow arrow steadily.
"It's just that the difficulty of opening the string is too great, at least the samurai can be pulled open, and the other operations can be completed even by children, and if the command is right, a squadron's crossbow can completely abuse the cavalry of a squadron. ”
Xue Chong flipped the crossbow on his shoulder, clamped the crossbow body with his chin, and clasped the bowstring with his fingers, and actually used one hand to make the bowstring.
"If two people cooperate in front and back, after a period of training, the war horse can shoot at least three rounds of salvos within a hundred meters of sprint, and even if the cavalry can win, it will be a miserable victory. This crossbow is amazing!"
In a short period of time, Xue Chong completed the deduction of several tactics, and he couldn't put down the crossbow even more.
"You can borrow some tools to make it easier to open the strings, such as adding a lever, which can increase the user's strength by five to ten times. Ding Kui thought of the principle of leverage.
"That's right," Shi Jiang also thought of this, "If two people cooperate to operate, then you can make a more complex device, and you only need two hundred catties of force to pull this crossbow away." ”
"This is a single-shot crossbow, and it can be studied with multiple shots in the future. ”
"Attaching a sight to a crossbow can help improve the hit rate. ”
Ding Kui put forward his ideas one after another.
"If this is improved, the appearance of the crossbow will increase the number of troops. Xue Chong affirmed the role of the crossbow in warfare.
The old man said slowly: "The crossbow is undoubtedly a big killing weapon, but its principle and production process are very simple, we can use it, and others can also use it." ”
"That's right, as long as we make it, the equipment department will definitely ask for the production method, and it won't work if we don't give it to them. Liu Yu was more worried about the Commander's Mansion.
The military does not allow the secrecy of the weapons of war to remain in private hands.
"Let's not make crossbows in large quantities, first improve this one as much as possible, and at the same time train and reserve samurai, and find a substitute to practice aiming when training, once equipped with crossbows in the future, it can form combat effectiveness in a very short time. "Ding Kui has already thought of a plan.
"Yes, everyone knows the seriousness of the matter, and you must not divulge the secret of the crossbow, otherwise, hum. The old man said menacingly.
"It's impossible for me to go to the Commander's Mansion to report and ask for merit, but I hope that the first crossbowmen unit in the future will be trained by me. If Xue Chong reveals the secret of the crossbow, then neither I nor my family will die a good death. ”
Xue Chong realized that he was the least trusted one in this circle, so he took the lead in making a heavy oath.
Liu Yu and Fei Ze also learned from Xue Chong to make an oath.
"The young general and I are followers of the young master, revealing the secret is tantamount to betrayal, and even my teacher's reputation will be affected......"
"Alright, alright, don't swear, to let you participate in the secret meeting is to trust everyone completely, just take it seriously. Ding Kui interrupted the old man's words.
"Team Xue. He turned his head at Xue Chong.
"The boss has something to ask. Xue Chong publicly made it clear that he was a subordinate.
"The caravan can recruit more newcomers, select an honest and reliable individual team, and add the skills of using crossbows to their training. "Ding Kui is preparing to create a crossbowman unit.
