Chapter 22 The sharpness first appears

The sun shines through the branches and leaves of the pine trees, and shines into round and small circle spots

The three of us sat under the small tea tent under the big tree, sweating and resting with our backs.

I bent down and beat my thighs that were sore from riding a horse

Miss Gu Chen poured a cup of tea and handed it to me

Well, thank you, I took it with a smile, and sipped it with a small mouthful of Gu Chen and Han Yi, who were given to me by my father.

Miss, Gu Chen bowed his hands and lowered his eyes, but his expression was still as calm as before

I have been away for a few days, and I don’t know what the situation is now in the military camp?

Changkongyu was in a coma several times because of my "death". When Gu Chen said that when he was transported away, Changkongyu fainted again.

I always knew Changkongyu's affection for me, but I never knew that this affection would be so deep that it would be so deep that it would be so "deep several times"!

Inexplicably, my heart was sore and my throat was sore. How could such a man not be moved by him?

Miss, don't worry, the Xiangye and the Changkong Army's mentor are wise and wise, this war will definitely end soon. Han Yi smiled and comforted him.

I glanced back at him and smiled indifferently. Han Yi, although I have never been to the battlefield, I am not an ignorant woman and child. You don’t have to use these words to make excuse me. I paused, took a sip of tea, and continued to say, Gui Yuegu has always been the most famous for his mechanical skills, which is well known to everyone, and I also saw with my own eyes that Feng Wu turned an umbrella in his hand into a long sword in an instant!

Yi Ye Zhiqiu, you can imagine that the weapons in his soldiers are certain. In the era of cold weapons, holding advanced weapons undoubtedly takes the lead in the battlefield and improves the combat effectiveness of generals. Besides, Feng Shi is a master of poison use... No matter how 'strategic and wise' his father and husband are, it is difficult to deal with it easily. This battle... I am afraid it will take several years to fight. I analyzed it lightly, but I was extremely anxious in my heart. This war is just a weak side. No matter from any aspect, we are just a weak side.

Gu Chen's face was shocked. It was obvious that he could not have imagined that a little girl could have such extraordinary insights and couldn't help but feel awe from the bottom of her heart. She is worthy of being the daughter of Baili Xiangye.

If I were still in a peaceful era, I would enjoy the protection of my father and Changkongyu with peace of mind, but now they are all facing an extremely powerful enemy on the battlefield!

How could I leave here with peace of mind?

And if this war lasts for a few more years, I am afraid that such a prosperous era will be far away and the people will definitely suffer.

The most important thing in the era of cold weapons is weapons. Having novel weapons can often change the end of a war

But although there were many powerful weapons in my previous life, I don’t know many weapons but not many.

──Except in my previous life, I really like a weapon: a crossbow

I remember that for this preference, I searched the Internet wildly and found a large number of methods for making crossbows.

Crossbows have a long history in China. They have become military darlings during the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, and became the most numerous weapon in the military equipment during the Qin and Han Dynasties (Qin Shihuang’s ability to unify the world has a lot to do with his advanced weapons)

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, some large crossbows appeared, among which Zhuge Liang's Zhuge crossbow was the most well-known. After further development in the Tang Dynasty, the manufacturing and application of crossbows reached the peak of the most brilliant crossbows in the Song Dynasty.

──Because after this, the crossbow gradually faded out of the Chinese military stage

Crossbows originate from bows, and bows are born from bullets. Crossbows can be said to be close relatives of bows. In the world in the previous life, people also liked to call bows and crossbows together "bows and crossbows", but bows were found in many countries in the previous life, but crossbows were only the only one in China.

──China can be said to be the only country in the world in its previous life to develop and grow weapons like crossbows.

This is an era that is somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese background, but after all, it is not our era. This era has bows and no crossbows.

I was immediately excited. If I made the crossbow, I would definitely help my father and Changkongyu!

But, I only know one general method of manufacturing crossbows

The most important thing to transform this knowledge into a real crossbow is to find a unique carpenter. In ancient times, who was more capable of making weapons than Guiyue Valley?

So, I want to find someone to make a crossbow, Yu Mu from Guiyue School is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate

After a while, I looked up and asked, how long will it take to get to Guiyue Valley from here?

Miss, the prime minister wants us to send you back to Beijing! Gu Chen frowned and said

I waved my hand and said lazily, don't advise me first, you can buy me pens and ink and white silk for me, and then decide whether I want to go back to Beijing now after you have seen the patterns I have drawn.

***

It took me a whole afternoon to describe the figures in my head in detail on the white silk

I spread out a white silk, and saw the detailed manufacturing drawings of the annotation, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

I opened the door of the inn and called them in.

Miss, this is not polite. Gu Chen took a step back, stood tall and straight at the door and did not enter.

In the extraordinary period, you can avoid those rules for the time being. I rubbed my forehead and felt a headache for the ancients' "men and women are not allowed to get along with each other."

Seeing that they were still stunned at the door and refused to come in, I raised my face and ordered, "Don't be too slow for me, and I won't come in!"

They bowed to me at the same time before they stepped into the door.

I flattened the white silk cloth on the round table and glanced at them. Standing closer, they stood so far, how could they see the figure clearly?

They moved their whole body stiffly and walked closer to me a few steps, but the distance was still a bit far away, but I thought they could see it with their eyesight, so I won't say anything more

I pointed to the structure diagram on the silk cloth and explained slowly, the name I drew on the picture is called a crossbow, and this crossbow can automatically pull strings and automatically load arrows.

The box above is called an arrow box. You can put some iron arrows in advance. The two iron arrows on the bottom layer can be shot out from the hole in the front. After the shooting is completed, the crossbow arrows on the upper layer will automatically sink to complete the second shooting. The speed of the shooting is increased, which is to master the opportunity to the battlefield.

This is called a connecting rod, which is combined with the original leverage - I suddenly thought that the ancients might not know what leverage is. Uh, that is, after using this connecting rod, the bowstring, which had to be used by the archer, could be pulled easily under the action of this connecting rod.

I heard that archers can fire up to fifteen to twenty arrows. If they continue, they will fall down because they are exhausted.

(In the film and television works of my previous life, the most common scenes are that archers are lined up in several rows. After shooting a few in front, they retreat to the back, and the archers in the second row replace the first row, and so on. The circular shooting scene is grand and the momentum is shocking!)

Seeing that they were still confused, I had to explain it clearly. For example, a bowstring requires fifty kilograms of pulling force to pull it open. After using this connecting rod, you can pull the bow with just twenty-five pounds, which will save the strength of the archer soldiers...

The crossbow arrow needs to be launched on the crossbow machine, so its length is directly related to the length of the crossbow machine. Since the length of the crossbow arrow directly affects the launch effect (it is too light to shoot deep, too heavy to shoot far), so the length of the crossbow arrow is designed to be eight inches (about 20 cm) if you consider the seriousness.

Historical records show that the crossbow arrow of Zhuge's crossbow is about eight inches long, so this one is also determined to be eight inches long.

As for the bow on it, let’s use bamboo to make it. In ancient times, it seemed that I could not find any better bow-making materials than bamboo.

Miss, can we try its effect? ​​Han Yi touched her chin, obviously very interested in the crossbow on my picture

Well, okay, you guys try to make one first and try the effect. I nodded and stuffed the structure diagram of the crossbow on the table into Han Yi's hand

***

So they made a bow and crossbow with these graphics

Han Yi lifted the crossbow, aimed the small hole at the big tree, pulled the hanging knife, raised the connecting rod upwards, pulled the bowstring, pulled the bowstring to the position of the slot, and then pulled the connecting rod downwards. Due to the pressure, the two crossbow arrows were shot out from the two small holes and inserted into the tree pole.

Because there were iron arrows in the arrow box, Han Yi shot many arrows in succession.

Not only can this thing shoot two arrows at once, but as long as there are arrows in the cassette, you can continuously fire arrows out

Gu Chen's face is full of shock

This kind of mechanism is very magical. If it can be used on the battlefield, it will undoubtedly be a blessing for our army and the people.

And the strength I used was very small, and as the lady said, I could pull the bow with half of my strength. The lady is indeed an extraordinary person

***

Miss! We tried one, and the effect was as the lady said. Gu Chenming's tone became much more respectful, not the initial polite respect, but the respect for the "idol".

I glanced at him in a bad habit. I'm not smarter than you, I just read more books, so don't look at me in such a tone or look like this

Shiver, being looked at by the arrogant and arrogant person on the usual eyes, I was immediately uncomfortable

Yes, Miss Gu Chen blushed and lowered his head

I took the crossbow they made and played with it in my hand, aimed it at a reference object, and shot it out now, and I can pull it away, and it is very easy to use.

Miss, we can produce this kind of crossbow in large quantities, Gu Chen said

Yes, I nodded, I mean it

Miss, then I'll go find a craftsman now. Han Yi smiled and said, "I can't wait to run out."

I shook my head and quickly stopped him, no need to look for it, let's go to Guiyue Valley

Miss, we can directly find craftsmen to do it, why bother to go to Guiyue Valley? Han Yi looked back

The crossbow we made now is not very lethal enough. I think if it can be improved by Guiyue Valley, its power will definitely increase several times.

Will the Lord Gui Yue agree? Han Yi asked

Gu Chen frowned and thought deeply, don't be careful. The reason why Guiyuegu's mechanism is so powerful is that he has accepted a large number of folk skills and accumulated the skills of various schools. Yu Mu will definitely agree to accept it after seeing it.

Of course, I smiled proudly. The pictures of crossbows in my hand will definitely attract his attention. There is no doubt about this. After all, crossbows have been used for thousands of years in ancient China.

Han Yi sighed softly, I naturally know these things, but how should we let Yu Mu give us the crossbow he made? This question is the most troublesome

When I lowered my eyebrows and raised my eyes, my eyes were filled with determination. Let's try it for a moment. I have a premonition that Yu Mu will definitely promise to help us build crossbows.
