After Yang Hui's death, the invasion ended. According to the systematic assessment, Xia Qi finally obtained a silver treasure chest.

After re-hooking a battle-free token, Xia Qi looked through the report on his desk. This was the casualty report and loot statistics of the previous battle in Qingyan City.

The casualties in that war were actually not large. After all, before the reinforcements arrived, Qingniu, the defending general of Qingyan City, had always been guarding the city walls to avoid head-on conflicts between the two armies as much as possible, so the focus was on the trophy.

side.

Yang Hui really gave him a lot of good things, seized a large number of bronze shields, spears, bows and arrows, helmets and leather armor, plus three bed crossbows, a siege car and 521 surrendered soldiers.

.

Although there are risks in fighting, as long as you operate well and don’t fail, you will be able to get richer as you fight!

However, for Xia Qi now, the most valuable thing is not those weapons and equipment, but the more than 500 surrendered soldiers. After all, he is expanding his troops. Unlike the ordinary people of Daxia, he can directly throw these surrendered soldiers away.

When you go to the military camp, basically no one will have any objections.

As the basic base of Daxia became larger and larger, Xia Qi became more and more busy, but there were very few people who could help him with official duties. Zhang Liang was one, but this guy was still in charge of Tiqi's affairs.

Therefore, most of the time, Xia Qi is still busy alone.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty..."

Just as Xia Qi was busy handling official business, familiar shouts came from outside the hall.

There is only one person who can yell in such a place and not be stopped by the guards, and that is Xia Fox.

Before Xia Qi could look up, Xia fox rushed in.

"Your Majesty, look, the hand and crossbow is completed!" Xia Fox raised the hand and crossbow to Xia Qi's eyes like offering treasure.

What!?

Xia Qi, who was working with his head down, then raised his head.

Looking at the hand and crossbow in Xia Fox's hand, a hint of joy flashed in Xia Qi's eyes.

Finally finished?

The hand and crossbow in front of me was bigger than Xia Qi imagined, but that's right. According to Daxia's current technology, it's hard to make a hand and crossbow that is too small.

Xia Qi estimated that the ability to create such a piece was thanks to the role played by Xia Fox in it.

"Have you ever tested it?"

"I just completed the final debugging and haven't had a formal test shot yet, Your Majesty." Xia Fox replied casually.

"Then I'm going to try it myself."

Xia Qi obviously also became very interested in hand and crossbow. After all, this thing is,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There is basically no chance to play in the real world.

Several people came to an open space outside the hall and quickly confirmed the operation method with Xia Huli. Xia Qi, who was half involved in the research, was not difficult to get started. It was when the string was pulled.

It's really hard, but there is nothing to do with it. It's one of the clear flaws of the hand crossbow.

If the bed crossbow is equivalent to a siege cannon in the era of cold weapons, then the status of the hand crossbow is basically equivalent to a pistol in the era of cold weapons.

Standing on the open space, Xia Qi fiddled with the hand and crossbow in his hand as if he was decent, and then aimed at the wooden target that had just been moved in front of him, which looked quite like that.

Then he pulled the trigger, and in the blink of an eye, everyone heard a dull sound of "Du". After that, everyone who reacted looked at the wooden target in the distance, and the crossbow arrow hit the red heart!

People present shouted, sayings like "Your Majesty's mighty" came one after another.

Listening to the praises from the people under his command and the system prompts, Xia Qi chuckled twice, but he did not become complacent, because he knew very well that one of the characteristics of hand and crossbow was that it had high accuracy and shot wooden targets.

That's it, as long as you become a little skilled, many people can achieve this effect, not how powerful he is.

By the way, archers and crossbowmen, as the rare long-range troops in the entire era of cold weapons, there is no doubt that there will be a large number of people who are full and have nothing to do if they are tired.

Put these two troops together for comparison, and once this kind of problem occurs, all kinds of rhythmic and some assumed leverage will also appear. In the end, this matter will probably be stirred up in a row.

A fight between battle.

To put it simply, there is actually no conflict between the existence of these two weapons. It’s like when you have an electric car, you have to ask the whole world to eliminate the bicycle and stop the bicycle production. It’s purely a disease.

Going back to the point, archers attack mainly relies on human power, while crossbow soldiers launch an attack rely on mechanical power. Under this premise, the branches of the two armies have been clearly separated.

In a war in the cold weapon era, there is also a clear statement that usually when two armies fight, the crossbows first take the first volley, and then the crossbows are fired, followed by the archers and the archers are fired in three volleys.

The enemy will come to the front, and finally the frontal battle between the two armies.

A lot of information can be drawn from this description alone. First, from the order of attack, the length of the effective range can be basically confirmed. Then, the crossbow and crossbow soldiers basically have only one round of mobile phones in the confrontation between the two armies.

Archers have three rounds, and in the words of some shooting game players, the archers reload fast enough.

In fact, Xia Qi had a personal experience just now. It was indeed quite difficult to pull a string with a crossbow, but does it have no advantage? Of course, there are advantages. Although it is slow to play, it is

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The victory lies in the stable output.

In other words, this is the advantage of mechanical force. Under normal circumstances, no matter how many times the hand crossbow is fired, the power, range and rate of fire of its crossbow arrow are basically maintained on a parallel line, but if it is replaced by a bow and arrow

, Because it is human power, the strength of the archer arm is greatly lost, and the power and accurate head will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

Finally, the advantages of the bow are simple structure, lightweight, fast loading speed and flexible! The advantages of the hand and crossbow are strong penetration force, high accuracy, and fast shooting speed.

At the same time, it is precisely because of the fast firing speed and strong penetration force that the crossbow soldiers can almost cause a devastating blow to the cavalry units under certain appropriate opportunities!

After shooting a few more arrows, Xia Qi, who seemed to remember something, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly called Xia Fox over, and said and gestured. After hearing this, Xia Fox's eyes lit up.

"This is simple, it will be done soon, wait for me."

Xia Fox's movements were indeed very fast. Not long after, he ran back with the hand and crossbow again. At this time, there was something suspected to be a stirrup on the front end of the hand and crossbow.

In fact, it is indeed similar. Because this thing is called a crossbow stirrup, he took the simple modified hand from Xia Fox. After the crossbow, Xia Qi stepped on the crossbow stirrup with one foot, and had such a borrowing

After the force point, he suddenly felt clearly that the whole process of pulling the crossbow and loading the crossbow arrow became much easier, and at the same time, he inevitably harvested another wave of praise.

"Anyway, just follow this style and make a little more improvement. After confirming that the second improvement cannot be carried out in a short period of time, draw the design drawing and write a report. After that, I will call the people from the Ordnance Production Department to go.

It is produced."
