Great Qin's long-range attacks paid more attention to archers. Wang Ben had an elite army of archers in his hands, with about 100,000 people. Every strike from the archers was very terrifying. With the blessing of military strength,
It also gave the rebels a headache.
Great Qin's logistics were very complete. As long as they were defending the city, facing a hundred thousand archers, the rebels suffered a devastating blow before they even got close to the city several thousand meters away.
An ordinary steel shield cannot stop the arrows shot by the archers. After all, the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty in this era are all strongmen. According to the Qin Dynasty's classification of martial arts, the lowest strongman should have a weight of three thousand kilograms.
It means lifting a three thousand kilogram stone pier with one arm.
Coupled with the powerful bow and arrow, the power of the arrows fired one by one is comparable to the sniper rifles of later generations.
With the blessing of military energy, the power becomes even more terrifying.
However, this kind of strong bow also consumes a lot of energy. An ordinary strongman will have to stop and rest after bending the bow dozens or hundreds of times. Otherwise, his arms will not be able to continue bending the bow.
But now, this new strong bow was tried once in Zhang Liang's hands. He imitated an ordinary warrior soldier and fired it. The arrow seemed to turn into a meteor, and it instantly hit a boulder a thousand meters away.
In an instant, I saw the huge rock being bombarded by a stream of light, and it exploded into pieces.
The power of the bow is only about one-tenth of its original strength, but its power has been increased by at least three times.
"Good bow!"
Outsiders only saw the power of this bow and arrow. The people present, apart from the craftsmen, were military generals, especially Wang Jian, who had risen step by step from a small soldier to his current position.
He is very familiar with military bows and arrows.
He knew very well that the power of the bows and arrows in the Qin army, especially the standard strong bows, was far from reaching this level.
He naturally felt that Zhang Liang did not use other means. As for strengthening the power, the strong bow also had its limits.
It turns out that Da Qin's standard strong bow cannot reach this level anyway.
Now after improvements, if all the Qin army uses this powerful bow in Zhang Liang's hands, then the strength of the Qin army will be improved by a few points.
The role of bows and arrows was very huge in the Qin army.
The stronger the bows and arrows, the more useful they will be for their defense. With their backs on the city wall, Da Qin's army can exert the greatest power of its archers.
Over the years, every time the rebels attacked, they were met with devastating blows by Qin's archers, which each time weakened the opponent's morale and strength.
Now that the power of this bow and arrow has been increased by three times, the effect achieved by then will probably be even more terrifying.
"Good bow, good bow! With this bow, my confidence in resisting the rebels has been strengthened."
"Nansun, can this bow be made on a large scale?"
Wang Ben on the side was also full of enthusiasm. He looked at the bow in Zhang Liang's hand and couldn't help but look at Nan Sundao.
"Ha ha!"
"General Wang Ben, this bow has more than just these effects. You can try it yourself."
Zhang Liang came to his senses, threw the strong bow in his hand to Wang Ben, and said with a smile.
"Really? Let me give it a try."
Wang Ben reached out and grabbed the strong bow in his hand, picked up an arrow, and then bent the bow instantly. At the moment of bending the bow, he raised his brows and already knew what Zhang Liang meant just now.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and I saw again that three thousand meters away, the thick iron wood surrounded by three people had been smashed into pieces, but the arrow still had some remaining power, and penetrated seven or eight giant trees one after another.
"good!"
All Wang Ben's soldiers couldn't help shouting.
"The strength required to bend this bow only requires one-tenth or two of the original strength."
Wang Ben said with a bit of excitement.
As soon as these words came out, Wang Jian was really moved. Originally, the power of this strong bow exceeded the original Qin Army's standard bow and arrow. Originally, he thought that such a powerful strong bow might require more strength.
At that time, archers may bend their bows less frequently.
But he didn't expect that this powerful bow actually required less force. He was a little surprised.
Wang Jian naturally knew that Wang Ben would not be confused about this. Such a strong bow is simply incredible. Once this new strong bow can be built on a large scale, it will be terrifying for the improvement of the Qin army.
Wang Jian couldn't help but look at Su Fan, the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.
This person gave him too many surprises.
The appearance of Gai Nie only temporarily solved the threat of the rebel Jinxian. The existence of Gai Nie could not bring any improvement to the Qin army.
Gai Nie is just a top expert. Maybe in some special situations, Gai Nie can play a big role.
But at this moment, in Wang Jian's heart, Su Fan's status far surpassed that of Gai Nie. No matter how strong Gai Nie was, he was still Taiyi Golden Immortal.
This strength is indeed good, and it can be ranked at the forefront of the Qin army. However, Wang Jian knows that even if Ge Nie has military skills, he is only the commander-in-chief of one side.
The improvement of Da Qin's overall army is not significant.
But Su Fan is different. With the optimization of this bow and arrow alone, the strength of other archers, not to mention, can definitely be improved several times.
You need to know how many archers the Qin army has, no less than three million.
Especially on the northern border, the guarding legions, archers and crossbowmen on the Great Wall are the best weapons to deal with the grassland barbarians and the Huns.
Archers, in particular, were the most lethal to the Xiongnu.
Compared with the Xiongnu, the strength of the cavalry of the Qin Dynasty may not be worse than that of the Xiongnu, but in terms of quantity, it is far inferior to the Xiongnu.
The training of cavalry itself is quite difficult.
The Xiongnu were all on horseback, and the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty were different. First of all, it took some time to train on horseback.
Next is the war horse.
The requirements for cavalry on horses are still very high, especially in this mythical world. The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty have been trained to be physically strong, and their body weight is also far higher than that of ordinary people.
Ordinary war horses cannot drag soldiers weighing hundreds or even thousands of kilograms at high speed on the battlefield.
Only those war horses with enhanced bloodline can serve as cavalry horses.
It is not easy to train these war horses.
On the grassland, it is much easier for these war horses. Secondly, the grassland barbarians have special methods to improve the bloodline of the war horses.
Therefore, it was not suitable for Da Qin to compete with cavalry, so they had archers.
In particular, the Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty in the north can resist the Huns' army. With the long-range attack of this bow and arrow, it can severely attack the Huns in the north.
Now that the strong bow has been optimized, it will be easier for the Qin Dynasty to deal with the Xiongnu in the north, and the blow will be greater.
This is definitely a good thing for the Qin Empire.
Weaken the Xiongnu and allow the Qin's iron hoof to penetrate deep into the grassland. In the past, soldiers and horses may have been limited, but now the number of archers has increased several times, then it may be possible to destroy the Xiongnu. ()
