Chapter 162: Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, capture the thief first, capture the king first
Zhao Ji, who was watching the enemy formation from the city tower, had already noticed the slim and heroic female marshal Fang Baihua under the enemy's banner with the word "handsome".
'Such a beautiful enemy female marshal, I must deal with you first to prevent you from harming others!'
"I want the enemy's female marshal to have a taste of the power of the eight-oxen crossbow, the most powerful weapon in my imperial army."
Zhao Ji understands the principle of "shooting the man first, shooting the horse, and catching the thief first, the king".
Now, Fang La's bandit army can attack the city so fearlessly, shouting to capture me alive as the 'dog emperor' and marry the female marshal Fang Baihua...
Damn it, I will let you, the female marshal who did not cherish her own body in order to capture me alive, taste the feeling of being shot through by the giant arrow fired by the Eight Ox Crossbow.
Zhao Ji thought of this, and looked down from the city tower at the eight oxen crossbows (i.e., three-bow crossbows) placed in the crenels around the city. He saw that at this time, this heavy "firepower" in the Song army was the killing weapon.
Although the giant arrow it shoots has a long range and is very powerful, it is very laborious and time-consuming to seal the javelin-like giant arrow again after it shoots again.
In fact, it has been a long time since I used the Eight Bull Crossbow to kill the enemy's official Seven Buddhas, who was the vanguard. The Eight Bull Crossbow had just finished encapsulating the giant arrow.
This is not because the dozens of Imperial Guards responsible for the Baniu don't work hard, but because it takes so long to re-encapsulate the Baniu crossbow after firing it once.
In fact, before the time traveler Zhao Ji traveled to the Song Dynasty, he read the records in history books and found that it took thirty people to draw the Eight Ox Crossbow.
Of course, this is the approximate amount of force required when the Eight Bull Crossbow is pulled apart.
However, now that Zhao Ji saw with his own eyes that when the Eight Bull Crossbow on the city was being pulled apart, he did not use more than thirty people to pull it apart.
The ancients were very smart. They installed a wheel-axle device similar to a ship's "rudder" on both sides of the back of the Eight-Niu Crossbow (i.e., the three-bow bed crossbow) that resembled a bed frame.
All it takes is a few Forbidden Soldiers to work together to shout slogans and quickly turn the wheel axle to the rear.
Using a labor-saving but laborious wheel axle to slowly drive the winch, the bow strings of the three strong bows connected to the eight-oxen crossbow device can be slowly opened at a speed visible to the naked eye but extremely slow...
After the three strong bow strings on the Eight Ox Crossbow are fully opened, a giant arrow like a javelin can be installed on the arrow path in the center of the crossbow arm.
