/s日pt>When Chui Gong Palace issued the edict to mobilize troops, Zhao Hongrun was designing drawings for improved arrows in the room where the Smelting Bureau handled official business.
To be precise, it is a drawing that has been improved for arrowheads.
The so-called arrowheads, in layman's terms, are arrowheads made of metal.
The arrowheads currently used by the Wei army are commonly known as double-winged arrowheads.
Double-winged arrowheads are divided into solid round collar type and hollow spear type.
The solid round collar type inserts the arrowhead into the hollow arrow shaft to fix it; while the hollow collar type inserts the arrow shaft directly into the hole at the tail of the arrowhead to fix it.
The characteristics of this kind of arrowhead are that the arrowhead is flat with a slight arc, and the blades on both wings have a few barbs, so that the person who was hit by the arrow will suffer a second pain when removing the arrow, which is already relatively lethal.
The arrow was shot.
It is no exaggeration to say that the arrowheads currently used by various countries in the Central Plains are all double-winged arrowheads, and their penetrating power is stronger than the original arrowheads.
But it is a pity that the development of the double-winged arrows has reached this stage, and it has reached its peak, and there is no longer any possibility.
Therefore, Zhao Hongrun decided to abandon this double-winged arrowhead and choose its evolved type, the three-edged arrowhead, as the standard arrowhead used by the Wei army.
In fact, to be precise, the evolved form of the double-winged arrowhead is the three-winged arrowhead, and the three-winged arrowhead is an improved product based on the three-winged arrowhead.
The difference between the two is that compared with the double-winged arrowhead, the three-winged arrowhead only has one more wing (one blade), and the blade is still flat. After this kind of arrowhead is injected into the human body, the wound on the human body will naturally fit with the blade. Therefore, as long as
Even if it doesn't hit the vital part, it won't be fatal in a short period of time.
The three-sided arrowhead is an addition to the three-winged arrowhead, and its cross section is an inwardly concave triangle.
Don’t underestimate this concave triangular surface. In fact, this small modification is the result of decades or even hundreds of years of wisdom of ancient craftsmen. And it is the prototype of the oldest bloodletting trough. Note: True
Why Qin’s arrows were so strong in history? See here.
This concave triangular surface, or the blood-letting groove, will open an opening due to the expandability of the triangular arrowhead after the arrow hits the human body, causing the blood in the human body to spurt out along the concave triangular surface.
The purpose of causing the person hit by the arrow to lose a lot of blood is achieved in a very short period of time.
The terrible thing is that this kind of arrowhead cannot be easily removed from the human body because of its barbs. This makes soldiers on the battlefield almost dead once they are shot by such arrows.
It has to be said that the birth of the three-edged arrowhead is a major milestone in the history of arrowheads. Its appearance has almost ended the possibility of some powerful military generals to survive carrying dozens of arrows, making arrows once again become a battlefield
The biggest killer on the planet.
In front of this kind of three-edged arrowhead, even a general with full body and blood will be unable to support a few arrows. Unless the opponent quickly pulls out the arrows and binds the wound, otherwise, after a while, he will face a state of suspended animation due to massive blood loss.
, and then entered real death in a drowsy state.
What Zhao Hongrun is currently doing is to further enhance the bloodletting function of the triangular arrowhead, so as to achieve the purpose of rendering a person incapable of fighting with one arrow.
This is not an easy task. After all, if you want to enhance the bleeding function of the three-sided arrowhead, you must expand the blade and enlarge the bleeding groove. Doing so will undoubtedly increase the weight of the arrowhead, making the arrowhead, arrow shaft, and arrow
The balance between the three is broken.
Once the balance is broken, this kind of arrow will be scrapped, because it will have no effect on the battlefield, either the range will be greatly limited, or the accuracy will be greatly reduced.
This is a project that requires trial and error.
"Someone is coming!"
Zhao Hongrun shouted from inside the house.
At this time, several clerks from the Metallurgical Bureau were sitting in the outer room. These people were responsible for standardizing the new weapons proposed by Zhao Hongrun. To put it bluntly, they were comparing the draft designs that Zhao Hongrun had drawn and drawing more detailed ones.
Make accurate drawings and fill in various length, width and height values.
The precise drawings drawn by these clerks will eventually be sent to the workshop in the Smelting Bureau and officially put into use.
After hearing Zhao Hongrun's call, a civil servant immediately put down his work, walked into the inner room, came to Zhao Hongrun's table, bowed and said, "What are your orders from King Su?"
Zhao Hongrun handed the sketch of the three-edged arrowhead to the clerk and said, "Ask the workshop to make a batch as soon as possible to test the effect."
After hearing this, the literary official took the sketch with great interest.
He couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, in his opinion, His Highness Prince Su would always come up with some very powerful things from time to time, which made everyone in the Smelting Bureau more and more interested in the things proposed by His Highness Prince Su.
Send the ground to report in anticipation.
What is your Highness up to today? Let me take a look...
The clerk took the sketch and looked at it carefully for a while, simulating the lethality of this triangular arrowhead in his mind. However, due to the limitation of his knowledge, he could not truly understand the terrifying lethality of this triangular arrowhead.
I have a vague feeling that this is a very scary arrowhead.
The civil servant returned to the outer room, and because he saw his colleagues looking around with their heads open, he secretly showed the sketch in his hand to his colleagues, which caused a burst of exclamations from the civil servants.
After all, those who can sit here and help His Royal Highness Zhao Hongrun, Prince Su, are all quick-thinking people. Therefore, looking at the drawings, how can one not imagine the terrifying nature of the arrowheads in the sketches.
Hearing an obviously repressible exclamation from the outer room, Zhao Hongrun picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.
He has no doubt that this kind of triangular arrowhead will once again improve the status of bows on the battlefield. After all, in Zhao Hongrun's view, this should be the most advanced arrowhead at present. It is almost the pinnacle of arrowhead history. If it is used again in the future,
If you want to improve, you can only start with the texture of the arrowhead, that is, replace the metal of the arrowhead with a sharper and stronger metal, such as steel.
It is undeniable that this will be a big trump card for Wei in the future, but there is also a trouble, that is, Zhao Hongrun must protect these arrowheads to prevent them from flowing into the hands of Central Plains countries such as Chu, South Korea, and Qi, especially Lu.
You know, in the eyes of Zhao Hongrun, the craftsmen in this world are simply cheating. It is no exaggeration to say that as long as craftsmen from other countries get a few of these three-edged arrowheads, unless their heads suddenly show off, they stupidly think that this kind of arrowheads
It cannot be used, otherwise it is not difficult to make new three-edged arrowheads based on the few three-edged arrowheads you bought.
No, the young craftsman named Ding Jun thought of the gear craftsmanship from the Lu country from the gear marks in the box that Zhao Hongrun gave up a while ago. Zhao Hongrun actually made Zhao Hongrun
He was stunned and restored the machine box.
It's a pity that after trying it, I realized that the rate of fire of this machine gun is simply painfully slow. It doesn't fire the machine gun "suddenly" like what Wang Fu, the chief minister of the Metallurgical Bureau, said.
According to Zhao Hongrun's private estimation, it takes about six or seven seconds to fire a machine gun, and the range and power are not as good as the continuous gun that Zhao Hongrun knows in his mind.
What's even more terrible is that once the switch is turned on and the machine box enters the missile shooting stage, it cannot be stopped unless the missiles in the box are fired. Once it is forced to stop, it will "get stuck" and damage the gears in the box.
system.
Therefore, the Lu country's machine gun was finally given up by the disappointed Zhao Hongrun. He subjectively felt that the technology of this era should not have reached the point of automatic shooting and automatic loading of arrows.
Of course, it is also possible that this receiver is just a "trial model" developed by the Lu State. Now, the Lu State may have developed a more advanced receiver, but Zhao Hongrun does not think that the Lu State will easily
This kind of weapons flowed out of the country, so he gave up and concentrated on tinkering with his company.
After all, even guns are weapons that can change the way war is fought.
All in all, Wei's craftsman Ding Jun has made Zhao Hongrun realize what the ability of imitation is. Therefore, once these three-edged arrowheads flow into other countries, they are likely to be imitated by other countries in a short period of time. Therefore, Zhao Hongrun decided to distribute them
When these arrowheads were used, a rule was added to the military regulations: when cleaning the battlefield, triangular arrowheads must be recovered as much as possible.
Although this cannot prevent the three-edged arrowhead craftsmanship from flowing abroad, it can at least hide it for a while, allowing the Wei army to take the "advantage" during this period.
While the Smelting Bureau was developing and testing the three-sided arrowheads, Zhao Hongrun went to the Chui Gong Hall of the Imperial Palace and asked to see his father.
This was the first time that Zhao Hongrun took the initiative to go to Chui Gong Hall after the father and son had a conflict over Miss Su.
In the Chui Gong Hall, Zhao Hongrun told his father the purpose of coming here: please mobilize the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army.
Emperor Wei was very pleased and moved by this son who immediately rushed to escort him when the Wei camp was attacked by the great thief Huan Hu at night during the Chenggao hunting period.
Well, forget about the gifts of the two rabbits. Emperor Wei changed hands and gave them to Concubine Shen Shu, so that the two rabbits could keep her company.
"Hongrun, you mean to summon the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army?"
To be fair, Emperor Wei was not worried about the loyalty of the two surrendered armies of the Chu State, the Yanling Army and the Shangshui Army. After all, if these people dared to rebel, neither the Wei State nor the Chu State would tolerate them anymore.
The problem is that this time the war against the Jie people was led by Sima An, the general of the Dangshan Army. Emperor Wei knew this former clan guard very well and knew that what he disliked most was foreigners.
Let him fight with the Jie people together with a group of Chu soldiers?
Emperor Wei could guess what would happen just by thinking about it.
"This is what I thought. Before the Six Emperors rushed to Qi, they repeatedly told me to keep an eye on Nangong in Song Dynasty. In the past, the Dangshan Army was guarding the Suiyang Army in Nangong. Now the Dangshan Army
Expedition to Sanchuan, therefore, I want the Yanling Army to temporarily take over the defense of the Dangshan Army. As for the Shangshui Army, I also want to mobilize some of them to assist General Sima An. After all, the strength of the Dangshan Army is still a bit weak..."
Zhao Hongrun talked eloquently, which made Emperor Wei roll his eyes.
"Okay, okay." Emperor Wei waved his hand to interrupt Zhao Hongrun's statement, and asked angrily: "What do you want?"
"I sincerely request my father to appoint me as the supervisor of the army during the expedition against the Jie tribe, so as to prevent General Sima An from killing innocent people indiscriminately." In order to protect the Qingyang tribe, Baiyang tribe and other tribes of the Hei people who were very close to Wei, Zhao Hongrun insisted.
scalp begged.
After hearing this, Emperor Wei had a strange look on his face.
"You? Want to restrain Sima An?"
"No, it's assistance." Zhao Hongrun corrected. (To be continued.)
