Chapter 242: The Three-Bow Crossbow Threatening Qi Refiners
Chapter 242: The three-bow bed crossbow that threatens the Qi Refiner
After donating the iron weapons, Yao Yun began to think about how to strengthen the Xi Kingdom's army. Knowing the status of weapons in this era, Yao Yun's first thought was naturally the crossbow.
In this era, shooting is one of the most important means of attack.
When the children of noble families reach adulthood, they will shoot six arrows in all directions to show their ambition to conquer the world. Even ordinary hunters and mountain folk in the mountains are also good at bow and arrow shooting.
Everyone present is familiar with bows.
"Your Majesty, what kind of bow is a crossbow?" Cang Man asked everyone's doubts.
Yao Yun recalled the description of the crossbow in his previous life, and responded thoughtfully: "The crossbow is also a type of bow, but this bow is different from other bows. The strength of ordinary bows is related to the physical strength of the shooter, but the crossbow is different
, it uses mechanical power to shoot arrows, and does not require high physical strength of the shooter. The shot is more accurate and farther than a bow!"
After listening to Yao Yun's narration, Bald Long, Wu Tong, Cang Man, and Hu Yi all looked at each other. To be honest, they didn't understand what it meant to rely on mechanical power to shoot arrows, but in the end they heard the comparison with bows very clearly.
Shoot more accurately than a bow;
farther than a bow.
Wu Tong took a breath: "Your Majesty, do you really have such a weapon?"
Yao Yun nodded solemnly to show that what he said was not a joke, and continued: "The crossbow does not rely on people to draw the bow, the force is even, and it generally shoots further and is more powerful than ordinary people;
At the same time, because the shooter does not need to use force to draw the bow, it is easier for the shooter to catch the enemy's traces, and the shot will naturally be more accurate;
The crossbow can fire several or even dozens of arrows at the same time, which is very powerful in combat.
Overall, crossbows are more practical than ordinary bows!"
Yao Yun once again demonstrated the advantages of the crossbow in detail, leaving everyone speechless.
Cang Man even exclaimed: "The crossbow is so powerful, wouldn't it be that the bow will be replaced by the bow in the future?"
Cang Man was convinced by Yao Yun's words. Whatever the king said was what he said. The king said that the crossbow was powerful, so it was definitely true. At this time, he was already worried about the fate of the bow.
The crossbow is a good weapon, Yao Yun firmly believes that even in the last hot weapon era, crossbows still existed, but it is impossible to completely replace the bow.
Crossbows are more bulky than bows, and it takes time to load arrows. These are the shortcomings of crossbows. In many cases, they are not as good as bows. The best choice is to use bows and crossbows in conjunction with each other.
Thinking of this, Yao Yun shook his head: "Bows naturally have their uses. In many aspects, crossbows are inferior to crossbows. You will understand after the crossbows are made. Moreover, for powerful Qi refiners, crossbows have limited power when borrowing external force.
The bow is more suitable for the strong."
Hearing what the king said, everyone nodded. Although they didn't understand, they still felt that it was very powerful.
When Yao Yun saw this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Come on, it's useless to talk more. Let's build the crossbow first.
Yao Yun knew the principles of the crossbow, but he was handicapped and too lazy to use it, so he went to the blacksmiths with the weapon drawings he had drawn.
Of course, the main thing is to find Master Liao, the master of weapon casting.
Although this guy has no integrity, Yao Yun now controls the opponent's life and death, and can even teach him the Hundred Refiners Divine Weapon. Naturally, the crossbow will not be hidden, and Yao Yun also needs the other party to help him improve the crossbow. After all, in this world
It is a world with extraordinary power, and maybe some designs are inappropriate.
Yao Yun drew two crossbow drawings at once, one was a crossbow used by a single soldier, and the other was a powerful three-bow bed crossbow.
"Your Majesty, who painted this? It's so vivid that it looks like the real thing is placed in front of you. It's really amazing."
Yao Yun did not say that he drew it himself, and remained silent with a majestic look on his face.
Master Liao took the weapon drawings from Yao Yun's hand. At first, he was shocked by the exquisiteness and lifelikeness of Yao Yun's drawings, but gradually, his face became serious and he was immersed in the new weapons.
"Your Majesty, is this a bow? No, it doesn't look like a bow, but more like a mechanism."
Yao Yun nodded with satisfaction. He was also worried that Master Liao would not be able to understand the drawings, but unexpectedly he saw some tricks. It seemed that his mechanical drawing skills were not returned to the teacher.
"You are right, this is a kind of bow with a mechanism, it is called a crossbow."
After Master Liao entered the "scholar" mode, he became very serious and no longer regarded Yao Yun as the king. Instead, he said very sophisticatedly: "In some places in Zhuxia, crossbows and bows are combined, and the king calls them crossbows. This is quite different."
novel."
Yao Yun nodded slightly: "Yes, Gu distinguishes it, so it is called a crossbow."
Master Liao: "The name King is a good one, and this crossbow is also very interesting. It seems that the shooter does not need to draw the bow, but only needs to load the arrows. This is a good thing. Ordinary farmers can kill strong armored weapons with this weapon."
scholar."
As expected of a weapon maker, one can see at a glance that the crossbow's biggest feature is that it is easy to learn and quick to use.
At the same level, an archer needs to train hard for many years to achieve the same level, while a crossbowman can achieve it in a few days or in ten days and a half month.
Compare the two and make a judgment.
Yao Yun saw Master Liao looking fascinated, frowning and thinking from time to time, so he introduced to him: "A crossbow consists of a bow, a crossbow arm, and a crossbow machine."
Yao Yun pointed to the crossbow bow on the drawing and explained the weapon drawing to Master Liao, telling him the composition and core components of the crossbow bow.
"The bow is mounted horizontally on the front end of the crossbow arm, the crossbow machine is mounted on the rear of the crossbow arm, and the crossbow arm is used to support the bow and support the string."
Master Liao was just thinking about the structure of the crossbow. When he heard the king's explanation, his puzzled face immediately showed joy.
"Your Majesty, how does that crossbow shoot arrows?"
Yao Yun's fingers slid on the drawing: "Open the string and hold it with the crossbow machine, place the arrow in the arrow path on the crossbow arm, aim at the target, then trigger the crossbow machine, the bowstring will rebound, and the arrow will be shot."
When Master Liao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "It turns out that it is so exquisite. It is really an exquisite thing. It seems simple, but in fact it has hidden secrets. If you add a mechanism, it seems that you can fire several arrows in succession. Then arrows will rain from the sky.
, it must be quite powerful!”
Yao Yun looked at Master Liao in surprise, repeating crossbow? He originally wanted to make it later, but he didn't expect that Master Liao could immediately think of repeating crossbow. He is really a talent!
"Master Liao, you are right. There is indeed a repeating crossbow. Don't worry about it now. Take a look at the three-bow bed crossbow at the back."
With the previous crossbow, Master Liao was very interested in the three-bow crossbow at the back, but when he picked up the drawing and looked at it carefully, his fingers not only trembled.
"This... Your Majesty, which master is the handiwork of this weapon? It's too terrifying. If enough vitality is poured into it, these three-bow crossbows are enough to threaten the strong Qi Refiners!"
