When President Li started his business, there was a disposable fast-moving bow and arrow made of water cedar wood. In fact, it might be used by hand more than ten or twenty times, but compared with the horn bow, it can almost be considered a disposable weapon.
But at the beginning, it was easy to obtain metasequoia wood. By mixing the cypress wood with natural glue in a steamer, it was not resistant to handling, but it solved the problem of rapid arming and large-scale arming.
When it was first finalized, a wooden arrow rest was installed. Therefore, the archers from Baisha Village often have archery habits that are very different from those of Gusu Wangji.
After discarding thousands of rubbish made of metasequoia wood, the original brave archer actually had good shooting skills and quite good accuracy.
It's just that the rate of fire is not good. Fortunately, President Li's team does not have high requirements for rate of fire.
If you want the rate of fire, load up the crossbow with a hard crossbow. The rate of fire comes one after another, which is extremely satisfying.
Wei Weiwei was very interested in Yinxiang's hard crossbow. It had great power and a long range. When shooting in array, the advantage was very obvious. And because of Princess Wei, a large crossbow that had been smuggled into Wei State required a winch.
When the string is wound, the force is strong enough to shoot the spear.
With this kind of power, if hundreds of them fired together, Wei Wei thought the picture would be quite beautiful, so he did not dare to continue imagining it.
However, at this time, I tried out a new type of bow from the Wu people. The weird wooden arrow rest made Wei Wei immediately think that if the archers of the Wei people also used such a bow, wouldn't it also be more powerful?
"The utensils made by the Wu people are truly exquisite."
After sighing with emotion, Captain Wa Yi immediately said, "Immediately submit this bow to your Majesty. If it can be remade...well, if it can be redeemed from Huaishui Bo, that would be the best."
"Hi!"
Temporary restructuring is impossible, but it is not a big problem to purchase a batch.
Moreover, Wei Wei also thought about it. While purchasing, he can also imitate. This kind of small tool does not seem to be difficult to make.
If I have to say that it has similar functions, the leather and jade sword can also be used as an arrow rest.
But this is the first time that Wei Wei has seen a small tool made by itself like this.
From Wei Wei's point of view, this seems to be much more efficient for training archers in batches.
Archery masters who might have been some distance away from being a marksman can now advance and become a marksman.
The more weapons and equipment purchased from President Li, the more fearful professionals like Wei Yi will feel towards President Li.
It's purely an unmatchable gap in strength.
"This Captain Wa Yi really knows his stuff."
After the guards spent a lot of money to get a bow, in the small town outside Wayi, the two captains at the city saw Weiwei sending people to the northeast with bows, and they knew that Weiwei was planning to put the bow into the city.
Dedicated to the King of Wei.
"When marching and fighting, it is always more likely to win, and less likely to lead to defeat. This Captain Wa Yi can be regarded as loyal to his duty."
"As your Majesty said, how much should this bow with an arrow rest be sold for?"
"Who knows? It's unclear whether the Wei people still have money to sell them."
"A mare in Fucheng is currently priced at four thousand yuan. Even if this bow is not as expensive as a mare, how about selling it for half, two thousand yuan?"
"Oh, if you have two thousand coins, you might as well melt them and cast a few more arrowheads."
The two captains were chatting about the profits from buying and selling weapons and equipment when they suddenly heard the sound of cattle. They turned around and saw a group of cavalry in the distance slowly driving towards them.
Unlike other cavalry, this group of cavalry rides mules instead of horses.
The young mule ran quite easily, reaching the foot of the small town in one breath without any muscle tremors. It just kept snoring and turning its lips from time to time, revealing its gums and a row of teeth.
The knight got off the mule, stamped his feet, and rubbed his buttocks. Then he took out two carrots from his satchel and stuffed them into the mule's mouth.
Crunch, crunch, crunch, when the mule gnaws the radish, it is extremely crunchy.
Even when people see it, they think this carrot must be extremely delicious.
"team leader!"
"How about the north and south of Wayi?!"
"There are two small stations of Zheng Division in the northwest, with ten chariots, five hundred infantry, and one or two thousand civilians."
"spacing."
"Two miles."
The two small stations are only two miles apart. Zheng's troops are in tandem with the Wei troops.
Wayi is now under the control of Weiguo, but it is not very stable. In the opinion of the two captains, Weiguo borrowed troops to buy more weapons and equipment from Huaizhong City.
The two countries of Wei and Zheng are now most likely accumulating strength and preparing for a final wave of decisive battle. Whether it succeeds or not, it is this wave. After that, it will be the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, they will have to be busy spending the winter.
"From what you've seen, are fighting frequent?"
"There should be frequent battles between small groups on both sides." The knight took a sip of water, opened his bag, and took out two bamboo tubes, "Draw a sketch."
"Um."
The captain took out the rough sketch and spread the drawings on the back of a mule.
The whole paper is drawn in a grid. After marking the starting point, up, north, down, south, left, west, right, east, it looks much clearer.
"This is small station No. 1, with five chariots, three hundred infantry, and one thousand civilians. This is small station No. 2, with five chariots, two hundred infantry, and one thousand civilians."
"Are you sure?"
"There are not many houses in the small station. There are only fences and a trench around the perimeter. It should have been dug by the civilians. The water is diverted from a tributary near the Pu River, which is about one foot."
"One foot?"
"One foot. There must have been a small river there originally."
"Has a bridge been built?"
"There is a camp gate with a drawbridge, watchtowers on both sides, and sentry posts at the four corners. Although there are not many houses, there are watchtowers above the houses, which should also be sentry posts."
In another bamboo tube, the drawing is a rough map of the small station of Zheng Guo's army.
It is definitely not easy to house a small station with more than a thousand people.
A captain thought for a while and said: "This place may have been a guest house before, or something like a reverse journey."
"When I came here, your Majesty warned me that when Wei and Zheng are fighting, the two sides will definitely be at odds with each other. Now it seems that they are really at odds with each other. You have me, and I have you."
"It's similar to Shoubi Yangcheng, except Biyangcheng is larger in scale."
The Wayi area they were in was probably the front line of the war between Wei and Zheng, and it might still be a prominent location, but it's not certain yet.
However, the officers had already planned their retreat route, and they would run away once the defenders could no longer hold on.
I came here to play support. If the support becomes the main force, what will it become?
When the Wei people borrowed troops, they didn't say how large the benefits would be.
While they were discussing, a mule came to Wayi City as a messenger.
"Report!"
"explain."
"The guards said that there have been many temptations from the Zheng people in the past few days, so our army should be careful."
"Wayi is a place where we still need to be careful. The place where the Four Wars are fought has Pu River in the south and river water in the north. It's useless to guard against it. It's unnecessary."
While cursing and cursing, the two captains were still discussing how to arrange the sentries for the night.
Now it seems that both Wei and Zheng have learned from the Battle of Biyang very deeply. If they have to learn from it even in night attacks, where can they explain it?
Although they came here to provide support and had to retreat when the situation turned bad, if the ship capsized in the gutter, it would be a small matter for them to burp themselves, but a big matter for them to embarrass their lord.
The boss has never lost a single game since his debut, so we can't let them try to make him look bad.
"Borrow five hundred people from Wayi and build a few crenels on the small town."
"good."
Seeing Wei and Zheng fighting strangely, the two captains in the small town, although not worried, still felt very uncomfortable.
They also did not expect that the two countries, Wei and Zheng, would follow suit so quickly. In just a short time, even the defense fortifications would follow suit.
It's just that the work is a bit slow, but again, I'm learning and making progress.
As long as things are changing, you can't look at problems from the old perspective.
"I think the Zheng people might actually be able to attack at night."
"Even if it's not a real night attack, a feint attack, or a tired army, it will still happen."
"First set up the big crossbows and pile the eagle feather arrows on the wall. If the Zheng people really attack, we can deal with it calmly."
