Chapter 138: The Bed Crossbow
Evening...... Luo Wen, who was weak and weak, carried a high stool to the edge of the courtyard wall with great difficulty, preparing to escape overnight.
It's a pity that Zhang Qiang, the beast, drank too much, stepped on the stool and finally climbed to the top of the courtyard wall, just wanted to go down, but did not expect that at this time, there was no strength in his hands at all, and he tried his best to stabilize his body, a small breeze blew, his head was suddenly confused, and his hand was loosened, which fell from the wall!
Fortunately, his brain was a little clearer at this time, and he knew that if he fell out, he would have to fall back again, and Luo Wen understood the word unlucky......
"Puff ......"
"It hurts...... But it's okay, hurry up, next time you don't kill someone here, it's too dangerous..."
Standing up with a slight tremble, Rowan suddenly found that there seemed to be a pair of big feet in front of him......
Luo Wen's mind was still in chaos, and he subconsciously looked up along his feet......
"Hahaha...... Brother Rowan, how did this get to my house? Could it be that you're looking for me for a drink? Come on, come on, Min, Min! Go and tell someone to prepare dinner, and help me get the wine out of the cellar by the way......"
"Ahh God, help me......" Rowan only remembered at this time that Zhang Qiang and Xiao Han's family seemed to be close together......
Luo Wen finally left, and after being poured for two days, he made the most vicious oath to Zhang Qiang, and he didn't dare to turn back and run away......
Xiao Han and Zhang Qiang stood on the side of the road and watched Luo Wen gradually run away, and sighed in unison, hey, this acquaintance ran away again, how much fun is missing......
When the north wind gradually rose, Li Shimin's letter said that he could not return to Chang'an for the time being, not because the war was stalemate, on the contrary, the war has been very clear, and Li Shimin deliberately replaced the veterans in order to achieve the purpose of military training, and let the recruits go to attack the fortifications.
I don't know if it's out of fear of the future, or for some other reason, anyway, Xiao Han has stopped a lot, and the supply of high-quality iron ore is sufficient, plus the process of craftsmen from raw to cooked, the output of armor is still slowly rising.
On the other hand, the hinge specially explained by Xiao Han was also researched with the cooperation of several masters, but the first generation of the product was still a little large, and after several efforts, it was only reduced to the size of a palm, and it was installed on the carriage, as if it was hanging with two lumps of something, which was very ugly.
However, it is ugly and ugly, the carriage with the addition of shafts and soft steel is now much more comfortable, and when running on the flat road, there are almost no bumps, which also makes Xiao Han, who is most afraid of riding in the car, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The reeling was successful, and its derivative, the ratchet, was also studied, and as soon as this thing came out, it was modified to the bed crossbow by the craftsman without Xiao Han's instructions.
The bed crossbow, also known as the eight-cow crossbow, is said to be because the best bed crossbow can be pulled apart with the power of eight oxen, such a powerful force that is terrifying to think about!
Because it is too heavy, the bed crossbow can only be installed on the board car, so it is not too flexible to use, of course, as the most terrifying long-range attack weapon in the world now, the bed crossbow is not used to shoot people at all, just look at its calf thickness, more than 100 pounds of arrows, you know that using it to shoot a few soldiers is simply an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes!
Xiao Han had already instructed the blacksmith to make a bed crossbow when mild steel was manufactured, and unlike the previous bed crossbows, the bow arms of this bed crossbow were all made of mild steel, and there was no joint design of the traditional three recurve bows.
With only a few pieces of soft steel of different lengths together, the power generated by this new type of steel is enough to kill the most powerful bed crossbow now, the original eight-bull crossbow that five people can pull together together, and now the same five people, no matter how hard they try, they can't hang the crossbow string on the hook machine!
At the beginning of making this bed crossbow, everyone thought that this was a waste, because manpower could not be used for him at all, in order to test its effectiveness, the big yellow cow that was grazing on the ground was specially borrowed and used, and then the crossbow was hung for it, and just like that, the big yellow cow was tired and panted.
The test results are not available...... Because the target and the arrow were all shattered into slag, the stunned man found a twisted steel arrow from 200 paces away, and a large boulder that was torn apart......
Such power is simply terrifying, but whoever goes to war can't drive a herd of cattle there, and this is not a fire ox formation!
So this steel bed crossbow was only used once and was locked in the warehouse, and I didn't plan to use it again!
Now, after modifying the ordinary bed crossbow, someone finally remembered this one*, dragged it out, hung up the ratchet, very good, five people can barely pull it apart, except for slowing down, there is nothing else wrong, the master craftsman took the apprentice to run happily to Xiao Han to report the good news, but was scolded by the Hou Ye in the afternoon A bloody dog...
"Stupid!! Can't you move your head? Five people can be used to be hyun, and it will be launched once, how long will it take to use it a second time? We can machine ratchets, why don't we make a few eccentric wheels and pulleys out?! ”
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, what Hou Ye said is right, please ask Hou Ye to give me advice...... although I don't know what this eccentric wheel can do, but when the master with a foaming head saw Hou Ye say this, he must not be bluffing him, so he hurriedly "supported" Xiao Han rushed to the blacksmith and built a few on the spot according to the sketches drawn by Xiao Han.
I was suspicious and used it, only to find that just a few inconspicuous small wheels made the bed crossbow that could only be controlled by five or six people become controllable by three people, and the rate of fire has increased by more than two times!
Sending a few sets of these wheels to King Qin, he immediately earned back a bunch of rewards, and of course, an additional order of five hundred sets.
"Crazy! The armor is not finished, who has the spare time to make a ratchet for you? Fortunately, I didn't bring you the spring steel bed crossbow, or the blacksmiths would have wiped their necks! ”
Xiao Han hatefully threw the letter aside and decided not to pay attention to this little plum who was red-eyed when he saw something good!
Although a few more people have entered his blacksmith factory one after another, this person is not enough! The armor has now completely formed its own process.
Under Xiao Han's suggestion, the production and assembly were simply divided into two places, and some idle and bored housewives in the villager's house came to assemble, which could not only earn more copper coins, but also allow the blacksmiths who were already heavy to do a piece of work, why not?
In this way, more than 200 sets of armor can be produced every month, but unfortunately no amount of armor can satisfy Xiao Lizi's appetite, and it is already the norm to collect debts once a month......
The blacksmith is getting busier and busier, the carpenter is getting busier, and even the little daughter-in-law and aunt in the Zhuangzi are getting busier and busier, only Xiao Han finds that he is getting more and more relaxed......
Except for the once a month when the Great Dynasty will show his face and sleep with the elders of the three dynasties, I really don't know what to do at the rest of the time......
Chang'an doesn't want to go, it is now full of * smell, the land of right and wrong must be quickly hidden, how can there be your own Zhuangzi, the sky is so blue, the water is so clear, nothing to come out and go around, the air is fresher than Chang'an.
There is one more person walking today, and a heroic young man is following Xiao Han with his head down, he is Li Jing's younger brother, Li Shentong.
Maybe I've seen too many cows, Xiao Han is completely uninterested in this Li Shentong, no matter how good you are in the future, isn't it honest to me now?
The dog-headed general was on duty on the other side of the river, and Li Shentong, as an outsider, could never go to the other side of the river, just looking at the higher and higher walls and the sharper and sharper iron thorns, Li Shentong consciously walked back, and he didn't even look anywhere.
Li Shentong's choice was definitely wise, except for the old man who was absolutely trusted by Xiao Han's side, no one knew that behind that high wall, there were several bed crossbows that could be called the most terrifying in the world......
"Hey, supernatural powers, come here, look at this dog of mine, why is he not energetic today?"
"That's my dog!" Li Shentong gritted his teeth and shouted to Xiao Han, who was holding a puppy in front!
Xiao Han didn't seem to see Li Shentong's angry appearance, he still touched the puppy's soft hair leisurely, and said without looking back: "Hey, why are you so tough? Was this dog born to me? You don't know I have a rule here? Everything that was born here is classified as the household registration of the Xiao family Zhuangzi? So say this dog from the inside, to the outside! It's all mine, do you have an opinion? ”
"But this big dog belongs to my family!"
Li Shentong was almost angry by Xiao Han's strong words, and yelled at the neck: "This is born to him and that lone wolf, there is such a living one in a litter, and it was snatched away by you!" Give it back to me! ”
"Give it back to you? Uh, Xiaotong, do you know what is the best thing in the world? ”
"I don't care what best to make, it's mine! It took me so much effort to bring it back to me, and you have to give it back to me, now! Yes, there is! ”
"Tut-tut......" Xiao Han glanced at the angry young man with pity, and snapped his fingers: "Xiaodong, stunned, come and teach him, in this world, what is the best thing to ......"
Looking at the second general who came over with a cruel smile, Li Shentong couldn't help but take a step back: "I, I know martial arts, I, I'm not afraid of your ......"
"Ah......h
"Martial arts? Huh..."
Listening to the "scream" behind him, Xiao Han smiled and continued to walk with the puppy in his arms.
In fact, for martial arts, Xiao Han has also studied, indeed, in this world where the body is the first money, there are indeed many ways to boil the muscles and bones, according to the old man in the auxiliary, there are fierce generals with weapons in their hands can be one enemy hundred, but only the other party is also with melee weapons, if there are twenty hands with bows and arrows, what fierce generals will also become hedgehogs.
Xiao Han, who heard this answer, was lost for a long time, he originally wanted to find a martial arts cheats to practice, and to be a chivalrous warrior who flew away from the sky and did chivalry, but now it seems that he has failed.
Zhao Zilong, who entered and exited seven times, was just Cao Cao who shouted first: Don't let go of arrows, don't hurt my son Long's stupid words.
This is the achievement of Zhao Zilong's eternal story, otherwise under the fire of thousands of arrows, Xiao Han really can't think of anyone in this world who can withstand it, even if he can, there are bed crossbows and trebuchets......
