Chapter 222 Trial Clearance! (Monthly Pass of Ten Thousand Characters)(2/4)

From the Dasheng Dynasty to modern times, people have tried to imitate it, but they have failed to achieve the recorded results because of the lack of core components.

At this time, Li Hongyun could personally feel the power of the Divine Arm Bow in this historical slice.

The so-called divine arm bow is actually a crossbow.

Because there are limits to the draw force and poundage of a bow, the greater the power of the bow, the greater the force when pulling the bow, so its power will be greatly limited. No matter how strong a person is, the poundage and poundage of the bow will be limited.

The times are also very limited.

But the crossbow is different. By stringing it with pedals, the power of the crossbow can far exceed that of the bow. Moreover, the crossbow is much simpler to use than the bow, and the training cost is lower.

The reason why the Divine Arm Bow is called a bow is because it is an offset crossbow, that is, it is used vertically like a bow.

According to historical records, the pulling force of the God's Arm Bow can reach up to four stones and six buckets. Although the drawing force of the bow and crossbow before the Dasheng Dynasty was not measured by the force behind the string, the actual poundage is often calculated at half compared with the modern drawing force.

, but even so, the power of the Divine Arm Bow is already considerable, and it can never be used like an ordinary bow and arrow.

Li Hongyun was using Yu Jiaxuan's body at this time, which was already full of power.

He stepped on the pedals on the god's arm bow with both feet, pulled the bow string with both hands, and almost used all his strength to successfully string it up.

Although the whole process was quite difficult, Li Hongyun became even more excited.

Because this means that the Divine Arm Bow does have the powerful power recorded in historical records!

In the Dasheng Dynasty, he could play with muskets. In the Qi Dynasty, although he could no longer play with muskets due to the regression of technological lines, he had a killer weapon like the Divine Arm Bow as a substitute.

The warship was still cruising in the river, and Li Hongyun barely stood firm on the deck, raising his divine arm bow high and aiming at the golden general wearing gorgeous armor on the opposite warship.

Hold your breath and concentrate, pull the trigger!

With a "swish" sound, the thick arrows on the divine arm bow flew out instantly, flying towards the golden soldier general!

"middle!"

Li Hongyun shouted, and the Jinbing general fell down immediately.

As the Qi army around him watched in stunned silence, Li Hongyun laughed loudly, handed the divine arm bow to a soldier beside him, and turned to try out other advanced equipment on the warship.

In addition to the hand-held divine arm bow, there is also a fixed bed crossbow on the warship.

The bed crossbow is made of three hard bows fixed on a wooden frame. When stringing, the bed crossbow needs to be pulled slowly with a winch. The fully wound bed crossbow needs to be struck hard with a hammer when it is fired because the crossbow machine is too heavy.

You can see its power.

This large crossbow is not only powerful, but also has excellent accuracy. It has records of killing key enemy figures in ancient wars between the East and the West.

"Pull harder...pull..."

Several Qi soldiers worked together to twist the shaft and stretch the string, and then the crossbow made of three large bows was pulled apart and successfully stringed.

Li Hongyun took a hammer from the soldier next to him, and after observing it for a while, he saw that the crossbow machine placed on the side of the crossbow body was also made of metal.

He commanded the soldiers of the Qi army to constantly adjust their positions and aim their crossbows at the leader of the large warship further away.

"clang!"

Li Hong used the small hammer in his hand to hit the trigger of the bed crossbow hard.

With a "swish" sound, a thick crossbow arrow more than two meters long flew out of the air, directly across the river hundreds of meters away, and hit the golden soldier general on the large warship in the middle!

This thick crossbow arrow not only completely pierced through his armor, but before the remaining force was used up, it directly flew him backwards and nailed him to the warship with a "dong" sound.

The Jin soldiers were instantly in an uproar, while the Qi army was cheering for joy!

The Qi soldiers next to them were all stunned. Is this coach cheating?

Li Hongyun, on the other hand, brushed off his clothes and went away, hiding his identity and reputation.

He came to the top of the warship again, where there was also a huge trebuchet.

"give it to me!"

He commanded the soldiers responsible for controlling the trebuchet to aim at the Jin Bing's large ship, and then gave the order.

With a "Woo" sound, the huge stone drew a perfect curve in the air and hit a Jin Bing ship again!

This stone carried strong gravitational potential energy and instantly smashed through the deck of the warship. After falling into the cabin, it still had residual force and created a large hole in the bottom of the ship.

The river water rushed in instantly, and soon the warship began to circle and sink to the bottom of the river.

The golden soldiers on the boat were in a mess, and some tried to escape by diving into the water, but few of these golden soldiers were proficient in water. Soon, hundreds of golden soldiers on the boat were all buried in the belly of the fish.

Several other groups of naval forces had also rushed out and intercepted the Jin Bing's warship just as it was halfway across the river, catching the Jin Bing by surprise.

"Master Signing, there are still some Golden Dog ships rushing past!" A general reported hurriedly.

Li Hongyun waved his hand: "Don't worry, continue to destroy other Jin soldiers on the river!"

Li Hongyun didn't care at all about those fish that had slipped through the net and landed ashore.

Because he believed that the Flying Tiger Army he had carefully trained was more than enough to deal with these fish that slipped through the net.

With a "boom" sound, Jin Bing's warship hit the shore.

The elite Jin soldiers, cavalry and infantry, filed out of the warships and began to spread out quickly on the other side.

"kill!

"We will never disgrace the name of the Flying Tiger Army!"

The two generals leading the Flying Tiger Army who had stayed on the shore immediately began to charge with the elite Flying Tiger Army soldiers!

At this time, the golden soldiers had just landed and their footing was not yet stable. The two lieutenants obviously saw the opportunity and wanted to rush over and completely eliminate the golden soldiers before they could get into formation.

"Hit it halfway across" is always the most correct strategy in crossing a river.

The Jin soldiers who had just landed on the river bank hurriedly wanted to form a formation to fight, and many of them even had contempt on their faces.

Because in their impression, the Qi Dynasty's army was simply vulnerable.

Perhaps in the battle to defend the city, the Qi army could still rely on strong bows, crossbows or various defensive equipment for a long time, but in the field battle, most of the Qi army collapsed at the first touch against the elite golden soldiers, and they were unable to achieve any effective results.

resistance.

However, this time, these proud golden soldiers quickly paid the price.

Under the leadership of the deputy general of the Flying Tiger Army, the elite cavalry charged directly at the Jin soldiers!

The infantry of these Jin soldiers originally thought that the cavalry of the Qi Dynasty was just a bluff. They just formed a hasty array and raised their spears to deal with it. However, as soon as they met, they were rushed to pieces!

At the rear, the infantry of the Flying Tiger Army had also formed an array, all raising the divine arm bows in their hands.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when one's own cavalry rushed towards the infantry and detoured into the distance, the infantry of the Flying Tiger Army, under the command of the deputy general, raised their divine arm bows and threw them upward!

"Whoosh!"

"Whizzing!"

The thick crossbow arrow drew a terrifying parabola in the air. After reaching the highest point, under the blessing of gravitational potential energy, it fell towards the scattered Jin soldiers at a faster speed!

Many of the elite infantry of the Jin soldiers were wearing armor, but before the terrifying power of the divine arm bow, they had no protective effect at all and were directly penetrated!

The thick arrow shafts even nailed many golden soldiers to the ground. These golden soldiers were still struggling to stand up, but this attempt was in vain. They could only struggle on the ground for a while before making any sound.

Li Hongyun, who was on the warship, saw this scene on the shore and couldn't help but want to laugh three times.

"Let's just say that the Flying Tiger Army that I have put so much effort into building can definitely defeat these golden dogs!"

Li Hongyun once again commanded the trebuchet on the ship to smash through a large ship of the Jin soldiers.

It seems that this battle of Uuzhu should be a sure thing.

However, at this moment, another Jin Bing ship docked.

Although the Qi navy on the river was constantly intercepting the Jin Bing's ships, there were too many Jin Bing warships. And compared to the real situation in history, the Jin Bing's warships in this historical slice were larger.

More stable, the warship that would have been overturned by the Qi army's loach boat was able to withstand the collision and sail to the other side.

Li Hongyun didn't take it too seriously because he believed that such stragglers could be easily eliminated by the Feihu Army on the shore and other cooperating Qi troops.

However, what landed this time was no longer the infantry of the Jin army, but an elite cavalry!

The war horses stepped onto the river bank on the Qi army's side, and what appeared in front of everyone was a heavily armored knight who looked like an iron tower.

A large number of cavalry filed out and quickly organized a rough formation by the river.

Unlike infantry, cavalry's formation is more loose, and because the mobility of war horses is better, it is easier to set up.

Li Hongyun couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart.

Because this unit turned out to be a very complete elite unit of the Jin Army, which was the once world-famous "Iron Buddha" and "Kaizi Horse"!

The so-called Iron Buddha was a unique type of elite heavy cavalry at that time.

Different from ordinary heavy cavalry, the Iron Buddha has double armor, and it is equipped with armor for both men and horses. You can even put down the face shield on the helmet, exposing only two eyes.

From a distance, such heavily armored cavalry looks like a black iron tower, so it is called "Iron Buddha".

The Iron Buddha was an extremely expensive heavy cavalry at that time. The only parts without armor from top to bottom were the eyes of the cavalry and the legs of the war horses. In the face of such heavy armor, it was difficult for ordinary cold weapons to break through the defense.

If there is only one Iron Buddha, there are many ways to restrain it, but the Jin soldiers at that time creatively developed a special tactic.

By hooking the three cavalry together with leather ropes, the Iron Buddha cavalry is forced to only move forward when charging, and is not allowed to retreat. Coupled with the Iron Buddha's heavy armor, it can hedge against the opponent's cavalry or collide with the opponent's heavy infantry.
