Chapter eight hundred and forty-eight shock debut
"I have seen the Supervisor..." Seeing Yan Liqiang coming, Zhao Dachuan and several lieutenants in the Ganzhou army hurriedly saluted Yan Li, and the soldiers of the Dragon Ya Army around him stood at the sight with a serious look on their faces.
"Well, everyone doesn't have to be nervous or polite. Now is the rest time..." Yan Liqiang smiled and said to the people around him.
Since Yan Liqiang had already spoken, the archers and cavalrymen naturally handed the battle bows in their hands to Zhao Dachuan and others.
Zhao Dachuan and his friends took the battle bows, and their faces became exciting one after another.
"Sir, this... this bow arm is really iron..." Zhao Dachuan asked in shock.
"Well, it's iron, but it's not ordinary iron. It's the dragon and tiger steel made by the craftsmen of the manufacturing bureau after thousands of tests. The material of the dragon and tiger steel is better than the material of the spring steel used on the crossbow. The rebound force is very strong. A bow can be opened for tens of thousands of times without decay..." Yan Liqiang said, and he also took a bow handed over by a sergeant next to him, held it in his hand, and glanced at the bow body with emotion. It's not easy to get this bow out. Even if there is a method to make spring steel, the specific time to grasp the time and material selection of the bow arm material, and the specific time to temper quench and material selection, took a lot of time. The craftsmen of the manufacturing bureau conducted thousands of experiments and recorded tens of thousands of sets of various data. Finally, the material ratio and processing technology of the dragon and tiger steel were completely determined.
With this most critical material, coupled with the screws "invented" by the craftsmen in the manufacturing bureau, the bow in front of us will be a natural result. If we use the terms of Yan Liqiang's previous life to accurately describe it, the bow in front of us is a standard double pulley reflex composite bow. The material of the bow arm is dragon and tiger steel, the material of the bow handle is cow horns and black cloud wood. The pulley of the bow arm is a modified three-groove dual-wheel system. Once these things are put on, the structure of the entire bow is very visually impactful for those who see this bow for the first time.
"Sir, why are there pulleys on this bow arm?" Zhao Dachuan held the bow in his hand, looked over and over for a while, and then asked a question that everyone who saw this bow for the first time would ask.
"You try to shoot an arrow and you will know..." Yan Liqiang waved his hand, and the soldiers next to him naturally sent a few arrows to Zhao Dachuan and several Ganzhou Army captains.
As an officer in the army, of course he could shoot arrows. Zhao Dachuan took the arrow and skillfully put it on the bow. He just used a slight force on his hand and the bow was slowly pulled open. As the bow was slowly pulled open, Zhao Dachuan's face became surprised. The bow handle of the bow was very easy to hold and it was very comfortable to hold. Traditional bows and arrows usually gradually increase or have always been so strong when they were drawn. However, the force on his hand was completely different from that of an ordinary bow. At the beginning, the strength was indeed gradually increasing, but when the bow was almost halfway through, the power of the bow was gradually decreasing, and finally he could easily pull the bow.
Not only Zhao Dachuan, but several other Ganzhou Army captains also discovered this and all of them looked a little surprised. They originally thought that the bow made of steel arms must be very laborious, but they did not arrive first. When the bow was drawn, they could easily fill the bow.
Zhao Dachuan felt it. The power of the bow in his hand felt about one stone, or even less than one stone. This power was not strong, and it was even slightly weaker than the ordinary combat bows used by the archers in the army. Thinking that most of these archers and cavalrymen came from the bow club, it is logical that the power of the bow should be stronger than that of ordinary military combat bows. Zhao Dachuan didn't understand why the power of the bow was weaker. In this way, it would be easier to open the bow, but the power of the arrow shot out was probably...
After pulling the bow, Zhao Dachuan was a little confused. He looked at the grassland in the distance, then let go and shot the arrow in his hand...
But at the moment when the arrow was cleared, Zhao Dachuan's face became wonderful again. He couldn't feel a single stone bow when he pulled the arrow. At the moment when the arrow was cleared, Zhao Dachuan felt like those arrows far beyond one stone, and felt like two stone bows shot out. The arrows leaving the bowstring were quick and powerful. With a "swish...", they disappeared from a mile away. The power was definitely far beyond the power of a stone battle bow.
With just one arrow, Zhao Dachuan was stunned - it was easier and more labor-saving when drawing a bow than a one-stone battle bow, but the arrows shot were far more powerful than a one-stone battle bow. Such a bow was unheard of for a general like Zhao Dachuan, and could only be explained by a magic weapon. Moreover, Zhao Dachuan also felt that the bow in his hand was not only straight, accurate, and shot very far, but also seemed to be able to reach an extremely high rate of fire in a very short time.
"Swish swish swish swish..." The captains of the Ganzhou Army next to them shot an arrow, and they looked shocked. Their feeling was the same as Zhao Dachuan. They could not have thought that the bow that was less than one stone was pulled open. The power of the bow was almost close to two stones. Such a bow was as if it had been cast by a spell. It was too incredible. He was more agile and immediately thought about it, was it the effect of the strange pulley on the bow?
Seeing the archers and cavalrymen in the five battalions in front of him had such bows on their hands, Zhao Dachuan felt his head dizzy suddenly. He was aimed at more than 10,000 such bows. If he really wanted to fight, tens of thousands of arrows were shot at the same time, and the black clouds were pressing down on them. No matter how many enemies there were, they might have been shot and killed completely inside and outside. How could they be approached? How could they win if they could not approach them? Such archers and cavalrymen had strong bows on their hands and strong horses under their crotch. It seemed that there were not many people, but on the battlefield, they were simply unfavorable. No one was the opponent...
Could it be that the purpose of the Supervisor set up the bow club was to form such a pure arch cavalry unit?
Thinking of this in his heart, Zhao Dachuan's eyes changed when he saw Yan Liqiang, especially when he looked at the archers and cavalrymen of the Dragon Ya Army who had been meticulous since he left the gate, Zhao Dachuan's eyes were filled with horror.
Zhao Dachuan recalled the scene when the more than 10,000 cavalry team he led and the archer cavalry "collided" in his mind. There were about 10,000 people on both sides. They met on the grassland. He led his team to rush towards these archers. He was still a mile away. These archers raised their battle bows in their hands and shot the first round. In the first round, how many people would their troops fall? Even for the most ordinary archers, when the large group of people charged towards the archers, the archers threw their lives to shoot the archers.
The hit rate is about one-fifth. Based on this hit rate, it means that your team will fall down almost two thousand men before they get close to these archers. Then after a few breaths, your team is in chaos. The second round of attacks with ten thousand arrows at the same time came, and another two thousand men fell down. In just a few more than ten breaths, the people he brought with him will be nearly half. These two rounds of arrows are not even warm-up for these archers. If you really want to warm up, you will have to wait three arrows. How many people will you have to wait until these archers are warm-up?
Generally speaking, no matter how strict the discipline and the strong combat effectiveness of an army, when the combat personnel are reduced by nearly half, it is difficult for the troops to be effectively commanded, and there is a possibility of defeat at any time. If the combat personnel are reduced by more than half, the troops will not be defeated. The troops that continue to fight are the truly invincible iron army. I am afraid that there will be no such army in the entire Han Empire...
If you lead your troops to collide with this archer, the final result is that the opponent has just finished warming up and shot three rounds of arrows. The troops he brought with him have been lost more than half and they are all defeated one mile away. Even you cannot survive the three rounds of attacks with tens of thousands of arrows at once.
"What does Lord Zhao think of this bow?"
Yan Liqiang's voice suddenly pulled Zhao Dachuan back to reality from his reverie.
Looking at Yan Liqiang's smiling face, Zhao Dachuan was shocked and swallowed and spitted with difficulty, "Sir, what's this called a bow?"
Zhao Dachuan didn't ask who made it, because the great craftsman of the Han Empire was right in front of him, so you don't need to ask to know that the bow was definitely from Yan Liqiang's arm.
"This bow is named after the Dragon Tooth Army. It is exclusive to the Dragon Tooth Army, so it is called the Dragon Tooth Bow..."
"Can this dragon tooth bow...can it..." Zhao Dachuan felt a little embarrassed.
"Hahaha, this bow is a bit lighter for you, and it may not be easy. When we take back the Retro-Wang Lang Grassland Mover, the right thing I will give you one by one..."
"Sir, can this bow have stronger power?"
"Well, there are 10 stones to 10 stones. Many officers in this arch cavalry team use bows with more than two stones. If you look closely, you can tell that the bow arms with more than two stones are wider..."
Zhao Dachuan took a deep breath, "Then I guess in a while, I will be lucky enough to see the power of this dragon tooth bow..."
Yan Liqiang smiled and looked at Shi Dafeng next to him, "Dafeng, how many rounds do you think those Shatu people can last?"
Shi Dafeng chuckled, not taking the upcoming Shatu people at all at all, "We will fire five bows and five rounds of volleys. If those Shatu people do not defeat and run for life, they will still have the courage to rush into half of our mile. Even if I lose, when I return to the pass, I will give this guy a month's rhino dragon horse..." Shi Dafeng pointed to Shen Teng next to him, and Shen Teng just smiled slightly...
An hour passed quickly. When the sun passed by and the sun was about to set west, the army of 40,000 Shatu people rushed towards Yan Liqiang and the others finally arrived twenty miles away, and the large group of people had already appeared on the horizon in the distance.
