Chapter 244 Crane-shank Crossbow

Lao Guo didn't raise his eyebrows: "There's no point in making a fuss. I let them attack. Within three games, not a single one will be left."

Old Chen laughed angrily: "You think others are just fools who are just shooting three times in advance. Even if there is a stronghold, these people are all experts in field warfare, especially good at night attacks. The few archers you and I have will be useless at night.

.”

Lao Guo whispered: "That's right, I don't know when the young master will give us another infantry. Don't say anything, the young master is going up..."

After the divination is over, it's time to sacrifice the flag, which requires the appearance of the great witch.

After killing a cute sheep, Su You waved his hand and the troops boarded the ship.

When the ship left the sight of Yibin County, Chen Tian and Guo Long immediately ordered their captains: "Hurry up! Just now, we were just showing it to the officers on the other side. Start assembling weapons!"

The archers took off the mallets on their sides. In fact, this thing was not a mallet. The shape was exactly the same as the butt of a later rifle.

There is no barrel, only a guide rail in the middle. Behind the guide rail is the machine teeth. There is a scale on the back of the machine teeth that can adjust the height of the rear sight.

There are two pull rods on the side, which are similar to the pressure rods of later generations of old-fashioned air guns. There is a connecting rod in the middle of the pull rod, which is connected to a door-shaped iron ring on both sides of the front part of the guide rail. There is also a hole on the top of the iron ring, and there is a hole inside the hole.

It's the crosshair.

There is a small iron piece at the bottom of the gun butt. When you pull it open, you find that the inside of the gun butt is empty and contains a set of small tools.

After receiving the order, the archers took out their small tools, placed the bow on the top of the wooden handle, took out the bolts and screwdrivers from the small tool bag, and installed the bow blades. The bow in their hands became a powerful crossbow.

Install the bowstring and start testing the opening and closing of the crossbow.

Or use the "Jue Zhang" method to use waist strength.

Step on the foot ring of the crossbow head, bend down, grab the pull rod on the side of the crossbow with both hands and pull it outward and upward. The hooks in the chute on both sides hang the bow string and move it backward, and the bow string is stuck on the trigger teeth.

Then let go, return the lever, load the arrow, and you can shoot.

In this way, most of the force can be saved during the winding process, and there is no need to consider factors such as bow string tightening.

The powerful crossbowmen of the Song Dynasty could fire four or five stones, which would be a pulling force of five hundred kilograms in later generations. However, Su You thought it was best not to expect the Meishan militia to have that ability.

Finally, the pulling force was set at two stones and four buckets. This was also the general crossbow force used by the military in the late Renzong Dynasty, about 150 kilograms.

Coupled with the lever principle of the cocking device, the actual average pulling force of the crossbow is about 80 kilograms, which is exactly the pulling force range of the large yellow crossbow in the Han Dynasty.

However, the power was almost twice that of the big yellow crossbow. Su You was quite satisfied with the result.

There are two small teams, each of twenty is a small team, five teams are a hundred-man team, and three hundred people are a capital, each with a leader.

The captain's assessment includes visual distance measurement and memorizing the relationship between the ruler and distance. If you don't know this, you won't even be qualified to be a captain.

As for the wide-angle overhead shot, it is a super-class subject. Captains can explore it on their own on weekdays, but it will not be counted in the assessment results.

Just like this, the two veterans were very depressed. For example, Guo Long, it was so easy for him to visually measure the distance. The problem was to convert the distance into a ruler reading that the sergeants could understand. He had to memorize it for a month.

.

This batch of crossbows use part of mild steel for the crossbow arms, and have spring scales as the factory measurement standard. In addition to being very consistent with the principles of human mechanics, the crossbow force is also very uniform and precise.

Chen Tian shouted: "Remove all the long arrows and carry out the boxes from the bottom of the boat!"

The arrows for this kind of crossbow are also specially made. In fact, the Song Dynasty already has a similar shape of three pavilion arrows.

The arrow is very short, only twenty centimeters in total, the arrow feathers are small but very long, and the arrowhead is conical like the bullet head of later generations, and is also longer than ordinary arrowheads.

Arrow feathers, arrow shafts, and arrowheads each account for almost one-third. This is the origin of the name Sanding, but the correct name should be called arrows.

After many tests by the science and engineering team, the optimal configuration of this crossbow was found.

Guo Long couldn't stand this design that subverted the long arrow, but after conducting comparative tests on several fans of pork, he found that this demonic design was much more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows, with an effective range of

One hundred and twenty meters, the key is that the shooting method is very stable and accurate, and it has terrible penetration into the shooting target.

At least all current heavy armor cannot stop the penetration of this kind of crossbow bolt.

There is also a very important crossbow that can carry much more arrows in wartime than an ordinary crossbowman, reaching a terrifying forty-five.

There are fifteen tubes in one tube, and the three tubes are spliced ​​together and can be carried on the back for easy marching.

The archers in the village only trained bows and arrows, and they had to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse to produce combat effectiveness. Therefore, Su You had to find shortcuts from various places.

These 600 crossbows are even more important and expensive than 600 crossbowmen.

The crossbows of the Song Dynasty did not pay much attention to accuracy, but Chen Guo's two men did not. If there were infantry guards in front, and then let these crossbowmen form a three-stage shooting at the back, the power would be very terrifying.

Accuracy is the most important thing in the assessment. In Su You's words, I have done the best for you on the equipment. How can you practice with me every day on this point? You must hit seven out of ten shots within seventy steps!

Crane-legged crossbow is the name given to this kind of crossbow by rural archers with little education. It is pitch black, and the pull rods that are pulled apart on both sides when stringing are like two slender crane legs. It sounds ugly, but it is very vivid.

Su You had no choice but to hold his nose and recognize the name, and changed the name from leg to shank, Crane shank crossbow. It sounded a bit unpleasant, but it was the source of confidence in dealing with the Luzhou barbarians.

However, this boy is not with the Han crossbowman now. He is on another large ship, talking to Adunlie Adunmi.

Adunlie didn't pay much attention to the Luzhou barbarians. He knew the power of the Han crossbow unit, but it was too technical. Mathematics was something that even the nobles of the Erlin tribe and the soldiers had mastered.

No.

Adun Lie hugged Adun Yuanzhen, who was crying and screaming for his life, and said: "Yuanzhen, you will learn a lot with Longshan, and you must learn mathematics well. In the future, we will fight from a distance."

Just kill your opponent without slashing like my brother!"

Atunmi rolled his eyes: "Brother, you are a bad boy. Yuan Zhen will study for the Jinshi in the future. Have you ever seen a Jinshi who stabbed people with a knife? Only the Jinshi from the Erlin Department can be valued by the court!"

Su You smiled and said: "There are really many champions in the Song Dynasty who are good at archery and top scholars who can kill people with swords."

"You have read Yuan Zhen's "The Oil Seller" by Ouyang Nehan, and Chen Yaozi is my number one scholar in the Song Dynasty!"

"Zhang Yong, the governor of Shu, can travel the world on horseback and with a single sword. He is so chivalrous that he kills evildoers without blinking an eye!"

"Lao Bao was sent as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom. The Liao people wanted to surround and hunt them, but Lao Bao shot a lot of prey and shocked the Liao people!"

"But don't put so much pressure on Yuan Zhen. Yuan Zhen, the purpose of learning is first to know what is good and what is bad; what should be done and what should not be done; and then enrich yourself, improve your abilities, and become someone who can

People who help others. The purpose of becoming an official is also to make it more convenient and beneficial when helping others. Don't listen to the nonsense of your brothers and sisters."

Atun Yuanzhen nodded: "You're right, Mingrun hasn't been admitted to Jinshi yet, hasn't he helped us a lot?"

At this time, Adunlie rolled his eyes: "You are competing with him, why don't you compete with Zhige Alubi? Teacher Tang said that knowledge should be accumulated step by step, you have forgotten it."

Atunmi also agreed with his brother: "I see that Mingrun has not been in Meishan recently, Yuanzhen, you are a little complacent..."

Atun Yuanzhen: "..."

The ship soon arrived at Luzhou, the sergeants disembarked, and marched towards Tuijing in formation.

At the beginning of the new year, Su You spent his tenth birthday in the camp.

The espionage personnel sent in advance returned one after another, and when the intelligence from several parties was compiled, everyone in the shogunate couldn't help but laugh and cry. There was a major error in the intelligence! It was not as serious as imagined! In other words, it was not as serious as imagined!

No matter what, the Jingjing Supervisor arrived.

Tuijingjian was a quasi-military camp. The imperial court established the Changning Army here, which was similar in nature to the Yongkang Army in Dujiangyan. It could do anything but not fight.

The salt was collected from Yanhu, transported to Luzhou, loaded on ships, and transported to the southeast and the capital via Kuimen.
