The crossbow shot the wild boar's hind legs, and the wild boars began to escape. Yelu Longqing opened his bow and shot the wild boar that Liu An shot into the hind legs through the neck.
Liu An clapped his hands: "Brother Yelu is in good health."
"Brother Liu is a good method." Yelu Longqing is not harming Liu An. A scholar can shoot through the thigh of a wild boar at fifty steps. This is the power of a craftsman.
“It’s just noon, how about roasting wild boars?”
“Is there any wine?”
"have."
"Then camp."
Soon, Tietou led his men and Yelu Longqing's guards set up a simple camp, then fetched water and made a fire, and someone went to deal with the wild boars by the water.
Liu An held a wooden box and placed it next to Yelu Longqing.
Yelu Longqing asked: "Gift?"
"That's right."
Yelu Longqing opened the wooden box and there were many parts inside, all of which were made of iron.
"What is this?"
Liu An did not respond, but picked up the parts and started assembling them. There were actually only six parts, namely iron handles and then wrapped them in twine. Then there was an extra buckle on the handle. There were light and thin steel sheets that could be spliced ​​on both sides of the handle. Finally, two buckles were added to both ends of the steel sheet, and the buckle was hung on the wire.
The Khitans used beef tendon to make bowstrings.
After the Song Dynasty had cotton, some craftsmen developed a kind of bowstring made of a mixture of cotton, silk, hemp and some fish tendons.
This kind of bowstring has its disadvantages. It can be used up to 260 times. Generally speaking, it is necessary to replace the bowstring if it is close to 200 times.
However, the cost is low.
How low is it? It takes a year to make a beef tendon bowstring. It only takes one day to make this, and the cost is one to hundreds.
Soon, a steel bow similar to an ancient recurve bow but an American hunting bow shaking hand appeared in Liu An's hand.
There is no arrow on the Chinese style bow, but arrows are placed on the fingers.
American hunting bows have arrows, and arrows are placed on the handle of the bow.
Liu An also had a leather two-finger arrow hook tied to his wrist and hooked the bowstring with two fingers.
After seeing it, Yelu Longqing laughed. This was a bow made by Liu An for himself. Everything was designed for beginners who don’t understand bows, such as arrow rigging and special finger condoms. Only people with weak fingers need this thing.
Liu An handed the bow to Yelu Longqing: "Two stone bows, the military configuration standard of our Song Dynasty is one stone bow, and this kind of bow can allow ordinary soldiers who use one stone bow to use two stone bows."
As soon as Liu An said this, Yelu Longqing's smile froze.
Who would have thought that Liu An continued: "You Liao people make a good bow. I heard that it takes one year for you to make a good bow, and three years for the best quality bow. And my bow is three days."
The sand turning process of the Song Dynasty was already very outstanding. The bow handle and the string hooks at both ends were cast parts. Only the thin steel sheets on the bow body were forged parts.
Liu An did not tell Yelu Longqing that the bow body was actually the spring steel plate of Liu An wanted to try to make the carriage, but unfortunately the carriage had not been successfully shock absorption, but it was made into a bow body.
When the carriage is driving at high speed, the spring steel plate is under great force. According to the craftsmen's ideas, this thing must be able to run 10,000 miles, but unfortunately, under the condition of controlling costs, the best pair of steel formula only ran 3,000 miles.
So the craftsmen continue to try.
However, the material of the spring steel plate that can run three thousand miles can be used to make a bow body.
It is not a problem to pull a bow three thousand times, it can reach up to five hundred and five hundred times. Because the cost is low, it is also OK to replace a new bow after three thousand times.
Use the archer with one stone bow to use two stone bows.
This is a bit scary.
Yelu Longqing called a guard beside him to come over, who had the strength to drive two stone bows.
"Try it. Remember to put the arrow here." Yelu Longqing specially ordered the position of the arrow.
An excellent archer who has used a bow for more than twenty years will know the value of the bow the moment he holds a bow in his hand.
A broken bow.
At most, it is better than the bows used by ordinary Liao soldiers. How could such a bow be interesting to his prince?
As a guard, he thought but couldn't speak.
He could only try the bow as required.
After the five arrows, the archer looked at the fingertips on his right hand in surprise. His fingertips were very relaxed. This fingertips were very interesting. Looking at the bow, the arrows were useless, but the bowstring felt very strange. Although this bow was not hard, the distance shot was a little further than the two stone bows he knew.
According to the standard of the Song Dynasty, the lethality of a stone bow is about fifty to fifty-eight steps, which is seventy-five to eighty-eight meters.
You can fly up to 140 steps, which is close to 270 meters away.
The crossbow is calculated separately.
Yelu Longqing asked: "How about the bow?"
"I can shoot wild boars outside seventy steps, and I can shoot wild boars outside eighty steps."
Liu An said at this time: "This bow costs 300 mins and has a production cycle of three days."
"No, it's impossible." After the guard exclaimed, Yelu Longqing gave him a cold look. The guard quickly saluted and retreated aside.
Yelu Longqing said: "A bow needs to be made for one year. When the bowman makes a bow, he needs to use six materials: "dry, horns, tendons, glue, silk, and lacquer", and must be collected according to seasons and yin and yang. As far as I know, the Song people chose jujube wood as the best and bamboo as the second most."
"Yeah." Liu An just nodded.
Yelu Longqing continued: "Next to choose a cow. The cow must choose the cows that are slaughtered in autumn, because the horns of the cows are thick in autumn and the horns of the cows are thin in spring. The horns of the calf are too soft, the horns of the old cows are too crisp, and the horns of the sick cows are not available. Besides, there are many things to pay attention to, just talk about casting in autumn."
"I've heard of it."
Yelu Longqing continued to say: "Then, we will process dry materials in winter, boil beefs in spring, and treat tendons in summer, and then use glue, lacquer, and silk to make bows in the cold winter. This has not been explained in detail, the choice of lacquer, glue."
"Yes, I know a little bit, too." Liu An did know a little bit, and also knew that Song Jun had a process for making bows, which was very troublesome.
"Yes, good bows are also very particular. People who draw bows quickly should make slow bows, but they should have hard bows. A good bow must be selected."
Liu An said, "I don't care about that much, and I am willing to keep the production of high-quality bows. But if you think about this kind of mass-produced bow, let's think about the encounter between the two armies. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's shoot two rounds of arrows at each other first. This is the most effective."
Yelu Longqing nodded: "That's right, one bow is strong and three steps long."
Liu An turned his head and shouted: "Iron Head, let's lie down and ejaculate."
"Yes, lord."
Lying in the air?
Can arrows be shot while lying down?
Yes, Iron Head just lies and cums.
Liu An didn't know whether there was a real Qin army's violent crossbow formation in history, but it was found in the movie.
If you use the strength of your feet to open the bow, you can lift the iron head and the five stone bow, and you will lie down.
This arrow was a hoist.
