There is only one pair of 'God Arm Crossbow' in their village, which was handed down from his grandfather's generation and is several decades old.

Now they are used to defend and deter those lake bandits and water bandits.

Not to mention, since Wang Tiezhu fought out the ‘God Arm Crossbow’ in an abandoned arsenal.

The bandits who were born and raised in Weishan Lake spread the word from one to another, but they really didn’t have any idea of ​​​​their Jianghu Village!

However, maybe it’s because they are too poor!

"Drag that 'God Arm Crossbow' here, I want to test its power."

Next to the abandoned pier by the lake, I only heard, "Buzz...boo...bang".

Following several extremely dull sounds and a scream that broke through the air, a huge wooden ship plank two hundred steps away shook violently.

The 'God's Arm Crossbow' fired four crossbow arrows that were much larger than ordinary arrows. Two of them penetrated and flew out of the wooden ship's plank, and then fell to the ground after more than ten steps.

The other two branches were nailed to the body of the wooden boat plank, and except for the arrow tail, they were all submerged inside the wooden boat plank. There was more than a foot exposed from the back of the wooden boat plank.

One branch lifted up the bow of the wooden boat plank, and another actually shot through the wooden boat plank and then sank directly into the trunk of the big tree with the wooden boat plank tied behind it.

After his rebirth, Zhao Xiong discovered that his eyesight was 2.0, which was much better than his eyesight in his previous life.

At such a distance, the dust kicked up by the crossbow arrow inserted into the wooden board was like exploding moldy tofu.

Zhao Xiong walked forward with Li Ge, Liu Sheng and others, and took a breath of cold air when they saw the fishing boats that were damaged by crossbow arrows.

Looking at the ship plank damaged by four crossbow arrows, his eyes were full of fear. The power of a divine arm crossbow was so powerful.

Zhao Xiong remained calm, but he also took a breath of cold air in his heart. In front of this kind of weapon, infantry armor and cotton armor are almost like paper.

Zhao Xiong couldn't think of any armor in this era that could completely block the damage of this kind of crossbow arrow.

As for whether people wearing plate armor can block it, I guess it’s doubtful!

Even if there is no penetration, you will still suffer serious internal injuries.

Zhao Xiong looked carefully and saw that the arrowhead of this 'God's Arm Crossbow' was not the most common diamond-shaped arrowhead, but a relatively wide reverse crescent.

After preliminary polishing, the cutting edge is quite sharp. When flying at high speed, it can cause devastating damage to the enemy by relying only on kinetic energy.

It is said that the range of the 'God's Arm Crossbow' can reach more than 300 steps, which means that as long as the enemy is within 200 steps, he will be turned into scum in minutes.

He felt his throat was a little tight and coughed twice. He still underestimated the creativity of the ancients, such a terrifying weapon.

When I came to Dakang Dynasty, this was the first time I saw such large-scale weapons of destruction. It was no better than those muskets.

But it is difficult to transport, so we can only fix the place to defend the city.

After a second thought, it became clear again.

Facing enemies moving at high speed on horseback, the lethality of this weapon will be greatly reduced, and the long winding time is a fatal flaw.

But even so, as long as it is used properly, the power of this weapon cannot be ignored.

Looking at Li Gebaihu's surprised gaze, Zhao Xiong coughed and asked, "Have you never seen this thing before?"

Li Ge bowed and replied: "I have been on duty at my adoptive father's house in the past few years. I sent supplies to the northeast border the year before last, but I have never seen such a sharp bow and arrow.

However, when we fought with Lao Maozi, the artillery used by the Northeast Frontier Army exploded people one by one, which was even better than this, but it was just not accurate, haha!"

Zhao Xiong remembered the situation in the Northeast. The newspaper a few days ago said that the vanguard troops heading north won a great victory and drove Lao Maozi to the north of Heihe. I don't know if it is true.

Li Ge then whispered: "I have seen a 1,000-pound iron cannon and transported it with it. It has such a sharp weapon. Outside the Dakang Pass, I heard how come it has been defeated repeatedly?"

Zhao Xiong was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and suddenly laughed and patted him on the shoulder

"Then you have to ask, ministers above the imperial court, we lower class people don't have to worry too much.

When the sky falls, a tall man holds it up."

Through conversations with Zhao Xiong these days, Li Ge discovered that what this man said occasionally had some out-of-touch remarks.

But when I look back and analyze it, I feel very surprised. It seems that what he said is the truth in retrospect.

Zhao Xiong pulled out a crossbow arrow with force and looked at the polish on the back edge of the arrow, and there was still a little rust on the edge.

He smiled and said:

"I don’t know how long these crossbows have been in the arsenal of the Acropolis. Have they been there for decades? I even guess that even the owner of these weapons has never seen these things..."

Next to them, Wang Xiaoqi and Wang Tiezhu have no interest in fighting at all, and they are basically military idiots.

However, they still treasured the important defense weapon of their village, so they picked up the crossbow arrows on the ground with great care.

"This kind of weapon is not unpreventable. A thick wooden shield can withstand it, but it is still terrifying..."

At this time, the little aunt came over and looked at the crossbow arrow carefully and said.

Zhao Xiong smiled heartily:

"I think firearms will still be the mainstream of development in the future.

This crossbow took too long to cock. This time was enough for the musket to hit more than three rows of lead bullets, which was enough to suppress the enemy's charge."

"Moreover, this crossbow is very powerful, but it is not easy to hit a moving target.

There is only one here. If it can shoot four crossbow arrows at one time in the narrow road of the military camp, it will be fatal to the dense infantry formation.

But it is not effective against cavalry running at high speed.

And it does take a long time to make, it’s not as easy as making a small cannon, and it doesn’t cost much!”

The little aunt smiled sweetly and said: "Master Jiu doesn't know where he is. There are only tens of thousands of taels of silver deposits in the Ministry of Household Affairs (May 1836), which is not as much as the deposits of Shanxi Bank in the capital.

When we left Beijing, food transportation in the capital was also interrupted, and the price of rice tripled, making many people in the capital so hungry that they jumped into the river.

As far as I know, the current imperial court has used various means and is still extremely strapped for money. As a result, everyone from the Northeast Camp to the main camp is short of money.

It's just that those Jin Yuwei who can find a lot of shit in the pig pen are trying their best to ransack their homes..."

The little aunt smiled bitterly in the smoke.

When Zhao Xiong looked at her, she had a different kind of beauty, she was very beautiful!

Zhao Xiong coughed twice and sighed:

"That's all the business of the imperial court, so we won't talk about it.

I think this crossbow is old, and the crossbow arrows are all different sizes. Except for the length of the arrow shaft, the other parts are more or less different.
Chapter completed!
