Luo Yu's arrival made Jiang Xingchen sigh. This guy was really time to come, as if he was pinching his hands, and he arrived as soon as he finished his work.
Jiang Xingchen also guessed Luo Yu's purpose and felt a little embarrassed. The Orc Alliance must have been attracted by the crossbow, and Luo Yu must have been rejected by the military headquarters, so he ran to himself again... However, he had handed over the drawings, and such weapons definitely belong to the core of the country. Even if the Orc Alliance is an ally of the Empire, he cannot give it to him.
"Brother, I'm all up to you this time. If I can't complete the task, I'll be miserable when I go back. The Golden Lion heir will be taken down!" As soon as we met, Luo Yu hugged Jiang Xingchen, his voice in tears.
Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitched. This guy didn't talk about the Orc Alliance, but he talked about his own affairs, as if he was in trouble, and he was so smart. However, his tone did not sound like crying, so why did he still sound a little proud?
"Young Master, if you have anything to do, you can just say it. Don't be so close, we are not very familiar with each other!" Jiang Xingchen broke away from Luo Yu's arms, took two steps back, and said quietly.
"Uh!" Luo Yu was stunned. He stared at Jiang Xingchen for a long time, and suddenly wailed: "My second, are you a brother like this? You are so amazing to play!"
Jiang Xingchen's expression suddenly changed, and he laughed and said, "Who asked you to fool me? It's obviously the orc alliance. You have to use your friends' relationship to talk about it!"
Luo Yu looked straight again, stared at Jiang Xingchen stupidly for a long time, and suddenly laughed: "Brother. I knew you were friends enough and would not ignore your brother's difficulties!"
As he said that, Luo Yu rushed forward and was about to hug Jiang Xingchen.
"Don't do this!" Jiang Xingchen hurriedly retreated again and reached out to block Luo Yu: "Tell you, don't think about the design of the crossbow. If I give it to you, the Marshal and the Emperor can beat me out!"
Luo Yu stopped and shouted: "Brother, what do you mean? Do you want to help you with a correct word... We are in the alliance. Do you think we can't use our orcs now with the powerful weapon of the crossbow cannon! If we can't stop the iron armored chariot of Xuanyuan Tianzong, do you think we can resist Xuanyuan Tianzong alone?"
Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said, "Young Master, that's what you said when you negotiate with the military headquarters... How did the military headquarters answer you?"
Luo Yu's momentum just now suddenly weakened. He slowly breathed out and said with a bitter face: "The military headquarters said that he would send us a crossbow unit to assist in defending against Xuanyuan Tianzong!"
"That's all, why do you have to get a crossbow?" Jiang Xingchen walked forward, patted Luo Yu's shoulder gently, and pulled him into the lord's mansion.
Luo Yu remained silent until he sat down on the chair and whispered: "You have crossbow cannons, and Xuanyuan Tianzong has iron armored chariots. You should understand what our orc alliance is worried about!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and pushed the teacup on the table to Luo Yu. He whispered: "You just heard that the power of the crossbow cannon is great, but do you know how powerful the crossbow cannon is?"
"I can break the opponent's chariot within three hundred meters. I never thought about such power!" Luo Yu said.
Jiang Xingchen said lightly: "Actually, the power of the crossbow cannon depends on the impact force, but its movement is a big problem, that is, lack of flexibility. You should have analyzed this. Your cavalry is enough to restrain the crossbow cannon!"
In the last life, the crossbow cannon was used extensively by the ancient Romans and could knock out the heads of enemy soldiers two hundred meters away! In this world, the crossbow cannon designed by Jiang Xingchen has a more reasonable structure due to the different materials and the grasp of the composite force array. The torsion spring has a greater accumulation and a stronger impact force.
But the corresponding problem is not small. Too bulky makes the crossbows seriously lack flexibility and are more suitable for defense. In terrain like the prairie, a large number of light cavalry dispersed and quickly siege them, which can definitely restrain the crossbows tightly.
Luo Yu said: "We know this, but the armored chariot is nothing to do with that cavalry!"
"Who said there is no way? Your cavalry is fast, light and flexible, and it is easy to encircle quickly! As long as you pull the distance closer and fight with the other party, their chariots will have no place to use for martial arts!"
Luo Yu frowned when he heard this, and a strange expression appeared on his face: "Brother, you are joking with me again. The two sides are fighting each other, and our riding and shooting are gone!"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you a good thing when you look back. It's suitable for close-up fights. It will definitely make the opponent unable to find Bei!"
"Oh?" Luo Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked anxiously: "What kind of good thing is it?"
"Haha, don't worry, you came from afar, haven't eaten yet! Let's eat first!" Jiang Xingchen laughed.
"Okay! I didn't think I was hungry just now!" Luo Yu stood up immediately.
When Jiang Xingchen saw Luo Yu's appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched. He wanted to cheer up this guy's appetite, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually go down.
"What a foodie. To him, eating is more important than his task! This guy was crying and shouting to ask me to help him..." Jiang Xingchen was speechless.
Luo Yu looked at Jiang Xingchen's expression and smiled in his heart: "You said there is a way, but I'm still anxious..."
During dinner, Zhao Danqing also came back from Xinzhen after work. The two foodies met together, and the battle situation at the dinner table was imagined. The little girl Ni'er who ran over to eat was so aggrieved that she curled her lips. She didn't eat a few bites at all, and the food was snatched away by the two foodies. In the end, the kitten girl got angry, and the two had to stop. They were both afraid of bees.
After dinner, Luo Yu couldn't wait to pull Jiang Xingchen aside and asked what he had prepared.
Jiang Xingchen did not hang Luo Yu anymore and whispered: "Cross Crossbow!"
Crossbows are also called crossbows. Because crossbows are short and thick, their centroids are easily falling in the front part of the crossbows, so they are closer to the range and not strong in penetration. Even the loading time is longer than that of the bow.
However, when fighting at close range, the crossbow has a more lethality than the bow. The most important thing is that the crossbow is relatively stable, without the support of powerful arm strength, which is easy to aim and has a higher hit rate. Another point is that this thing is simple and easy to learn.
In the last life, Jiang Xingchen saw the big black eagle that Xu Zheng used in the crazy stone in the movie, and liked it very much. So he went online to check it out and saw the introduction of the crossbow and the design drawings of the crossbow. Although his memory is a little blurred now, he still thinks he can recover with the compound power array.
"Cross crossbow, what is that?" Luo Yu asked strangely.
"This...it's hard to explain now, I need to think about it. You can wait for me for two days first!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Okay! Brother, as soon as possible, who knows when Xuanyuan Tianzong will launch an attack? If it is too late..."
"I know this!" Jiang Xingchen hurriedly stopped Luo Yu who was chattering.
In the following two days, Jiang Xingchen began to study crossbows. The material was still hardwood. This material not only has good hardness, but also has good toughness. It is no problem to make the main body of the crossbow, so it is definitely OK to use it as a crossbow.
Crossbow machine, crossbow arms, bowstring... While studying, Jiang Xingchen used the composite force array to judge the force situation, analyzed the bearing capacity and direction of each component, and improved the drawings bit by bit.
With the experience of creating large crossbows and the impression of vague parts in my mind, Jiang Xingchen's progress was very fast.
The next evening, Jiang Xingchen breathed out and handed two pieces of white silk and a light crossbow into Luo Yu's hands.
"Is this thing a crossbow?" Luo Yu looked at the strange-style thing in his hand and asked, "How to use this thing?"
Jiang Xingchen smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing inwardly that he was really a suffering life. It would be fine if he helped him design, but he had to be responsible for the use of the church.
Fortunately, the operation of the crossbow is not complicated. The crossbow arrow is filled and the trigger is pressed, and the crossbow arrow is fired.
Luo Yu looked at the position where the crossbow arrow shot, was stunned for a while, looked at Jiang Xingchen pitifully, and said, "Brother, you are fooling me again. This crossbow is not powerful, and it is probably enough to shoot through leather armor..."
Jiang Xingchen glared and said, "I told you a long time ago that this thing is suitable for close-range battles. It is not as powerful as bows and arrows, but at close range, it is definitely better than bows and arrows, and its lethality is stronger than bows and arrows!"
"Brother, don't play anymore, can you? Their armored chariots can't even shoot through bows and arrows. No matter how close you are, the crossbow can't break the defense!"
Jiang Xingchen was really speechless. If he hadn't been able to beat him, he would have wanted to slap this guy in the face.
"Working up close, who would let you shoot a chariot! Shoot a man and shoot a horse first, and capture the thief first, do you understand... Their iron armored chariots are already bulky, and the war horses pulling the chariot will never be equipped with heavy armor, otherwise they will not be able to run!"
"Oh~" Luo Yu suddenly realized, his eyes lit up, and he nodded frequently.
"Brother, thank you so much! Don't worry, you won't be nuisance. We will pay for this thing!" Luo Yu laughed and hugged Jiang Xingchen's shoulder, and patted him hard for a few times.
Jiang Xingchen grinned, broke free from Luo Yu, and said solemnly: "You can save this design drawing..."
"Hehe!" Luo Yu smiled, and before Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, he rushed to say, "I understand that we will keep this matter confidential and not let the Empire know... However, the Orc Alliance will never treat friends unfairly. If you can't just give money, you will make up for it from other places!"
After saying that, Luo Yu waved his hand and said, "I'll go back first. I won't attend your new town celebration. I'll make up for you in the gifts!"
As he said that, Luo Yu's face suddenly sank, he looked extremely unhappy, kicked open the door of the lord's mansion, and strode away angrily.
Jiang Xingchen raised his hand and murmured depressedly: "Hey! I don't mean that... You think I can get rid of suspicion in this way. As long as you use it on the battlefield, the marshal will definitely doubt me... You might as well leave with a smile. Anyway, the crossbow is not very powerful, so I have a saying!" (To be continued...)
