When the Liangshan soldiers saw Xuanzan riding his horse back to the formation, they couldn't help but start making noises.
However, the officers and soldiers in the opposite camp were so frightened by Hua Rong's divine shot that they did not dare to show their anger, for fear of attracting Hua Rong's attention and killing them with one arrow.
Chao Yong watched Hua Rong and Xuan Zan shoot each other, and he was also very excited about his skills. He rode out of the battle and said with a smile: "Try my magic arm bow, and please ask General Hua for advice."
During the previous attack on Gaotang Prefecture, after watching Hua Rong's divine shooting, Chao Yong returned to the mountain and began to look for a bow and arrow that suited him.
Not to mention Liangshan, I am afraid that even in the whole world, I would not be able to find a strong bow suitable for him.
In the end, Hua Rong suggested that he use the Divine Arm Crossbow directly. The Divine Arm Crossbow has a range of more than 300 steps. At a distance of 240 steps, it can penetrate half an elm wood. In other words, it can still shoot at 240 steps.
Penetrates most armor.
It can be said that it is the small crossbow with the longest range in this era. What is even more terrifying is the bed crossbow. It uses the combined force of several bows to shoot crossbow arrows. The range can reach more than a thousand steps. However, the bed crossbow is a large crossbow. One person can
It cannot be carried at all.
Chao Yong also heard the name of the Divine Arm Crossbow in later generations, because the Divine Arm Crossbow is the crossbow with the longest range in human history. However, because there is no physical object passed down to later generations, and the manufacturing method is also lost, many future generations doubt the Divine Arm Crossbow.
The real range is not as far as recorded in history books.
After Liangshan obtained the Divine Arm Crossbow, Chao Yong also studied it carefully.
The bow power of the divine arm crossbow is more than four stones and six buckets, which is more than 425 Songjin, which is about 269 kilograms. Yue Fei is said to have divine power when he opens the three hundred Songjin bow. If there is no mechanism, Yue Fei cannot open it.
It is a divine arm crossbow. However, craftsmen of the Northern Song Dynasty installed ingenious mechanisms on it, allowing some elite soldiers to use their waist strength to draw the divine arm crossbow.
Although it is assisted by a mechanism, the speed of re-stringing the bow is very slow, so the practicality of the God's Arm Crossbow in field combat is not great. Moreover, the complexity of the mechanism determines that the God's Arm Crossbow cannot be mass-produced at all, so when defending a city
Nor can it become the main weapon.
In order to avoid the loss of the divine arm crossbow, the imperial court has records of each divine arm crossbow. Once the city is defeated, it must be destroyed in time to avoid falling into the enemy's hands.
It is precisely because of the scarcity and poor practicality of divine arm crossbows that when the Jin soldiers went south, the Song Dynasty was helpless against the Jin soldiers' heavy cavalry, and the soldiers had to risk their lives to cut off the horse's legs.
And because of the strict control of the imperial court, divine arm crossbows became rare after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Shizhong organized craftsmen to make the divine arm crossbow. However, because some of the court craftsmen died in the war and some were kidnapped by the Jin Dynasty, the precision mechanisms required for the divine arm crossbow could no longer be produced. In the end, only a simplified version of the divine arm crossbow was made.
Although the enemy-defeating bow can also penetrate the heavy armor of the Jin Kingdom, its range has been reduced to a hundred steps, and it is still a crossbow, so its practicality is still lacking.
Although Liangshan was lucky enough to obtain more than ten divine arm crossbows, Liangshan craftsmen could not imitate the sophisticated mechanisms on them. These divine arm crossbows became consumables. Once scrapped, they could not be replenished, so Liangshan never used these divine arm crossbows.
.
However, Chao Yong could draw the divine arm bow with the strength of his two arms, but the mechanism on it hindered his speed in drawing the bow, so he asked the craftsmen to remove the mechanism on it and replace it with an ordinary bow and arrow.
Chao Yong also had the idea of testing arrows when he came this time.
Hua Rong said with a smile: "The first thing in archery is eyesight and the second thing is arm strength. Brother Yong already possesses these two points. The rest is just practice makes perfect. I also want to see the power of Brother Yong's use of this magical arm bow."
"
Although Hua Rong was called the Divine Arm General, the bow he used was only three stones, so he naturally wanted to see the power of the Divine Arm Bow.
Chao Yong rode his horse to a place two hundred steps away from the soldiers' camp. He took out a special iron arrow from the quiver, put it on the string, took a deep breath, and with a strong force, the divine arm bow was pulled into a full moon shape.
Hua Rong looked at the divine arm bow that could not be pulled by ordinary people, but it made a "squeak" sound when Chao Yong pulled it. If he pulled it any longer, the bow might break.
Xuan Zan was behind the formation and saw someone actually drawing a bow two hundred steps away. He couldn't help laughing and said: "This guy must have lost his mind and gone crazy. There is no such a strong bow in the world."
When the soldiers in front saw Chao Yong drawing his bow, they all mocked Chao Yong. Some of them deliberately took away their shields and asked Chao Yong to shoot at them.
It is the ignorant who are fearless.
Chao Yong looked at the most aggressive officer and soldier and suddenly let go.
A black light streaked across the battlefield.
"not good"
Xuanzan heard the faint sound of bowstrings from more than 200 steps away, and was so frightened that he hurriedly leaned on his horse.
But they saw five officers and soldiers in the front row suddenly flying up. The officers and soldiers behind them hit them, and four or five more officers fell down immediately.
Everyone looked around and saw that the five officers and soldiers in front had been shot with blood holes in their chests. Blood and internal organs were flowing out from the blood holes, and they were dead.
When everyone was looking for the arrow, they saw an arrow made of pure iron on the sixth man. Half of it had penetrated into the sixth man's chest, and he saw that the sixth man could not survive.
Xuan Zan saw that the arrow was actually made of pure iron. No wonder it could pierce five people with one arrow and kill the sixth person. If it were an ordinary arrow, it would have broken long ago.
When the surrounding soldiers saw that six of their comrades had been killed by the arrow, they couldn't help but became frightened and started to commotion.
Xuanzan quickly shouted: "Those who retreat in front of the battle will be killed. The soldiers in the front row will raise their shields."
Seeing no way out, the rioting soldiers could only raise their shields in front of the formation, hoping that the shields could block the iron arrows.
Hua Rong was stunned when he saw the power of Chao Yong's arrow.
After Chao Yong saw the small commotion between the officers and soldiers, he raised his shield again and completed the formation. He also wanted to see the power of the divine arm bow to break the shield. He took out an iron arrow again, opened the bow to the full moon, and shot it with one arrow.
As soon as the bowstring sounded, there was a burst of screams and exclamations from the other side.
I saw the first person flying backwards with his shield, and several more people fell behind him. The neat formation once again opened a gap.
Chao Yong did not know how many people he shot to death, but it can be roughly seen that the iron arrow penetrated a few more people.
The officers and soldiers camp looked at the six people who had fallen on the ground, only two got up, and the remaining four had all been killed by arrows, and they couldn't help but commotion again.
Chao Yong saw the opportunity, took out the third arrow, pointed it at the other shield hand and fired, and then fired a series of arrows. In an instant, more than ten arrows were shot out, and dozens of people fell under Chao Yong's arrows.
The officers and soldiers looked at the direction of Chao Yong's bow and arrow, and all their comrades were killed by the arrows. Anyone who dared to stand there and wait for death turned around and fled back.
Seeing this, Xuanzan quickly chopped a fleeing sergeant off his horse and shouted: "Anyone who retreats in front of the battle will be killed without mercy."
However, the sergeants had already been frightened by the power of Chao Yong's divine arm bow and lost their courage. No one wanted to stand there and use their bodies to block the terrible iron arrows. They all avoided Xuanzan and fled back. (To be continued.
