Chapter 244 The Final Roar 4
Beigong Jing came to Wolangling Camp accompanied by twenty black-armored swordsmen. At first glance, he saw three windmills whirling in the wind. In the camp, hundreds of soldiers were thriving, shooting arrows, throwing spears, fighting swords and shields... and sweating all over his head. On the contrary, the Marquis of Li Qu was sitting lazily on a homemade swing to rest, without any intention of supervising the training of the soldiers.
The boss continued to play the bad things, and the team leader had to accept his fate to take on the burden of urging the soldiers to train. He walked around the queue with bamboo strips in his hands. Seeing those who were lazy and those who were not properly moved, he would reward him with a pilaf braised pork.
Although he had been staring at this side and knew a lot about what happened here, he saw with his own eyes that hundreds of veterans who were slippery than loaches and had no fighting spirit suddenly became lively. Zhang Xiong couldn't help but be stunned, and he had the illusion of entering the wrong camp. He rubbed his eyes, confirmed that he was not dazzled, and couldn't help but mutter: "What's going on with these bad soldiers? Why did he suddenly become so diligent?"
Beigong Jing was also a little curious and walked straight over. Xu Guo and Cao Hu and the two Tunchang chiefs recognized him at a glance and went forward to salute. Beigong Jing waved his hand and asked them to continue training, and walked straight towards Li Rui.
Li Rui didn't respond, half-lying and squinting his eyes, which was so comfortable, breathing evenly, and making strange smiles from time to time... Hey, he actually fell asleep!
Beigong Jing was both angry and funny, and shouted: "Marquis Li Qu, Marquis Li Qu!"
Li Rui's body trembled when he was shouted, and he opened his eyes in a daze. Seeing that it was Beigong Jing, he quickly stood up: "Ah, is the Major General here? See..."
Beigong Jing said, "Okay, you don't need to be polite in your military uniform. Let me ask you, did you sleep soundly just now?"
Li Rui rubbed his eyes: "Ah? Did you fall asleep just now?"
Cao Hu, Xu Guo, Yang brothers, Xiang Hong, Zhou Lan and others all silently covered their faces, not wanting people to see their terrible expressions. It is really embarrassing to follow such a boss who is always and anywhere!
Beigong Jing said: "You fell asleep and you slept soundly."
Li Rui said awkwardly: "That... I got up early today, a little sleepy, and fell asleep unknowingly..."
Beigong Jing asked the officers to do whatever they should do, but he circled around the swing, sat up and swung for a few times without any hesitation, and said, "You are doing these things all day long? You can enjoy it even more than me!"
Li Rui smiled dryly and said, "It's all done at a break from your busy schedule, and it didn't delay the serious business."
Beigong Jing said: "I'm afraid I'm just having fun in my spare time? Apart from leading troops in the morning for an hour, what other important things have you done all day long?"
Li Ruizhen said: "Who said I didn't do serious business? I have been working hard to get them!"
Beigong Jing was unclear, so: "Check? What does it mean?"
Li Rui said: "It's just an introvert! Don't they like to be lazy and don't like to practice? I'm lazy than them, ignore them, make them live comfortably, and at the same time make me live more comfortable than them..."
Beigong Jing became more and more confused: "You mean you are playing lazy with them? But what are the benefits of doing this?"
Li Rui said: "There is no benefit, but it's worry-free! Then they soon discovered that they had to work harder. If they continued to be so bad, the major general would be angry and transferred me away. They would have no such comfortable days!" Yangyang pointed proudly at the soldiers who were training hard: "Look, now I don't have to send someone to chase them. When they wake up, they automatically got up and practiced. I won the lottery!"
Beigong Jing: “…”
Zhang Xiong: “…”
What a ghost story? Is there anyone who leads troops like this?
Anyway, they have never seen anyone lead such troops.
Beigong Jing was too lazy to pursue these things, and asked with interest: "I heard you have improved the crossbow?"
Li Rui said: "It's not a question of improvement. It's just that some gadgets are added to make the crossbow more convenient when shooting... It's just a trick of carving insects, not worth mentioning."
Beigong Jing said: "Take me to see."
The Major General had an order, and Li Rui naturally had to obey the order and honestly took Beigong Jing to the shooting range where the crossbowman was trained.
At this time, the crossbowmen trained at the shooting range had already grown from a pitiful thirty to more than one hundred. The crossbows they used were modified and equipped with crossbow holders, front grips and ghost ring sights, and shot very accurately. Many crossbowmen could hit eight shots at a distance of 60 steps, which was amazing.
Li Rui wanted to pass a big yellow crossbow and introduced the usage and functions of the gadgets installed on it to Beigong Jing in detail. Beigong Jing listened very seriously, and operated while listening, and quickly mastered the usage skills. He personally stepped on the stirrups and set up arrows to aim. He shot more than ten arrows in a row, and at sixty steps away from the arrows, and half of them were nailed to the nine-ring to ten-ring areas. Such archery shocked the crossbowmen and cheered: "Good method for Major General!"
Beigong Jing was addicted to it and returned the crossbow to Li Rui. He shook his aching arm and said, "After your transformation, the aiming of this crossbow has become easier, and it shoots more than twice as accurate as before. You are such a genius!"
Li Rui said modestly: "This is nothing, it's just a little trick. Unfortunately, the conditions are limited, otherwise I can change it more accurately."
That is, if he could have transparent glass and other things, he could try to make the original scope, so that the crossbowman could aim more accurately and shoot naturally more accurately.
Beigong Jing didn't care that he was actually like me and I. He looked at him deeply: "Can you change more accurately?"
Li Rui said: "Yes, it's just that there are a lot of materials and I can't make it for the time being."
Beigong Jing said: "Then I am looking forward to it. By the way, can the bow be improved?"
Li Rui said: "The crossbow can be changed, and of course the bow can be changed."
Beigong Jing asked: "How to change it?"
Li Rui called Yang Yong and said, Yang Yong went down immediately, and soon brought a bow and presented it with both hands.
The first feeling this bow gave Beigong Jing, Zhang Xiong and others was that it was strange and very strange.
The reason why it is strange is that it does not look like a bow at all, but like a vertical crossbow. This guy installed an iron slide rail in the center of the bow to firmly fix the crossbow arm. The crossbow arm has no crossbow support, and the machine is placed horizontally, with deep grooves on it, which can put a crossbow arrow that is forty or fifty centimeters long. In fact, several crossbow arrows are really loaded inside.
Li Rui said: "This is actually an improved version of the crossbow. You don't need to step on the stirrup. Grab the grip and forcefully pull the string. After pulling the handle, you can pull the string open. After pulling it, you can pull the machine, and then shoot it again, then shoot again... until the arrow in the arrow box is shot." As he said, he personally demonstrated that as long as he said, there is no need to take the arrow at all. As long as he pulled the crossbow arm hard, the crossbow teeth on the crossbow arm will hook the string. After pulling it, the crossbow arm will be automatically stuck by a device similar to an umbrella sliding device on the slide rail. It will no longer move, so that the shooter can aim. The strength of the battle bow is quite amazing. No matter how amazing the strength is, the shooter does not maintain the aiming posture for a long time. He will have to shoot in a few seconds after pulling it. However, with this device, the shooter does not have to waste a lot of energy when aiming, and he is so calm when aiming!
After aiming, the plate machine is pulled, and the crossbow arrow shot out. At this time, just push the sliding device by holding the bow tire, the device will be closed. The archer gently pushes forward, resets the crossbow arm, hooks the string again, opens the bow, aims, and reconnects the crossbow.
The crossbow arm also has the function of an arrow cassette. It can be filled with six arrows at a time. After one shot, one will automatically slide into the arrow groove, which is very convenient.
In order to make Beigong Jing realize more deeply how great his invention is, Li Rui also asked someone to give Zhang Xiong a bow of the same pound. Both of them shot six arrows in a row with rapid shooting. Zhang Xiong is also a famous archer in the Liangzhou army. Archery has always been known for being fast and accurate, but this time he met an extremely powerful opponent. The guy treated the bow as an automatic rifle and squinted, fired, winded, fired at an astonishing speed. As for taking arrows and placing strings, they did not exist! Zhang Xiong had already taken out his fastest speed, but he only shot two arrows, and Li Rui's target was nailed to six arrows!
This rate of fire is amazing.
Zhang Xiong smiled bitterly and lowered the bow and said, "As soon as this bow is released, the continuous beads will no longer be a rare skill!"
We all know that the crossbow's firing rate is very slow, and it may not be able to shoot two arrows in a minute. "Not even the three arrows in the face of the enemy" means that when the enemy cavalry rushed over, the first three rows of crossbowmen only had time to shoot one arrow, and the enemy rushed in front of them. The bow is much faster than the crossbowmen. A well-trained archers can shoot ten arrows in a minute, and throw a large piece of the crossbowmen. However, the firing rate is still slow, which is far from "Arrows like a bead". Only a very few talented archers can shoot three arrows in a very short time. This is a continuous bead fast arrow. Archers who can use a battle bow to play a continuous bead arrow can be said to be one in a thousand. Such a master can receive high courtesy no matter where he goes.
However, with this kind of haunted bow, the beaded arrow is no longer a rare skill. It saves the process of taking arrows and hitting arrows. As long as the strength is sufficient, the beaded arrow can basically be played!
Li Rui said: "Ejaculation fast is just one of its advantages! Its main advantage is that it can save money and materials!"
Beigong Jing wanted to pass an arrow and looked at it. He found that the arrow was only about one foot and six inches (forty centimeters), and was only half the length of an ordinary battle arrow. In other words, the shaft of a battle arrow can be used as two arrows of this kind. The materials and costs saved are too much.
————The most difficult and most expensive bows and arrows in ancient times were not arrow feathers, arrowheads, glue, paint, etc., but the most inconspicuous arrow shaft. Whether it is a bamboo pole or a wooden pole, it must be straight and the thickness must be as uniform as possible, otherwise the arrow shot will not be accurate. It is quite difficult to make an arrow shaft eighty or ninety centimeters long straight and evenly thick and thin!
