Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Lan Nuo pounced out like a tiger out of its cage, facing the overwhelming arrows. He barely dodged, but chose the most correct path at the right time.

As he barely changed his running movements, the arrows in the sky seemed to have eyes. They passed by his body, at most scratching his clothes, without touching his body at all, and he dodged them all.

Everything seemed to be just his luck, but in fact it was inevitable after precise calculation.

This scene was even more shocking to ordinary people. They watched helplessly as the other party rushed over like a tiger. After dodging all the arrows, it rushed directly towards the spear formation.

The commander of the Iron City Gang gave a panicked order, ordering the first row of soldiers to attack the warriors who were rushing over. Having been through many battles, he already had a bad feeling. Such a super expert rushing over alone might be trying to implement a decapitation tactic.

As the commander in the rear, he was too conspicuous. In the past, he was very safe sitting in this position because no one could touch him. After all, although this was a high-tech spaceship, the residents living here used the most primitive weapons. Even if the range of the bow and arrow was quite far, it could not touch the headquarters. Unless his army was defeated, he would not be in any danger.

It was because he knew this that he placed his command center at the rear of the battle line.

But the current situation is obviously beyond the normal situation, and the strength of the opponent is far beyond expectations. If the battle continues, even if the whole army is not annihilated, I am afraid that my life will be in danger.

The soldier holding the spear tried to use the advantage of the attack range of the weapon in his hand to cause fatal damage to the opponent. However, facing the attack of a large number of weapons, Lan Nuo just jumped up from the spot. Under normal circumstances, jumping into the air would only make him a target, but the height of his jump was far beyond the imagination of these people.

Almost all the force of the charge when running was converted into the force of taking off when jumping.

He rose to a height of one person, exceeding everyone's expectations. He stepped on the heads of the people in the first row, and jumped higher and higher amid the screams of the opponents. He stepped on the heads of the opponents and broke through the formation of the spearmen in an instant. Because he was mixed with the soldiers on his side, the archers in the back row did not dare to shoot. If he attacked in a comprehensive manner, his own people would also suffer a devastating blow. He collapsed without fighting before he even touched the enemy.

The commander of the Iron City State, who was commanding from the rear, was so panicked that he wanted to flee on the spot. But it was too late to flee. He asked his guards to bring a horse over quickly. He knew that he would not be able to outrun the assassins because he was pampered and fat. He had to ride a horse to have a chance of survival. But before the horse could be brought over, Lan Nuo had already rushed into the archers' formation, killing gods and Buddhas along the way. The archers drew their short knives and prepared for close combat.

But before they could see the opponent clearly, they were hit by an inexplicable punch on the vitals and fainted. Or they were hit on the head by a swinging stick and fainted on the spot. There was no one on the road who was worthy of Lan Nuo's second move. The speed of advancement was almost not hindered. When the fleeing horse was brought over, Lan Nuo was already close, and saw that the commander was about to ride the horse and escape. Lan Nuo raised his arm decisively, and the crossbow on his arm fired an arrow, hitting the animal that looked very much like a horse on the spot, and it hit directly from the eye to the other eye and flew out, killing it on the spot.

The commander looked at the horse lying on the ground in horror. The opponent's crossbow was so accurate. If it was aimed at him, he had no doubt that he would have no chance of survival and would be killed instantly.

This was indeed the case. If Lan Nuo really wanted to kill him, he didn't need to jump over the archers. The distance of the crossbow in his hand was far beyond the bows and arrows in this world. After all, he used a composite structure, which was many times more efficient than the traditional crossbows.

Composite structure is actually a very easy to understand crossbow structure. Ancient people often had a misunderstanding that the more force was needed to pull the crossbow, the more powerful the arrow shot out. Their idea was not completely wrong. In most cases, the more force was needed to pull the crossbow, the more powerful it was. But this improvement often had a considerable marginal effect. Those heavy crossbows required several people to wind the string mechanically, but their power was quite average, at least not commensurate with their huge size.

A big reason for this is that when a bow and arrow are fired, the bow itself also consumes energy to move. Under the technical conditions of ancient times, the higher the poundage of the bow and arrow, the heavier the weight. During the rebound process, the mass itself consumes a lot of energy. The speed of the fired arrow will never exceed the speed of the bowstring rebounding. The only way the ancients could think of was to use lighter materials or heavier arrows to reduce the energy loss caused by the bow itself during the rebound process.

But the compound bow is a different story. It is equivalent to adding a labor-saving lever to the bowstring, and adding a structure similar to a movable pulley, which can make the bowstring have a larger rebound stroke under the condition of smaller deformation, so that the crossbow arrow can be fired at a higher speed, reducing the energy waste caused by the mass of the bow itself.

After taking out the dagger and capturing the commander, Lan Nuo considered how to upgrade the military strength of the local forces in a short period of time, which was to make a compound bow. If it were a normal ancient world, he would definitely find a way to make flintlocks, matchlocks and the like.

After all, those things are the pulleys and bearings needed on compound bows that are in line with the times, and they are more difficult to produce than gun barrels.

But this world is different. It is located in a spaceship. It must have inherited the industrial capacity of the spaceship itself, which can be seen from the weapons used by these people. Therefore, the finished products that can be produced may also have bearings and pulleys. If there are such things, it is easy to assemble a composite bow that can be used on the battlefield. The requirements for craftsmanship are probably much lower than those for making firearms. Of course, the final choice will have to wait for him to inspect it on the spot. If there are finished steel pipes with excellent properties and materials that can be used for sealing, then making firearms is also a good option.
