Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 364 Wow, today, I will kill your horse——

Throughout the history of China, the development of the bow.

The most primitive is the single-body bow. In the Shang Dynasty, the combined bow appeared, and in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a perfect compound bow was developed.

The Mongolian bow is also a representative work of the composite bow, and it is a conventional weapon used by the Mongols to sweep across the Eurasian continent.

Speaking of it... In fact, the modern compound bows of later generations are not weaker than the Mongolian compound bows...

Modern composite bows are covered with lattice-shaped holes, and the bowstrings made of twenty synthetic fibers, both in terms of toughness and weight, also have a range of 250 to [-] steps.

Considering that the modern compound bow is easier to handle than the Mongolian compound bow, the force required is also reduced by more than half.

It seems that it is more suitable for Guan Lin to make, and it is more in line with the army combat of this era...

However, Guan Lin decided to use the Mongolian bow, not only because of the 500-meter range of the Mongolian bow, but also because Guan Lin considered that the bow he made this time was given to Huang Zhong instead of building a battalion of divine arrows.

If it was Huang Zhong, naturally, Guan Lin would pursue the limit for Mr. Huang!
It is recorded in "Kao Gong Ji" that there are six kinds of materials for making bows, called "six materials", which are dry, horn, glue, tendon, silk, and lacquer.

As for the material of this Mongolian compound bow, it is extremely exquisite, such as "dry", which is the so-called wood.

According to their quality, they are: Zhemu, Zhemu, mulberry, orange, papaya, jingmu, and bamboo. Among them, Zhemu is the best and the most expensive, known as "golden wood", and bamboo is the worst.

Horns, that is, ox horns, are made into thin slices and pasted on the front of the bow arm. It is no exaggeration to say that the price of a pair of good buffalo horns is as high as the price of all the cattle that Guan Lin eats in a year.

Tendon, that is, beef tendon, is attached to the back of the bow arm. Only very good animal fibers can withstand the maximum tension. The best material is still hard to come by, the best "buffalo tendon"!
When making a bow, the tendons need to be torn into filaments, then dipped in glue in bundles, and glued layer by layer along the direction of the bow arm.

For bows of the same size, the thickness of the stem and corners is fixed, and the amount of ribs determines the strength of the bow.

At this point, only the last "glue" remains, the "glue" that binds tendons, horns, and stems. It is made from animal skins. You can use deer glue, horse glue, cow glue...

But fish gelatin is the best...

When making this step.

The next step is to consider the weight and strength of the bow tire. The bow tire itself does not provide much elasticity, so the lighter the better, the lighter and more flexible. For example, Bawang Xiang Yu holds a [-]-jin Bawang bow, but it is not flexible at all!
In terms of strength, it prevents the bow from cracking or being crushed during the drawing process. The lighter the bow tire, the less power it will lose when it rebounds, and the farther it will shoot!
At this moment, Guan Lin has finished drawing the manufacturing map of the "Mongolian Compound Bow".

But many details are above the manufacturing drawings, and Guan Lin must write clearly and clearly for every item.

Even the reinforcement and waterproofing of the "backbone" should be written clearly.

The silk is wrapped around the bow arm to further strengthen the tendons, horns and stems;
Raw lacquer is applied to the surface of the bow arm, waterproof and moisture-proof, and these things need to be explained clearly in every detail.

Even so...

Guan Lin has not studied the seasonal factors in detail.

Strictly speaking, the manufacture of Mongolian compound bows requires processing wood in winter, processing horns in spring, processing tendons in summer, and then modifying the appearance in winter...

If you follow this process, I am afraid that you will not be able to make a "Mongolian compound bow" in a year...

Therefore, Guan Lin omitted all the steps that have little influence, including seasonal factors.

Between the lines, the two points of "tension" and "energy storage" of the compound bow are particularly emphasized.

——Tension can convert more human strength into potential energy, which is the key to shooting 500 meters;

—— Strong energy storage can keep the power undiminished...

This is also the key to the ability of Mongolian cavalry to shoot through the Eurasian continent.

call…

Finally, I wrote all the explanations on the paper. Guan Lin wrote the manufacturing diagram and precautions of the Mongolian compound bow for almost half a day, and wrote more than 30 pages...

It was also revised for an hour, more than five pages, and then handed over to Milu, who asked him to send it to Jiangling Mianshui Villa as soon as possible.

"Should I just hand over the manufacturing plan to Mr. Huang at Mianshui Villa?"

Milu looked at such a thick book, carefully put it away, he was a little surprised, this is the most complicated manufacturing diagram he has ever seen, it is not big...it seems not simple!
Guan Lin nodded, "That's right, leave it to Mr. Huang and Mr. Liu. If possible, let them make samples as soon as possible. As for the materials of these buffalo horns and buffalo tendon... Well, you can go to my second brother's place again. The Mi family is in the business of merchants. Although these materials are precious, they are expected to be available!"

"Here!" Mi Lu bowed his hands to accept the order, turned around, and planned to leave.

Guan Lin suddenly thought of something.

"and many more."

"Is there something else, son?"

"If..." Guan Lin's eyeballs blinked, "If you see Mrs. Huang Yueying Huang, tell her for me that my junior, Guan Lin, invites his wife to come to Xiangyang to have a talk. The junior can't get away, but he is here in Xiangyang... There are many questions about astronomy, geographical advantages, water conservancy, and disasters related to the war. I need to ask my wife to work hard and go north to Xiangyang to give advice."

Mistress...

Guan Lin directly called Huang Yueying his wife.

This is because, when Zhuge Liang selected his disciples, he asked Guan Lin specially for three questions. Guan Lin also answered these three questions, but the answers were sent back, right or wrong, good or bad...Suddenly, Zhuge Liang's selection of disciples was over!
Only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were left to set up the Commerce Department, abolish the poll tax, and promote the sharing of people into the mu!
Guan Lin is fine... But Guan Yu is embarrassed, he feels that he has been waiting for a long time.

In other words, although Zhuge Liang didn't agree to Guan Lin's discipleship, he didn't refuse, so he simply called Guan Lin as "Master's Wife", which seemed kind.

With this in mind, Guan Lin did not forget to ask Mi Lu again and again, "Have you written it all down?"

Mi Lu nodded, "Remember it all!"

"Then leave immediately." Guan Lin patted him on the shoulder, and also patted the thick roll of paper he hid in his bra, not forgetting to repeat: "When we in Jingzhou can take the head of the enemy general 500 meters away, it depends on how fast you run this time!"

That's what it says...

But for the combination of the theoretically 500-meter "sacred bow" and the hundred-step piercing "sacred archer", Guan Lin... is still full of expectations!
...

...

Bameng Mountain, the entrance of the mountain road, behind Zhang Fei's army village, suddenly began to rain.

Wu Lan, Zhang Fei's general, led a group of Shu troops, and waited calmly behind the camp. The rain was pouring down from his broadsword, and everyone in the team remained motionless.

Xia Houshang and Xia Houde came galloping, and saw the Shu army in the camp in front of them in chaos.

Xia Houde took the lead and led the army galloping, while Xiahou Shang looked at the whole army. He saw the word "Wu" standing in the formation of the Shu army stationed in Houzhai, and he knew it was Wu Lan.

Immediately, he wiped the rainwater off his face, and shouted to his elder brother Xiahoude in front of him, "It's Wu Lan, the deputy general of the Shu army. General Zhang He said that Zhang Fei was already drunk and passed out. If Wu Lan was beheaded, this battle will be won!"

Xia Houde immediately rode his horse and rushed up, shouting: "The thief will kill Wu Lan..."

In this battle, both Xia Houde and Xia Houshang were too eager to prove themselves.

The two teams were getting closer and closer, and even Xia Houde could see the worry on Wu Lan's cheek. He whipped the horse hard, and the horse rushed forward, but unexpectedly collided with the tripping rope hidden in the mud in front of the gate of the village.

Wu Lan suddenly jumped out of the rain curtain and shouted, "Wu Lan is here! You are waiting to die!"

Then he waved the big knife to throw off a splash of water, and slashed at Xia Houde who fell to the ground.

Seeing that Xia Houde was about to be hit by the knife, only a "clang clang clang" was heard, and Xiahou Shang rushed to his horse to meet Wu Lan.

"Said my brother to die? Are you worthy?"

The two fought for several rounds in the rain, and Xia Houde got on his horse again and wanted to support him... The entire Shu army was also retreating steadily.

The Wei army is imposing like a rainbow. Under the leadership of two generals Xiahou, they have already rushed into the enemy's stronghold, and victory is just around the corner.

Never thought, right now.

"Get it, get it..."

There was a loud neighing of a horse suddenly, followed by the Chinese army from Shuzhai, and suddenly a black-headed horse galloped out.

The name of this horse is "Yu Chasing Horse". It is a famous horse outside the Guan, and it is Zhang Fei's mount.

Different from the white horse that he usually rides when he travels far, this black horse will only be ridden by Zhang Fei when he is fighting, but it is Zhang Fei's treasure!

Accompanied by the neighing of the horse and the sound of the heavy hooves, Zhang Fei's signature roar sounded one after another.

"Wow ya ya ya ya—"

I saw Zhang Fei's horse galloping towards him like a whirlwind.

People say that Zhang Fei is reckless, but this "Jade Chasing Horse" is even more reckless. It does not wait for the soldiers behind it, carries Zhang Fei, and rushes into the enemy line one by one...

At the same time, shouts sounded in the mountains and forests on both sides.

All the Shu army who had been ambushing for a long time rushed out, and even Wu Lan, who was retreating steadily, reined in and fought back at this moment... and fought the Wei army again.

At this moment, including Xiahoushang, Xiahoude, and Wei Jun...are they all stupid?
ambush?

How could there be an ambush here?

If there was an ambush, it must be Zhang Yun's side, right?
besides?Why did Zhang Fei appear here? Isn't he drunk and unconscious?Even if he took a step back, he should have fought Zhang Xi on the frontal battlefield, right?

Why did it appear in the rear?Even more prepared!
At this moment, all the Wei Jun were stunned, their entire body...everyone became stiff.

It's just that Zhang Fei didn't give Wei Jun too much time to think.

At this moment, the flames of beacon hit Jiuxiao directly.

The continuous drizzle seemed to be dyed red all of a sudden, as if what fell from the sky was not rain, but blood.

The sound of killing echoed between the heaven and the earth...

Zhang Fei was bathed in blood, holding a Zhangba Snake Spear, and none of the Cao soldiers in front of him dared to step forward to stop him.

"Caught... I got caught! Despicable... despicable and shameless!" Xia Houshang just uttered this sentence.

"Haha!" Zhang Fei laughed loudly, "Back in Xuzhou, your master Cao Cao used the strategy of two tigers competing for food, and separated my elder brother and Lu Bu's family slaves. As a result, I lost Xuzhou and thousands of soldiers died in vain. Your grandpa Zhang has not said anything about such a villainous behavior? Today, you, a junior, deserve to call your grandpa Zhang shameless? Who is shameless?"

In "God of War Zhang Fei's Biography", Zhang Fei has read the story of "losing Xuzhou carelessly" a hundred times, and every detail here seems to be imprinted in his heart.

mean?

If it is despicable, Cao Cao is the most despicable!

"Stop him..." Xia Houshang still maintained his rationality. Seeing Zhang Fei coming to kill him single-handedly, he quickly shouted: "Whoever can kill this black-faced ghost will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and dozens of personal guards immediately went to stop Zhang Fei.

But Zhang Feizhang waved the Eight Snake Spear, the woods were red, the grass was red, the wind was howling, and the earth was shaking... With just one blow, more than ten cavalrymen were knocked off their horses in front of them...

One of them died instantly as if he had been hit in the chest by a heavy force!The rest of them clutched their chests in agony!

On the other hand, Zhang Fei...

He is as free as a god, and the Zhangba Snake Spear in his hand is like a humanoid meat grinder in the battlefield. There is no enemy within three meters.

"Wow ya ya ya ya—"

Zhang Fei's offensive disappeared, and a pair of leopard eyes stared at Xia Houshang.

Xia Houshang had never seen such a "killing god", he was almost scared to pee, but the surrounding Shu army came to kill them one after another, trapping them in the middle... There is no way for him to retreat!

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the name Zhang Fei gave Xia Houshang a lot of deterrence.

His roar is even more deterrent!

"Stop him, stop him..." When Xia Houshang spoke again, there were only a few personal guards left in front of him, and he raised his gun tremblingly...wanted to fight Zhang Fei...

But there was only a roar, and the roar seemed to be right next to my ears, right in front of my eyes.

"Today, I will cut your horse off—"

Immediately afterwards, the snake spear that Zhang Fei drank angrily rushed towards him. The majestic force at the edge of the snake spear roared, passing through the two soldiers in front of him, and the snake spear was about to penetrate Xia Houshang's abdomen.

Fast, too fast!
Tyrannical, too powerful.

It was so fast and so tyrannical that Xia Houshang had no time to react.

At this moment... Xia Houde flew onto Xia Houshang's body, and the blood splashed in the rain curtain to form a red rain flower...

Only Xia Houde's long scream was heard.

"what--"

Xia Houshang was pushed off his horse by a huge force...

Xia Houde was born to take Zhang Fei's heavy spear for his younger brother Xia Houshang...

At this time, the ambushing Shu army had already arrived, and Xia Houde, who was seriously injured, jumped up and stared at the transparent hole in his lower abdomen. He pushed Xia Houshang and shouted: "...run, run..."

"Xiahou's family can't live without me, it can't live without..."

The last word "brother", which cannot be without a brother, cannot be blurted out because of the pain.

Xia Houshang's eyes were full of tears, seeing red blood spattering on his elder brother Xia Houde's body through the rain curtain, he cried out in pain, "Brother...Brother..."

Like a dying beast, Xia Houde rushed towards Zhang Fei frantically, blocking Zhang Fei's attack.

The Zhangba snake spear pierced his body again, but he hugged the spear... roaring and rushed towards Zhang Fei, as if he was delaying the last time for his brother.

Several personal soldiers staggered to help Xia Houshang get on his horse, and protected him as he rode away.

After Xia Houde was already a strong crossbow, Wu Lan cut off his neck with a single knife, and saw blood gushing out, but it was not strong, but his extraordinarily stalwart body still supported the spear, and did not fall down for a long time.

"Xia Houshang escaped...does the general want to chase him?" Wu Lan asked Zhang Fei in the rain.

Looking at the rain screen, Zhang Fei still had a slight smile on his lips. With a rough voice, but a relaxed tone, he softly said, "Escape? Where else can he escape? Don't chase, this kid can't escape!"

On the other hand, at this moment, a group of Shu soldiers stared at Xia Houde's body in shock, and someone asked, "Third General, what about his body?"

Zhang Fei's mind was moved, "He's not capable, and his head is not good. Thanks to his loyalty and bravery, let's bury him! Bury his head together."

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei raised his eyes, no longer distracted by this small victory, his thoughts seemed to have passed through the battlefield far away, and he looked to the northwest.

He murmured in his heart: "Master Wen, it's up to you next!" 』

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei added another sentence in his mind.

——"Next, let's see what the elder brother does too! 』

Because of "God of War", Zhang Fei knows the layout of Mount Bameng very well, and because he has read this chapter more than 100 times, Zhang Fei can be said to be practice makes perfect, this battle... did not follow the original "strategy" above this chapter at all.

Instead, a bold attempt and pioneering was carried out!
This can be regarded as "reviewing the past to learn the new", and it can also be regarded as Zhang Fei himself can be his own teacher!
This is also true, Fang can be called the God of War!

...

...

In Dangkou Military Village not far from Bameng Mountain, in the withered grass beside the pontoon bridge, many crossbowmen waited quietly in the night.

It's dusk now...

The light rain came and went quickly, and as the light rain receded, a thin layer of mist appeared in the whole place, and everything was very quiet and peaceful.

A moment later, Xia Houshang, who blushed from crying, rode a horse and quickly fled back here with the remnants of the defeated general.

"crunch..."

It seems that because of seeing the flag of Wei Jun, the gate of Dangkou Military Village was opened, Xia Houshang lowered his head, and led his troops back to Dangkou Military Village in great annoyance, and retreated into the last sheltered harbor.

"Advanced village... rest!"

Xia Houshang gave an order, and the soldiers lit the torches and marched towards the Dangkou army stronghold in a shadowy manner.

Wei Yan in the withered grass immediately gave the order: "Shoot"!
Immediately, the ambushing crossbowmen fired their arrows together, and there were screams in front of the entire Dangkou Military Village, and countless Wei soldiers were all in the end.

Xia Houshang was startled... He was astonished at how could there be an ambush in the Dangkou military stronghold?
Speaking of which, this was when a remnant soldier retreated. When they saw the army stronghold, they were at the weakest point of defense in their hearts. Many soldiers had already put away their weapons, but Shuicheng County...

"There is an ambush, retreat quickly, retreat quickly—ah..."

An arrow hit Xia Houshang, and he also fell off his horse...

At dusk, arrows rained like rain, and corpses... Countless corpses of Wei Jun were lined up in front of the gate of the Dangkou Military Village.

You know, just half a day ago, this was their military stronghold, but now...these dead bodies, how could they know that the gate of the stronghold had already changed to the King's Banner.

After several rounds of volleys, Wei Yan took the soldiers to clear the battlefield. A soldier pointed at Xia Houshang's body and pointed at the portrait in his hand, "General, he is the general of Dangkou Village, Xia Houyuan's very respected nephew——Xiahoushang!"

Well…

Wei Yan walked up to Xia Houshang's body. He had three arrow wounds on his body and another wound that seemed to be scratched by a spear.

Of course, these are not important.

"Ha ha…"

Wei Yan smiled slightly, stretched out his fingers to sip the blood gushing from Xia Houshang's wound, and then put it on Wei Yan's own lips.

He seemed to be savoring it carefully.

As if feeling a trace of the fishy smell in the blood, Wei Yan shook his head, and finally uttered a sentence with a sense of irony.

——"Wei Jun? That's it? This general hasn't used his strength yet!"

...
