Song Dynasty

Chapter 9 God Arm Bow

Wang Shen hung up the bowstring and shouted, but he couldn't pull it away.If you're not mistaken, this bow arm has at least a hundred pounds of bow force.

Isn't this a joke, you know that most bows in modern society are only fifty pounds.Few people can fully draw a hard bow weighing more than [-] pounds, and such a bow still needs to be customized.

Besides, this bow feels weird in the hand, and I always feel that it is not very convenient.

He looked through it for a long time, only to find that there were falcon heads and sockets in the middle of the bow arm. Could it be that this is a strong crossbow?
interesting.

Holding this thing, Wang Shen already had a plan in mind.Later, you can tie these bow arms together with strings to form a ladder, so you can climb out of the window?
It's just getting dark now, so there's no rush, we have to wait until dawn when the soldiers are fast asleep.

Idle and boring, coupled with exhaustion to the extreme.Wang Shen knew that he would fall asleep as soon as he lay down, so he had to find something to do.By the way, when you are empty-handed, at least you have to get some weapons to defend yourself.My arrow skills are barely passable, and the power of a crossbow is greater than that of a bow. If I equip a crossbow, I will have the power to fight back when I encounter bad guys while walking on the road.

He searched on the ground for a long time, and he really found something in this search.

Sure enough, it is a strong crossbow, with the top stepping ring, attachments, crossbow arms, hook teeth, hopeful mountains, hanging knives, and a lot of mess.

As a crossbow enthusiast, the structure of the strong crossbow is no stranger to Wang Shen.Immediately squatted on the ground and assembled it with great interest.

In a moment, a crossbow took shape in his hand.

Looking at the finished product in his hand, Wang Shen still felt that something was wrong.This crossbow is too big, and it is very awkward to hold in the hand.Moreover, there is no place to install the most important hanging knife, guan and support in the firing mechanism, which does not conform to the laws of physics!

He scratched his head, and then looked at the pile of odds and ends in the warehouse, feeling a little confused.

"Hey, what an idiot, I don't even know the god arm bow, but there is a shelf on the crossbow arm." Yue Yun sneered softly, with disdain in his laughter: "If you can pretend A bow with a divine arm, that is a strange thing."

Yue Yun's family has a long history. His father, Yue Fei, was a master.Influenced by his father, Yue Yun also practiced spears and sticks with his father since he was a child, and became addicted to martial arts like a madman.Just now when Wang Shen was assembling the crossbow, he couldn't help watching it for a long time because of his curiosity.

Seeing Wang Shen's confused face, Yue Yun was anxious and angry at the same time, and couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Ah, this is the God Arm Bow. Is there a shelf on this crossbow arm?" Wang Shen was stunned and couldn't help asking.

"Of course, otherwise, what would it be called a magic arm? What's the difference between that and an ordinary crossbow?"

"Have you used it before?"

Yue Yun rolled his eyes: "I'm not a soldier of the Western Army. How can I use such a military weapon? I heard from my father before. Few people can use this thing, so you should save some effort."

"So that's it. It turns out that the God Arm Bow is a partial crossbow, so I'll just say it!" Wang Shen couldn't help but smile, "It's good to know the general structure. The God Arm Bow, hehe, it's actually right in front of me, which is a bit interesting."

Speaking of the god arm bow, it was famous in the Northern Song Dynasty and was recorded in the annals of history.This kind of weapon was presented by Li Ding, the chieftain of Dangxiang Qiang during the Shenzong period of the Song Dynasty. The bow is three feet long and the string is two feet five.

It is said that this bow has a force of 150 jin, can be stretched with the foot, can shoot [-] steps, and can penetrate heavy armor.

In other words, the maximum range can reach 300 meters, and within the effective range, it can shoot through the strongest armored infantry armor and armor of this era.

On the battlefield, the Western Army has repeatedly performed well relying on this extremely powerful bow and crossbow.For example, in the second year of Jingkang, Xiaozhong was surrounded by Wanyan Yinshuke's army on the Shanxi battlefield. With this crossbow, he withstood the Jurchen cavalry's charge for two days.

In the battle of Xianrenguan in the fifth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Jie, the governor of Sichuan and Shanxi Xuanfu, relied on the divine arm bow to kill a large number of Jin soldiers, which made Wanyan Zongbi's strategy of entering Shu from Shaanxi and capturing Sichuan, a tax-heavy land in the Southern Song Dynasty, completely bankrupt.

Although this crossbow is powerful, in history, except for the extensive use by the Song army, there has never been a record of a large number of Jin Guo deploying it, and no one has successfully copied it, so it was completely lost.

Come to think of it, because this bow is so powerful, the main components and core components of the Divine Arm Bow are managed separately, and its assembly and use are core secrets.

The magic arm bow components in this warehouse must have been carried by Liu Guangshi's Huaixi Army when they set off from Shaanxi. For some unknown reason, they were not equipped with troops, so they were thrown here.

Wang Shen searched the warehouse for a long time, and easily found a side frame, and installed a crossbow.He stepped on the ring at the top of the stretching arm bow, shouted, opened the bow with his waist, and held it in front of him.

Yue Yun showed a look of astonishment: "You actually know this bow."

"What's the difficulty?" Wang Shen was proud.The people of Song Dynasty regard the god arm bow as a treasure, which is also understandable. After all, this kind of crossbow has levers and iron pulleys. This mysterious and mysterious technology is indeed a black technology for them.

But for a crossbow lover like him, it couldn't be simpler. All the principles are recorded in junior high school physics books.

Although Yue Yun was shocked in his heart, he still refused to admit defeat verbally: "It looks good, can you tell me something." He owed Wang Shen a life and was grateful to him.But I don't know, seeing him talking to his sister and seeing the peach blossoms on sister's face, this big boy is not pleasing to the eye.

"Try it." Wang Shen searched inside for a long time, and found a thin wooden stick to make an arrow shaft.Just one arrow shaft is not enough, two pieces of tail feathers need to be glued on.Otherwise, the arrow will float in the air when it is shot.

The weather in late summer was already hot, and the warehouse was airtight and stuffy, making people breathless.The sweat on the body came out one after another, and there was no time to stop.

Wang Shen couldn't take it anymore, so he took off his T-shirt, tore off a few pieces of cloth towels and tied them on the back of the arrow shaft. Now there was only one arrow missing.

This is not difficult for him, in fact, this kind of crossbow does not have any requirements for the sharpness of the arrow.There is even a hammerhead arrow among the arrows used in bed crossbows in the era.Once you are shot in the body, even if you can't penetrate the flesh, it will break your tendons and bones.

He found a hanging knife, tied it to the arrow, raised the crossbow, and pulled the trigger.

"Om..." A huge sound of wind echoed in the character warehouse, like a strong wind blowing.

With a sound of "ding", the crossbow bolt sank deeply into the rammed earth wall, leaving only a small half outside, and the two small pieces of cloth especially swung "huhu" non-stop.

"What kind of power is this? If you are shot with an arrow, you will be killed immediately." Yue Yun naturally recognized the power of it, his face changed drastically, he opened his mouth, and was speechless again.I've heard that the god's arm and bow are powerful, but I don't want Dacheng to be like this.If it was Dad who shot with a hard bow, it must be nothing more than that.

With a crossbow in hand, he is courageous.Wang Shen couldn't help laughing loudly: "How?"

At this moment, the door of the storehouse opened with a bang, and a bright light pierced the eyes, and it was impossible to see for a while.

Surprised, Wang Shen hurriedly threw the divine arm bow aside.

"Keep your voice down." Lu Can's voice sounded, as if telling the guards: "Close the door."

Wang Shen's heart trembled, the surname Lu came here in the middle of the night, and he didn't know what to do, but he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse?
