Chapter 90: Crossbow Arrows

In the next few days, after handing over the previously mentioned knowledge to the Eagle-Eagle-Second class, Su Yun was okay in the Blue Eagle's schoolyard. There was one thing she had to learn-archery.
It was also incredible to say that Su Yunchu didn't learn anything about ancient weapons before he came to this world. Therefore, archery did not start learning until he came to the barracks in the past few days.
Therefore, when Su Yunchu was holding a bow and arrow at this time, his posture was a little awkward and he appeared to be incorrectly shooting towards a target that was twenty steps away. Before the arrow reached ten steps, he fell loudly.
The microscopic people next to each other were stunned. The omnipotent military division did not shoot arrows, but no one dared to make any sound. Therefore, in the quiet campus, when everyone's eyes were on Su Yunchu again, The sound of the arrow hitting the ground was particularly abrupt.
Su Yunchu looked at the arrow that fell to the ground within ten steps, frowned, and meditation for a moment. Once again, he took out an arrow feather from the side of the arrow barrel and put it on the bow and arrow, and adjusted it slightly. My posture, thinking in my heart, with the attitude of holding a gun, this bow and arrow in my hand is her favorite bow and crossbow, try again, but, even though I think so in my heart, the arrow feathers that are fired again are still miserable It fell to the ground.
She hadn't even hit a target with a target that could not be reached within 20 steps. She hadn't hit it once for half a day. Su Yunchu couldn't help but doubt her ability.
In the previous life, I have never learned ancient weapons. It has always been the combat of modern special forces and the daggers that are almost necessary for manpower are her best weapons. Even if you use a crossbow, it is also a military crossbow with modern equipment. In addition, because there is a brother in the compound of the military area in the family who likes crossbow arrows to the extent of being crazy, she has had seven or eight points of research on crossbows, but after all, arrows and crossbows are different. It can be said to be handy, but this bow and arrow, whether it is exerting force or pulling the bow, can not be mastered so quickly.
However, no matter whether it is a bow or a crossbow, it actually uses the knowledge of mechanics.
Murong Yuan only stood not far away, looking at the people who practiced in the field for most of the day but still did not have many achievements. At the beginning, he would also comfort Su Yun with a few words, saying that she was a beginner, and it was reasonable to just start learning bad Zhong Yunyun, however, Su Yunchu was a stubborn person in the end, and his requirements for himself were always higher than others' requirements for himself. Although Murong Yuan initially guided himself, he still depended more on her later. Practice and comprehension, therefore, this exercise is half a day, but the effect is not great.
Su Yunchu will not be stubborn to rigidity. After this practice, if she still has no problems, it is that she has not mastered the trick.
Squatting on the ground, Su Yunchu studied the bow in his hand for a while, and then suddenly turned his head to look at Murong Yuan behind him, "Huaiqing, you can show me a few more times."
Murong Yuan sighed slightly, feeling slightly helpless for Su Yunchu's undisputed temperament, but more pampering and petting in his eyes, he walked to Su Yunchu's side, picked up another bow, and took an arrow, almost In slow-motion playback, Su Yunchu was shown how to shoot an arrow that has always hit the center of the bullseye.
"Achu look good!" Finally the voice fell, Jian Yu flew out, just a hundred steps away from the heart of the target.
After that, Murong Yuan once again used an arrow to pull the bow, but in his mouth, he explained how to shoot a qualified arrow feather with Su Yunchu. "Archery focuses on the placement of the arrow feathers, the length of the bow string, and the way of drawing the bow. , A Chu, look carefully. For different arrows, the direction of the arrows is different, and the position of the control is different. In twenty steps, the upper end is connected in a line with the eyes, the bullseye and the bow. Let go, shoot out, hit the target!"
With that said, Murong Yuan had shot again with one arrow, and it was another beautiful arrow with his voice.
Later, Murong Yuan took another 30-step, 40-step... 100-step swordsmanship, and demonstrated it to Su Yunchu again.
Earlier, Su Yunchu was a little eager for success, plus he was very skilled in using crossbows. Originally, he thought that with his own ability, he could at least quickly learn this traditional bow and arrow, but he didn’t want to. He overestimated himself. .
Su Yunchu also understood a little while slowly observing Murong Yuan's arrow and bow drawing while slowly comprehending Murong Yuan's explanation.
What Murong Yuan said contains a lot of knowledge of mechanics. In the process of spreading a string and releasing arrows, any skilled archer will naturally use the knowledge of mechanics.
After explaining a few arrows in a row, Murong Yuan lowered the bow in his hand, but he looked at Su Yunchu who was still thinking aside, "A Chu, how?"
Su Yunchu didn't answer Murong Yuan's words, but aimed at what he had seen and heard and what Murong Yuan said in the mouth, still meditating quietly.
Murong Yuan originally thought that she could not digest it, and said a few words of comfort, "A Chumo should be anxious, learn slowly, and practice as much as possible. With the wisdom of A Chu, you will learn."
Su Yunchu turned to look at him, and a smile appeared on his face, but he picked up the bow and arrow in his hand again, took the arrow and pulled the string again, adjusted the position of the posture and arrow feather above the bow and arrow, and found the accurate point line, An arrow was shot, and the target was twenty steps away.
Although it deviated a bit from the heart of the sword, this reversal was too much compared to the situation where the arrow fell to the ground not long ago.
Then, in Mur Rongyuan's surprised eyes, Su Yunchu once again took the arrow to pull the string, one arrow was shot, and the target of the arrow was thirty steps away. So again and again, as if playing with addiction, Su Yunchu was already able to hit 80. Archery target outside the step.
Murong Yuan couldn’t believe Su Yunchu’s ability to learn. He didn’t send out an arrow not long ago. This time, it was only after a while...
However, Yan Yishan, who came over later and wanted to make fun of Su Yunchu, was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth. What happened? He just left for a while, and Su Yunchu had a huge reversal? Is she too smart or Murong Yuan too teach?
It's just that Su Yunchu looked at the arrow feathers he shot, and few of them were just in the middle of the bullseye. He inevitably shook his head slightly. "It is still not skilled enough. This traditional bow and arrow is still not as good as the bow and crossbow."
Murong Yuan had already put away his surprised look, but looked at Su Yunchu said, "A Chu understands what, how can he progress so fast?"
Yan Yishan couldn't help but come forward, "Su San, you wouldn't have pretended before, this..."
However, Su Yunchu chuckled, "Learning archery is also skillful. The range of a traditional bow and arrow is up to about 150 steps. This is related to the tension and tension of the bow string, as well as the material used to make the bow and arrow. I just got in touch and couldn’t grasp the skill of exerting force, but after reading several exercises in Huaiqing and his explanation, I also understood that the center of gravity and shape of the arrow feather itself is placed on the bow Different positions will have different launch effects, and the length and width of the bow string will also affect the launch of the arrow itself. This is the expression of force knowledge in the bow and arrow."
But Yan Yishan heard the clouds, what is the center of gravity, and what is the center of gravity?
Although Murong Yuan did not know what strange words Su Suchu had in his mouth, he did not hinder his understanding of Su Yunchu's remarks. What surprised him was that Su Yunchu could sum up this set in such a fast time theory.
Following Su Yunchu's words, Murong Yuan continued, "A Chu is right!" The tone praised Su Yunchu without discomfort.
However, Su Yunchu shook his head, "The range of traditional bows and arrows is too close, the practice is more difficult, and the use in the battlefield will eventually be eliminated." However, Su Yunchu also understands that at this level, firearms It has not been really well developed and utilized. Nowadays, long-range weapons on the battlefield are still crossbows. These words are just unreasonable sighs.
But Murong Yuan understood in his heart why Su Yunchu would sigh, "What is A Chu's opinion?"
Su Yunchu put the bow and arrow aside in his hand, but picked up a bow and crossbow, "I prefer the crossbow to the arrow!"
Saying that, the bow and crossbow in his hand conveniently landed an arrow feather, which was in the center of the target target 150 steps away.
However, today's crossbow is not as good as the level of the later Tang and Song Dynasties, one shot per arrow, the range is not far enough, and the range of the bow and arrow is the same, except that it is simpler than the traditional bow and arrow operation, the significance of existence is not great.
Seeing that Su Yunchu seemed to be extremely skilled at using a crossbow machine, Yan Yishan was stunned again. Who is this woman Murong Yuan was looking for?
Watching Su Yunchu use the crossbow machine to lightly launch a crossbow arrow, and the posture was correct and natural, and then she looked at the crossbow machine in her hand slightly, and Murongyuan's eyes flashed slightly, "Achu's crossbow machine in the army Not satisfied."
Su Yunchu unabashedly said, "It is indeed unsatisfactory. I think that with the current technical level, the shortest launching distance of the crossbow machine should be more than two hundred steps."
Yan Yishan was dissatisfied, "Two hundred steps is far away!"
Su Yunchu looked at him and shook his head. "If there is more processing on materials and machinery, three hundred steps will not be a problem."
"Oh! You're kidding." Yan Yishan couldn't believe her words.
However, Su Yunchu was a lip-sweeper, and should not have Yan Yishan's words.
But Murong Yuan, who was standing aside, actually listened to Su Yunchu’s words, a three hundred-step crossbow machine, which is a level he dare to think but could not reach. Beiliang is a brave nation in the north. In terms of riding and shooting It has always been an advantage, and it is also better than Dah Sing in terms of riding and shooting tools. This is also one of the reasons why the two countries have not seen the battle between the two countries for so many years.
Su Yunchu no longer said much, but picked up the bow and arrow and continued to practice in the field, but looking at Yan Yishan's previous look, he had a slight idea in his heart, I don't know if it can finally be formed.
When I returned to Murong Yuan's camp at night, Murong Yuan was not in the camp because he had to deal with things in the army. Looking at the desk where Murong Yuan was supposed to be, Su Yunchu walked forward, on the table Spread out a piece of white paper, pick up a small piece of charcoal in the stove, and paint something on the spread out white paper.
At night, when Murong Yuan entered the door, he saw that people who were reading military books and analyzing the war reports of the past years were sitting behind their desks and painted things. The lips of the candlelight shone tightly. It is very quiet and very serious. It seems that some girls are less delicate, but more are the calm of the wise.
The corner of Murong Yuan's mouth unconsciously raised a smile and walked towards Su Yunchu.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Su Yun didn't raise his head at the beginning, but he said naturally, "Huaiqing, come over and see."
When Murong Yuan walked over to see it, he saw that Su Yunchu had drawn the shape of several crossbow machines and small drawings of some parts on the white paper with different thicknesses of charcoal pens. It seems that it is very similar to the current crossbow machines. The big difference.
Although Murong Yuan was surprised, he raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is Achu's satisfied crossbow."
Su Yunchu smiled with a smile on his lips, and there was a hint of coquettishness in his smile, "Not yet, but combined with the current level, I think it should be possible to make such a crossbow machine. The crossbow machine that satisfied me is still very good now. Difficult to make."
Murong Yuan's eyes flashed slightly, "A Chu wants to make these in the picture?"
Su Yunchu looked at him with a smile on his face, "How does Huaqing feel?"
"Let's try it first, and then plan if you can." This is the most conservative statement. Murong Yuan will not blindly indulge Su Yunchu.
Su Yunchu understood the meaning from the beginning, but he looked at Murong Yuan and said, "We need a trusted and experienced craftsman specializing in the manufacture of crossbow machines. Huaiqing, I want to try it before returning to Beijing."
Murong Yuan nodded, "Well, I will prepare for A Chu tomorrow."
Hearing here, Su Yunchu said, "Actually, these are not the best. If it is possible, I think there should be a plan for the next step."
Murong Yuan raised an eyebrow. "What other plans does A Chu have?"
Su Yunchu sold a pass with him, "Secret!"
Murong Yuan smiled, but indulged her "hidden not report"
On the second day, Murong Yuan really found Su Yunchu an old man with many years of experience in manufacturing crossbow machines. Among the blue eagles, he was fully equipped. Su Yunchu only communicated with the old man, and took out that he had been processed again last night. She is too familiar with the crossbow machine, no matter what dynasty or dynasty, but she is familiar with all the famous ones. Therefore, there is not much obstacle to the conversation with the old man.
And after Su Yunchu took out the design drawings, the old man was immediately in front of him. "This..." He has been a crossbow machine for decades. He is also constantly exploring and reforming, but he has never seen such exquisite complexity. The thing is holding the blueprint, and his hands tremble slightly.
"Military division...Where did this picture come from?"
Su Yunchu looked at the old man's expression with excitement, and there was still a faint smile on his face, "How can the old man think?"
The old man listened, and his face was even more excited. At the age of Su Yunchu, it was already incredible to be called a military division, not to mention the design that he had never seen before.
But although he was excited, he didn't say much after all, "Okay! The old man must make every effort to see such a crossbow machine and make it, and the old man should have no regrets in his life."
Su Yunchu could understand this kind of feeling for people who are obsessed with certain things, and no longer say anything, "Then trouble the old gentleman, how about the three-day period?"
The old man lowered his head and pondered a little, then raised his head, but he said positively, "But!"
Su Yun nodded his head, "If there is anything unclear in the picture, the old gentleman can ask me."
The old man didn't say much, but he carefully studied the design drawing of Su Yunchu.
In these three days, Su Yunchu spent most of his time with the old man, which was previously handed over to the Blue Eagle, and did not pay much attention to it. In fact, she hoped that she could make a military crossbow in this era. Crossbow machine, but also understand that manufacturing such a crossbow machine requires extremely high precision. Nowadays, it is really difficult to do, but even if it is difficult, she still has the heart to try.
Therefore, in the past few days, the old man was making a crossbow machine that she made according to the level of the Song Dynasty, and she was studying a greater possibility herself.
Even Murong Yuan rarely saw her in the past three days. Only in the evening, they could see them.
The day was three days. When Su Yunchu's design was restored to a real crossbow machine, the most excited look was still the manufacturer. Because of the time, it only made a handful, but no matter what The selection of materials is still in the details. Su Yunchu and the elders have very high requirements. Therefore, the crossbow machine that was manufactured, after Su Yunchu’s first arrow experiment, confirmed that he reached the required standard, he only got Murong Yuan’s. before.
In Lan Ying’s deliberations, when Su Yunchu put the crossbow machine in front of everyone, everyone was surprised. During these three days, I heard that Su Yunchu was studying the crossbow machine with the old man. Everyone just paid attention and didn’t have much thought. Now, I can’t believe the star-shaped crossbow machine that Su Yunchu put on the table, which is completely different from that used in the army.
Yan Yishan first picked it up, almost carefully looking at it, inch by inch, "it turned out to be different."
Su Yunchu raised his eyebrows, "Will General Yan try?"
Yan Yishan already had the eagerness to try, no more, just holding the crossbow machine outside the camp, shooting an arrow at a distance, the use of the crossbow machine is similar, and Yan Yishan does not feel that much. difficult.
When this arrow was launched, it was just the touch, and Yan Yishan already understood that the crossbow machine in his hand was indeed better than the one used in the military today.
Looking at the obvious crossbow arrows in the distance of more than two hundred steps, Yan Yishan exclaimed, "It's really unexpected, there are really such things."
Su Yunchu laughed lightly, "Now I know I'm not kidding."
On the face of Yan Yishan, there was a bit of a conversation, and I even admired Su Yunchu in his heart. "This is not something I haven't seen before."
The person next to him, when he saw this scene, looked at the crossbow machine in Yan Yishan's hands.
Su Yunchu's ability to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to do things now can no longer surprise them. After all, in these days in the army, Su Yunchu always brings waves of surprises, which has made them habitually believe that this mysterious Military divisions can bring them many unexpected things.
Su Yunchu withdrew from the crowd that was trying to use the crossbow machine, glanced at Murong Yuan, and left side by side.
After walking for a while, Murong Yuan sighed helplessly, "A Chu is so good, I'm afraid that I don't deserve it."
Su Yunchu raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Since that is the case, then you go away."
Murong Yuan took her lightly, "No!"
Su Yunchu struggled slightly and whispered, "Let go, this is in the army!"
Looking at the soldiers who were training not far away, Su Yunchu was almost ashamed. Murong Yuan was able to suddenly make such an intimate action to her regardless of the place and time of the occasion.
Murong Yuan understood her shame, and no longer insisted, let go of him, but there was a row of proud looks on the face, "Even if A Chu is so outstanding, that is mine, and if I can get A Chu, I will be between heaven and earth. The best boy!"
Su Yunchu chuckled in his heart, ignoring his rogue.
However, it is the right way, "Huaiqing, Beiliangshanqi shot, you can think of, set up a special crossbow arrow team, the needle point to Maimang."
Listening to Su Yunchu’s exit, Murong Yuan also withdrew his face,
It’s not that I didn’t think about it, but A Chu also saw the appearance of the bow and crossbow used in the army, not to mention, how to form an army, how easy it is to talk, The Blue Eagle is now restricted everywhere."
Su Yunchu understood this level, but just looked at Murong Yuan, but his eyes were shining brightly, "Blue Eagle doesn't need too many people. Today, the number of Blue Eagles is eight thousand, and Huaiqing, eight thousand is not a small number, It is easy to cause other things. If we reduce the number of Blue Eagles and use 3,000 of them to form a crossbow team?"
Because of the large number of people, Lanying has caused emperor Yongye’s fear. Even if he had great achievements in the previous two years, it was because he only listened to Murong Yuan’s orders. , Emperor Yongye has a headache.
Listening to this, Murong Yuan slightly pursed his lips, "This is Ah Chu's idea?"
Su Yunchu was anxious to explain, "Huaiqing, I don't want to demolish the Blue Eagle, I just think..."
But Murong Yuan interrupted her, "A Chu doesn't have to say more, I understand." How could he not understand her, she looks at things more thoroughly than ordinary people.
After pondering a little, Murong Yuan said, "If you let A Chulai form the crossbow arrows team, how does A Chu feel?"
Su Yunchu was a little stunned, "Me?"
Murong Yuan nodded, but there was a smile in the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of trust in Su Yunchu. "I think, there is no one more suitable than Ah Chu." No one can be so short as her. Within time, mastering what you have learned, no one knows more than she does.
