Chapter 337
"Do you still have questions?" Xiao Yuandu turned to ask her after explaining the parts and their functions.

There is indeed a doubt, "Concubine Guan's ordinary hand crossbow is bigger and heavier than this one..."

The handle crossbow in front of her not only shrunk the body, but also shortened the length of the arrow.

The length of the arrow body of ordinary bows and crossbows is generally two to four feet, which is incomparable.But for ordinary hand crossbows, the shortest is more than one foot.

And hers, the length of the arrow is less than eight inches, even if Xiao Yuandu said that it will not damage its lethality, Jiang Fosang is still skeptical.

"In terms of range, strength and accuracy, it is really impossible to think that it will not be affected at all." Xiao Yuandu glanced at her, then changed the topic, "There is also a really powerful crossbow, you must have never seen it, the crossbow is as long as At twenty or thirty feet, it is completely impossible to launch the machine by an individual, and can only be opened by installing it on a bed and using a winch."

The crossbow he mentioned was powerful enough that individual soldiers could not use it at all, and it was mainly used to defend cities and camps.

Jiang Fosang realized that the principle of one inch long and one inch strong also applies to hand crossbows, but it doesn't apply to her at this stage.

People can be greedy and greedy, but they can't aim too high, let's go step by step.

Bypassing the issue of size and observing carefully, this crossbow is indeed put with care.

First of all, the crossbow is replaced by a connecting rod, which makes it easier to pull and buckle the string, which is completely different from ordinary crossbows.It is the same reason that the crossbow is completely different from the bow because of the addition of a crossbow.

Secondly, the arrow path on the crossbow arm was changed to an arrow tube, and a box was installed on the arrow path, and ten arrows could be stored in the box.Considering that she is a beginner, only half of them have been released so far.

"The trigger is like lightning, four or five in a row, or ten arrows all at once. It doesn't mean that these arrows will be shot at the same time when you pull the crossbow, but—" Xiao Yuandu took the hand crossbow and fiddled with it for a while, Raise it at will and point it in one direction, only to hear a puff, the iron arrow is embedded in the window frame ten steps away.

With the shooting of this arrow, the arrow in the box naturally falls into the arrow path due to its own weight, and then shoots out through the small hole at the front end.One arrow is sent and another arrow is dropped, and in this way, continuous firing can be achieved by repeatedly pulling the wooden pull rod to buckle the string.

In addition, the arrow tail has also been specially treated, which makes it easier for the arrow to shoot out of the pipe and is more accurate.

Xiao Yuandu walked over to pull out the iron arrow, turned around and showed it to her, "How?"

Just now Jiang Fosang was worried that this little hand crossbow was not strong enough, it was useless to look at, and it was okay to deal with ordinary people, but if it was facing a person wearing heavy armor, he might not even be able to pierce his outer armor.Now seeing is believing, completely dispelling doubts.

Xiao Yuandu saw through what she was thinking, and smiled playfully: "Although this hand crossbow is small and exquisite, it is not strong. It is different from those used by civilians to guard against theft. Its range is not limited to ten or twenty steps. Although it does not have the power to destroy mountains, it is easy to pass through Yang. Armor piercing is not a problem. One arrow is called a flying spear, and ten arrows are called a group of crows. Although the body of the arrow is shortened, the damage caused by the crowd of crows in a short period of time cannot be underestimated. I intentionally changed the shaft of the arrow from bamboo to The iron is also to make up for the shortcoming of the arrow."

After a pause, he continued, "If you still feel that the lethality is not enough, you can also apply poison to the arrowhead, the kind that hits the arrow and kills immediately on sight of blood. If you shoot the opponent with a poisonous iron arrowhead, even if the person does not If you die from an arrow, you will also die from poison."

He spoke seriously, and Jiang Fosang didn't think there was anything wrong.

After hearing this, he nodded, "It's really a good idea."

A trace of complexity flashed across his face, Xiao Yuandu twitched the corners of his mouth, "After talking about the strengths, there are indeed shortcomings. Hand crossbows are worse than bows in terms of hit, but slightly inferior in terms of flexibility, and they are only suitable for short and medium distances. Bows and arrows are better." This is why he prefers to use bows.

As he spoke, he handed her the crossbow: "Come and try."

Following what Xiao Yuandu taught, Jiang Fosang was a little flustered at first, and then slowly calmed down.

"Aim at the target and wait until needed to fire, which is good for timing the shot. First aim at the dead object, and then—"

The voice stopped abruptly.

Jiang Fosang suddenly pointed the crossbow at him.

The long and slender index finger is placed on the machine wood, just gently pull and press down...

The room was silent.

Xiao Yuandu looked at Jiang Fosang, and Jiang Fosang also looked at him.

Both had the same expression on their faces, no expression.

After a while, Jiang Fosang smiled softly, and turned the crossbow again, towards the window where Xiao Yuandu had just shot.

After the bang, she sighed with regret: "There is more than a hundred and eight thousand miles between me and my husband's master. I'm afraid I won't catch up with my husband's master."

"With your intelligence, you will achieve something in time." Xiao Yuandu's face remained normal, he looked at the arrow that had deviated from the target and penetrated into the wall, and said, "Before, I only considered using iron arrows to make up for the shortcoming of the arrow. It might still be a little heavy, how about I ask the craftsman to change the arrow body into bamboo wood?"

Jiang Fosang shook his head, "Diligence can make up for weakness, and diligence can make perfect. I'm just a handyman, and I need to practice more. There is no need to change the arrow. When I am familiar with it, I will ask the husband to fill the quiver for me."

Her eyes were full of eagerness to try, and although her tone was gentle, there was a faint certainty that she must win.

It is undeniable that Xiao Yuandu couldn't take his eyes off such a Jiang Nu.

"Good," he said.

Jiang Fosang went over to pull out the iron arrow, the angle was a bit tricky, and he didn't pull it out.

Just as he was about to use both hands, he stretched out an arm above his head, took it off and handed it to her.

Jiang Fosang looked at the arrow, and bent his lips: "I don't think Husband Lord still remembers the joke in Geri Mountain."

Xiao Yuandu thought, I will remember what you said.

He also remembered what he had just said to Cheng Ping in the second hall, after all he didn't open his mouth, he just said: "As long as you like it."

In addition to the hand crossbow, there is actually another surprise.

He recently bought a manor on the outskirts of the city, and the workers are urgently building a pond. He plans to ask the Zhao family's fish breeders to help raise a pond of fish when the pond is completed.In this way, if Jiang Nu wants to eat fish, she can eat it anytime without having to fumble around.

Right now there is no horoscope, so let's not talk about it. Wouldn't it be better to take her to see a pond of fat fish later?

"Since you need to practice hard, you have to choose a good place. This place is narrow and cramped, and you can't use it. How about going to the horse farm? By the way, I can practice riding. I still remember someone once said that he would win me again."

"Is this an invitation or a declaration of war?"

Xiao Yuandu said: "It's you, not me."

There was nothing wrong with the left and right, so Jiang Fosang nodded in response.

Just when I went down to the pavilion, I suddenly saw dark clouds billowing from south to north.The not so clear sky suddenly became darker.

Calamus was worried about the rain, so he advised them to go another day.

Xiao Yuandu said that the rain would not come down for a while.

Turning around, with the palm facing up, she stretched out towards Jiang Nu who was standing on the second-to-last wooden ladder, "Are you afraid?"

Jiang Fosang lowered his eyes for a moment, then raised his eyes again, and handed him his hand, "Don't be afraid."

For more than half a month, Jiang Fosang was accompanied by the hand crossbow, and under the guidance of Xiao Yuandu, he quickly became handy.

That evening, when the two of them left the racecourse, they saw Xiutu riding his horse with a beaming face, calling out to you from afar.

When I got close, I heard the following sentence: "The lord allows you to return to the thorny field! We can return to the thorny field!!"

At the same time, Izumo Temple in Jingzhou.

Hu Changheng, who was dressed in plain clothes, sat on the futon. In front of him was Master Cihang, who had a white beard and eyebrows.

"Dare to ask the mage, the life and death calamity that the mage said earlier, but the abstinence has already passed?"
