Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 234 Excited to the High Captain Gao (Part [-])
At this moment, before Gao Zhang's eyes, there was a batch of manufactured bows.

The old craftsman in front of him gave an introduction very earnestly, and these were made according to the requirements and indicators given by Gao Zhang.

Under the advice of the old craftsman, there are not only board bows made of mulberry and zhe wood, but also board bows made of elm and ash, which are also excellent woods.

Moreover, after repeated tests by the old craftsman and his master and apprentice, the range and lethality of the bows made of these types of wood are not much different.

"The most important thing is that the production of this kind of flat bow is really too simple. After collecting materials, cut out the bow shape, and then tame the bow..."

This old craftsman who has been making bows and arrows for many years looked at Gao Zhang, the number one scholar who was still a child, with admiration, even a little admiration.

When he took out a design drawing and told himself how to make this kind of bow.

To be honest, the old craftsman only thought that the number one scholar was joking. After all, military bows were no different from hunting bows used by ordinary people.

After he trial-produced the first sample that day, he noticed the difference between this oddly shaped plate bow and the general single-body hunting bow.

They really did not expect that such a simple process requires neither glue nor horn pieces, only a small piece of horn needs to be inlaid on both ends of the bow to fix the bowstring.

As for the small piece of horny matter, there is no need to use cow horns at all, only the sheep horns that can be seen everywhere and are easy to obtain, and even the horns of various deer species can be solved.

As for the bowstring, hemp thread or silk thread can be used. It can be said that the price is so high that it is outrageous...

Lu Qian, Na Fu'an and other members of the Gao family were also standing there at the moment, looking at these lacquered bows in amazement.

As the leader of the 80 Imperial Army coaches in the Song Dynasty, Lu Qian picked up a 1.8-meter-long bow and began to size it up in his hands.

Because none of them are wound up, I really can't see any difference between this flat bow and the ordinary single bow.

"How is Brother Lu's archery skills?" At this moment, Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan asked.

Lu Qian quickly put down the bow and saluted respectfully.

"Young master, the archery skills of the lower officials are not bad. If you use a strong bow, you can hit every shot within a hundred paces, and within seventy paces, you can make money."

"..." Hearing these words, Gao Zhang's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, this instructor Lu is really a hero who is skilled in all kinds of weapons.

"Since that's the case, then I invite Brother Lu to give it a try..."

Lu Qian nodded confidently towards Gao Zhang, picked up a flat bow, looked at it a few times, and began to try on the bowstring.

When Lu Qian drew his bow and set his arrows, he heard a humming sound, and the feathered arrows went straight a hundred steps away like lightning.

Everyone's eyes turned toward the distance in unison, until they saw the arrow target in the extreme distance slowly fall down.

Uncontrollable whispers, one after another...

#####
"My lady, where's Zhang'er?" Gao Qiu, who had returned to the mansion, asked with a smile towards Huang Shi who was walking towards him.

"Zhang'er has already returned to the mansion, but he is now in the backyard. Zhang'er brought some strange-looking bows and helmets today, saying that he is waiting for your father, who is a captain, to come and review them."

"Strange looking?" Hearing these words, Gao Qiu couldn't help becoming excited, and after greeting his wife, Mrs. Huang, he went to the backyard.

When Gao Qiu arrived at the backyard, he saw that his beloved son Gao Zhang was standing there with a long pole that looked like a pole, but was somewhat weird.

And that long pole was quite a bit taller than him, but next to him was Lu Qian, who was outstanding in martial arts.

He is bending a long rod identical to that in the hands of his own son Gao Zhang into an arc, as if he is about to wind it up.

"Father, you are back. Daddy, you came just in time. This is the Tang Bangong that I told you about before."

Seeing that his son was so enthusiastic, Gao Taiwei naturally couldn't embarrass his beloved son, took the stringed bow and began to look at it seriously.

"As a father, you should take a good look at it. This appearance is really a bit strange, um... the strength of this bow arm is quite strong, have you guys tested it?"

"Reporting to Taiwei, I have tried shooting this kind of bow, and I have to say that the bow designed by Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan is not only simple to make.

Moreover, its shooting range and strength are probably hard to match among many military bows. "

"At a distance of 120 steps, a subordinate official can shoot through the thick leather on the target.

And at the seventy steps, even such a piece of iron armor is hard to stop. "

While talking, Lu Qian took out the armor plate he shot through during the test shooting at the workshop.

I saw that it was obviously not a crack on the edge of the nail, but a hole in the middle of the nail plate that was pierced.

And this piece of armor is obviously not an ordinary piece of pig iron, it is basically the same as the piece of iron armor worn by the generals of the Song Dynasty, and there are clear traces of forging on it.

At this moment, Taiwei Gao Qiu's face could not help but become serious, and he looked at this exaggerated longbow seriously again.

As a Song Taiwei with both civil and military skills, Gao Qiu naturally also knows how to shoot archery.

After taking the bow from Lu Qian's hand, after weighing it a few times, he began to draw the bow repeatedly, and then slowly loosened the string several times.

Only then did he pick up an arrow and gesture towards the archery target standing fifty paces away.

And on that archery target, there is currently an iron plate used to test the bow's power.

There was a humming sound, and the sound of the string was still heard. Everyone could hear a crisp sound, and the archery target that was originally standing at fifty paces fell to the ground.

Gao Taiwei strode towards that side, Gao Zhang was naturally not slow, but his father was striding, and with short legs he could only run...

#####
Gao Taiwei looked at the iron plate that had been completely pierced by the arrow, and then glanced at the longbow in his hand, and finally his eyes fell on his own son Gao Zhang.

It's just that at this moment, his father's fiery eyes made him palpitate.

Although Lao Tzu is still a child, he is still a majestic court official. He is already 11 years old, okay?

Please, dear father, be more reserved, and don't do anything that damages your son's image of being wise and martial...

It's a pity that Gao Zhang's prayer didn't work. My father strode forward directly, and then stretched out his hands, directly lifting Gao Zhang, the star of the Gao family's literary music.

"Father, if you have something to say, don't come here, hey, hey, put me down quickly..."

Not far away, a group of servants from the Gaofu, as well as that Lu Qian, seemed to realize once again that this child prodigy champion who can always create all kinds of miracles.

He is still a child, a child who will be held high by his cheerful father...

Fortunately, Gao Lian just raised his hand high to express his appreciation and love for his own son, and then let go.

"Okay, my dear, dad is so happy. I didn't expect you to have such abilities. Come on, tell dad about the bow you made..."
