The strongest engineering student in ancient times

Chapter 45 Is the bow and crossbow easy to use?

Qi Yibai only brought three pairs of bows and crossbows for sale this time, but there were more than a dozen people who wanted to try them, and they couldn’t buy them even after trying, but Qi Yibai let them all try it once, and when they were almost After the shot, he clamored to buy it.

He had no choice but to say that he could pre-order, and those people knew that there were only three sets of bows and crossbows, so they agreed. Originally, Qi Yibai planned to sell one set to Gu Chenghu and the other to Liu Lei, but Liu Lei didn't care about the tried-out bows and crossbows. He said he wanted to buy them together, but he couldn't wait for a few days. He himself is the head of the nursing home of a big family, and there is no harm in having a crossbow that can be easily shot.

After the bows and crossbows were pre-ordered, those who pre-ordered the crossbows began to learn bicycles. This was a waste of time, but for the sake of money, Qi Yibai taught patiently, because the time was too short, and they could not learn so quickly, but they could already feel it. Seeing the benefits of this bicycle, they all waved their hands and said they would book it.

This time, a total of eleven were planning to buy bows and crossbows, and three said they wanted bicycles. Although this was a big deal for Qi Yibai, he felt a little tired. If he had to teach them how to ride a bicycle every time, it would be hard work. It also takes a lot of time. I hope that after a while, when there are a few more bicycles, people will start to accept that they don’t need to learn to buy it.

Qi Yibai made an appointment with them, five days later before noon, Bian will come to the gate of the city, and let those who have made reservations come to the gate of the city to find him.

In the evening, Qi Yibai stayed at the inn, and planned to go back to Xibei Village tomorrow to talk about the bows and crossbows and the house. He didn't know if Uncle Zhao would be able to make fifty sets of bows and crossbows within five days.

He suddenly thought, if the demand for bows and crossbows increases in the future, will it be too late for Uncle Zhao to do it by himself?

It seems a little early to think about this matter now. Qi Yibai thought about the house, and felt that no one would accept the task he released. He might as well buy a blueprint of an ancient building first. If there is anything missing, he can study it slowly by himself.

Unexpectedly, when he just opened the system interface and was about to buy blueprints, he heard the notification sound of ding dong ding dong, and the social bar also indicated that there was new news.

Qi Yibai opened it suspiciously, and saw the sign that the task was completed. In the middle was a faintly glowing grid, inside which was a rolled-up blueprint icon. Below the grid were preview, extract, and reject keys.

Qi Yibai clicked the preview button, and what appeared was a blueprint explanation in 3D video mode, above which was an electronic audio version of the explanation, showing how to build this kind of house, which is a house made of lower stones and upper blue bricks. It is strong enough, and the style is quite similar to a courtyard house, but it has more basements and secret passages, both bathrooms and kitchens, and a high stone wall is designed on the periphery. Most importantly, it also demonstrates how to build a biogas digester. When the whole is down, the soil required And the wood is very good, almost only the beams, windows and roof need wood blocks, and it is also reminded that if the tile roof is not used, it can be replaced with an iron tile roof.

After reading it, Qi Yibai's only feeling is that the house is too strong, isn't it a city wall?

However, the style is quite good, and it is also beautiful. It is not the kind of uneven design, on the contrary, it is very flat. He thinks that if he adds a high sentry tower, he doesn't have to worry about safety at all.

He wondered if this kind of house would take too much time and effort, but Qi Yibai suddenly remembered that Wei Qing said that there might be wars here, and if one day the enemy really came to Xibei Village, wouldn't such a house be the best life-saving house!

Thinking of this, he simply decided to take the design. After he chose to withdraw it, the system also showed that [-] system coins would be deducted.

After getting the drawings, I found that there were not only one, but three. The first one was the structure of the house, the second one was about the details, and the third one was the interior hardcover design.

Because it is very detailed, so basically look at a lot of places, Qi Yibai can do it himself.

After having these blueprints, he felt at ease, and returned to Xibei Village early in the morning.

……

Xiao House.

County Magistrate Xiao was passing through the corridor next to the garden with his master, discussing the recent situation in Shuixi City.

The master said to the magistrate Xiao with a solemn expression:

"My lord, bandits are raging in the north. Judging from the signs of their activities, they seem to be coming towards our Shuixi City. If they really come, I am afraid that many people will suffer."

County magistrate Xiao frowned slightly, and said worriedly:

"Our city only has less than a thousand soldiers and horses. If the bandits come, I'm afraid they really won't be able to catch them. You post a notice to let the people pay attention to the recent bandits, and let the people abstain. If you find them The bandits encourage them to take up the weapons in their hands to defend against the enemy, but they must also be reminded not to be reckless, and to save their lives."

Although this is actually not very effective, after all, how can the common people be as strong as the bandits and all of them carry knives. impossible.

County magistrate Xiao is very troubled. The situation is very serious now. He visited the prefect a few days ago and learned that Xita is about to move. He is worried that there will be a fight next year. At that time, the entire Shuixi County may fall, but it is very chaotic everywhere now. , Xita has not yet called, and the imperial court will not send troops to come, so they can only do their best and obey the destiny.

"What's going on, sister, why did you shoot again, we're going to be cheated of all our money, did you do something wrong!"

At this time, County Magistrate Xiao and Master suddenly heard the noise in the garden, and stepped forward suspiciously, and saw two handsome young men staring at the proud Xiao Yunuan:

"Quickly tell me the truth, usually you shoot ten arrows, and you can't hit ten arrows."

"Sir, tell me quickly, is my sister cheating? She has shot five arrows in a row!"

Xiao Yunuan made a grimace and said with a giggle:

"I would like to bet and admit defeat, and I will teach you all the money!"

Seeing this, County Magistrate Xiao frowned and asked:

"Hua'er, what are you doing?"

When Xiao Yuhua, Xiao Yuyuan, Mr. Qishe and Xiao Yunuan saw Magistrate Xiao, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Only then did Xiao Yuhua and the others say:

"Father, my sister found a strange bow and arrow from somewhere, and it hits a hundred shots, even shooting five arrows, and the point is in the bull's-eye!"

"That's right, father, my sister deliberately lied to us to compete with her in archery, saying that she would give you a tael of silver for every arrow she shoots. My sister has shot five arrows in a row, and we only hit two arrows!"

Xiao Yunuan's archery skills are bad, Xiao County Magistrate and Master have heard about it, but now they heard that Xiao Yunuan hit the bull's eye with five consecutive arrows, is it going to rain red? !

Only then did Xiao County Magistrate and Master see the bow and crossbow that Xiao Yunuan was holding in his hand.

It looks weird, but somehow it feels imposing, and its structure is complicated. Is this a bow and arrow?

Xiao Yunuan said more and more proudly:

"I've said that I'm a sharpshooter, but you don't believe me. Now you should know that I'm not lying!"

Everyone twitched their mouths when they heard the words, and even the husband was silent. He was the one who knew best how Xiao Yunuan usually shoots arrows according to circumstances.

The master felt strange and couldn't help asking:

"Miss San, did you really hit the bull's-eye five times in a row with the bow and arrow in your hand?"

Xiao Yunuan said confidently:

"Even if I shoot five more arrows, I can still hit the bull's-eye again and again. Why don't you take a bet with me, Master, I will definitely hit every shot."

Xiao Yuhua and Xiao Yuyuan hurriedly advised:

"Master, you can no longer be fooled by my sister. My sister's bow and arrow are really tricky!"

Seeing that they were all fooled, Xiao Yunuan laughed loudly and said:

"It's not a trick, this crossbow is so easy to use, as long as you know how to use it, you can hit a hundred shots!"

Several people were very surprised, County Magistrate Xiao looked at the crossbow and asked:

"Yu Nuan, where did you come from? Can you really hit a hundred shots?"

Xiao Yunuan immediately said to Xiao County Magistrate:

"Father, if you don't believe it, try it yourself, as long as you try it, you will know its power."

"Sister, let me try."

"Let me come, I also want to see if it is so magical."

Xiao Yunuan didn't let them come, but let Xiao County Magistrate come by himself.

County magistrate Xiao took a bow and crossbow and tried to shoot an arrow as Xiao Yunuan taught him, but he really hit the bullseye.

The master looked at County Magistrate Xiao in shock, and County Magistrate Xiao had a look of disbelief on his face.

Seeing this, the master hurriedly asked:

"My lord, is it because of the crossbow that you were able to shoot, or..."

County Magistrate Xiao said embarrassingly and euphemistically:

"It should be because of the crossbow."

After all, his archery skills are actually not very good, and it is common for three or four out of ten arrows to hit.

The master understands the meaning of magistrate Xiao's words.

At this time, Xiao Yuyuan and Xiao Yuhua couldn't help but hurriedly took the bow and crossbow to try. After shooting a few arrows, they were almost stunned, and even their husband and master shot an arrow.

When the master saw that he was also shot, he was very surprised and said:

"This bow and crossbow can hit a hundred shots!!"

He looked at County Magistrate Xiao in surprise and said:

"My lord, this bow and crossbow is amazing. If all of us common people can have a pair, we should be able to fight against bandits. It is easy to use, and even women and children can use it. Being able to use it, even our yamen can make them match it, after all, it is too simple to use."

"My lord, the barracks may not be usable. Although this crossbow is indeed amazing, its range is not comparable to that of the bows and arrows in the barracks. It's a pity that if it has a longer range, it can really replace the bows and arrows. However, the Yamen and the People, you can really match a pair, within a distance of twenty or thirty feet, the power of this bow and crossbow is still strong."

At this time, the teacher who taught Xiao Yunuan and the others explained that he tried the crossbow, but he could only estimate that the effective range of the crossbow should not exceed [-] feet. If it is used in battle, the range will become useless.

Xiao county magistrate heard this and sighed:

"It's a pity, it's very good to use. If there are such practical bows and crossbows in the barracks, it will be even more powerful."

Xiao Yunuan heard this and said:

"Father, maybe that brother can make a more powerful crossbow. You don't know how powerful he is. He can also make a bicycle that can walk without being pulled by a cow or horse. I have already learned it. , He will send it to me in a few days, and then I will open your eyes! How about I ask him if he can make a more powerful crossbow with a longer range?"

Both the master and the gentleman nodded and said:

"If we can really make better bows and crossbows, the combat effectiveness of the barracks will definitely be improved a lot!"

County magistrate Xiao also nodded expectantly and said:

"Yu Nuan, you have to remember this, don't forget it easily!"

If he can really make a crossbow with greater power and range, he can go to the prefect to make a proposal. The prefect has [-] soldiers and horses. If they all use powerful crossbows, their strength should be enhanced. At least, when Xita really calls, maybe he can really resist Xita.

Bows and crossbows were highly valued by County Magistrate Xiao and his master, and at the same time, the same was true for the Tiger Roaring Escort.

Gu Chenghu was surrounded by everyone and asked where the crossbow came from:

"Huzi, you are too dishonest. Knowing that there are such good things, you just bought a pair for yourself and didn't give them to me. Is it reasonable?!"

"That's right, we are brothers who were born and died, and you don't even think about us when you see good things!!"

"No, today you will take us to buy this bow and crossbow. With it, we will be able to feel more at ease when we are holding darts in the future. If anyone dares to rob the dart, I will shoot him into a sieve!"

When these bodyguards were practicing archery just now, they found that Gu Chenghu was shooting arrows with the strange bow and arrow they bought yesterday. They didn't care much about it at first, but who knew that Gu Chenghu shot ten arrows in a row, and all ten arrows hit the target. This is a miracle!

So there was a scene where they condemned Gu Chenghu.

Gu Chenghu said in embarrassment:

"Yesterday, the little brother only had three pairs, all of which were sold out. I don't know where he is. We saw him at the gate of the city. He said he would be at the gate of the city in five days. Now I don't know where to go." Where can I find him..."

Gu Chenghu didn't expect these brothers to like this bow and crossbow so much. If he had known about it, he would have bought another pair.

Seeing Gu Chenghu's appearance, the escorts should not have lied, so they could only say:

"If that's the case, then your bow and crossbow will be used by us in the past few days. Who told you not to take our brothers to heart?"

"Hahaha, Huzi, you can't refuse, or we'll have to tell the head of the bodyguard that you yesterday..."

They were all laughing and wanting to play with Gu Chenghu's crossbow, when a majestic voice came:

"What are you going to tell me?"

When the bodyguards heard the sound, they saw a strong black man in his forties walking into the yard. He was muscular, tall and strong, and anyone who saw him would feel particularly oppressed.

The bodyguards greeted quickly:

"Boss! You're back from Qiuyang City!"

Gu Chenghu also hurriedly shouted:

"Dad, you're back!"

Gu Tianli saw the crossbow in Gu Chenghu's hand at a glance, and asked:

"What are you holding in your hand? Why don't you practice martial arts well?"

Before Gu Chenghu could answer, the bodyguards hurriedly said:

"Boss, you came back just in time. Huzi bought a precious weapon. This crossbow is very strange. It can make Huzi shoot arrows with perfect accuracy. We are just asking him where he bought it!"

"This bow and crossbow is very powerful. It hits the wood with three points. The point is to hit the target with every shot. Hu Zi said that it is more practical than bows and arrows. We can take it with us when we go out to shoot darts."

Gu Tianli looked at the crossbow in Gu Chenghu's hand and asked Gu Chenghu to demonstrate it to him.

Gu Chenghu hurriedly placed and shot his arrows, and almost all of them hit the bull's-eye for several consecutive arrows.

Gu Tianli couldn't help trying a few arrows by himself, and when he also hit the target, his serious face was full of surprise:

"This crossbow is really extraordinary, Cheng Hu, where did you buy it?"

Gu Chenghu told the truth about what happened yesterday, and Gu Tianli immediately made a decision:

"Five days later, go to the gate of the city to find the bow seller, and order twenty sets from him, and each of you will get a pair in the future!"

He tried this kind of crossbow a few times and knew that it was very suitable for close use. It was much better than bows and arrows. The most important thing was that it had a weird shape that many people probably didn't recognize. It was very likely to achieve a surprising effect!

……

Sun Dashi, his brother Sun Dazhu, and his nephew Sun Ziyang were on their way to Shuidong County with other caravans. Because there was no place to stay around, the twelve or three of them decided to sleep in the wild.

Sun Ziyang was sitting on the rock and fiddling with the crossbow in his hand. He liked this crossbow very much, and thought it was much more fun than bows and arrows.

However, his father, Sun Dazhu, saw this and muttered:

"Dashi, look at me and say that you spend so much money, and we have so few chances of encountering wild beasts along the way. The last time we encountered wolves, it was bad luck. We didn't go the right way. This time we didn't just It's been a smooth journey, don't waste your money in the future, it won't be easy for us to come out once."

Sun Dashi originally thought that the crossbow was miraculous, but after being talked about by his brother all the time, he couldn't help wondering if he was too impulsive. Although the crossbow was indeed a hundred shots, they didn't seem to have many chances to use it, like this Once again, if everyone walks together, those who want to rob must also weigh their own strength.

Others were also interested in this kind of crossbow before, but they only took a look at it, and they didn't care about it in their hearts, and didn't think it was very useful.

Sun Dashi thought for a while and still wanted to make the best use of everything, so he said:

"This bow and crossbow is still useful. Didn't Yangzi and I kill several hares? Yangzi and I went nearby to see if there are any hares."

Sun Ziyang nodded quickly and said:

"Yes, dad, this crossbow is really powerful, I have never used such an easy-to-use bow before!"

Sun Dazhu just felt sorry for the silver, after all, 30 taels, but it can only be used for hunting, which is too wasteful, but the matter has come to an end, nothing he can say will help, so he simply said:

"Go, go, don't go too far."

Sun Dashi and Sun Ziyang were about to nod their heads, but at this moment, there was a sudden exclamation:

"It's not good, hurry! Climb up the tree. There is a white-fronted worm, a big worm!!"

White-fronted worm? !

Hearing this, they didn't have to think about it at all, and immediately found the nearest tree and climbed up with their hands and feet. They had already formed a habit.

Roar! !

Before they could finish climbing, a tiger howled sounded, shaking the entire forest, startling countless birds.

They hurriedly climbed to the tree trunk to stabilize their figures, and when they looked down, it was a white-fronted big bug with eye-catching eyes that looked like it weighed three to four hundred catties!

What made them even more desperate was that there was more than one, and there was another one that seemed to weigh at least two to three hundred catties.

They roared at the people on the tree, and even scraped the bark with their claws, as if they wanted to climb up. Unfortunately, it was the tree where Sun Dazhu was climbing.

Big worms can climb trees. Seeing that it has climbed up on all fours, everyone gasped. It's over, it's dead! !

There is also a big worm guarding below, and they have no chance even if they want to jump down and run.

Could it be that they are all going to die here this time? !

Everyone's faces were very ugly.

Sun Ziyang's face was also pale. Seeing that the tiger was getting closer and closer to Sun Dazhu, he hurriedly said:

"Father, why are you still sitting there, climb up quickly!!"

Sun Dazhu was terrified, his hands and feet were weak now, and the big bug was right in front of him, how could he be so rational, he only wanted to climb up after being awakened, but his speed was actually not as fast as this two to three hundred catties Tigers, after all, tigers have strong paws and can climb faster than humans.

Before Sun Dazhu was afraid of taking a few steps, he felt a chill under his feet, and had the illusion that his feet would be bitten off at any moment.

This made him more nervous, his hands and feet became weak, and it was even harder to climb up.

Everyone who saw this scene knew what was waiting for Sun Dazhu, and they also knew that Sun Dazhu's fate was also their fate today.

No one thought that they would encounter two eye-catching white-fronted worms so suddenly, how unlucky they were.

Roar! !

The roar of the tiger came again, and Sun Dazhu could already feel that the tiger was about to bite him at any time. When he was desperate, he quickly looked at Sun Ziyang and said:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to hide today. I'll jump down later. When the big worm eats me, you follow your second uncle and run quickly, you know...? Dashi, you, what are you doing?!"

Did Sun Dazhu's voice make other people subconsciously look at Sun Dashi, only to see that he was pointing his crossbow in Sun Dazhu's direction.

What is Sun Dashi going to do? !

Did he think that his bow and crossbow could kill the tiger? !

Don't be kidding me! !

This is a matter of life and death! ! !

Only Sun Ziyang believed in Sun Dashi, and he looked at his second uncle expectantly.

Sun Dashi didn't say a word, he aimed the crossbow's crossbow's crosshairs and aiming points at the tiger's eyes, whether he could save his elder brother, it was up to him.

Under everyone's displeased eyes of condemnation and Sun Ziyang's expectation, Sun Dashi held his breath, and he slowly pulled the trigger.

call out!

Roar! ! !

boom! !

The tiger wailed loudly and fell from the tree with a "bang" and hit the ground. It crawled on the ground and scratched its eyes with its claws with difficulty. An arrow was sticking out of its mouth in the eyes.

Sun Dashi actually shot the tiger in the eye! !

Everyone was shocked by this scene, and they looked at Sun Dashi with astonishment on their faces.

Sun Dazhu couldn't believe it, his younger brother saved his life! !

He still used the useless bow and crossbow that he had always despised! ! !

Sun Ziyang said excitedly:

"Second uncle, you are amazing!"

Sun Dashi heaved a sigh of relief, and then he showed a smile for the rest of his life and said:

"This crossbow is powerful. Without it, how could I have shot the crossbow in the eye. Why are you still standing still, shoot the big bugs quickly and drive them away!"

Sun Dashi wasn't sure if this crossbow could kill the tiger, he just wanted to drive them away quickly.

The other tiger seemed to be startled, and went to hit the injured tiger. Sun Ziyang aimed at the uninjured tiger, and he also wanted to shoot the tiger in the eye.

Seeing this, the others didn't make a sound. After Sun Dashilu's hand just now, how could they look down on this bow and crossbow.

Seeing Sun Ziyang shooting the arrow out with a "swoosh", he quickly looked at the tiger, and then heard the sound of wailing. The two ears of the uninjured tiger were actually shot through, just right into the cochlea of ​​the tiger.

The big worm fell to the ground wailing, struggled a few times unwillingly, and then slowly stopped moving, and the blood gradually spread.

Seeing this, the injured tiger whimpered and got up and ran away.

And everyone present, looking at the dead white worm, was completely stunned.
