Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 58 The power of the compound bow, revive the white horse!

Compound Bow!
Yuan Tan's eyes lit up immediately!
Although the Qingqi under his command is supported by the Zhuge Liannu, the bow he uses is just an ordinary hard bow.

All relying on the blessing of the formation formed by the Qingqi under his command, he was able to exert his combat power to break through the Huns' royal court.

But with a compound bow, everything will be different!
It is different from the hard bows commonly used by princes during the Three Kingdoms period.

The power of the compound bow from modern times surpasses that of today's hard bows!

Quickly unfolding the drawing in his hand, Yuan Tan glanced at it for a while, and immediately saw it clearly.

This compound bow drawing, as he guessed before, is a modern compound bow drawing.

Not only the method of making the bow body, but also the most important thing, the accessories of the compound bow, which are also marked on it, which is extremely detailed!

This was exactly what Yuan Tan was thinking.

There is no other reason. The accessories and materials used in modern compound bows are simply not what he can get together now.

But with the blueprint of the casting of this part, he can choose a few key parts to make according to the above guidelines.

For example, pulleys!

If you want to say where the biggest difference between the modern compound bow and the ancient single bow is, it must be the pulley!
"Come on, I'm going to the Craftsman Camp!"

Yuan Tan left the mansion in a hurry and went directly to the camp outside the city.

After returning to Yecheng, in order to reward him for his great achievements in defeating the Xiongnu, Yuan Shao deliberately assigned the troops he had brought out to Yuan Tan headquarters.

Ten thousand iron cavalry, ten thousand light cavalry.

Moreover, they are all one person and two horses!
Such a luxurious configuration naturally attracted the envy of the generals of the Yuan family.

However, Yuan Tan had made great achievements in defeating the Xiongnu. Generals like Jiang Yiqu and others who had grievances against Yuan Tan were not mentioned. Even Zhang He could only nod.

After all, there are many generals who can lead cavalry.

But like Yuan Tan, he was the only one who forcibly used [-] cavalry to penetrate the court of the Huns.

The staff of the headquarters was expanded again, and Yuan Tan did not delay.

He didn't have enough resources in his hands before, and many things could only be done by lottery.

Now that Yuan Shao had generously decentralized power, he immediately set about establishing a craftsmanship camp in the army.

As soon as he arrived at the barracks, he saw Jiang Qi, who was in charge of the craftsman camp, with a bitter and depressed look on his face.

Seeing Yuan Tan coming in, Jiang Qi immediately went up to meet him, and said with a flattering smile,

"My lord, you still don't want me to stay in the craftsman's camp. I'm still a military commander. What's the point of always doing handicrafts in the craftsman's camp?"

Yuan Tan looked at Jiang Qi's wry smile, and rubbed his face helplessly.

Now he still has too few people under his command. Although Daddy Cheap has a lot of advisors, half of them don't like him.

Yuan Tan himself didn't like the remaining half.

Jiang Qi can only lead the craftsman battalion first. Of course, this craftsman camp is actually a general term. In fact, Jiang Qi is equivalent to the logistics chief of his Yuan Tan headquarters.

After all, compared to Gao Lan and Zhao Yun, Jiang Qi's force value is really low, he can only be regarded as second-rate, and it is the kind at the end of second-rate.

Patting Jiang Qi on the shoulder, Yuan Tan could only give Jiang Qi an encouraging look.

"General Jiang Qi is temporarily working as an errand for the craftsman camp. By the way, here is a blueprint. I also ask General Jiang Qi to let the craftsmen of the craftsman camp build it as soon as possible."

Jiang Qi took the blueprint with a bitter face and sent it to the craftsman camp.

In his opinion, Mr. Yuan Tan is good at everything, but he just values ​​those craftsmen too much.

Although the Han Dynasty did not discriminate against craftsmen as much as later generations, their status was not so high.

In Jiang Qi's view, instead of delving into these, it is better to work harder on training soldiers.

However, one month later, the batch of newly made compound bows sent out from the craftsman camp completely overturned his cognition.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Not only Jiang Qi, but also Zhao Yun and Gao Lan, who have been in charge of training the Qing cavalry under Yuan Tan's orders.

When I saw the range of the bow and arrow, I was shocked!

"Benchmark! Three hundred steps!"

The soldier standing next to the archery target looked at the row of archery targets beside him, his mouth opened and he couldn't close it at all!
"Is this really a bow? Isn't it a crossbow?"

Gao Lan looked at the compound bow in his hand in shock, looking over and over again.

It's not that Gao Lan has little knowledge, it's because the shape of this compound bow is too unique.

The bow grip made of fine iron is supplemented by a simple sight, although there is no glass aid.

But there is a certain ruler engraved on it, which is convenient for archers to aim.

In addition, what is more eye-catching is the upper and lower pair of eccentric wheels.

The bowstring is wound on two eccentric wheels, like the wheels of two carriages.

"The power of this bow is far beyond ordinary strong bows!"

Jiang Qi said from the side.

As the leader of the craftsman battalion, he personally supervised the making of the compound bow. He may be the person who knows the power of the compound bow best besides Yuan Tan!
There is no other reason.

When Jiang Qi initially supervised the construction of the compound bow, he didn't care much about the two eccentric wheels.

After building a compound bow without an eccentric wheel, he tried to shoot the bow again.

In the end, it took all the strength of breastfeeding to forcefully draw the longbow.

But his strength was limited, and he couldn't shoot an arrow at all.

It wasn't until he built a complete compound bow and added an eccentric wheel that Jiang Qi finally understood.

How many mysteries are there in these two seemingly inconspicuous wheels!
"At least five stones or more!"

Seeing that Gao Lan didn't believe it, Jiang Qi deliberately threw his embarrassing "wheelless compound bow" to him.

Gao Lan tried it, and his expression changed immediately.

Zhao Yun was not much better than him. He threw down the hard bow in his hand and took his compound bow from a soldier.

The ape arm was stretched, the entire bow was pulled to a limit, the bowstring was tense, and then the index finger was suddenly released!

Boom!
A black arrow shot out in an instant, and the strength contained in it was so great that it directly penetrated the target, and the stamina was still unabated, and it fell directly three hundred steps away!
Without stopping, Zhao Yun opened his bow again, this time, it was a projectile!
Whoosh!
The shadow of the arrow soared into the sky, and it didn't land until it was five hundred steps away!

"My lord, may I ask what is the name of this bow and what is the cost?"

As expected of a famous general who is used to fighting, Gao Lan quickly grasped the advantage of the bow in his hand.

Such a powerful new bow, if the cost is not high, can equip a group of light cavalry in a short period of time.

Originally on the battlefield, the light cavalry army could only play the role of wandering around and harassing, and its status will definitely skyrocket!

Although Gao Lan was the commander of the heavy cavalry, most of the heavy cavalry was led by Yuan Tan.

He was only responsible for maintaining the stability of the heavy cavalry lineup when Yuan Tan rushed into the enemy's formation and started killing.

Such tasks cannot be said to be unimportant, but Gao Lan still hopes to play a greater role in the battle.

During this period of time, he and Zhao Yun took a class together to train the Qingqi Department, and he had more affection for Qingqi.

Yuan Tan wanted Zhao Yun to use the method Gongsun Zan trained Baima Yicong to take his Qingqi Division to another level.

In this regard, although Zhao Yun expressed that it was unrealistic, after all, it took Gongsun Zan more than a few years to train Baima Yicong.

In the past, Gongsun Zan ran the land of Youyan and used the entire Youyan to raise an army, so he raised such a famous army as Baima Yicong.

Although Yuan Tan is brave and invincible now, the training of soldiers cannot be accomplished overnight.

But now, with the compound bow, as long as it can be applied to the Qingqi Department on a large scale, Zhao Yun is confident that Baima Yicong will reappear under Yuan Tan's tent!

Yuan Tan smiled slightly.

When he took out the composite bow casting drawings, he already had a rough estimate in his mind.

The materials of compound bows are mainly those accessories and the bow grip made of refined iron.

But many accessories of modern compound bows are convenient for modern people to use, for safety reasons and so on.

Either because of technical limitations or because of flashiness, they were all abandoned by Yuan Tan.

So the price isn't really that much higher.

As for this point, Jiang Qi, who personally supervised the manufacture of compound bows, is the clearest.

Immediately, he said with a smile,

"The price of this bow is not high, it is only about [-]% higher than ordinary hard bows."

After hearing this, both Gao Lan and Zhao Yun were shocked!
The two looked at each other, and they both clasped their fists to congratulate Yuan Tan, "Congratulations, Eldest Prince (General), for getting this artifact!"
