Datang romantic little landlord

"Hey, Brother Chu Mo, this suggestion is very good! Ziyou, don't say that brothers bully you, you said it yourself, do you dare to take a bet?"

When Li Wangyou heard this, his face immediately turned dark.

Nima, don't these wicked bastards know how to beat people without slapping them in the face, or swearing at them without revealing their faults?I'm just bragging, are you so serious?

But Li Wangyou didn't intend to admit defeat, so he asked after thinking, "Just shoot the prey with an arrow? Then can I use a crossbow?"

In Li Wangyou's view, aiming with a crossbow is much easier.

After all, the string of the crossbow no longer needs to be exerted after stretching the string, so he can concentrate on aiming calmly.No matter how powerful the crossbow is, as long as the crossbow is pulled, it will be fired immediately, which is similar to the shooting method of firearms.

Li Wangyou is still a little confident about this. After all, although he has never touched a real gun a few times in later generations, at least he has used an air gun to shoot balloons in the park, and the accuracy is still acceptable.

After trying several times with the crossbow, Li Wangyou couldn't believe that he couldn't hit the prey.

What he said made the dandies hesitate a bit, everyone knew that crossbows were easier to aim than bows and arrows.If you use a crossbow, maybe this kid can really hit the prey.

Cheng Chumo was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should agree or not.

But Fang Yiai immediately replied: "Of course you can use the crossbow, but there is a condition that you have to string it yourself. If Niu Wu helps you string it, then it doesn't matter."

Chai Lingwu gave Fang Yi'ai a thumbs up: "My brother Yi'ai, tall, really tall! Haha, don't you want to be so angry that you say that? He can't even draw a half-stone bow, so how can he have the strength? String the crossbow?"

"Hey, that's right, Ziyou, if you can string the crossbow by yourself without the help of others, and shoot the prey with the crossbow, then naturally it's fine." Cheng Chumo said with a smirk.

The dandies were laughing and laughing again, and the laughter was naturally due to Li Wangyou's pitiful strength.

In the army of the Tang Dynasty, there were seven kinds of military crossbows in total, namely, breaking Zhang crossbow, horn bow crossbow, wooden single crossbow, large wooden single crossbow, bamboo pole crossbow, large bamboo pole crossbow and Fuyuan crossbow.

Of the seven types of bows and crossbows, only the first two, the broken crossbow and the horned crossbow, are individual crossbows. Among them, the broken crossbow is used by infantry, and the horned crossbow is equipped with cavalry.

In the era of cold weapons, Datang may be the dynasty that paid the least attention to crossbows.

The proportion of crossbowmen among all soldiers is the lowest, less than ten percent.Moreover, these crossbowmen have to work part-time in melee combat.For example, Mo Dao Shou, who is invincible in all battles, also works as a crossbowman. When facing the enemy, after two rounds of crossbow arrows, he must abandon the crossbow and change his sword to approach the enemy in close combat.

The main reason is that the crossbow has a low rate of fire and high cost.

Although the training of crossbowmen is simple and their accuracy is higher than that of bows and arrows, the pulling force requirement is relatively large when pulling the crossbow, which takes a long time and the rate of fire is naturally low.

Moreover, the structure of the crossbow is complicated, and the technical content and manufacturing cost are relatively high. Compared with the bow and arrow, the advantage is naturally not great.There is no shortage of war horses in the Tang Dynasty. When a large number of cavalry are equipped, bows are naturally better than crossbows.

But the power of crossbows is also great. Even in the Tang Dynasty, which paid the least attention to crossbows, famous Huainan crossbowmen, Jianghuai crossbowmen, and Zhejiang west crossbowmen appeared in history.

Among them, the Jianghuai crossbowmen are the most famous. In the history of the Tang Dynasty, there were [-] Jianghuai crossbowmen who guarded the city without fear in the face of [-] enemy troops.

According to historical records, "Jidan rebels drove brave soldiers to the city, and all the ambushed crossbows in the city were fired, and all of them were shot at the rear", and finally forced the enemy's tens of thousands of troops to retreat despite difficulties, and was regarded as the best soldier in the world by the Tang Dynasty.

Although this crossbow is good, the pulling force required to draw the string is higher than that of a bow and arrow.For example, the crossbow used by infantry in the Tang army could not be pulled apart without the strength of two stones.

Although the crossbow is stringed, you can use your feet to hold the crossbow body and pull the string with the strength of your whole body.But the dandies can be sure that even if Li Wangyou puts all his strength into use, he won't be able to string the crossbow with his small body.

When Li Wangyou heard this, he also felt a little embarrassed.

What he originally thought was to ask Niu Wu or Fuzhong Buqu to help him string the crossbow. He just aimed and shot, but he didn't expect that this loophole would be blocked by Fang Yiai.

"Ziyou, brothers are righteous enough, right? Even the crossbow is agreed to for you to use, even if Ziyou shoots a rabbit at that time, you will be considered as a winner, how about it?" Cheng Chumo continued laughing.

He said this deliberately because he was determined that Li Wangyou would not dare to make this bet with them.

The dudes all know that Li Wangyou is good at everything, but his body is too weak.It's a rare opportunity to taunt this kid, how could he not seize the opportunity.

Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai and the others laughed at Li Wangyou at the same time as you said, but made Li Wangyou very depressed.

Just when he didn't know how to answer, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and a little nurse came in with a basin of clear water.

"My lord, Mr. Baozang ordered his servants to come and clean your wound."

Cheng Chumo didn't care about continuing to taunt Li Wangyou, so he ran forward with a playful smile, and when he had the opportunity to help the little nurse with a water basin, he deliberately ate the little nurse's tofu: "Oh, how can such a weak little nurse like you be able to do this kind of hard work?" Maid to do it? Leave it alone, I will do it myself. Next time you go to the well to draw water, remember to call me, the well wheel is heavy, don’t tire you little ladies.”

Cheng Chumo's words made Li Wangyou stare involuntarily, and slapped his thigh with his hand: "Wow ha ha ha, I bet with you!"

751 Pulley block and lever principle

Li Wangyou's sudden words made all the dudes stunned.

Cheng Chumo turned his head blankly and asked, "Ziyou, what did you say?"

Li Wangyou had a mysterious smile on his face: "Hey, I said I'm betting on it. Give me ten days, and then we will go hunting in the mountains. I will use a crossbow without the help of others, and I will draw the bow by myself. If I can If you shoot the prey, you have to obey my orders and do one thing, how about it? To bet or not to bet?"

His firm words made Cheng Chumo and Fang Yiai hesitate, they couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Li Wangyou was selling in his gourd.

Datang's military crossbow, they can be sure that Li Wangyou can't stretch the string with his own strength.If the tension of the crossbow is reduced, the arrow feathers will be light and weak when shot out. If you want to hit the prey, it is simply a fantasy.

Could it be that Li Wangyou has some tricks to pull off?

The dudes bet with Li Wangyou, but they never won.It's inevitable that the dandies became suspicious, suspecting that Li Wangyou suddenly agreed to the bet, and there was some kind of conspiracy in it.

Originally, the dandy felt that Li Wangyou didn't dare to accept the bet, so he made a joke of him.But when Li Wangyou really nodded in agreement, they inevitably hesitated again.

All the dandies simply put their heads together and started discussing in a low voice.

"Ziyou isn't just bluffing, is he? Deliberately scaring us?"

"I think it's possible. The crossbow needs to be stretched, and its strength is much greater than that of a bow. Even if you can use your feet to kick it, no matter what, this kid can't have the strength of two stones."

"This kid must be bluffing, using Zhuge Kongming's empty city plan!"

"That's right, it must be that empty city plan, just to scare us, and bet with him! I don't believe that Ziyou can use his own strength with such a small body."

After discussing with the dudes, they all felt that Li Wangyou was just bluffing to scare them.

Cheng Chumo said: "It's a gamble, Ziyou, if after ten days, we go hunting and you can't catch the prey, these little nurses, hehe, brothers will not be polite."

Li Wangyou nodded straightforwardly: "Okay, let's do it this way. A gentleman's words are hard to follow. Hehe, if you lose, you brothers, you have to obey my orders and do something. Then you can't break your promise and get fat."

Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, Chai Lingwu and the others looked at each other, nodded vigorously, and everyone clapped their hands again, making a bet.

Li Wangyou smiled sinisterly, rubbed his chin, and began to think about how to play tricks on these dudes when he won.

Naturally, he didn't have anything for the dudes to do, making this bet was just a matter of idleness, and he was going to make fun of the dudes.At that time, Li Wangyou has not yet decided whether to let this group of dudes dance striptease on Zhuque Street, or to run around naked outside the imperial city.

As for the bet, Li Wangyou is naturally sure of winning.

He really didn't have the strength to pull the strings, but the conversation between Cheng Chumo and the little nurse just now reminded him.

The wheel used to draw water from the well is a kind of winch pulley, and the easiest way to save effort is naturally the principle of the pulley block learned in junior high school physics.

As long as the crossbow string is wound on the crossbow arm through two pulley blocks, it can be guaranteed that the bow string can be quickly pulled apart with only one-eighth of the original force.
