Global Hearing: I Become Qin Shi Huang's Defender

Just when these Western historians believed that the rhubarb crossbow of the Han Dynasty was the crossbow of the late Middle Ages in the West.

Lin Feng's voice came again.

"Please don't get confused and don't be misled by the translation."

"Although crossbows and crossbows are called 'Crossbow' in the West."

"But the structures of the two are completely different."

Lin Feng's voice was calm.

As a historian of the Dragon Kingdom, Lin Feng maintained a rigorous approach to history.

Although, this explanation is dispensable.

but.

Crossbow culture, after all, first originated in the East, Lin Feng felt that it was necessary to explain the difference between crossbow and crossbow.

really,

As soon as Lin Feng said this.

Many defenders from western countries, even the defenders from continental United States, all looked at Lin Feng in unison.

after all.

Although they are on two different continents, their voices are basically common, and they all communicate in Ying language.

However, the accent is slightly different.

Seeing that Lin Feng actually wanted to split a word into two meanings.

These defenders whose first language is Yingyu couldn't sit still, and all showed curiosity.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Lin Feng coughed lightly and explained.

"The structures of the two are completely different, but they can be regarded as convergent evolution."

"Crossbow, discovery and Dragon Kingdom, as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, there are historical sources."

"Then, it spread to Central Asia, and in the Middle Ages, the method of making crossbows was passed to the West."

"But even so."

"At that time, although the West had finished crossbows from Chrysostom in Central Asia, they still couldn't understand the triggering device of the crossbow."

"Oriental crossbow, the aiming mechanism is called 'Wangshan', the scale for correcting Wangshan is called 'tooth', and the trigger trigger is called 'hanging knife', these parts are assembled into the One piece, after it was introduced to the West, the West at that time still did not understand the structure of the hanging knife."

"Strictly speaking, the firing structure of the crossbow is about 80.00% similar to the triggering device of the flintlock."

"The West in the Middle Ages couldn't figure out such a complicated thing, so they simplified the firing device of the crossbow. They just used a wooden stick to hold the trigger. When it needs to be fired, hold the wooden stick and the trigger can be released to fire."

"The triggers and grips of the two are very different."

"Because of this, the crossbow is a variant of the traditional bow compared to the crossbow."

"Strictly speaking, the crossbow is not as powerful as the yellow shoulder crossbow, but it is also greater than the traditional bow and arrow."

"And there is another disadvantage of the crossbow, that is, the trigger is too long, parallel to the grip, and it is easy to misfire."

"However, this crossbow also has an advantage."

"Because the activation device of the crossbow is relatively simple, it is better than the crossbow in terms of logistics and maintenance."

"It is also because maintenance is relatively difficult, so although Dongfang has crossbows, it has not eliminated bows and arrows, and uses both."

Lin Feng briefly talked about the differences between Eastern crossbows and Western crossbows, their pros and cons.

Those Western defenders, after hearing Lin Feng say that the crossbow is not as powerful as the crossbow, inevitably felt a little dissatisfied.

To know.

The crossbow in Europe at that time was a nightmare for knights!

This kind of big killer, which was once banned at that time, is not as good as the yellow shoulder crossbow more than 1000 years ago?

These Western defenders are still somewhat unconvinced.

but,

They also knew that what Lin Feng said was very likely to be true.

After all, when Lin Feng talked about the difference between crossbows and crossbows, he didn't take sides.

Instead, he explained all the advantages and disadvantages of crossbows and crossbows.

He even admitted frankly that crossbows are not as convenient as crossbows in terms of maintenance and repair.

If Lin Feng was exaggerating the value of the crossbow, why should he say these things.

Therefore.

Although these Western defenders feel a little uncomfortable, they really can't find a reason to refute.

at this time.

Hans, the defender of Hans Kingdom who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Lin Feng.

"Mr. Lin Feng, in ancient times, was the yellow-shouldered crossbow the most lethal weapon in the Dragon Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng glanced at Hans.

In the second hearing, Lin Feng had contact with Hans. Although the two were rivals, Hans did not show any hostility.

Now in the third hearing, the defenders of Ou Dalu basically ridiculed Lin Feng.

Only Hans, the attitude is not bad.

I saw Hans asking a question.

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "Of course."

When Hans heard this, he became even more curious.

At the same time, the defenders of other countries also showed curiosity in their eyes.

After seeing the battle between the Han Dynasty and Rome, they were already shocked by the power of the Yellow Shoulder Crossbow.

Unexpectedly.

In the ancient Dragon Kingdom, was there a weapon more terrifying than the Yellow Shoulder Crossbow?

"Mr. Lin Feng, what other weapon is more powerful than the Yellow Shoulder Crossbow?"

Hans asked quickly.

however,

Facing Hans' inquiry, Lin Feng did not answer directly.

"I'll tell you when I have a chance later."

Lin Feng smiled ambiguously.

Hans: "..."

He naturally knew the reason for Lin Feng's betrayal.

In the Western Middle Ages and even the Renaissance, there were many outstanding conquerors.

It is very likely that in a future hearing, there will be a situation similar to today's Roman Empire vs. Han Dynasty.

The reason why Lin Feng didn't answer is obviously to plan for the future battle situation, to avoid the ancient times of the Dragon Kingdom, and to leak some very terrifying weapons in advance, so that other countries can be prepared.

Thinking of this,

Hans knew that he couldn't ask any more questions.

"Thank you for your answer, Mr. Lin Feng."

"It is undeniable that the Dragon Kingdom was really powerful in ancient times."

Hans bowed to Lin Feng politely, without further words.

At this time,

The faces of Francis and those European defenders became more and more ugly.

Even though Francis, and those European defenders, are confident in how Rome is doing.

but,

the reality is cruel.

And what is more cruel than reality is war!

Looking at those Roman soldiers who were still high-spirited just now, they have completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Let alone Francis and other defenders.

Even those people can see that this battle, the Roman Legion, has already lost.

Facing the 5 Han army, the Roman army dispatched [-].

Participating in the first battle was the Roman First Legion, more than 1 people.

however,

Huben, Shesheng, and Huqi, the total number of cavalry in the three teams is only about 2000.

Just 2000 people.

Just a regular infantry regiment in Rome, the fighting heart collapsed, and they wanted to die!

Among them, many problems can be explained.

Even if they are confident in their hearts.

but,

When the reality is in front of my eyes, the confidence in my heart has long since disappeared!

After all, the weapons of the Han army are really advanced!

Not to mention melee weapons.

The yellow shoulder crossbow alone is 1000 years ahead of the western crossbow!

Not to mention being 1000 years ahead, even the power is far better than the crossbow.

Take on the Roman soldiers with this big killer.

To some extent.

This is even equivalent to a collision between a hot weapon and a cold weapon!

The result, of course, is obvious.

The large Roman shield cannot defend against the terrifying crossbow arrows of the rhubarb crossbow.

Not to mention the chain mail worn by the soldiers.

in all armor.

Chain mail is the worst defense.

Of course, what is mentioned here is only the defense against piercing attacks.

The entire chain mail is made of leather, and small iron rings are sewn on the outside of the leather. The small iron rings are connected in series, which is the chain mail.

This kind of chain mail can effectively defend against hacking attacks.

Because when the weapon chops on the chain mail, the area of ​​force is large, and countless iron rings can release the force together.

but,

In the face of a piercing attack that pierces the surface, or a blunt weapon such as a meteor hammer or a mace, the effect of the chain mail will be greatly reduced.

The crossbow arrows not only directly blasted the Roman shield, but also shot into the body of the Roman soldier wearing mail armor in front.

There is no way to fight this battle!

Not just the defenders of continental Europe headed by Francis.

Even the defenders of other countries believe that Rome is very likely to lose the war this time!

Except for the defenders of Continental Europe.
