The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

 The morning light has not yet shone.

The cockcrow of the Yan family wakes up the whole village.

On ordinary days, the villagers could turn over and continue sleeping without blinking, but now they got up one by one, dressed, and fetched water to wash their faces.

Smoke curled up from the kitchen.

The smoke of human fireworks slowly pushes away the night, ushering in the new sun.

Villagers are accustomed to getting up early and coming to the village chief's house.

When passing by Yan's house, I couldn't help but take a look inside.

The Yan family wants to repair the big bow that was ripped off from the wall of Xizhou Zhuyuan City. Even in Yan Yu's absence, the work of restoring the crossbow bed is still going on in full swing.

Li Xuemei kept a close eye on him. If he wanted someone, she would call him. If he wanted something, she would go find it.

A mid-day working meal and additional allowance are also provided.

The news spread throughout the village.

The big guy who was valued by the waiter and called it a big killer finally made it!

I can’t keep my yard open.

Yan Yuzheng and her uncle from the Qi family planned to transport the crossbow bed to the foot of the mountain for testing.

When people outside the hospital saw him, they spontaneously came over to help him without even having to say hello.

Passed on one by one, people of all ages in the village rushed to watch the fun.

Yan Yu and uncle Qi each raised a corner.

The three adults and one child moved the heavy crossbow bed.

Place it on a thick wooden board and roll the log.

This caused a burst of exclamation from the villagers.

The envious little looks of children seem to have substance.

"It's best to be able to make a wheeled cart, harness the ox in front, and be pushed by people behind. Even if it's slower, it's better than moving like this."

Yan Yu made the request, and the adults doing the recovery work around him nodded.

"If this test firing is successful, we will seize the time to make a few more and put them in the military camp. When assembling them, let people watch and learn from them. Once they are assembled, they can practice their accuracy." Yan Yu thought of the crossbow and said: "This The Eight Ox Crossbow has a long range and strong power. The crossbow is difficult to retrieve. To be effective on the battlefield, this large bow and arrows must be prepared. "

The adults looked at each other.

They didn't dare to say anything.

Let them be restored to their original state, but I don't know how to make new ones!

The sandsmith shook his head as he listened in the crowd.

But spare him, since he came to Xiao'an Village, his blast furnace has never stopped firing.

The father and son were banging and beating every day.

Yes, his arms were already thick, but he swore that they must have become thicker now, and the clothes he could originally wear couldn't fit into them.

He looked at the Qi brothers.

There was a little more envy in his eyes.

This is really good material for making iron.

Look at that body, that strength, tsk tsk, it would be so exciting to fight with him.

His eyes dropped.

Hey!

The waiter is also good at wielding a hammer.

Occasionally, she would come over in a hurry to help pound an iron. No, the big iron arrow to be tested was made by her.

For the time being, only four have been typed out.

There really is no more.

Except for the few days of farming in spring, he made some farm tools, okay, long knives, iron rods, arrowheads, gun heads... He settled in this village and has been making weapons.

Fortunately, everyone is not picky, as long as it can be used, the work can be a little rough.

Otherwise he really wouldn't be able to do it.

Yan Yu is definitely the main force in testing the Eight Ox Crossbow.

The hinge shaft rotates to pull the rear bow, main bow and front bow.

Three bows, two forward and one reverse, can stretch the bow to its maximum limit.

"Mom, take aim."

Yan Yu couldn't let go, so the person he targeted naturally fell on Li Xuemei.

Li Xuemei is very confident.

The eyesight-improving potion made a difference in her world.

Nowadays, she is extremely proficient in longbows and iron crossbows.

She stood behind the crossbow and directed the three brothers of the Qi family to adjust.

Then he said: "That's it."

Shoot the arrow!

The crossbow flew out.

Bring out a sonorous sound.

The next moment the arrowhead had sunk into the stone.

Everyone watching was stunned. Oh my god, this, this, shot so far!

Yan Yu felt the aftershocks of the crossbow bed and carefully observed whether there was any damage everywhere.

"How about it?"

Li Xuemei also approached worriedly.

What they fear most is that the crossbow bed is old and cannot withstand the huge force released at the moment of pulling the three bows and even releasing the arrow.

"very good!"

Yan Yu's eyes were shining, and he looked at the crossbow bed as if he were looking at gold.

"The idea of ​​using iron to reinforce several key locations is correct. It increases the weight, but also reduces the possibility of the wood cracking. Even if the wood inside cracks, it can still be fired for a few more rounds."

"The current position of the bed crossbow was measured by us. It is 800 meters. Mom, can you see how deep the crossbow is sunk into the stone?" Yan Yu asked expectantly.

The advantage of her mother's improved eyesight is that she can know the approximate result without having to go close to look.

There is plenty of time for the test launch, so of course I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.

But if it were placed on the battlefield, it would be great to be able to see clearly whether the enemy was hit or not from nearly a thousand meters away!

When the time comes, shoot such an arrow at the enemies gathered together.

Ouch!

That's great!

"It's quite deep, it has to be this deep." Li Xuemei gestured on her arm.

"Mom, please watch carefully and don't let anyone move around. I'll run closer and take a look!" As soon as Yan Yu finished speaking, the person flew out like a small cannonball.

When he got closer, Yan Yu looked at it first, and then measured the length of the remaining crossbow with his hands.

Then he raised his legs, put one foot on the stone, and held the bow with his two chubby hands.

First I tried to pull it out.

With an estimate in mind, I put a little more strength into my hands.

Hey!

Come out!

The long crossbow was drawn.

Wow!

Rubble fell to the ground.

A rather deep hole was left in the stone.

Yan Yu looked closely.

I actually saw a few cracks growing around the small hole.

Oh my god!

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

No wonder people say that this three-bow crossbow bed is a great weapon for Bu Keqi.

Just like this, how thick of armor can I wear to withstand it?

Eight hundred meters, so deep, the actual range would be even further.

If this is not within range, whoever is shot will die.

If it were really productive, the Anti-King of Xizhou would have made a lot of siege equipment. With such a strong three-bow crossbow bed, if an arrow passes by, those wooden carts will not fall apart?

Yan Yu was excited.

He ran back happily holding the big iron arrow.

"Try two more arrows. Uncle Qi will help me draw the bow. This time I will take aim!"

She finished her roar.

The children, who had long been unable to restrain themselves, rushed to the front.

Jumping up and down less than a meter away from her.

I had no choice but to watch from close range, but I was afraid of affecting their leader.

One after another, they are all vying to be on top.

Zheng!

Yan Yu's first arrow shot high.

Shoot directly towards the rocky place you aimed at.

Shot in the trunk of a large tree.

Still submerged very deep.

Several boys who went to see the results came back empty-handed.

He was stunned but didn't pull out the big iron arrow.

Several boys made exaggerated gestures: "Such a thick tree trunk, it can be shot through!"

It was Qi Da who ran over and took back the crossbow.

He held on tight all the way without daring to let go.

Pointing it out to Yan Yu, the length of the shot that penetrated the tree trunk was right where he was holding it.

There were comments and exclamations all around.

There is a market and bustle in the village of Wuyang.

"This big bow and arrows are so powerful! They are even more powerful than our long bamboo crossbow!"

"It's so exciting! It's so exciting!"

"If we can do more, what are we afraid of! If the Beirong barbarians are still here, I will dress them in strings!"

"Only Xiaoer and Qi Da can use it? Can it be made smaller? Can we take care of the smaller one?" (End of Chapter)
