Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 599

The structure of this bed crossbow is more precise and complicated than the current Zhao country's bed crossbow.

There are two left and right hinged shafts in the front, and there is a traction rope made of beef tendon between the hinged shaft and the crossbow, and then there are Wangshan and hanging knife, and then a traction hook is fixed in the middle of the crossbow. , and behind it are three four-stone strong bows united together.

A master craftsman of the state of Zhao couldn't help but open his mouth and said to Gongshu Fuzhen: "Master Gongshu, I don't know how to use this thing?"

Gongshu Fuzhen raised his head, and the corners of his eyes that were still filled with tears just now were already in high spirits. He stroked the bed crossbow in front of him as gently as if he was stroking his lover in the previous life, and smiled at the few Zhao Guo masters in front of him: "Everyone, how about going to the proving ground to try this crossbow?"

A moment later, the proving ground.

Gongshu Fuzhen stood in front of this bed crossbow, patted the bed crossbow very proudly and said: "This crossbow is a secret technique passed down by my Gongshu family in ancient times. There are three crossbows with a total of twelve stones, and the range can reach up to 1000 or [-] steps. "

"Two hundred steps in 1000?" The eyes of several Zhao Guo masters present were about to protrude.

In this era, the most outstanding crossbow is undoubtedly from South Korea.

The peerless crossbows produced in South Korea, such as Xizi, Shaofu, Shili, and Julai, all have well-known names, and it is said that they can shoot six hundred paces away.

Inferred from this, the maximum range of the South Korean crossbow should be around [-] to [-] steps.

This is already the strongest crossbow in China today, and now Gongshu Fuzhen actually said that his crossbow can shoot 1000 or [-] steps?

Hey, this range is directly doubled, and it doesn't have much effect on the battlefield.

Among other things, the two armies are facing each other, and the hand is long and the opponent is short. It will definitely make the enemy lose his temper at all.

Gongshu Fuzhen looked at the stunned Zhao Guo masters in front of him, and felt a little proud.

This Ba Niu crossbow is actually not the stunt of some public loser, after all, the belly is not really a public loser.

This kind of crossbow is actually recorded in the Mohist scriptures written by Mo Zhai, the founder of the Mohist school. This Mohist scripture is different from the Mozi book that can be passed on to the public. Preserved by Mohist giants.

Fuzhen's father is a contemporary giant, and Fuzhen is regarded as his successor and the chief master of the Mohist school. It is not surprising that he has read the Mohism.

It's a pity that my father said that this thing is an ominous thing, and it must not be made to harm the world. As a result, although the Mo family has the manufacturing technology in hand, they have never made this eight-ox crossbow.

As a member of the younger generation, Fuzhen naturally disapproved of what Old Antique's father said.He had already decided to dedicate the eight-ox crossbow to King Qin when he took over as Juzi.

As for the eight-ox crossbow in front of you, it’s actually just a test of your hand. Fu Zhen has already reserved his backhand. This eight-ox crossbow will completely fall apart after three or four shots at most. By then, no one will be able to Bring it back without a craft map.

For the current Fuzhen, this eight-ox crossbow actually only needs to be shot twice.

Fuzhen picked up an arrow as thick as an arm, and smiled at several master craftsmen of the Zhao Kingdom in front of him: "This arrow uses iron feathers as the arrow, and it is extremely penetrating. If it is within [-] steps If it is hit, I am afraid that even armored cavalry will not be spared."

"What?" Zhao Guoda's craftsmen were shocked.

You must know that the heavy armor of an armored cavalry is the most powerful protective weapon in Zhao Guo and even the entire Chinese world. How can this eight-ox crossbow threaten the life of an armored cavalry?

"Come on, bring a suit of armor for cavalry!"

After a while, under the chorus of several warriors, the reel began to rotate creakingly, the three bowstrings were slowly pulled full, and the thick arrow aimed at a cross wooden frame five hundred steps away. , covered with a pair of cavalry armor.

In the sound of clicking, all the bowstrings were fully drawn.

Fuzhen smiled triumphantly, squatted down, raised the hammer in his hand, and lightly aimed at the hanging knife and smashed it.

"Buzz!"

The huge arrow flew out in an instant, piercing the air with an extremely sharp sound, and hit the armor of the armored cavalry with incomparable accuracy.

There was a loud bang, and the wooden stake was knocked down by the huge impact, and sawdust flew across.

After a while, several Zhao Guo masters looked at the armored cavalry armor with a big hole in the chest in front of them, and couldn't help but look at each other.

A moment later, several master craftsmen bowed their hands to Gongshu Fuzhen at the same time and saluted in extremely respectful tones.

"Master Gongshu can make such a magical weapon, he should be the chief general!"

Gongshu Fuzhen looked at these master craftsmen of Zhao Guo who were sincerely convinced in front of him, and his heart was full of pride.

After getting along day and night in the past few months, he certainly knew that these master craftsmen were all the top craftsmen in the world. It was precisely because of this that gaining their admiration made Gong Shufu really feel more fulfilled.

With such a sense of accomplishment, Gongshufu picked up another long, slender crossbow like a javelin with great joy, and said with a smile to the few Zhao Guo masters in front of him:

"I'd like to teach you that there is actually another way to use this eight-ox crossbow. This arrow is called a stepping arrow. If it is fired within two hundred steps, it can be directly nailed into the city wall. It only takes eight more The oxen and crossbows are fired at the same time, so the soldiers can step on the prongs and arrows to climb the city wall without the help of ladders!"

After pretending happily for a while with several Zhao Guo masters whose eyes were almost glowing green, Gong Shufu returned to his small yard in the workshop very happily.

Of course, there is a reason for taking out the eight-ox crossbow.

Although Fuzhen was sure to kill Zhao Dan face-to-face when he met Zhao Dan last time, but Fuzhen himself would definitely be killed on the spot. Fuzhen never regarded himself as a dead man.

So Fu really needs a chance, a chance to approach Zhao Dan openly.

According to the order issued by Zhao Dan, if a craftsman can contribute a major invention, then Zhao Dan will personally confer the title and crown the meritorious official.

Fu Zhen has already inquired clearly, and among the few master craftsmen of the Zhao Kingdom that he talked to just now, two of them have enjoyed such treatment.

As long as at that time, Fu Zhen hides some small organs in his hair, let the poison in the organs enter Zhao Dan's body without anyone noticing, and then wait for an hour or two before the attack, everything will be fine. It's all flawless.

When Zhao Dan's body was cold, Fu Zhen had already escaped from Handan City with the help of Qin Guoying.

Thinking about it, Fuzhen couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Once the great achievement of assassinating King Zhao is achieved, not to mention the position of the Mohist giant, even the Mohist family of Qin State, which has been overwhelmed by the Legalists, should have a chance to stand up, right?

Fuzhen walked into his house with a smile, and suddenly he was startled and stopped.

In Fuzhen's room, a middle-aged man sat there with a half-smile, looking at Fuzhen with strange eyes.

"The master craftsman has been late to return, but I, Mao Sui, have to wait a long time."

PS: This eight-ox crossbow is a simple version, which is how it is set.

Chapter 592 Attempted Assassination

When Fuzhen saw Mao Sui, he was shocked.

As the spirit child of the Mohist family, Fu Zhen was originally extremely intelligent and had the ability to remember with a photograph, so he naturally recognized Mao Sui, the person who followed Zhao Wang closely when Zhao Wang inspected that day.

What's more, the fact that Mao Sui went to the temple with a sword to persuade the king of Chu has long been a good story in the streets and alleys of Handan City, and even novelists have begun to create novels based on these, so Mao Sui's name is very important to him. Belly is no stranger to the truth.

The moment Mao Sui finished speaking, Fu Zhen knew he was in serious trouble.

He subconsciously touched his waist, where there was a very secret mechanism, as long as he pressed lightly, a pack of fine poisonous needles would be shot out from Fuzhen's chest in an instant.

Fuzhen didn't expect this poisonous needle to kill Mao Sui, but as long as Mao Sui could be delayed for a few breaths, Fuzhen could use more methods calmly.

However, before Fuzhen's hand had time to touch the mechanism, an extremely powerful big hand suddenly came from the side and hit Fuzhen's waist and ribs heavily.
