Wow~
"Angel, such a big bow?"
Song Xuan walked in the tribe holding a huge bow, directly attracting everyone's attention.
"Shi Yu, Shi Meng, come here and give it a try!"
The two of them had already come together. When they heard Song Xuan's words, they directly took the bow.
"Angel, how can you ejaculate when you are so big..."
Shi Meng tried to draw the bow as he spoke, but even he could only draw one-third of the way and could no longer draw it.
"Um?"
In addition to the fact that the bow arm has not been polished and is relatively thick, it is also due to the overall length. When pulled to this point, it is almost close to the normal position.
"Yu! Try it!"
Shi Yu was very curious when he saw that Shi Meng couldn't pull away, but after trying it, the result was not much better than Shi Meng's.
"Angel, who is going to use this bow?"
In this way, the leader with the best bow and the strongest strength in the tribe couldn't pull it. Not only the two of them, but also the people around them were confused. If they couldn't pull it, they couldn't use it.
This bow looks big and quite lethal, but it's useless if you can't use it.
Song Xuan pointed to the children around him slightly mysteriously and said:
"They can be used!"
Everyone around him, even Shipi who was being pointed at, was confused. How could he possibly use the bow that even the leader couldn't pull? Even now, he is still the small bow that Shiban got for him, which is better than an adult's. The bow used must be smaller.
"Angel, this?"
Now that everyone is confused, Song Xuan doesn't want to show off, and now is not the time to show off.
He said to Shi Ban who was outside the crowd:
"Ban, bring it in!"
"Get out of the way, get out of the way~"
As the crowd dispersed, Shi Ban and Gong Yi came over carrying a wooden platform.
After being lifted in front of Song Xuan, Song Xuan directly put the bow up. Only then did everyone realize that the wood on the wooden platform happened to sandwich the middle of the bow arms.
Song Xuan picked up something with a hook on one end and a rope on the other, and said to the two of them:
"Come on, pull together!"
The strength of the three of them is not small, and it is naturally very easy to draw such a bow together.
(⊙o⊙)!
Suddenly everyone suddenly realized that this was how the bow was used.
However, although the bow can be made, everyone still doesn't know what the range is. Song Xuan was also very curious and said to everyone.
"Let's go out and try!"
There definitely isn't such a big space in the tribe, and the place where bows and arrows are usually practiced is only about forty meters long. For this big bow, if it can be used normally, it will definitely be more than enough.
The most open and safe place in the tribe is the rice field across the river. It just so happens that haystacks can be used as targets. Compared with the targets used for training, haystacks are obviously much easier to use. It's perfect for a first experiment.
The most important thing is that Shi Ban has only made one arrow that matches it so far. He doesn't know what length of arrow is more suitable. It is only calculated based on ordinary bows, and there is no suitable arrow in the tribe. Of materials, this arrow was urgently processed.
Ordinary feathers are completely mismatched when placed on the nock, but the feathers collected are usually used for normal arrows. They are not used if they are too big or too small, and no one will bring them back. They will be thrown away anyway. It fell off, and if you mix it up, you will have to fight a bear from Shiban.
These few are slightly larger, and Shi Ban obtained them from the feather crowns of two wizards under the banner of Song Xuan. Big feathers are not difficult to find, but there are not many big and beautiful ones. The two wizards There is no big requirement for the size. The main thing is that they look good. The ones above are also picked up specially by everyone.
But even so, it doesn't quite match up with the big arrow.
Ordinary arrows are thinner than the little finger, but now this one is almost as thick as a thumb. Although the length of the bow itself has only increased by one-third, the arrow has grown by more than half.
Shi Yu was still the most professional in archery. Song Xuan directly asked him to control the direction of the arrow. The bow and arrow were about sixty meters away from the haystack. This was already the limit that existing bows and arrows could reach, and it was also the best in the tribe. Those few bows can maintain a certain lethality at this distance, but at most they can only be used to shoot small animals such as rabbits and pheasants, and basically they can only rely on luck, even for Shi Yu.
It's not interesting if it's too close. The distance that other weapons can't reach is where this bow should play its role.
"One or two, pull!"
This special wooden stick is only half a meter long, but it is tied with a rope at the back. The front section is naturally used to control the direction, but in order to better exert force, it is obviously more appropriate to use a rope.
The height of the wooden platform is almost right under the ribs, which is a better place to exert force.
Although the front end is a hook, it is separated in the middle, and the arrow can be placed in the middle gap.
"Angel, let go!"
Although the three of them tried their best to reach an agreement, there seemed to be no such tacit understanding. Although the arrow was shot, it was not released at the same time.
When Shi Yu let go, Shi Meng was still holding him back. As a result, the arrow only flew twenty or thirty meters before falling down.
Song Xuan also scratched his head in embarrassment. He originally had high hopes for this big bow, but it seemed that it was not easy to use.
But Shi Yu on the side thought for a while and said:
"Angel, why don't you let me try!"
"?!"
Song Xuan was confused for a moment after hearing Shi Yu's words, so he understood the next thing. He picked up the rope and tied it to his hand, pulled it back hard, and then he could not open the bow with both hands. Pulled away.
Bang~
Song Xuan slapped his head and realized that he had also entered a logical misunderstanding. Although the bow was not small and difficult to pull open according to the usual archery posture, if it was pulled with both hands, there would be no problem at all.
I still treat him as something like a bed crossbow.
"Quick, put the arrow on it and try it!"
Although it took some time to run to get the bow and arrow, Shi Yu's expression was still quite relaxed. He even changed to holding the wood with one hand and holding the rope with the other hand. Maybe he was thinking of releasing it later. It will be easier.
Song Xuan placed the bow and arrows himself. There was no need to adjust the bow when it was on the stand. Shi Yu just adjusted the height slightly and then gently let go.
"Whoosh~"
There was a sound in the air, and I saw the arrow stabbing steadily on the haystack, and the two animal skins spread on it were pierced.
"Wow!"
Even Song Xuan didn't expect it to be so powerful, and most of the arrows didn't even enter the haystack.
Although the haystack is relatively loose, it is not that easy to insert more than half a meter.
"Let's go, try farther!"
Strike while the iron is hot, Song Xuan pulled Shi Yu to challenge various distances, and finally found that it has good lethality within 80 meters, and can easily pierce animal skins. If it is further away, it is not enough, and the strongest The distance is naturally more than 60 meters set at the beginning. Within this distance, there is no problem at all for three layers of animal skins.
Although the power is very impressive, the disadvantage is that it is difficult to ensure sufficient accuracy.
Not only is the distance too far, there is also a problem with the arrows. Even if Shi Ban polishes them carefully, they are still not as straight as ordinary arrows, and the surface is uneven. When shooting, you can see the arrow shaft shaking with the naked eye.
At a distance of fifty or sixty meters, it can only guarantee that it will hit a target that is seventy centimeters wide. If it is further away, it will naturally be worse.
But even so, a strong person would have almost this width. As long as he is within this distance, he can still have a certain degree of confidence.
"Angel, this..."
Song Xuan knew what Shi Yu wanted to say, so he waved his hand to interrupt him.
Although this bow is powerful and has a long range, its shortcomings are also too obvious. First, it is too heavy and difficult to shoot without setting it on a wooden platform. It is not impossible to use a person as a stand, but it is difficult for human hands. It's tense and at the same time, it's even more impractical.
Secondly, the shooting speed was too slow. Even if he was well prepared, it would take him a long time to shoot an arrow. In this time, Song Xuan estimated that Shi Yu had shot at least a dozen arrows.
Compared with ordinary bows and arrows, it is obviously not cost-effective to use this kind of bow, and the difficulty of using this kind of bow is not high. As Song Xuan pointed out at the beginning, even children can do it as long as they cooperate well. Can be pulled away.
Shi Yu's archery ability is superior to other people in the tribe. Both the distance and accuracy are much higher than others.
Moreover, he has to rely on him to lead the archers in the tribe.
As for this bow, Song Xuan had already arranged an owner for them in his heart, and that was the pregnant women in the tribe.
It is somewhat difficult for these pregnant women to squat behind the wall and participate in the battle like ordinary people. It is not easy to stand up with a big belly, especially for some women who are about to give birth.
Before that, if they wanted to participate in the battle, they could only do the same as everyone else.
If this bow is used, the situation will be much better, at least it will not be so inconvenient to move. Shi Yu can pull the bow alone, and they can arrange two people to use it well after a little running-in.
"Today I heard that my junior high school classmate jumped into the river due to depression. I feel very uncomfortable mentally. We used to have a good relationship, but after high school we stopped getting together and there was no news. I didn't expect to hear such news in the end.
I don’t know what to say, but I wish you all happiness both physically and mentally. "
