Yang Fan originally wanted to pretend, but after a few moments he forgot how to pretend.
He still gave Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yuerushi, and installed them according to the instructions. It has been more than a year and he has long forgotten.
After thinking for a while, he continued to pretend. Finally the bow body is installed. Then Yang Fan planned to hang up the bowstring. But Mrs. Zhang, Miss Zhang, and Huang Hao hurriedly exclaimed. Huang Hao even held down Yang Fan's arm and said, "Master, please let the younger one do these rough jobs."
Saying that, he quickly grabbed the pulley bow. Start hanging the bow string skillfully.
The way Yang Fan hung the bow string just now was wrong. It startled several people around. If the bow string is not hung properly, something serious will happen.
As the saying goes, you can kill an ox by overturning your bow. If the hanging string falls off, the bow arm will rebound and hit the person, which can break the person's sternum.
At this time, everyone around him saw that Yang Fan didn't know how to use a bow at all.
Zhang Fengyi even suppressed her laughter and scratched Yang Fan's cheek with her fingers in the dark, signaling to Brother Yang that he was missing. So embarrassing. Huo Shi saw it from the corner of his eye and stepped on her angrily.
Yang Fan was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I'll make you laugh, I haven't touched this thing for a long time, I forgot about it."
Huang Hao is still very familiar with pulley bows. The martial arts hall has special courses on how to decompose and combine. Yang Fan's people were all quick-made, and they basically relied on advanced technology to cheat. Otherwise, it would be impossible to develop shooting skills in just a few months.
They are not the composite crossbows with sights that come with modern delivery. Just use the pulley bow and other cheating methods.
Huang Hao skillfully installed one, carefully checked it several times, and after confirming that there was no problem, handed it over to Yang Fan.
"Sir, this one is ready."
Yang Fan picked up an exquisite and handsome pulley bow full of modern style and very cool design. He made a bowing gesture and drew the bowstring gracefully. It was a long-lost archery experience.
With a bang, Yang Fan let go of the string, and the bow trembled violently.
The people around me trembled when they saw this, and they all secretly blamed Yang Fan for wasting his family.
The most taboo thing about bows and arrows is empty discharge. It hurts the bow arm too much. If this bow belonged to Zhang Fengyi, she would be very anxious. An archery master undoubtedly takes good care of his bow the most, taking care of it as if it were his own eyeballs. Absolutely no damage at all.
Yang Fan nodded with satisfaction and said, "No problem. Mrs. Zhang, please try this pulley bow and see if you can get it."
Yang Fan said and handed the bow and arrows to Huo, and then handed over a quiver with a hundred arrows in it.
Huo fully drew the bow very easily. She let out a surprised sigh. She could feel the huge power accumulated in the bow arm. But the bowstring was fully drawn really easily.
For things like bows and arrows, the energy storage depends entirely on the bow arms. The bow arm must be made of elastic material that can store force. The bow string cannot have any elasticity. The arms of this bow are made of metal and some composite materials and carbon fiber. Huo was confused and confused.
I didn't expect that the steel bow arms could actually store power. This kind of mild steel must be very expensive.
"Madam, you can try shooting an arrow." Yang Fan said with a smile.
Whoosh! As soon as Huo let go, an arrow suddenly shot out. The bow arm deformed violently. However, the magic is that this violent tremor seems to be offset up and down, and the middle part is held firmly in the hand. It doesn't affect the continued shooting at all.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
These two bows were given to Madam. Yang Fan said with a smile when he saw Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang couldn't put it down.
The pulley bow is really not a good thing for him. I can give birth now. It's a mechanical pulley block with a labor-saving structure, so it's not difficult at all. Now the rural militias below have a lot of people. But they are all made of mild steel, with a maximum strength of fifteen.
These two are transmitted from modern times. The materials used are very good. Yang Fan's guards have a certain number of troops to carry. After all, this thing has no sound. Better to use than firecrackers in some special situations.
Although she liked it very much, Huo still declined: "I cannot accept such an expensive gift. Uncle Dingyuan is too polite."
Yang Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I have a lot of these things here. This is not an expensive gift. I have almost a handful of guards. Madam, feel free to accept it. The Ming Dynasty is now a troubled time. Bandits are rampant and bandits are everywhere. There are a few. A sharp weapon for self-defense, you might need it overnight."
Seeing what Yang Fan said, Huo had no choice but to accept it. Zhang Fengyi even cheered and held on to the pulley bow tightly, as if she was afraid that her mother would take it away.
After the Zungar people made such a fuss, everyone couldn't sleep anymore, so they brought some top chairs. Sit on the platform, drink tea and chat.
An hour later, it was almost dawn. The morning star can already be seen rising in the east.
At this time, a rammed earth city appeared in front of us. Linhe City has arrived.
This city was built during the Han Dynasty. But there were repairs in all dynasties until the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, although it is severely weathered and somewhat damaged, the main structure is very complete.
After the Mongols were beaten back to the grasslands, their strength was greatly reduced, and each tribe lost the ability to repair. Therefore, the city wall is completely covered with weeds, and there are also partially collapsed gaps.
By this time, it was already getting light, and it was no longer dark. The dark clouds in the sky have also dispersed, and it is a good day today.
Yang Fan was condescending on the platform, carefully observing the last city that needed to be attacked.
The ancient city is approximately square in plan. The outer side of the north wall is about 956 meters long, the east wall is about 1097 meters long, the south wall is about 957 meters long, and the west wall is about 1109 meters long. There are corners at the four corners of the ancient city. There is a horse face outside the platform wall, and there are three urns and city gates.
Due to weathering, the current height of the city wall is up to 9 meters. There are four horse faces and an urn on the east wall, south wall and west wall respectively. The average wall length between facilities is 140 meters.
The horse face of the east wall is about 6 meters high and 10 meters wide, and the east urn is about 50 meters wide and 8 meters high.
The south wall is about 6 meters high and 7 meters wide. The south wall is about 60 meters wide and 9 meters high.
The western wall was severely damaged, with most of the wall, horse face and urn city having collapsed into a gentle slope. The gap where Huang Taiji collapsed was rebuilt and filled with stones and clay.
There are five horse faces in the north wall without urn, but they have collapsed. Judging from the shape of the piles, the width of the horse faces is 10 meters on average, and the average length of the wall between the horse faces is 130 meters.
The wood used here is made of wooden walls with sharpened tops. It looks similar to the wooden walls in Age of Empires.
There is a city gate on each of the west, south and east walls, but there is no city gate on the north wall. This layout may be related to the geographical location of the ancient city. The ancient city was built in a mountain basin between the main stream and tributaries of the Yellow River, and there was no north gate in the layout to prevent enemies mainly coming from the north, which was conducive to the defense of the ancient city.
After all, this is the foundation of construction in the Han Dynasty. It was not abandoned until the early Ming Dynasty. During the Hongwu period, large-scale renovations were carried out. Although it has been severely damaged over the past two hundred years, it is still very large, covering four square kilometers.
The surrounding terrain is flat and close to water sources, which is conducive to agriculture and animal husbandry.
No wonder Dasa Huang Taiji retreated here, it is such a good place.
