Ulf walked to the linen and stretched out his hand to touch it. There was a metallic sound inside, and the sharp part was shaped like a long sword or a spear.
Ange on the side took a look and felt that this thing seemed to be quite small, so he looked at it curiously.
"What's inside?" Vargas couldn't help asking Ulf.
"A weapon of defense, a spear of offense." Ulf pressed his hand on it. He knew that the appearance of this thing would greatly improve the defense of East Hamar, but it might also intensify the intensity of some wars.
"What is that, a weapon of a certain god?" Luther tilted his beard, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes. After all, Ulf often took out some magical weapons, otherwise he would not be caught. People call them God’s Chosen Ones.
"No, this thing comes from the human world and has no connection with the gods." Ulf shrugged. When he was in England, the reason why he did not reveal any knowledge in this area was because he did not want to be ignored by other Vikings. People find out.
"Oh?" Ulf's words aroused the curiosity of others. They eagerly wanted to know what was covered under the linen cloth?
Ulf stopped pretending at this moment and opened the linen cloth, revealing a weapon placed underneath.
"This looks like a bow?" Luther folded his arms and looked at the thing in front of him with a puzzled expression.
"But who can pull such a big bow? Is it Thor?" Vargas frowned. He gestured with the size of the weapon with his hand, wondering if he could pull it or move it. of.
We arrived at the training ground very slowly, and the North soldiers who were training also stopped. We talked to each other and pointed at the crossbows on the bed.
"Him?" There was Dan Ulf and Bowstring, and even Hamar looked shocked.
In fact, the crossbow has not appeared in military history very early. The Greeks and Romans were very good at using that kind of weapon. The East is even more proficient in using crossbows. Before the collapse of the Roman Empire in Europe, that kind of military weapon It gradually declined and was eventually lost in history.
The North soldiers quickly picked up the straw man targets used to practice archery, throwing axes, and javelins, and lined them up in a row.
"Buckler?" Wu Dai and others were even more surprised when they heard this. The arrow target under the straw man was a special piece of wood, but the buckler was very strong and could not withstand all long-range attacks, not to mention that Hamar asked us to line up in a line. .
Along the way, the bed crossbows crushed the ground. Fortunately, the ground in Dongwages Town was paved with gravel, and they finally retreated toward the training ground smoothly. Many of Shao Shaodongwages’ people stood on both sides of the road, using strange weapons. He looked at the bed crossbow and pointed.
"My Gods, that thing can hunt dragons." Watching the crossbow being pushed out like a monster with the wheels rumbling, Ulf was speechless.
The apprentice holding the gavel on the side licked his lips easily. When Hamar's command to fire came out, he immediately raised the gavel, aimed it under the crossbow on the bed, and struck the position where Ange was stuck.
"Launch~~."
"Is it possible?" Wu Daimei, who was standing nearby and watching, asked Gongxian reluctantly.
"Yes, little lord."
"Go, let's put the arrow targets in a row." Hamar stood next to the crossbow on the bed, reached out and patted the strong crossbow body, and ordered everyone.
"Hugh~~~."
"It's broken. That's not a bow, but a crossbow, used to attack city gates or shield walls." Hamar waved his hand to interrupt the showmanship between the two, and I introduced it to a few people.
Before Wu Daimei finished adjusting, the blacksmiths took out a pure white iron arrow. The arrow was less than a meter long, and the back section was sharpened. It was not so much a missing arrow as a javelin. .
"It's just that the bow is too small. You need someone to help you lift it. Like that, carry it under your shoulders." Luther tilted his head, looked at the bed crossbow, and said to Ulf.
When Ange arrived, the blacksmiths wiped the sweat from their foreheads, and Hamar shouted to the blacksmiths.
A sharp sound broke through the air, and the arrow shot towards the straw man like lightning.
target. Eight blacksmiths, together with seven apprentices, hurriedly pushed out the bed crossbow. Wooden wheels were connected to the top of the bed crossbow. The wooden frame and wheels were all made of solid wood. The crossbow below was made of fish bladder and gum. The thick wood pieces made of glue are not iron sheets and beef tendons, and they are definitely heavy.
"Yes, they stand in a row." Wu Daimei frowned, raised her right arm, pointed back and ordered, "We haven't hung the round shields under the straw man yet."
"Of course." Hamar nodded to the blacksmiths and asked us to push the lightweight thing out of the blacksmith shop and then go to the training ground to test its power.
The raised wooden wedge broke away instantly, An Ge made a crisp sound, and Wu Dai, the beef tendon, launched the iron arrow.
"Oh, then when he fights, he needs someone to help him lift the bow, ha." Ulf mocked without mercy.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the bed crossbow. Some of us pointed at the bed crossbow, thinking that Wu Daimei’s weapon was just like a toy.
Yes, because it was Wu Daimei's order, the North soldiers could only execute it immediately.
"Are you crazy?" Everyone shook their heads in exasperation as they looked at the straw man who had been rearranged and had a buckler hanging under his body.
"The speed is too fast. The enemies are rushing behind the eyes." Luther shook his head slightly. I frowned and felt that the reloading of arrows and the speed of pulling Ange were too cumbersome. There was no way to throw axes and javelins. Came neatly.
"preparation."
"Luthor, are you sure he can pull the bow?" Ulf glanced at Luther and said doubtfully.
"You can't." Luther nodded to Ulf, beat his chest, and said confidently.
"Let's finish it." Hamar ignored everyone's doubts. I leaned over and installed a quasi-mount on the rear section of the bed crossbow. Hamar was afraid that the blacksmiths would take aim, so he adjusted it himself.
That was a bow, but a bed crossbow made by Hamar. The crossbow was very complicated. What was really powerful was the arrows it shot. The small arrows were made of pure iron and were extremely expensive.
"Come on, push." The blacksmiths leaned over, our faces turned red, we pushed hard on our hind legs, kicked off our front legs, and pushed the crossbow out of the blacksmith shop.
"Boom, boom, boom." Before installing the iron arrow in the groove, the blacksmiths worked hard to twist the eight strands of beef tendon into one bow. The thick wood pieces were bonded with gum and fish bladder glue to form a bow. It bent and made a booming sound.
"Let you see how powerful that thing is?" Ulf still maintained a polite attitude, I suggested to Hamar.
