1629. Is This the Strongest?

Little Black is a self-proclaimed Confucian businessman, which can be seen from the sports he likes, he likes golf, and Qin Shiou likes basketball, as for Billy? The guy liked football, so little Blake usually called Billy a savage.

Qin Shiou asked little Blake to try out the longbow to see how powerful it was, but it was actually a problem for him.

He himself is a master at playing bow and arrow, and he can use a compound bow with ease. In his hands, it is a weapon that is not inferior to guns at all.

In terms of power alone, modern longbows are stronger than composite bows. The arrow clusters it can shoot can reach a maximum range of 400 yards, and the initial speed of the arrows can reach more than 60 meters per second, which is equivalent to bolts falling from a 60-story building. Or a stone thrown at a car with a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour is powerful.

In addition, in actual combat, the longbow could penetrate leather, padded armor, and fabric at a distance of 240 to 280 yards, or penetrate chain mail. At a distance of 200 yards, it can kill plate armor or scale armor and cause penetration, but if it is within 100 yards, once it is hit from the front, even the plate armor cannot resist!

If it is within 50 meters, the longbow and sharp arrow can be said to be invincible!

According to historical records, during the siege of Abergavenny in 1182, the arrows fired by the Welsh pierced the four-inch thick oak door panel. In the same battle, a knight under William of Blaus was shot. The arrow penetrated his chain mail skirt, leg armor, thigh, and passed through the inner leg armor and wooden saddle, all the way to the horse's back!

However, powerful weapons require matching power to use. The English longbow has such a high demand for the quality of archers that many modern cold weapon research experts believe that the power of the longbow is exaggerated.

Because according to historical records, the power of the longbow is so powerful, and the strength of the archer is particularly strong. Even for modern people who are well-nourished and trained scientifically, it is theoretically difficult to draw the traditional English war bow, let alone the British farmers who were in a state of famine at that time?

Billy's salvage work on the pirate wreck really explained it this time, and he salvaged some dry bones. It is said that there are some bones in the spine and humerus that have deformed changes. The British are the skeletons of archers. It was true that their nutritional intake was not as good as that of modern people, but through morbid training and special training. There is no pressure to draw this longbow.

Under Qin Shiou's teasing, Little Black had to take out his longbow to prove his point. This bow and arrow is made of high-quality yew wood, which has been repeatedly charcoal roasted and oiled, and soaked in whale water all year round. in oil. It still remains flexible.

Qin Shiou helped Little Blake put on the bowstring, tried pulling it, and then exclaimed: "Xue Te, it's unbelievable. This bow and arrow must have been preserved underwater for hundreds of years? It can still be drawn? Except our country's Yue Wang Goujian sword,

I have never seen such a perverted ancient cold weapon. "

The bow body is still flexible, but the bowstring is not good. Little Black rushed the duck to the shelf, he took two deep breaths, and his face showed a solemn look. The left hand held the bow, and the right hand put an arrow on the bowstring, ready to draw it.

Qin Shiou went up and reminded him with good intentions: "Hey, brother, don't blame me for not saying it in advance. The English war bow is different from other bows and arrows. The most stressed one is not the bowman, but the bowman, which is your left hand. Max, don't strain a muscle."

Little Black had finally mustered up the strength to shoot the arrow. As a result, when Qin Shiou interrupted, he lost all strength on his side, so he could only curse and draw the bow again.

He took two deep breaths again, his chest and abdomen muscles tensed, and his legs stretched into a horse stance. With his right hand, he tried his best to pinch the arrow feather and prepared to pull it back.

At this time Qin Shiou went up again and said: "Be careful, buddy, don't let the bow string be empty, it will do too much harm to the bow--you remember, this bow is the precious inheritance of you British, and it is still Antique cultural relic weapons."

The concentrated attention was dispelled again, and Little Black couldn't help scolding his mother: "Fake squid, Qin, get the hell out of here! You damn guy, what's the use of using such indecent means? I will definitely demonstrate it to you, our war bow is the best bow and arrow in the world!"

Qin Shiou shrugged, stood aside and waited with his arms folded. He knew that Little Black would definitely not be able to shoot a powerful arrow.

Archery is a kind of war, and it is about going all out and then failing. Little Blake is already exhausted by heart failure.

Little Blake gathered his strength again, and ended up posing several times before putting down the bow and arrow. Billy got impatient and said, "Brother, can you please shoot it quickly? Are you shooting or masturbating? I'm masturbating." Guan is also faster than you...Xue Te, that's not what I meant..."

Qin Shiou looked at him in horror, while Little Black was full of anger: "Fake squid, you two bastards, I will not let you go!"

While roaring, Little Blake pulled back the bowstring violently, only to hear a crisp sound of 'baji', and the antique bowstring broke all of a sudden...

Billy was dumbfounded at this moment, but Qin Shiou was mentally prepared, and explained: "It's okay, bowstrings used to be tanned with sheep intestines or tendons, and after such a long time, they have long lost their toughness. .”

Indeed, the bowstring has no toughness and elasticity. If a normal bowstring is pulled hard, the bounced bowstring may stretch on the face and cause injury, and the broken bowstring hangs down like a rope.

Hearing his unsalty words, Billy was very dissatisfied, and shouted: "What is normal? This is an antique, do you understand? I just found such a bowstring, and you broke it for me?"

Qin Shiou waved his hand and said, "Okay, buddy, isn't it more important that our brothers are safe? This bowstring is just broken, not thrown away, just glue it together with turpentine glue."

Billy murmured: "I hope, I have already decided who to sell this longbow and this set of armor to. It is definitely worth millions. The bow string cannot be broken. If any one is missing, the value will drop." a lot of."

Putting away the longbow, Qin Shiou looked at Little Blake with a grin, and said, "This is the world's number one English bow? I don't think so."

Little Black was so angry that he said, "When you put on a new bowstring, I must show you the power of our war bow. Isn't that a joke? Brother, I'm not joking!"

Billy's salvage team continued to work. From time to time, whale oil barrels were pulled out of the water and immediately sent into the cabin. Specialized personnel began to clean up the whale oil in a vacuum environment, displaying the precious antiques inside. (To be continued.)
