Disguised as a man: Watch me create a new dynasty
Chapter 74: Thank You Banquet for Being Injured
In the main tent of the Xie family army, General Xie sat on a low stool next to the bed with a guilty look on his face.
Xie Yanli, who was sitting on the bed, had shining eyes and was fiddling with the crossbow model in one hand.
The military doctor beside the bed was bandaging Xie Yanli's left arm which was injured by a crossbow.
There were blood-stained towels at the feet of the military doctor.
"Brother, let me see the target that father used just now."
Xie Yanli's voice was filled with excitement.
The young general, who appears unfathomable and domineering in front of outsiders, would relax himself in front of his family and become like a real twelve-year-old child.
Xie Junyan, the eldest brother of the Xie family, is a general with a refined air. He is extremely doting on his younger brothers, especially the youngest, Xie Yanli, and basically grants all his requests.
At this time, Xie Junyan looked at Xiaowu, who was injured but still focused on studying weapons, with helplessness on his face.
"Xiao Wu, can you cooperate with Doctor Yan and stop the bleeding first? Be obedient."
Even though he was blaming his brother for being disobedient, his action of picking up the target was very honest.
The other brothers rolled their eyes.
The second brother, Xie Wenhao, pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, "Xiaowu, show me the little thing in your hand."
In fact, several major generals of the Xie family have studied weapons, and the most fascinated among them are the second son Xie Wenhao and the fifth son Xie Yanli.
The latter is even worse.
Xie Yanli stared at the target in his eldest brother's hand and had no time to pay attention to his second brother.
The target is made of a whole template. At this time, the red dot in the center of the target has been penetrated, leaving a hole with smooth edges and no burrs.
This is just a model, is it so powerful?
If a bow and arrow were used, no matter how strong the general's arms were, it would be impossible to achieve such an effect.
The main reason is that the speed is not enough.
A good bow and arrow has very high requirements for the bowstring.
Making a great bowstring requires meeting many demanding conditions and using specific materials to ensure its performance and durability.
The bowstring must be strong and flexible enough to withstand the tremendous tension generated when shooting an arrow.
This requires that the selected material has good toughness and tensile strength.
Typically, horse, cow or deer shanks and hair are chosen as the main ingredients because they have high tensile strength and elasticity.
The bowstring also needs to have a certain stability and durability.
During long-term use, the bowstring may be affected by factors such as humidity, temperature changes, and frequent stretching. If it does not have good stability, the bowstring may easily break or deform.
Therefore, some special processing methods are often added when making bowstrings, such as soaking, drying, oiling, etc., to enhance their durability and adaptability.
In addition, the length and thickness of the bowstring also need to be customized according to the needs of different types of bows and archers.
And you don’t have to worry about these with the bows and crossbows in front of you.
Although bows and crossbows also require strings, the young scholar from the Yan family said that the strings of this crossbow are made of a mysterious material.
Even if they were picked up by the enemy on the battlefield, there was no need to worry about them developing bows and crossbows, because they did not have the main material for making the strings.
So even if it is produced, its power will be similar to that of a bow and arrow.
Nothing to fear at all.
This is also the reason why Yan Nansheng presented bows and crossbows to the Xie family army.
The key things cannot be imitated by others, and such powerful weapons are monopolized by Xie’s army.
Even if the emperor has any ideas about the Xie family army in the future, he will have to think carefully about it.
Yan Nansheng is like this. He will do his best to protect those who have already belonged to his circle.
As her in-laws, the Xie family has been regarded as her own.
Naturally, the Xie family is also worthy of her protection.
When the sons of the Xie family turn ten years old, they will be sent to the Xie family army in the northern border, and General Xie will personally lead them to the battlefield.
Although there have been no large-scale wars in recent years, the country is located on the border and is adjacent to the fierce and domineering Tatar barbarians in the north.
Small-scale wars never stopped.
The Tatars are a nomadic people and are the most warlike. Their ancestors have been eyeing the fat piece of meat in the Central Plains for generations.
They are not good at growing food, nor do they have good environmental conditions for growing food.
Therefore, most of them rely on robbing the states and counties on the border of Daqing, and when they are gentler, they will also engage in some formal trade exchanges.
The heavy snow outside shows no sign of stopping, and the military camp is surrounded by snow walls built by the soldiers.
From a distance, it looks like entering a world of ice and snow.
The four-meter-high ice and snow wall blocks out all prying eyes from the outside world.
With such heavy snow, the Tatar people in the north must have suffered heavy losses.
Without food and extremely hungry, they will surely engage in large-scale looting on the border of Daqing.
No matter how heavy the snow is, it will stop.
After the heavy snow, the Tatars will march their cavalry into Daqing.
The war is about to start.
Nomadic people are naturally taller and stronger than Daqing people. They eat beef and mutton all year round and are much stronger than Daqing people.
On the battlefield, two or three Daqing soldiers might not be able to defeat one Tatar soldier.
Therefore, even if they have the advantage in numbers, the Xie family does not want to see too many casualties.
If Yan Nansheng's crossbow is made, it will catch the Tatars off guard.
A skateboard can also come in handy.
If it goes well, this time the Tatars can be driven back deep into the grassland.
The soldiers arranged the ski resort according to Yan Nansheng's instructions and were secretly training a special force.
There weren’t many people, maybe only about 500.
But if they are trained well, they will become a magical army!
Currently, only a few main generals know about it.
These five hundred people will be the key to victory in this war.
Xie Yanli glanced at Xie Wenhao, "This is no small thing. It can penetrate the wooden target, and still have enough power to penetrate the big tent and the wooden frame outside where the torches are placed, and then pierce my arm!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Wenhao was so shocked that he stood up immediately, and without saying a word, he ran outside the big tent to check where Xie Yanli was injured.
The generals in the tent looked at each other, shock in their eyes almost overflowing.
Xie Wenhao soon discovered that what Xiaowu said was true!
The panel on the shelf where the torches are placed has been penetrated!
His eyes were full of disbelief!
What kind of strength does this require? Even the most powerful archer cannot guarantee that the arrow can penetrate a person's arm after penetrating so many layers of wooden boards!
At first, we only heard that Xiaowu was injured by his father with an unfinished toy.
But he overlooked one point, Xiaowu was the best in Qinggong among the brothers, and also the most agile.
He couldn't dodge that arrow!
It can be seen how fast the arrow was.
If this speed still exists after passing through several layers of obstacles, then this little thing is really a good thing.
"Brother, what are you doing here researching?"
