Augustus Under the Horseshoe

Chapter 30 ：Keeping a crossbow

, People who can’t use bows and arrows at all. I have been under your care for more than half a month, so I have to do something, otherwise my conscience can’t get through. ”

“Ah, that’s how it is.” Kuronia nodded suddenly. Leng Jun’s face under the bird’s beak showed a smirk that “men all know”, his callused hands, and pinned it on his chest, he lifted it upwards twice.

Painhurs rolled his eyes silently. He bet that this guy would never dare to do such a wretched move in front of Sister Christina.

“Well, the terrifying power of the chief is enough to pull the heavy crossbows that have been captured. In the past three days, I have also imitated a light crossbow with a smaller pull for the petite and lovely bard. And several hundred. Corresponding crossbow arrows.” The pale white horse looked at the finished product in his hand with satisfaction. He used viscous gum and strong nails to manually lengthen the length of the rhubarb crossbow, making it more suitable for the slender Christina.

At the front end of the heavy crossbow, an inverted triangle-shaped hollow pedal is built and fixed in accordance with the shape of a horseshoe. When winding the crossbow, the crossbowman only needs to gently step on the pedal with the front hoof to fix the entire crossbow, then bend down and pull the crossbow with both hands to complete the winding action faster and with less effort.

Then, the pale white horse converted and translated the specifications of the Rhubarb Crossbow on Wangshan (aiming caliper) into the unit of measurement used by the centaurs. Combining the impact points of several experimental shots by myself, the light crossbow I personally built, also added a more accurate aiming system.

One light and one heavy, two simple crossbows made successfully!

“Couronia, to be honest, you can number your carpentry apprentices and build a batch of smaller light crossbows based on the models of this batch of heavy crossbows.” Payinhurs said seriously. “If you think about it, the crossbow can store kinetic energy. Usually, you carry a light crossbow that is fully loaded on your body. In case of emergencies, you can launch it without bending the bow and the arrow. This is a little time advantage. , Enough to reverse the whole battle.”

“Well, it makes sense.” Kuronia nodded in thought. “I’ll consider your opinion, hurry up and give the two crossbows to Sister Bloodanger. They must be happy.”

“Okay, I’ll go first.” The white horse straightened up his tall and sturdy body from the workbench, slowly walked out of the snow house of the predator leader, and ran into Christina, who was playing with a group of ponies. .

“Wow! Isn’t this the Painhus who defeated the Bear Goblin Chief?!” The dozen or so young ponies who saw Painhus’s pale figure suddenly let out a silver bell of laughter. Yin, happily surrounded the pale white horses and asked him to tell the story of his battle with Manclaw. On the countless small fleshy faces, there are pairs of amber and hazel mainly

Lovely twin pupils, full of little stars of worship.

These little horses are too immature. For adult horses, they can only wrap their upper body with fur coats, but they wrap them up and down tightly, and the ends of the animal skins even drag them to the ground.

“Huh? Why are you with Curonia.” Christina rubbed her tired eyes and regained her spirit. Even the energetic rouge horse, after finishing a day’s work, was tossed by a bunch of bear kids.

“Ah, because I found those cross-shaped longbows in the trophies.” Painhes, who was surrounded by a group of ponies, walked cautiously in the direction of the Bloodwrath Chief, for fear of accidentally hurting them. Lovely Zhengma, Loli. Sincerely pulled up the rouge horse, the right hand exuding amazing heat. Lightly placed the heavy crossbow after her transformation on her white palm.

“This is what we seized from the goblin, called a crossbow. Although the rate of fire is slower than that of the bow and arrow, it has a longer range and greater power. I specially modified it according to your height.” Payinhurs smiled and said To. “When I first came, I didn’t ask you why you don’t use bows and arrows… Seeing your grievances and dissatisfaction, so I made this specially for you.”

“Wow, you made it specially for me?” Christina clenched the cross-shaped longbow in disbelief. The blood-colored pupils, which were as magnificent as rubies, flashed with extremely happy eyes. “How is this weird crossbow used?”

“Yes, I have taken care of you for so many days in vain, and I have learned so much knowledge. Therefore, I also want to do what I can for you.” The white white horse said with a smile. “Seeing the front of the crossbow, is the hollow tripod I nailed on? When winding, the front hoof stepped on the inverted triangle-shaped wooden frame, and the crossbow string was pulled upward with both hands, and then the groove was filled with special characteristics. The crossbow arrows can be used.”

“I’ll try!” Christina couldn’t wait to step on the kicking pedal and bend down her soft waist. The pair of turbulent soft snow peaks in front of his chest also swayed gently with the vigorous activity of the rouge horse, and Painhes was dazzled by the look.

“Eh… and then?” The Bloodfury Chief easily hung the tough crossbow string on his teeth, and excitedly asked how to do the next step. “Tell me how to use it again.”

“Then load the crossbow bolt into the groove on the crossbow arm.” Painhurs drew a special crossbow bolt and placed it in Christina’s palm. “Have you seen this Wangshan for aiming? This is an auxiliary aiming system. Because the arrow’s trajectory is a parabola, there are marks on the Wangshan for different distances and aiming calipers that should be used. After aiming, pull the hanging knife , The teeth hanging on the crossbow string will loosen, and the crossbow bolt filled in the groove will be sent into the flesh and blood of the enemy.”

“That’s it.” Christina took Painhurs’s cold big hand and walked around inside the igloo-lined camp, and finally shook off the group of chirping and furious little ponies, and came near the stables. . Interestingly, he aimed at the few fat pigs left in it, and drew the arrogant hanging knife!

“Puff!”

A sharp crossbow arrow, like lightning, tore through the surrounding cold and dark air, nailed precisely to the head of a boar, and instantly pierced his fragile flesh and blood and strong skull! The huge impact directly knocked that behemoth to the ground!

“Awesome!” Looking at the livestock that fell down eighty feet away, Christina looked at the weird crossbow and arrows in disbelief, weeping with joy, and even the voice of her words became a little choked. “Did you know that my sister was short and deformed. She was deprived of her right to inheritance by her mother since she was a child. All the tribesmen looked at me eagerly, hoping that I would become an excellent heir. For this, I paid more than my peers? With time and sweat, I keep honing my fighting skills! Especially bows and arrows!”

“Slowly, two years later, my bow and arrow skills are better than all my peers! I can even compare with some adults! But…but, because of this **** physical reason, I get better with bow and arrow. Difficulty! In the end, I couldn’t participate in the hunting activities of my compatriots! When I watched them carry a head of elk, a wolf, and return with a full load, I have the heart to die!”

The rouge horse suddenly hugged Painhurs’ cold body, his white chin, and gently leaned on the other’s broad shoulders, sobbing louder and louder. “Thanks…Thank you! I can finally find the glory of the past!”

“Is archery hunting so important to cents and horses?” Painhes felt the beautiful touch on his chest. While silently complaining in his heart, he gently hugged the incomparably soft curvaceous body of the rouge horse and patted it lightly. Her back “Okay, okay, it’s all over, now you can hunt again, can’t you? Come on, let’s clean up this poor livestock, it’s almost time for dinner.”
