In Lingfeng castle, in the study, Arthur is looking carefully with a brand-new bow.

    The appearance of this bow is very different from the traditional longbow. In addition to the fact that the body of the bow is much shorter than the long bow, even the style and material are completely different from the traditional long bow.

    This is a compound reverse bow!

    Composite refers to the materials it uses.

    Most of the traditional longbows are made of elm, hazelnut or ash wood. In addition, there are a small number of superior longbows, and the scarce purple shirt wood will be used to make the bow body.

    However, no matter what kind of wood is used, the bow body material is extremely single, and it looks like a round wooden stick with strings pulled.

    The long bow in Arthur''s hand is flat, and the material is not purple shirt wood, but three kinds of wood growing in the south foot of the Tungus mountains.

    In addition to bow body wood, the manufacturing process is also different from traditional long-term workers.

    First of all, in the middle of the bow body, there is a handle that is easy to grasp and quickly take an arrow. In addition, it is also one of the most important points: Arthur asked the bowmaker to use animal glue to stick the treated Warcraft tendon to the bow back.

    Bow and arrow is a weapon that converts elastic potential energy into kinetic energy.

    When people pull the bow, the bow stores the force exerted by people, and then when releasing the bow string, the bow quickly recovers to the original state, and converts the stored energy into the power of the arrow.

    Simply put, the power of bow and arrow is directly proportional to the force applied to the bow and the recovery speed of the bow body.

    The greater the force people use to pull the bow and the faster the bow body changes from deformation to recovery, the greater the power of the bow and arrow.

    Therefore, to increase the power of bows and arrows, we must strengthen the elasticity and toughness of bows.

    The elasticity of Warcraft tendon can be described as excellent.

    After adhering the Warcraft tendon, the bow body is like adding an elastic device like a rubber band. After pulling, the bow body can instantly return to its original position, greatly improving the energy conversion and enhancing the power of the bow and arrow.

    In addition to the addition of Warcraft tendon, there is another important change in the composite reverse arch, that is, the use of arch.

    In addition to increasing the elastic potential energy of the bow, the more important purpose of the use of the bow is to make the bow shorter without reducing the power of the bow and arrow.

    The length of the long bow in this world is extremely exaggerated. The short one has reached one meter and seven meters, and the long one is more than two meters. It stands higher than people on the ground!

    As a war weapon, the longbow is designed not to look good, but to improve energy conversion and increase the shooting distance of bows and arrows.

    The purple long bow in this world can shoot at a distance of more than 300 meters. Within 200 meters, it can pierce the knight''s plate armor, and within 150 meters, it can shoot a fully armed Knight.

    Although Changgong is powerful and comparable to a pistol, in Arthur''s view, as a long-range lethal weapon, the longbow has an obvious disadvantage - it can''t ride and shoot!

    Because the long worker''s bow body is too long to be used on horseback, when riding and shooting, knights use a reduced version of the long bow. The medium bow with a length of less than 1.7 meters. Even for convenience, some Knights will use a short bow with a length of less than 1.2 meters.

    However, both medium bow and short bow lose the power of bow and arrow in exchange for convenient use.

    According to Thorne, if Zhonggong wants to penetrate the knight''s plate armor, it needs to be within 100 meters, while if it wants to penetrate the plate armor and lock armor to form effective killing, it needs to be within 50 meters.

    As for the short bow... Thorne doesn''t know, because there is no short bow in Lingfeng castle.

    Even the middle bow is used for Knight training.

    Fifty meters, at the speed of the knight''s charge, it is estimated that it will take only two arrows.

    No wonder knights in this world only use bows and arrows when guarding the city, and only charge and close combat on horseback. When Arthur knew the situation, he couldn''t help sighing in his heart.

    The maximum width of the bow mouth of this composite reverse bow is only one meter. According to the bow and arrow standards of the world, it is a proper short bow.

    Holding the newly made compound reverse bow, Arthur straightened his waist and opened the bow string with an empty arrow.

    The bow string is made of Warcraft''s tendons. It looks like a white silver wire.

    The moment he pulled the bow, Arthur felt the huge reaction of the bow string.

    "Jump!"

    At the moment of releasing the bow string, the bow body instantly recovered, and Arthur''s body leaned forward slightly with great force.

    "How are you, my lord?" Thorne asked hastily.

    Looking at the gorgeous new bows and arrows and listening to the sound of bowstrings bouncing, Thorne couldn''t help but be eager to try.

    Looking at Thorne, Arthur handed him the bow and arrow: "how! I don''t know!"

    Thorne nodded and immediately grabbed the bow and arrow.

    "Jump!" a clear and dull string sounded again in the study.

    Thorne looked at the bow and arrow in his hand with some shock. He thought that the pulling force of such a short bow and arrow should be much lighter, but after trying, he found that it was heavier than the long bow.

    "How?" Arthur asked with a smile.

    "Sir, it''s heavy!" Thorne''s eyes still looked surprised. "This bow needs at least 90 kilograms to open! It''s much heavier than the long bow! I''m afraid only fighting knights can use such a bow."

    Looking at Thorne''s surprised look, Arthur was very satisfied.

    Heavy bow is probably the only disadvantage of this bow, but Arthur doesn''t care.

    This composite reverse bow with Warcraft material is prepared for fighting knights.

    Ordinary people, even strong men, hold such a bow and shoot three or four arrows at most. They will have weak arms and can''t be used to fight at all.

    Holding the water cup, Arthur smiled and asked, "how many arrows can you shoot without fatigue with this bow?"

    "This bow..." Thorne thought, "there should be no problem with less than 100. If it exceeds 100, it may be inaccurate."

    "Cough!" Arthur choked on the water.

    A hundred!!??

    He just pulled the bow string and estimated that he could shoot up to ten quasi arrows!

    Arthur gave Thorne a white look - he is worthy of being a guy with silver fighting strength and can''t provoke

    "What''s the problem, sir?" Thorne asked suspiciously when he looked strange.

    "No, not at all!"

    Put down the water cup, Arthur directly ordered: "go down and let people prepare. It''s outside the castle. Let''s wait and try the power of this bow..."

    "Yes, sir." Thorne set aside his bow and arrow and immediately turned out to deliver the order.

    An hour later, Arthur and more than a dozen guards stood in the open space outside the castle.

    Looking at the stakes every 50 meters ahead, Arthur nodded with satisfaction. The farthest wooden stake is 600 meters!

    "Captain Thorne, it''s up to you," Arthur said to Thorne next to him.

    "Yes, my Lord!"

    Under the gaze of the crowd, Thorne pulled a feather arrow from the arrow pot at his feet and pulled the bow string at the nearest stake.
