These Crossbows Were Weapons of Mass Destruction

Zhao Muyuan blinked, looking surprised, and asked, "Young Master, how did you calculate this? How can you calculate it so quickly and accurately?"

Zhou Wanwan coughed and said, "Draw a table! Like this."

Zhou Wanwan taught him for half an hour, Zhao Muyuan nodded and said, "Your method is indeed very effective. I didn't expect you to be so amazing."

Zhou Wanwan sighed. Even a middle school student in her previous life would have been able to make this kind of form.

She waved her hand and said, "Can we skip class today? I'm so tired!"

Zhao Muyuan looked at her and said:

"Alright, that concludes my lesson for today."

Next, you'll be attending lessons from General Qin Shan and General Shen Chaoge!

Zhou Wanwan was speechless. What did these old men have to do? Why were they staring at her every day?

She had just stood up when she saw the two generals walk in Congrong. Shen Chaoge said, "General Qin will teach you archery today, and I will teach you military strategy."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them and said:

"General Qin, General Shen, do you think this is funny? Why don't you both go and lead the troops?"

You're wasting your time on me; that's a huge waste of your talent!

Do you think I'm suited to learn these things?

I'm a girl, shouldn't I learn things like needlework, cooking, playing musical instruments, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and literature?

Besides, what danger could I possibly encounter? I have those tree people."

Shen Chaoge looked at her seriously and said:

Why would the young master have such thoughts? Why place your hopes on others?

I think it's good to learn even one thing. You're destined to be extraordinary, and you're destined to work harder than the average person.

But things will surely get better after all the hardships.

Qin Shan nodded and said, "Young Master, whose class would you like to attend first?"

Zhou Wanwan was too exhausted to talk to them anymore, so she waved her hand and said, "Let's go shoot arrows first!"

At first, Zhou Wanwan thought that time travel was a very good thing, as she could sleep well and eat well every day.

She only realized now that time travel was just suffering. If she had known these people would force her to study, she wouldn't have taken them in.

Zhou Wanwan is quite good at archery; her first arrow today hit the bullseye.

She smiled and said, "It really is quite good."

Then someone came to report, "A large group of people have appeared at the foot of the mountain, seemingly from the capital. They're in a huge procession and have probably surrounded us."

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "Shall we go and see what's going on?"

Zhou Wanwan Zhou Wanwan Qin Shan and Shen Chaoge towards the lookout tower, where she used the binoculars to look around.

She had this telescope specially made; it has extremely high clarity.

Zhou Wanwan looked around through the binoculars and said, "These are all military personnel. Take a look, do you recognize them?"

"Hey! This person looks so familiar!" General Qin Shan, the Great General of the Northern Garrison, blinked as he looked at the person through the binoculars.

Another soldier standing nearby said, "Isn't this one of your men? Pei Yong, do you recognize him? The one with the really strong one?"

Qin Shan laughed heartily, "So it's him! Now he's something else, a great general, how impressive!"

Pei Yong was indeed brave and skilled in battle, and he had also learned some military strategies from Qin Shan.

He can be considered Qin Shan's half-disciple.

Qin Shan frowned and said, "No, what are these people planning to do? Are they here to attack us?"

Shen Chaoge looked at the person through the binoculars and said:

"Or what do you think? Do you think he came to catch up with you?"

There are several familiar faces here!

"They were all my subordinates! How come they're still alive?"

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched. They'd already attacked, and they were still gossiping about this nonsense. Was it really necessary?

The soldiers in the mountain stronghold were well-trained and immediately set up the cannons.

Some people also set up crossbows, all of which were made in Luban Village.

Looking at the crossbows, Qin Shan said, "Tsk tsk tsk... Our village is truly full of talented people! They actually managed to make these crossbows?"

This is a ballista, which connects three compound bows in parallel. It requires eighty people to operate the winch simultaneously to cock it. Its tested range is 1075 meters, and its actual combat range is 465 meters.

This was designed by Zhou Wanwan, but she only drew a sketch, a rough draft.

Later on, it was all done by the people from Luban Village, who calculated it based on simple blueprints.

The people of Luban Village are simply amazing; they are incredibly talented.

Zhou Wanwan made good use of the heavy weapons from her previous life and had them slowly develop them.

Not only these ballistae, but also dozens of Song Dynasty crossbows.

The bow is made of mulberry wood, the crossbow body is made of sandalwood, the trigger mechanism is made of iron, and the string is made of twisted silk and hemp. When the string is cocked, it requires the help of stepping on it and the whole body to exert force. The range can reach 553 meters.

Capable of penetrating heavy armor, it played a crucial role in the Battle of Diaoyu City during the Southern Song Dynasty and the Battle of Chanzhou during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhou Wanwan is still very curious about this history, and sometimes she will look through some of these materials.

She had seen the general appearance of Song Shen's crossbow in the materials, and then drew it.

These crossbows are truly devastating weapons.

Pei Yong lurched on his horse and almost fell off:

"It's really interesting that I, a great general, have to come to this desolate mountain wilderness to suppress bandits."

"What kind of bandit are you talking about that would make me personally take action?"

Several of the guards beside him said, "When our general makes a move, the entire region will tremble."

"Of course! Do you think those bandits would turn to jelly at the sight of our General?"

"Hahahaha... I'm afraid he'll immediately cry for his parents and beg for mercy on his knees."

"How could this rabble possibly be a match for our great general?"

Pei Yong waved his hand and said, "Keep it down, keep it down. Why don't you all learn from me?"

One of the guards said, "We can't keep a low profile! Our General Pei is a dragon among men, who can compare to him?"

Pei Yong said with a stern face, "Stop talking nonsense. If General Qin were here, I'd be nothing but a lowly soldier under his command."

Someone sighed and said, "Isn't it because General Qin isn't here?"

Suddenly someone said:

"If General Qin were here, and if General Shen Chaoge were here, we don't know what our situation would be like now!"

I heard that General Shen was murdered by some people from the previous dynasty. What a pity!

The soldiers' faces were grim. Pei Yong nodded and said, "I respect General Qin Shan, but I also respect General Shen. It's a pity that such a hero's life was cut short!"

These people quickly arrived at the entrance of Black Wind Stronghold, where they heard someone shout, "Tell your stronghold chief to get out here! Tell him the Great Xia army has arrived, and if he comes out late, he'll be dead!"

All I could see were crossbows and bows, gleaming coldly.

Pei Yong roared, "Who gave you permission to use crossbows? Put them away right now, or I'll chop you all up!"
