"Perhaps it's time for the strong crossbow to appear in this era!!”
After torturing Pompeii, Ye Tian returned home and calmed himself down, muttering to himself.
After the system upgrade, more things were opened in the mall.
However, they were all weapon-type blueprints and forging methods, and they were all lethal weapons from ancient Huaxia.
For example, the extremely sharp Tang sword, the extremely lethal Mo sword, and all kinds of long-range, powerful, and easy-to-use bows.
The Tang sword was not only sharp, but its most terrifying ability was its armor-piercing ability. Their appearance was simply born to kill.
Of course, the Mo Sword was also a type of Tang Sword. That was the true killing weapon!
Mo knife, is a long knife, used by infantry, probably ancient horse cutting knife, knife weight 15 jin, also known as machete, seven feet long, blade three feet long, handle four feet long, with iron drill below. the cavalry and infantry are all available by water. Gao Lishi held it in his hand and used his waist strength to turn it into powder.
Because the Mo Saber was too powerful, it was perhaps regarded as an ominous weapon. Therefore, the Mo Saber was not allowed to be buried with it. Therefore, no actual Mo Saber was unearthed in the future. All the restored images of the Mo Saber on the Internet were conjectures of later generations.
Thinking about it, if such a terrifying weapon was equipped by the Spartan warriors and replaced the spears, it would be absolutely invincible and unstoppable.
Of course, there were even more terrifying killing weapons!
That was a strong crossbow!
In this era, Ye Tian realized that ancient Rome and even ancient Greece didn't pay much attention to bows and arrows.
Almost all of the ancient Greek army's weapons and equipment were very simple. Basically, they all wore helmets with cockscomb-shaped crowns, breastplates, leg armor, short swords, bronze wooden shields in their left hands, and spears in their right hands.
Moreover, this was the standard equipment of the most regular heavy-armored infantrymen: shield, spear, short sword, plus armor and helmet.
It was the same in ancient Rome, and their bows were very simple. They were curved bows made from the roots of two goat horns glued together. Their range was short and their power was limited.
In addition, the ancient Roman army was employed or recruited. There was no regular army, and the training time was very short. Therefore, their army did not have a specialized archer unit.
Especially after Marius's military reform of Rome, the Roman army, other than the reserve soldiers, the Roman heavy infantry used javelins. There were no long weapons, and there were no archers. They relied entirely on their neat formation to approach the enemy. In close combat, they relied on their short swords to win, so they had to use large shields to protect themselves.
How powerful were the ancient Huaxia crossbows?
The Zhuge Repeating Crossbow was a weapon invented by Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of the State of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. It could fire ten arrows at a time. It was very powerful and effective.
Pei Song of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in the Wei's Spring and Autumn Annals: "It is also known as the Reversal Crossbow, known as the Yuanrong Crossbow. It uses iron as the missing part, and the missing part is eight inches long.”
The Zhuge Crossbow was later lost, but the system had detailed blueprints and methods to make it. It required 800 exchange coupons.
The God Arm Crossbow, also known as the " God Arm Bow ", was a single soldier crossbow invented during the Song Dynasty. The bow was three feet and three inches long, with a chord length of two feet and five inches. Its range was up to three hundred meters, and the arrow could shoot into half a pole of elm wood. One could see how powerful it was. It was a long-range weapon used by the Song Dynasty to fight against the Liao, Xixia, and Jin Dynasties.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, the master archer He Guan used his divine arm bow to shoot at the Xixia people. He once shot through two armored soldiers with one arrow.
It could be seen how terrifying the power of the God Arm Crossbow was. Moreover, this kind of strong crossbow was not shooting arrows. It was basically a spear. It could shoot through ancient city walls and allow soldiers to climb. It was also a terrifying divine weapon.
The exchange for the Divine Arm Crossbow blueprints was a little expensive. It cost 5,000 yuan.
There was also a crossbow, which was the real destructive weapon!
Those were the repeating ballistae, or perhaps they could already be called cannons! This was the most powerful long-range weapon that appeared during the Warring States Period. It was a multi-shot ballista.
This kind of crossbow was installed on the ancient war chariot and was pulled by two horses. It was flexible and could be fired while moving. This kind of crossbow could fire seven bolts at a time. The bolts were ten feet long and as thick as goose eggs. The arrow in the middle was the longest, and the three arrows on each side were slightly smaller.
The range of the repeating ballistae could reach up to 700 meters. Wherever the arrows went, houses would collapse. Even ancient houses were made of straw, so such power was shocking.
There was no doubt that the blueprint for this crossbow was very expensive!
He needed 15,000 exchange coupons!
But one thing was for sure: if Ye Tian created such a terrifying weapon and placed dozens of them at home, controlled by the giants, even an army of Roman soldiers wouldn't be able to take them down.
Giants were the most suitable to operate such ballistae!
Of course, there were other ballistae, but they weren't as classic as the three above.
Looking at the introduction of the various crossbows in the System Store, Ye Tian's eyes burned with envy. In the end, he could only sigh and spend eight hundred yuan to exchange for the forging blueprint of the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow.
After crossing off 800 points, Ye Tian's Exchange Points were almost empty, which was why he sighed.
However, it was enough to have the Zhuge Interlocking Crossbows now. After they were made, they would let the Spartan warriors familiarize themselves with them and finally equip them all.
When the Mo Blade was equipped with the Zhuge Consecutive Crossbow, the Spartan warriors were the true warriors of the God of War. They would kill anyone who stood in their way.
Unfortunately, there were too few Spartan slave warriors.
"I'll have to ask Madam Qin Na and Yulia for some when I can!”
Ye Tian's lips curled into a smile. He would be a bastard if he didn't take advantage.
If he had 100 Spartan slave warriors, he would be able to shout even more.
"Angela, Diana, come with me to the slave market. Oh right, call Phoebe along!”
Putting away the blueprint for the Zhuge Consecutive Crossbow, Ye Tian went to find Diana and Angela.
He needed some craftsman slaves, and then he didn't need to do anything else. He just needed to make the chained crossbows for him.
This was the advantage of being a slave. If they were locked up, there was no need to worry about them leaking secrets.
Moreover, Ye Tian was confident that if he gave them good food and sleep, their loyalty would grow.
"Yes, honorable master!"
The two ladies arrived respectfully. Then, Diana called the female giant over.
"Greetings, honorable master…"
The female giant's speech was getting more and more fluent, and she walked up to Ye Tian, placing her right hand on her abdomen and bowing slightly.
