"Haha, a general's success is built on the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers. It's so difficult to be a general! Just forget about it, our great General Zhao!"
Tang Yanhai patted Zhao Muyun on the shoulder again, turned and left.
"Brother Zhao, I believe you can become a general!"
Wang Tiezhu, who had been silent nearby, spoke up.
"When I become a general, I will definitely make you a lieutenant!"
Looking at Wang Tiezhu's sincere face, Zhao Muyun smiled, left the beacon tower and walked towards the woodshed.
In a corner of the woodshed that no one knows about, there is a long-range weapon that is almost completed.
It was a crossbow similar to the principle of a modern compound bow.
Zhao Muyun used three retired recurve bows from the beacon tower to piece together and modify the bow. The overall structure has been completed, but the elastic rubber band is still missing.
Just as he killed three Northern Di Tartars and stripped off their cowhide armor, he found two pieces of beef tendons as thick as chopsticks.
Zhao Muyun handed over the leather armor to Zhang Biao, but kept the beef tendon, which was just right for using on the compound bow!
He closed the door of the woodshed, took out the tendon and compound bow, and concentrated on completing the last critical step.
"Perfect!"
Half an hour later, the compound bow was completed.
Zhao Muyun found a feather arrow and tried it on the firewood pile. Although it could not reach the range and power of the compound bows of later generations, it was much stronger than the standard bows and arrows commonly used in the Dayin army!
If you pull it out with all your strength, you can easily get an effective and accurate range of 300 steps.
Zhao Muyun is very satisfied with being able to achieve such a level under the current conditions.
The compound bow and the triangular spike gave him a powerful weapon for both long-range and close combat.
Zhao Muyun hummed a little tune: The sun sets in the west, and the red clouds fly...
Sudden!
Boom boom boom!
The sheepskin drum on the beacon tower sounded violently!
"Alert! The Tartars are coming!"
