Super Chief

Chapter 148: Strong bow

   Ishikuma grabbed the arrow's tail and pulled it hard, and the arrow made of all-body stainless steel was pulled out, and a puff of bright blood spurted out as the arrow was pulled out.

   The stone bear who had prepared for a long time only took a step outward, avoiding the blood spurting from the neck of this poor North American ibex.

   This is the third day when Stone Bear entered the wilderness. He saw a group of wild goats on a dead tree about ten meters high, so he shot one without hesitation.

   Two days ago, Stone Bear single-handedly crossed the Little River and entered the wilderness to the west of the Gaoshu Tribe.

  He rode a war horse, which was formerly the mount of Major Armand, but after Armand was captured, this majestic war horse became the mount of the stone bear.

   Now Major Armand and Captain Constantine are leading a group of captured French soldiers digging down the salt mountain.

   This group of captives will not be raised for nothing in the tribe, so the necessary labor reform is still necessary. It’s just that it’s cold now and it’s impossible to continue to open up wasteland, so these prisoners were sent to Xiaoyan Mountain, where salt was excavated on the other side of Xiaoyan Mountain.

In the process of salt making, the heaviest physical activity is to dig rock salt down from the mountain. In the past, this kind of work was done by strong people. Now there are more than 50 free French laborers. This kind of work is natural. It's up to them to do it.

  Of course, around these prisoners are more than thirty tribal warriors holding bows and arrows and carrying ammunition and muskets.

   These French people are responsible for digging rock salt, and the tribesmen make salt on the other side of the salt mountain. There is this small salt mountain in the middle, so there is no need to worry that these French people learn how to make salt.

   These French people are also honest, relying on their own labor in exchange for rations every day.

   Poor Major Armand was also on the list of labor reform, and his horses were naturally enjoyed by the stone bears.

When    Shixiong set out, he was carrying a large and exaggerated bow on his back. This bow was specially built for the guardian, and it was even larger than the longbow used by English longbowmen.

   The most important thing is that the body of this bow is made of steel plate, and four tendons twisted together serve as bowstrings.

   There is no way, the pulling force of this bow is too great. One or two tendons cannot withstand the pulling force of opening this bow. In the end, four tendons are twisted together to achieve the pulling force requirement to fully open this bow.

  The strength of the stone bear is too great, he dare not open the bow made of wood in the tribe, because once he opens the bow, if he has a little more strength, the bow will be pulled directly...

   In desperation, Shi Xiong built such a steel bow for himself. For this reason, when Ferguson and the others made a small-scale steelmaking to build a barrel, Shixiong also opened a small stove for himself, made a pot of molten steel with a cauldron, and finally built such a strong bow.

   But this bow is made, and the arrows are hard to find. The wood-made arrows used by the tribal warriors cannot be used on this bow at all. Without him, the arrows are too light, and the bow strength of this bow is too great.

   Don’t say the bow is opened to the maximum, even if it is opened to two-thirds, the arrow shot will lose its accuracy because the bow is too strong.

  Bows and arrows must be matched. Small bows can’t shoot big arrows. Similarly, large bows can’t shoot small arrows. Only when the bow and arrow fit together perfectly, the arrow shot will be the most powerful and accurate.

   So Shi Xiong created another twenty special arrows for himself.

   These twenty arrows are all made of stainless steel. The little finger is thick and thin, and the length is close to one and a half meters. Such an arrow weighs about five kilograms.

   The arrow of the arrow is a triangular pyramid with a length of six centimeters. If this thing is shot on a person, it can directly penetrate a person.

   This powerful bow is equipped with such an all-steel arrow. Ishikuma has tested it, and the farthest range can reach more than 400 meters. This distance is much longer than the range of the God Arm Crossbow of the Chinese Song Dynasty.

   At a distance of 200 meters, the arrow shot can penetrate a three-centimeter-thick wooden board.

   The people who saw this bow were amazed at the power and range of this powerful bow, but they were only envious, because they didn't have the strength to start work, let alone pull this bow full.

   If you want to pull this bow to the full, the fault is that Shi Xiong, a talented and infinitely powerful guy, can do it. According to Shi Xiong's estimation, to fully open this bow, his arms really need a lot of strength! In the ancient times of China, this is at least a seven-stone bow or even a strong bow of the nine-stone bow!

   This bow is the biggest support for the stone bear to enter the wilderness.

   In addition to this bow, Shi Xiong also took possession of the hand guns of Major Armand and Captain Constantine. Although the handguns of this era are far from comparable to the revolvers a hundred years later, they are still very powerful at close range.

   The strong bow is a long-range attack, the steel spear is a medium- and close-range attack, and the hand gun and throwing axe are used for close-range defense.

   With these four weapons ~lightnovelpub.net~ plus the power of the horse and the stone bear under the crotch, this wilderness is a great place to go. Even if you encounter a large number of enemies, you can still run if you can't beat them.

   With weapons and tents and other things, the stone bear crossed the Little River to the west, and then began to head west along these folds of mountains between the Cumberland Plateau in the north and the Great Smoky Mountains in the south.

  It is rare to see herbivores in groups in the wilderness in winter. Even the common bison is rare in this freezing winter.

   For two days, Shi Xiong didn't catch any good prey. If he hadn't stayed with some tortillas when he went out, he would be hungry now.

   As a result, early in the morning of the third day, Shi Xiong found such a strange scene by a small river.

   More than a dozen wild goats with long hairs climbed onto a dead tree. Stone bear knows that North American wild goats have excellent climbing ability, but they can climb mountains very well, and they can even climb cliffs of more than 70 degrees. Stone bears have never seen wild goats that can climb trees. (PS: Ibex can climb trees. This is not the old-fashioned nonsense. You can save the ibex, and you will find that the magical animal, the ibex, can really climb trees. Ghost knows. Why do these wild goats climb trees to play...)

   Two hundred meters away, Shi Xiong drew that strong bow. At this distance, Shi Xiong had confidence to hit a target as big as a wild goat.

   Under the huge thrust of the strong bow, the dark arrow made a slightly curved bend in the air, and in the next moment it accurately plunged into the neck of a wild goat.

   The wild goats on the tree were so scared that they scattered. Shi Xiong rode his horse to the tree and saw the wild goat that he had shot with an arrow.
