It is said that the range of Qin crossbow is twice that of Ak. Is it true?/You don't say.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Seven Chivalrous Men competed for hegemony. The best weapon at that time was the crossbow. We can also find many crossbows at the excavation site of the terracotta warriors and horses, a miracle of the world. Recently, archaeologists were surprised to find a well-preserved crossbow, especially this one? Hey? Our discovery satisfied our curiosity about this matter. After all,? Hey? I've only seen it in history books, and now I finally see the real thing.

According to historical records, there were many kinds of crossbows in the Warring States period. If you bow, you can divide them into three types:

Stretching means that you need both hands and feet to pull the bowstring;

Waist pull, that is, the waist, hands and feet pull the bowstring together: the body needs to lie flat on the ground, the crossbow should also be flat, the ankles should be opened, and the hook string should be hung on the waist;

Lifting means that you need hand strength and arm strength to pull the bowstring together.

So, how far can the ancient crossbow launch?

Former curator of the Terracotta Warriors Museum, right? Father of Qin Terracotta Warriors? Mr. Yuan told us that the maximum range of these strong crossbows can even reach 700 meters, while the range of weak crossbows is about 100 meters. Yolanda explained to us the difference between a strong crossbow and a weak crossbow: it mainly depends on the hardness of the bow back. The greater the hardness of the bow back, the farther the range, so it belongs to a strong crossbow.

At that time, Qin's strong crossbow did not have much advantage. After all, that was the technology at that time. The crossbows of all countries are similar, and the victory of Qin depends on the combat ability of soldiers. However, experts are still very confident about the strong crossbow, because the range of the strong crossbow is about 800 meters, and the effective range of the current gun AK47 is only about 400 meters, which is half of that of the strong crossbow.

Actually, this is not right. We can't compare the maximum range of a strong crossbow with the effective range of a gun. Besides, the AK47 doesn't have a range of 400 meters.

The range of ancient strong crossbows is not equal to the effective killing distance. Maximum range, effective range and precise range are all different and cannot be confused. At that time, although the strong crossbow could be launched hundreds of meters away, it could not be said that it could knock down the enemy hundreds of meters away.

Bow crossbow? Crossbow? Word, that is? Angry? It means to be angry and start. In order to increase the range of the crossbow, it is necessary not only to increase the launching intensity of the crossbow, but also to change the material and manufacturing technology of the crossbow. The tension of crossbows used by the army is generally around 150 kg, while the arrows shot are only two yuan. Within 50 paces, the bow and arrow is powerful and accurate, but beyond this distance, the accuracy will be reduced, the strength will not be good, and it will not be able to penetrate the armor and cause substantial damage to the enemy.

Therefore, the ancients had a cloud, a spent force, and could not wear armor.

However, bows and arrows are different. Even an ordinary bow with a tension of 40 Jin, that is, a weak bow that ordinary people can pull open, can shoot an arrow weighing five dollars, and it is still powerful within a hundred paces.

Then, how can there be such a big difference between bows and arrows and strong crossbows?

The bow and arrow is three feet three inches long and placed on the bowstring, which is one foot eight inches long, except for the five inches on the back of the bow. It's hard to fill it. In addition, the archer is skilled in using it, and it is no problem to hit the enemy within 100 step. The crossbow is different. The string on the crossbow is only five inches away from the bow, and the arrow shot is only five inches strong, and the crossbow can't bend like a bow and arrow to increase the launching power of the bow and arrow.

Therefore, although the crossbow is very big, it can't shoot too far, causing substantial damage to the enemy. However, although the bow and arrow are small and heavy, they can hit distant enemies. In the Qin dynasty, one step was six feet, and now one foot is 0.438+0 meters. According to this algorithm, one step is 1.38 meters, while the range of ordinary medium crossbows is 70 meters. If it's a strong crossbow, it's even further.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yang, the general of Chu State, was a famous sharpshooter in ancient China. He can shoot through willow leaves from a hundred paces away as a mark, and once he shot through seven layers of armor with one arrow. Warring States policy? It is recorded in the policy of the Western Zhou Dynasty: There is Yang in Chu State, who is good at shooting. He shot at the willow leaves with a hundred paces and hit the target with a hundred shots. ? It all started here. This man's number? Raise an arrow? One arrow is enough to win.

The crossbowman is better trained than the archer, but the range is not as good as the bow and arrow.

Although bows and arrows are more effective, it is difficult to train a qualified archer. As the ancients said, many people practice bow and arrow, but few people are proficient in this skill, which also shows that this skill is difficult to practice. It is very difficult for a soldier to become an archer who can pull a strong bow with a weight of 100 kg, can accurately shoot through armor within 100 steps, and can complete the above actions on horseback. Such people are also one in ten thousand.

Relatively speaking, crossbowmen are easy to train. Even people with poor IQ and understanding can master the use of crossbows skillfully. They just need to get up in the morning to train and learn almost anything at night, even if the weather is bad. Although crossbows are not as good as bows and arrows when shooting at a long distance, they are very accurate when shooting at close range.

A crossbow with an arrow can hit the enemy within ten steps, which is much better than a bow and arrow.

Therefore, these two weapons have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the army needs to choose qualified weapons according to operational needs. However, if you need to attack the enemy from a long distance, you really need to train a few decent ones. Archer. Yes

Moreover, according to the South Song Huayue records, there are 36 kinds of bows as the first weapon. Wushu is divided into eighteen bows as the first. Mao of Amin Dynasty also expressed the same view in Wu Bei Zhi. The gazebo was the first device. So those who say martial arts, say bow and arrow first. ?

Early bows were rough in workmanship. String wood is used as a bow for archery, and wood is used to support arrows. Then, find a piece of wood and tie it to the bowstring. Arrows are mostly made of stone, bone, bronze and other materials. Bow and arrow is the best weapon to deal with nomadic cavalry, which can strike opponents from a long distance, making them unable to get close and making them unable to give full play to the advantages of cavalry.

However, as the northern cavalry began to use advanced bows and arrows and steel cymbals, the archers in the Central Plains gradually became no match for them, so that it was always difficult for the Central Plains region to resist the attack of the northern cavalry.
