479: Chapter 479 Zhao Fusu's Immature Ideas

When shooting at long range, this advantage of the crossbow is particularly evident. In contrast, when drawing a bow, the shooter's arms will tremble due to the exertion, thereby affecting the accuracy of the shot.

The crossbow, however, can rely on its stable firing mechanism to maintain a high hit rate even at longer distances, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy.

Furthermore, the lethality of the crossbow cannot be underestimated.

By using foot power to cock the bow, greater energy can be stored, giving the crossbow bolt powerful penetrating force when fired.

Whether it is enemy infantry, cavalry, or heavily armored warriors, the crossbow bolt can rely on its formidable power to break through defenses and inflict severe damage on the enemy.

On the battlefield, this immense lethality can often deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale and disrupt their combat deployments.

In addition, the crossbow also possesses strong tactical flexibility.

Because it can be cocked and charged in advance, crossbowmen can be fully prepared before battle and launch attacks at any time according to the battlefield situation.

When defending, crossbowmen can hide behind cover, wait for the enemy to approach to an appropriate distance, and suddenly launch an attack to strike the enemy by surprise; when attacking, crossbowmen can cooperate with other troop types to form an attack system that combines long-range and close-quarters combat, enhancing the overall combat effectiveness of the troops.

Moreover, the crossbow can be used in different terrains and environments; whether in mountains, jungles, or plains, it can play its intended role.

In summary, thanks to its many advantages such as ease of operation, high precision, strong lethality, and tactical flexibility, the crossbow has become a terrifying weapon on the battlefield, winning huge advantages for its users in combat.

In modern society, bows and arrows are not banned, but crossbows and launchers with energy storage devices are restricted for this very reason.

For Zhao Fusu, within the borders of Great Qin, he would not allow other factions to possess powerful crossbows—weapons with such immense lethality that could also store energy.

However, if they were to go abroad to expand living space for Huaxia, he would welcome it with both hands.

If their Huaxia race wants to remain prosperous for a long time, they need to go out.

During times of prosperity, expand living space as much as possible.

When the future period of decline arrives, they will have a solid foundation to survive the decline and welcome a new period of prosperity.

Just like after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russia that succeeded it still possesses a vast territory of over 17 million square kilometers, remaining the country with the largest land area in the world.

Therefore, Zhao Fusu hoped to go out and expand living space for Huaxia.

According to news from the National Security Bureau, he learned that the Sage of Strategy Zhang Liang had taken the remnants of the Mohist school to the northern desert.

Zhao Fusu had no intention of sending anyone to assassinate the Sage of Strategy Zhang Liang.

On the contrary, he wanted the Sage of Strategy Zhang Liang to live well.

He was very clear in his heart that the Xiongnu people in the northern desert would eventually be defeated by him and driven to the west.

After the Xiongnu people migrated west, they brought huge trouble to the West.

The Xiongnu people were known by Westerners as the Scourge of God; one can imagine how miserably the Westerners were bullied by the Xiongnu people.

If Zhao Fusu were to pair these westward-migrating Xiongnu people with Zhang Liang, who was known as the Sage of Strategy, heaven knows what kind of turmoil the combination of the brave and resourceful Xiongnu people and Zhang Liang would cause in the West.

Zhao Fusu had an immature idea.

The psychological profile of Zhang Liang depicted him as a person with a firm will, swearing to avenge his family.

After he established a foothold in the West, he would likely bring people from the West to attack Great Qin.

So the question arises...
