Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 184 The Power of the Divine Arm Crossbow
There is a saying among hunters called "one pig and two tigers", but this does not mean that wild boars are stronger than tigers, but that when hunters hunt, they often encounter more wild boars than tigers, so Naturally, the number of times wild boars hurt people is higher than that of tigers.

But when it comes to danger, wild boars can't compare with tigers, so after hearing that Gao Ming asked him to fight tigers, Li Yin was stunned.

"Brother...Brother, are you joking?"

Seeing his terrified look, Gao Ming was also dumbfounded.

"You mean, don't you mean that there are really tigers in Nanshan?"

Li Yin didn't answer, but nodded vigorously. Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately patted himself on the head.

"Damn, if I know there is a tiger killing me, I won't come, why are you still standing there, close the door quickly, don't leave anyone standing guard outside the door, come to the yard, be careful that you will be caught by the tiger later go."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Yin immediately laughed.

"Hey, brother, don't worry. Although there are tigers in Nanshan, they are all hiding in the mountains. Even if they come out, they will not leave the forest. Don't worry."

As soon as Li Yin finished speaking, Gao Ming gave him a blank look.

"Oh, if that's the case, are you alone at night watching outside the yard?"

"Uh……"

As soon as he heard that he was going to guard the goal, Li Yin immediately withered.

"Brother, are you hungry? I'm going to wash the rabbit right now."

After finishing speaking, Li Yin shrank his head immediately, and then ran away with the rabbit in his hand. Seeing his running back, Gao Ming couldn't help shaking his head immediately, and then continued to warm up.

Soon, the cook came out with a pot of rabbit meat, and Li Yin came over with a flattering face holding a jar of wine.

"Hey, big brother, drink something?"

Seeing his flattering expression, Gao Ming couldn't bear to refuse him, so he nodded immediately.

"Okay, let's drink!"

Seeing that Gao Ming agreed, Li Yin quickly took out a small bowl and poured a bowl for Gao Ming, and then poured another bowl for himself.

"Hey, big brother, I actually wanted to drink with you a long time ago, but I never had the chance. Come on, big brother, I respect you!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yin toasted Gao Ming with a small bowl in both hands. Seeing his excited face, Gao Ming nodded with a smile, and then also took the small bowl.

"My brothers are welcome, come, drink!"

"drink!"

Maybe it was because he was finally able to come out once, and Li Yin was in a particularly good mood. He drank one bowl after another, and soon he got himself drunk.

Gao Ming was holding a piece of rabbit meat and chewing it in his mouth, when he suddenly heard a "plop", and looked back, it turned out that Li Yin was lying on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming shook his head helplessly, and then called two hundred knight guards over.

"You two carry him into the house for me."

"Yes!"

After Li Yin was helped back, Gao Ming himself went back to the house to rest.

Gao Ming was a little reluctant to sleep, so he couldn't fall asleep for a while. When he was lying on the bed, he suddenly thought of Su Wan'er, Shi Shu and Shi Jian, and also Wu Mei. Several women appeared one after another. in his head.

"It seems that I have been corrupted by this evil feudal society. I can't sleep without a woman. Damn, I don't believe in evil anymore. I count sheep, one sheep, two sheep, three sheep, four Goat, Pleasant Goat, Beautiful Goat, Big Big Wolf..."

After counting, Gao Ming fell asleep in a daze.

Just when Gao Ming was sleeping soundly, he was awakened from his sleep by the sound of "Brother, help me". When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already the next morning.

The sun shone in from outside the door and shone on Li Yin's body. At this time, this guy was lying on the ground with a sad face, and Ben Ben was holding half of his head with his mouth open.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming immediately shook his head helplessly.

"I said Sixth, you didn't like it when I asked you to kill two tigers for me last night. You are running towards my family with your feelings. Why are you so cruel? It's still a child!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Yin became even more sad.

"Brother, I'm here to ask you to have breakfast, and don't you think it's more cruel than me... Ouch, little ancestor, please be gentle, you have bitten my skin, brother, help me! "

"..."

Looking at Li Yin who was howling and crying, Gao Ming realized that it was impossible to get back to sleep, so he got out of bed, yawned and walked out the door.

"Oh...Benben is gone, go to radio gymnastics with daddy and me!"

"Ouch..."

Hearing Gao Ming calling him, Ben Ben immediately let go of Li Yin's head, then followed Gao Ming out with his tail flicking.

When Gao Ming went out with Benben, Li Yin stood up with lingering fear, and a trace of regret flashed across his face.

At this time, Li Yin really regretted it. He regretted not listening to Gao Ming and giving Li Mingda a kitten and puppy, but a tiger. How long has it been?The original "little hairball" can cover half of his head.

"I'm so self-inflicted!"

Thinking of this, Li Yin immediately slapped himself in the face.

After slapping himself, Li Yin touched his wet head again, and went back to wash his hair with a tangled expression.

Gao Ming didn't pay attention to Li Yin. After finishing a set of radio gymnastics, he summoned all the fifty or so hundred cavalry guards he brought.

Gao Ming still remembered the bet he made with Li Yin yesterday. Since Li Yin had brought back two rabbits, he had to make a crossbow capable of shooting three hundred paces.

"Which of you can make a crossbow?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, a dozen or so people stood up immediately. Seeing this scene, Gao Ming was startled.

"There are so many people who know how to make crossbows?"

However, Gao Ming quickly realized that the predecessor of Baiqiwei was a dead warrior. For a dead warrior, making some killing equipment is a basic skill.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming nodded immediately.

"Well, since all ten of you know how to make crossbows, then I will give you a task. I need a crossbow. The length of the crossbow is three feet three, and the string length is two feet five. Which one of you can do it?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, a hundred cavalry guards stood up immediately, and then cupped their hands towards Gao Ming.

"His Royal Highness is talking about the Fuyuan crossbow? This subordinate can make it."

The Fuyuan crossbow is the standard bed crossbow of the Tang Dynasty, which is usually used in wars, but Gao Ming didn't want this, so he immediately shook his head.

"No, no, no, I asked you to make crossbows for hunting, not for fighting. Well, I will draw a rough structure first, and then you will think about it together."

As he said that, Gao Ming took out a branch and drew it on the ground. After the painting was finished, Gao Ming smiled at the hundreds of knights beside him.

"Look, this is the crossbow I want. The length of the crossbow is three feet three, and the string length is two feet five. It should be about [-] steps, you all do it, and whoever does the best will be rewarded by the Crown Prince!"

"Yes!"

The kind of crossbow that Gao Ming asked them to make was not his scribbles, but had a lot of background. This kind of crossbow is the famous God Arm Crossbow.

The god arm crossbow was born in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is the pinnacle of crossbows in the history of our country. The effective range can reach up to 340 steps, which is 370 meters. It is said that it is the standard weapon of the Song army.

However, Gao Ming didn't ask them to make a crossbow with such a range. After all, physical strength must also be considered. Otherwise, if someone else made it, but he couldn't pull it, it would be too shameful.

As the saying goes, "Under a heavy reward, there must be a brave man." Following Gao Ming's order, a dozen hundred cavalry guards who can make crossbows immediately started to act. By noon, more than a dozen people had basically completed the crossbow. , and put it in front of Gao Ming.

From the appearance, the shapes of these ten crossbows are exactly the same as the god arm crossbow that Gao Ming drew on the ground just now. More importantly, the shapes of these ten crossbows are almost the same.

Seeing this scene, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing immediately.

"Could it be the same person who taught you how to make a crossbow?"

Originally Gao Ming was just asking by the way, but unexpectedly these dozen people really nodded together, and one of them immediately stood up and bowed to Gao Ming.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, this is what Mr. Zhang taught us."

It really is!
Thinking of this, Gao Ming laughed again.

"I didn't expect Zhang Sizheng to have such a skill."

While smiling, Gao Ming picked up a crossbow stick on the ground, stepped on the pedal of the crossbow head with his foot, and then grabbed the bowstring with both hands and pulled it hard!
"drink!"

With his loud shout, he immediately pulled the bowstring to the bow of the god arm crossbow. At this moment, a hundred knight guard standing next to him immediately sent a crossbow arrow. Gao Ming grabbed the crossbow arrow and filled it into the crossbow groove. Then aim the end of the crossbow at a target a hundred steps away from the door, and click the trigger!
"Boom!"

With the sound of a crossbow string trembling, the crossbow arrow flew out immediately, and then flew over the target and into the dense forest ahead.

Missed the target!
Seeing this scene, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Gao Ming's face.

"Cough...this..."

Before Gao Ming could finish speaking, a hundred cavalry guards next to him yelled.

"His Royal Highness thinks the target is too close, so he chose a tree in the forest. Come, come, follow me to get the arrow back."

After finishing speaking, he immediately threw off his feet and ran towards the woods. After a while, he came to Gao Ming with crossbow arrows in both hands, and then bowed to Gao Ming.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness, you hit a ginkgo tree 270 five steps away with one arrow, penetrating four inches into the tree!"

Hearing his words, the dozens of hundred cavalry guards all around gasped in unison.

"hiss……"

Being able to penetrate four inches into a wood within 270 steps means that it can penetrate heavy armor within [-] steps, which is already the power of a bed crossbow.

In fact, it wasn't just these Hundred Knights who were surprised, even Gao Ming himself was shocked.

"My dear, this power is too powerful, if you are shot by this thing at close range, I am afraid it will not be much better than being shot by a pistol?"
