Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 236 What is he supposed to be, a god arm bow? (first update)
There was a dead silence in the hall, and everyone silently looked at this short, fat man in green robe who talked too much nonsense.

If his father wasn't Cai Jing, the treacherous prime minister of the Song Dynasty, he would have been kicked away by a big toe long ago.

But the problem is precisely because his father is Cai Jing, among the courtiers and workers, there are countless party members and minions.

"...Hmm, okay, little Caiqing's family, and little Tongqing's family are all young talents in the imperial court. You two are also very good."

The official Zhao Ji controlled the corner of his mouth that was almost crooked, and showed a kind smile to express his appreciation to these two fellows.

Only then did he slowly come around, and took the bow from Tong Zhisheng's hand that he had tried shooting before.

Carefully looking at this excellent military bow that looks similar to a shoulder pole, but is extremely high in quality and low in price.

Then, very hypocritically, he began to ask Gao Zhang what are the characteristics of this bow.

Then he pretended to be hearing it for the first time, nodded frequently, and showed an exaggerated and surprised expression from time to time.

It can be said that today, the official of the Great Song Dynasty is doing his best to perform in order to praise his beloved disciple.

Wu Zhizhong looked at the situation in the palace with some toothache, and always felt that the performance of the officials seemed a little too much.

Chen Shilang beside him also muttered in a low voice. "Shang Shu, I feel that the official's acting is a bit fake."

"..." Wu Zhizhong hastily glanced at Chen Shilang covertly, nonsense, don't you understand when you're an old man?

But the problem is that if you know it, you know it, and it would be bad to expose it, but Wu Zhizhong couldn't help but exchanged a few words in a low voice.

"From this point of view, I'm afraid that Xiao Gao's contribution to this strangely shaped longbow must have its own merits."

"Otherwise, the officials don't have to take such painstaking efforts. It seems that after the 30 standard hand knives, the next step is to use this bow and crossbow to perform the knife."

"But this bow is obviously just longer and weirder in appearance. Is it possible that it can be compared to the well-made military bows made by the court workshop?"

Just as Chen Shilang finished muttering this, he noticed Wu Shangshu's eyes around him, and just looked at him silently without speaking.

After reacting, Chen Shilang couldn't help but blush, um...it is indeed too flattering to say that the court workshop makes a well-made compound bow.

After all, Taiwei Gao and other officials of the Ministry of War had protested at the court before, saying that the quality of bows and crossbows made by those court workshops was too low.

However, the arms of the bow are too weak, that is, the strength of the crossbow is not enough, it is not enough to break the armor within the effective range, and it is even difficult to kill the armorless.

"Hehe..." Wu Zhizhong didn't make things difficult for his old friend, but raised his chin and gestured forward.

At this time, Zhao Ji, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, who had almost heard it, said yes repeatedly with a happy face.

"I also know how to shoot. Since I have such a good bow, I will try it for myself today. In addition, Gao Qing, you should immediately tell those who are good at archery in the Imperial Army to come quickly."

"It's better for all of you to come together and see how the good bow invented by Xiao Gao Aiqing is."

Gao Li strode out of the crowd, bowed to the official, turned around and walked outside the hall, those marksmen who were good at shooting from the Imperial Army.

I have been waiting for a long time, just to give my beloved son Gao Zhang a good face today in front of all the monarchs and ministers.

#####
A group of officials looked at each other in blank dismay, but the officials had already made strides, how could they lag behind, and rushed to the outside of the hall surrounded by the official who was copying the bow.

But at this moment, at the place about thirty steps away from the steps of the Chui Gong Hall, an arrow stack has already been erected.

Everyone looked at the talented and stupid gentleman standing on the steps and took a closer look at the arrow stack, and seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Why are they erected so close to each other? Could it be that I can't even shoot arrow stacks within fifty paces?"

"..." Facing the words of this talented and foolish gentleman, what else could the Yuqian Banzhi, who was originally trying to take care of the official's face and fear that the official would miss the target, say?

After I had no choice but to promise loudly, I started to move back a bit.

"..." Zhao Ji, the official, could swear to the sky that this group of imperial squadrons were simply fooling around, and they moved back ten steps at most.

Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue too much with them, anyway, fifty steps, forty steps, almost too much, is better than thirty steps.

Then a group of people saw that the official began to cheer up, put on the jade finger and tried the bow, and then took a feather arrow from the hand of Yuqian Banzhi beside him.

Raising the arrow and drawing the bow, he took aim at the arrow stack located forty steps away, and then a string sounded.

Everyone saw the arrow stack tremble, and then the imperial squad standing not far from the arrow stack roared excitedly.

Cai Jing and other ministers and workers would not let go of this opportunity to flatter and flatter horses, and all praised the officials for their both civil and military skills, and their skill in bowing horses.

As for Gao Zhang, he stared blankly at the official, with a shocked expression and adoring eyes, his eyes almost sparkling with little stars, greatly benefiting the official.

#####
Following the formation of more than [-] sharpshooters from the Forbidden Army, they came to the steps of the Chuigong Hall, and each of them copied a bow and stood on the right side of the Chuigong Hall.

And on the left side of the Chuigong Hall, there are a large number of people arranging arrow stacks there.

And Gao Zhang, the child prodigy champion, was using his immature and clear voice to explain the situation below to his master Zhao Ji, and at the same time to the court officials present.

Because this kind of bow has been tested before, not only has a long range, but also has extraordinary strength.

Therefore, at the 110th, [-]th, and [-]th steps, the arrow stacks will be wrapped with iron armor.

The three rows of arrow stacks of 120 steps, 140 steps, and 160 steps are half of iron armor and half of leather armor.

As for the 180 steps, the arrow stacks on the [-] steps are leather armor.

Listening to what this little Gao champion said, those who were in charge of managing or supervising military workshops before.

The officials who had a certain understanding of ordnance all looked at this little Gao Zhuangyuan who seemed to be bragging with strange eyes.

"Seventy steps, even if it's all about strong bows and heavy arrows, it's hard to break the armor, okay?"

"According to my military parades since the Song Dynasty in the past, being able to break armor with a strong bow and heavy arrow at fifty steps is the limit."

"He here, unexpectedly 160 steps, must have iron armor, and also put arrow stacks on 210 steps, isn't this a joke?"

"My Great Song Army Bow can cross the air for a hundred steps without falling, and can break through armor with fifty steps. It is already a good bow."

"Even throwing, generally more than 150 steps to 180 steps.

Those who can reach far can take two hundred steps, but that depends on the direction of the wind, and secondly, it has to be a good bow. "

"Hehe, what magical weapon did he think he made? A divine arm bow?"

"Okay everyone, keep your voice down, anyway, you will know in a while whether this thing like a shoulder pole is a good bow or not."

"..."
