Rebirth of the Three Kingdoms: Da Qiao doesn't want to be a widow anymore

Chapter 236 Attacked
Sun Kuang's personal guards immediately drew their swords to cover Sun Kuang's retreat. You Jin and others also surrounded Qiao Wei and Mo Sangongzi in the center and retreated.

Fortunately, Youjin discovered the anomaly in time, and Qiao Wei and others did not step into the enemy's encirclement. They were only within the maximum range of the bow and arrow. Therefore, although the assassins hiding in the mountains and forests were large in number, they had no arrows. Quite a few, Qiao Wei and others retreated in time without any injuries.

The enemies in the forest immediately ordered a chase, so many big men in green jumped out of the forest and chased Qiao Wei and others with swords raised. Qiao Wei saw the large number of people and fled as fast as possible.

Sun Kuang led the way in front. With the experience he had gained in traveling through Dan Mountain over the past few months and the cover of the terrain, he continued to distance himself from the enemy, but these men in blue were no pushovers.

Even though Sun Kuang briefly distanced himself, he was soon caught up again. Qiao Wei fired his sleeve arrows several times and killed several enemies.

After all, Qiao Wei is a woman, and she is inferior to men in terms of speed and physical strength. It is impossible for Sun Kuang and others to leave her alone.

And as time went by, Sun Kuang didn't know which branch he started from. He gradually realized that he might have lost his way. He had already run for so long, but he could not run back to the metallurgical field.

As long as they reach the vicinity of the metallurgical field, there will be nearly a thousand Danyang soldiers and horses stationed, and they can save themselves from danger.

But now...

Sun Kuang was also a little panicked. Apparently they had lost their way.

There might be ferocious beasts hiding deep in the Danshan forest. If we run any further, we don't know what dangers we will encounter.

Qiao Wei also realized something was wrong, "Youkan, how many people are there in the other party?"

Youji made a rough estimate based on the situation just now, "There should be more than a hundred people!"

"Master Mo, how many crossbows do we have in our hands?" Qiao Wei was panting from running and couldn't even speak clearly, but he didn't dare to stop, so he could only stride forward with his legs.

Young Master Mo and several of his guards were carrying boxes on their backs. The boxes contained the newly improved ingenious repeating crossbows, but they had not yet been assembled.

"There are twelve handles, and there are more than twenty arrow boxes equipped."

There are fifty short arrows in a quiver, which means that if you are lucky and this batch of ingenious crossbow test items and quivers can be used, a total of one thousand short arrows can be fired by just over a hundred people. A dozen or so of them can fight.

Although Qiao Wei lived in the Sun family's inner house in the past two years, he had never heard of it in his mind. After studying with Mr. Mo for a long time, he modified this batch of clever repeating crossbow experiments.

In order to solve the problem of too slow manual winding of arrows on the battlefield, Qiao Wei referred to the principle of loading modern pistol bullets and proposed an idea to make the crossbow and arrow case into two parts.

First, one hundred arrows are put into a special quiver in order, and then the quiver is locked on the repeating crossbow with a specific technique. Each time the trigger part is pulled, one arrow can be fired. Just pull the trigger and fire a hundred arrows in succession.

After all the arrows in the quiver are shot, remove the quiver and replace it with another quiver full of arrows.

Through the cooperation and rotation of personnel, the effect of firing hundreds of arrows in succession can be achieved.

Isn't this the ancient version of a "machine gun"?
Of course, after long-term calculations and attempts by Qiao Wei and Mo Sangong, they can only try to make an quiver that can only hold fifty short arrows at most. Otherwise, the weight of the bow and crossbow in hand will exceed expectations, which will make the Hit rate has decreased. But a repeating crossbow that can fire fifty arrows in a row is shocking enough.

The blueprints for the ingenious repeating crossbow parts brought out by Mr. Mo this time were forged and produced by the craftsmen at Danshan Metallurgical Field using the newly refined Baili Steel. In the past three days, Mr. Mo and Qiao Wei took several Mo It was built by our most capable craftsmen. It has only been tested for the first time and has not yet been fully tested.

Now that these enemies appear out of nowhere, let’s try our hand at them!
No matter how simulated the test environment is, it is not as accurate as an actual test.

While the enemy was still some distance away, Sun Kuang ordered the guards to immediately hide in the bushes behind the trees and look after each other in a certain formation. Young Master Mo and others immediately took out the clever repeating crossbow from the box, assembled the arrow box and handed it over. To Qiao Wei, Sun Kuang and others.

Before all the clever repeating crossbows were loaded, the enemy was already approaching.

Sun Kuang gave the order, "Shoot the arrow!"

A few people stood up, pointed at the enemy and pulled the trigger. After running fiercely, their hands were shaking. No one cared about accuracy. They just shot randomly when they saw people, and they didn't know how many people they shot.

Qiao Wei only knew that screams were constantly coming from her ears, and at this time, she could only numbly and mechanically pull the trigger. There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to survive.

She didn't want to die, she hadn't lived enough.

The first quiver was already empty. She immediately squatted down and hid behind a tree. Not daring to have any chance to catch her breath, she immediately removed the quiver and replaced it with the second quiver. Then aim in the direction of the enemy and fire randomly.

Until there was no more sound in the jungle on the opposite side.

There were not many arrows left in Qiao Wei's arrow box, but she still didn't dare to take it lightly. She didn't know how long it had passed. Youji and several personal guards went to check the surroundings repeatedly and came back to tell her that they confirmed that the enemy had already arrived. After more than half of the casualties were killed and there was news that they were safe, Qiao Wei lowered his raised hand.

At this time, Qiao Wei discovered that all his limbs were numb or even stiff. After calming down, he could not stop shaking. His forehead, palms and back were all covered in cold sweat.

She slowly sat down on a rock while holding on to the tree trunk, trying her best to adjust her breathing so that she could regain her strength as soon as possible.

Just because this place is temporarily safe doesn't mean it's really completely safe.

Who were these sneak attacks? What was the purpose of their sneak attacks? How did they discover the whereabouts of their group? Who was behind them? Do they still have a back-up plan for their own group?
These questions slowly emerged in Qiao Wei's mind. If he could not figure out these questions, he, Sun Kuang and others would not be really safe.

Sun Kuang looked at Qiao Wei's appearance and handed over a water bag with concern, "Sister-in-law, can you still leave? We need to leave here as soon as possible."

Qiao Wei nodded, "Yes."

In addition to those who sneak attack, the beasts in the forest are a huge danger.

Many people had died in their brief confrontation just now, and the strong bloody smell would attract ferocious beasts to eat them.

The guards quickly counted the casualties and recovered the short arrows, and then retreated quickly.
