A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"It's all burned!"

There were three completely destroyed crossbows placed in the room. Shen An took a bowl of soup cakes and asked Zhuang Laoshi to carry them to the kitchen and watch them burn.

After eating soup cakes in a hurry, Shen An took the old craftsman and Zhe Kexing to the backyard.

Shen An took the ordinary-looking crossbow, then pulled the string with both hands and pulled it up a short distance. There was a hook there.

The bow string was hung on the hook. Shen An exerted his strength with both hands and stepped on it. It turned out that the hook was connected to the ring of the foot pedal.

Moreover, the bowstring turned out to be a single double strand, which did not move at all, but could still participate in accumulating power.

Zhe Kexing can be considered an expert in playing crossbows. When he saw Shen An struggling to wind the string, an idea was turning in his mind, and he became more and more anxious.

"This is...this can save effort!"

Shen An is just a young man, how can his strength be compared with that of a strong soldier in the army?

He worked hard, but the sergeants didn't work hard.

Shen An turned around and said, "And if the stroke of the bow string is longer, the crossbow arrows will be more powerful and the range will be longer."

Zhe Kexing said excitedly: "This is a new crossbow! This is a new crossbow!"

What is this little kid so excited about?

Shen An blinked, and in front of him was the target that had just been erected.

The outside of the target is covered with armor.

Shen An raised his crossbow and took aim.

"that……"

Seeing that Shen An's hands were shaking and unsteady at all, Zhe Kexing said, "Brother An Bei, how about I do it?"

With a bang, the short crossbow arrow flew out.

call out!

Shen An slowly turned around, his eyes unkind.

"I was already aiming for it, but when you spoke next to me..."

Zhe Kexing felt that he was wronged, so he said: "When I was practicing archery in the past, my brothers at home would make a lot of noise..."

Shen An glanced at him with evil intentions, and Zhe Kexing was agitated. He remembered his uncle's words about Shen An taking care of his own affairs, so he smiled and said, "Brother An Bei is unparalleled in archery... I admire him so much."

Only then did Shen An angrily wind the string again.

But he had never practiced a crossbow, so he still couldn't hold it steady after lifting it.

Madan!

This is too much!

Shen An shouted: "Yao Lian is here."

Yao Lian was guarding the door outside. When he heard the shouting, he ran in with a bang.

This is a secret!

Mr. Lang actually let me get involved without anyone noticing. This kind of respect...

In an instant, Yao Lian decided to sell his life to the Shen family.

"Bend over."

What?

Yao Lian looked at Shen An in confusion.

Shen An raised the crossbow, and Yao Lian realized that he was here to act as a showman.

"Higher, yes, yes, hold still..."

"Bang!"

This time it was very powerful, the crossbow arrow hit the target directly.

Zheke walked over and when he saw that all the crossbow arrows were submerged in the armor, he couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue.

Then the distance was increased to test, and the crossbow arrows continued to penetrate the armor.

"Not enough, too close!"

Shen An raised his head and said with some regret: "It seems that we have to find a spacious place to try."

Zhe Kexing was already a little stunned.

From the current point of view, the power of this crossbow is extraordinary. The key advantage is that it is easy to string.

The group of people left the city happily, then found a remote place, and then started testing.

The crossbow arrows were fired continuously, changing from direct shooting to throwing.

After being ejected, the crossbow arrow carries the effect of inertial gravity, and the armor-piercing effect is even more obvious.

"Two hundred steps!"

This is the latest distance.

Zhe Kexing felt distressed and hung the iron pot he brought from the Shen family on his armor, and then ran away.

This time Shen An used a wooden fork as a shelf.

He aimed with one eye, and the first arrow missed the target.

"Fuck! My eyes are dazzled!"

After the second arrow was shot, someone behind him said, "You can't even see this!"

"Yes! There was a gust of wind just now, and it was blown astray."

Shen An stepped on the pull ring and strung the bow as soon as his hands cooperated.

Loading the crossbow again, Shen An cursed: "If you don't hit it again, I will swim home from the Bianhe River!"

But at a distance of two hundred steps, he felt that he was lucky to win. He was just lucky.

"good!"

"Why do you talk like this!"

Shen An felt that the level of Peng Ke was not even comparable to that of Zhe Kexing. He turned around slowly, and his body trembled when he was halfway through.

Snapped!

"oops!"

Shen An covered his head and took a step back, saying, "Why are you here?"

Bao Zheng glared and said, "If I don't come here, the Song Dynasty's crossbows will be stolen!"

Shen An looked around and saw more than ten cavalrymen standing in the distance, so he asked, "Is there really a spy?"

Bao Zheng said angrily: "The officials found me the day before yesterday and said that you were fooling around, but I know that you never do things without aim. Today you stepped out in front, and I followed behind."

Shen An pointed to the distance and said, "But you actually mobilized the cavalry?"

Bao Zheng is now the censor Zhongcheng, but he does not have this right.

Bao Zheng said angrily: "The Liao and Xixia people have spies in the city. I and the officials have asked for some cavalry, otherwise what do you think!"

The cavalry in the distance suddenly began to rush to the left, and then separated to the left and right to outflank them.

Bao Zheng felt relieved, and then he became interested in looking at the crossbow.

"This is...a crossbow?"

He had seen crossbows, but the one in front of him was somewhat different.

"That's right."

Shen An began to aim again. Bao Zheng squinted at the target and said, "It's so far away!"

call out!

"bingo!"

The person with the best eyesight here is Zhe Kexing. As soon as Shen An's crossbow hit the target, he ran away.

Bao Zheng trembled and asked, "How many steps?"

"Two hundred steps!"

Actually shot? Shen An thought he could buy lottery tickets, UU Reading www.uukanｓshu.net But then he thought about it and felt that he might not have the talent of a sharp archer.

Shen An threw the crossbow over, and Yao passed it, saying with a look of death: "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, the villain will definitely have the crossbow while he is there, but if the crossbow is not there... he will die."

"What? Two hundred steps?!"

Bao Zheng's voice was trembling, "Quick, help... support me."

When Shen An saw the old man's face turn red, he quickly went over to help him, feeling a little panicked.

"You are... don't get excited! Calm down quickly."

Bao Zheng was breathing hard, then grabbed Shen An's hand and asked, "Are you talented?"

Shen An looked down and said awkwardly: "A bit."

Bao Zheng called over with a slap in the face and shouted: "I'm asking about strength!"

Shen An said in confusion: "It's just ordinary!"

Bao Zheng immediately shook off Shen An and strode over.

But Zhe Kexing was already running back with the target on his shoulders.

Shen An sniffed and walked over.

"Brother! Pot!"

Zhe Kexing was almost gibbering, and Shen An scolded: "If you giggle again, I will throw you into the palace."

Zhe Kexing was stopped by Bao Zheng, and then the destructive power of the crossbow was revealed in front of everyone.

The iron pot was penetrated from the front by a crossbow arrow, leaving only a small part of its tail outside.

Shen An was also a little surprised, but he was more happy and proud.

"Take off the iron pot and sell it for money later."

Bao Zheng held his chest and took a few deep breaths before saying, "I'll take this iron pot!"

Shen An said distressedly: "It costs a lot of money to make an iron pot!"

Bao Zheng looked at the crossbow arrows pierced on the iron pot and said with satisfaction: "Go back and let the officials reward you with a few pots."
