The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"Of course we understand this."

"But you have to tell us how to make this new arrow."

"Can you build enough military workshops as soon as possible?"

"Don't just meet your father's needs, we also need this powerful new arrow."

"My dear nephew, you must know that Dakang's biggest enemies are now in the north and east."

"The north is good at riding and shooting, and the foreign countries in the east are even better at archery."

"We have suffered a lot in the past!"

Li Que said seriously.

"Yes, my dear nephew, the number of soldiers killed in my legion every year."

"Sixty to seventy percent of them died under the enemy's arrows."

"Dakang is located in the south, and in terms of bow and arrow technology, it is far behind the enemies in the north and east."

Li Wenkai nodded.

"Please rest assured, uncles."

"My nephew has already started the layout. Give me a few months at most."

"My nephew can build more military workshops and forge more arrows."

"But the cost of building new military workshops and craftsmen is a huge expense."

"My nephew doesn't have enough money in his house, so he can only do it step by step."

Duan Chun smiled.

"How about this, uncle plans to order 50,000 arrows from you."

"How much money do you need? I can advance you a part of it."

Li Que thought.

"I also reserve 50,000 arrows."

"Just tell me how much money my nephew needs."

Li Wenkai has already taken out a roll of household pawn tickets from his sleeve.

He is actually ready to pay the money directly.

"Don't worry, uncles."

"Wait for my nephew's personal guards to bring the gifts."

"Let's talk about it after you have seen it."

Duan Chun smiled and waved his hand.

"Okay, then we'll see."

"How big a surprise can the smart son of old Duan give us?"

Li Wenkai smiled.

The three of them sat behind the table, drinking tea and asking Duan Chun about his subsequent plans.

Duan Chun simply told the two about the farm's preparations for the workshop.

But he kept his mouth shut about the material formula and how to make new weapons.

He smiled and didn't answer when asked urgently.

Li Que and Li Wenkai had no way out.

Footsteps sounded outside the lobby, and Zhang Wu brought six guards.

He walked quickly with three wooden boxes.

"I greet the young master."

"I greet the two generals."

Zhang Wu came to the lobby and quickly knelt on one knee to salute the three people.

"You're welcome."

Li Que couldn't wait to stand up and came to the three wooden boxes with Li Wenkai.

He stretched out his hand and directly opened the lid of the first box.

Looking at the thick straw inside, the two reached out and took out a black short crossbow from the straw.

Duan Chun also stood up and signaled the guards to withdraw.

"Uncles, in the first wooden box."

"These are the ten continuous-shooting crossbows that my nephew prepared for you three uncles."

"And hundreds of crossbow arrows."

Wang Mo also took out a short crossbow from the wooden box and explained.

"Short crossbow...this shape..."

"Is it a continuous-shooting crossbow?"

"But the appearance of a continuous-shooting crossbow is very different from yours."

Li Que recognized the shape of the short crossbow in his hand at a glance.

There is also a sword box at the top of the short crossbow, which is a continuous-shooting sword box with arrows.

As long as you keep moving the sword box, you can automatically pull the bowstring, automatically load arrows, and shoot continuously.

Until the arrows in the arrow box are used up.

However, this short crossbow is larger than an ordinary continuous-shooting crossbow.

And at the end of the crossbow arms on both sides, there are actually two strange rings...

It looks very strange.

"My two uncles, this crossbow of mine is called a boosted continuous-shooting crossbow."

"The short arrows shot out are more than twice as powerful as those of ordinary continuous-shooting crossbows."

"And the arrowheads used are also different from those of ordinary crossbows."

Duan Chun took out a bundle of short arrows from a wooden box.

After untying the rope, he easily put the short arrows into the quiver from the back.

Then he moved the quiver, and with a click, the bowstring was automatically pulled apart.

The two dukes stared with wide eyes, because they discovered.

The tip of the crossbow arrow used by Duan Chun was an arrowhead that flashed with cold metal light!

The shape was the same as the spiral armor-piercing arrow!

It was just a different size, but it was made more delicately.

"You two uncles should know."

"It is difficult to accurately aim at the enemy with this kind of continuous-fire short crossbow."

"The range is within 20 steps to cause some damage to the enemy."

"But when facing an enemy wearing armor, the lethality is very insufficient."

"The power of the continuous-fire crossbow lies in its ability to launch attacks continuously."

Duan Chun said.

"That's right, this weapon is only equipped by the general's personal guards or light cavalry."

"It has too many components, it is easy to damage, and it can't cause greater damage."

"In the legion, it is not a conventional weapon."

Li Que said.

"I have never taken this kind of short crossbow seriously."

"When I led the cavalry to charge, I was hit by several of these continuous-fire crossbows."

"They can't penetrate armor, even if they pierce the parts that the armor cannot defend."

"It won't cause penetrating damage."

Li Wenkai said disdainfully.

"Then please take a look at the power of this continuous-fire short crossbow in my nephew's hand."

Duan Chun smiled and raised the short crossbow with one hand, pointing it in the direction of the distant lobby door.

Swish!

Boom!

Just pull the copper trigger button, and the sound of breaking through the air sounded.

A cold light shot out...

The two dukes looked at the crossbow arrow shot out of the short crossbow in surprise, and it hit the gate on one side like lightning.

The sound made the two open their mouths in disbelief.

"Don't worry, uncles."

Duan Chun moved the arrow box with his other hand, and the bowstring was automatically pulled back as the arrow box moved backward.

Swish, swish, swish!

A series of air-breaking sounds sounded one after another, and a series of cold lights flew straight forward.

A dozen steps away, one side of the gate had been nailed with crossbow arrows.

Duan Chun then took the two dukes to the gate.

He motioned the two to look at the crossbow arrows on it, what was the current situation?

Li Que curiously stretched out a hand and wanted to pull out the crossbow arrow nailed to the thick wooden door.

He wanted to pull it out easily, but after a try,

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face...

Not only Li Que, but also Li Wenkai, the Duke of Anguo, could not pull out the short crossbow nailed on it with one hand.

The two dukes used both hands to pull out the crossbow arrows.

A deep hole suddenly appeared on the gate!

"Impossible!"

Li Wenkai quickly opened the door panel and was surprised to find that.

Each crossbow arrow had to shoot through the thick door panel.

It can be clearly seen from the back that the tip of the arrow flashing with cold light actually popped out a little bit!

"This...how did you do it?"

"How can the power of the continuous shooting crossbow become so amazing!"

Li Que asked in surprise.

"Uncles, let me explain before you."

"Please try it yourself once."

"Uncles, you will understand the power of this kind of afterburner continuous shooting crossbow."

Duan Chun said with a smile.

"Let's try it."

The two dukes quickly retreated more than ten steps.

Holding the crossbow in one hand and moving the quiver with the other...

This movement immediately made the two of them brighten up!
