The Golden County Magistrate

Tang Yun only felt that the arrow wound on Wu Handong's body was a little strange. She didn't see what happened at that time. She only knew that Wu Handong was killed by Chen Yan, but she didn't expect that the reality was far beyond her imagination.

Shooting seven arrows in a row, is Chen Yan stronger than the best archer in the world?

"Yes!"

"At that time, Lord Chen picked up an ordinary crossbow and aimed at Wu Handong. Almost in an instant, he fired seven arrows, and Wu Handong died on the spot."

Qing Yuan didn't dare to hide anything and told the situation in detail.

Tang Yun took a breath, "Seven arrows were fired in an instant?"

Qing Yuan nodded, "Yes, and there was no arrow loaded. Lord Chen just pulled the mechanism of the crossbow continuously, and Wu Handong died."

While Tang Yun was horrified, her eyes swept around and soon fell on the crossbow on the table.

"Is it this thing?"

Qing Yuan nodded slightly.

Tang Yun walked over impatiently and said to Chen Yan: "Can I take a look?"

What could Chen Yan say?

Although he was implicated by Tang Yun today, he was also saved by Tang Yun's men at the same time.

You can't even not let others take a look, right?

Chen Yan nodded helplessly.

Tang Yun picked up the crossbow and observed it for a while. When he saw the quiver, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"If I'm not mistaken, put a few small arrows here directly?"

Chen Yan nodded and said: "Well, you can put ten small arrows at a time. After the arrows are shot, the quiver mechanism will automatically load the next small arrow."

Tang Yun was shocked, but also full of joy.

It's not that Da Zhou doesn't have crossbows, but most of them are heavy crossbows. There are also crossbows, but they are not widely used.

The reason why they are not widely used is that it is too difficult to load crossbows, which is far less convenient than bows and arrows.

And Chen Yan's design perfectly solves the biggest drawback of crossbows.

"Good stuff, really good stuff."

Tang Yun seemed to remember something and continued: "Whether it is the Great Zhou or the surrounding countries, the most precious war resources are the same, that is, the best archers. Archers are too difficult to train. Because of this, the crossbow was designed, and ordinary soldiers can easily control it, and the threshold for getting started is not high. However, the cumbersome loading process makes the crossbow unable to completely replace the bow, and archers are still the most valuable warriors in any country."

Speaking, Tang Yun looked up at Chen Yan, "But the emergence of this continuous crossbow arrow may really allow ordinary soldiers to replace elite archers and become the main force on the battlefield."

Chen Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that a business woman would have such insight.

In the era of cold weapons, elite archers are indeed the most valuable resources.

Positioning is like a sniper in later generations.

Ordinary infantry only needs hard training.

But to become the most elite archer, in addition to hard training, talent is also needed.

However, it is a bit too much to want the crossbow to completely replace the position of elite archers.

"Although the crossbow is good, it can never replace the elite archers, especially the longbowmen."

Chen Yan poured a basin of cold water on Tang Yun, which made Tang Yun stunned.

"Why?"

"This kind of hand crossbow has insufficient range and is more suitable for close combat. It can't achieve the effect of long-range suppression of longbowmen at all."

Chen Yan explained everything.

Tang Yun thought about it and felt that what Chen Yan said made some sense. He nodded and said, "Well, I am a little anxious when I see such a good thing."

Chen Yan continued, "Besides, this kind of crossbow is expensive, much more expensive than ordinary bows and arrows."

Tang Yun nodded slightly, but the joy on his face did not diminish at all.

"If it is according to your idea, how should this thing be used?"

Tang Yun was very curious about Chen Yan's thoughts.

Chen Yan curled his lips, "We are not in the military, let Lao Xun think about this matter, we just do business."

"Just curious." Tang Yun murmured.

Chen Yan casually said: "In today's Great Zhou, this thing is most suitable for special forces."

Tang Yun was stunned, puzzled, "What is a special force?"

"It's nothing more than a special force that specializes in reconnaissance, sabotage, harassment, kidnapping and assassination." Chen Yan said perfunctorily.

Tang Yun immediately became interested and pondered: "These are all extremely difficult tasks, but they are also tasks that can reverse the situation. If the troops are specialized in these tasks, they should all be selected from the elites in the army."

Chen Yan was stunned. This woman is too much. Just a casual remark, this woman can actually think so much?

And what she thought was really right!

"Indeed, you don't need a lot of people, but they must all be elites, and they must have a certain amount of knowledge, at least the learning ability must be strong enough."Chen Yan continued talking.

He was just chatting, but he didn't expect that Tang Yun had already made up her mind.

She had to admit that Chen Yan's idea was very good.

Once you have such a small force that can perform many special tasks.

In many cases, it should be able to achieve miraculous results.

Of course, what we say now is just talk. Whether the so-called special forces can have miraculous effects remains to be tested.

However, it should be okay to try it!

Tang Yun suppressed the idea in her heart. If there is a chance, she can ask Xun Yufei.

"My lord, my lord, the doctor is here."

At this time, Lu Qing'er hurried in with two doctors.

"Doctor Qi, Doctor Guo, come and see her."

Chen Yan knew these two, they were the best doctors in Qingshan County.

"Don't worry, Doctor Qi was once with the army, so the arrow wound shouldn't be a problem for him."

Qing Yuan shook her head, "An arrow in the shoulder is not a big deal."

Tang Yun also showed a trace of worry on her face, but she said nothing.

Doctor Qi's name is Qi Yunshan, the best doctor in Qingshan County.

He glanced at Qing Yuan's shoulder, frowned, and looked at the doctor named Guo beside him.

Guo Bi also had a bitter look on his face and shook his head at Qi Yunshan.

Qi Yunshan frowned and said, "It's a bit difficult to deal with."

Chen Yan was stunned, "Difficult to deal with? Why? Isn't it just an arrow in the shoulder? With your skills, it shouldn't be a problem."

Qi Yunshan sighed, "Maybe the distance was too close, the arrow penetrated the bone and couldn't be completely removed. Saving lives is not difficult, but it's difficult to leave any troubles."
