Chapter 142: One Arrow
There was a man on the city gate who walked past the crowd, and the people below did not pay attention to the officials and their families, but the royal relatives on the city gate noticed.
Chen Bainiang, who was standing behind the lord of Boyang County, also looked over in surprise when she heard the three words of Maoyuan Mountain.
This man is featureless, and even a little down-and-out.
It was for such a person that she made such a big move, and even harmed herself.
Fan Jianglin knelt down in front of the Son of Heaven and bowed to pay respects, perhaps knowing that the emperor didn't even want to talk to him more, so he spoke straight after paying homage.
"The grass people are grateful to Your Majesty Shengming, and they will not hesitate to die for the country." He said loudly.
Don't, your lives are too precious to die.
The emperor sneered in his heart, of course, as the son of heaven, he would not be stingy to put on a face for a small person in front of everyone, he nodded with a smile.
The attendants hurriedly signaled Fan Jianglin to kowtow and retreat, but Fan Jianglin kowtowed but did not retreat.
"Your Majesty, Xiaomin is disabled and can no longer go to the battlefield to kill the enemy for Your Majesty, so Xiaomin offers a thing to kill the enemy for Xiaomin for Your Majesty and raise your Majesty's prestige." He said.
After looking at this Fan Jianglin empty-handed, he didn't know what to offer? A birthday poem? Or is it the auspicious words of the mouth of the god doctor lady? Either the elixir of immortality.
The emperor thought sarcastically in his heart.
"Bring it in." He said.
"Xiaomin offered a killing weapon, and he didn't dare to present it without permission." Fan Jianglin said.
Killers?
At this moment, the others also whispered, and the word horseshoe suddenly flashed in the emperor's heart...
"What kind of killing weapon?" He asked, hesitantly.
"Crossbow." Fan Jianglin said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present showed disdain, and some people simply laughed.
"I wonder which saint used this crossbow?"
"That's wrong, it's the gods who used it."
There was a low laugh behind him.
The emperor's face was still the same.
"The crossbow of the small people is a hundred times heavier." Fan Jianglin said again.
Win a hundred times!
There was an uproar, but it wasn't over yet.
"The villain's crossbow bow, more than 340 steps, into the elm half of the pipe, seventy steps outside the hole through the iron armor." Fan Jianglin continued.
He knelt straight like that, with a solemn expression, neither trembling in the face of the Son of Heaven, nor panicking because of the astonishment and noise around him.
"Fan Jianglin, do you know what you're talking about?" The emperor was also slightly moved, looked at the small people in front of him, and asked.
Nowadays, the weapon used in the army is heavy work, necessary for attack and defense, more powerful than a crossbow, or a crossbow that is a hundred times more powerful, what kind of crossbow must it be, this is too big, right?
"Your Majesty can verify it." Fan Jianglin said.
The Emperor looked at him.
Well, in that case, I will fulfill you, and this is not that I want you to lose face in front of the world.
"Accurate." He said.
If it were true...
More than 340 steps. Into the elm half-pipe. Seventy steps away pierced through iron armor....
Although his health has always been bad and he is not young, it is fair to say that this emperor is still very warlike in his bones, and he was reprimanded by the courtiers when he was young.
Listening to what Fan Jianglin said, the emperor had already calculated in his heart how much deterrent and lethal this crossbow was.
If it's true...
That's a real killer.
If it's true...
The emperor raised his head and looked at the inner guards who had already gone to give the order, because it was a murder weapon, it was naturally impossible to get close to the imperial city, so it didn't come after a while.
The movement on the city gate was finally noticed by the people, and they inquired one after another, because the messenger passed all the way, and everyone knew about it, and it suddenly boiled.
"It's not for the March Emperor's visit to the garden, we can also see the forbidden army performing horse archery."
The people said that they didn't know what kind of crossbow they were going to test-fire was boasting about, as long as there was a lot of excitement, it was enough.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
With a burst of bustle, a chamberlain and a team of forbidden soldiers with solemn expressions and deep vigilance came over a young man.
The young man was dressed in a battle robe and held a crossbow in his hand, looking handsome and handsome.
At this time, the folk customs were open, and Liuliulang attracted many women's calls and laughter, and handkerchiefs and sachets were thrown over, as if the emperor was in March at a grand garden party to welcome those forbidden soldiers who performed horse archery.
The bustle all the way to the place where the officials fell silent, and the female relatives of the official family did not dare to be as bold as the folk women, but suddenly there was a commotion, accompanied by the screams of the women.
This is who is so rude.
Everyone frowned and looked at it.
"Rokuro! Isn't that Rokuro?" A little lady of the Zhou family shouted, stretching out her hand and pointing at the young man who was striding in the middle of the road.
Mrs. Zhou clutched her chest and gasped, as if she was going to suffocate in the next moment.
"Didn't he say he wouldn't go out today? Why, why did you not only go out, but also run to the emperor?"
"What is he going to do?"
The little ladies chirped and shouted until Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes and fainted.
The commotion here went away with Liuliulang, and came to the side of the high-ranking officials and magnates, although there was no screams of the women, but the whistles of the men sounded.
Saturday Lang still didn't squint at the past.
Qin Shisanlang retracted his gaze with a smile and looked at the people on both sides who looked at him suspiciously.
"Pretty heroic, isn't it?" He laughed.
The crowd gave him a roll of his eyes and continued to whisper about the bow and crossbow that the young man was holding.
“… It doesn't look like much..."
"....What is it made of, it seems that there are no horns... Kid's playing."
Played?
If you really want to play, you can't afford to play.
Qin Shisanlang smiled slightly, looking at Liulang, who had already walked under the city gate.
Because he had a bow and crossbow, and it was so close to the Son of Heaven, the forbidden soldiers did not disperse, and stared at Liulang with a waist knife in their hands, promising that if he made any abnormal moves, he would be hacked to death.
"Zhou Zhen, please try the bow for Your Majesty." Saturday Lang said loudly, kneeling down on one knee while rushing to the Son of Heaven at the city gate.
Wearing a battle robe is free of charge.
The emperor nodded and glanced at the young man.
You're too young, isn't it? Why don't you find a better shooter and try it?
A thought flashed through his mind, but he didn't say it.
"Swing the plate armor!"
The forbidden army, which had already been ordered, shouted loudly.
On the other side, many forbidden soldiers with shields stood seventy paces away.
At the same time, there was also a row of forbidden troops standing on the city gate, holding shields to protect the relatives and ministers of the Emperor of Heaven behind them.
All eyes were focused on the young man with the bow and crossbow.
The young man put down his crossbow and stepped on it with his outstretched foot.
The people in the distance couldn't see what he had done, but they saw that the young man had already raised his bow and crossbow again, and the scene was quiet.
But the young man didn't shoot an arrow, but frowned and looked at the forbidden army beside him.
"Let's leave only the shield and let the people go." He said, "It's just that the test shot doesn't have to kill people."
As soon as these words came out, the forbidden soldiers nearby looked stunned.
What's wrong? At such a distance, it's good to shoot through armor, and you can shoot people to death?
The emperor couldn't help frowning when he saw that there was no movement, and stood forward, the chamberlain understood what he meant, and hurriedly asked loudly, and the forbidden army below had to report Liulang's words.
There was an uproar again at the city gates, shaking their heads and smiling with a straight face.
"Your Majesty, this is true, let's be careful." Fan Jianglin said.
Now you can make trouble as much as you like, the emperor waved his hand.
The forbidden army with the shield in hand pushed in, leaving the shield in place with a wooden frame.
Saturday Lang raised his crossbow and aimed it at the shield in front of him, the scene was quiet again, and the countless sights were like the scorching sun, which could almost make people roast, coupled with the suffocating quiet, the forbidden army beside him also looked a little nervous, and couldn't help but look at this young man.
Has this young man ever been watched by so many people? Can you still shoot arrows?
The Praetorian Army's gaze fell on Saturday Lang's arm, and his sharp gaze wanted to detect a hint of trembling.
"Oh girl, lady..."
The woman's exclamation seemed to sound in Liulang's ears again, and he seemed to have returned to the Yudaiqiao Mansion that day, looking at Cheng Jianniang, who was standing next to the grass target, reaching out to untie his hair and sideburns, and his black hair was scattered like a waterfall.
A pear was placed on her head.
The crisp pears, long black hair, bright eyes, fair cheeks, and inky skirt smock make up a wonderful picture in the daylight.
"Come on, shoot." Cheng Jianniang said, raising her finger and pointing at the pear on her head.
The maidservants screamed.
Saturday Lang was also stunned.
Are you kidding!
"Don't dare or can't?" The girl asked with a slight smile.
The words and smile hit the young man's heart at the same time, and he snorted and raised his hand to draw his bow.
"Oh, Zhou Gongzi, no." Banqin hurriedly shouted in fright, and stood up with her hands in front of Cheng Jianniang.
"Banqin, can't you trust me or Zhou Gongzi?" Cheng Jianniang said.
Banqin turned his head.
"Lady, let me come, let me come." She said hurriedly.
"You might as well come to me." Cheng Jianniang said, raising her hand to signal her to get out of the way.
Banqin bit her lower lip and turned her head to look at Liuliulang, who walked and stretched his bow with an arrogant expression and did not mean to say a word.
These two people are actually very stubborn.
Banqin had to stand away reluctantly.
"Come on." Cheng Jianniang said.
Before her words fell, Liulang's hand let go of the bowstring, and with the screams of the girls, the pear on Cheng Jianniang's head was pierced by the arrow and flew out.
Banqin patted her heart and hurriedly stepped forward and wiped a few drops of juice splashed on her face with a handkerchief.
"Okay, okay, stop playing, don't play." She said again and again.
Cheng Jianniang shook her head and stretched out her hand.
"Bring it again." She said.
Banqin glared.
"I'm not playing, I don't have time to play." Cheng Jianniang said, "I don't know how to play."
Don't have time to play... Can't play...
How does that sound so sad?
I took another pear from the fruit bowl on the side, and looked at Cheng Jianniang resting on her shoulder.
This is not over, Cheng Jianniang watched Liu Liulang reach out and hold down the pear and slowly retreat, and the hearts of Banqin and the maidservants were raised.
"Lady," everyone couldn't help but shout.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps, five steps...
Liuliulang looked at the woman, counted silently in his heart, and finally stood by the wall.
"The family is too small." Cheng Jianniang said, stretching out one hand to pull her hair aside, and the other pointed to the pear on her shoulder, and smiled slightly, "Come on."
Liuliulang bit his lower lip and squinted at her, the emerald green pear in the sunlight was on the side of the girl's face, and the hair was pulled to the other side, revealing the ears, small and fair, and there were no other women with earrings, so there should be no ear piercings.
Since she was a child, who would have thought of piercing her ears.
Who is willing to rub her skin like this....... not at all, not at all...
Saturday Lang releases the bowstring.
There was a buzz, and then there was a bang.
A shield shook seventy paces away.
This is not the end, the young man lowered his bow and crossbow, bent his feet, and raised the crossbow again.
Buzzing and buzzing, the sound was endless, knocking on the eardrums of the people present.
"What a fast winding speed," muttered a janitor.
"It's so easy to wind up," muttered another Janission.
What does that mean, what does it mean to save time, and what does time mean on the battlefield? means life.
Many times, life and death are in an instant, and victory or defeat is also in an instant
After firing ten arrows in a row, Liulang put down the crossbow in his hand, and the forbidden army that had been staring at him also saw the young man's breathing and the shaking of his arms as he wished.
But who the fuck cares about this now!
Everyone's eyes turned to the shield seventy paces away.
There are forbidden troops running over.
"Piercing!" He shouted, raised a shield, showed it to the emperor at the city gate, and then turned to the people around him.
The crowd was shouting for joy, but before the sound could be heard, one shield after another was raised.
"Piercing!"
"Piercing!"
"Piercing!"
With one shout after another, the shields were raised one by one, but the people who wanted to cheer did not shout and did not move, and the people standing closest were all high-ranking officials and magnates, they knew very well what this meant, and they were shocked, they did not shout, and the people behind them, although they did not know what this meant, but they also stopped shouting.
There was silence in front of the city gate where the huge crowd was gathered, as if waiting for the moment when the Son of Heaven would ascend to the city gate.
And at this time the Son of Heaven stood at the city gate.
The people were silent, and the raised side by side shields with obvious holes constituted an eerie scene.
"Think about it, if there were a row or even two rows or a military formation of soldiers with such crossbows and bows, what would it be like."
What kind of scene is that.
One after another, crossbow arrows departed from the crossbows held by the soldiers in formation. The rain of arrows poured down on the enemy of the Western Thieves, and instead of hitting the shield and falling as before, the armor fell, but pierced.
Piercing!
Piercing!
Flesh and blood are flying and wailing all over the field, overwhelming and invincible, what the heavy soldiers of the Western Thief, what the Iron Cavalry of the Western Thief!.
Hahaha, a leader of the forbidden army standing beside the emperor suddenly laughed out loud.
No one immediately thought of reprimanding him for his deceitfulness, but with this laughter, his scalp was numb, and a scorching heat instantly spread throughout his body.
