Chapter 20: Sharp Weapons
It was still hot in the afternoon.
Zuo Hui and Zuo Rong, who were riding on horseback, were happily like unchained puppies, nervous and excited.
Zuo Chen thought that he was like the cat that was attacked by the brothers. Lonely squatting on the eaves, staring at the two brothers elated.
"Let these two boys play. Let's go and experiment with the power of the new crossbow. General Liu turned his head and said to Chen Dong.
"Yes!" General Chen agreed, waved his left hand and said, "General, please shoot at the shooting range." ”
Zuo Chen figured it out, it was indeed difficult for a strong man to ride a horse. But even if you understand the difficulties of the big face, it doesn't mean that you will be happy. Even if the growth rate of height is different from that of ordinary people, they still can't satisfy the thirst in their hearts.
General Liu had no time to take care of Zuo Chen at this time, and fiddled with the crossbow in his hand with great interest. It is very impatient, and the workmanship is not fine, which may be the inevitable result of rushing to catch up. Even so, it is still difficult to offset its attraction and affection for General Liu.
"Chen Dong! I shoot all the arrows in my quiver, and you shoot arrows with your bow. Let's compare speeds. General Liu said to General Chen.
"Yes, the last general will wait for the general's order to send arrows." General Chen pulled out his bow and could see a slight nervousness.
After a while, the two generals stopped moving their hands. Each other's eyes widened, stunned. Wang Ba looked at the mung bean like a mung bean, and Zuo Chen didn't dare to laugh out loud when he thought about it.
Chen Dong shot six arrows, and General Liu shot thirty arrows.
"If there were five arrows in one shot, wouldn't it be one hundred and twenty more than you!" General Liu couldn't hide the joy in his heart and said: "I, Liu Shangwu, have a magic weapon in my hand!" ”
"Yes! Congratulations to the general," Chen Dong said with a smile. was also excited in his heart, and his eyes were hot, staring at the crossbow in the general's hand.
"This arrow is shooting too fast, and the number of quivers stored is too pitiful!" General Liu frowned and said depressedly.
"You can reserve a few more quivers to hang on your body, and solve the problem of disassembling the quiver on the crossbow, otherwise there will be no problem." Zuo Chen said indifferently.
Looking at Zuo Chen in surprise, Chen Dong smiled. In front of the general, revealing too much curiosity is not necessarily good for himself.
The general glanced at Chen Dong with a slight smile and said, "The selected warriors are all up to standard?" ”
"General Hui, everything is being handled according to your requirements. Tomorrow, assemble them in a new camp. General Chen replied.
"When will it be made?" General Liu asked.
"It's also from tomorrow, after all, I don't know if it's going to be revised. You see, will the last general go back and arrange it? The final will be required to be completed in three days. General Chen replied without thinking.
"As Chen'er said, the quiver needs to be improved. You can't be in a hurry, you can't do it roughly, and you lose the brilliance that the artifact should have. General Liu said slowly.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, I probably felt that the sun was still dazzling, and gently closed my eyes.
"After winter, you know that I will go to Kyoto to resume my life. My own soldiers will also pick out two teams of people to train together. General Liu still said unhurriedly.
"General" Chen Dong hesitated and glanced at Zuo Chen.
"Say it. No problem! Even if he doesn't understand it now, he will understand it slowly. The general said. There was not the slightest emotion on the tough cheeks.
"General! Last year, when you went to Kyoto to resume your life, something big happened on the way, thanks to the fact that you had already arranged for two people to enter Kyoto. So far, we have not found any clues, which shows that this part of the people is very secretive. This year, will they still have an arrangement? Chen Dong said worriedly.
"Last year, it didn't work. It's still hands-on this year, because you only get one chance a year! In fact, there are only a handful of people who have this strength. Prince Qing and I have also analyzed it, and we can basically be sure. General Liu said with a smile.
"Then you can only be beaten passively, and you can't fight back?" Chen Dong asked with a frown.
"You still dare to lead the army into Kyoto? That's just right, without your help, the emperor will justifiably destroy you! After all, now that the world is peaceful, who can dare to make a move, right? The general said with a smile. If you are a person, you can see the helplessness and sadness on your face! Although he was laughing, he was smiling very desolately.
Zuo Chen heard it and could see it. The father's involuntary loneliness is better than squatting on the eaves alone like a cat.
"This part of the people who have been carefully selected should stay away from all the barracks. Do not participate in the training of the existing establishment. No problem, right? General Liu looked into Chen Dong's eyes and said, "Send the blacksmith master who can make springs over as well." By the way, there's also the master carpenter who makes quivers. All send a few helpers to them.
"Follow the General's arrangement! The general plans to start the retirement of veterans in advance, and these people will be included in the retirement roster. General Chen replied.
"Alright, I'm going back to the tent too. Hurry up and go! In the evening you come to my tent and tell you the quiver solution. After speaking, he waved his hand to Chen Dong. Without waiting for General Chen to say anything more, he got on his horse and hugged Zuo Chen and walked towards the cavalry training ground.
"These two boys are getting more and more proficient." After General Liu finished speaking, he looked at the son in his arms embarrassedly, and said, "Are you still angry for being a father?" ”
Zuo Chen looked up at the big face, and suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful. I wonder why it's pity, and not pity! "Nothing to be unhappy about! In the future, I will ride better than any of them! Looking at the big face, he continued, "Do you trust me?" ”
Flattered, he said with a cheerful laugh: "Faith! How could my son not believe it. ”
"How do you design this quiver?" Big Face asked modestly.
"Design a card slot at the bottom of the quiver, slide it backward to remove it, and slide it forward to press it. Isn't it simple? Zuo Chen said with a smile, and did not hide it.
The old face is embarrassed and red, and the big face is still the prestige of a general. Touching his chin, his face turned even redder.
"Your own soldiers, I redesigned quivers for them. Equip the crossbow with a crosshair, and you can hit every shot. Zuo Chen still said with a grin.
"Crosshair? What is a crosshair? The general asked suspiciously.
"You don't understand it now, I'll explain it to you when I'm done." Zuo Chen said.
He glared at his son in amazement, and said to himself, "You wicked! What a head, what is in it! ”
"I'm not a demon! It's your son! Zuo Chen roared loudly.
The general scratched his ears and thought, I didn't know you were my son? Why so loud!
