Chapter 18: The Crossbow

Looking at the sketch in his hand, the general's heart was really broken! It's broken!

Crossbows, it turns out that this can be done.

On top of the bow and crossbow, there is an quiver-like thing. Under the quiver and at the point where the bow is level, there is a parallel slot pierced with a wrench. When the wrench is pulled back to the position of the bayonet, the arrow will fall from the quiver, and the quiver has a mechanism that controls the number of arrows that can be dropped one, three, or five. Pull the trigger under the flat handle and the arrow will shoot out of the arrow path at the front end.

It's really just like what Zuo Chen said, you can shoot five sharp arrows in one shot without pulling the string!

The most important thing is that there are two springs wrapped in a camera obscura on the left and right sides of the handlebar. What is a spring? More elastic than a bowstring? How is it not in an arc like the string on the bow? How like twisted ropes?

Thinking of so many questions, General Liu is one head and two big. Looking at the calm face of the son in front of him, General Liu had the heart to cry. I thought to myself, from the bow and arrow of hunting to the bow and crossbow of the current defense of the country, there are hundreds of thousands of years. How did it end up in the hands of this demon and become such a terrifying weapon of destruction?

No, I need to find a place to be quiet. But where else can he go but in his own military tent? General Liu couldn't help but feel discouraged when he thought of running back to the barracks as if he had fled a few years ago! In other words, can you run home again? Secretly looked at his son, and his face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck.

"Father, there is no doubt, I will go back to practice martial arts?" Zuo Chen's face was still as calm as water.

"Go, go. You see, I forgot, this is a big deal that your grandfather confessed! General Liu urged hurriedly.

Watching his son walk out of the camp, General Liu patted his chest hard, trying to calm his pounding heart in such a rough way

Before dawn, the soldiers came to Zuo Chen's bed and told him that the general had something urgent to discuss.

Zuo Hui, who had not woken up in a daze, muttered in his mouth and asked Zuo Chen, "What is so important, it's dawn?" ”

"Whoa! Zuo Chen, you ask Uncle, are you still at the training ground in the afternoon? Zuo Rong got up and said excitedly.

"yes, you have to ask. There's no trouble with an uncle, isn't it? Zuo Hui also poked his head out of the sheet and said with sleepy eyes open.

"Sleep with you both! I don't have to ride, so I have to ask myself. Zuo Chen said angrily: "Don't be considerate of my feelings!" ”

"You're really. There's no brotherhood at all! Zuo Hui said, burrowing into the sheet again.

Zuo Rong was left shirtless and scratched his head in a daze.

When Zuo Chen saw his father, he was rubbing his hands restlessly in front of the drawings.

"Father, what's wrong?" Zuo Chen asked.

"Yesterday, I watched with you Uncle Chen for half a night. Everything else is possible, but what is this marked spring? General Liu said, his hands still rubbing. How can you still have the demeanor of a general when you are at a loss?

Zuo Chen looked at his father, smiled happily and didn't speak.

"You kid, I'm in a hurry! I want to have three long and two short and you can't cry, I can tell you! "General Liu was in a hurry, and his words were no longer on point.

"It's okay to tell you. However, "Zuo Chen sold the guanzi."

"You're my own son! Who did you learn this bargain with, did Zuo Hui and Zuo Rong teach you? See how I clean up those two boys. General Liu, who couldn't wait for his son's next words, said angrily.

"It has nothing to do with them. Grandpa taught me, you go clean up and take a look? Zuo Chen looked at his father with a smile and gestured with his hand exaggeratedly.

"You don't make a fuss. It's not in shape, I'm in a hurry. General Liu looked helpless, and heard that the old man's momentum was half a cut shorter.

"Father, you have to promise me to ride a horse!" Zuo Chen, who had never ridden a horse in his previous life, was really obsessed with riding a horse.

"Okay, let's talk about it!" General Liu immediately agreed, reacted quickly, and hurriedly said, "Riding a horse? No way! He looked at his son with his eyes wide open.

"No way?" Zuo Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Ah, okay!" General Liu dragged a long voice, thinking that it would be okay, but he didn't say that it would start from now on. Besides, this baby bump is broken, so it's not distressing to die!

The spring did so, forging the iron to the thickness of chopsticks, and wrapping them tightly around the sticks in a row. Then take it off and quench it, and quench it until it is not steel or soft. The blacksmith master in the barracks, it should be okay, right? After Zuo Chen finished speaking, he didn't find Lao Tzu's abnormality.

"It's really window paper, it's broken at a point." General Liu said with a smile. With a sigh of relief, he called his own soldiers to come over and instructed him to invite the adjutant general General Chen.

Looking at his son, the more pleasing he looked, the happier he became, and he asked with a smile: "When did your grandfather teach you to talk to me about the conditions?" Why don't I know, your grandfather often writes about you, why don't you have an impression? ”

Zuo Chen's heart was moved, it turned out that the old man had been looking at himself carefully. Moreover, I often communicate with the big face plate who is far away at the border to share this family happiness.

"It's the time when Wang Xingke came to the house, but he didn't play as smart!" Zuo Chen replied.

"It's not smart! It's all used on the pro-Lao Tzu. Grinning, General Liu laughed. He stopped laughing and said: "Before the winter, Wang Xingke will come to the border to send some wound medicine and some winter supplies, do you need anything?" You can let him bring it to you. ”

After thinking about it, Zuo Chen didn't come up with anything. The mirage he wanted the most, and he couldn't bring it. Wondering, is there still a Heavenly Outer God there this year?

"Your grandfather said that you like the seafood of Fengxiang the most, so I can't bring it to you. This time, Wang Xingke will dry your favorite food and bring it to the border gate. General Liu said with a smile, paying attention to Zuo Chen's expression.

Smiling, General Chen stepped into the camp.

"The last general will see the general." General Chen clasped his fists and saluted.

"Excuse me! At dawn, the strange man who delivered the drawings left the barracks. Do you understand how to do springs? General Liu said carefully.

Zuo Chen secretly gave his father a thumbs up, and the two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Arrange it before the order, and it's best to see it after the order." General Liu seemed to be really anxious.

"Father, will you go to the training ground in the afternoon?" Zuo Chen remembered the brothers' entrustment and asked.

"That depends." General Liu covered his forehead with his hand and said, "You have a little headache, you don't have to go back to rest?" ”

Looking at Zuo Chen, who walked out of the military tent, General Liu really had a headache. My son wants to ride a horse, but what's the fun?
