Chapter 268: Caught in an ambush
This crossbow is much larger than his plate axe, and such a large hand and crossbow can only be carried on the back, and the trousers will be torn off when hung on the waist. Liang Chuan stroked the crossbow machine, the crossbow in front of the crossbow was brushed with a layer of black paint, but it can be seen that the crossbow and bow are not integrally formed, but made of composite materials and multi-layer bamboo pressing.
The crossbow machine is very new, and it is rarely used at first glance, if this kind of wooden weapon is often used, although the crossbow machine is made of copper, but the crossbow machine and the crossbow arm will have a layer of pulp after being used for a long time, and this weapon will be easy to use. Bronze and iron tools were rare in this era, but this crossbow is enough to show that this kind of forging technique has been quite mature.
If Liang Chuan is a child who gets a new toy, it is indeed this thing that only those well-fed second ancestors can afford to play with in the future, and they can't touch this kind of flat-headed little people. He picked up the crossbow and aimed left and right, and there was also a 'lookout mountain' on the crossbow, which was similar to the front sight behind the gun, and came to aim at people more accurately. A crossbow is nearly a dozen catties, Liang Chuan is now full of strength, and he picked up this big guy with one hand, as if he was holding a pistol, and he was holding it flat. They were trained in police skills, and they had also practiced shooting, but he just used the routine to shoot crossbows.
The officials were surprised to see Liang Chuan's performance, they couldn't play this crossbow well, it was a lot more difficult to pull and shoot than a bow, and the weight was much heavier than an ordinary longbow, and it was hard to use it on the back, but the accuracy would be a few points stronger than the bow, even so they still didn't like this weapon.
It's really in danger, what the hell is this thing for? Shoot you an extra arrow at the top, and it would be nice to be able to catch a second arrow in a panic, but what about the third? The bow is different, one shot is a matter of course, and a good hunter can become a regular action like drinking water!
So the people who played this crossbow well between them couldn't find two, and this thing was more of a deterrent on their backs. But this crossbow is as easy as a reed ** in people's hands, and the crossbow body is as stable as a mountain, and none of them has this kung fu.
"Lao Li, can I shoot an arrow?" Liang Chuan's hands are itching, and the longbow angry horse fresh-clothed beauty has been a man's aphrodisiac since ancient times, and the temptation to people is too great, but without a bow, the crossbow is more delicate.
Where does Li Chengfu still have the heart to accompany Liang Chuan to practice archery? Nunu's mouth signals that you are happy. It's not good to refuse directly, now I invite him to go up the mountain, this can't do that, it's a bit sorry for others. Li Chengfu sat on horseback and threw a whole basket of arrows to Liang Chuan. Riding a horse on the mountain road is so bumpy that people are almost scattered, Li Chengfu is reluctant to get off the horse, and when he encounters danger, he can flash people with a pull on the horse's head, and four legs can run much faster than two legs.
A basket of arrows has not been used, the arrow feathers on it are slightly yellowed and stained with a little dust, it is estimated that it is not this rebellion, they will continue to sleep in the warehouse. Liang Chuan's current equipment, hanging his two big axes is enough to attract attention, and now he is carrying a crossbow, pinned to an arrow basket, and his body is full of things like a moving material warehouse, and he walks leisurely, his face is not red or panting, which is really admirable.
Liang Chuan's crossbow is facing down, and he pulls the crossbow string to the trigger with a little force and holds it, although he has never played, but he has never eaten pork, he has seen a pig run, and it is not a complicated structure, and he can understand the operation by looking at it. This action was done in one go, flowing smoothly, before the arrow, Ling Xuan pulled the trigger, the bell sounded, and the sound of the crossbow breaking the air was crisp and refreshing, and it was comfortable to hear! What a good thing, Liang Chuan sighed.
Liang Chuan put on the crossbow arrow this time, and with a bang, the feather arrow pierced the sky and nailed straight into the torso of an old tree in the distance.
Liang Chuan stood on tiptoe and trotted to the edge of the tree, if this arrow was not withdrawn, then one less shot, he was reluctant to be so hocked. The arrow sank too deep into the trunk of the tree, and it was pulled out with a sharp grasp of the arrow. If this is pierced on a person's body, I am afraid that this arrow will shoot through the flesh!
"Tsk, have you used this guy?" Liang Chuan asked Li Chuyi.
Li Chuyi didn't bother to look at the crossbow from beginning to end, and there was a disdain in his eyes.
"This crossbow is just a defective product, and it will be killed when it is matched with the border army or the forbidden army!" Li Chuyi said lightly.
Liang Chuan's face was full of mistakes: "How is it possible, you still can't look down on such sharp weapons?" β
Li Chuyi explained carefully: "The Great Song Dynasty Bow and Crossbow Courtyard can make hundreds of thousands of yellow birch and black lacquer crossbows every year, eight bows for seven people and nine days, and one hundred and fifty arrows for three people in two days. β
Liang Chuan had long heard of the name of the Song Dynasty's divine arm bow, and this weapon was one of the few battlefield killing weapons that had entered the textbook. This thing is the faΓ§ade of Da Song's housekeeping, and it is the lining and the face! On behalf of the advanced weapons manufacturing industry of the Great Song Dynasty, I did not expect that the output of bows and crossbows in the Song Dynasty was so high, and it could produce hundreds of thousands of crossbows a year. Moreover, such good goods in their hands are only inferior goods in the eyes of these professional soldiers, and they dare not imagine what the high-quality goods in their minds are like, Liang Chuan looked at the crossbow in his hand, and his heart was extremely yearning, when would he be able to feel the divine soldiers who were stronger than this crossbow.
The road to the game is a rugged mountain road, rather than a road. There are faint traces of people stepping on this road, and the thin sheep intestine path can only accommodate two or three people walking side by side, and the line of people is very long, and the beginning and tail cannot be taken into account.
In front of them, two armed and foot-wielding officials walked in front of the procession, acting as scouts. Li Chengfu and Master Lu followed one after the other, and Liang Chuan and Li Chuyi followed closely beside Li Chengfu.
Because Liang Chuan has run a lot in the mountains, he has unconsciously practiced a good skill of shuttling freely in the forest, and his feet are like having eyes, and what stone ridges and ravines would have stepped into, his feet will involuntarily throw two points higher, and calmly step over. Li Chuyi next to him was the same as him, the road conditions were extremely poor, but the two of them walked like their own back garden, strolling leisurely.
The other servants are used to the life of the uncle, and wherever they go, they are saddled before and after the horse, and the days are not good, where have they suffered this crime. Today, they are fully armed, everyone is wearing a pair of leather armor, carrying a gun and a crossbow, weighing dozens of pounds up and down, it is difficult to walk an inch under their feet, and they are carrying thousands of weights, so that their waists are about to break, not to mention fighting, it is a miracle that they can stand down the mountain.
The further you go to the mountain, the denser the forest becomes, and it is much more shady than the forest that Liang Chuan often goes, and there are not many weeds on the ground, but it is full of unknown plants, probably because they like yin and do not like yang, so they can grow so lush in this environment. Liang Chuan walked here with the team, and he felt uncomfortable, as soon as this feeling appeared, his heart became vigilant, this is a precursor of danger!
Li Chuyi's expression became solemn as soon as he walked here, his face didn't turn, he looked straight ahead, and said to Liang Chuan in a low voice: "This place is wrong, be careful!" β
Liang Chuan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Have you noticed it too, I was covered in hair when I walked here, the forest was abnormally quiet, there was not even a bird call in such a dense mountain forest, if something was abnormal, there would be a demon!" β
"It's not far ahead of Shicang, and it's still a few miles away." Li Chengfu waved his whip and pointed ahead, "After Shi Cang, you will be in the ocean, but you should be able to find out some useful information in Shi Cang." Li Chengfu said.
"How many anti-people are there?" Liang Chuanman asked Li Chengfu.
Before Li Chengfu could answer, Master Lu said worriedly: "According to the description of the mountain people who fled down the mountain, there are thousands of anti-people, but the old man suspects that there are not so many anti-thieves, the number of mountain people is not much, most of them are still quite honest, if there are really thousands of people, I am afraid that all the mountain people will fall into the grass!" β
"According to Master Lu's estimate, how many of these thieves are there?"
Master Lu rode on the horse and stroked his beard: "At most, it is not more than two hundred!" "Master Lu swears by it.
Liang Chuan was puzzled and asked, "How can you see it?" β
"This is the first time that Fujian has rebelled, why is it opposed? It's just that they can't survive, and it is related to the taxation of the tax collectors, but not everyone is exhausted, but where there is a trace of survival, the vast majority of people will still try their best to live. Besides, the number of mountain people was originally small, and throughout the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there have been few counter-events involving thousands of people. Although there are only 200 people, the court also needs thousands of troops to exterminate it, and the situation is not optimistic. β
Master Lu told the truth of this incident in one sentence, this is what a knowledgeable person said, what kind of rebellion does not move the army of 100,000, tens of thousands, that is all nonsense, who will let go of a good life, just turn it back? That's going to kill your head.
As he spoke, the situation changed suddenly. In the quiet dense forest, there was a sudden sharp sound of breaking the sky, Liang Chuan's ear power was amazing, and this sound was easily captured by Liang Chuan. Li Chuyi was also very alert, and immediately stopped Liang Chuan with his right hand: "Beware!" β
There were two muffled pops, and before the two scouts who had opened the way could make any sound, their bodies turned around slowly, and their eyes looked helplessly at the crowd, only to see a blood flower burst on their chests, and then the people fell down slowly, and when the pain of the painful wound spread all over their bodies, their mouths let out a roar like a wild cover, and they rolled wildly on the ground.
