"Hahaha...... Zhuge Liang is worthy of Zhuge Liang, this method is simply amazing! I invented the Kong Ming lantern so quickly, it seems that it is really right to ask Huang Yueying to go with me this time! After receiving Zhuge Liang's letter, Liu Yong immediately ordered to raise and mobilize materials, fortunately, Xiangyang was rich enough, there was a lot of kraft paper in stock, and even crossbows should be reserved, and the raisings were completed in just two days, and immediately called the new military general Chen Ying to lead 2,000 men and horses to the Nanxiang camp again, and at the same time equipped with nearly 20,000 arrows.

In addition, there is a letter from Liu Yong, in which Liu Yong praised Zhuge Liang's peerless talent and asked him to continue to work hard and strive to invent some more useful items.

For the repeater, the weapon that should have been invented by Zhuge Liang later was brought into this era by him in advance, and no one can know better than Liu Yong about the power of the repeater. The last time he was attacked in Iron Mountain, if it weren't for the fact that his own guards were all carrying crossbows, maybe he would have been killed and turned into a white skeleton.

Fortunately, Liu Yong deliberately kept it secret, not many people knew about it, and now there are not many imitations, this time it will definitely be able to make the crossbow show its might again, take Nanxiang in one fell swoop, and then besiege Fancheng and destroy Liu Biao.

Chen Ying had just joined the army, so he naturally cherished this opportunity very much, and hurried all the way, but he arrived at the Nanxiang camp on the fifth day.

With materials and craftsmen, Zhuge Liang and Huang Yueying immediately led the men and horses to rush to make it overnight.

Zang Ba specially designated an area for Zhuge Liang to make lanterns, and all personnel were not allowed to come and go at will, even craftsmen could only live in that area before the city was broken. Fortunately, the salary given by Liu Yong was high enough, and Liu Yong had established enough prestige in Xiangyang to be deeply supported by the people, and these craftsmen were not dissatisfied, and went all out to make lanterns.

Zhuge Liang divided the men and horses into two groups to work in shifts, day and night.

On the other hand, Zhao Yun selected two thousand brave and skilled archery sergeants from the army to practice repeaters. Even Zang Ba, Yin Li, Chen Ying, and Du Xi also practiced together.

Zang Ba and Chen Ying's archery skills are good, and the crosshairs that they practiced in less than two days are very stable, even Yin Li, who can't shoot arrows, can hit six or seven out of ten. As for Zhao Yun, needless to say, he had already used a repeating crossbow, so he was naturally a hundred shots. Du Xi is both civil and military, although his strength is not as good as Zhao Yun, Zang Ba, or even Yin Li, but he has a very high understanding and a foundation in archery, and his progress is only a little worse than that of Zang Ba and Chen Ying.

After a few people had almost practiced, they began to compete.

Du Xian has always been laughed at by several people for being weak, but this time he was laughed at again, and immediately disagreed: "If it is about military merit and skill, I am willing to bow down, but if it is a joke that I can't use a crossbow well, I don't agree." Except for General Zilong, if any of you are not convinced, I can compete with him, and if you lose, you will call the other party big brother. ”

"Hahaha......" Several people laughed: "You're still not convinced, I'll compare with you, you will be my little brother in the future, my brother will always take care of you!" Zang Ba laughed in response.

Yin Li and Chen Ying were not far behind.

Zhao Yun said with a smile: "In this case, it is better for you to compete together, everyone is a general under the command of the lord, and we will cooperate sincerely in the future." Take this opportunity to compare the crossbows and rank them according to the results, become brothers with different surnames, and how about a martial arts competition? ”

"So good! We will come to the martial arts competition, not by age, only by archery rankings, and in the future will also leave a legend of martial arts in the annals of martial arts. Hearing Zhao Yun's advice, the other four happily agreed.

Then each person had ten arrows, twenty feet away from the bull's-eye of the straw man, and began the competition.

"I'll come first!" Zang Ba took the lead and stepped forward to start.

The first arrow, the medium!

The second arrow, medium!

……

Zang Ba was worthy of being the first person to make a move, and he was hit by seven arrows in a row.

"Wait! What if the shots are the same? Yin Li asked.

"That's not simple, if the number of arrows shot is the same, then it depends on whose arrow is deep and powerful!" Zhao Yun immediately gave the judging criteria.

So Zang Ba continued to shoot the remaining three arrows, and all three of them hit!

"All hit!" Even the sergeant practicing next to him exclaimed.

"Awesome! Little brother admires! Du Xi was the first to be convinced to let Zang Ba be his brother.

Yin Li was not convinced: "Don't worry, let's see me shoot!" ”

Yin Li fired ten arrows in succession, but one shot missed.

Nine!

This is also a very good result, after all, it is so far away.

Chen Ying was humble and let Du Ying come first, but Du Ying said that he would suppress the formation, and finally surpass Yin Li and let Chen Ying come first.

Chen Ying was not pretentious, leveled the crossbow body, shot out one by one, and finally hit nine of them. This put a lot of pressure on Du Xi.

Du Xun first checked his crossbow, loaded the arrows, and slowly shot them one by one with a calm face.

At first, everyone was waiting for Du Raid to call him big brother, but when Du Raid shot nine arrows without dropping an arrow, everyone was surprised, this guy is not weak!

The last arrow is gone.

I saw Du Raid gently pull the trigger, and the arrow left quickly.

"Shot!" Everyone exclaimed.

It's a pity that when this arrow was shot in the bull's-eye, it shook off one of the arrows that was originally shot, and the result could only be counted as nine.

Du Xun sighed in frustration, very dissatisfied with himself.

Zang Ba came over and patted Du Xian's shoulder and said, "Not bad, brother! ”

Hearing that Zang Ba had regarded himself as a brother, Du Xun immediately thanked him: "Thank you, big brother!" ”

After inspection, although Du Raid, Yin Li, and Chen Ying also shot nine arrows, Du Raid's arrows were more stable and pierced deeper than others, Chen Ying was second, and Yin Li was the last.

So the ranking also came out, Zang Ba was the boss, Du Xi was the second, Chen Ying was the third, and Yin Li was the oldest of the four, and finally became the fourth. But Yin Li obviously doesn't care about this, the important thing is that they are all brothers!

So the four of them took incense paper, burned incense and worshipped, worshiped heaven and earth and made an alliance of blood, and became brothers of the opposite sex!

Since then, it has been known as the four brothers of martial arts.

The four of them called each other together, and at the same time did not forget to thank Zhao Yun for the proposal, and were grateful to Zhao Yun!

It was supposed to be a big banquet to celebrate, but the big battle was imminent, and the four of them knew the priorities, so they immediately suppressed the matter, and then led the sergeant to continue practicing.

Perhaps because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, in the following exercises, not only did the four of them improve their grades quickly, but even the other sergeants seemed to have been infected, and they all made rapid progress.

Half a day to practice repeating crossbows, and half a day to practice riding lanterns. But they are all bold people, the grasp of the lantern is much faster than the repeater, only a few unlucky people did not control the speed when landing, and received some minor injuries, but these do not affect the overall situation, with the production of the lantern on the top, the destruction of the city is coming.
