The Divine Arm Bow is a famous bow in the Song Dynasty, which has been lost in later generations, and Liu Ziqiu is only famous, and has not seen what it looks like. What he told He Hou at the beginning was that he wanted him to make a new strong bow with strength comparable to that of a hard bow, but as easy to use as a soft bow. If this bow really meets Liu Ziqiu's requirements, there is nothing wrong with calling it a divine arm bow. Just now he pulled it, and it was indeed effortless, and the request for the soft bow had been met. But whether it is enough for the six-stone hard bow will not be known until it has been tried. But Liu Ziqiu's archery skills are very poor, but he doesn't want to be ugly in front of He Chou. Moreover, this bow was originally made for Mu Duoli, so he showed it to her, an expert, for herself.

Mu Duoli muttered, "Divine Arm Bow? Doesn't that mean that this bow has a lot of power? How many stones are there? ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled: "It seems to be six stones, I don't know." ”

Mu Duoli was a little disappointed and said, "Master, I can't pull the bow of the six stones. This bow can only be seen and cannot be used. ”

Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Without investigation, there is no right to speak." You haven't tried it, how do you know it won't work? ”

Mu Duoli held the bow and hesitated, not daring to pull it. Archery is her proudest skill, in the Mobei grassland, many heroes can't compare to her, but it is already very reluctant for her to pull out the three-stone bow, let alone the six-stone bow? If you can't pull it away, won't you be laughed at by Liu Ziqiu.

Liu Ziqiu smiled and encouraged: "Give it a try." If you really can't pull it away, I won't laugh at you. If you don't, then go back to Willingtown and pick up the baby. ”

Mu Duoli gritted her teeth and pulled hard, and the bow turned into an exaggerated circle: "Master, you lie to others, how can this bow have six stones, and one stone is about the same." ”

Liu Ziqiu said lightly: "If there are six stones, you will know if you shoot an arrow." ”

"Good!" Now that she was able to pull the bow, Mu Duoli's confidence increased. The quiver and arrow target in the yard are ready-made, Mu Duoli took out a carved wolf tooth arrow and gently put it on the bow, shot it according to the arrow target, and said coquettishly: "Go!" ”

The feather arrow flew out with a "whoosh", hitting the red heart on the target and not going in.

Liu Ziqiu stroked his palms and said: "Good archery!" Mu Duoli, your archery skills have improved again. ”

Being able to get Liu Ziqiu's praise, Mu Duoli was full of joy, took the bow, walked over to take a look, and couldn't help but "huh", and said: "Master, I'm afraid this bow is more than six stones!" ”

Liu Ziqiu walked over and took a look, and he was also surprised. The arrow target in his yard is not a grass target used in the barracks, but a human-shaped arrow target made of six layers of hardwood, just to be durable, and also to prevent Mu Duoli's arrows from flying outside. After all, the yard is only so big, and the distance is close, and ordinary targets can be easily shot through, in case of injury to innocent passers-by, it is not good. As for whether Mu Duoli would miss the target, Liu Ziqiu never considered it.

Now, the arrow had penetrated deep into the hardwood, leaving only a short end outside. If this arrow is shot at a person, I am afraid that even if he is wearing the latest armor of the Western Navy, he will be shot through. Liu Ziqiu didn't expect the power of this bow to be so huge, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, and said, "Mu Duoli, you wait here, I'll go get a pair of armor." ”

The armor was put on the arrow target, and Mu Duoli shot another arrow, and the armor was easily pierced. It's just that with the protection of armor, this arrow is not deep into the wood. But if you replace the target with a human, it will be enough to get out of the way. Seeing such an effect, Mu Duoli was also full of surprise: "Master, this bow is really worthy of the word divine arm." ”

Liu Ziqiu smiled and nodded: "Come, try your bead archery technique." ”

Even in the Mobei grassland, where there are many archers, Mu Duoli's ability to shoot five arrows in a row is also a must, and no matter how powerful a male archer is, it is already very remarkable. However, Mu Duoli's continuous arrow technique has one of the biggest weaknesses, that is, she uses a soft bow, which lacks strength, although she can fire five arrows in a row, the damage to the enemy is extremely limited. Male archers, on the other hand, use a hard bow, and even if they master the technique of arrows, they do not have the strength to shoot five arrows in a row. This divine arm bow can be said to be tailor-made by Liu Ziqiu for He Chou for Mu Duoli, of course he wants to see the effect of this bow in the bead archery technique.

Five arrows in a row is a laborious thing, and Mu Duoli will not use it until it is absolutely necessary. But now she obeys Liu Ziqiu's words, even if she just asks her to perform, she will not resist. Mu Duoli took out five feathered arrows from the quiver and clasped them in his hand, and the bow was drawn like a full moon, and shot at the target of the arrow.

It was the first time that Liu Ziqiu calmly observed Mu Duoli's archery skills up close. The five feathered arrows shot out one after another, and in the middle of the process, they turned into five arrows going hand in hand. The moment he approached the target, he was divided into sequences. The last arrow hit the target first, and it was firmly stuck in the heart. The other four arrows then hit the target's head and arm in turn.

Seeing such a miraculous archery skill, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but stroke his hands and praise: "Mu Duoli, you are really worthy of the heroine among women." ”

Mu Duoli put away the bow and said in a coquettish voice: "It's all the bow that the master gave to the slave." ”

Liu Ziqiu laughed and said, "Since I gave you a good bow, how can you thank me?" ”

Mu Duoli's face turned red and said, "The master asked the slave to thank him, and the slave and maid thanked him." ”

Liu Ziqiu reached out and patted her round buttocks lightly twice, and said, "Okay, I'll go to the front to do something first." You wash up well, I'm going to make a full set tonight. Haha, haha......"

The whole set is the whisper of the two of them, but how to do it is not enough for outsiders. Just thinking of Liu Ziqiu's bravery when he was doing a full set, Mu Duoli was hot, and her legs were a little unable to move, as if the entrance of Taoyuan Cave was already a little muddy.

……

He Chou actually wanted to see Liu Ziqiu show his superb archery skills, so he could take the opportunity to make a fart again, but Liu Ziqiu came out of the backyard empty-handed. Even so, He Chou still greeted him with a smile on his face, and arched his hand and said, "Lord, this treasure carving bow made by the lower officials should be used all." ”

"Treasure Bow?" Liu Ziqiu shook his head and said, "This name is too cheesy, Liu has changed his name to the Divine Arm Bow!" ”

"Divine Arm Bow!" He Chou's expression was very exaggerated, and he said in a loud voice, "The lord is really a civil and military all-rounder!" ”

Although Liu Ziqiu knew that he was patting his ass, he was still in a very comfortable mood, and stretched his waist hard, and then said: "Lord He, it costs a lot to make this magic arm bow, right?" How long does it take? ”

He Chou bowed down and said: "Back to the lord, this treasure carving bow, oh, no, it is a divine arm bow worth a thousand gold!" It took six top craftsmen two months to complete. ”

Liu Ziqiu was taken aback and said, "It's so expensive!" It will take so much time! ”

He Chou hurriedly said: "The lord is clear, and the lower officials don't dare to have half a lie." If you don't believe in it, the lord will bring the bow of the divine arm and tell the lord about it. ”

"Now that the Divine Arm Bow is in the hands of Lady Mu Dori, she may not be willing to let go." Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "If you don't do so much decoration, how much does it cost to make only a divine arm bow used by ordinary soldiers, even if the quality is slightly inferior?" How long does it take? ”

He Chou lowered his head and carefully calculated for a long time, and then said: "Back to the lord, if you want to make a divine arm bow for ordinary soldiers, the cost is about 100 gold, and the time will be more than a month. ”

Looking at Liu Ziqiu's contemplative face, He Chou thought in his heart, it turned out that Liu Ziqiu, like Yang Guang, was also a womanizer, and making such a bow was not for his own use, but to please women. However, He Chou did not despise Liu Ziqiu in the slightest, he just found another way to pat Liu Ziqiu's ass. The Ruyi car that made Yang Guang happy back then was made by him, and although the car was destroyed, his skills were not lost.

Of course, Liu Ziqiu didn't know that He Chou was thinking about helping him build another Ruyi car, he thought about it for a long time, and finally said with regret on his face: "Although the Divine Arm Bow is good, the price is too great." He Chou, you better let the craftsmen concentrate on building more crossbows. ”

……

After a few more days, Wen Hao, Zhang Liang, Shi Danai, and Gui Haiqiu successively gathered in the northern suburbs of Xiping with their people. Liu Ziqiu, in the name of Tian Hunting, ordered the blockade of all roads leading to the northern suburbs of Xiping, and those who trespassed were killed. The entire army of 100,000 people is composed of Han people, which is the elite soldiers they have trained in the past six months, and using Han people to conquer the Central Plains is also Liu Ziqiu's bottom line. Among the 100,000 troops, there were 20,000 cavalry, 20,000 crossbowmen, 10,000 sword soldiers, and 50,000 infantry. In order to arm the 100,000-strong army, the people of Hexi counties did not rest for a whole winter, and made great contributions and sacrifices.

At the same time, large quantities of grain and grass also arrived in Xiping, including large quantities of cured meat and fried noodles. The tribes of the West Sea contributed almost half of the cattle and sheep, and the Dangxiang tribes also bought all the wheat except for some seeds. At the same time, there are also a large number of siege equipment accumulated in Xiping. Most of these devices have been dismantled into parts, which can be easily transported and concealed. In order to be able to quickly assemble these siege equipment, a large number of craftsmen also came to Xiping from Weiding City.

Attacking Chang'an, Longxi is the only way. Now Longxi has been completely handed over to the Li family, becoming a buffer zone between Liu Ziqiu and Yang Xuangan. With such a big military operation, Liu Ziqiu naturally wanted to inform the Li family. He didn't expect help from the Li family, he only hoped that the Li family could remain neutral, so that his army could pass through Longxi smoothly and quickly, and it would not affect the logistics and supplies. But the Li family didn't think so, and in the middle of a snowy night, Li Changshan and Li Changfeng, the two old brothers, came to Xiping in person.
