Chen Sheng's self-confidence is based on facts. For Chen Sheng. Bows and arrows are not made by famous artists to be good. It's the best one to use for yourself.

Chen Sheng's sidearm. Basically, the old blacksmith and Fan Wei in Panyu City forged together. The old blacksmith in the skill of smelting swords. It can almost be described as a grandmaster. A forged sword. Blowing off hair. And tenacious. Chen Sheng is not good at using a bow. But with a crossbow is a first-class good hand. Chen Sheng personally designed a drawing of a bow and crossbow. Give it to the old blacksmith to build. It lasted more than a month. A pair of crossbows that could shoot five arrows in quick succession came out.' The range of the shot covers a hundred zhang. The lethality and 'fine' accuracy are extremely high.

If it weren't for the fact that the cost of this bow and crossbow would be too high. Chen Sheng has already promoted this kind of mass killing weapon in the army. The cost of each bow is about one hundred and fifty gold. In addition, the crossbow arrows equipped with the special 'door' are also expensive. A crossbow bolt costs half a gold. A set of bows and crossbows equipped with a hundred crossbow arrows. The total cost reached 200 gold. And two hundred gold. That's enough to build fifteen pieces of armor for the Qin army. And after getting the bow and crossbow. Chen Sheng also asked the craftsman to polish a thing called a "scope" out of transparent glass and equip it on the bow and crossbow. This has made the cost of bows and crossbows skyrocket. Even if Chen Sheng has the heart to promote. The Qin army could not afford to be armed with such weapons.

But Chen Sheng himself is not stingy. Also waved a big hand. Dig out a large sum of gold to arm your own 'private' army, the Black Fox Battalion. For now. The forging efficiency of the old blacksmith has been greatly improved. In addition, Chen Sheng sent a lot of people to assist. But only about 10 finished products can be produced in a month. Currently in the Black Fox camp. Nor can it be widely used. I had to take turns to adapt to it in batches. for training purposes.

And so far. The warriors of the Black Fox Battalion. I don't know how strong the effect of this crossbow will be. Chen Sheng when designing this bow and crossbow. But I expected that one day the gunpowder would be able to produce stably. And the firearm gun is not something that can be invented with the current technology. Then the explosives can only be hung on the crossbow arrows. When the rocket 'shoots' hit. Believe that when that time comes. Any enemy that encounters a dense attack by the Black Fox Battalion with bows and crossbows. will lose a lot.

Wang Li will be skeptical of his teacher's words. Chen saw that he didn't believe it. So he asked Zhan Zhao to fetch his bow and crossbow. Let the king leave himself to observe.

Wang Li came from a military family. Although young. But the familiarity with weapons is not bad for veterans who have fought in the army for many years. Take a look at this black, oily crossbow bolt. His eyes lit up.

Since the Warring States period. The bow and crossbow have come a long way. And among the Qin army. There is also an army of crossbowmen. He was once a terrifying killer of the 'elite' cavalry of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong.

And Chen Sheng's bow and crossbow. It's completely different from the bow and crossbow that Wang Li has seen before. The main body of this bow is made of hardwood. And the middle is hollow. It can hold five specially made crossbow arrows. Besides. There were as many as five bowstrings. When using. The five strings can be pulled to the control strings to point out. And the arrows inside will pop out. Just buckle the pivot. can be sent in bursts. The only fly in the ointment is. Between bursts. It's not all in one go. Each interval takes about three to five breaths. But this time. It's much faster than the time it takes to reload your crossbow after 'shooting' it.

To know. If the archer is facing the enemy horse. After the enemy enters the strike range. A bow and arrow is about capable of 'shooting' three to four arrows. And the crossbow only has two arrows at most. The enemy rode in front of him. That's why crossbow bolts are so lethal.' The reason why shooting can't replace the bow and arrow. But. If there is a crossbow team that can fire five arrows in a row. It is faster than a bow and arrow. But it has the efficiency of a crossbow 'shooting' kill. The enemy is in the process of charging and killing. Losses will increase several times.

"Good stuff." After listening to Chen Sheng's explanation. Wang Li's breathing was much heavier. He took a moment before he said, "If the army of the Frontier is armed with such a crossbow. Then the cavalry of the Hu people will never be useful."

Hearing Wang Li's emotion. Chen Sheng was very pleased. After all, he is a son of a family of military generals. It immediately occurred to me where this bow could be used to its greatest effect.

"So. Teacher. You're going to have to work hard tomorrow. Listen to my dad. Every year in the middle of the hunt. The winner of the hunt. can be rewarded by the emperor."

Chen Sheng smiled. said: "Tomorrow hunting. I don't know how many riders are 'shooting' masters. Just get involved. The Emperor's reward is not so easy to obtain."

"It's not like that." Wang Li smiled mysteriously. said, "You may not know. Every year the reward is different. This year's reward is very different from previous years. According to the news that came out. It is said that the emperor was able to fulfill one of the wishes of the winner." Wang Li said in a low voice, "Teacher. Don't you have a lot of ideas that have been detained by the prime minister? If you win...... "Wang Li is very clever. Speaking of which. And he was silent.

Chen Sheng frowned slightly. It was the first time he had participated in such a hunting tournament. I don't understand the rules. And I hadn't heard beforehand that the emperor would have any ingenious rewards this year. Chen Sheng was very suspicious of this.

"Where did you get what you heard?" Chen Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"This ...... I've heard about it anyway. Teacher. I can't lie to you." Wang Li's face was embarrassed, and he patted his chest. Said: "Teacher. I guarantee that the source of my news is absolutely true. But. Everyone has a little little secret. Right?" Wang Li said slyly.

Looking at the bow in Wang Li's hand. Chen Sheng was thoughtful. A smile appeared on his face. "I see."

Wang Li was relieved. Exhale a breath of turbidity. said, "You understand."

Chen Sheng smiled slightly. The source of Wang Li's news is not difficult to find. On the way to the hunting garden. Chen Sheng didn't hear Wang Li mention anything related. But at night, he was recruited by the emperor into the palace and rewarded with a bow. And they came to him. Lend Chen Sheng the bow that the emperor had given him. And also leaked such a news.

The source of this news. I'm afraid it's His Majesty the Emperor. It's just that Chen Sheng is puzzled. Why do you want to convey such a message to him through Wang Li. The emperor wants to be the first in the hunt himself. But why?

Reminiscing about Wang Li's words. Chen Sheng found the key point. Suddenly, I remembered a few recent letters to the emperor. The chapters are all about the benefits of opening the school and the imperial examination. But after the emperor read these chapters. When it is sent to the Prime Minister's Office for deliberation. was vetoed by the prime minister. Obviously. Perhaps the emperor was very pleased with his recital. But because of the prime minister's affection. Unwilling to directly veto the authority of the prime minister. Just find a step. So that the Prime Minister's Office could not object. And you can let your own political deeds be carried out.
