Chapter 203: Test Shot Repeater
After this little trouble, Lan Jing'an and Xiao Qingyun finally temporarily released their suspicions on Li Xie's issue. When the two of them came out of the account, Lan Jing'an's eyes still had a touch of spring. And although Xiao Qingyun still looked majestic, there was a smile on the corner of his lips.
Wu Wei and Biluan, who were waiting for the two of them outside the tent, didn't know what had just happened. It's just that they were afraid that Lan Jing'an would be thin-skinned, so the two of them pretended to know nothing, and instead asked if they wanted to go to the shooting range now. Xiao Qingyun nodded, guarded Lan Jing'an's side, and went to the shooting range together.
When Lan Jing'an and the others arrived at the shooting range, she found that the others had arrived early and were waiting for the two of them. Shen Rongzhi's gaze quickly swept over the two of them, revealing an ambiguous smile. Lan Jing'an felt as if his face was burning, and hurriedly turned his head, avoiding Shen Rongzhi's eyes.
Xiao Qingyun coughed, cleared his throat and said, "Since everything is ready, let's try the power of this repeater." ”
Compared to bows, crossbows are easy to learn and use, and although they have a short range, they have extremely high armor-piercing power at close range. It's just that the biggest problem with the crossbow is that it takes a long time to load the arrows, and it can't be fired continuously, the crossbow arrows shoot once, and the average archer can shoot two or three times, if you meet a top archer like Lan Jing'an, I'm afraid that four or five arrows will go out.
The repeater crossbow designed by Wenliang, although larger than the normal crossbow, can fire ten arrows at a time, which can be regarded as making up for the weakness of the crossbowman to a large extent.
I saw that the grass target had already been erected, and the two crossbowmen, under the command of Wen Liang, each took a crossbow and shot it at the grass target. After a while, I saw that there were ten arrows pierced on each target.
Xiao Qingyun, Lan Jing'an and the others all stepped forward to check. The arrows were eight inches long, made of bronze and iron, and had wooden rods without feathers. Shoot at the grass target, the depth of the arrow is similar, and the arrow penetrates the target. Seeing this situation, Xiao Qingyun and the others were all surprised.
Xiao Qingyun summoned another ordinary archer and asked the archer and the repeater to fire together to calculate how fast the repeater could be. As a result, the time for the archer to shoot eight arrows, the repeater has completed ten arrows. This made Xiao Qingyun and the others even more satisfied.
Xiao Qingyun walked up to Wen Liang and took the initiative to praise him: "This repeater designed by Mr. Wen is really powerful. During this time, Mr. Hard. ”
How dare Wen Liang be called Mr. Xiao Qingyun, he only said that he should be. Then he told everyone about the advantages and disadvantages of the repeating crossbow one by one, and everyone in the army was impressed by this person. Lan Jing'an saw that Wen Liang had been basking in the scorching sun for a long time, and explained to everyone for a while, his face was not very good, so he sent someone to carry him back to rest.
The generals in the army all saw the power of this repeater, and they all geared up, waiting to equip this repeater in their crossbowmen. Xiao Qingyun saw that there was no problem, so he asked Bai Qingfeng to be in charge of the manufacture of the repeater. Since the bolts supplied with repeaters are shorter and featherless than regular bolts, crossbow bolts also need to be specially crafted. Xiao Qingyun also handed over the matter of the crossbow arrow to Bai Qingfeng.
When Lan Jing'an accompanied Xiao Qingyun back from the shooting range, Xiao Qingyun said excitedly: "Thank you really for this birthday gift, this Wenliang is indeed a treasure." ”
Lan Jing'an also nodded happily: "This is the beginning, he still has a lot of things in his hands." I'm going to go see him later, and by the way, I'll ask him if he wants, and we'll just try to satisfy him. ”
Xiao Qingyun originally planned to visit Wenliang with her, but Zheng Rong asked him to discuss things, so he had to leave first. Lan Jing'an took Biluan to Wenliang, only to see him sitting on a four-wheeled car, staring at the book case in a daze.
Wen Liang saw Lan Jing'an come in and bowed to her. Lan Jing'an sat on the opposite side of the bookcase, praising his repeater for not only being exquisitely designed, but also explaining to everyone today in simple terms and meticulously, which is definitely worthy of the title of Mr. Marshal. Wen Liang listened to her praise, and his pale face showed a slight redness.
Lan Jing'an asked him what his requests and wishes were, and both the marshal and she would try to accommodate him. Wen Liang thought for a while and said, "Not for the time being." But can I ask the Great Priest for one thing? ”
Lan Jing'an nodded: "Mr. Wen, please speak." Wen Liang said shyly: "I'm not very good at dealing with people, and I'm more familiar with utensils than people, I'm afraid that sometimes I anger people without knowing it." I don't know if the chief secretary can agree to the order, for the sake of me as a tool for the cadres, I will spare someone's life. ”
Lan Jing'an smiled: "Mr. Wen is too modest. But I can promise you that. As long as you don't make a big mistake of rebellion, I will protect you and never let anyone harm your life. ”
Wen Liang's eyes lit up, and he snorted: "Thank you for the order, but there is no basis for what you say, I don't know..."
Lan Jing'an saw that he was not at ease enough, and thought that he had not returned to the country now, and there was nothing to give him an iron scroll to avoid death. After thinking about it, he promised to send him a document in a while to ensure that his life was safe.
Wen Liang thanked Lan Jing'an for his kindness, and after the two chatted for a while, Lan Jing'an got up and left.
That night, Wen Liang received the document that Lan Jing'an promised him, only to see that it not only fulfilled his life's request, but also stamped the private seals of Xiao Qingyun and Lan Jing'an, which was not undignified.
Wen Liang carefully put away the paperwork in the safest place, sighed, and Lan Jing'an's appearance resurfaced in his mind.
Just as Wen Liang was thinking about it, suddenly a corner of his tent was opened, and a soldier flashed in. As soon as Wen Liang looked up, he saw his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
I saw that the soldier walked up to Wen Liang, sat down opposite him with a big grin, and poured himself a glass of water. Reaching out and rubbing it on the dough a few times, he said as he rubbed it, "This thing is too uncomfortable to stick to your face." ”
Wen Liang frowned and whispered, "Why are you still in the camp?" Didn't you get out as soon as possible? ”
The soldier replied unceremoniously, "You don't mind my business." What I said earlier, what do you think? In the end, it's inconvenient to get your hands dirty? ”
Wen Liang's face flushed, he couldn't hold back his discomfort, and said, "I won't agree." It's important that you get out of camp and run for your life as soon as possible. ”
Then the soldier stared at Wen Liang with unkind eyes: "Are you stupid in the camp of the dry army?" Or did people pour some ecstasy soup? Don't you know who that man is? It's your father-killer! How can you say you don't do it? ”
Wen Liang endured his anger and whispered, "I don't want to talk to you more. If I say I won't do it, I won't do it. If it had not been you who appeared in my tent, I would have told you all about it. I advise you to stop, don't be so obsessed with it again. ”
I saw that the soldier glared at Wen Liang fiercely: "You are really good!" From today onwards, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge! You and I don't want to be brothers again in this life! With that, he got up and threw down the curtain and went out.
Wen Liang was upset and gasped, eager to tear everything in front of him apart. He asked himself over and over again, why? Why was you born like this? Why can I only live in this dilapidated shell? Why is he always the one who suffers?
The only thing that answered his silent question was a green lantern like a bean and a night of autumn rain.
