"Oh? It's okay. Seventy steps back and forth, although he failed to hit the bull's-eye, if he was alive, he would have been hit by an arrow in the torso. An officer said.

But soon questions were raised.

"This kind of quasi-head strength...... The veterans in our army who are a little more trained can also do it, and it's nothing! ”。

"Yes! Oh, yes! If this is the case, it will not have any advantage over the Mongols' bows and arrows...... You must know that the battlefield can be sent with a rain of arrows! A wave of throwing down, what you want is range and strength, but this is not a lot of cases within seventy steps! ”。

Long Xiang smiled and handed over the crossbow machine: "Don't be impatient!" Look at this crossbow! ”。

"Oh?" Although he didn't understand what the dragon elephant meant, the officer still grabbed the crossbow string and pulled it hard according to the posture of pulling the crossbow machine at ordinary times!

"Huh?!" A look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face!

Before everyone could ask, the officer was already very excited, and asked repeatedly, "Long Yishi!" This crossbow! This crossbow! How can this crossbow be so effortless?! ”。

Long Xiang smiled: "This is the biggest advantage of this new type of crossbow machine!" Save labour! Get started quickly! This special eccentric wheel design allows the crossbowman to pull the string without having as much force as before! This means that heavy crossbows, which used to be only possible for sergeants with great strength, can now be easily used even by ordinary recruits! Have you ever thought about it...... If this kind of crossbow machine is ten percent in Xiangyang City, no! In fact, as long as there is a six-to-seventy-percent equipment rate! So when the Mongols attacked the city, what a dense rain of arrows would they have to face?! ”。

After turning this simple compound crossbow in the hands of many high-level people in Xiangyang, everyone was excited!

They are all people in the military, and everyone present understands what the popularization of this new type of crossbow machine will mean!

This also means that a strong crossbowman who can only be selected from 1 out of 10 miles will only need ordinary recruits to be able to do it in the future! If this crossbow machine expands its strength proportionally...... Does that mean that the original crossbowman can shoot enemies at a longer distance? Then the Mongol cavalry threat was naturally reduced a lot!

When the time comes, you will come to the siege and play what kind of cavalry and archery...... It's a big deal, let's shoot! Anyway, it's not Song Junguang who died this time! You Mongols have to stay some too!

Fight for the head, my Da Song has never been afraid of anyone!

The blood of the officers boiled.

In the end, it was the Xiangyang guard who thought through and understood that the dragon elephant was not a person who gave it away for free, so he asked: "This dragon righteous man, you have made a merit in offering a new crossbow machine today, I don't know if you have any requirements?" ”。

That's what you're waiting for. The dragon elephant said secretly in his heart.

On the surface, of course, he was silent, and he arched his hand and said: "Don't hide it, my lord, Long just wants to do this crossbow machine business!" I want to open a workshop in this Yangyang City to produce exclusively! ”。

"This ......" As soon as they heard the dragon elephant's request, everyone immediately hesitated.

Although a large proportion of military equipment is now procured, in addition to some official manufactures, in what era, who can do this arms business is not a person with a deep background?

With a dragon elephant of unknown origin, alone, holding a new weapon and about to open a workshop, there are really not many people who can stand on their feet!

"This ordnance order was decided by the senior officials of the DPRK and China, and it was allocated to Xiangyang after the unified purchase...... We also ......" The guard was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but Long Xiang interrupted him: "My lord, slow down, this matter is very important, and there are many manufacturing methods of militaristic weapons in Long's hands!" Why don't we go to the Lord's Mansion and talk about it in detail? ”。

The dragon elephant gave the guard a clear "You know!" with his eyes. ".

The guard general is worthy of being the person who has achieved this official position, and he immediately understood it, and immediately changed his words: "This ...... Good! I just want to hear what those sharp weapons against Tartars are like! In the evening, I prepared food and drinks at home, and welcomed Long Yishi to come! ”。

Everyone present also understood this.

I'm afraid that Guo Jing is the only one who doesn't understand.

……

The next day, the Xiangyang guard general went to the imperial court to apply for the opening of an armory workshop for the righteous warrior Longxiang.

Just three days later, Long Xiang bought a compound in Xiangyang City, set up iron furnaces, lathes, hired carpenters, blacksmiths, hundreds of experienced bow and crossbow craftsmen, and hundreds of apprentices, and rumbled to open!

In Xiangyang City, few people know that in fact, once opened, this armory workshop, which was convenient for the Xiangyang defenders to order and sell thousands of new crossbows, had several percent of the shares of many high-ranking officials in Xiangyang City!

But those high-ranking officials don't know either.

Long Xiang began to expand in Xiangyang City and even the surrounding area under the cover and financial resources of the so-called Armory Workshop...... The countless displaced refugees caused by the years of war between the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia have become the highest hotbed for the development of the dragon elephant bloodline.

When I woke up in the cold wind, I found that my children had died of cold and starvation, and I hated the men and women in the prime of this world.

Both parents died, pulling young siblings to struggle for survival, seeing the rich people in the city stink of wine and meat, but he is still starving and freezing teenagers.

The land was snatched by the big squires, and it seems that they can't survive this year's ordinary farmers.

There are even prisoners on death row who are depressed and waiting to die because they rebelled against the wolf-like tax collectors.

Quietly.

The dragon elephant brought this group of people together with financial resources and organization...... With no sparing of martial arts secrets and training funds, a part of the dead soldiers who were converted into blood clans quietly took shape, hiding in the secret rooms that were constantly being built secretly......

Months.

Fledgling!

……

On this day, under the encouragement of the maid, Huang Rong, who had not left the mansion for a long time to relax, left the Guo Mansion with the maid and went to the beautiful river in Xiangyang City to relax.

When they walked to a secluded place, a cry for help came from a remote courtyard.

The ordinary woman only brought a maid, and naturally she didn't dare to speak out when she encountered this, so she hurriedly retreated.

But how could Huang Rong, who is a son and daughter of martial arts, be afraid?

After instructing the maid to wait in place, Huang Rong had a little luck, and came to the outside of the secluded house in a few days, but the cry for help in the courtyard became clearer and clearer.

In a hurry, Huang Rong, who was smart and clever, didn't notice the hesitant and tangled expression of her maid when she looked at her back......

Gently leap into the yard.

Huang Rong quickly judged that the cry for help was from the big house in the courtyard that looked a little dilapidated.

Quietly approached, poked a small hole in the paper window in the corner of the room, Huang Rong looked into it: there were a lot of miscellaneous items in the house, and an old wooden bed was placed near the corner, and a young and delicate woman was pressed on the bed by a figure and was desperately calling for help......

Adulterous thieves?

I don't know why Huang Rong also thinks of Ouyang Ke.

There is only one person on the other side, and it is obvious that he is not skilled in martial arts when he is struggling to deal with a woman.

Huang Rong was no longer hiding, she directly slapped open the door of the house and rushed into the house, jumped to the edge of the bed with one body, and threw the man on the bed to the ground with the back of her neck with her bare hands!

"Hands-on !!" The man who was thrown hard suddenly shouted something that made Huang Rong feel bad!
