Xia Fan is not surprised that there is a gap in this world about firearms and crossbows, people here put almost all their thoughts on their own cultivation, and their own force is the most recognized power. In this land, any ordinary mortal warrior can pull a hard bow of more than 100 catties, and if his strength is insufficient, he will practice desperately, and naturally no one will consider things like clever light crossbows.

Although he graduated from a third-rate university, Xia Fan is also an engineering student, and with his own understanding and cognition, there is no problem in designing a bow and crossbow. And the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, which is related to his own life, Xia Fan's design is quite high-quality. In order to be lighter, the moon bow is made of cork, the crossbow arm is made of hardwood, and the shape of the crossbow arm Xia Fan chose to design according to the shape of the rifle, which is stable and fitting. The internal bracket is made of iron, and the components such as the lookout and trigger are designed to be delicate but not complicated. What is unusual is that Xia Fan designed a set of slides inside the crossbow arm, and the moon bow is embedded in the crossbow arm through the slide buckle vertically through the fixed rod, so that the moon bow can slide freely on the crossbow arm. The lower end of the fixed rod is in the shape of a pedal, and when the moon bow is wound, the moon bow is first slid along the slide to the end of the crossbow arm to hang the string, and then the moon bow is pushed with the pedal until it falls into the card slot at the front end of the crossbow arm to complete the winding. In this way, Xia Fan can not only quickly complete the winding with the pedal and arm lifting, and move flexibly, but also can withstand the tension of the moon bow quite well, and the power should not be weak, Xia Fan complacently called it a crossbow.

According to Xia Fan, Dang Ming also completed the production of those small metal parts in a jewelry craftsman shop, and the next afternoon Dang Ming sent all the objects designed by Xia Fan to Xia Fan. Xia Fan carefully inspected each part and was very satisfied.

Xia Fan didn't rush to assemble it, but first handed the bow and crossbow to Dang Ming's hand, and asked, "Brother Dangming, do you see how many catties of bowstring can you withstand with the material of this bow?"

"So you want to use a bow and arrow?" Dang Minghu suspiciously took the bow and crossbow from Xia Fan's hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "A string full of two or three hundred catties is no problem, but the bow length is only two feet five, isn't it a little smaller?"

"It's okay, it seems that this material is not bad!" Xia Fan was quite surprised, but how did he know that this kind of bow was extremely light in this world, Xia Fan thought for a while and said, "Please go and buy me a bowstring with a full bow of about one hundred and eighty catties." ”

"One hundred and eighty catties, can you pull it?" Dang Ming looked at Xia Fan with disdain, although the bowstring of this weight was already very light.

"Don't worry about this when Brother Ming is big, just buy it. Xia Fan smiled disappretently, according to his own design, and it is mainly based on leg pedaling force, the weight of one hundred and eighty pounds Xia Fan estimated that he could still play.

When Ming took the trouble to leave again, Xia Fan happily played with the device he had designed and began to assemble it. It didn't take long for the crossbow to be assembled, the bow was two feet five inches long, the arm was three feet six inches long, the shape was domineering, and it was well-made.

Soon Dang Ming came back with the bowstring, personally helped Xia Fan to put the bowstring up, and then weighed this strange weapon with great interest, but after some swinging and pulling, he couldn't figure out how to use this thing.

"......" Xia Fan had been looking at Dang Ming speechlessly for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say lightly, "Have you had enough fun? ”

"What are you talking about? Are you kid or not human?" Dang Ming looked at Xia Fan in shock, "Still five silver refiners?" I have been running around for the past two days, not to mention, the materials and wages for making this thing are all paid in advance! Do you know how much money was spent in total? There are only three silver refining for one bowstring, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet, so you dare to ask me for money?"

"Okay, don't look for it. Xia Fan generously intercepted Dang Ming's words, took the crossbow and walked out.

“...... Do you still want to be shameless?" Dang Mingqi chased Xia Fan out without fighting.

Usually a slightly larger mercenary guild will be equipped with a martial arts arena for past mercenary training, sparring or mission drills, and the mercenary guild in Chenxin City obviously has this scale.

Xia Fan and Dangming came to the martial arts arena, it was getting late, and there was no one else in the martial arts arena, which was exactly what Xia Fan wanted.

Xia Fan took a quiver from the weapon rack and carried it on his back, and then selected a wooden stake a hundred meters away, exerted force with his hands and legs, and wound the moon bow, although he was full of confidence before, but at this time Xia Fan still found that the tension of this bowstring was a little heavy for him, and it seemed that he still lacked exercise and strength.

However, Xia Fan has no intention of replacing the bowstring, Xia Fan knows very well that he must let this effort promote his rapid growth, otherwise he will not be able to go far at all.

Wound up the arrow, Xia Fan calmly aimed at the target and gently pulled the trigger.

"Whoosh!" "Bang!"

The arrow was nailed into the chest and abdomen of the wooden stake, and it was extremely deep into the wood!

The accuracy and strength are beyond Xia Fan's imagination, you must know that the wooden stakes used by mercenaries to practice slashing are hard and extremely durable, which shows that the strength of Xia Fan's crossbow can definitely shoot through the human body.

The first blow hit, Xia Fan immediately wound the arrow again, the whole process was only three seconds, and the second arrow had been shot!

This speed is not slow, but the accuracy of this arrow is much worse, and it did not hit the wooden man at all, but it flew two or three hundred meters flat, which shows the strength of the force. The reason why an arrow shot into the air was naturally because Xia Fan deliberately pursued speed, and pulled the trigger almost without aiming. However, this effect has already made Xia Fan very satisfied, and as long as he practices more and masters every movement, his speed and accuracy will naturally increase in a balanced manner.

Dang Ming on the side saw all this in his eyes and nodded secretly, although Dang Ming did not dare to agree with Xia Fan's weapon, but he clearly knew that this was of great significance to Xia Fan, with this weapon, Xia Fan, who did not have any martial arts foundation, could already confront a mortal warrior head-on, and in the next battle, Xia Fan already had considerable self-protection ability.

"Ahem...... How can I say it......" Dang Ming looked at Xia Fan again and again, "It is already very good to be able to do this in such a short period of time, but I hope you don't ignore that personal strength is the fundamental matter, it is good to be able to solve the urgent need, but the long-term plan is even more important." ”

"Thank you Brother Dangming for teaching, I remember it in my heart. Xia Fan said meaningfully, "But now it's time to catch ducks on the shelves, and you haven't given me a chance to pursue long-term, otherwise let's discuss and discuss letting me retreat and practice for ten or eight years?" Xia Fan was naturally complaining that the Wuhu Tuan forced himself into the water.

"Ahem......" Dang Ming also knew that he was wrong, and immediately changed the subject, "It's time for dinner, right?"

"Tsk!" Xia Fan said lightly, "You guys eat, I'll practice for a while." ”

"Okay, good ......" When Mingru was amnestied, he hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of his feet, leaving Xia Fan himself in the martial arts arena.

When Ming returned to his residence with a sigh of relief, Wu Hu and the others were gathering together to chat, and when they saw Dang Ming coming back alone, everyone couldn't help but wonder.

"Eh, what about the kid, you can't run away without looking, right?" said Kui Sheng with a grin.

"Where can he run if he is allowed to run?" Dong Sleepy laughed, "I can catch him back when I fall asleep." ”

Dang Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's not true, little brother Xia Fan is practicing the use of new weapons alone in the martial arts arena." ”

"Oh?" the news surprised everyone, and Wu Hu asked, "What do you think of that kid?"

When Ming thought for a while, he shook his head and said, "From the point of view of physique, the martial arts are extremely poor, and it can be called a waste material, but he knows some strange and ingenious skills, and he still has the power to protect himself, but it is only a sword that goes sideways, and it is not a climate." ”

"......" Wuhu snorted lightly and said, "Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, it is not that we are ruthless, just because of the number of fate, this is his fate, who let him enter Xiaoluo's carriage without long eyes." ”

Kui Sheng replied loudly, "That's it, he should have been clicked on the spot!" But now we can be regarded as giving him a chance to live, whether he dies or lives depends on his own ability, and we are not to blame for dying." ”

"Haalas, it's just a clan war, if this kind of scene can't survive, then he won't have a few days to live, it's better to die early and be born sooner. "The building is sleepy and yawns.

"Hmph. Soqi snorted indifferently.

"......," Dangming smiled bitterly, "Okay, you're all right." ”

......

The three-day period is coming in a blink of an eye, Wuhu and the others are all ready, Xia Fan said goodbye to Yingluo with heart, and was dragged directly to the south gate of the royal city by everyone in the Wuhu mercenary group.

There was a long queue outside the south gate of Wangcheng, it seemed that the Wuhu Mercenary Regiment was not too early, and after checking the positive back, everyone of the Wuhu Group was also allowed to enter the south gate of Wangcheng. However, as soon as they entered the South Gate schoolyard, Wu Hu and the others couldn't help but be secretly shocked in their hearts, only to see the crowd crowded, and it was initially estimated that there were probably 2,000 mercenaries recruited by the Yanchen clan this time! It was absolutely rare to recruit so many mercenaries at one time, and everyone secretly guessed what kind of big move the Yanchen clan was going to make.

At noon, the south gate of the main city suddenly rumbled and closed, and suddenly many people's faces changed slightly, they were all experienced mercenaries, with a strong sense of crisis, and when they saw that the road was blocked, those who acted cautiously would naturally be vigilant in their hearts.

At this time, I only heard the rumbling of the inner city gate, everyone looked intently, only to see the inner city gate slowly opened, and a team of powerful and powerful iron armor halberd guards lined up from the inner city gate.

Kang You paced to the center of the school field, and the iron guard behind him walked sonorously in front of the mercenary crowd, brazenly lined up, and stood in front of the mercenary crowd with great intimidation.

Kang You sat on his horse, his eyes scanned the mercenary crowd sharply, and he intended to deter him, although many people were not afraid, but it made the audience calm and the atmosphere was solemn. I only heard Kang You suddenly speak loudly and shouted, "Si Zheng has arrived!"

The horn sounded, the guard was strictly orderly, the young general of the two golden armor and golden helmets mounted on the divine horse opened the way in front, and a group of generals and ministers in the rear followed by Gongsu, among them, one of them rode slowly from the main city in the inner city under the support of everyone, only to see a person sitting on the chariot, brocade robe and feathers, Huaguan gold belt, more than sixty years old, respectful, majestic and dignified.

Looking at such a battle from afar, everyone couldn't help but look awe-inspiring, even Xia Fan couldn't help but look serious, and asked Dang Ming in a low voice, "What is the origin of that person?

Dang Ming shook his head lightly and said in a low voice, "This person is Sha Ze, the chief of the Mourning Minister, and the important minister of the Mourning Dynasty second only to the monarch, under one person, above ten thousand!"
