Chapter 104: If a Crossbow Array Is Deployed (the New Book Needs Everyone’s Support)

Bao Zheng trembled and called Zhe Kexing over and asked, "I have seen crossbows back then, but they didn't go that far and couldn't break an iron pot. Tell me, how is this crossbow?"

Zhe Kexing blurted out: "This is the great weapon of the Song Dynasty to control the country!"

Bao Zheng stared at Zhe Kexing, who nodded firmly.

"I believe it!" Bao Zheng immediately shouted to Yao Lian: "Bring it here!"

The old man took the crossbow and looked at it, and then he started to take off his clothes and belt, and wrapped the crossbow in his official uniform.

He had an iron pot in one hand and a crossbow in the other, but he was dumbfounded when he saw the horse.

Shen An had no choice but to help him onto the horse, and then asked: "Are you going to enter the palace?"

"You guys are coming too."

The group slowly returned to the city and entered the palace all the way.

As soon as Zhao Zhen finished the discussion and heard that Bao Zheng asked for an audience, he drank a bowl of tea to calm his anger.

"His Majesty!"

As soon as he entered the palace, Bao Zheng was so excited that he almost burst into tears. Zhao Zhen was so frightened that he stood up suddenly, thinking that something big had happened.

The old man is trying to create an atmosphere for me to express my merits!

Shen An also came in, but Zhe Kexing was blocked outside.

Bao Zheng slowly untied his official robe, and then picked up the crossbow.

"crossbow?"

Zhao Zhen's heart moved and he looked at Shen An.

Shen An specially applied for an old craftsman who made crossbows. After struggling for a few days, is there any result?

"Your Majesty, two hundred steps, two hundred steps!"

Along the way, Bao Zheng had been taught the knowledge of bows and crossbows by Zhe Kexing, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Your Majesty, this is the sacred weapon of the Song Dynasty!"

"The divine weapon that governs the country?"

Zhao Zhen came over to take a look and even tried to wind it.

Shen An taught him a lesson on the side, and Zhao Zhen succeeded.

"How far can it be?"

In Zhao Zhen's impression, those who can control crossbows are strong soldiers.

But now he can actually do it. This is because my body is still strong and powerful, or this crossbow is not worthy of its name.

Not everyone can take on the title of national artifact.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Bao Zheng said, "Your Majesty, please ask someone to come and try."

"Then give it a try."

After a while of commotion, everyone came to the back of Yanhe Hall.

Here is a rectangular open space with just the right distance.

A group of guards blocked Zhao Zhen's side, and Shen An and Zhe Kexing were squeezed outside.

Zhe Katsuyuki didn't feel aggrieved, but instead felt a little excited about participating in something big.

He glanced at Shen An, who looked indifferent, and while feeling ashamed, he couldn't help but admire him.

They are all about the same age. Shen An can outsmart the prime minister and kill Liao and Xixia people. This is probably a first-class genius.

But he can actually improve the crossbow, this...

He only felt that Shen An's back looked much taller, and he was secretly happy that he was on good terms with Shen An.

"Get out of the way!"

Chen Zhongheng triumphantly pushed aside the crowd, and when he was about to flatter Zhao Zhen and ask Zhao Zhen to take action, Shen An said: "Your Majesty, this..."

He pointed to the target in the distance with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Chen Zhongheng wanted to slap himself instantly.

At such a long distance, what if the official misses his shot? Shame on you!

Zhao Zhen looked at Shen An with relief, feeling that this young man could always take the overall situation into consideration, so he said, "Come on."

Shen An cupped his hands and said, "Although I am not incompetent, I am far from being brave. However, there is a magic archer here."

"Oh! Who?"

Zhao Zhen asked lightly.

Shen An kicked Zhe Kexing out with one kick, and then winked and said, "Your Majesty, I have seen the archery skills passed down by Zhe Kexing from his family. It is amazing!"

Zhao Zhen looked over and knew what Shen An's move meant.

This is reconciling contradictions.

The Zhe family in Fuzhou was suppressed too much. Zhe Jizu came to Beijing and blatantly asked to remove his armor. This was a backlash.

Have you passed?

Zhao Zhen has thought very clearly these past few days, and it has indeed passed.

If the Zhe family really wants to let go, according to the prime ministers and ministers, the Xixia people will probably go crazy laughing, and then they will definitely take the opportunity to take advantage of it.

So the matter was compromised quietly. At least the Linfu Road side will have less control over the Zhe family in the future, and the money and food they should be given will be given.

This was a revision of the ancestral law, and the ministers and ministers were very dissatisfied, even more dissatisfied than he, the emperor.

He knows why.

The civil servants hoped that the military would never be able to turn over, and they could not give them any hope at all.

But he is the emperor!

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen nodded slightly.

Shen An said with a playful smile: "Your Majesty, it was Zhe Kexing's idea that I could make this crossbow."

"okay."

Zhe Kexing looked at Shen An blankly, his eyes gradually becoming moist.

Brother Anbei, you are giving me your credit, for me and for the Zhe family!

He walked over, and two guards immediately followed him.

He picked up the crossbow, easily strung it, and hung the crossbow arrows.

He raised the crossbow and felt that his vision was a little blurry, so he lowered his head and shook his head vigorously.

Two tears fell to the ground.

Zhao Zhen was watching, and someone beside him whispered to him how the distance of two hundred steps was incredible for a single crossbow.

"...If it can really break through armor at two hundred steps, Your Majesty, this is really the divine weapon of the Song Dynasty..."

With a bang, the crossbow arrows were fired.

Zhao Zhen watched nervously, but the trajectory of the crossbow arrow could not be seen with the naked eye.

The first arrow missed...

The second arrow still missed, but it was just a hair’s breadth.

The third arrow...

"bingo!"

After a shout, a guard ran out from the side of Xiliang Palace next to the arrow target in front.

The guard ran to the archery target. He was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Most of the armor is in!"

Zhao Zhen remembered what the guards had said about the range of the crossbows in the army, so he covered his head and said, "This... is this true?"

Zhe Kexing had already wound the string, and then shouted towards the front: "Get out of the way!"

The crossbow arrows were fired again...

Zhao Zhen saw the ecstatic faces of the guards and asked, "What's going on?"

He was very happy, UU reading www.uukanshu. net But these guards were overjoyed.

A guard turned around and said: "Your Majesty, the crossbowmen in the army must be strong, otherwise they cannot pull the string, but this crossbow can be easily stringed. Your Majesty..."

Zhao Zhen was a little stunned.

Shen An said reservedly at the side: "If we set up a crossbow array..."

Quickly cock the bow, and then cover it with dense crossbow arrows.

Zhao Zhen clenched his fists and looked at Zhe Kexing in front of him who was still winding and firing, and his mood couldn't help but agitate.

"good!"

"Here comes someone!"

The emperor's glowing face made people happy.

"Reward! Big reward!"

Zhao Zhen, who had just spoken, seemed to feel that this was not enough reward. He smiled and said: "Let Zhe Qing stay in the capital for a few more days, and I will hold a banquet for him here."

Is this enough?

Zhe Kexing couldn't believe his ears.

Shen An coughed dryly and said, "Why don't you thank me quickly?"

With Zhao Zhen's words, those civil servants will not be able to make any mistakes this time.

Just as Zhe Kexing knelt down, Zhao Zhen looked at Shen An with a playful look.

Shen An said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this crossbow has nothing to do with me. I have been in seclusion for three days to make crossbows. My sister at home has cried several times. Please excuse me."

Zhao Zhen said calmly: "I heard that your sister is smart, do you want me to send two people from the palace to help you take care of her?"

This is a temptation!

"I don't dare."

Who knows what mission the person sent will have. Shen An is not stupid and doesn't want to be stared at.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Go ahead. I will remember your contribution to this matter. Young man... you must serve the country more. I hope to see the day when you become a pillar."

This promise is incredible, and it is also the emperor's wish.

In an instant, countless envious eyes flooded Shen An.
