The guards were initially prepared to fight to the death.
As a result, without much exertion, they saw that the giant bow on the bed crossbow had slowly opened.
The two guards looked at each other and noticed the surprise in each other's eyes.
Everyone was also staring at the huge bow that was stretched wide by a fist, with shock on their faces.
When they tried to pull it before, five people's teeth were shattered, but they couldn't even pull the giant bow open at all.
Now the two of them were just a fist apart without even taking a breath.
The craftsmen looked frightened.
The thing in front of them has broken their previous understanding of power.
What is certain is that these two guards are definitely not strong men.
It's only because of the presence of those installed pulleys that it's so easy.
"This... can be said to be a miracle." A craftsman muttered in a low voice.
The other craftsmen next to him didn't speak, and stared at the pulleys.
Many people have already thought that if they could go back today, they would study this thing carefully.
This thing is simply a miracle, you can’t miss it.
The emperor was not so excited.
Knowing that pulleys can also be installed on bed crossbows, he already had the answer in his mind.
Three hundred thousand guan, the emperor felt as if his heart was bleeding.
Now he just wants to get the more powerful weapons that Zhao Chen made in the academy.
Otherwise, these 300,000 yuan will really be wasted.
Hou Junji now wanted to turn around and leave.
That three hundred thousand guan is not a small amount of money. With the current situation, the giant bow on this bed crossbow may be fully drawn.
By then, won’t you lose?
Zhao Chen will ask for the 300,000 yuan tomorrow, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to come up with it.
Hou Junji didn't believe that Zhao Chen would let him go.
He was afraid that he just wanted to kill himself.
Before long, everyone saw two guards completely pulling the giant bow on the bed crossbow.
At the right time, a craftsman picked up an arrow that was one foot to five feet long and put it into the groove of the bed crossbow.
The bowstring was engaged at the end of the arrow, the two guards released the rope, and the arrow was instantly taut.
There is a huge machine button on the bed crossbow. You only need to step on the mechanism and the machine button will activate.
At that time, the arrow will shoot out.
"Your Majesty, the giant bow has been drawn!" the two guards reported to the emperor without even taking a breath.
"Try the power!" The emperor waved his hand.
"Yes." The two of them responded.
One of them walked to the crossbow and stepped on the mechanism underneath.
"Snapped--"
There was a sound of a mechanism crashing, and before everyone's eyes, arrows as thick as an adult's arm shot out.
The speed is so fast that you can still hear the faint sound of breaking through the air.
"Snapped--"
"Clang-"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Everyone looked along the sound and saw a giant target a hundred feet away, with the red heart in the middle disappearing.
Only a hollow as thick as an arm was left.
On the wall fifty feet away, arrows penetrated deeply into the wall.
The vibration of the arrow tail is still clearly visible.
"Your Majesty, the arrow penetrated the wall three feet and penetrated the wall. The surrounding green bricks were shattered into powder."
"Clang-"
Before the guard finished speaking, everyone heard a collapse sound.
Looking around, I saw that the wall where arrows were stuck just now suddenly collapsed.
Dust and smoke billowed, and bricks and stones covered the ground.
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
Lao Li put his hands on his hands and laughed, saying three good words in a row, his eyes full of excitement.
Can such a powerful crossbow be a killer weapon on the battlefield?
One hundred and fifty feet, the shot penetrated the target and even the blue brick wall collapsed.
No human body can withstand such penetrating force.
Not to mention skewering five candied haws, even ten, Lao Litou thought it was possible.
All the craftsmen looked frightened.
When the giant bow is drawn, it has such power, which is really frightening.
Hou Junji's face twitched twice.
Zhao Chen actually solved the problem of insufficient power of the bed crossbow so easily?
But the 300,000 yuan had to be taken from Hou Junji's pocket.
"Hou Qing, have you seen that you have contributed a lot to such a powerful bed crossbow. From now on, this weapons supervisor will be handed over to Zhao Chen."
"I believe you and Zhao Chen can live in harmony."
"By the way, go back now and raise money. I don't believe that half a million yuan was used up by your military department in three months." The emperor smiled and waved to Hou Junji.
Hou Junji felt secretly resentful.
The bed crossbow developed by his Ministry of War actually became a nuisance for Hou Junji to pay for.
How ridiculous!
"Yes, I am retiring!" Hou Junji and the emperor said solemnly, without stopping, they turned around and left.
"You guys should go too!" said the emperor and a group of folk craftsmen.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!" The craftsmen also expressed their gratitude.
He surrendered to Zhao Chen again.
If Zhao Chen hadn't solved the problem of the bed crossbow's insufficient power, they might not have been able to leave so easily.
You might even lose your life here.
To a certain extent, Zhao Chen can be regarded as their benefactor.
What's more, when they saw that magical pulley today, they had to go back and explore it quickly.
Everyone left one after another, and the emperor slowly walked to the place where the wall collapsed.
In his hand, he picked up the arrow buried in the bricks on the ground.
Then I saw a deep gap in the arrow cluster.
The arrow clusters were all made of fine iron by the Ministry of Industry, and the swords of the Tang Dynasty soldiers also used this material.
Now the arrow clusters are all broken, which shows how powerful the arrows are when they are launched.
If this happens to someone.
"Zhao Chen..." The emperor turned around and looked at Zhao Chen's position behind him, only to find that there was no one there.
"Where are the people?" The emperor frowned.
"Father, sir, you have just returned home and said that you need to find someone to find a car and go to Chen Guogong's mansion tomorrow to transport the 300,000 yuan back." Li Ke explained to the emperor on the side.
The emperor is not too angry now.
After all, the power of this bed crossbow that was pulled open by pulleys really made him feel happy.
As for the 300,000 yuan that Zhao Chen went to Lahou Mansion, let him go.
Anyway, it’s not too bad for me.
Five hundred thousand strings can indeed create a powerful bed crossbow.
As for the 300,000 yuan, the Ministry of War did not do its job well, so shouldn't it be appropriate to spit out the money?
I haven't let them all spit it out yet, so I have already done my best to be kind and righteous.
"Hey, Li Ke, tell me about the more powerful bed crossbow developed by your academy..."
"Father, that's called the Eight Ox Crossbow."
"The gentleman said it would take eight old oxen to pull it apart."
"The arrows used are called chisel arrows. They have thick arrow shafts and iron fletchings, and are equipped with a huge triangular-edged iron arrowhead at the front end. Because its size is about the same as the spear used by ordinary soldiers, it is also called 'one shot and three arrows'."
Swords and arrows'."
"There is also a sub-three-bow crossbow, and the arrows used are called 'stepping arrows'."
"Its function is to shoot thick arrows at the enemy's city wall when attacking the enemy's castle, so that the front end of the crossbow is deeply inserted into the wall, leaving only half of the thick arrow shaft and tail feathers exposed outside the wall."
"Under the cover of their own side, the soldiers attacking the city can climb up the city wall using these huge arrow shafts inserted into the wall and capture the city."
"Father, you don't know how powerful these things are. To be honest, the bed crossbow you spent 500,000 yuan on research and development, although it looks very powerful, was developed with us by the gentleman in the academy."
"It's nothing!" Li Ke talked to the emperor about the things researched by the academy, and finally glanced at the bed crossbow behind him, shaking his head disdainfully.
