After a while, a man with a scar on his face and a ferocious face walked in.
It's the second in charge.
Before the two of them joined the army, they were playmates in the same village.
One is powerful and the other is brainy, but they complement each other.
"Second brother, what have you been doing lately?"
As soon as I saw Scarface come in.
Cheng Mazi quickly asked.
Scarface frowned slightly when he heard this title.
"Brother, we can't fight hard now. I heard that the governor has arranged for people to mobilize the army."
"But I estimate that the governor will not stay in Sanhe County as long as we hold on."
"I believe there is nothing they can do. As long as the governor is gone and only the pustular county magistrate is left, it will be easy to handle!"
Scarface said to Cheng Mazi.
"Well, that makes sense!"
"Then we will arrange for the brothers to go down the mountain to grab some food soon."
“It’s great if you can grab some!”
Cheng Mazi ordered with a worried look.
…
The mountain behind Hejian Village.
Ever since there was a charcoal kiln here.
It has become a stronghold for Zhang Bao and the others.
At this time, Zhang Bao and the others were holding a bow and arrow, shooting at the straw man on one side.
These bows and arrows were all made by Li Daniu using the beef tendons that Zhang Bao had given him before.
And according to Hu Dugu's suggestion, the structure of the bow and arrow was improved.
The current power is no longer the same as before.
Li Daniu was so excited to see the hunter that he started shooting and picking up arrows.
Very busy.
I don't feel tired at all.
Practiced too much.
The accuracy turned out to be much better.
Li Daniu didn't stop until the straw man was shot to a pulp.
The other two people, Hu Dugu and Lao He, turned out to be masters.
Not to mention that the arrows hit, but at least six or seven out of ten arrows can hit.
Lao He had practiced in the military before.
Hudugu is said to have been used when hunting on the grassland.
Zhang Bao, on the other hand, had the worst archery skills among the others, with only one or two arrows out of ten hitting the target.
And with those one or two arrows, even Zhang Bao felt like he was being blinded.
Zhang Bao had never used a bow and arrow before and thought it was very simple. But after he started using it, he realized that it was not the case at all.
But Zhang Bao is not worried.
Come on.
Zhang Bao also experienced this stage before when he was practicing gun shooting. At the beginning, he couldn't hit a single target.
I practiced more later.
Naturally it will be fine.
I heard that the members of the Special Forces Brigade are all sharpshooters, even if a new gun is worn out in less than a year.
Practice makes perfect, what Zhang Bao needs is time.
And another aspect.
Bows and arrows are, after all, long-range attack weapons.
In close combat, it is not very useful.
"Master!"
"Just watch it!"
"Tomorrow I will go hunting in the mountains. I will definitely bring back that fox that escaped before!"
Li Daniu carefully placed the bow and arrow on the grass aside, grinned and said to Zhang Bao.
"Don't worry about hunting or not. How is the research on the crossbows I told you about before?"
Zhang Bao asked Li Daniu.
"Crossbow?"
"Master, I have a little bit of an idea, but it doesn't seem to be very powerful!"
"Just wait, I'll go back and get it right away."
Li Daniu said as he hurried back.
After a while, a small crossbow was brought.
According to Zhang Bao's request, the crossbow should be as light as possible.
So Li Daniu reduced the size.
Zhang Bao took it over and tried it.
It was able to fire successfully, but the distance was far away, and it only went less than five meters.
And in the end, I basically lost all my strength.
This kind of crossbow is useless even for hunting, let alone shooting people.
"What's the problem?"
"Why are other people's crossbows so powerful?"
Zhang Bao was very confused.
"Master, I don't have any suitable wood at hand right now. The wood now is hard and dry, so it's not difficult at all."
"Coupled with its small size, the bow arm will be extremely brittle."
"That's all."
Li Daniu explained to everyone.
Zhang Bao understood at first glance that the arms and arms of the crossbows he saw were all made of composite materials. They were quite strong and naturally more powerful.
"Would it be better if I used iron sheets?"
At this moment.
Hu Dugu, who was sitting on the side, asked.
"Iron piece?"
"That's definitely better than wood!"
Li Daniu said.
"Master, we still have a lot of pig iron left over from last time. Do you want to try making some?"
Hu Dugu asked Zhang Bao.
"OK!"
"The bow arms and the tough parts on them have all been replaced with iron."
"In addition, you can create a batch of arrows so that they can be more powerful."
Zhang Bao nodded.
Hu Dugu immediately took Li Daniu back.
He still needs to confirm with Li Daniu what he wants.
"Uncle He, you have a good sense. The two people you picked out at that time were really helpful."
Watching Hu Dugu and Li Daniu leave.
Zhang Bao said to Lao He.
"That's right!"
"What should I say? He is also the chief manager of the Zhang Mansion, so he still has some skills."
Lao He touched his chin very proudly.
"Stop fussing, there is one more thing that has not been done."
"When Hu Dugu finishes his work, he and I will go to the county government. There is still Liu Mang who has not been dealt with."
"That scoundrel will get into trouble sooner or later!"
Zhang Bao said calmly.
"Master, I can do this myself!"
"Where do I need you?"
"The next time I go to town to sell charcoal, I'll pick it up on the way."
Lao He said, patting his chest.
"Uncle He, you are a wanted criminal now. Maybe your portrait is posted at the door of the county capital. If you say Li Daniu will come with you, will he sell you directly?"
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"Ah bah!"
"I almost forgot about this matter. What a bad luck!"
"It seems that the remaining yamen servant will have to find time to take up the job."
Lao He took a sip.
He said bitterly.
Zhang Bao:......
"Uncle He, do you have any hobbies?"
"Why don't you just move out?"
"Don't dream in the middle of the night, go in and kill me and Xiaoyue!"
Zhang Bao was speechless.
This old He would just draw the knife whenever he disagreed, as if he was addicted.
Maybe he is a murderous maniac.
"Master, you are so kind!"
"A good man will be bullied by others; a good horse will be ridden by others!"
"You must learn from me, old man, from now on!"
Lao He taught Zhang Bao very carefully.
"Forehead……"
"As for the matter of moving out, young master, you don't have to worry. I won't have any dreams when I sleep at night!"
After Lao He finished speaking, he patted his butt, stood up, and went to the side to urinate.
