Tang Qi spread his hands: "Why did I lie to you? If you don't believe it, send someone to try it?"

Liu Che looked at Wei Qing.

Wei Qing walked down consciously, took the weird bow and arrow from the reluctant Huo Qubing, and tried it out a little.

"It does not take much strength to open a bow. One stone is enough."

Then nock the arrow and aim at the new target.

Whoosh!

Wei Qing narrowed his eyes: "Huh?"

He deliberately controlled the force so that the arrow did not completely pass through the target.

Instead, it was nailed firmly about a knuckle away from the bullseye, with half of the arrow shaft submerged in it.

"The general made a mistake?"

The soldiers exploded with a bang.

However, Wei Qing not only did not frown, but instead showed an expression of surprise and shot another arrow.

boom!

This time the arrow hit the bullseye accurately.

"Your Majesty, you are right, this bow is indeed a divine bow!" Wei Qing said in surprise, "The first time I aimed according to the ordinary angle bow, it was slightly misaligned. The second time, after a slight adjustment, it immediately

The accuracy of the hit is indeed higher than that of the horn bow used in the army!"

"oh?"

Liu Che became more interested.

I couldn't help but walk down and try it myself.

Then he handed it to several generals who were looking at him covetously.

After the generals finished trying it one by one, their eyes immediately changed when they looked at Tang Qi.

It's like going from looking at a pig to a beautiful woman that everyone loves, that's called affectionate!

There is no way, today's long-range attack methods are too scarce!

Mainly relying on bows and crossbows.

The training of archers takes too much time and energy, and it also depends on talent.

If all the archers in the army were equipped with this kind of "compound bow", it wouldn't require everyone to become an expert archer. At least every archer would be able to fire a two-stone bow, right?

This means that the average range is at least twice as far!

Especially in collective projectiles where accuracy is not required, range is everything!

With the compound bow, you can hit the Huns cavalry from a farther distance!

Tang Qi instantly got goosebumps all over his body: "What are you doing? Let's talk about it first. I'm a pure man who only likes soft girls!"

"Get out of the way. Didn't you see that sir was frightened?" Liu Che immediately regained the state he was in when he was on the island, and his expression instantly changed to a dog-legged expression. "May I ask, sir, could a big man like me make this bow?"

"Of course, this is what I did to find someone to make the warden." Tang Qi didn't hide his secrets, "But the cost is too high. It would be better if we only equipped a small number of sharpshooters. It would be a loss to make it in large quantities. It is better to use crossbows."

Wei Qing disagreed: "Although the crossbow does not have high requirements on people, it is too slow to string up. It can only fire one round when facing the Huns, and the power of the gun equipped with cavalry is too weak, so its usefulness is really limited."

Although this compound bow is a bit large, the cavalry does not need a very strong bow and arrow.

Weakening it to about 1 and a half stone can greatly improve the long-range attack capability of the cavalry, which is at least much better than that of guns with limited range and power.

Nowadays, when the Han cavalry faces the Huns, they mostly use fast close-quarters assaults, forcing the Huns to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the better-nourished and stronger Han cavalry.

When it comes to horseback shooting, the Han people are far inferior to the Huns who grew up on horseback and can easily be kited.

"Sir, what is the specific cost of this bow?" Liu Che also knew this question.

If it's not too expensive, maybe it's still feasible to equip only the elite Yulin Cavalry?

Tang Qi didn't like it very much: "This thing is only suitable for sharpshooters, otherwise it would be too wasteful. I do know a repeating crossbow that can fire the crossbow multiple times in a row. The cost is not high. If you want it, come back to me.

Just give you the drawings."

As for the Zhuge Liannu, given Dahan's production level, it is still easy to mass-produce.

However, Liu Che and others were stunned.

Repeating crossbow?

What the hell?

Can the words "crossbow" and "continuous shooting" be put together?

Why don't you say it so easily!

Liu Che felt that his outlook on life had been subverted, but every time he let his guard down, Tang Qi would always come up with something more subversive.

Wei Qing grabbed Tang Qi's shoulders excitedly: "Is what you said sir true?"

"Really, really, let go!" Tang Qi was shaken so dizzy, "It's no problem to shoot about ten arrows in a row. If you are a cavalry, you can also use the simple version. It's small in one hand, and the power is a little bit, but the advantage is that you can shoot continuously.

, put some poison on the arrow, and it will be a Yin man’s weapon for immediate melee combat!”

Wei Qing was so excited that he could not speak coherently: "Thank you sir, I, if this is true..."

"Ahem!"

Although Liu Che was also excited, he was still a little displeased to see the general losing his composure.

He said in his heart that I was clearly trying to give Tang Qi a blow, but why did it become the time for this kid to show off?

However, if you can really produce a repeating crossbow, it will greatly enhance the military strength of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Che said with a smile: "In that case, I have to rely more on you, Sir. However, the result of today's competition should be regarded as Sir's victory and cure the disease, don't you accept it?"

Huo Qubing clasped his fists: "Submit your energy!"

At the same time, he secretly winked at Tang Qi crazily to make him laugh.

The meaning is obvious.

Sir, please give me a bow!

My uncle is so shameless that he doesn't let go of his bow. You have to make the decision for me!

It made Tang Qi dumbfounded.

That compound bow is obviously not yours, right?

After this interruption, several generals also smiled and said they were willing to admit defeat, and promised to give the money they lost.

Tang Qi blinked and reacted belatedly.

It’s happening now!

An emperor, in addition to Wei Qing's fifteen generals, plus a prime minister.

There were sixteen people in the game, and everyone bet on Huo Qubing to win.

The odds are five to one, one hundred thousand per person.

All in all...

Tang Qi felt his breathing pause for a moment.

Eight million dollars!

Considering that Wei Qing is under him, half a million will be allocated.

That’s seven and a half million dollars!

This is more than the current annual taxes of the Han Dynasty!

mine……

After figuring it out, Tang Qi felt a mess of words drifting through his mind.

It’s really crazy!

The generals just came back from their excitement, and after careful calculation, their expressions didn't look very good.

For them, one hundred thousand dollars would be a bit painful at best.

But half a million dollars...

Even Liu Che couldn't help but twitch his face.

There are really too many!

"Um, sir..." Su Jian had the smallest official position and also had the least psychological burden. "I can't come up with half a million yuan for a while. You think otherwise..."

Tang Qi waved his hand: "It's okay, just write an IOU! Whenever Captain Su has money, he can pay it whenever he wants!"

Anyway, IOUs can be included in the system funds, so there is no loss at all!

Su Jian was particularly touched: "Thank you, Mr., for your understanding!"
