Chapter 102 You don’t believe me so much?
When they heard that there was a battle to be fought, instead of being afraid, everyone was a little excited.
They have been training for so long and have long wanted to practice their skills.
Now, each of their crossbows have been trained to miss the target within [-] feet, and can be cocked within ten seconds.
Some are very strong and can do it in five seconds.
At the same time, Song Shang and Tian Yu were divided into three groups according to their winding speed. When the battle started, the three groups took turns to shoot. Unless they had several times the force, they would never be able to defeat them.
Therefore, they are now very proud and want to fight to prove their strength.
"Husband, who is the opponent? How about we just strike first."
Liu Yanyan waved her dagger twice and asked eagerly.
She has the best archery talent among the guards. Now she can guarantee a hundred hits within forty feet, which is close to the limit range of a repeating crossbow.
Even if the enemy is fifty feet away, she has a fifty percent chance of hitting it. If she were on the battlefield, she would be considered a marksman.
"Yes, Xiaofan, how about we kill him directly."
A squad leader also had a face full of excitement, with murderous intent in his eyes.
He has been on the battlefield for six years and fought many battles, so he understands war better.
With these forty repeating crossbows firing in turns, even a regular army of hundreds of people could not defeat them in a head-on battle.
He really couldn't think of anyone near Lijiazhuang who could deal with them.
As for the conditions Lin Xiaofan said were more difficult, that was fine. They have lived for so many years, and how many miserable conditions have they never experienced? It's just a crowded night's sleep.
Lin Xiaofan was very satisfied when he saw that everyone was full of fighting spirit. Then I thought about it, I haven't been here to inspect for a long time, and I don't know how they are practicing.
"Judging from your appearance, you should be well trained. Why don't you let me and Brother Jian see it?"
Lin Xiaofan said.
Jian Bai on the side heard this and hurriedly spoke:
"Haha, let me see how powerful this repeating crossbow is."
Song Shang nodded:
"Okay, brothers, take the repeating crossbow and show our strength to Brother Lin and Brother Jian."
As soon as the members of the escort were called, the originally scattered formation was quickly arranged into four columns, with ten people in each column.
"Array!"
Song Shang gave an order, and the originally four-column team quickly merged into three columns, leaving some gaps between each soldier. The people in the first row fired a volley of crossbows, then retreated to the back row and reloaded the crossbows, then the second row fired again, retreated to the back row, and reloaded the crossbows. Shoot again in the third column.
The first column shoots the slowest, and the second column shoots the fastest, so the second column immediately moves to the front, shoots again, and the round is over.
Following this cycle, within one minute, the ten wooden stakes in front were filled with arrows.
After six rounds, Song Shang called everyone to stop.
Stringing the bow requires strength. After six rounds, many people's strength is almost exhausted, and the speed of stringing the crossbow will be much slower.
Everyone stood quietly, waiting for the next order, like a true elite army.
Jian Bai looked at the scene in front of him and was completely shocked.
In his eyes, a scene gradually appeared.
Each of the thousands of troops held a repeating crossbow and fired round after round.
A continuous stream of crossbow arrows roared to harvest the enemy soldiers.
With only a thousand people, he shot out the aura of ten thousand people. Even when faced with an army of tens of thousands, they can handle it with ease.
"Brother Jian, how about my repeating crossbow?"
Lin Xiaofan spoke, pulling Jian Bai back from his thoughts.
Glancing around the wooden pile, only one or two crossbow arrows missed, and the rest all hit the wooden pile.
You know, this is a distance of twenty-five feet, and even well-trained archers cannot achieve this accuracy.
When Jian Bai looked at Lian Nu again, Jian Bai's eyes were full of fanaticism.
"Strong, too strong."
He couldn't even imagine the scene where their swordsmen's legions, equipped with repeating crossbows, were invincible on the battlefield.
"It's a pity that such a powerful weapon can only be used for a year or two at most."
Jian Bai shook his head and said.
Once this kind of weapon comes out, other countries will try their best to obtain it and copy it.
No matter how exquisite the weapon is, as long as someone else gets one, those famous craftsmen can slowly copy it.
In a year or two at most, other countries will have the same weapons, and by then their advantage will be gone.
However, more than a year is enough to conquer countless territories and achieve numerous military exploits.
"Haha, don't worry Brother Jian, I will make a new weapon in less than a year."
Lin Xiaofan laughed and said.
After hearing this, Jian Bai had doubts on his face, but he still smiled and said:
"Okay, then I will wait for Brother Lin's good news."
This kind of ingenious weapon is considered lucky to be able to make one. How can it be possible to make another one?
Song Shang and Tian Yu quickly arranged the team and were explaining the key points of patrol and lurking to everyone.
Two people were hiding on the two main routes into the village, while the remaining three were patrolling nearby. Once something unusual happens, send someone back immediately to report it.
At the same time, in order to prevent the patrolmen from being killed and the repeating crossbows being obtained, the patrolmen only carried cold weapons.
The making of gunpowder requires sulfur. Now that he is on the opposite side of the county magistrate, it is not appropriate to send people into the city to buy these at this time, so this can only come to an end first.
Lin Xiaofan went to Li San's home again and studied Liannu with everyone.
……
within the county government.
"Ms. Chen, why don't we take action? If we drag this out any longer, I'm afraid there will be more trouble."
Magistrate Cheng looked anxious and paced back and forth in the room.
Chen Xue agreed to him, as long as he could capture Lin Xiaofan, obtain Lian Nu, and ensure that he became the prefect.
In his opinion, taking down Lin Xiaofan was a piece of cake, so he couldn't wait to fight.
At the end of the day, he had asked for a fight three times, but Chen Xue rejected him three times, saying that the time had not come yet.
He really couldn't understand why Chen Xue didn't take action.
Could it be that he was afraid of being exposed? But it was his people who did it anyway, so what if he was exposed? As long as the man named Jian Bai is not killed, can the Jian family just fall out?
"Don't worry, I'm waiting for someone."
Chen Xue spoke calmly.
wait?
Magistrate Cheng was stunned for a moment. Could it be that he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat Lin Xiaofan and Jian Bai?
How can this be?
He knew about Lijiazhuang. He secretly raised forty guards a while ago and even killed the bandits. He was quite capable.
But how could a convoy composed of a miscellaneous group of people defeat the group under his command? When the time comes, won't it be over if he lets his men disguise themselves as bandits and directly kill Lin Xiaofan?
As for the one with Jianbai, although his martial arts is a bit higher, he still has four masters under him. No matter how powerful he is, it would be great to fight one against two. Is it possible that he can fight against four?
