Chapter 168: True Zhuge Crossbow


"Young Master, it's done, it's done."

Ma Chao had just entered the gate of the arsenal, and Zheng Hun, who was waiting at the door, shouted with excitement on his face.

Ma Chao has been in a bad mood recently, not because of anything else, but because the old man Cai Yong has started to make trouble again.

Cai Yong's commotion was the discovery of Cai Yan and Ma Chao's private life-long affair.

Originally, only Heaven and Earth knew about this matter, Ma Chao knew about it, and Cai Yan knew about it, but a letter from the Wei family in Hedong made this good thing known to the world.

A few days ago, Cai Yong received a letter from the Wei family in Hedong, saying that Weining Wei Zhongdao was suffering from illness.

If you want to marry Cai Yan, you will feel happy.

Cai Yong is an old man who has not changed from the past.

Even if he puts his daughter's happiness on the line, he does not want to lose his reputation.

From this, he went to Cai Yan to discuss the matter.

If it were not for Fufeng Yiyou, historically Cai Yan would have obeyed Cai Yong and married Wei Ning.

Within a few days of marrying, Wei Ning would have had her hair tied up, and Cai Yan would have become a widow.

But the problem is that during a visit to Fufeng County, Ma Chao's figure has been deeply imprinted in Cai Yan's heart.

At this time, Cai Yong mentioned nonsense about marriage and parents' orders.

How could this make Cai Yan, who knew nothing, give in?

Cai Yong had no choice but to make his own decision and planned to go to Ma Chao to bid farewell.

The reason why he went to Ma Chao instead of Ma Teng was because Cai Yong was also a sensible person.

He had already figured out who was in charge of the Ma family, but it was his cleverness that made him miss the mark.

How could Ma Chao let Cai Yan go to the Wei family to be a widow?

In a fit of anger, he shouted out his intention to marry Cai Yan.

Although Cai Yong was old, his temper was not old.

He pointed at Ma Chao's nose and cursed, saying that Ma Chao had no shame and did not understand the etiquette of a saint.

And Ma Chao is not the one who suffers the consequences.

He has already developed a good mouth in the parliament and scolded Cai Yongming for his stubbornness and reputation.

The two finally broke up on bad terms, and the final result was that Cai Yong's front and back gates were guarded by dozens of elite Ma family soldiers, and there were shadows monitoring him in a radius of ten miles.

After Cai Yong returned, he cursed Cai Yan again.

Cai Yan was also the kind of woman who was soft on the outside but strong on the inside.

She actually said that she had performed the courtesy of Zhou Gong with Ma Chao, which made Cai Yong so angry that he wanted to beat Cai Yan to death.

Fortunately, Brother Chou was alert and immediately broke into Cai Mansion with Shadow and kidnapped Cai Yan.

Well, Cai Yong went crazy and cursed Ma Chao.

After Han Ying learned about this, she also went crazy and cursed Ma Chao.

As for Yun'er, she almost went crazy, but she was so happy.

Going crazy Ma Chao came to the arsenal today only after being angry with Cai Yong.

Although you can't substitute your personal feelings into your work, you will always have bad moods.

Under the shadow of the cup bow and snake, I thought Zheng Hun was ridiculing him and Cai Yan for failing to achieve anything.

At that moment, he put on his face and wanted to curse.

However, both Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan are inventive people, and they are not very good at observing words and emotions.

Fortunately, they were so informal that they avoided being scolded.

Because Zheng Hun didn't wait for Ma Chao to speak, and continued: "Young Master, the True Yuan Rong Crossbow has become a repeating bed crossbow," Zheng Hun said with excitement.

"Ah" Ma Chao was so happy that he suddenly came to his senses, pulled Zheng Hun and ran towards the R&D room of the arsenal.

"I didn't dare to underestimate the ancient craftsmen, but I didn't expect that they still have room to create miracles.

But what does the True Yuan Rong Crossbow mean?

Is it just like the equipment in the game, and it is still an imitation."

In the R&D secret room, Pu Yuan, who had been reinstated, had red and swollen eyes, his hair was messy, his clothes were covered with dust and sawdust, and he had been rubbed out of shape.

The few craftsmen who started the work also looked exhausted.

Seeing this, Ma Chao was a little surprised: When will Pu Yuan know how to be a carpenter?

In fact, in the late Han Dynasty, iron smelting and woodworking were rarely separated.

Most of them were good at both.

Ma Chao didn't know that Pu Yuan personally built the tiles for the fire pit dragon.

This was not the time to think about this.

Seeing how tired the craftsmen were, Ma Chao knew that these two master craftsmen had led the craftsmen and stayed up many long nights for this crossbow.

Seeing this scene in front of him made Ma Chao's nose feel sore and his throat was choked with emotion.

Thinking of that old man Cai Yong, I felt even more angry and itchy my teeth.

Those sour scholars at the end of the Han Dynasty could only write a few poems and guess a few riddles, and they thought they were very talented.

However, their useless knowledge was of no help to the advancement of science and technology, the development of mankind, or the improvement of productivity.

On the contrary, it is because they ignore human ethics and only know how to gain fame and loyalty, which is really stupid.

Looking at the craftsmen such as Pu Yuan and Zheng Hun, Ma Chao felt that they were ten or a hundred times stronger than Cai Yong.

However, Confucianism always has merits, and it would not be wrong to throw away the children and the dirty water.

The central ideas of loyalty, filial piety, etiquette, righteousness, and benevolence and loving others are still very helpful to social morality.

However, at this moment, Ma Chao has already had the idea of ​​breaking through those crooked Confucian ideas.

I plan to write a book about mathematics, geometry, biology, history, geography and other knowledge learned in elementary and junior high schools for children to learn, and gradually ease the atmosphere of the late Han Dynasty, establish an atmosphere of equal emphasis on arts and science, and slowly change everything.

"Thank you for your hard work, craftsmen."

Ma Chao greeted everyone first without asking about the crossbows.

Naturally, he paid great attention to the details.

After everyone had returned their greetings, Ma Chao asked Pu Yuan, "Master Pu, I heard Master Zheng say that the Zhen Yuan Rong Crossbow has been completed."

"Young master, I report that my subordinates are not talented.

Yuan Rong's crossbow was successfully completed last night.

Please test it, young master."

Pu Yuanyuan's confident voice could not conceal his excitement.

In the center of the secret room, under a wide red cloth, lay quietly the masterpieces of several craftsmen who devoted their efforts.

Zheng Hun stepped forward and lifted up the red cloth with a swipe.

A brand new portable Yuanrong crossbow and a frightening bed crossbow appeared in front of Ma Chao.

The crossbow body made of fine steel shone with a cold light.

Ma Chao raised the Yuan Rong crossbow and found that Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan had made the arrow box smaller, and there were only five arrow slots left.

The weight suddenly dropped by half.

Pu Yuan handed over the crossbow arrow and explained: "Young Master, this crossbow arrow has also been improved, and its power is even greater than before."

Ma Chao picked up the crossbow arrow and looked carefully.

He saw that the crossbow arrow was as big as a bamboo chopstick and was made into a hexagonal shape.

The tip was extremely sharp.

There were several deep bleeding grooves between the ribs of the arrow body.

Ma Chao even felt this.

The sharpness of an arrow that penetrates the flesh and the viciousness of bloodthirsty.

He weighed the crossbow arrows in his hand, thinking: "No matter how strong a man is, if he is shot by this arrow, he will probably not be able to survive."

The five arrow grooves of Yuan Rong's crossbow were polished until they were shiny, and the double tendons were extremely tough.

A simple sight was cleverly installed on the upper arrow box.

This crossbow can fire twenty arrows in a row.

If it can be guaranteed Accuracy and unparalleled power.

Ma Chao compared it casually and felt that this crossbow could probably shoot through a wooden target of a hundred paces.

He was very happy: a cavalry charge only needs 200 paces to complete its acceleration, while a heavy cavalry charge can complete its acceleration within 200 paces.

Throw the javelin outside, wait until the javelin is thrown, and then use the Yuanrong crossbow to shoot upward.

The enemy army will be dispersed without having to attack.

"Young Master, I and several craftsmen here are trying to make a repeating bed crossbow based on your instructions and the improvement of the city defense crossbow.

Young Master, please check it."

Pu Yuan stroked the bed crossbow and was full of emotions.

A look of care.

Putting down Yuan Rong's crossbow, Ma Chao was deeply shocked by this crossbow: the crossbow body was about two meters long, and eight strands of beef tendon were twisted into a bow string.

Look at the crossbow arrow that Pu Yuan handed over.

It is about the length of an arm and the thickness of a finger.

If you are hit by this crossbow arrow, even the armor will be unable to withstand it, and the internal organs of humans and animals will be smashed to pieces.

"Young Master, how are these two artifacts now?"

After telling Ma Chao the test results of the bed crossbow and Yuan Rong crossbow, Zheng Hun cautiously asked Ma Chao for his opinion.

Ma Chao thought for a while and realized that the moment to inspire people had come.

He replied loudly: "Master Zheng, Master Pu and all other craftsmen and talents, please accept my worship from Ma Chao."

At that moment, Ma Chao bowed down and worshiped.

"How dare I bow to my young master?"

Zheng Hun, Pu Yuan and other craftsmen quickly moved away from the direction of Ma Chao's bow.

"You have worked so hard and deserve to be worshiped," Ma Chao replied sincerely, and then said loudly: "Today another magical weapon came out of the arsenal.

I am very relieved and sent an order to let the craftsmen of each battalion rest for half a day.

The kitchens will stew wild chicken soup.

All craftsmen provide supplements” Due to the expansion of the arsenal, the number of bellows manufactured also increased greatly.

Pity the hundreds of fat chickens that were plucked and had to be marinated and stored in the cellar.

At this time, it just comes in handy to reward the hard-working craftsmen.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the courtyard of the arsenal, except for Ma Chao's wise and mighty figure.

What's left is a steaming scene of eating, with all the craftsmen sweating and feasting.

"This chicken soup is good.

If I have a new invention someday, I will make another bowl."

Ma Chao said before leaving
