No matter how long the road is, there is still time to reach the end; no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there is also the moment when you can see it all!
When they passed the last row of houses and saw an endless wilderness, Li Shimin and others felt a little lost.
There was a small dirt bag in the wilderness in front, and a circular fortress was erected on it. A young guard poked his head out of the fortress and saw Xiao Han. He was overjoyed and just ran out when he suddenly slipped out as if he had seen a ghost. I ran back again, roared loudly, and saw something moving in the fortress from a distance.
Xiao Han led the people to climb up the dirt bag with great effort. The clothes he wore were too bulky, and he had really lacked exercise recently. He had been walking with Xiao Lizi all morning, and he was really exhausted!
"Hey! Dog! I saw you a long time ago! Go and get some water! Hurry up, I'm almost exhausted if you don't see me!" Xiao Han ran into the fortress and started shouting without even seeing what was inside.
The young guard who just ran out was playing with his big yellow crossbow. He was going to greet Xiao Han just now, but who would have thought that the idiot in the room turned the big yellow crossbow towards the Marquis and almost missed it. He was scared to death! A U-turn is just a meal of beatings and scoldings. He only cares about eating and not about beating!
"Okay, okay, Lord Marquis, please wait a moment."
Gouzi quickly let go of the big yellow crossbow, nodded and bowed in agreement! But when he turned around, he lost his good expression and shouted at the bewildered honest man: "Why are you standing there in a daze! Why don't you go get some water for Mr. Marquis!"
The honest man finally woke up and rushed out of the fortress obediently. He almost bumped into Li Shimin who followed him. He didn't even apologize and rushed towards the factory!
"Asshole! He's so restless in everything he does!" Gouzi shouted from behind, not forgetting to give Li Shimin a hand, "Don't blame your distinguished guest, he's not very smart!"
"Okay! He has a bad brain, but you have a good brain...you know how to instruct others when you are too lazy! Don't be idle, go and move a target, we are going to try the crossbow!" Xiao Han smiled and scolded and patted Gouzi on the head. , and then said to Li Shimin and the others who were standing still: "Gouzi is the best person among us who can handle the big yellow crossbow. Let him show you the power of this thing later!"
Li Shimin naturally had no objection. Xue Pan even smiled at Gouzi, which made Gouzi blush with embarrassment and quickly ran out to pick up the target. He still knew that this was the appointed Mrs. Hou.
Xue Shou and others all entered this cement fortress. Although the north wind poured in from the launch port, it was much better than outside.
There is also a small coal stove at the base of the north wall. The coals inside are a little red, and you can feel waves of heat radiating out as long as you squat next to it.
"It's cold! Come here and warm yourself up!" Xiao Han enthusiastically greeted Li Shimin and Xue Shou to come here.
"Ahem, no need..." Brother and sister Xue Shou and Xue Pan looked at Xiao Han squatting on the ground and immediately shook their heads, not for anything else but because this action was so ugly!
The dog was very fast. Before the other person could get the water back, he came back first, smiling and letting Xiao Han see the scarecrow he had inserted.
Xiao Han stood up reluctantly and saw a small black spot about 200 steps away. He couldn't help frowning and thought to himself that this bastard really doesn't know how to do things. If he goes so far away, if he can't shoot, wouldn't it be embarrassing? Already?
It was hard to say this to his face. He was afraid that others would see that he had no confidence, so he could only pull the dog secretly and whispered: "Your target is too simple. Give it a layer of iron armor and move it closer. Let's see." Be careful!"
Gouzi suddenly realized: "Oh~ Mr. Hou is still thoughtful! But you don't have to get too close. Why don't you know about our guys? It's easy to hit something that's two to three hundred steps away! It's not even a thousand steps away at the most. The problem is that I can’t aim accurately!”
"A thousand steps?" Li Shimin glanced at Xue Shou, but Xue Shou spread his hands and said that he didn't know whether it was true or not, but he probably was bragging. It would take a long time for a horse to run a thousand steps. He thought His arrows have wings and can fly?
Gouzi didn't know that he had become a braggart in the eyes of the distinguished guests. He rushed out the door happily, found a set of armor, ran to put it on the scarecrow, and then moved the armored scarecrow farther away. , then he ran back in a hurry, and now he had to control the gun and start aiming.
Xiao Han had nothing to say to this guy, so he could only wipe his face and hope to God that he would not miss it!
The huge big yellow crossbow has been modified several times, and the things on it are no longer what they were originally. The crossbow body rotates slowly on the solid base, and the tight wire rope rattles. When the dog adjusts its position, several iron ropes are pulled out from it one after another. Tiao, then breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Xiao Han.
Xiao Han rolled his eyes, turned to Li Shimin and the others and said, "Stay back, all of you! Stay away from this thing!"
After calling the curious Li Shimin and others aside, and seeing Xue Pan eager to try, Xiao Han hesitated for a moment, stepped forward to help her cover her ears, and then shouted to Gouzi: "Okay! Launch!"
"okay!"
Gouzi agreed excitedly, and hit Jikuo hard with the wooden hammer in his hand!
A sound so sharp that it seemed to pierce the eardrums suddenly exploded, and the air in the fortress shook violently! All the dust on the ground floated up at this moment, as if a small shock wave rippled out on the ground!
In the distance, the scarecrow's target has long since disappeared! Only the grass clippings flying in the sky and the clanging sound of armor falling to the ground were heard continuously!
"..."
Silence, deathly silence, everyone's mouths were open, like huge goldfish, gaping at the big yellow crossbow in front of them that was still shaking!
"This...is this the power of the big yellow crossbow?" After swallowing hard, Li Shimin stumbled out of the fortress and ran towards the target!
But at this moment, in the wilderness, someone suddenly came out, holding a small flag and waving it. When Gouzi, who was still excited at first, suddenly changed his expression, he slapped his head fiercely, and hurriedly pulled out a green flag from one side. Small flag, climb to the top of the fortress and wave it vigorously.
I only remembered to show off my skills and forgot to inform the other brothers! As soon as the result was triggered, other secret whistles immediately discovered the strange phenomenon here, thought something had happened, and asked for the reason, and the green flag waved by Gouzi told them that everything was safe!
Xiao Han didn't know how to use flag language. Of course, even if he did, he probably wouldn't be able to teach these big-headed soldiers who didn't know a single Chinese character. He could only tinker with a few simple colors to represent different meanings.
While the flag was waving, Li Shimin had already run to the place where the target was set up, but where was the scarecrow at this time? There was only a handful of turned up soil, grass clippings all over the ground, and a huge arrow not far away that was almost submerged in the soil!
There are eight oxen crossbows in the army, which are powerful and have always been a weapon on the battlefield, but compared with this, they are really nothing!
The distance of two hundred steps is almost the ultimate striking distance of the Ba Niu Crossbow, but looking at it now, this gun seems to be able to hit such a distance effortlessly! Could it be that what the man just said about a thousand steps was not a big lie?
Zhang Qiang dragged a piece of armor from a distance and came over. The originally brand-new armor was now unreadable! There is a huge hole in the front and back, and the armor leaves in other places have also fallen off. Only the arms are still intact!
