But then I thought about it, if Liu Heng really wanted to know, he would probably laugh it off.
For the current Han Dynasty, a vassal king who just wants to eat and die is in the best interest of the court.
It is really ironic to say that Wu Wang Liu Bi, who wanted to revitalize the country and make it bigger and stronger, would now become a thorn in the side of the court.
On the contrary, Liu Deng, who was just waiting to die, now has everything he wants and has become a heartthrob in the court, loved by everyone and blooming...
In a daze, and he didn't know how long he had been thinking about it, Liu Deng finally fell asleep.
He fell into a very deep sleep, and when he woke up again it was already the morning of the second day.
"Your Majesty, the carriage has been prepared for you. Aren't you going to the military camp today?"
When he opened his eyes, Zhao Wengu was already waiting by the bed and whispered when Liu Deng woke up.
"Being a king is so tiring, I can't even sleep in!"
Liu Deng stretched for a long time, then sat up and said somewhat depressedly.
"You'd better get up quickly, people outside are waiting in a hurry."
Zhao Wengu pursed his lips and smiled.
"Get up!"
After complaining, Liu Deng hurriedly washed up, changed his clothes, and went out without even eating breakfast.
After getting on the carriage, he discovered that Zhao Wengu had prepared a food box for him in the carriage. This girl was really careful in her work.
The food box was full of various snacks, and a small copper pot was filled with a pot of hot porridge for him.
The carriage was running fairly smoothly. Liu Deng ate some snacks and drank half a bowl of hot porridge on the carriage. When he arrived at the gate of the military camp this time, several captains in the military camp were already there to greet him.
"See you, Your Majesty!"
The leader, a school captain, quickly saluted Liu Deng.
"There's no need for these false gifts. What's your name?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, Colonel Du Zhi is temporarily in charge of military training matters!"
"Du Zhi? Very good. Has the thing sent by the King arrived?"
Liu Den looked Du Zhi up and down. This boy was quite handsome, with a warm-blooded soldier's temperament all over his body.
"The report to the king has arrived this morning, but it has a seal on it and it has not been opened until now!"
When Liu Deng asked about Du Zhi, he quickly answered.
"Let's go and take this king to see. These are the key points of your training for the next period of time!"
"promise!"
Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Liu Deng was selling in his gourd, Du Zhi still hurriedly led the way.
"Open the box!"
Taking Liu Deng to the supply camp, Liu Deng gave direct instructions in front of the quartermaster.
"promise!"
Du Zhi hurriedly took two steps forward, tore off the seal with his own hands, and then opened the box.
"What is this thing?"
Looking at the contents of the box, Du Zhi was a little confused. It was just a wooden shelf with a strange handle on it and a hook.
"Bring me a military crossbow, a heavy crossbow!"
Liu Deng did not explain to him, but just gave an order.
"promise!"
Although he didn't know what Liu Deng was going to do, the quartermaster next to him hurriedly ordered someone to bring a brand new crossbow from the weapons warehouse next to him.
"Whoosh——"
Liu Deng took a slight aim and shot towards a big poplar tree outside. However, his technique was really poor, so he managed to miss anyone.
This was the first time he used this kind of weapon. The accuracy of this thing was not easy to grasp. After all, the advantage of the crossbow was its range. In addition, he was a complete novice, so it was too difficult to hit the target.
"It is indeed a good crossbow!"
Liu Deng could only cough dryly, and then change the topic to ease the awkward atmosphere.
This is a big yellow crossbow, which is the main military crossbow currently equipped by the Han army. This thing is very powerful. The steel arrows it fires can pierce iron armor if it is within 30 steps!
Even within 150 steps, the protection of the leather armor can be absolutely torn apart, but it is a bit laborious to wind it up.
Even a strong man like Du Zhi still needs to step on the crossbow arm with his feet and use his waist strength and two hands to wind it.
"The king is really powerful, he can even hit a blade of grass a hundred steps away!"
Du Ziteng hurriedly sent him a flattery, and Liu Deng suddenly smiled. This kid really has the talent to be a bitch.
"Watch it carefully!"
Liu Deng then took out a pair of racks, skillfully stuck the buckle on the crossbow arm, then hooked the two hooks on the bowstring, and skillfully shook the handle with his right hand.
There was a heartbreaking crunching sound, and Liu Deng didn't even see how hard he was. He actually used one hand to directly string the big yellow crossbow.
"Whoosh!"
Liu Deng took out another crossbow arrow from the quiver next to him and fired again.
Something that shocked everyone happened again. It only took Liu Deng a few breaths to wind the string directly with one hand.
At this time, not only Du Zhi, but also the quartermaster next to him was dumbfounded.
Not everyone can draw this kind of heavy crossbow. For a civilian officer like him, it might be possible to draw it once, but it would be too difficult to draw it a second time in a row!
Liu Deng didn't care about them. After shooting a pot of arrows in succession, Du Zhi and the others were already numb.
You know, even the flying general Li Guang, who is so amazing, doesn't have this strength?
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Du Zhi asked in a trembling voice.
"Try it yourself, you saw the action just now!"
Liu Deng did not answer his question, but handed the crossbow in his hand to Du Zhi.
Du Zhi had already been itching to see it. His king looked thin and frail, and he definitely couldn't be that kind of strong man. Speaking of which, there was only one possibility...
The strangeness may lie in this thing. When I tried to turn the handle, I immediately saw that the bowstring was being pulled upwards. With almost no effort, the heavy crossbow was already strung.
"This thing is called a winding device. It will become your standard equipment soon. Here are 100 of them. The remaining ones will be delivered one after another in a few days. Your task is to let everyone in the army learn to use it. !”
"promise!"
As soon as Liu Deng finished speaking, Du Zhi already answered excitedly.
"Okay, don't be silly here. There are only a hundred of them sent this time. You go and distribute them first, and then start training!"
Liu Deng had high hopes for this army. It was an important part of his plan, and Liu Deng had invested a lot of money for them.
Whether they can succeed this time depends on the training results of these people, but training is only one aspect, everything depends on the final performance on the battlefield.
