Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"clatter!"

As far as the eye could see, the ten crossbow arrows reached the target over there almost at the same time!

Right on target!

Ten crossbow arrows were lined up in a row and all hit the red heart in the middle of the target!
"Clap!"

The next second, a crack spread from the center of the target to the surrounding area, and then, in full view of everyone, the target could not bear the weight and broke into two halves and fell to the ground!
Cheng Yaojin stared at his "masterpiece" in a daze and took a breath of cold air!
Zhuge Crossbow is so terrifying!
Although the power of a crossbow arrow is not very strong, and may even be slightly weaker than the arrows of some ordinary large bows, but ten arrows added together are not just one plus one equals two!

If the target was a person, that person would probably be shot into a sieve!

"We must produce more of these Zhuge Crossbows! Lord Guo! Our Great Yan army needs such a powerful weapon!"

Chen Qingzhi stared at the cracked target with a sharp gaze.

It was just the result of a Zhuge Crossbow and ten crossbow arrows!

What if there are ten crossbows? A hundred? A thousand? Ten thousand?
The rain of arrows formed by thousands of arrows fired simultaneously has such terrifying power, what army can resist it!

If it were Dayan, it could form an army of 10,000 people, with each soldier holding a Zhuge Crossbow. After a few rounds of volleys, even if the opponent had an army of the same number, how many of them would be able to stand intact?

"General Cheng! Try the scarecrow on the other side!"

Guo Shoujing was a little shocked, as if he didn't hear Chen Qianzhi's words. He pointed at the scarecrow on the other side and said to Cheng Yaojin.

“Ohh…”

Cheng Yaojin had not yet recovered from his shock. After a long while, he nodded woodenly.

He reloaded very quickly and was ready again in a short while.

Aim and shoot!
"call out!"

This time, the ten crossbow arrows were more coordinated, and they shot out from the crossbow as if they had become one, making only a sound of breaking through the air.

Cheng Yaojin was still a fierce general after all. His accuracy was extremely high and his crossbow arrow hit the target again!
"This, this, this"

On the other side, ten small holes had appeared on the scarecrow's head at some point!
The ten crossbow arrows went straight through the scarecrow, which was stabbed extremely densely, and hit the hard wall behind it before falling to the ground unwillingly.

"General Chen, listen to my orders!"

Guo Shoujing took a while to react, a hint of determination flashed across his face, and he suddenly turned around and said to Chen Qianzhi behind him.

"The general is here!"

Chen Qingzhi stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted Guo Shoujing, waiting for Guo Shoujing's instructions with some anticipation in his eyes.

"The Zhuge Crossbow is extremely powerful, and it is exactly the weapon that our Great Yan army has been looking for! You must mobilize the craftsmen immediately! Go to the Institute of Gewu and ask Jiang Kun to dispatch them! Make sure to make a batch of Zhuge Crossbows before the Eastern Expedition!"

Guo Shoujing's voice was extremely decisive, with an unnatural aura of a prime minister revealed in it.

"He Shen and His Excellency!"

After giving instructions to Chen Qingzhi, he looked at Heshen on the other side.

"Chen is here!"

Heshen did not hesitate and also took a step forward.

"Immediately transfer funds and various materials from the national treasury so that the Institute of Gewu can start construction as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Hahaha... Just Goguryeo! A small barbarian country! They can't cause any big waves under the millions of brave soldiers of my Great Yan! Now that we have Zhuge Crossbow, let's see how long they can last!
Guo Shoujing suddenly looked towards the east where Goguryeo was located.

What the previous Emperor Yang of Sui could not do, they, the Great Yan, will definitely be able to do!
A small country like Goguryeo dares to invade Da Yan? Let them taste the wrath and power of Da Yan!

"A Zhuge Crossbow is already so powerful... According to what Your Majesty said, the Eight Oxen Crossbow is even more powerful."

Cheng Yaojin looked at the bowstring in his hand and the slightly trembling crossbow, and immediately made up his mind that he must get the Zhuge Crossbow and the Eight Ox Crossbow into his army!

"Jiang Kun! If I give you enough people, enough materials and silver, how many Zhuge Crossbows can you make within half a month?"

Guo Shoujing seemed to have thought of something, looked to the other side, and smiled at Jiang Kun who was looking at everyone.

"Replying to Lord Guo! If conditions permit, it won't be a problem to make 10,000 swords!"

Jiang Kun said this confidently without any hesitation.

"Good! If the Institute of Gewu can complete the task, the court will reward you handsomely!"

Guo Shoujing smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. With Jiang Kun's assurance, he felt extremely relieved.

Jiang Kun looked at the target that was split in half, and the scarecrow, and then glanced at the ministers who were shocked. His cloudy old eyes suddenly turned red.

The way he insisted on! Those familiar things that were forgotten and not valued by the world finally came to the fore again!
Being able to see that the imperial court attached so much importance to this, as a master of this art, he died without regrets!
"I don't know what's going on with His Majesty..."

Guo Shoujing licked his cracked lips, his eyes full of anticipation.

I think that something that Li Kuan could bring out and praise so highly cannot be too bad!
With Zhuge Crossbow assisted by the Eight Ox Crossbow, they have great confidence in their eastern expedition!
Guo Shoujing seemed to have seen the Goguryeo army running away in panic under the two murderous auras!
"Let's go! Follow me to see what's going on over there!"

Guo Shoujing couldn't wait any longer and took a step forward to walk towards Li Kuan.

But before he had taken a few steps, he saw a figure pushing a crossbow slowly coming towards him.

It was clearly the completed Li Kuan, and the object in front of him was probably the Eight Ox Crossbow.

"Your Majesty... Is this the Eight Oxen Crossbow?"

Guo Shoujing did not look at Li Kuan. All his attention was attracted by the Eight Oxen Crossbow in front of Li Kuan.
Three large bows were fixed on the large bracket! The tight bowstrings seemed to tell Guo Shoujing that they were very powerful!
"It lives up to your expectations. This is the Eight Oxen Crossbow! Guaranteed genuine!"

Li Kuan glanced at the somewhat excited Guo Shoujing, smiled and slowly returned to the road.

"Good! Good! Good! Good, Your Majesty."

Guo Shoujing laughed!
He actually said three good words in a row!

"Your Majesty? What is that thing in your hand? Could it be the arrows for the Eight Ox Crossbow?"

Cheng Yaojin, who was behind, was suddenly attracted by the two javelin-like objects in Li Kuan's hands, but he was shocked by his own thoughts.

This big thing is a crossbow? Then what were the crossbows in the past?

"Of course it's the arrows from the Eight Ox Crossbow!"

Li Kuan said lightly, and then handed the crossbow in his hand to Cheng Yaojin.

After obtaining the crossbow, Cheng Yaojin had a more intuitive understanding of it.

The arrow is made of hard wood as its shaft and iron sheets as its feathers, just like a spear!
"If this thing is really shot out, who can withstand it? The flesh body will be blown in half!"

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened. How could this be a crossbow? It was clearly a spear!
"Your Majesty! Quickly push that Eight Oxen Crossbow over here! I want to test its power!"

He suddenly clenched the crossbow in his hand and stared at the wall over there, looking eager to try.

According to Li Kuan, the Eight Ox Crossbow can be nailed into the city wall! I think a big hole will be blasted out of the wall here!
"Hehe! Old devil! I don't mean to look down on you! You really can't pull this Eight Oxen Crossbow by yourself! This crossbow requires a lot of strength to pull, and your small body may not be able to do it."

Li Kuan looked Cheng Yaojin up and down, and then said calmly. That look made Cheng Yaojin anxious all of a sudden.

"You little brat! What's wrong with my figure? I'm much stronger than your frail body! How dare you look down on me?"

The old demon was furious when he heard this, and glared at Li Kuan fiercely, as if he had suffered a great humiliation.

He is a great man named Cheng Yaojin, the master of a big axe! Not many enemy generals can survive his three axes without any damage!

Now Li Kuan bluntly said that he couldn't do it? How could he tolerate this?

"Hmph! Boy! Open your eyes and watch!"

The old demon didn't believe it, so he pushed Li Kuan away, moved the Eight Ox Crossbow aside, and then put the arrow in his hand on it.

After taking a look at the structure of the Eight Ox Crossbow, he began to tinker with it.

"Old devil, I'm not trying to hit you, it's you who really can't do it."

Li Kuan stepped aside and did not stop him, but continued to persuade him.

After all, it would be a bad thing to embarrass yourself in front of so many acquaintances!
"Stop talking nonsense! Today I'm going to show you how powerful I am!"

Cheng Yaojin did not stop. He rolled up his sleeves to reveal two strong arms full of explosive muscles.

"hehe."

The people on the side saw this scene and did not stop it. They all wanted to see the power of the Eight Ox Crossbow.

Since Cheng Yaojin was so enthusiastic, they were happy to see it.

"Hey!"

Cheng Yaojin roared, then grasped a twisting shaft with one hand and began to exert force violently.

"what--"

The muscles in the old goblin's arms trembled slightly, and a powerful force gathered between his hands, but after a long time, the bow axis only turned half a circle, just slightly pulling the bowstring on the trigger back a distance.

But this short distance is still far from pulling the bowstrings of three large bows to their full length! .
"..I just don't believe it! Move!"

The old demon came forward, his body slightly lowered in a horse stance, and he continued to exert force with his arms, turning the shaft half a circle again.

"Forget it, old devil. If I say you can't do it, then you can't do it. Don't force it!"

Li Kuan appeared beside Cheng Yaojin at some point and said with a teasing look on his face.

Cheng Yaojin saw Li Kuan's face out of the corner of his eye, and his hands lost their grip on the shaft for a moment, causing him to lose strength. The circle that he had pulled with great difficulty was reversed.

Cheng Yaojin bent over with his big hands on his thighs, breathing heavily, and his back was already soaked with sweat!
The Eight Oxen Crossbow is indeed not just a name!
Even a powerful general like Cheng Yaojin cannot pull it to its full potential by himself!
"What? Old witch? Am I right? You just can't do it..."

Li Kuan crossed his arms and looked at Cheng Yaojin, who seemed a little exhausted, with a smirk on his face.

"you!"

The old demon glared at Li Kuan. If he wasn’t exhausted at the moment, he would have jumped up and fought Li Kuan to the death!
That face is so shameless!
"Your Majesty... This Eight Oxen Crossbow is so difficult to pull. How many soldiers are needed to operate it?"

Guo Shoujing at the back frowned slightly. Even Cheng Yaojin couldn't pull the Eight Ox Crossbow to its full pull, so ordinary soldiers were even less able to do so!
"Principal Guo...it's just that the old witch is not good enough. Let me try."

When Li Kuan saw Guo Shoujing asking, he turned around and said.

"Humph! Brat! I, Cheng Yaojin, can't do it, but do you think you can?"

Cheng Yaojin, who had recovered a little, snorted coldly when he heard Li Kuan's words, and then mocked him.

"That's just because you can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it."

Li Kuan shrugged and glanced at the old demon calmly.

"Humph! You'll be crying soon!"

Cheng Yaojin stepped aside, waiting to see Li Kuan make a fool of himself.

The others turned their attention to Li Kuan, wanting to see how powerful the Eight Ox Crossbow was.

"Hey!"

Li Kuan stepped forward and rubbed his hands, then placed his hands on the shaft.

"Wake it up for me!"

An incomparable force burst out from Li Kuan's hands, and the shaft that the old demon had difficulty pulling was actually turning slowly at this moment!
"impossible!"

Cheng Yaojin, who was standing behind, widened his eyes when he saw the scene in front of him.

Cheng Yaojin didn't pull it, but Li Kuan actually pulled it!

Is it really as Li Kuan said, that Cheng Yaojin is really no good?

For a moment, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but doubt his life!
"Whoosh!"

Li Kuan pulled the capstan to its limit, causing the bowstring to be pulled to its fullest. After fixing the capstan, Li Kuan adjusted the position and then pulled the trigger towards the wall over there.

The arrow, as big as a spear, suddenly flew out, making a sound of breaking through the air!

Such a huge arrow actually has the speed of an ordinary-sized arrow!

"boom!"

"Boom!"

The crossbow arrow hit the wall, and there was a loud crash first, and then, under the gaze of everyone, the crossbow arrow actually went straight into the wall.

A huge hole appeared on the originally intact wall!
After the arrow pierced through the wall, it still had some power left!

It continued to rush towards the other wall! It finally stopped after it sank into the wall again.

"This"

Guo Shoujing looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. The majesty of being a prime minister suddenly disappeared, and he was as shocked as Cheng Yaojin beside him.

"Is this thing so scary... What the hell were those crossbows we used before... This is a real crossbow..."

Cheng Yaojin was also stunned, looking at the dark cave and muttering.

"Cough cough!"

Li Kuan cleared his throat a few times and called back everyone who were still immersed in the power of the arrow.

"Your Majesty! How many people normally need to operate an Eight Oxen Crossbow like this?"

Chen Qingzhi came back to his senses, grabbed Li Kuan's arm and asked anxiously.
