Chapter 885 But what's the secret?(1/2)
This is the first time that all officials have seen such a huge weapon.
Just an arrow is two feet long.
Three arrows flashing with cold light stood on the Eight Niu Crossbow, making people feel a little scared.
When many officials saw the Baniu Crossbow, they subconsciously took two steps back.
It seems that if it does not retreat, the crossbow arrow will shoot them.
The emperor saw it and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
This is wherever they go. If they see the real power of the Eight Niu Crossbow later, they would be afraid that they would be so scared that they would pee their pants on the spot?
"Your dear friends don't have to panic, it's not that dangerous." The emperor said to everyone with a smile.
The retreating official couldn't help but blush when he heard the emperor's words.
Looking at the huge Eight-Nuo Crossbow, I was a little at a loss.
"Your Highness, is this the Eight Cow Crossbow?"
"It seems more terrifying than the bed crossbows developed by the Military Arms Supervision of the Ministry of War." Du He and Li Tai said.
This was a bit unbelievable in my heart.
The Ministry of War spent three months and the efforts of countless craftsmen to finally build a crossbow.
Still a defective product.
As a result, Chang'an Academy actually made an eight-ox crossbow that could shoot three arrows at the volley of the volley?
Is it more powerful than the crossbow of the military weapon supervisor?
It's hard for people to believe.
"Zhao Chen is even more terrifying than we thought." Li Tai said this, staring at the Eight Niu Crossbow passing by in front of him.
Although I haven't felt the power of these Eight Cow Crossbows, since the emperor dares to call the officials over.
Then the power of this thing is naturally unquestionable.
Li Tai felt a little powerless.
With Zhao Chen's ability, if Li Tai ascended the throne to the throne in the future, he would either control Zhao Chen or kill him as soon as possible.
Otherwise, Li Tai would not sleep well no matter what.
Du He didn't know how to answer Li Tai, and stood aside and stopped talking.
The officials were filled with shock when they saw the huge Eight-Nuo Crossbow passing by them.
"This thing is simply a large siege car."
"That shaky arrow cluster, just by looking at it, makes people feel panicked. I really don't know how powerful this thing is."
"This thing is big, but if you want to pull this arrow, you may have to have hundreds of people. Otherwise, how can you call it the Baniu Crossbow?"
"How do they pull this thing away?"
"I heard that the crossbow of the Military Arts Supervisor is not powerful because it cannot completely pull the crossbow."
"This Eight-Nuo Crossbow is definitely much harder to pull out than the bed crossbow of the Military Arts Supervisor."
"Your Majesty called us over so excitedly, it must be because he had seen the power of this thing before."
The officials also whispered, but the weather was too cold.
Many people were trembling with cold.
The Eight Niu Crossbow stopped and stopped ten feet in front of everyone.
Three huge arrows aimed at the collapsed wall two hundred feet away.
"Your Majesty, you are ready." Cheng Chumo ran over and bowed to the emperor.
Zhao Chen and others had already come over. The emperor glanced at Zhao Chen and didn't say anything to him, so he waved his hand.
Cheng Chumo took the order and ran back to Baniu Crossbow quickly.
All the officials surrounded him, their eyes full of curiosity.
They were wondering how powerful the eight-ox crossbow is such a huge.
"It's two hundred feet away from the wall here. Can it be so far?" Some official hesitated.
"It's hard to say that the expected effective distance of the bed crossbow is 150 meters. These eight cow crossbows are much larger than the bed crossbows. They should have shot farther."
"But these are three arrows, I'm afraid..." A military official shook his head and said.
Obviously he felt that the eight-ox crossbow might be more powerful, but the eight-ox crossbow had three arrows at a time, which required greater tension.
Moreover, the further the distance, the more powerful the required will increase exponentially.
Two hundred feet, not that easy.
"I hope it's not too ugly. Your Majesty is so excited. If the result is ugly, your Majesty will be angry."
"When the time comes, then..."
"boom--"
Before the officials finished their prayers, the officials saw three two-meter-long arrows shot out from the Eight Ox Crossbow.
Almost at the same time, thirty arrows were nailed to the wall two hundred feet away.
The dull collision sound came back.
"this--"
"Two hundred feet away, all three arrows plunged into the wall?"
"This power is indeed unavailable..."
"Boom-Boom-Boom-"
The officials' discussions were not over yet, and a sound of a wall falling from afar came.
Everyone looked in the sound and saw that the wall with three arrows was just now, and they were about to collapse.
The bricks fell down.
"this--"
"How is this possible?"
"That's a wall. When I came here just now, I've seen it. It was made of the best red bricks."
"Why were it shot by three arrows?" Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, was full of incredible expressions.
He just saw that the walls were made of red bricks.
He secretly scolded Zhao Chen for being a loser in his heart.
Red bricks can be much stronger than blue bricks and have lower output, so the price outside is much more expensive than blue bricks.
Isn’t it a waste to build a useless wall with red bricks!
But now, the red brick wall two hundred feet away was directly knocked down by the Eight Niu Crossbow.
Duan Lun felt that his worldview had collapsed.
In the distance, a guard ran over with three arrows and bowed to stand in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the red brick wall two hundred feet away was collapsed. This is an arrow." When the guard said this, his face was filled with an unbelievable shock.
The emperor's guards were all masters in the army.
Having been on the battlefield is the most basic requirement.
But even they have never seen such a powerful weapon.
In addition to shock, there was also a hint of joy in my heart.
If this weapon can be used on the battlefield, then...
"Get back." The emperor waved his hand and smiled.
The power of the Eight Niu Crossbow has been demonstrated.
It was time to talk about the main business, after all, the emperor was still waiting to share the 46% stake with Zhao Chen.
"My dear friends, how powerful are these Eight Cow Crossbows?" the emperor asked the officials with a smile, holding a hand warmer pot in his hand.
"Such power is a magical weapon!"
"I have only seen you in my life."
"With this weapon, my Tang Dynasty will be invincible."
Although it is suspected of flattery, the officials do believe in the horror of this thing.
"What you are saying is reasonable, but these eight ox crossbows are not that easy to get."
"This is also the reason why I invite you all to come together today." A hint of melancholy appeared on the emperor's face.
