Hearing Qin Hao's question, Wen Zhong and the other three finally came back to their senses.
"Your Majesty, if all the warhorses of our Great Shang army are equipped with these three items, this old minister can guarantee with my head that if we were to attack the Dongyi tribe, this old minister will definitely be able to wipe them out and expand the territory of Great Shang!”Wen Zhong said excitedly.
Even when he was talking to Qin Hao, his eyes never left the saddle, stirrings, and reins. He looked very excited.
Shang Rong was also very excited after seeing the saddle and other items, but he quickly recovered. Then, he looked at the things in the hands of the other servants and understood a little. He asked,"Your Majesty just said that there is a way to let our soldiers have riding skills that are not inferior to Dongyi. Now that we have saddles, stirrels, and reins, as long as we train them, our soldiers 'riding skills will not be inferior to Dongyi.”
"But the king also said that it can allow our soldiers to have archery skills that are not inferior to the Quan Rong tribe. I believe the king has thought of a good way, right?”
"Hahahahahaha! The Prime Minister is right. Dear ministers, come and see the power of another thing I made!”
Qin Hao said with a smile. Then, he took something similar to a bow from the hands of another chamberlain. However, this thing was very different from an ordinary bow. Moreover, in the middle of the bow, there was a piece of wood with seven grooves.
With the surprise brought by the saddle, stirrups, and reins, Wen Zhong, Shang Rong, and the others were immediately attracted to this strange-looking bow.
Wen Zhong and the others could still understand the saddle and other items just now. However, they could not understand the thing that Qin Hao took out that looked like a bow.
But this time, Qin Hao still didn't give any explanation. He took seven arrows that were shorter than ordinary arrows but didn't look any different from ordinary arrows from the hands of one of the chamberlains. Then, he placed them into the wooden groove in the middle of the item.
Then, Wen Zhong and the others saw Qin Hao standing in a very strange posture, as if he was aiming at a palace lantern in the study.
"Pa da!"
Then, Wen Zhong and the others saw Qin Hao's index finger gently press on the handle of this strange thing.
"Sou! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
After Qin Hao pressed his finger down, the seven arrows that were shorter than ordinary arrows were shot out. The sound of the seven arrows piercing through the air sounded almost at the same time. Immediately after, the seven palace lanterns in different positions in the study were shot out at the same time.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
Wen Zhong and the others gasped, especially Wen Zhong, Huang Gun, and Huang Feihu. They were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
The three of them were generals, so they naturally knew how difficult it would be to shoot seven arrows at once, and all seven arrows hit the target.
Especially since the seven arrows had extinguished seven palace lanterns that were placed in different positions.
Moreover, although this was only a study, it was the study of the king of a country. Its size was no different from a palace, and its surface area was not ordinary. The palace lantern closest to Qin Hao was almost a hundred feet away. (During the Shang Dynasty, the units of measurement were feet and inches. Their conversion relationship was that one foot was equal to 10 inches, and one inch was equal to 10 minutes. Converted to the current centimeter unit, one foot was equal to 15.8 centimeters, one inch was equal to 1.58 centimeters, and one minute was equal to 0.158 centimeters.))
In other words, the palace lantern closest to Qin Hao was about ten meters away. Moreover, at such a distance, the flame inside the lantern was very small.
If an ordinary archer stood in Qin Hao's current position and shot an arrow, it would be considered very good if it could hit the flame of the palace lamp closest to him.
However, Qin Hao had shot out seven arrows at once just now!
"Unbelievable!"
"Your Majesty, although your archery skills were very good in the past, they weren't at this level. Could it be that you've been practicing archery recently? But that's not right. You shot seven arrows at once, and every arrow hit the target. It's impossible to refine it without ten or even decades!”
Wen Zhong, Huang Gun, Huang Feihu, and the others exclaimed in disbelief.
Hearing Shang Rong's words, Wen Zhong and the others also reacted. He said,"Great King, it seems that the item in your hand is similar to the saddle and stirrups. It can allow our soldiers to have a treasure that is not inferior to the archery skills of the Quan Rong clan!”
"Prime Minister and Grand Preceptor are right!"
Qin Hao looked at Wen Zhong, Huang Gun, and Huang Feihu and said,""This thing is called a crossbow. It can pierce armor within a hundred steps and take a person's life within three hundred steps.”
"As the name suggests, a triple repeating crossbow can shoot three arrows at once. This one in my hand is a seven repeating crossbow, so it can shoot seven arrows at once. As long as you learn the special aiming method that I invented, even a new recruit can quickly become an expert with a crossbow. Moreover, the accuracy is extremely high, enough to kill an armored knight who has spent his entire life training. At that time, every soldier of my Great Shang will become a godly archer who can shoot without missing a beat!”
"Grand Preceptor, Prime Minister, King Wuwei, King Wucheng, let me ask you, if every soldier of Great Shang can use bows and crossbows, then how can the archery skills of the Quan Rong tribe do anything to Great Shang?”Qin Hao said in high spirits.
"Your Majesty, can you let me try this bow?”At this moment, Wen Zhong suddenly said.
"Of course! Men, bring seven more arrows!”
Qin Hao asked the chamberlain to take out seven arrows and install them. He then explained the usage of the bow to Wen Zhong in detail. In fact, the so-called usage method was the aiming method of three points and one line. For Wen Zhong, who had been through many battles and was a veteran of the Golden Immortal realm, it was very simple.
After listening to Qin Hao's explanation, Wen Zhong completely understood how to use the bow. He held the bow in his hand and familiarized himself with it. Then, he raised the bow and shot it at the seven palace lanterns in the other direction of the study.
"Sou! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of another seven arrows piercing through the air suddenly sounded. Immediately after, another seven palace lanterns were extinguished. Fourteen palace lanterns were extinguished in a row, causing the light in the study to suddenly darken.
"Good! Good! Good!"
After shooting the arrow, Wen Zhong excitedly said three times. He did not care about the darkness in the hall and directly bowed to Qin Hao and said,"This bow is easy to use and has great destructive power. If the king can create such a treasure, then our Great Shang army will be able to easily wipe out the Quan Rong clan!”
"Your Majesty, let this old minister try!”
Huang Gun couldn't hold back his excitement. He took the seven-bolt crossbow from Wen Zhong's hand and seven arrows from the chamberlain's hand. He installed them according to Qin Hao's instructions and aimed at the palace lantern.
"Sou! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
With seven air-piercing sounds, the lights of seven more palace lanterns were extinguished.
The study was dimly lit just now, but it was now completely dark. The servants standing at the side quickly called for someone to light the lights again.
After shooting the arrow, Huang Gun, like Wen Zhong, did not care about the dim light at all. He bowed to Qin Hao and said,"Thanks to Great King Hong, we first have the three treasures of the cavalry, the saddle, the stirrups, and the reins. Now, with the appearance of this crossbow, our Great Shang soldiers will definitely be able to wipe out Dongyi, Quan Rong, and the other foreign races.”
