Zheng Sheng played with the crossbow in his hand and couldn't put it down.

Suddenly, he remembered the person who invented the crossbow, and turned to look at Song Tianming.

"This crossbow is extremely exquisite and powerful. Even the elderly, weak, women and children who are powerless can get started quickly with a little training."

"I wonder how Mr. Song came up with the idea to make this thing?"

After saying that, Zheng Sheng felt that his words were a little abrupt and hurriedly explained.

"Mr. Xiao Song, I don't mean that. I just feel that such a weapon should be developed by those who are familiar with weapons. I heard that you..."

Looking at Zheng Sheng's expression of wanting to speak but stopping, Song Tianming smiled slightly and took out the words he had prepared long ago.

"I'm just a scholar. How to understand weapons making, right?"

Zheng Sheng smiled awkwardly and nodded slightly.

Even the followers behind him nodded silently.

Only the old lady had a smile on her face and raised her head high.

It seems that he invented the crossbow.

"My father was also a parent official during his lifetime. He often explained some military tactics to me, and occasionally asked me to practice riding horses and archery."

"But reading is OK, but shooting archery is still too tired for me. The first few strokes are OK, but I can't draw the bow later, so I thought about taking advantage of the opportunity and fiddling with this little thing."

"Later, my family fell into trouble, and I gradually forgot this little thing I invented."

"It was not until someone in the village was injured by a wild boar and almost died that I remembered to take out the crossbow arrows, improve them, and throw them into hunting."

Everyone was sighing when they heard Song Tianming's story. Unexpectedly, Mr. Song's original intention of inventing crossbow arrows was to be unable to draw bows and arrows.

However, this also reflects Mr. Song's talent in military weapons research.

Zheng Sheng nodded silently, walked to the earthen wall, and reached out to pull out the crossbow arrows on it.

The dirt on the earth wall flickered all over the ground.

There are several places that are directly penetrated, and through the gaps through which the arrows pass, you can see things outside.

Everyone took this scene in sight.

Song Tianming suddenly curled the corners of his mouth, and he remembered something interesting.

I don’t know how long it took for the man who drilled the wall to steal the light. If he had this crossbow, it would be a blink of an eye.

Soon, his thoughts were pulled back by Zheng Sheng.

"Mr. Xiao Song, I have two things to come here this time. First, the Marquis ordered me to come and visit the old minister."

"The second is to find this object and make this object, and to see who is the capable man who can make crossbow arrows."

"Since the general is interested, he is willing to take the initiative to present the craftsmanship of crossbows and crossbows to the Dingbei Army, but I also have a condition."

Song Tianming also knew in his heart that the purpose of this group of people was nothing more than to bow and crossbow. Instead of letting the other party go around, it was better to take the initiative to propose it and win some benefits for himself.

While you can still talk calmly now, then talk carefully. Otherwise, once the other party turns against each other, it will not be what he said.

He still has the chance to resist on the bandits, but in front of the army, he is an ant.

He still understands the principle that a man is guilty of possessing a treasure.

Besides, if you do this well, you will have a big backer and will be more convenient for you to act in the future.

"Oh? It's rare to see people who dare to negotiate terms with us in Peking University. But our Marquis is very interested in this thing, let's talk about it."

Zheng Sheng looked at Song Tianming with great interest and admired him more.

"I hope the general will help us eliminate the bandits. Afterwards, I will tell you all the methods of making the crossbow."

"I promise you."

Zheng Sheng agreed without hesitation, and they hated these bandits and bandits very much.

Why do the soldiers fight to the battlefield and fight to the death?

It’s not just to allow the families behind me to live and work in peace and contentment.

But these bandits were doing evil in the rear, how could they not be angry?

"Then I will thank the general for my fellow villagers."

Song Tianming bowed with both hands and looked at Zheng Sheng gratefully.

Zheng Sheng stepped forward to support Song Tianming.

"If Mr. Xiao Song is right, I should thank you for the soldiers."

Both sides made courtesy and came to dinner.

Under the guidance of the old lady, everyone sat on the dining table.

The old lady also invested a lot and brought all the big fish and pheasants that she usually didn't want to eat, as well as a whole pot of rice.

When the food was served, the group of people feasted on it. Because the army prohibited alcohol, they did not drink.

"Old family, we are relieved to see that you are living a good life."

Everyone was chatting and laughing.

"Oh, this is thanks to Mr. Xiao Song. These wild game were shot by the crossbow he invented."

"I heard that the bandits were going to attack the village. Can you tell me in detail? I am also a strategic subordinate."

"Mr. Xiao Song will tell you about this. He knows more about bandits."

Song Tianming pondered for a while and then told the story.

"This is the thing. A few days ago, I brought some prey to the city for sale..."

"bump……"

"Is this unreasonable? Do the government ignore it?"

Zheng Sheng's eyes were red, and his big hand suddenly slapped it. Perhaps because he remembered that he was eating, he had some force, which also made the soup in the pot and bowl splash a little.

"The government has only 500 troops and has been recuperating all year round. Who are the opponents of those bandits?"

The old lady spread her hands and smiled helplessly.

Zheng Sheng also calmed down and thought about solutions while eating.

When everyone put down their chopsticks, Zheng Sheng gave instructions.

"Zhang Guang, you go to Cangyang Zhechong Mansion to mobilize troops and gather here as quickly as possible. We have to let the bandits know that the home we are trying to defend is not for them to make trouble."

"yes."

Zhang Guang responded, stepped onto the war horse and left, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

Only the smoke rising all over the sky seemed to tell that someone had been here.

"Li Ershi, please return to the camp quickly and present the letter and this crossbow to the Marquis. There must be no delays on the way, and the letter and crossbow must not be lost, otherwise you will ask me about it."

Zheng Sheng called another confidant and wrote a letter and handed him over it. He also handed him over the crossbow that he had just come from Song Tianming.

"Subordinates obey the order."

Li Ershi took two things, stepped onto another war horse, and turned around and left.

"Next we just have to wait patiently."

Zheng Sheng pondered and then talked about family matters with the old friend.

The old lady has put down the stones in her heart these days, and she took Zheng Sheng and her group around the village.

In the afternoon, the sun is about to set.

A group of people walked towards the entrance of the village in a mighty manner, and the leaders were wearing armor and riding war horses.

The remaining two thousand were all wearing armor and holding blades, and the entire team showed a murderous atmosphere.

"Rest in place."

Zheng Sheng knew early that the team had arrived, and came to the entrance of the village and issued orders to more than 2,000 people.

Everyone sat on the ground in an orderly manner, took out the dry food on their bodies and ate them in big mouthfuls, and then took a nap in their spare time.

Song Tianming was also secretly shocked. He didn't expect that he could meet an organized and disciplined army when traveling through this world.

Zheng Sheng seemed to see the surprised look on Song Tianming's face, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows proudly.

Weapon production is not as good as you, but you are still too young to lead troops to fight.

The sun sets in the west and the sky gradually faded. All the soldiers stood up under Zheng Sheng's leadership and were ready to go.

"Brothers, why do we join the army? It is to keep our homes from bullying from foreign enemies, and to make our wives, children, and mothers live a good life."

"Now, we use countless blood and lives to block foreign enemies outside the country, but there are stingy people who are causing trouble in our homeland. What should brothers do?"

Zheng Sheng sat on the war horse and began to boost morale before sending troops.

"kill!"
