Straight man of steel

Chapter 158 I want to drink some soup

The following afternoon.

Ji Fu led a team of people and showed up outside Zhang's mansion with Old Zhao.

Lao Zhao directly led Ji Fu to the main building to meet Zhang Yuan.

"The place where you live is much better than the small courtyard I live in outside Chang'an City."

As soon as he came up, Ji Fu didn't ask about the three-bow bed crossbow, and he probably asked everything he should ask on the road.

Looking at the way Jifu looked at his family, Zhang Yuan quickly pulled Jifu into the living room in front.

"Mr. Jifu is really joking. What is the countryside?"

Ji Fu glanced at Zhang Yuan and said.

"Can the royal garden also be called a rural place?"

Zhang Yuan couldn't be bothered to talk to this old thief, so he glared at Old Zhao and said.

"Didn't I tell you that distinguished guests should be arranged in the living room?
How come someone leads to the main building? "

Zhang Yuan was still very uncomfortable when Ji Fu appeared directly in front of Zhang Yuan. There were not many people at home, so Lao Zhao even forgot some rules.

If you are doing something that is shameful to others, it is not a secret to bring people in directly.

Only then did Lao Zhao realize something was wrong.

Ji Fu is neither Chu Da nor Li Jian. This person, including Tian Fu, may become Zhang Yuan's enemy in the future.

"It's all villains who are bad. If you lose the rules, villains should be punished."

"Go down and take someone to prepare the three-bow bed crossbow, and I will let Mr. Jifu watch it later."

"Well, I'll go down and take care of it now."

He reprimanded Lao Zhao in front of Ji Fu, which made Ji Fu a little unhappy.

"Do you think the old man is an outsider? Or are you trying to get more benefits for later things?

Or is it both? "

Zhang Yuan didn't blush when Jifu saw his original intention.

Although both aspects must be included, but it must not be said that way, right?

"Of course I want to ask for more things, it's not easy to get something good.

Junhou eats meat, so he also wants the people below to drink some soup, right? "

In fact, people like Tian Fu Jifu are not afraid of those who demand too much, but those who are selfless and don't think about themselves in anything.

"If it really has the effect that your housekeeper said, Junhou will naturally meet your kid's requirements, but you don't want to eat it and become a fat man."

Zhang Yuan smiled and nodded, then stretched out his hand to signal Ji Fu to move out and watch.

"Boys naturally know how to do it, they should be ready, sir, follow me out to have a look."

There is nothing surprising about the three-bow bed crossbow on the surface. If there are, there are only the three bows and the arrow on the bowstring that looks thicker than a spear.

"It looks really extraordinary, but I just don't know if such a long and thick arrow can fly five hundred feet."

Jifu looked at the three bow bed crossbow and expressed his opinion.

Yesterday, I didn't pull the full shot and shot five hundred feet away. There are more people today than yesterday, so there must be no problem with five hundred feet.

"Mr. Jifu, let me borrow your guards."

Jifu nodded, not minding Zhang Yuan's words.

With the addition of ten more guards and the fifty strong men from yesterday, it was finally possible to fully pull the crossbow on the bed today.

After cutting off the traction rope, there were several sounds of piercing through the air, and the arrow disappeared with a whoosh.

"So fast! So far!"

Jifu let out a sound of surprise.

"Sir, you can send someone to see how far it is."

Zhang Yuan is very confident now, and the effect is much better than yesterday.

Ji Fu didn't say anything, and waved his hand to tell the guards who had just pulled the rope to measure the distance. Naturally, this kind of thing that needs to be strictly dealt with must be done by oneself, and the data obtained are real.

"The three-bow bed crossbow requires too much manpower, doesn't it?"

When the guards went to measure the distance, Ji Fu was not idle, and pointed out the weakness of the three-bow bed crossbow in one gulp.

Now the big man doesn't even know how many cattle are lacking in the cultivated land, let alone get a bunch of cattle to go to the battlefield.

The Zhang family can only slaughter a cow every year on the sacrificial day, and only during that time can they eat beef. If they slaughtered cows in normal times, it would be considered a violation of the Han law.

Therefore, the three-bow bed crossbow can only be manipulated by manpower.

"There is no other way, why do I have more Han people than livestock?

According to me, fighting is the job of professional soldiers, and those slave soldiers can't play much role.

Letting them deal with the Huns is simply dying in vain, it is better to let them control these bed crossbows in the rear.

In this way, more Huns were killed than they killed on the battlefield. "

For Zhang Yuan's opinion, Ji Fu only agrees with half of it.

"The lives of those people are not as good as those of the armored soldiers of the Han Dynasty, and being able to waste some of the strength of the Huns also played their role.

But your three-bow bed crossbow will not be of much use on the battlefield, right? "

The bed crossbow is like a cannon, it can only play its greatest role in positional battles.

What Jifu saw was very good, and Zhang Yuan didn't bother to refute anything. He couldn't tell Jifu now that Liu Che would use tricks to make the Huns attack the city next year.

"As long as the distance is far enough, when the Huns charge, two rounds of volley can kill many Huns."

Now it is only measuring the distance, not the power.

When Liu Chetian Fu and others saw the power of the three-bow crossbow, they could completely change their attitude towards war weapons.

Think about it, if there are a thousand three-bow bed crossbows, when the Huns charge, they will shoot two rounds of volleys. If you are lucky, you may be able to take thousands or even tens of thousands of Huns' lives.

Although this is just Zhang Yuan's imagination, if he works hard to realize his imagination, wouldn't it become a reality?
If it can really play such a big role, it is not a problem for Zhang Yuan to be a Marquis.

The time for chatting quickly passed, and Jifu's guards also returned.

"Sir, the arrow in the middle flew a distance of 650 feet."

After hearing this, Jifu's expression changed.

After he heard it from Lao Zhao at first, he never really believed it from the bottom of his heart.

It was all an old slave bragging about his master's exploits.

But when the facts were before his eyes, he could only force himself to accept it all.

"Call everyone back, we will take these three three-bow crossbows back to Chang'an now."

"Sir, don't you want to look at the distance of those arrows again?"

Jifu shook his head.

"No need, this is enough for now."

Seeing that Jifu could not be stabilized anymore, Zhang Yuan felt from the bottom of his heart that he had accomplished this matter.

"Sir, I will go with you to Chang'an to meet the Lord, and then follow the Lord to meet His Majesty."

Ji Fu glanced at Zhang Yuan and nodded, agreeing.

If Zhang Yuan wanted to be transferred from Tingwei's Mansion, he could only let Liu Che let go.
