Emperor: When will the Seventh Prince rebel? I will open the city gates to welcome him.

Hong Xuan looked at these skilled craftsmen and said:

"This king knows, but you don't know why this king invited you here."

"Then I will tell you that I need you to make a special military crossbow."

Han Junru, the general in the audience, said respectfully:

"King of Zhenbei, I remember that the Yuzhou Army Arsenal has tens of thousands of crossbows. The army is not short of crossbows!"

Hongxuan smiled and said:

"The crossbow I want to make is extremely powerful. Even if you wear armor, you will not be able to withstand the shooting of the crossbow."

"Not only that, the crossbow I made can also fire continuously."

As soon as Hongxuan said this, all of His Highness' skilled craftsmen were in an uproar.

Liao Duansheng said respectfully: "King of Zhenbei, I am a craftsman who makes military crossbows. I have never heard of a military crossbow that can penetrate armor and fire continuously."

"So this king needs some of you to help."

"Of course, this is not something I made up out of thin air. In fact, I have seen and used the military crossbow that I just mentioned, which has great power in continuous firing."

Hongxuan said.

He told the craftsmen this because he didn't want them to feel that the objects they were making did not exist.

Actually it is.

The principle is not difficult.

The principle used is the lever principle of the ring gyroscope.

The bowstring of a military crossbow only needs to be tripled on the original basis.

Hongxuan drew the blueprint directly based on his memory.

When the archers saw the blueprint drawn by Hong Xuan, they all sighed:

"Your Majesty! You are truly a man from heaven. You can actually perform such an incredible shooting move! I admire you so much now!"

"Your Majesty, the double-arm axle you added not only more than doubles the power, but also makes pulling the string much easier. I admire you so much!"

All the skilled craftsmen were impressed.

In fact, this compound continuous-fire military crossbow is nothing.

I have seen real objects that are much more advanced than this military crossbow.

How could his vision be compared with those backward and ignorant people of Dafeng?

"Haha! These are nothing! When we get to the northern border and return to the Zhenbei Palace, I can work together with you to build a steam engine."

"When you see the steam engine, you won't think the composite crossbow I'm drawing for you now is anything special."

Everyone thought the land in the north was barren.

But actually.

There are huge amounts of ore and coal underground.

It is the best place to develop infrastructure.

Hongxuan wants to apply all the items that can be created from his memories of his past life to this Dafeng world.

After returning to the northern border, Hongxuan will immediately start researching black gunpowder.

Only black powder can be developed.

Then manufacturing muskets will not be a problem, and by then our army will sweep across the world.

Hongxuan looked at the three hundred craftsmen in the hall.

"All of you are only responsible for manufacturing a part of it. You must not collude with each other and leak this compound rapid-fire military crossbow."

"I trust you. If this compound rapid-fire crossbow is leaked out, all of you will be killed."

All three hundred of His Highness's craftsmen knelt on the ground.

"I dare not. We will never leak such important drawings. If anyone leaks them, we will die as a token of our guilt."

Hongxuan nodded.

In fact, I have a way to prevent it from being leaked. Even if someone else gets it, they won’t be able to produce it.

When Hongxuan was able to manufacture equipment, he created anti-locking devices such as the Lu lock.

"Alright! Go to the military arsenal and take out the crossbows for improvement."

Hongxuan certainly didn't ask these craftsmen to make new ones.

Instead, they directly transform the existing ones.

This can save a lot of time.

When Hongxuan came to Yuzhou, he arranged everything he could.

Although he stayed in Yuzhang for a few days, it was worth it. From then on, Yuzhou became Hongxuan's back garden.

And Northern Yan became Hongxuan's base.

A day has passed.

These skilled craftsmen improved all the original military crossbows.

Hongxuan took out a small number of these improved military crossbows.

The commander and brigade commander of the First Corps came to the shooting range

Commander Fan Jingtao, Deputy Commander Yu Shunshen

Brigade Commanders: Mai Qingchang, You Wenxu, Lu Songlong

Brigade Commanders: Gong Fangyi, Zeng Ying, Zhu Yaoshi

The earliest captain of the guards who followed Hongxuan

Zhao Bencai, Peng Fulai, Teng Wanzhi, Zhuang Wenqiang, Yu Deshen, Deng Yongmen, Li Donglin.

They all held the Kongming compound military crossbow that had been improved at the shooting range.

Hongxuan looked at the improved composite military crossbow.

The style is exactly the same as the one he designed, and he is very satisfied.

"Now we just need to test how powerful it is."

In fact, he didn't need to try, he knew that the power of the composite crossbow in his hand was several times stronger than the original one.

When a crossbow arrow is shot out with this force, almost nothing can stop its penetrating power.

He knew it in his heart, but it was the first time for his subordinates to see this thing.

He ordered the Qilin Guards to prepare the target.

"All of you can give it a try."

Hongxuan said, pointing at the target in the distance.

Fan Jingtao held the composite crossbow and said, "Why are there pulleys installed on both ends of this crossbow? The crossbow string is several times thicker than the original one, and there is also a device for loading crossbow arrows."

He had never seen such strange equipment.

"Yes! What on earth is this? Why is this the first time I have seen such a rare bow and arrow?"

"How about trying out its power?"

Fan Jingtao picked up the composite military crossbow, aimed at the target in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

"call out!"

The speed is unimaginable.

The distant target was hit directly.

Not only that, the armor of the target in the distance was shot directly through.

Fan Jingtao was completely stunned. He didn't expect that the crossbow in his hand could actually penetrate the armor.

The double rollers acting on the crossbow arrow can double the pulling force and increase the thickness of the crossbow string.

"Oh my God, the power is so great!" Zhao Bencai was completely stunned.

The others ran to the target and saw that the crossbow arrow directly penetrated the thick armor. If it happened on the battlefield, the enemy would be killed on the spot even if he was wearing armor.

Hongxuan asked each of their backbone members to take turns to try out the composite military crossbow in their hands.

Everyone was filled with ecstasy.

With such advanced weapons, they are invincible on the battlefield.

With weapons like this, why should we be afraid of Beishang?

"Your Highness, our White Tiger Team must be equipped with such crossbows!" Zhuang Wenqiang said excitedly.

"My Suzaku team must also be equipped with such military crossbows!" Teng Wanzhi said excitedly.

All of King Zhenbei's men knelt on one knee and shouted "King Zhenbei".

Equip your team with compound crossbows.

With such a magical weapon in hand, the soldiers led by him are invincible.

It can be said that the continuous-fire compound military crossbow in their hands is the most powerful weapon of this era, without a doubt.
