"There's an assassin!"

Someone shouted!

The people fled in all directions or hid themselves!

The originally bustling streets became empty in a matter of seconds.

"Who sent you?" Chao Man'er asked the other party a very childish question.

"Baili Tang!" One of the killers seemed to be in a good mood!

"You're kidding!" Chao Man'er naturally didn't believe it. If Baili Tang wanted to kill the three of them, why would he send more assassins? They were just in the palace, unarmed. It would be easy for Baili Tang to kill them.

Next to them, Chao Hong and Liang Wenqing had already started!

“Clang clang clang!”

Suddenly, there was a flash of swords and sabers!

After more than ten moves, Liang Wenqing's face changed drastically, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's the killer from Tianshalou!!"

Tianshalou, the largest, most mysterious and most terrifying killer organization in Jingguo!

Chao Hong had already noticed it and his face turned pale.

He was not afraid of life or death, but was afraid of the great revenge of the Chao family. He was speechless facing the countless wronged souls of the Chao family and the Chao family army!

At this moment, he thought of what Baili Tang said to him that day:

"You hate me for being useless. The more you hate me, the more you might kill me. The person behind the scenes will only hide in a corner, hugging a woman and celebrating with wine.

If I am gone, your Chao family's revenge will never be avenged in this lifetime. If you are gone, with your precious daughter's intelligence, I'm afraid she won't survive for many days!

Even the enemy can't find out who it is!"

Thinking of this, although Chao Hong was unwilling, he still shouted: "Wen Qing! Take Man'er away! Don't seek revenge in this life, just live well!"

Just as he was distracted, seven or eight arrows flew towards him from the dark!

There are also killers who shoot from behind!

"Daddy, let's go together... Ouch..."

"Man'er..."

Chao Man'er was hit by an arrow in the lower abdomen. Perhaps the arrowhead was poisonous, and she fainted in the blink of an eye!

Chao Hong's eyes were about to burst open, and he rushed forward without caring about anything else. However, more than ten killers quickly surrounded him, and he was about to die here.

"My Lord!" Liang Wenqing was also shot by an arrow. His calf was hit and he felt a tingling sensation. "The arrowhead is coated with numbing powder..."

“Ahhhhh!!!”

The king's uncle howled to the sky in grief and anger!

Why is this happening?

He is unwilling to accept it——

However, after he roared like that, miraculously, the killers surrounding him fell down one after another!

It turned out that all these killers were shot by arrows!

Could it be Baili Tang’s people?

Why was he still willing to save them and their daughter?

Many more killers rushed over, but fell down again!

A hundred meters away.

"Ah Si, do you want to die? Are you trying to steal my head again?"

"Shut up, Ah Liu! His Majesty said we're snipers and must not be exposed! We got another one! How cool!"

"Poor Ah Da, sent back to the palace by His Majesty... General Meng is known for his ability to shoot arrows through a hundred steps, but he's not necessarily any better than us! With this telescope... Hey, I think I saw another assassin hiding on the eaves!"

"I found one too!"

"Don't be anxious. Wait until you find more people, then take action together! These thieves have been hiding for a long time, and today they have finally all appeared!"

"What do you think? If the King's uncle found out that His Majesty had made them sitting ducks, would he be so angry that he'd come back to kill them?"

"What are you afraid of? With the divine bow and crossbow, I can easily kill the enemy within fifty strikes! If Your Majesty recognizes him, he is still the King's uncle; if Your Majesty does not recognize him, he is a traitor!"

Listen, the awareness of you and your daughter from the Chao family is not as good as that of a guard!

A total of twelve modern "divine crossbows" have been created so far.

The Song Dynasty's "Wu Jing Zong Yao" records various types of crossbows, of which the Chuangzi crossbow and the Shenbi bow are likely the most common. The Chuangzi crossbow was a heavy weapon that relied on the combined force of multiple large crossbows to fire a single arrow (spear). It often required more than a dozen people using mechanical forces to string the bow, and its range could reach 500 to 800 meters, making it a truly long-range weapon of the time.

However, the "Wenxian Tongkao" records that Song Taizu supervised the construction of the "Thousand-Step Crossbow", which was said to have a range of 3 miles (1,500 meters). However, it also records that the range of the bed crossbow supervised by Song Taizu was only 700 steps. If the "Thousand-Step Crossbow" could really shoot 3 miles, it is very likely that it used lighter arrows.

These were heavy crossbows, inconvenient to carry, and inaccurate, otherwise the Song Dynasty would not have been so easily defeated and ceded territory in exchange for peace.

Ordinary crossbows have good accuracy and can travel twice as far as bows and arrows, which is pretty good!

A talented general like Meng Fang can shoot through a willow leaf from a hundred paces away - meaning he can shoot through a designated willow leaf from a hundred paces away, and the lethality is quite good within a hundred paces.

But looking at the Jing Kingdom, how many people can shoot an arrow through the target from a hundred paces away?

A large number of ancient wars and modern light weapons wars are basically fought at a distance of about 50 meters or even less than 50 meters.

Even in modern warfare, the general engagement distance of light weapons does not exceed 250 meters, but the density and accuracy of firepower have been improved.

The modern crossbow provided by Baili Tang is a combination of military crossbows, with a designed grip and trigger. It is fast and powerful, much more powerful than a pistol, but slightly less powerful than a rifle.

Easy to carry, effective killing range is within 250 meters!

This crossbow is incredibly quiet when used, producing no sparks. Using a scope, it's incredibly accurate, allowing for silent kills. Especially within a range of a hundred meters, even the most naturally sensitive killer wouldn't be able to dodge it!

Powerful and accurate!
