The army quietly adjusted its formation outside the sharp bamboo stakes.
The men in black thought that their commander had been shot by an arrow, and that the tens of thousands of troops were retreating quietly!
Just when they thought that Qi Moli was like a wounded turtle in a jar, it would be easy to capture him alive with a hundred people!
As the saying goes, catch the leader first!
If Qi Moli is captured, even the most powerful army will be defeated and lose all its weapons and armor once it loses its backbone, right?
Then, a large number of men in black rushed towards Qi Moli at the same time!
Just then, a whistle sounded.
Before the men in black could react and figure out what was happening, they saw a dense rain of arrows whizzing towards them!
If the man in black had the leisure to pay attention at this moment, he would surely discover that every one of those hundred arrows had missed its target!
Qi Moli, with an arrow stuck in his chest, grabbed two men in black and protected himself tightly to avoid being accidentally injured.
When the last black-clad man's scream died away, Lei Ling rushed over and shouted:
"My Lord, are you okay?"
Lan Xiangkun also bypassed the bamboo stick array and quickly came to Qi Moli!
Together with Lei Ling, he pushed the two men in black who had been shot to pieces apart and asked worriedly:
"Ninth Prince, are you okay?"
Qi Moli let out a long sigh and said:
"These two are too fat!"
He pointed to the arrow stuck in his chest and said:
"Look!"
As he spoke, he heard the two deputy marshals gasp.
Qi Moli raised his hand, grasped the arrow feather, and pulled it out. The arrow head with a cold glow was pulled out!
He said to Lan Xiangkun:
"Uncle, I'm fine.
Before coming here, Xing'er gave me a protective suit so that I wouldn't be hurt.
Don't worry."
Seeing this, Lan Xiangkun felt relieved and didn't care how Qi Moli addressed him.
He patted Qi Moli's shoulder vigorously and laughed:
“You kid!
Get up quickly and see who these men in black are!"
Lei Ling was relieved to see that the prince was fine.
He picked up an arrow, waved to his cousin, and asked:
"Brother, is this thing used by your Western Suburbs Camp? I've never seen it before!"
Lei Heng took the arrow in his hand and said in a low voice, unable to conceal his excitement:
"Exactly! This is the crossbow the princess made specifically for our cavalry and archery battalion!
Isn’t it really exciting and awesome?”
After Lei Heng finished speaking, he ordered the cavalry and archery battalion to come and check the body of the man in black, and by the way, reflect on whether the angle of his arrow shooting just now was perfect.
This is the first actual combat for their Cavalry Archery Battalion!
When I return to Beijing, I will report my results to the princess!
When Lei Ling heard this, his head buzzed. What was going on?
Princess, have you developed a crossbow?
The princess... is the future King Mo Ying?
The second daughter of the Si family? The Princess of Anping County?
Isn’t she a fairy with superb medical skills? How come she can also make weapons?
How come... I've never heard Qianyin mention this before?!
After hearing what Lei Heng said, Lan Xiangkun also pulled out an arrow from the man in black.
I saw that the arrow was different from the arrows used by ordinary bows and was much shorter!
He couldn't help asking:
"Your Majesty, was this thing really made by my Xing'er?"
He was just behind the bamboo stick formation, watching the men in black attacking Qi Moli, when suddenly three teams of soldiers stood out from the army!
They held weapons that were similar to bows and arrows but more sophisticated than bows and arrows, and shot several arrows continuously and quickly without any effort!
Almost within three breaths, the hundred or so men in black were all dead!
What a powerful weapon this is?
He didn't ask before because he was afraid that this thing was the secret weapon of the Western Suburbs Camp.
Now I know that this thing was made by my little niece, so it wouldn't hurt to ask!
Qi Moli waved his hand and called over a soldier from the Cavalry Battalion who was holding a crossbow. He took the crossbow from him and said:
"That's right, this thing is called a crossbow. Xing'er drew the picture herself, and I asked a craftsman to make it.
Uncle, please look, this crossbow can shoot farther than a bow and arrow, and it has its own aiming function, so it is extremely powerful.
My uncle has been stationed in Fencheng for three years, so he must know that the Hanlan cavalry archers are best at shooting two arrows with one arrow!
However, the crossbow made by Xing'er can fire five arrows in a row!
As long as the soldiers of the Cavalry Battalion cooperate well, we can kill people in a moment's notice!"
Lan Xiangkun took the crossbow and tried it briefly under Qi Moli's guidance!
He looked at the arrow that had accurately hit the tree trunk more than ten feet away and exclaimed:
"It's really powerful, accurate, and easy to use!
My little girl Xing is so smart!"
While he was happy, he suddenly cursed secretly:
"Damn Si Junshan, he can't even protect such a good child!"
When Qi Moli heard this, his eyes flashed, "Good scolding!"
The Lan family is really great!
Lan Xiangan returned the crossbow to the soldier from the Cavalry Camp, glanced at the army stationed behind the bamboo stick formation, and said:
"It is a blessing for us, the soldiers of Longyin, to have such weapons.
However, we still need to be cautious about this matter.
My Lord, please do not let anyone else know that this thing was made by Xing'er."
Qi Moli naturally knew that a man is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure.
How dare he bring trouble to his own little girl?
He nodded and said:
"My uncle is absolutely right. This matter has been passed down. Apart from my uncle and General Lei, no one else knows about it."
Soon, after the men in black had finished their inspection, Lei Heng strode over and said:
