Chapter 681: Sword in Hand
Chen Xiao nodded and said, "This is the formula that Old Qin modified. I modified another one before, but it's not as powerful and is more suitable for killing in a small area."
During this period of time, Chen Xiao could be said to have devoted his entire life to the research on the application of gunpowder, and he could talk about it very clearly.
He and Old Qin had different research directions. Old Qin liked to maximize the power of gunpowder and was working on large-scale lethal weapons, while Shen Xiao was more inclined to research small-scale lethal weapons that could be equipped by individual soldiers.
The two people are heading in different directions, but there is no conflict, and each has achieved results.
"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see what Shen Xiao has made. I guarantee it will blind you!" Old Qin laughed and led the way.
Liang Cheng and Zheng Shicheng smiled at each other and followed him.
Zhang Zhiyao hadn't recovered from his shock until Sheng Ze called out to him, "Master Zhang, let's go."
"Oh, okay, I'll be right there." Zhang Zhiyao responded hurriedly.
Oh my god! It's so scary! If the Hubei Army uses the things just now on the battlefield in the future, who will be the opponent?
At this moment, Zhang Zhiyao was extremely glad for his original decision. If he had gone against His Highness and Liang Cheng, his fate would probably be similar to that small hill just now.
The only thing that made him regretful was that his family was still in Yunzhou, and he didn't know when he would have the chance to see them again.
Before Zhang Zhiyao was sent to northern Hubei, he had already arranged a retreat for his family. For example, Zhang Dong was brought directly to northern Hubei, while the old lady, his wife and concubines in the family were arranged by his wife to slowly move to the mountains and forests of his hometown in Yunzhou.
He received the news when King Zhao started the rebellion. All his family members had been moved back to their hometown, and only a few of his sons who often appeared in public were still in the capital.
It was also because of this that he had no worries and brought Zhang Dong with him to surrender.
Now it seems that his decision was absolutely correct.
After seeing what Shen Xiao had made, Zhang Zhiyao silently lit a candle for Sheng Zhan and King Zhao in his heart, and at the same time, a sense of pride arose in his heart.
Is he still afraid of not being able to realize his ambitions by standing together with such a powerful Hubei?
Shen Xiao studied the design of cold weapons, so what he made was a combination of gunpowder and cold weapons.
For example, Sheng Ze picked up a delicate crossbow at this time, "This is newly made."
"Yes, I modified it based on the previous design of Mr. Qin. I changed it from three arrows to seven arrows." Shen Xiao nodded, still a little embarrassed.
Liang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Shoot seven arrows in a row for me to see."
He took the crossbow from Sheng Ze, loaded it with arrows on the spot, aimed at the target a hundred meters away, and pressed the switch of the crossbow.
"Don't." Shen Xiao raised his hand, but before he could say anything to stop him, Liang Cheng's arrow had already been shot out.
Then Zhang Zhiyao felt that he had to light a few more candles for Sheng Zhan and King Zhao.
The target was blown away where Liang Cheng was aiming, and a small gust of air was raised around it, blowing the dust on the ground everywhere.
Liang Chengdu was shocked. "This is not a rocket, it should be called a gunpowder arrow."
Chen Xiao picked up an arrow and said, "Yes, this type of arrow has a layer of gunpowder wrapped around the head. The force of the arrow will cause it to explode. A single shot is more powerful than an ordinary arrow, and firing seven arrows in a row will cause a small explosion."
