Chapter 65: The Archer Bian Yuanheng
Chapter 65: Archer Bian Yuanheng
The boat's draft is very low, and you can see that the boat's gang is only one or two feet away from the water surface. If you encounter strong winds and waves, the boat will definitely be destroyed. However, it is all inland rivers, not the sea, with calm waves and sparkling waves.
It seems that you can't be so greedy next time. The biggest enemy of a person is his own inner demon. If you are too greedy, you will easily be confused by interests. You must always be sober.
However, whenever Zhang Yang turned his head and saw the ship of iron ore behind him, his inner excitement could not be suppressed. How much fine iron can be extracted from this ship of iron ore? Only with iron can one have advanced weapons.
The bow of the boat split the water surface, and the water splashed on both sides. Although the wind was strong, the sails were bulging, the boat speed was still very slow. Moreover, it was very troublesome to turn the sail in advance, so that the hull reluctantly turned slowly at a small angle. The boat was too heavy.
In the cabin, the men who were carrying ore just now were sitting, whispering, wondering what the place they were about to arrive was like, can they live a life of food and clothing without worries?
Bian Yuanheng looked at the Taxin lying beside him and looked at the combo crossbow beside him. This combo crossbow is smaller than the hunting bow he used, but it is much more exquisite. Moreover, it can be launched continuously to reduce the time of pause in the middle. He likes this kind of thing very much in his heart.
"Can I take a look?" Bian Yuanheng and Shi Xin said.
"It's okay to see it, it costs twenty cents, you can only see it, not touch it." Shi Xin said lightly.
"Hmph! Money is enchanted!" said another man next to him.
"This is a secret weapon invented by my elder brother. You cannot move without permission." Shi Xin casually arranged a high-sounding excuse.
"Shixin, let Yuanheng use this combo crossbow. You want to teach him how to use it." Zhang Yang suddenly walked in and said.
"Brother..." Shi Xin didn't believe his ears. This combo crossbow has been with him for a long time. He has used it easily. Even the trigger was smoothed by his fingers. He gave it to Yuanheng? No way!
Yuanheng was also shocked when he heard that Zhang Yang was going to give him the combo crossbow to use, and his eyes showed great gratitude.
"Not only is this combo crossbow, but also the large combo crossbow I asked you to make, and it will be handed over to Yuanheng for use when you complete this. If you do this well, when my new musket comes out, you will be given priority." Zhang Yang ordered and gave some benefits.
Sure enough, Shi Xin's eyes lit up: New musket? Wouldn't that be more powerful than a storm?
"Okay, no problem." Shi Xin immediately started working: "The launching process of this combo crossbow is like this: pulling the lever, winding the string, aiming at three points and one line..."
Zhang Yang looked at Shixin explaining to Yuanheng intently, and then he left the cabin with satisfaction.
A small means and a small favor made Bian Yuanheng devote himself to himself. Moreover, he needed talents around him, and in order to cultivate talents, he was willing to create opportunities for these people.
The ship left the winding river and entered Desheng Lake.
In order to cover up, he did not walk through the big river to avoid encountering other ships. He might be recognized as robbed grain ships. The government and Furong Village knew that they had a meaningless battle, so they would probably have stripped themselves.
After entering Desheng Lake, it feels like returning to my own home. The reeds here have become so familiar.
After leaving Li Bosheng's lead, Zhang Yang knew how to get there based on his impression alone, without even looking at the waterway map.
When we arrived at the base, it was almost dusk, and the red sunset in the sky burned half of the sky.
Tang He Jiang Island's defense work has been done well. Although he only had a few people left under his command, the defense is still in order. When the ship was about to approach the base, it was discovered.
However, obviously, they were not as reckless as Shiyi. They found that it was their elder brother Zhang Shicheng standing on the bow of the boat, and immediately cheered on the island.
"Brother is back!"
"Quickly, let's go out to greet you!"
Tang He and a few people walked towards the pier to the east with big strides.
There was another boat parked by the dock, which was Shiyi and Li Bosheng and his men who had already arrived ashore in advance.
I wonder how they settled down? Zhang Yang thought to himself.
The two ships stopped next to each other. When Zhang Yang got off the boat, he was hugged by the oncoming Tang and his arms.
"Brother, I miss you so much!"
"Don't, stay away from me, why do you smell so bad? How many days have you not taken a shower?"
"Is there any? I remember washing it once last year..."
"Stay away from me!"
Li Bosheng and Shi Xin also got off the ship.
When Tang He saw so many middle-aged men coming down from the boat, he was so happy that he opened his mouth wide, revealing the leftover leaves of yesterday in his teeth.
"Brother, you promised me last time that you said you would come again, so give me some..."
Zhang Yang ignored him and shouted at the crowd that came down: "Yuanheng, come here!"
"Yes, brother!" Yuanheng took off his hunting bow and quivering his back, and ran over quickly with the combo crossbow he had just obtained.
Tang He stared at Bian Yuanheng intently. Based on his experience, the man in front of him had sharp eyes, steady steps, and smooth breathing. He must be an archer who was hit by every attack!
"Brother, you call me?"
"Yes, this is Tang He. He is responsible for the defense of our island. You can follow him in the future." Zhang Yang began to assign tasks.
"Yes, brother." Tang He turned his head, looked at Tang He who was higher than him, and said, "Brother Tang."
Tang He didn't look at him, raised his head proudly, looking for something at all.
Bian Yuanheng felt depressed, why are you pretending to be cool? If the boss hadn't told me to follow you, I would have ignored you!
Suddenly, Tang He raised his left hand: "Phot the wild duck down for me."
With the direction of soup and fingers, a wild duck flew through the sky tweeting, as if showing off, it flew very low and fast. It seemed that with its experience, it was not dangerous to fly at this speed.
It turned out to be a test of himself? Bian Yuanheng had no time to take out his cross-body hunting bow, raised the combo crossbow in his hand, pulled the pull rod quickly, aimed, and the arrow came out quickly!
"Ga, ga." The wild duck found the incoming arrow, waved its wings desperately, and flew upwards.
The arrow rubbed its lower body and flew over.
It looked down, as if it was mocking the person below.
Suddenly, its pupils dilated, and at some point another arrow flew, and it was closer than before.
"Puff!" The sharp arrow accurately penetrated its chest. It waved its wings weakly and fell down.
"Okay!" Zhang Yang patted Bian Yuanheng on the shoulder, and he did not see the wrong person.
The wild duck flew so fast just now that everyone present could not keep up with its flight, but Bian Yuanheng was quick-eyed and failed to hit a single shot. The second arrow immediately flew out again. This eye and reaction speed are indeed the talent of a sniper!
"It's all this combo crossbow that is easy to use. If I use my hunting bow, I'm afraid I won't be able to make up for the second arrow at such a fast speed." Bian Yuanheng said. This combo crossbow is really a good thing. With this weapon, he is like a tiger's wings. It's just a little lacking enough. The first arrow was originally expected to fly higher, but as soon as he hit the edge, he lost his strength. In his heart, he had already begun to look forward to the large combo crossbow.
"There are wild ducks again!" Tang Hetian ran over like a child.
Zhang Yang looked at Tang He's back as he was away, and he was a little embarrassed. Where did Tang He have the demeanor of a general? He has to train him well in the future.
