Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 154 Crossbows and Stirrups

The next morning, Zhoujia Village.

After Jiang Chen got up, he came to the training ground.

At this time, there were already a group of old soldiers and young men waiting for him!

Including the old soldiers that Zhu Yong brought last time, now... Zhoujia Village already has eighty-nine old soldiers and fifty young and strong men!

This number is not small anymore.

If they encounter the Mopanshan bandits, then... the Mopanshan bandits will only die!

"I've met the village chief!"

After Zhu Yong saw Jiang Chen, he shouted loudly!

"Meet the village chief!"

"Meet the village chief!!!"

Following Zhu Yong's lead, all the old soldiers and young men started shouting!

"Hahaha, good, thank you for your hard work, brothers!"

When Jiang Chen saw this scene, a sense of heroism rose in his heart.

He felt as if he was at a military parade!

It’s just that he…he has too few soldiers!

Just after Jiang Chen appeared, Xu Yunchang in the room next to him also looked over.

He was very curious about what Jiang Chen was going to do by gathering so many veterans.

At this time, Jiang Chen asked Zhou Si to bring a horse.

Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, Jiang Chen jumped on his horse and rushed to the training ground!

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Chen loosened the reins with both hands, then took out the crossbow and started shooting!

"Shhhhhh!"

“Swish, swish, swish, swish!”

The sound of breaking through the air continued to be heard, and countless sharp arrows were quickly shot out from Jiang Chen's crossbow!

Although those crossbow arrows didn't hit many targets.

But at this moment, everyone on Zhou Si, even Xu Yunchang, were all stunned!

"This...how is this possible!?"

"When did the village chief's riding skills become so good?"

"That's impossible! Even if the village chief is a good rider, how could he load an arrow so quickly with the crossbow in his hand?"

"This……"

……

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief.

Jiang Chen's move shocked them greatly!

At this time, Jiang Chen had already arrived in front of everyone on horseback.

"Brothers, how is my riding and archery skill?"

Jiang Chen looked at Zhou Si and the others with a smile on his face.

"Village Chief, you...you are so awesome!"

"Yes, this... this riding and archery technique is rare in the army!"

"Village Chief, how did you manage to shoot the arrow so quickly!?"

The old soldiers asked blankly.

Because there were no stirrups in that era, riding a horse with both hands off the reins was something only elite riders with a certain level of riding skills could do.

What’s more, Jiang Chen can shoot arrows so fast!

Although the accuracy was a bit off, that speed was something that even a sharpshooter might not be able to achieve!

"Hahaha!"

"What I did is nothing, I just took a shortcut, everyone... can do it!"

Jiang Chen said with a big laugh.

"We...we can do this too!?"

"impossible!"

"How can this be!?"

When the old soldiers heard Jiang Chen’s words, they were all stunned!

They... they all had injuries. Although they had prosthetic limbs made by Jiang Chen and could walk freely, riding and shooting...

They can't even think about it!

"Haha, don't worry, brothers, look at this!"

Jiang Chen pulled the warhorse to his side and showed off the saddle.

"This...what is this?"

"It looks weird, doesn't it?"

"What is the use of this thing?"

Although the old soldiers did not recognize the saddle, they had a feeling that this thing must be the key to improving Jiang Chen's riding and archery skills!

……

"Fourth brother, try riding a horse!"

Jiang Chen called Zhou Si over and asked him to get on the horse.

"it is good!"

Don't hesitate on Thursday and get started right away.

Under Jiang Chen's guidance, Zhou Si put his feet in the stirrups.

"this……!?"

When Thursday felt the power brought by the stirrups, he was stunned for a moment!

After he stepped on the stirrup, the force that was originally clamping the horse under his crotch was instantly reduced. He could control the horse without holding the reins and was not afraid of falling off!

At this time, Jiang Chen took out the crossbow!

After teaching Thursday to use it, Jiang Chen asked Thursday to try out his new horseback archery skills!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Si rushed out on his horse!

"Shhhhhh!"

“Swish, swish, swish, swish!”

Another burst of intensive sounds of breaking through the air was heard, and countless sharp arrows were shot out from Zhou Si's hands and hit the target steadily!

Zhou Si's accuracy is totally not on the same level as Jiang Chen's!

When the old soldiers saw the arrows hitting the bull's eye, they were all stunned!

"This……"

"How did Thursday become stronger?!"

"He definitely wasn't this strong before!"

"Nonsense! Not to mention Thursday, even the prairie's eagle archer can't do it!"

"This... could it be that the crossbow arrow is different!?"

The old soldiers kept talking.

They have noticed something is wrong.

After Jiang Chen heard what the old soldiers said, he introduced them: "Brothers, this is the credit of the stirrups and the crossbows!"

"With stirrups, you can exert the same force on horseback as on the ground, and your riding skills will improve several times!"

"As for this crossbow, it only needs to be loaded once, and it can release twenty arrows continuously!"

"This archery skill... has naturally also improved!"

"hiss!"

As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, everyone took a deep breath!

……

These stirrups and crossbows are simply magical!

If the soldiers of Dajing were all equipped with such weapons, then... then the soldiers of Dajing would definitely not be afraid of the grassland cavalry anymore!

Just imagine, the grassland cavalry had just shot an arrow, and they were just about to draw their bows and shoot again, but the Dajing cavalry had already shot five arrows, or even six arrows!

This... this is simply horrible!

"Brothers, these will be your standard weapons from now on, but... remember, you must not leak these things out, understand?" Jiang Chen said in a deep voice to everyone.

"Yes!"

When everyone heard Jiang Chen's words, they spoke at the same time!

Such a powerful weapon is enough to change the world. If outsiders knew about it, what would happen? ?

In fact, when Jiang Chen met Marquis Jian'an and General Luo before, he also thought about offering these things, perhaps in exchange for a title.

But in the end, Jiang Chen gave up.

After all, if the grassland people heard about this, he would be dead!

Just when everyone was rejoicing, Xu Yunchang slowly walked over.

He looked at the crossbow, then looked at Jiang Chen with deep eyes!

"Jiang Chen, do you know...how big an impact these things have?"

"you……"

"Don't worry, big brother. I won't leak these things easily."

"By the way, big brother, do you want to try out a repeating crossbow?" Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.

He took out the crossbow and stirrups today, not only to enhance the strength of the old soldiers, but also to attract Xu Yunchang's attention.

Although Xu Yunchang stayed in Zhoujia Village now, he did not follow him sincerely after all.

He has to show some strength!

"This...thank you very much!"

Xu Yunchang finally couldn't resist the temptation and took the crossbow from Jiang Chen.

When Jiang Chen saw Xu Yunchang taking the crossbow, a smile appeared on his face.

This Xu Yunchang will be his sooner or later!
