Chapter 580 Compound Bow
"good."
"Anguo Gong's divine shot."
"An Guogong's archery skills are indeed well-deserved. There are two hundred steps there, right?"
"."
Listening to the cheers of the teenagers, Chen Mo, who was used to being followed, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Being too bored, Chen Mo simply stayed at the martial arts training ground to guide these Xiao family teenagers in their archery skills.
For the children of big families, riding and shooting is also a part of their education since childhood.
The so-called six arts of a gentleman are etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and numeracy.
Archery and imperial control refer to the skills of archery and driving chariots and horses.
Archery skills include keeping body posture unchanged, aiming point unchanged, bow pushing method and focus point unchanged, etc.
Although Chen Mo did not have the guidance of a master, he found his own path through his own "efforts."
Watching the teenagers practicing archery according to their own methods, Chen Mo suddenly thought of something.
For a moment, he even wanted to slap himself twice.
He had spent a lot of money to make the divine arm crossbow. Not only did he spend a lot of money, but the annual output was not large. After spending so much effort, he actually forgot about the compound bow.
The compound bow was a legal lethal weapon that ordinary people could possess in Chen Mo's previous life in modern society. Its power was even more powerful than ordinary pistols.
There are even videos online of people holding compound bows and shooting through explosion shields.
This power doesn't need to be strong like a crossbow?
And most importantly, compound bows are easy to imitate.
As a second-generation rich man in his previous life, he also bought and played with compound bows. He understood its structure and it was not difficult as long as he drew the drawings himself and handed them over to the craftsmen to build them.
For a moment, Chen Mo felt a little excited.
You must know that the materials used to make composite bows are not expensive, but are extremely cheap. For example, in East Asia in the previous life, they were made of slender pieces composed of mixed wood or bones.
Chen Mo was no longer in the mood to practice archery with these teenagers here, so he took action immediately.
Chen Mo was originally going to return to another courtyard, but he met Xiao Ya on the way. Because he couldn't wait to draw the compound bow in his mind, he said directly to Xiao Ya: "Xiao Ya, I remember you live next to here, right? "
Xiao Ya was stunned and nodded.
"Do you have pen and paper in your room?" Chen Mo asked.
Xiao Ya nodded again.
"Then take me there quickly." Chen Mo said quickly.
"ah?"
Xiao Ya's face turned red, and she took Chen Mo to her boudoir without refusing.
After bringing Chen Mo to her boudoir, Xiao Ya's face turned even redder. Besides her father, Chen Mo was the first man to enter her room.
Xiao Ya's boudoir was neat, simple, and full of girlish atmosphere. Chen Mo didn't bother to look around. After scanning around, he immediately went to the desk in the back room and rummaged for paper and pen.
Just when Chen Mo was about to grind the ink, Xiao Ya took the initiative and said, "Brother Mo, let me grind the ink for you."
Chen Mo nodded and spread out a large white paper on the desk.
Xiao Ya asked curiously: "Brother Mo, can you still draw?"
"It's not painting. You'll know later. Is the ink polished yet?"
"Well, that's it."
Chen Mo held a small brush and slowly sketched the appearance of the compound bow on the paper based on the memory in his mind.
The most important component of a compound bow, the pulley, is indispensable.
"Is this a bow?" Looking at the pattern drawn by Chen Mo, Xiao Ya's clear eyes flashed slightly, and then she said curiously: "Brother Mo, why does this bow have two wheels?"
She found the bow on the paper very strange.
Chen Mo did not respond to him for the time being, but looked at the pattern on the paper, constantly recalling the details of the compound bow in his mind to see which parts he had forgotten or not drawn.
After a while of revision and revision, one scrap after another was discarded.
Finally, half an hour later, Chen Mo finally got the drawings he was satisfied with.
"Xiaoya, okay, thank you."
After Chen Mo admired it for a while, he said to Xiao Ya.
Seeing no response, Chen Mo turned his head and found that Xiao Ya had moved a chair to sit next to him at some point, and then fell asleep on the table.
Her sleeping face was like a delicate flower, blooming quietly. The wind outside the window blew gently, and the girl's hair was like delicate silk, fluttering slightly.
Chen Mo couldn't help but reached out and touched Xiao Ya's head.
Xiao Ya was not deeply sleepy, she just squinted her eyes out of fatigue. When Chen Mo touched her, the girl woke up immediately. Under her beautiful eyebrows, a pair of big eyes looked at Chen Mo blankly.
After a moment, the girl quickly stood up, her black grape-like eyes full of glistening light, her delicate cheeks as red as clouds: "Brother Mo, are you okay?"
"Well, thank you for the pen and paper."
"Brother Mo is so polite. I'm very happy to be able to help you." The girl stared at the young man and met his gaze.
Chen Mo pulled her in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness, held Xiao Ya's little face, and kissed her.
Xiao Ya felt her lips soften slightly, warm and soft. It was just a light touch, but there was a strange feeling that penetrated her heart.
"Brother Mo kissed me again."
Xiao Ya's face was hot. This was not the first time that the girl had been kissed. She felt that this time it was more passionate than the last time. She didn't know where to put her helpless hands. She seemed to be suffocated, trembling, and her whole body was shaking. It started to get hot, and my head felt dizzy. I couldn't help but cross my legs, and the roots of my legs rubbed slightly.
Suddenly, she felt her skirt being lifted up, and a pair of warm hands covering her hips.
Xiao Ya's little head buzzed as if it was about to explode. She pushed Chen Mo twice weakly. Chen Mo's lips parted to take a breath. Xiao Ya took the opportunity to say, "Brother Mo, don't."
Chen Mo stroked the millstone and looked into Xiao Ya's eyes: "Does Xiao Ya not like Brother Mo?"
"Ah, no." Fearing that Chen Mo would misunderstand her, Xiao Ya hurriedly explained, then lowered her head and whispered, her little face flushed, and she stammered, "Brother Mo, it's still daytime, and I... I haven't entered the house yet."
"Don't be afraid, I will..." Chen Mo grabbed Xiao Ya's wrist, and the two looked at each other.
She was a little shy, afraid, and a little expectant.
Her eyes were evasive, and her trembling lips showed that she was breathing rapidly at this time. Chen Mo slowly approached and kissed her again.
...
Poliu Country
An island 200 miles long and as narrow as a gourd is located on the vast sea. The white waves are surging. On the blue and boundless sea, hundreds of ships with high masts are densely docked on the shore.
On the shore, the people of Boliu hold baskets made of vines on their heads, waiting excitedly for the people on the boat to come down and exchange goods with each other.
The baskets are filled with colorful and crystal clear gems. For the people of Boliu, these are just ordinary stones, and there are many on the island.
If these stones can be exchanged for cloth, celadon plates and bowls, and tea on the ship, it is a very worthwhile deal.
There are also soldiers sent by Boliu to maintain order on the shore.
But none of these soldiers wear armor, or even shoes, just barefoot, and the weapon in their hands is just a sharp blade tied to a wooden stick.
They watched the approach of the ship, not only without a trace of vigilance, but also very happy.
Because every time the fleet arrived, the people on the ship would give them generous gifts.
They thought this time was no exception, and they waved enthusiastically to Zhang Feng on the ship.
They knew Zhang Feng.
However, after the fleet stopped at the shore, the soldiers were responded to by arrows carrying death.
In an instant, all the soldiers of the Boliu Kingdom on the shore were shot and killed by the archers on the ship, and even many civilians were affected.
For a time, the shore was in chaos, and the people threw baskets and fled for their lives.
"Land on the island."
Zhang Feng ordered.
The decks were lowered one by one, and the Nangong soldiers on the warships rushed down one by one. They were well-trained, holding bows and arrows, spears, round shields, and some were wearing iron armor.
Soon, more than 8,000 soldiers gathered on the island.
"Our mission this time is to educate them, so we will go straight to the capital of the Boliu Kingdom, capture their king alive, and try to fight as quickly as possible, killing fewer or no civilians." Zhang Feng said.
"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.
Zhang Feng stood on the shore, looking at the seagulls flying over the sky from time to time. The sea breeze was a bit salty and hit his face. Then his eyes turned cold, and he looked at everyone and said, "Attack."
The country of Boliu was discovered by Zhongzhou during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty. In the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, although there were many voyages, this tiny island had never been discovered.
Because it is too far away from Zhongzhou, it is necessary to pass through several dangerous seas to reach Zhongzhou. In the dynasties before the Song Dynasty, the navigation technology was not so advanced.
Compared with Zhongzhou, the military level of Boliu is still in an uncivilized stage. If Chen Mo said it, it is far inferior to the Warring States Period of the Face Basin Chicken, and it is really at the level of village fights.
In fact, Boliu only started to have a "history" of cultivation after contacting the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, there are very few warriors on the island.
Facing the invasion led by Zhang Feng, a top-grade warrior, the Boliu Kingdom had no power to resist. In less than half a month, the Nangong Army defeated them outside the capital.
At this rate, if nothing unexpected happens.
In less than a month, the Boliu Kingdom will be destroyed by Zhang Feng.
…
The first year of Yong'an, July 20th.
Jiangnan, Yangzhou, the ancestral home of the Xiao family.
On the bed in the master bedroom of the villa, Yue Ruyan sat in Chen Mo's arms, and Chen Mo stroked her beautiful legs in stockings.
These stockings belonged to Xiao Yunxi, and Chen Mo put them on Yue Ruyan.
Yue Ruyan's legs were very long, and they were put together in black stockings. They were slender but well-proportioned, and her calves were hard. This was the muscle that a female general should have. Her toes were wrapped in stockings, giving her a hazy beauty.
Chen Mo couldn't help but pinch her twice.
"Are you done?" Yue Ruyan breathed softly.
Chen Mo ignored Yue Ruyan's words and stroked every inch of his beautiful legs in stockings.
Although Yue Ruyan said this, her body enjoyed Chen Mo's touch and her soul felt even happier.
Chen Mo kissed her neck, while stroking her beautiful legs in stockings, exploring the beautiful mountains and rivers, and then whispered in her ear: "I have been wandering around Qinhuai these days, which has delayed my cultivation. Recently, I have touched the opportunity for a breakthrough. Ruyan, you have to help me."
Yue Ruyan, whose body was about to become a pile of mud, suddenly became energetic and blurted out subconsciously: "What, you are going to break through again?"
How could Yue Ruyan not be surprised? How old is he? He is a little over 23 years old, and he is already a warrior in the supernatural realm.
With this cultivation speed, it is unprecedented and there will be no one to come after him.
If he breaks through again, he will be in the second-grade supernatural realm.
Supernatural realm at the age of 23.
God, is this still the world she lives in?
"I have been in the magical realm for more than two years, and now I have an opportunity to break through. Is it any wonder?"
Chen Mo hugged Yue Ruyan and turned around so that she was facing him, lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.
Yue Ruyan also hugged Chen Mo's neck, this action had become her instinct, and she said angrily: "Do you know what you are talking about?
Some people stay at the middle level of martial arts for their whole life and never reach the upper level. If it weren't for the special nature of the Yue family's bloodline and the old lady teaching me the martial arts, I don't know when I would be able to step into the upper level.
Take the Xiao family head and the Wu family head whom I met in Huaizhou. They have stayed at the third level for at least ten years, and how long have you been? According to you, two years is too much? "
"It's been a while." Chen Mo took off Yue Ruyan's dress, revealing his shoulders, collarbones, and the bellyband under the collarbones.
"So obedient." Seeing that she no longer wrapped her breasts, Chen Mo kissed her collarbone with satisfaction.
Yue Ruyan blushed and said nothing.
"By the way, do you have any martial arts that can resist poison or reduce poison?" Chen Mo thought of something and said.
If you can cultivate a body that is invulnerable to all poisons, you won't have to worry about not being able to eat when a stranger invites you to a banquet.
Yue Ruyan shook her head and said: "I don't, but I heard that there is a kind of poison skill. To practice it, you need to fight poison with poison, eat all kinds of poisons, and endure the bites of thousands of poisons. After you master it, you can be immune to all poisons." , but if you practice this kind of poisonous skill, your life span will not be long.”
Chen Mo put his hands around Yue Ruyan's back, untied the bellyband, and immediately said: "Forget it."
"By the way, I heard my mother say that there is a poisonous insect in Baiyue called the gluttonous insect. This insect is also the king of poisonous insects. As long as you hold it, you can not only be immune to all poisons, but also avoid poisonous insects. Blood can also extend your life and improve your appearance." Yue Ruyan suddenly thought of something and said.
"Gluttony Gu?"
Chen Mo paused: "Is there still this thing? Where is Baiyue? Is it the territory of the Song Dynasty?"
Yue Ruyan shook her head: "Baiyue is a small country, and it is a land of poisonous swamps. For thousands of years, no one has looked down upon this place. It has relations with the Shu government."
Before he could even say the word boundary, Chen Mo plunged into his broad mind.
Chen Mo said vaguely: "If you have a chance in the future, you can go to Baiyue. Is this Taotie Gu very rare?"
"It is naturally rare, and each one needs to be carefully cultivated. Moreover, young Taotie Gu is very picky about the environment and is extremely difficult to survive."
