Chapter 49: Everyone was stunned
Li Quan nodded, and soon brought the telescope.
"Brother Li, use this to look at the sea. And you have to rotate it while you look..." Tang Wen said. Li Liao closed his eyes curiously, and Tang Wen taught him step by step.
"Amazing, really amazing, much clearer than what the Marshal uses, and it can see farther." Li Liao exclaimed, "Wei Guang, you should try it too."
"Brother-in-law, why does the scene become clearer and clearer when I rotate this mechanism? It's as if the island in the distance is coming towards me by itself. Even the birds on the island can be seen." Wei Guang was amazed after seeing it.
"Wei Guang, if you join the Tang family, I will match you with one." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"Uh...ah..." Wei Guang glanced at his brother-in-law and sighed with some disappointment.
"Master, dinner is ready." At this time, Zhan Junru shouted from a distance.
"Let's eat." Tang Wen said with a smile, and the group entered the cafeteria.
Suddenly, I was shocked again.
After the food was served, he nodded repeatedly while eating.
Although the Chu State also had delicious food, most people could not afford it.
However, this ordinary meal with MSG and chicken essence added made Li Liao and his gang almost swallow their tongues.
"This Master Tang is truly extremely powerful." Wei Guang said while eating.
"Look at how well the Tang family's servants eat. It's no worse than our original food." Chen Fei said.
"Look at that thing called a light above your head. It's so bright, even a night-shining pearl is not as bright as it. It's amazing."
"My lord, you are showing off just to lure us in and make us stay," said Li Liao.
"Sister...Brother-in-law, why don't we stay here for ten days first? It won't be too late to leave then." Wei Guang said.
"Aren't we being fooled in this way?" Li Liao snorted.
"If we've been fooled, then so be it. If it doesn't work, we can just leave. I believe with Captain Yang here, they won't make things difficult for us." Chen Fei said.
"Husband, I think this place is really nice. We might as well stay here for a few days to try it out." Zhang Qin said.
…
"Then stay for ten days. I want to see what tricks this lord is going to play on us." Li Liao said with a look of disapproval.
"Brother Li, since you agreed to stay for ten days, it would be a waste to rest. Why don't you do something for me?" After the meal, Li Liao agreed to Tang Wen, so Tang Wen said.
"My Lord is friends with Captain Yang. Just tell me if there's anything I can do for you." Li Liao nodded.
"Come with me." Tang Wen said, and then Li Liao called Wei Guang and others to ride horses straight to the training ground.
The special operations training ground is only a dozen miles away from Wolong Lake, separated by a mountain.
Tang Wen had already instructed people to open up a simple road, and they soon arrived on horseback after going around the hillside. More than 200 personal guards were training hard at the training ground.
Some were going through fire circles, some were jumping over the separation wall, some were going through the barbed wire, and some were shooting.
Others climbed ladders, jumped on swings, dived through mud puddles, scuba dived, rock climbed, climbed trees, and rappelled from high altitudes...
Li Liao and his gang were all stunned.
Tang Wen discovered that Li Liao's popularity was wavering and a little messy.
The shaking was more violent than before, indicating that his attitude had changed more significantly.
"This mechanism can also spit fire? Awesome." Wei Guang couldn't help himself first.
"Haha, give me this bow and let me try it." Li Liao suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to a Tang family guard who was aiming and shooting and practicing archery.
The man glanced at Tang Wen, but did not dare to hand the bow to Li Liao.
Tang Wen smiled and said, "Brother Li was once a captain in the army. He must be a great archer. I'll let you open your eyes! Tell them all to come over."
The next moment, more than a hundred people gathered around.
Li Liao picked up the bow and looked at it, and was suddenly stunned. He touched it again, knocked it, and praised, "What a good bow! Sir, this kind of good bow seems to be made of fine iron, even ordinary archers in the army are not qualified to be equipped with it.
Only the court's Black Cavalry, the Six Gates disciples, and the guards are qualified to possess it.
This bow is extremely difficult to cast, and the imperial foundry produces only a small number each year.
Most of them are used to equip elite troops such as the Black Cavalry, Guards, and Escorts.
I wonder where the lord got it from?"
"Where else can it come from? The court will never equip my personal guards with such fine iron bows." Tang Wen said.
"From the West?" Wei Guang asked.
"Well, this bow is not made entirely of fine iron. Brother Li, do you feel any other differences?" Tang Wen said.
"I was also issued one of the 'Mie Di Nuo' that the court distributed to the Black Cavalry. It is said that one of them cost three hundred taels of silver to cast.
However, although the bow was small, it felt extremely heavy, weighing more than ten pounds.
Ordinary soldiers can't use it at all, and I also find it very difficult to use.
The ones you use are only about five or six pounds, much lighter, so I don't know how powerful they are." Li Liao said.
“You’ll know after trying it, but this bow has another special feature.
The small cylinder above is the sight. Close one eye and put the other eye close to it.
A cross will appear on the small cylinder. Aim at the center of the cross. As long as your hands don't shake, you can usually hit the target. "Tang Wen said.
"Why bother looking!" Li Liao smiled proudly, picked up the short bow with one hand, raised his hand, and shot seven arrows in a row, each hitting the bull's eye.
Suddenly, Tang Wen's men were stunned.
"Good!" Li Si shouted loudly. Suddenly, applause rolled like spring thunder.
"Haha, Brother Li is indeed an archer." Tang Wen said with a smile.
"It's just so-so. I haven't practiced for almost half a year, so I'm a little rusty. If it were before, the back arrow would always hit the tail of the front arrow." Li Liao looked smug.
"Someone come! Move the target back fifty meters." Tang Wen suddenly shouted, and Li Si hurried over to move the target back.
"Brother Li, try again." Tang Wen said.
"The distance is too far. This short gun can only shoot about thirty meters at most. It will definitely not hit the target at sixty or seventy meters." Li Liao shook his head.
"Could it be possible that Sir can hit a target seventy meters away?" Wei Guang raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically.
"Tang Jun, come here!" Tang Wen said. Tang Jun clasped his fists, picked up the bow and loaded the arrows, put his eyes close to the sight, and whoosh!
Nushe rushed out, and the next moment, Wei Guang and his gang became dumbfounded.
"Hit it, hit it, right in the center of the bull's eye, not a single mistake." Li Sida shouted.
"Archer, Archer..."
Suddenly, all the Tang family guards cheered.
Looking at Li Liao and his gang again, their expressions looked somewhat ugly.
Li Liao had also shot the "shooting target from a hundred paces away", but he used a long arrow and a large bow, and the short bow's range was not enough.
"Zhan Zhao, come here!" Tang Wen shouted again. Zhan Zhao clasped his fists and went into battle. He shot three arrows in succession, all hitting the bull's eye. Immediately, he was greeted with another round of cheers.
"No!" Li Liao took the short knife and started to fiddle with it again.
Then he put one eye close to the sight, stared for a while, pulled the trigger, and the arrow shot out.
"Hit it!" Wei Guang shouted loudly, and immediately, all of Li Liao's men started shouting.
"Amazing, so amazing. I never thought this cylinder could have such a great function." Li Liao exclaimed.
Of course you haven't seen it. This is a scaled-down version of a sniper rifle scope. Tang Wen sneered in his heart.
"It's still not right! Even if it can aim, how can the range of this short gun be so far? The Earth-Destroying Guns equipped by the Black Cavalry cannot hit such a distant target." Li Liao said again.
"Haha, this arrow is made of a special alloy. Also, you see, there are grooves in this arrow, so it rotates when it flies. So, it can fly faster and farther." Tang Wen said.
"Westerners are so smart." Li Liao sighed, stroking his beard.
"Isn't this kid cheap?" Chen Fei asked.
"Is there any need to ask? A sword that can destroy the Earth costs three hundred taels, and this one should cost five hundred taels." Wei Guang said self-righteously.
"Your Majesty is truly wealthy. Each of your personal guards has more than 100,000 taels of silver." Li Liao exclaimed.
"Their swords and sabers are not cheap either. They are made of fine steel. Each sword probably costs two or three hundred taels," said Wei Guang.
"What is this?" Tang Jun suddenly interrupted.
"Is there anything better?" Wei Guang looked at Tang Jun unconvinced.
"Try to hit my chest with your knife." Tang Jun said.
"If I chop you, your blood will splatter five steps away." Wei Guang raised his eyebrows and said.
"Don't worry, just hit me. If you kill me, you will consider it as bad luck. My lord won't make things difficult for you." Tang Jun said.
"Sir, is this true?" Wei Guang was angry and drew out his sword.
"Of course! But you can't use your full strength. Just use 50% of your strength." Tang Wen said.
"Don't even mention 50% of my strength, I can cut him in half with 30%!" Wei Guang sneered and raised his knife.
"Come on, use five percent of your strength instead of three percent." Tang Jun puffed out his chest and stood in a horse stance.
