Chapter 442: Hidden Arrow

He focused his attention on the arrow in his hand.

To be honest, the head was bigger than he thought.

The main body is cylindrical, the length is about seventeen centimeters visually, and if it is thick, it is about the thickness of an adult's finger.

The shell material is bronze.

So there is still a little amount in hand.

In order to facilitate fixing, a piece of soft leather similar to arm guards is sewn on each side of the main body.

"Come on, let's find a place to test the power."

Hearing this, He Liang hurriedly took the animal skin coat hanging on the side and put it on Luo Ji.

Now the weather is getting colder.

It has also become one of the important responsibilities of the guards to pay attention to the physical condition of their emperor, so as to prevent him from getting sick from the cold.

The group did not go far.

Just found a piece of open space outside, and then erected a wooden stake.

"Zhao Lei, how should I use this arrow?"

In the step of tying it to his forearm, Luo Ji was of course self-taught.

But how the Hidden Arrow was shot, he really didn't know.

When watching movies and TV shows.

The assassins in there often raised their hands casually, and the hidden arrows hidden in the sleeves were shot out with a 'boom'.

Luo Ji had never understood the rationale for this mysterious operation.

Some people say that there is a mechanism on the sleeve arrow, as long as the forearm exerts force, it will be triggered.

But Luo Ji thought this was nonsense.

Because in that case, wouldn't it be easy to accidentally hurt and miss?

And Zhao Lei, who heard Luo Ji's question, naturally hurriedly bowed his hands.

"Please forgive Wei Chen's offense."

"come on."

After getting Luo Ji's permission, Zhao Lei trotted all the way to get up.

Then he picked up a slender arrow from the wooden plate on which the sleeve arrow was placed, and carefully loaded it for Luo Ji.

At this time, Luo Ji could see very clearly, at the same time as the arrows were loaded.

Only a 'click' sound was heard, and a bronze pick actually popped out from the side of the body of the Hidden Arrow.

This time, he decisively understood.

When you want to launch an attack, just pull the bronze pick, and the arrow inside will shoot out.

"How much is this range?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the limit range is about 20 meters, but the power cannot be guaranteed, and there will be a certain deviation in the accurate head. Within fifteen meters, it should be the most secure, and within ten meters, the power should be the strongest." Zhao Lei replied respectfully.

Luo Ji nodded, glanced at the distance between himself and the stake, and then took a few steps back.

After standing still, Luo Ji was not in a hurry, he took aim without hurry or slow.

Only a small screeching sound was heard.

In the blink of an eye, the slender arrow was already nailed to the stake in the distance.

After that, Luo Ji didn't stop, and while walking forward, he tried to reload the arrows to Xiujian.

This loading operation is actually very simple. After watching Zhao Lei do it once, he figured it out.

Luo Ji fired a total of three arrows, from far to near, 20 meters, 15 meters, and 10 meters.

These distances are all visual, so I can't say how accurate it is.

But this is more in line with the actual situation.

After all, in actual combat, the enemy will not give you time to measure the distance, it all depends on visual inspection.

After walking in, Luo Ji could clearly identify the three arrows nailed to the stake.

The arrow shot from a position of 20 meters is indeed offset, and its power is obviously insufficient. Basically, only a little part of the arrow is submerged in the stake, and it is easily pulled out when it is pulled out. .

As for the arrow shot from the fifteen-meter position, there was no problem with the target, and at the same time, most of the arrows were submerged in the stake, which decisively showed its power.

As for the ten-meter position after that, there is no doubt that the power is stronger than the previous one, and a whole arrow is completely submerged in the wooden stake.

According to this power, within ten meters, even against an enemy wearing leather armor, this Hidden Arrow can cause a fatal attack!

This time, not only Luo Ji, but also He Liang and the others from the escort team looked at Xiu Jian with a twinkle in their eyes.

As a self-defense weapon, this Hidden Arrow is undoubtedly qualified.

In unexpected circumstances, it can definitely easily take the enemy's life.

Luo Ji can be said to be very satisfied with this.

At the same time, he also further felt the power of ye Xuan, an armament master.

After all, he basically only came up with such a concept as the Hidden Arrow weapon.

He never thought that with just a little inspiration, Michelle Ye would make this self-defense weapon.

But the point is...

"Zhao Lei, can this sleeve arrow be mass-produced? What about the production efficiency?"

That's right, that's what Luo Ji cares about.

For the supreme ruler of a civilization.

If the Hidden Arrow cannot be mass-produced, then no matter how powerful this thing is, its value is limited.

For this question, Zhao Lei is undoubtedly mentally prepared, and now it is quite straightforward to say...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the structure of the internal parts of this sleeve arrow is extremely fine, and the efficiency of mass production is probably slower than that of a hand crossbow."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can be mass-produced!"

Slow down a little bit, as long as it's not so difficult that only a top armament master like Michelle Ye can make it.

Luo Ji, who was a little relieved in his heart, was much more happy even in his mood.

It was quite refreshing to reward Zhao Lei and Michelle Ye with something, and on the grounds of making up for their faults, she easily lifted the confinement penalty on Ye Xuan.

Luo Ji hummed a little tune all the way and walked towards the practice area of ​​the Mirror Opera Troupe.

Now that the show is out, let's drop by to see how the rehearsal of the opera went.

At the same time, at the other end, on the side of White River City...

The days of light snow covered the entire northern mountain forest with a snow-white color, and invisibly brought pressure to the barbarians of the northern tribes.

"Now, among the members of the various tribes, there have been many voices saying that they should not migrate south, and it can't go on like this." Harold, who was sitting by the fire, said calmly.

Before they moved all the way to the south, the food had already been consumed in the same way.

The food crisis, coupled with the previous defeat.

The combination of the two clearly caused their internal problems.

When Hill heard this, he sneered disdainfully.

"Shouldn't they move south? If they stayed there, at this time, their corpses would have been merged with the wind and snow!"

Hearing this, Harold was silent, acquiescing to Hill's statement.

"Get ready. Before the weather is completely cold, we will launch a third attack. If we can't capture the stone wall this time, then we probably need to change our original plan."
