Chapter 310: Tri-daggers and Arm Crossbows

She felt that even though she did not say it explicitly, her hint was obvious. Chu Jin should know what she meant.

“Thank you, Teacher!” Chu Jin thanked her again. He was extremely excited.

Of course, he knew what Qin Xiaoyao meant.

He also knew that although this person had not agreed to serve the Second Prince, her heart was already inclined towards the Second Prince.

This was the best thing.

“You’re welcome,” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.

Then, she looked at the arm crossbow.

After that, she took out a crossbow bolt to test the arm crossbow.

The arm crossbow that she had designed could fire ten crossbow bolts in a row.

The arm crossbow was light in design, and together with the ten crossbow bolts, the combined weight was controlled to be within five pounds.

With this weight, it would have a limited impact on the soldiers’ performance if attached to the arms of well-trained soldiers.

If the soldier trained for a long period, he could even achieve a state where he was completely unaffected by this extra weight.

Compared to the tri-daggers, which was a close-range weapon, the arm crossbow could be used in both close-range and long-range combat.

In this era of cold weapons, the combination of this treasure and the tri-dagger was simply a killer combo!

Under Chu Jin’s curious gaze, Qin Xiaoyao quickly loaded up an arm crossbow.

She then raised her arm crossbow and shot at an archery target not far away.

A crossbow bolt immediately flew out and hit the center of the target.

Before Chu Jin could even cheer, the second bolt flew out.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Following that, a total of ten bolts were shot out consecutively.

The short crossbow bolts all hit the bullseye of the target in a densely packed cluster.

Chu Jin was dumbfounded.

She only needed to pull the trigger, and she could shoot an arrow without drawing on a bowstring to store energy?

Furthermore, she was able to fire ten shots in a row?

Not only that, but the arrows that were shot out seemed to be quite lethal in terms of damage dealt.

“Teacher…” Chu Jin’s voice was filled with excitement.

Qin Xiaoyao put down her arm crossbow and turned to smile at Chu Jin.

“Colonel Chu, do you want to try?” she asked.

Chu Jin was astounded and quickly nodded.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao guide Chu Jin on how to load the arm crossbow.

After the preparations were complete, she stepped back to let him do a test shoot.

Chu Jin followed Qin Xiaoyao’s instructions and gently pulled the trigger…

Then, a scene that startled him happened.

The bolt that was loaded into the crossbow swiftly flew out of the rail groove and into the target on the opposite side.

Although he didn’t hit the bullseye directly like Qin Xiaoyao, he could see that the crossbow bolt that was shot out dealt quite a powerful blow.

Without waiting for Qin Xiaoyao’s instructions, Chu Jin adjusted his posture and pulled the trigger again.

Then, the second crossbow bolt also shot out…

Then, the third, the fourth… There were ten bolts in total.

After shooting all the crossbow bolts in the arm crossbow, Chu Jin was not in a hurry to talk to Qin Xiaoyao. Instead, he ran to the target to check out the result.

When he realized that every crossbow bolt he shot was embedded deeply enough, Chu Jin was completely convinced.

This arm crossbow was too amazing!

If such a weapon could be used in the army, it would definitely greatly improve the combat ability of the soldiers.

“Teacher! This… this arm crossbow… You… you really are a God!” Chu Jin held the arm crossbow and walked back to Qin Xiaoyao before bowing deeply to her.

Qin Xiaoyao simply smiled.

“What God? I’m not the one who invented this thing,” she said.

Chu Jin was astonished.

“Oh. I just happened to see it in a book.” Qin Xiaoyao gave a convenient excuse at the last minute.

Of course, she had never read such a book, but in the early days of the apocalypse, the weapons she used were arm crossbows and tri-daggers.

At that time, these two weapons were as close to her as her left and right arms, so it would be strange if she didn’t know their construction.

Chu Jin did not doubt her and quickly asked, “Oh? What kind of book is it? Is it still around? Are there any other weapons recorded on it?”

“It’s gone. At that time, 1 just casually flipped through it a few times and noted down the tri-dagger and the arm crossbow. I don’t have any impression of anything else,” Qin Xiaoyao replied indifferently.

Chu Jin was visibly disappointed instantly.

“That’s a pity,” he said regretfully.

Qin Xiaoyao laughed again.

“There’s nothing to feel pity about. If these two weapons are used well, they can perform many tasks.”

Chu Jin thought for a while and nodded.

“This arm crossbow is meant for the Special Forces Team members.

“Every member will get one and it will be attached to his arm and loaded with ten crossbow bolts. At critical moments, it can also save lives.” Of course, it could also kill people.

With the arm crossbows, the combat ability of the Special Forces Team members would be even stronger. At that juncture, each member would truly be able to fight against more than twenty people.

Furthermore, once he familiarized himself with the use of the Liao-style saber, the tri-dagger, and the arm crossbow, and was able to use these three weapons interchangeably with flexibility, his individual combat capability would be even greater.

Chu Jin nodded.

“Although this arm crossbow is light, its destructive power is not small. In my opinion, ordinary soldiers should be able to use it,” he continued.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Chu Jin.

“They can use them, but there’s no need for them to do that.”

When she saw Chu Jin looking at her, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “Firstly, the production of the arm crossbow is cumbersome. The workshop’s production speed is too slow and can’t meet the demand if it’s too excessive.

“Secondly, the shooting range of this thing is far inferior to that of a regular bow and arrow. In a large-scale battle, the bow and arrow are more suitable.” Qin Xiaoyao added when she saw Chu Jin frowning, “However, you can also choose some candidates to form a crossbow team. It’s specialized in dealing with large groups of enemies that suddenly approach.

“After killing a wave of the enemy, arrange for the crossbow unit to retreat and send another team to fight with the enemy in close combat.”

Chu Jin thought for a while and nodded.

He felt that Qin Xiaoyao’s suggestion was very feasible.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Chu Jin again with a smile.

“However, the prerequisite is that the arm crossbows and bolts produced by the workshop must first satisfy the needs of our Special Forces Team.”

Chu Jin laughed at this point.

“Naturally.”

At the same time, he muttered in his heart, “Seems like this arm crossbow can also be used by His Highness’ secret bodyguards and assassins.”

At noon, the workshop delivered some more arm crossbows and crossbow bolts.

Qin Xiaoyao checked the weapons and distributed them to the members of the Special Forces Team after she found that there was sufficient quantity.

Then, she began to teach everyone how to use the arm crossbow, after which she allowed them to practice.

After the team members received the arm crossbows and tested them, they were all extremely happy. They couldn’t wait to go on a mission at once and kill the Liao soldiers again.

Qin Xiaoyao only said that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future, so everyone should get used to fighting with arm crossbows quickly.

Although the arm crossbow, including the ten crossbow bolts, weighed less than five pounds, the user would still need time to get used to the five pounds of extra weight on his arm.

The Special Forces Team members all responded eagerly. After putting on the arm crossbows, they never took them off again.

At the same time, many Liao soldiers had gathered outside of Yellow Flower Town once more. They were present at both the North Town and South Town.

And their numbers were even greater than before. There were more than four thousand troops in North Town alone.

There were fewer people in South Town, but the estimated number was no less than 2000.

On the North Gate Tower, Qin Xiaoyao and Chu Jin looked at the large number of Liao soldiers stationed outside the town and felt very troubled.

“The Liao army has mobilized most of the nearby troops to encircle and annihilate us,” Qin Xiaoyao said as she narrowed her eyes.

They were smart. They didn’t send only a few hundred people like yesterday.

Otherwise, she would definitely devour them without any hesitation..
