Chapter 37 Eight Bulls
  "Master, something is wrong. This slave feels in danger!" Xia Shouzhong pulled the car, slowed down, and reported to Emperor Jingwen in the car.

"Ask Jia Qiang to guard the car and give him my Sky-shattering Bow!" Emperor Jingwen trusted Xia Shouzhong's judgment and ordered in a deep voice.

Xia Shouzhong's danger sensing was very accurate and he discovered danger in advance many times.

Xia Shouzhong stopped the carriage, entered the carriage carefully, took out a treasure bow and two pots of arrows.

"Jia Qiang, if I lend you this treasure bow, you may encounter enemies ahead!" He waved to Jia Qiang and said.

Jia Qiang took the bow and felt it was very heavy. This weight was compared to an ordinary bow.

The 'Zhentian Bow' is a metal bow, and only metal bows can withstand huge forces without being damaged.

He looked at the 'Zhentian Bow' and couldn't help but feel excited.

I have heard of Bao Gong a long time ago, and this 'Zhentian Bow' is exactly Bao Gong.

He always thought that the technology of this world was far inferior to that of his previous life, but from this 'Zhentian Bow' he saw the extraordinary features of this world.

This kind of 'Zhentian Bow' made of metal may not have been able to be made even in the previous life.

The two pots of arrows all have metal arrow bodies, and the ten arrows in one pot are tightly bound by the buckles of the arrow pot. This prevents the ten arrows from touching during action, and without contact, the tail feathers will not be deformed.

He holds the 'Shocking Bow' and is confident of shooting enemies within five hundred steps. This is the difference between a treasure bow and an ordinary bow.

Although his bow and arrow skills are average, the metal arrows shot by this treasure bow can cause great damage without hitting a vital point.

Jia Qiang only had a rough familiarity with the 'Zhentian Bow' before placing a metal arrow on the bowstring.

He knew very well that the reason why Emperor Jingwen handed over the "Zhentian Bow" to him was because he discovered possible dangers.

He looked forward and found nothing in his sight.

But he didn't dare to take it lightly at all. He knew that he had very little experience in combat and had no ability to detect enemies who were good at hiding in advance.

"Buzz!"

A dull voice came, and he saw a thick arrow flying towards the carriage behind him.

This was just the first thick arrow, and almost immediately after, three more thick arrows flew in, all of which aimed at the carriage.

Jia Qiang had no time to fight back. Just by relying on the power of the thick arrow, he knew that if he didn't intercept it, Emperor Jingwen would be in danger.

The first thick arrow came so fast that he didn't even have time to switch to a big gun before the thick arrow came close.

He figured out a way to deal with it in a moment, and kicked out the tail of the thick arrow that hit him.

The original attack path of the thick arrow was deflected, and he also felt the reaction force from the thick arrow.

He conducted the reaction force within his body and hit the tail of another thick arrow with one punch. The other leg made an unimaginable bend in the air. This almost exceeded the limit of the human body, but it came into contact with The shaft of the third thick arrow.

The last thick arrow was shot at the carriage from his back. He barely collided with the body of the last thick arrow with his back.

His entire set of actions is completely unlike what humans can do.

This is due to the fact that when he was practicing martial arts, he learned the basic stretching of dance in his previous life, which allowed his body to perform movements that could only be done by contortionists in his previous life.

Coupled with his strong mental focus, he was able to accomplish the feat of affecting the shooting paths of four thick arrows in a short period of time.

Jia Qiang did not check the situation of the carriage. He had already reached his limit.

The 'Zhentian Bow' in his hand was fully drawn, and a metal arrow was shot out. His fingers gently took out the second metal arrow from his side, and the arrows continued.

The four metal arrows were fired in two breaths, and four miserable screams came from the distance.

He found the hidden target based on the attack lines of the four thick arrows.

Jia Qiang did not go to check the results of the battle, but stayed in front of the carriage.

The carriage at the moment was a bit miserable. The carriage was specially made with special metal plates that could block attacks from all directions.

It's just that the attack of the thick arrow is too sharp, and even the metal plate cannot completely block it.

A gap was cut into the carriage wall on the left side of the carriage, and above the side of the carriage, a thick arrow was stuck in the metal carriage wall.

A guard holding a large shield next to him was hit by a thick arrow and his body was cut into two pieces. This was because Jia Qiang's timely reaction affected the attack route of the four thick arrows, otherwise Emperor Jingwen in the carriage would not have survived.

Jia Qiang also took advantage of the gap in the carriage to see the Holy Face for the first time.

Emperor Jingwen's face was a little pale, and his eyes were full of anger.

This was not just because he had just passed death, but also because he knew the origin of the thick arrow.

"Eight Oxen Crossbow!" Emperor Jingwen said through gritted teeth.

Xia Shouzhong's face was also pale, and four crossbow arrows passed him by. If Emperor Jingwen was shot, he would die before Emperor Jingwen shot him.

Even if he is a fourth-level master, he cannot deal with the concentrated fire of four eight-oxen crossbows.

The reason why Jia Qiang was able to influence the crossbow arrows fired by the Baniu Crossbow was because the opponent's target was not him at all, but Emperor Jingwen. This allowed him to react in a timely manner without considering his own safety.

"Jia Qiang go over and find the Eight Ox Crossbow!" Emperor Jingwen issued the order directly.

"Yes!" Jia Qiang obeyed the order and ran forward.

In the process of running, the 'Zhentian Bow' in his hand was always on guard.

Even though he had just shot four arrows and hit the enemy who was manipulating the Eight Ox Crossbow, it was hard to tell how accurate his archery skills were in an attack that was equivalent to a blind shot.

He is far from the realm of a master archer, and can only ensure that the arrows hit a small range.

Soon he arrived five hundred meters away, where four eight-oxen crossbows were placed in four positions and camouflaged.

The two shooters fell to the ground. One of his metal arrows was shot from the chest and the other from the abdomen. The terrifying power of the 'Zhentian Bow' killed them on the spot.

There were only two pools of blood left on the other two Eight Ox Crossbows. The shooters must have escaped even though they were injured.

Jia Qiang did not pursue him. The vegetation beside the official road was deep. If he wanted to find the escaping enemy from there, it might be possible unless he was an experienced Ye Busuo.

Although he has the knowledge of a scout, there is a huge gap between knowledge and practice.

He shook his head, pulled up the four bed crossbows, and headed towards the carriage.

Each Eight Ox Crossbow weighs two hundred kilograms and has wheels underneath to assist in travel.

Normally, moving one Eight-Niu Crossbow requires the cooperation of many people, but in Jia Qiang's hands, it is not difficult to move four Eight-Niu Crossbow.

"Your Majesty, let the two assassins escape!" Jia Qiang was unable to kneel because he was wearing armor, so he bowed and reported.

Emperor Jingwen did not blame him, but opened the curtain and looked at the four eight-oxen crossbows.

"Okay, that's really good, even using sharp weapons like the Eight Ox Crossbow!" He murmured to himself.

Ba Niu Crossbow, although this type of weapon is recorded in the "Yan Gong Bing Shu", it is marked as an important weapon of the country. Even if there is a detailed description in the "Yan Gong Bing Shu", without the supporting craftsmen and equipment, Baniu still cannot be made. crossbow.

The Eight-Niu Crossbow is one of the few weapons that can threaten a fifth-level master wearing armor, and it is also Daqian's weapon to control the country.

But such a country-governing weapon appeared at the scene of the assassination of Emperor Daqian, which was a joke.

Jia Qiang was actually a little scared after seeing the Eight Ox Crossbow.

When he intercepted four eight-oxen crossbow arrows, he did so without knowing it, thinking that they were just ordinary bed crossbows.

If he had known earlier that it was the Eight Ox Crossbow, he might have hesitated before taking action.

If that really happens, Emperor Jingwen may be seriously injured or killed, and the political situation in Daqian will undergo huge changes.

Just as Jia Qiang was thinking about it, Xia Shouzhong jumped out of the carriage, lay on the ground and put his ears to the ground.

"A large group of cavalry is approaching, with more than two thousand people!" Xia Shouzhong quickly jumped back to the carriage and reported to Emperor Jingwen.

"Be on guard, use the eight-oxen crossbow!" Emperor Jingwen ordered in a deep voice.

Among the remaining five guards holding large shields, four of them operated the Eight Ox Crossbows, and the remaining guard blocked the large shield at the gap in the carriage.
