Wanzi City.

Li Yan's room.

Li Yan quietly walked behind Liu Huiniang, who was fiddling with a crossbow of more than one meter long, and then hugged Liu Huiniang in her arms!

Liu Huiniang angrily said, "Be careful of your son!"

Li Yan touched Liu Huiniang's lower abdomen and said, "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about you. If I had known that your body was so weak, I wouldn't have this child!"

Li Yan is not coaxing Liu Huiniang, but the truth. There are too many women who can give birth to children, but this is the only one girl Zhuge!

Liu Huiniang turned her head and gave Li Yan a blank look, and said, "Don't you blame me!"

Li Yan smiled awkwardly!

It’s true that Li Yan is blamed for this matter!

Because I haven't touched a woman for too long, and my physical fitness has become so good, Li Yan accidentally hurts Liu Huiniang's vitality!

Coincidentally, Liu Huiniang became pregnant again!

This scared Li Yan, and he quickly sent Yang Lin and Zhu Fu to earn An Daoquan and Kong Hou up the mountain respectively!

Li Yan said: "When any of the two miracle doctors, An Daoquan and Kong Hou, come to the mountain, they will definitely help you with your body. Then I will teach you a set of five animal health care programs and keep your body better than mine."

Although Li Yanqiang married her, after more than a month of getting along, Liu Huiniang had already accepted her fate and even began to help Li Yan develop a divine arm crossbow.

You can say that this is mainly due to the traditional ideas of women in this era.

But this designation is also indispensable to Li Yan's careful management.

Nowadays, Li Yan in Liu Huiniang's eyes is like this - he is domineering but gentle, good at martial arts but not obsessed with martial arts, knowledgeable and talented, knowledgeable, well-versed in the world, and knowledgeable in the hearts of the people, with great wisdom, and no shame in asking questions, doing good deeds, being strong in body, with extraordinary appearance, well... to achieve his goal, Li Yan still calls her heart and her intentions.

These may be a bit illusory, so let’s talk about something real:

Li Yan really believes in her talent and really gives her the opportunity to show her talent. Whether it is military and political, or other things, Li Yan discusses with her, and will adopt her suggestions at least seven or eight times in ten times. Even if she does not adopt her suggestions, she will explain the reasons in detail.

Li Yan has a very common language with her and can talk together. Unlike others, she can only listen to her without any refutation in front of her. Often, some of her wonderful ideas will be treated as jokes. In front of Li Yan, she can speak freely. Li Yan doesn't understand everything, but she can also give feasible suggestions or reasonable insights. She often hits the point with just one word. Her wild ideas are not only not prejudiceable for Li Yan, but Li Yan can also answer some questions and even give evidence. On the contrary, sometimes she can't keep up with Li Yan's footsteps. Often, Li Yan said casually for a long time, or even for a long time, and finally Li Yan has to explain it in detail to her. In short, being with Li Yan makes her feel that she is not so unique. She is just an ordinary woman who knows a little more, which makes her very happy, who has always been very lonely.

In addition, Li Yan really loves her!

Take her health as an example this time.

Without saying a word, Li Yan sent Yang Lin and Zhu Fu out to earn An Daoquan and Kong Hou up the mountain respectively!

You know, Yang Lin and Zhu Fu are not idle people who are fine. The former originally wanted to go to Sizhou with Meng Kang to earn Ye Chun and the Ye family, while the latter not only wanted to open a hotel in Jeju Prefecture, but also went to Zhenrong to earn masters and excellent Feishou slaves in the Qu family!

She knew very well that whether it was a sea boat or a flying slave, they were treasures that Li Yan was eager to get!

But for her, Li Yan pushed both treasures back without hesitation!

Let me ask, if you have this husband, what else can you ask for?

Besides, now that the rice has been cooked, she is already Li Yan’s person, and she will have to have children for Li Yan in seven or eight months. How can she have other choices?

Liu Huiniang said softly: "I'm fine... look at my improved divine arm crossbow."

Li Yan took the magic arm crossbow from Liu Huiniang's hand and blamed him: "Didn't I give you more rest?"

Liu Huiniang said: "I made a magic arm crossbow when I was a child. This time I just guided others to create another one and improve it by the way, so I won't be tired."

Liu Huiniang said again: "The greater the power, the higher the accuracy, the greater the weight and the longer the winding time. This one is the most balanced after comparison. The maximum range can reach 270 steps, which can penetrate the heavy armor and can be fired by one person."

(The three hundred and forty steps that appear in all the documents introduced in the Song Dynasty are mostly 240 steps, so everyone generally recognizes that 340 steps are a mistake of 240 steps, and one step is 15 meters. In other words, the maximum range of the Divine Arm Crossbow of the Song Dynasty was 360 meters. Of course, there is also a saying that the maximum range is 400 meters.)

Liu Huiniang's improved divine arm crossbow shot forty-five meters more than the Song Dynasty's standard divine arm crossbow, which is already very powerful, but the greedy Li Yan still asked: "Can it make it more powerful?"

Liu Huiniang said: "Then you have to increase its weight, and one person will not be able to launch it."

After hearing what Liu Huiniang said, Li Yan immediately gave up the idea of ​​this. If it could not be fired by one person, the practicality of the Divine Arm Crossbow would be greatly reduced.

You should know that the rate of fire of the Divine Arm Crossbow is two shots per minute, and if it is well-trained, if it cannot be fired by one person, it cannot be compared with the bow and arrow of ten arrows per minute.

In that case, Li Yan designated to give up the development of the Divine Arm Crossbow and instead develop bows and arrows.

Speaking of this, some people may be puzzled. Since bows and arrows have such great advantages in firing rate, why didn’t Li Yan develop bows and arrows? Is it because the range of the Divine Arm Crossbow is more than 100 meters away from the bows and arrows?

Of course not. In fact, there is not much difference between being able to shoot four hundred meters and being able to shoot two hundred to three hundred meters, especially when the other party has a horse.

The real reason is that archers need to be trained for a long time.

The cultivation of archers is a very long and painful task, especially for the Han people who built their country through farming.

Han people, who select professional soldiers from civilians and train archers, must wait until the person is eighteen or twenty years old before they can perform.

Those nomads who grew up on horseback began to try to use the softest bow at the age of seven or eight. When they grew up, they became first-class archers.

The Han people compared to the nomadic peoples with bows and arrows, which can be said to have no advantage at all.

Moreover, archers still have great requirements for physical fitness, and the accuracy and power of the shooter will be greatly reduced after several rounds of shooting.

On the contrary, crossbows can be aimed for a long time, and it is much easier to operate and does not require too much physical strength. Therefore, crossbow archers are much easier to cultivate.

Of course, it does not mean that Li Yan would not develop archers anymore. After all, crossbows have disadvantages that cannot be ignored, such as slow firing speed and difficulty in making, and they still need to be filled with the shortcomings of bows and arrows.
