Chapter 132 The sudden appearance of a magical weapon

Logically speaking, since Li Si had already spoken, the others should just listen.

But I never thought that not only some people stood up.

The person who stood up was actually Li Si’s only son Li You?
This is somewhat surprising.

But Li Si didn't care about these. Instead, he looked at Li Youdao with interest.

"Oh, Li You, it seems you are really prepared!"

"Could you please tell me in detail? I really want to see it!"

Li Si actually didn't care much about being refuted by his son.

Even the sight of his eldest son standing in the court and talking to him with his head held high was enough to surprise Li Si.

However, facing his father's question, Li You first turned his head slightly and looked at Ying Yuan.

Ying Yuan smiled and nodded, saying, "Li You might as well tell our Prime Minister Li and other court officials about this!"

"Although these things are actually military affairs, there is no need to hide them!"

Upon hearing this, Li You bowed and accepted the order, then looked at his father and said.

"Yesterday, His Majesty issued an order for Prince Yuan to lead the battle against the Xiongnu. After that, Prince Yuan summoned us and made the corresponding arrangements!"

"Among them, what was handed over to me was a piece of military equipment."

"After I received the drawings that you gave me, I organized the craftsmen to make it overnight."

"After preliminary testing, I can basically confirm that if we have this thing in this battle, our army's chances of winning will increase by at least 20%!"

"The Huns are nothing but chickens and dogs!"

Li You's words were a bit impolite.

But before anyone could speak, Li You looked at Ying Yuan and said.

"Sir, I request your permission to bring the real object to the Qilin Hall for display!"

Ying Yuan agreed immediately after hearing this.

This is actually just a process.

After all, under normal circumstances, Li You is not qualified to enter the Qilin Hall with weapons.

After getting Ying Yuan's approval, Li You didn't use anyone else. He walked out of the hall door quickly and came in from outside holding a wooden box.

Then, in front of everyone, he opened the wooden box.

"Everyone, this is the magic weapon that was made overnight by our craftsmen!"

“I have to say, I never thought that such a divine weapon could be created by the craftsmen in my house.”

"In my opinion, only the craftsmen of the Mohist School are qualified to make such items."

Li You held the opened wooden box in both hands, looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, this is our Great Qin's new compound bow!"

Compound bow?
When this name came out, everyone frowned.

No matter what kind of bow you have, as long as you are still a bow, what else can you do with it?

In particular, when everyone took a closer look, they realized that they couldn't tell what this bow was at all.

Not to mention that it's pitch black, it also has a lot more messy parts than the usual bows.

There is even a small wheel on each of the two bows?

Everyone was really stunned.

Li Xin was originally nervous and worried, thinking that Li You was going to use some powerful weapon.

As a result, after seeing the appearance of this "magic bow", Li Xin laughed out loud.

"Puchi, Li You, you actually call this thing a bow?"

"Besides, do you have the nerve to say that this thing is a magical weapon?"

It’s not Li Xin’s fault for being so arrogant. Although his combat record is not that great, his basic skills are still pretty good.

At least Li Xin was familiar with the mainstream weapons and siege equipment of the Qin army.

The powerful crossbows of the Qin Dynasty were the most powerful weapons that overwhelmed the six kingdoms back then. This was a unique feature of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, the Qin army had already studied bows and crossbows.

As a result, Li You took out such a weird thing and said it was a magic weapon?
Do you really think the Qin crossbow is just a name in vain?
Not to mention Li Xin, even Feng Jie, who had never been in the army, had begun to gloat over other people's misfortune and made a sarcastic remark.

"Tsk tsk, Li You, it seems that you don't know enough about our Great Qin!"

"If you had known more about the Qin's military equipment, you wouldn't have made such a joke!"

Facing the sarcasm of these two people, Li You's face was full of confidence.

"The powerful crossbows of our Great Qin are famous all over the world!"

"Although I am still young, I have heard of it a long time ago."

"However, it is precisely because you have long been aware of the power of the Qin crossbow that you are more certain that this compound bow is the magic weapon of the Qin Dynasty!"

Having said that, Li You carefully took out the compound bow as if he was holding a rare treasure.

Looking at this strange-looking compound bow, Li You was actually feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

Before he had completely built the compound bow and tested it himself.

Not to mention believing it, he couldn't even imagine how such a magical object could exist.

The gap between them is too big!

It was so big that even now, Li You felt that this thing should not be called a bow.

"Humph! Li You, you actually think this thing is more powerful than the Qin Crossbow of my Great Qin?"

The disdain and sarcasm in Li Xin's words were simply beyond words.

It would be fine if what Li You said was just ordinary things.

Qin crossbow?

That thing was a powerful weapon that swept across the six nations.

Not to mention this thing in front of me, even a real bow and arrow can't compare to it.

Because the Qin crossbow is not the same object as the bow and arrow at all.

The Qin crossbow needs to be strung with the foot every time.

Every time I shoot, it’s an intense physical activity.

However, it is precisely because of this hard work that the Qin crossbow is so powerful.

Li You listened to Li Xin's words, smiled and raised the compound bow in his hand.

"General Li Xin, and all the other officials, let me now explain to you the benefits of this compound bow."

"After I finish, I'm sure you will all know clearly why I insist that this thing is the divine weapon of the Qin Dynasty!"

Ignoring Li Xin's pretentious expression, Li You raised his index finger and spoke.

"First, this is a strong bow. I have personally tested it. As long as it is within ten feet, no armor can stop this arrow."

"Heavy armor or a breastplate, they can't withstand a single arrow!"

"Even if it's ordinary leather armor, even if there are three layers stacked together, it can be penetrated by one arrow!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone took a deep breath at the same time.

Can you shoot through three layers of leather armor?

Even heavy armor can’t withstand an arrow?
Could this be some myth or legend?

Before the court officials could start discussing, Li You raised his middle finger again.

"Secondly, this thing saves effort!"

"It's different from my Qin crossbow which has to be strung with the foot, and it's even more different from other strong bows which require tremendous physical strength."

"With this thing, as long as you have one stone of physical strength, you can shoot an arrow weighing at least six stones!"

"I have personally tested this as well!"
