Although Zhao Guangde was much more capable than before, he was still a little shy in the face of Han Hu, who was as beautiful as jade and surpassed 90% of the women in the world, so he looked at Duanmuci, who was diagonally opposite.

Zigong knew that before he came, he had already been instructed by Zhao Wuxi, and he was solely responsible for today's lobbying. This was also Zigong's first battle as a returnee!

So he rushed to attend, bowed respectfully to Han Hu and said: "Han Zi is right, we do intend to borrow troops. After leaving the prefecture and county, we still need to pass Huaiyi and Xiuwu, and travel more than one hundred miles east. It took a long time to get to Jijin Ferry, and it was within the jurisdiction of Fan's Chaoge. Now the gentleman has only ten leather chariots and four hundred soldiers. Han Zi can send troops to help."

Han Hu said hesitantly: "Fang Mu, the six ministers of Jin, why did the Fan clan openly intercept the mission? Since they have always been within the borders of Jin, why do they have to make heavy troops?"

At this moment, Fan, Zhao, and even Han's car arrived in Taihang. Han Hu naturally didn't know the complicated changes. And in his heart, he was not willing to help Zhao Wuxi.

Although Zhao and Han were friendly, the two were only friends in general. Han Hu was still brooding about his cousin Bo Lu, who was almost taken away by Zhao Wuxi.

"My gentleman is thinking of Han's reputation. In any case, Le Bo was assassinated in Han's territory. If Han Zi didn't send someone to **** his coffin, I'm afraid it wouldn't make sense."

Han Hu smiled and spread his hands helplessly: "But I, the Han clan, have rules, and if I deploy more than 100 troops, I will definitely be a tiger talisman... This matter is not something I can handle. I also ask Zigong to convey it for me, please forgive me Zitai. ."

Zigong sees Han Hu perfunctorily. He deliberately sighed and said: "In the past, when Han Xianzi lost his parents in his childhood, he was helpless. Zhao Chengzi raised him in Zhaocheng and regarded him as his own son; when he came to Zhao Xuanzi, he used Han Xianzi as the army commander and entrusted him with important responsibilities and trust. , ranked below the six ministers; when Han Xuanzi and Zhao Wenzi were friends, they were ministers together, and they were honored and went on expeditions together; Han Zhenzi and Zhao Jingzi were also friends, and the Zhao family was willing to exchange the wealthy Pingyang for the barren Mashou County. ."

This is the history of Zhao's kindness to Han's. The relationship between the two is too close. Han Hu also knows that this is the truth when they talk about it one by one.

However, Zigong continued to speak loudly: "The poem says, let it sing, and ask for a friend's voice. If you are a bird, you still ask for a friend's voice. The Zhao and Han families have their own family rules. If the other side is in trouble, they must help each other. The two families have supported each other for more than a hundred years before they have the status and territory they are today. Who would have guessed that today. Han Zi was unwilling to send a brigade of troops and a whole army of soldiers for my gentleman. He didn't know that Han Xianzi and Han Xuanzi were there. If Jiuyou Xia knew, how would you feel?"

Zigong's logic is clear and his articulation is sharp. Han Hu was thin-skinned and was ashamed to hear that. He hurriedly avoided the banquet and bowed to Zigong and said: "Good, Zigong is worthy of the name of a scholar. It was because of my lack of thought that I sent troops to lead the way for Zitai. But the Han family rules cannot be violated, and with the ability of Han Hu, only Can provide a soldier."

After hearing the words, Zigong secretly said that the gentleman expected it was not bad. Even if Han was willing to help, he would not give too much.

So Zigong bowed to Han Hu again and said, "How can I bother Han Zi's personal soldiers, the gentleman said, if this is the case, you don't have to forcefully send troops, and it will save Han Zi's embarrassment, why not..."

Han Hu's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "Why not?"

Zigong chuckled: "Why don't you lend the more than 200 crossbow machines in Hanzi's house to my gentleman, this thing can be better than a hundred soldiers..."

…

After being persuaded by Quilt Zigong, Han Hu was generous and generous, and borrowed all the secret weapons built by Han at one time. After all, he has already expressed his position. Since even the living guards are willing to borrow, let alone the dead equipment?

After hearing the news, Zhao Wuxi, who was wearing a draft, immediately went to thank Han Hu, and with Zhao Guangde took the Wen County disciples to receive the 200 crossbow machines.

Led by the two **** chiefs named Su Shouyu and Wen Li, two hundred Wen County pawns dressed in ge cloths stood on the school grounds, and were also curiously looking at the weapons that they had just moved here with their own hands.

Zhao Wuxi paced past and found that these Wenxian county soldiers had immature faces, and they stood crookedly. Their discipline and equipment were not even a little bit worse than that of the people in the township, and even the first soldiers of the Le clan.

"Have you ever been on the battlefield?"

The county officers looked at each other in dismay, a little timidly afraid to answer.

Su Shouyu, the chief of the pawn, said: "I want the doctor to know that these are the selected children of the good family of the Chinese. They have only shot and hunted in autumn and winter, and have never fought in battle."

Zhao Wuxi nodded slightly and asked them to abandon their spears and hold a crossbow. Starting today, they will start training on winding, aiming, and firing together after hearing the sound.

Wu Xie himself also picked up a crossbow machine that had just been transported from the treasury. After overturning and observing, he found that it was almost identical to the one that Han Hu gave him as a gift for the crown half a month ago. But many places are still primitive, not as good as the novice crossbow Zhao Wuxi used to shoot the blind assassin Guyezi.

Zhao's crossbow soldier, Wu Xie, was also in the early stages, but before he could form it, he encountered this mission. On the contrary, Han, who obtained the crossbow style earlier, has built hundreds of them and stored them in the treasuries of various places.

Wu Xie thought to himself: "It's no wonder that the Han clan was able to rank among the three Jins. During the Warring States Period, they were even famous for their powerful crossbows. Presumably from this era, they have paid attention to cultivating crossbow soldiers."

They don't have a sense of secrecy, so they can only know without a shirt. After all, most people, including Han Buxin and Han Hu's grandfather and grandson, just play with crossbows as rare ingenuity, and haven't realized the magic and power of this weapon.

Therefore, Han shi has built a weapon, but it is too late to equip the soldiers, but Zhao Wuxi is cheaper.

The Han crossbow is composed of wooden crossbow arms, bamboo bow bodies, bow strings made of cattle and deer tendons, and bronze crossbows. But Wangshan, who didn't have the aiming, Wu Xie tried a shot at the wooden target on the school field, and found that the pulling force was only one stone, and the effective range was no more than fifty steps.

The original wooden crossbow is not difficult to make. It may have appeared in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, but it has not been popularized. It is mostly used to shoot small prey such as pheasants and rabbits.

Qin, a craftsman of Chu State, had an idea in the wave of Wu State's invasion of the pirates. He "bows his arms horizontally. After installing the bronze machine bracket. Further improve the performance of the crossbow so that it can be used in the military. The people of Chu used this thing to drive away the people of Wu.

This is a revolution in long-range weapons.

From the launch principle, the crossbow and the bow are the same, both use the bow to store energy, and then convert it into kinetic energy by rapidly closing the string to bounce the arrow forward.

The difference between them is mainly manifested in the following two aspects. First, the bow draw only depends on the human arm strength. No matter how strong the human strength is, the pulling force of the two arms is limited after all, so it is impossible to draw the bow for a long time. You need to aim quickly and shoot arrows as quickly as possible. The second is that the strength of the bow cannot exceed the human arm strength, otherwise it will not be able to be drawn, so the range is limited, and it is not possible to shoot multiple arrows at one time.

The crossbow is different, because it pulls the bow mounted horizontally on the arm, and then puts the string on the teeth first. Therefore, the transmission can be delayed. There is enough time to aim, and you can hold a full Fu arrow and wait for a favorable opportunity. Since the arrows are the same, they can also fire in a straight salvo. Unleash the power of your weapons.

The requirements of the crossbow on the user are also relatively low, unlike the bow, which requires long-term training, a weak woman or an old soldier. It can also shoot a light crossbow in close proximity. Therefore, the two hundred disciples who were temporarily selected. Although it takes a long time to become familiar with the superb crossbow technique. But it is possible to simply lift the string and pull the hanging knife to shoot the crossbow.

Through previous experiments, he also found the shortcomings of the crossbow. First of all, the crossbow is slower than the bow, and it is not flexible enough, especially it is not conducive to shooting the enemy during fast travel. Secondly, the stronger the power of the crossbow, the longer the process of preparing the crossbow to launch, so the launch is slow.

However, Zhao Wushi also took into account the military limitations of his era, especially in the Central Plains, where chariots were still the main force in field battles, the rate of unarmed soldiers was extremely low, and the phalanx of heavy infantry had not yet fully emerged.

What's more, he also has a coup from later generations that can make up for this defect.

In any case, Zhao Wuxi had a little more confidence in this trip. If Chaoge's Fan clan soldiers dared to stop them, with two hundred crossbowmen, two hundred soldiers and ten chariots provided by Wenxian, He has the confidence to slaughter an enemy twice his size!

On the other side of the school grounds, Chen Dingguo, the secretary of the Le clan, was also inspecting the more than 100 Le clan soldiers.

Song people are tough and stubborn, good at defense, always like to carry a wooden shield, and they are good at using swords, so most of them are sword and shield soldiers.

Chen Dingguo said loudly: "The death of your lord is a shame for the Le family, and it is also a shame for us. Can the second and third sons know, who assassinated the lord?"

The soldiers of the Le clan shook their heads blankly, but there was hope in their eyes. They wanted to know who the murderer was in order to avenge Le Qi. Le Qi adhered to the family motto of "not being greedy as a treasure", and was very kind to the Chinese and savages in the various regions of the Le family. In the event of a disaster year, the food in the treasury will be borrowed from the people, but no IOU will be written, that is, the people will not be required to return it.

If his love is like his parents, he will belong to the flowing water. This move makes the people of Le's country very respectful and loyal to Le Qi.

So, when they heard this, they all gritted their teeth with hatred, and they were even more indignant when Chen Dingguo said that he might be stopped by Fan on his way back to China. So everyone vowed to follow Zhao Wuxi, who was equivalent to half of Le's masters, to kill Fan's Xiaoxiao who came to die, and let them be buried with Le Qi.

This is naturally what Zhao Wuxi instructed Chen Dingguo to do, and after he taught the formation and archery, he arranged for Wu Jing, who is good at organizing, to train with crossbowmen, and he himself entered the temporary mourning hall for Le Qi again. .

It's already the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, and there is ice in the coffin, so there's no need to worry about Le Qi's body rotting for the time being, but inside, it's so cold that the bones are numb.

Wu Xie took the fur coat from the hand of Han's maid and put it on the shoulders of Le Lingzi, who was kneeling on the couch.

The girl lost her former agility, only misery and sadness.

"My father has always been kind to people. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com is neither arrogant nor extravagant, and follows Le's family motto of not being greedy as a treasure. The short spear running through Le Qi's chest made Le Lingzi feel a pain in his heart.

Wu Xian caressed her hair and swore: "Le Bo is like my father, and the revenge of killing my father is undeniable. I will investigate the people who did this, and I will read them every day. sleep with their names, I'll make them pay if I get the chance!"

However, Le Lingzi shook his head, holding the shirtless hand and said, "I have lost my father, and I can no longer be without a gentleman. Now Lingzi just wants to go home and bring his father home."

Zhao Wuxi knelt down beside her, and said to Le Qi's coffin again: "Shan, I will take you and Le Bo, let's go home together!" (To be continued..)
