Chapter 1370: Stone Peak Fortress

"As a soldier of Great Qin, he should naturally defend the territory, not to mention that this wolf clan is a sharp blade on my Great Qin's head, once they are allowed to enter the Central Plains, it will be a big disaster, so there is nothing hard to work for. Ma Peng said with a smile, perfectly replied to Ye Shikai's words, if you look at it from this point of view alone, if Ma Peng is placed in a modern enterprise, it should belong to those conscientious middle-level people, meticulous, but it has not been able to meet the opportunity for promotion, and I look forward to the day when I can get the appreciation of my superiors.

"By the way, Brother Ma, we are new to the city, and our understanding of the wolf clan is far less than yours, I have a few questions, and I hope Brother Ma will teach you. Ye Shikai's words changed, and he hoped to find some flaws in Ma Peng's words.

"Brother Ye, just ask, as long as I can answer, I will never hide it. ”

"I've fought with the wolf clan before, of course, only a few times, and I still fought with some of their guerrilla units, I don't know what weapons their regular army has, and what their combat power is. ”

"Presumably Brother Ye has also seen it in the past few days, the wolf clan is known for its bravery, good at horsemanship, riding and shooting, their cavalry is fast and fierce, once a collective charge is launched, it is unstoppable, every time at this time, our army will use a strong bow and crossbow to shoot the wolf cavalry's position, interrupt its state of charge, and then use the spear army formation to meet the enemy, so this can be a sure victory, so General Meng has repeatedly warned the whole army to be diligent in practicing the military formation, otherwise it will ......"

"By the way, you just said that the wolf clan is good at riding and shooting, right? Ye Shikai interrupted Ma Peng's words.

"How...... What's wrong. ”

"Since our army has strong bows and crossbows, and the wolf clan is also good at shooting, in this case, why should the wolf clan charge against the rain of arrows instead of shooting at us. ”

"Brother Ye doesn't know, although the wolf clan is good at archery, but the arrow feathers used to make arrows are scarce in the wolf clan, without arrow feathers, the stability of the arrows produced is not high, and the direction is difficult to maintain, so the wolf clan's arrow production level is not high, plus the wolf clan does not have our armor casting technology, it is difficult to produce iron armor, so once the arrow is hit, it is difficult to resist with the leather armor on the body alone. Ma Peng said in detail, speaking of which, the wolf clan is located in the grassland, except for many horses, cattle and sheep, there is indeed no aspect that can be compared with the Qin Dynasty in the Central Plains is abundant or advanced, especially grain, the grassland lacks food, every winter, people will starve to death and freeze to death, so they covet the fertile Central Plains.

"Brother Ma, I have heard a little about the border pass, if it weren't for the opening of the border pass during the war, there should be business contacts between the wolf clan and Daqin. Ye Shikai said lightly, indeed, there is nothing wrong with this, although the Great Wall was built, it does not mean a complete blockade, the merchants of the Qin Dynasty went to the grassland with food, metal utensils, medicinal materials and other materials, and the merchants of the wolf clan also came to the Central Plains with animal furs, cattle, sheep and horses, but it was this sentence that made Ma Peng look a little uneasy, as if ...... It was on his heart.

"This ...... It is true that the merchants on both sides do have a lot of trade, but for military supplies such as arrows and armor, the border passes are strictly checked, prohibiting these things from flowing into the hands of the wolf clan, and now that the war has begun, all the border passes of Daqin have been sealed. ”

"I see, no wonder, I thought the wolf clan had arrows but didn't use them, it turned out to be this reason. Ye Shikai slowly stood up, patted Ma Peng's shoulder gently, and whispered, "I'll go first, Brother Ma will eat slowly." ”

.........................................................

Back in the barracks, Ye Shikai saw Xue San sitting aside, and when the other party saw Ye Shikai come in, he suddenly stood up from the chair.

"Well, is the investigation clear? ”

"Commander of a thousand years, of course I will fulfill the mission of what you have entrusted me. Xue San took out a bamboo slip from his clothes.

"That's what you're looking for. Xue San handed over the bamboo slip.

"How did you find this information so quickly? Ye Shikai asked curiously.

"Ma Peng's family is in Jixian County, and he is a military general, it is easy to find his family, as for this bamboo slip, it is placed in his study, and it is easy to get it. Xue San said proudly.

"I can't imagine that this Ma Peng is really a set on the surface, a set behind it, no wonder being a commander in this desolate fortress is not aggrieved at all. Ye Shikai opened the bamboo slip, and before he even finished reading it, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had encountered something good.

"Commander, what the hell is going on, is this kid uneasy and kind? Xue San asked curiously.

"It's not like it's unkind, it's just ...... It is evidence that he sold arrows to the wolf clan without permission. Ye Shikai said lightly.

"What. Xue San was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but shout loudly, even in peacetime, military supplies are strictly controlled, and it is forbidden to circulate to the wolf clan, not to mention that they are still sold privately, the key thing is that now that the war has begun, these arrows will soon become the "killing weapon" to slaughter the soldiers of the Qin army.

"This is a capital crime of killing the head, this Ma Peng is really tired of it. Although Xue San was born as a thief, he usually did a lot of things like stealing chickens and dogs, but when he heard that Ma Peng actually sold weapons privately, he also scoffed at it, and even became angry.

Perhaps, this is "there is a way to steal".

"I didn't think you'd be so angry. Ye Shikai teased.

"Commander Qian, although I am not a good person, and I have stolen a lot of people's money, but the general truth is still understood, if it is because of these weapons, the wolf clan has broken through the fortress, I don't know how many people will die. Xue San rarely showed a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, which made Ye Shikai impressed.

"There is a saying in our place, it is called that money can make the devil grind, as long as the profit is high enough, most people will be tempted, if there is a huge profit, then someone will take the risk. Ye Shikai replied, he originally just suspected that Ma Peng had a problem, but now it seems that this is true, if he didn't guess wrong, the assassin who eavesdropped outside the barracks that day was also his subordinate, but unfortunately he really couldn't hold his breath, if Ye Shikai hadn't discovered the assassin, maybe he wouldn't have been suspicious at all, so "blatantly" sent someone over to eavesdrop, undoubtedly not to confess, he first exposed his weakness.

"Commander Qian, we should immediately report to Lord Han and deal with this Ma Peng's felony, I can't imagine that he is diligent and diligent on the surface, but behind his back he is secretly communicating with the wolf clan. ”

"Now that we have the evidence, we should indeed capture Mapeng, but his two thousand sergeants are a bit tricky. ”
