For Liu Bei, the Western Regions must go in this life.

Then he said, "Yes."

Bai Zhuo solemnly clenched his fists: The young prince is willing to make an alliance with me by blood, and swear to the sky.

Liu Bei smiled: Why not!

What Bai Zhuo asked for was nothing more than to settle in Lousang, and reward and punish together. What's so hard about it? The mountains and barbarians all eat Hanlu. The imperial court also allowed Liu Bei the right to act cheaply, and it was not inappropriate to take in a Xihu ranger.

The key is whether the truth is as Bai Zhuo said. The Western Regions are too far to go. There are a lot of merchants in the middle of the city. Then they ordered them to inquire carefully. As Bai Zhuo said, a few years ago, the Qiuzi court was in turmoil, and the crown prince was deposed and disappeared. It is roughly the same as Bai Zhuo's description. As for whether Bai Zhuo was the deposed crown prince, Liu Bei had no way to find out.

However, Liu Bei looked at it and said that Bai Zhuo was not a traitor. As long as you serve wholeheartedly, you will be loyal. It doesn't matter what your background is.

Below Bai Zhuo, three hundred turtle rangers. Wulian is in full swing. In addition to the hired Xihu mercenaries, and then more than 100 Wuhuan cavalry under his command, and more than 1,000 Xiwu iron cavalry, it was completed.

Lou Sang soldier armor naturally needs a set of people. The Han Dynasty has a unique skill of combining armor, Liu Bei's original porcelain glaze paint, and a set of armor riding equipment, and the defense power is far beyond the past. The Xiwu Iron Cavalry with armor is a first-class heavy assault horse under Liu Bei.

On the basis of the peacock knife forging method, the good craftsman of Houfu combined with the skills of the Han Dynasty to forge a scimitar suitable for both Han and Hu. Because the knife body is straight, the tip of the knife has a curve, and there is a reverse blade, which resembles a Yanling, it was named by Liu Bei with a flash of inspiration: Yanling knife.

At this point, Lou Sang civil officials wear swords, and military generals carry swords. It became fashionable.

"I have a goose feather knife, and the cold light shines on the ice and snow."

Lou Sang Yan Ling knife and Guding ancient ingot knife, and called the two famous knives in Hebei.

Guding, place name. The sword produced is known for its sharpness. When it was called the ancient sword, the ancient sword. Also known as the ancient ingot knife.

The biggest difference with the horse chopping knife is that the Yanling knife is a waist knife. Good for hand-to-hand combat.

There are also 500 dragon rangers. They are all carefully selected by Xu Rong and Taoka, and they are innocent Northland rangers.

The martial arts arena is flourishing. The barracks and the general houses are almost full. The north and south are mixed. Eat and live together, practice together. Flags and orders must be familiar. Colonels also need to learn military discipline and the art of war. The martial arts arena reopened and sold out in an instant.

The dragon ranger and the Xiwu iron rider took turns to practice more than 1,000 white guards.

The head of Lou Sang's elite soldiers is Bai Yu's elite soldiers. The embroidery officials who protect the young monarch and the marquis are all born in white.

Bai Yu is good at foot fighting. Nowadays, horse warfare is also known as sophisticated. For the drill to shake Xianbei. Liu Bei asked Xu Rong to lead the dragon to ride, and Wu Lian led the Xiwu iron cavalry, taking turns to attack. The white soldiers are waiting in formation. Rock solid. Especially the Danyang white yu, who is accustomed to seeing jackals, tigers and leopards. In the face of the roaring iron horseman, he was completely fearless.

If it weren't for the fact that the saber was wrapped in layers of leather. The white-eared elite soldiers march like a wall, and they are all broken when real people are broken!

There are also a newly formed 1,000 yellow crossbowmen. During the war, the formation was formed in front of the white elixir, with a ten-stone rhubarb crossbow and a long-range shot of 800 steps. Double loss streak. Arrows rain down like a forest. The power is terrifying.

The 100 crossbowmen under the command of his father-in-law Huang Zhong also increased to 500. All concurrent crossbows are replaced with repeating shield crossbows, which are called: repeating shield crossbowmen. The reason why he wears double leather armor is because the shield crossbow is suitable for both attack and defense. It protects the chest and abdomen when shooting. The way the continuous fire of the shield crossbow is also different from that of the yellow crossbowman.

A ten-stone rhubarb crossbow requires a winch. And the shield crossbowmen are all open crossbows (crossbows opened by the strength of the arm): "Hair between the shoulders, a hundred paces away from killing." ”

The side arms of the crossbow are provided with tension springs. The shape is similar to the 'bolt handle' of later generations. It is a handle that extends from the side, and the end is spherical. When firing the crossbow, pull the ball-shaped handle backwards to wind it. The storage box contains 20 flying fly arrows.

"Dongguan Han Ji": "Guangwu makes flying fly arrows to attack red eyebrows". "Dialect": "Its three sickles (edges) and six feet are called flying flies."

The bronze arrowhead of the flying fly arrow is about 3 cm long, the iron collar is more than 1 foot 4 inches long (34 cm), and the length is 1 foot 6 inches (37 cm). Its copper body, iron collar, collar tail, and copper cap are all divided. It is the most lethal arrow of the moment.

In addition to this, there are poisoned arrows.

The copper arrowhead is dominated by the three-sickle "sheep's head arrowhead". The edge of one side of the body is opened, and the triangular groove is opened on it, which is used to apply poison.

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Geng Yilie": "Gong Cheng Cheng fought in the city, and Fu Ya was poisoned. The Xiongnu said: 'The Han arrow god, among which the sores must be different.' 'Because of the strong crossbow shot. Those who were captured were all boiled (swollen) and were shocked. It will be stormy, and it will be struck by the rain, killing and injuring many people. The Huns were terrified, and said: 'The god of Han soldiers, it's really terrifying!' ”

As soon as the shield crossbowmen came out, there was a sensation.

The most important part of the crossbow is the crossbow machine that has been lost in later generations. A crossbow machine is a highly efficient mechanical device. It is composed of hanging knives, teeth, ox (hook heart), lookout mountain and other parts. Linked to each other and working smartly. With a single flick of the sword, the bolt will shoot instantly.

The Han Dynasty succeeded the Qin, and the forging process became more and more perfect. Thus, the Han crossbow reached its peak. There are tension crossbows, kick crossbows, rhubarb crossbows and various ballista cannons. During the Western Han Dynasty, the rhubarb crossbow was mainly used by officers such as the captain of the shooting voice. Dedicated to sniping enemy generals. Shooting at 800 paces from a distance, it is a formidable long-range weapon. Li Guang used a big yellow crossbow to snipe several Hun generals at a long distance and successfully broke the siege. Due to its great power, the Han Dynasty set up a "horse crossbow pass" in the border stopper, strictly prohibiting the output of strong crossbows of more than ten stones, and preventing the outflow of skills.

Hou Fu Liangjiang and Lou Sang Nenggong, together to create the Yellow Crossbow Soldiers, how terrifying. Xianbei may be able to experience it for himself right away.

Troop chariots, equipment, armor, shields and crossbows, and grain and grass baggage. The entire Linxiang is preparing for this expedition.

But the young prince and the marquis are doing business as usual.

The Hou Mansion did not see the slightest panic.

Licheng continued to be built. The governor repaired the city walls. Governor Kang Daze, go deep into the polder. Huaisi residents have moved in one after another on the eastern, southern, and western official roads. But it no longer has the momentum it used to be. Neighboring states and counties breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't wait for the heat to subside. News came from the imperial court.

In August, Emperor Ling took Xianbei to plunder the border counties for many years, ordered to protect Wuhuan Captain Xia Yu, broke Xianbei Zhonglang General Tian Yan, Xiongnu Zhonglang General Zang Min each led more than 10,000 cavalry people, respectively from Gaoliu, Yunzhong, Yanmen out of the fortress, and attacked Xianbei in three ways.

Six hundred miles were rushed to Lousang. Liu Bei then summoned Geng Yong, Cui Jun, Huang Zhong, and Xu Rong into the study for a secret talk.

Three days later, Wu Lian and Bai Zhuo led 1,000 Xiwu iron cavalry, and Xu Rong Tiangang led 500 dragon rangers and hundreds of military chariots to the north to Beiping County. Sweep the Xianbei rangers along the way.

On another three days, Liu Bei took 500 Danyang white yurts and 50 embroidered clothes to the north. Huang Zhong led 1,000 yellow crossbowmen, 500 shield crossbowmen, and 500 archers; Cui Ba and Han Meng led 500 sword and shield soldiers, and 500 spearmen went together. Huang Gai led 500 boats to protect along the way. Weapons, grain and grass all went north with the ship.

A mighty Northern Expedition fleet, under the attention of countless villagers, sailed out of the White Lake.
