"It's finished?"

"It's done!"

"Let's go, go to the school martial arts field!"

Zu Xiao showed the three-bow bed crossbow, the Qianjun crossbow and the Yuan Xiang bow, which was the general intention that Xu You had outlined for him before, involving simple physical and mathematical principles, and a long-range artifact that was painstakingly developed by the Heavenly Workshop to break the formation and defend the city.

Needless to say, the three-bow bed crossbow is famous in later generations, it can shoot a thousand steps, whether it is equipped or a giant shield, even people and horses are directly inserted into a string, there is no negotiation. You can also fire treadmill arrows that can be driven directly into the city walls, in rows, and the siege soldiers can climb up. The Wanjun crossbow is closer to the divine arm bow of the Song Dynasty, which belongs to a kind of crossbow, which is wound with waist strength and foot pedals, and the range can reach more than 200 steps. The Yuan Xiang Bow is a fusion of the characteristics of the Ming Bow and the Qing Bow, which is different from the current Han Bow and adopts the structure of the long bow tip recurve bow, with a large pulling distance and sufficient energy storage, which can shoot heavy arrows and be used to break armor. Because of the recurve, it is possible to open a larger stone bow with less force, and a grooved leather string pad is added to reduce the force of the bowstring bouncing back, increasing ease of use and stability.

However, the strength of the bow and crossbow lies in the arrows, for example, the Qing army has three categories of arrows, stabbing arrows, and whistle arrows, and the Tiangongfang has made more than 20 kinds of light and heavy arrows such as flat edged arrows, three-edged arrows, and armor-piercing arrows, which can be used according to the different combat units and combat objects, and strive to maximize the input-output ratio.

The effect of the test shot is very amazing, the three-bow bed crossbow can be called a big killing weapon, a heavy arrow and seven arrows, like thunder falling to the ground, the middle one is destroyed. The Wanjun crossbow also performed well, penetrating heavy armor within 200 steps, the winding was simple, and after reaching a certain scale, it was more suitable for field combat than the three-bow bed crossbow. As for the Yuan Xiang Bow, it can penetrate the chain mail within sixty steps, the most important thing is that the accuracy is comparable to having eyes, if you assemble Zhenhaidu, you can almost do it on the battlefield, think about the terrible picture of being aimed at by five hundred snipers, it is not too difficult.

Everyone present was shocked, Tan Zhuo said excitedly: "General, with such a sharp weapon, the Wei Army's iron cavalry is no longer worried!" ”

"It's the people, not the weapons, that decide the winner!" Xu You poured cold water on everyone, and said: "The Wei army's equipment was destroyed in the battle of Herouran, although there is no hope of recovery in a short time, but the number of heavy cavalry and light cavalry still occupies an absolute advantage, we are likely to fight with the Wei army in the Yellow River Valley, the time and place are favorable, and the military division still needs to make more targeted planning, combined with the cooperation between multiple arms to carry out uninterrupted training, so as to be prepared." ”

Everyone was awe-inspiring in their hearts, and they took a fluke, and they didn't dare to be careless, and said, "No! ”

Once the state apparatus is fully operational, the efficiency and scale have become very astonishing, after months of intensive preparations, the state of Chu has been united, mobilizing troops, raising salaries, hoarding grain and grass, rushing to produce ordnance, expanding docks, and the military towns along the Jianghuai line have piled up mountains of grain and grass, and there are countless kinds of ordnance such as swords, guns, bows, crossbows, arrows, armor, ships, thunder guns, etc. Tiangongfang cooperated with the Fifth Military Department and the General as a supervisor, and with reference to the example of Zhao Xin Shipyard and Yangzhou Guanfang, it undertook the work of regulation, design and casting molds of various weapons, which was a reasonable amount of war money.

In fact, with Xu You's current status, the demand for money is not very large, but the money that should be collected must be collected, otherwise, family affairs and state affairs are not separated, and I am afraid that it will cause disgust and impeachment by some people.

You must know that only the emperor's family affairs are state affairs!

In these months, Taicheng also issued wills one after another, ordering Zuo Yan to be the history of Yuzhou Thorn, move the town of Chenliu, Qi Xiao to be the history of Yanzhou Thorn, move the town of Gaoping, Zhu Zhi to be the history of Liangzhou Thorn, move the town of Hanzhong, Zhang Huai to be the history of Xiangzhou Thorn and the captain of the Nanban, move the town of Yiling, Wei Buqu replaced Zhu Zhi, as the history of Jiangzhou Thorn. The general Di Xia of the protector army sat in the center, and Wei Buqu and Danyang Yin joined forces to defend Jinling.

In addition, Gu Yun went to Beijing in the next day to officially perform his duties as the secretary of the ministry, and the vacant Yangzhou Thorn History was led by Shanyang Wang An Xiuyuan, and Bao Xi was the governor of Yangzhou, and Li Erniu was the Sima of Yangzhou.

Li Erniu's appointment was passed without shock, and Bao Xi's appointment was stuck in the court meeting, Xie Xiwen hoped to use the old people of Linchuan Wangfu to take this position, but Xu You persuaded An Xiulin to temporarily take Bao Xi as the long history on the grounds that the western expedition needed to maintain the stability of the situation in Yangzhou.

Xie Xiwen accepted Bao Xi's appointment, but on the grounds that the father and son could not be equal, Gu Huaiming resigned from the post of the head of the household department, promoted to the third rank, and was reappointed as a servant, and the head of the household department was replaced by Fan Huaizhi, the head of the household department. Fan Huaizhi was born in a middle-class scholar family, and he was involved with the surnames of the door lords, all by virtue of his ability to be promoted step by step to the head of the household, originally with his rank, the head of the head is the end of being an official, but he is also a smart person, and he actively moved closer to Xie Xiwen and others, so he also got a positive return this time.

On the evening of March 7, when the spring rain was drizzling, Fang Sinian suddenly appeared in the General's Mansion and fell into a coma before he could speak. After examination, she had multiple knife wounds on her shoulder and back, some of which were scabbed, and some of which were new creations, but they were not tight, and they did not hurt her muscles and bones, otherwise she would not have returned to Jinling alive. Xu You used supreme Xuan Gong to heal her internal injuries, and then handed over to Wen Ruquan to recuperate her external injuries, and it won't take long to return to normal.

What really surprised Xu You was that Fang Sinian not only broke the four grades, but also entered the country very quickly, thinking that he should have another adventure in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The news that came from the secret mansion a little earlier, Fang Sinian went to find the ugly slave after entering Pingcheng, and then she couldn't find a trace after leaving the city, and she didn't take the initiative to contact the secret mansion, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, which made Xu You and them worry for a while.

"Si Nian is alright, right?" Zhan Wenjun was still worried, and complained in a low voice: "You are really, why did you promise her to go to Wei alone, never passed through the treacherous little girl in the rivers and lakes, and traveled thousands of miles to the enemy territory, and thought you were abusing children when you said it?" ”

Xu You smiled bitterly: "Si Nian is just pure-minded, in fact, he is extremely smart, he followed the mountain sect all the way to kill thieves, and he was calm when he encountered trouble......

Zhan Wenjun glanced at him, and the majestic General Xu immediately relented and said, "Yes, yes, it's my fault, I should send someone to follow her, just in case." ”

While speaking, Fang Sinian woke up slowly, saw Xu You, showed a bright smile on his pretty face, and said: "Xiaolang, that stinky monk chased and killed me for two months, traveled thousands of miles, and finally I caught the opportunity to cut off his head." ”

"Stinky monk?" Xu You's eyes showed a little coldness, and said, "Wise people? ”

"Yes, he said that his name is Zuo Xi, he is the seventh apprentice of Lingzhi, he seems to be thin, but he is really a little hard under his hands!" Fang Sinian coughed violently for a while, and said, "It's useless, his true qi is not pure enough to last, and he was dragged to death by me in the mountains!" ”

When Fang Sinian talked about her experience intermittently, Xu You knew how thrilling and magical this journey was. was first ordered by Yuan Guang himself, so as to break the four products, and was valued by Lingzhi, so he forcibly left it unsuccessfully, but was protected by Yuan Mulan and escaped from Pingcheng. Then Lingzhi sent an apprentice to capture it, fortunately Fang Sinian was witty enough, fighting and fleeing, she grew up in the mountain village since she was a child, proficient in hunting skills, and had the experience of mixing with the mountain sect, the trend of mountains and rivers and the ability to survive in the wild are much stronger than Zuoxi, so he deliberately led him into the mountain, and finally set a trap to trap him, and cut off his neck with a knife.

Zuoxi is the pinnacle of the four grades, and in terms of realm alone, he is on par with Xu You, but he is too comfortable to be a monk when he suffers, he is covered by spiritual wisdom, he has not been beaten hard by the society, and he has not lost his life.

After a few more days, waiting for Fang Sinian to recover, Xu You asked her in detail about her experience of fighting with Yuanguang, and she suddenly felt something at night, and officially entered the realm of three products. He has been wandering outside the Sanpin Mountain Gate for a long time, at the end of last year, Xuanji Academy opened, Yuan Qingqi saw him and said that there seemed to be signs of breaking the door, this time by the Yuan Guang stimulated, it was a matter of course.

However, Qingming has been trapped in Wupin for many years, he became a little grandmaster a year earlier than Xu You, and now that many years have passed, there has been no sign of a breakthrough, which makes him a little distressed, especially when he sees Fang Si coming from behind, although he will not be envious, but he also feels that it is time to work hard.

On March 16, everything was ready, An Xiulin went to the altar to pay homage to the generals, and issued "Conquering the Liang Country", bitterly Chen Yao Ji's nine major crimes of rebellion, and was willing to respond to the request of Yao Jin, the prince of Liang, to hang the people for the crime. Then with the general Xu You as the commander of the three armies, he supervised the military inside and outside the eight states such as Jing, Jiang, Liang, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yu and Yangzhou, and still served as the assassin of Xuzhou, commanding 250,000 elite soldiers and swearing to go west.

Since An Shiyue practiced Zuo, no one in the Chu State had ever reached such a terrible position, and An Xiulin's trust in Xu You may be beyond the imagination of too many people in the world.

Xu You then sent a letter in the name of the general to the new Yuzhou assassin Shi Mufan of Wei, saying that he wanted to borrow the waterway of the Yellow River to conquer Xiliang through Yuzhou and Luozhou to Tongguan.

Mu Fan had followed Yuanguang thousands of miles to attack Rouran, and the desperate plan to destroy Lu Hun Sea came from his plan, because of his military exploits had just been transferred to Yuzhou, and the position of the assassin was not yet hot, and he was shocked after receiving the letter, and immediately flew to report to Pingcheng, and strictly ordered all counties in Yuzhou to strictly guard and defend, and not to act recklessly before getting the order of Pingcheng.

On March 17, almost at the same time as Xu You's letter was sent, the middle road was dominated by Zuo Yan's 20,000 Cuiyu army and Shanzong's 20,000 Youdu army, a total of 40,000 people.

On the east road, Qi Xiao led 10,000 Cui Yu troops and Ye Min led 10,000 Chifeng troops out of Gaoping, took a boat through Juyeze into the Yellow River, and then went upstream, approaching the slipway, as the wing and follow-up support of the Zuo Yan army. Bu Tian led 20,000 Qingzhou troops out of Licheng, eyeing the Yellow River by force, and saw that the defenders of Jizhou and Jeju did not dare to join forces to copy the back road of Qi Xiao, and rescue Yuzhou.

The western route was led by Tan Xiaozu, Xue Xuanmo, and Tantai Douxing with 50,000 Jingzhou troops from Xiangyang to Nanyang and approached Yangcheng. Yao Jin led 10,000 Yu Duowei and Zhu Zhi to lead 10,000 sharp soldiers from Liangzhou out of Wuguan to contain the Liang army in the pass and create an opportunity for the middle to attack Tongguan. Zhu Rui rode out of the meridian road with a thousand white horses, went around to the back of Chang'an, and as a suspicious soldier, he used the mobility of the cavalry to intersperse in depth and detours, completely disturbing the rear of Xiliang.

On March 21, Xu Youqin led 100,000 Chinese troops from Pengcheng to take a boat along the Bianshui, out of Shimen, into the Yellow River, and the front of the troops pointed directly at Cangyuan.

The East Road, the Middle Road and the West Road went hand in hand, and on the front of more than 800 miles from Yangcheng in Luozhou to Liangcheng in Dongjun, 250,000 troops were set up, known as one million, and the world shook!
