The original city defense device in Juyongguan is nothing more than a bed crossbow, a knife cart, a slap rod, and a set of rolling wood and stone oil.

It belongs to the standard equipment for defending the city, and it is useless, and generally speaking, in the face of the siege of the grassland tribes, it is almost the same to have these things.

There is not even too much need for tactics of war, as long as no one harms the public and private interests, to ensure the maintenance quality of the equipment defending the city.

In the case of the disparity in strength is not exaggerated, there is no problem in defending a fortress.

The main challenge of the border county was to find out where the large forces of the Huns were, and to defend them accordingly at the right time.

Once the decision is made, it is no longer possible to be swayed by the constant movement of the Huns, and constantly mobilize troops to plunge oneself into a movement war.

However, it is clear that this is not the case this time around.

The difference in strength between the two sides was so great that the vanguard alone was already more than twice as large as the defenders.

According to common sense, if the vanguard army of the Huns had 20,000.

Then the army of the headquarters will be at least more than 100,000!

A small Juyong Pass can block it for a while, but it can't stop it for a lifetime!

Generally, when encountering such a situation, the guards will adopt the method of locking the pass, cutting off all their own retreats.

Then fight to the death to the last man, to give the people and the army in the rear time to move.

If it weren't for Huo Qubing and Li Guang coming to the aid this time, Chen You, the right lieutenant, would have gathered all the soldiers together by now and announced the mobilization for the death battle!

Of course, even if there are 10,000 reinforcements, in the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops that the Huns may have, it seems that there is no other way but to fight to the death.

In fact, Chen You and Lu Fang have no hope of survival.

Even Captain Hu Qi Li Guang also had the will to die!

However, at this time, there are two major variables that have not been seen in history.

one, called Huo Qu's disease; The other one, called Donkey!

And now is the time for one of those variables to play its unexpected role.

Tang Qi used 500,000 system funds as a price in exchange for 10,000 Ma Jun's improved version of Zhuge Repeater, as well as crossbows that could be used for more than a month!

And because there is no quality inspection problem in the system, each one is produced according to the theoretical upper limit of the quality of the improved Zhuge repeater.

Whether it is range, accuracy, and power, it is not comparable to the "Western Han Dynasty version of the crossbow" made by the Inner Government!

What's more, the drawings of the standard Zhuge repeater given by Tang Qi were too heavy, and they were only suitable for defending the city or fighting in large armies, and they did not have enough flexibility for maneuver.

And the current improved version of the Zhuge Repeater has not only greatly increased its power and accuracy, but also reduced to the extent that it is enough for individual soldiers!

"How?" Tang Qi threw the repeater into Huo Quai's arms, "It's a good thing, right?!" ”

According to Tang Qi's command, Huo Quzhi personally experienced the operation method and power of the lower crossbow.

Then his eyes lit up: "Brother Tang, why didn't you take out this thing earlier!" ”

Li Guang even came directly to Tang Qi's side, and he didn't dare to hug his shoulder because of his identity and status, so he had to smile and say: "Da Nong Ling, the son of the last general also followed you from Chang'an to Shanggu, and he was not familiar with it, right?" Look at these 10,000 repeaters......"

Huo Quzhi was anxious at that time: "No, we have to follow our Yulin Army first!" ”

In the Han Dynasty, the classes of troops were not so clear, especially the use of crossbows instead of bows and arrows, which made it possible to convert melee and ranged units into each other.

Crossbowmen are often armed with ***, and after shooting crossbow arrows, they can turn into infantry to participate in battle.

Chop the cavalry up, chop the horse's legs down!

The foot soldiers are often also equipped with light crossbows, and in case of the enemy, they will come first with a round of crossbow arrows!

The cavalry is even less particular, on the horse to ride and dismount on foot, everyone is equipped with **, leverage.

Although the improved version of Zhuge Lian's crossbow is not yet light enough to fight immediately, as long as it is a good thing, it is always right to equip your own sons and daughters first!

Chen You, the right lieutenant of Shanggu, reacted a little slower, and was a little confused.

Now that the craftsmen of the Inner Mansion are already so good, shouldn't the newly developed weapons be installed in the border counties?

Why is there such an awesome repeater, but he has never heard of it?

And that farrier!

For a while, Chen You had a sense of disparity between the border army and his mother.

However, he couldn't react, it didn't mean that Tang Qi couldn't react either, and directly hammered the two "Central Army" generals on the left and the right!

"You two take it easy, as for you?" Tang Qi was helpless, "Go to the sick, your 500 cavalry will be useful for crossbows, and you don't want to go deep into the attack alone!" ”

"Captain Li, don't think I don't know, before you pulled out, you drove all the crossbows out of the inner government away, and you're still licking your face here to ask me for weapons, don't you shudder?"

The two of them laughed, but they didn't look embarrassed at all.

However, Chen You reacted, but he didn't go on his own, but called a personal soldier and ordered: "Quickly, report the situation here to Taishou to know!" ”

Then he flattered Tang Qi and arched his hand: "Da Nong Order, there are not many generals, my Juyong Pass garrison has 5,000 crossbowmen, but they still use arm crossbows and pedal crossbows......"

But as soon as you open your mouth, you need half of it!

Tang Qi couldn't laugh or cry.

Sure enough, no matter what era it is, those who lead soldiers are not polite when they want to take up weapons!

"You don't have to look for Lu Taishou, this official will assign it to you here!" Tang Qi was honestly unpolite, "But let's talk about it first, I can't decide the ownership of these crossbows, so I can only lend them to you first." Whoever wants it, go to His Majesty to fight a lawsuit! ”

This kind of thing that is destined to offend one party, Tang Qi will not do it in a hurry.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the three leading soldiers calmed down a little, and each of them was thinking about asking for something with their allies in the court.

"Since the generals in Guanzhong are all under the command of Captain Li, the northern army and the border army will be half on one side!" Tang Qi said, "Let your subordinates come over and get the crossbow, and you are not allowed to fight, you know?" ”

Under the coercion of the dignified Jiuqing, although Li Guang and Chen You wanted to be alone, they didn't say anything in the end.

Only Huo Quai's boss was unhappy: "Brother Tang, are you favoring one over the other?" My 500 sons are all your personal guards! ”

"Just kidding, how can I do you badly?" Tang Qi smiled mysteriously, "Let's not talk about the shoes for you first, take the sons and daughters, and follow me to the armory in the back city!" ”

As a military fortress, Juyong Pass will definitely not have only one armory.

What Tang Qi is talking about is a small armory located between Juyong Pass and Nankou, which is used for transit.

Huo Qubing did what Tang Qi said, and gathered five hundred cavalry to go there together.

Anyway, now the crossbow has been issued, the offensive and defensive battles in the city are commanded by Li Guang and Chen You, and Lu Fang is responsible for the security in the city.

For a while, the two of them really didn't have much to do.
