Zang Min is indeed too guarded by Zhongshan, but Liu Tao is not his subordinate. Liu Tao belonged to the direct jurisdiction of Youzhou Assassin Shi, and at the same time received a military order to go south to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves, rather than 'obeying the orders of the Zhongshan County Guard'.

Besides, in these years, civil officials have not been able to shout and drink to the generals, and they are high.

Based on this factor, Zang Min couldn't rely on his official position, and forcibly asked Liu Tao to help him crusade. So he set up a banquet, and he could only use his personal name to ask Liu Tao for help.

Liu Tao and Lu Yan glanced at each other vaguely, and this result was already expected.

"Zang Taishou, we waited from Zhuo County to the south to Lunu County, the reason why we rested here is just to be able to get in touch with the front-line crusading army, and then continue to go south to support, the ultimate goal is naturally to eliminate the thief Zhang brothers who caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion......" Lu Yan said slowly, in this matter, he was responsible for singing blackface, even if there was no concept at that time.

Liu Tao, who sang white-faced in "Cangshan ......", saw that after Lu Yan finished speaking, Zang Ba's face showed a look of embarrassment, and he immediately came forward, "The front line has not yet replied, we are in Zhongshan County, we still need to stay for a while, why don't you help by the way?" ”

"Brother!" Lu Yan secretly glanced at Zang Min, although there was no clear change, but he could guess it, and he should be faintly relieved in his heart, "We don't have enough supplies, and there are only two thousand people." Wangdu County and Puyin County were taken by the way, and they had to fight, and they happened to be taken without attacking the city. As for the other counties, our ministry really doesn't have the ability to function directly! ”

"It's also ......" Liu Tao suddenly became 'embarrassed' and looked at Zang Min, "Zang Taishou, what my military advisor said is also reasonable, our army has only fought a few battles, and there is no record of attacking the city." If the enemy army goes out of the city to fight, it is fine, but if we stay in the city, we are helpless! ”

To put it bluntly, there are only 2,000 people, of which only 1,000 are soldiers, and the troops were formed no more than two months ago. Such troops, placed in many places, are not even counted as regular troops.

Moreover, the risk of attacking the city is also very high, and if you take one or two slashes on the ground, as long as it is not critical, you can use vitality regeneration or healing to save it. But you can climb the wall to fight this thing, and the whole person is smashed flat by a stone log, so how can you save it? Even if there is such a thing as 'resurrection', I don't know how much mana it will consume!

If you don't use it, then you can only fill it with human lives, and 2,000 people can't even surround a city tightly, how can you fill it? How to fight?

In this way, Liu Tao threw the problem to Zang Min and asked him to solve it. Of course, they didn't tell him that the Zhen family, the Zhang family and the Su family were willing to provide talents in this area, and the army would be expanded to 5,000 or something in the future...... These must not be said, since Zang Min wants to entrust himself to regain the lost territory, not only can he not work in vain, but he must also find a way to maximize his benefits!

"This, this official has already thought about it...... "Zang Min is an old man in the end, or the cooperation between the two is indeed a bit too blunt, but Liu Tao will bargain, he still expected it, I just hope that it will be so ugly to eat goodbye."

After a pause, he tried to put a price on it: "Lunu County has been besieged for more than a month, and most of the supplies have been put into defending the city...... However, there were craftsmen who were good at crafting siege equipment in the soldiers of Zhongshan County, and I could call the shots and allocate ten people to your army to create siege weapons for you! At the same time, if Liu Sima expands his army, I can directly pay for the armor and weapons of less than 3,000 people...... I can even give you a hundred pairs! ”

"Rhubarb?" Liu Tao was a little looking forward to it when he heard this.

"That thing is only available to the forbidden army...... Zang Min shook his head, "Besides, even if it is given to you, can it be used?" ”

Han crossbow from one stone to ten stones, of which ten stone crossbow is also called strong yellow crossbow, a stone crossbow to open 27-30 kg of strength. That is, the rhubarb crossbow theoretically requires about 250-300 kg of strength to pull. Therefore, in many materials, the soldiers who wind the rhubarb crossbow can only wind it by stepping on the crossbow with one foot and using their hands and feet.

Needless to say, it is powerful and can easily shoot four hundred meters and kill the opponent's cavalry. But basically, it's just one shot, and you want a second shot, unless you prepare three or four teams of big yellow crossbows, and then shoot them in line to kill. It's just that the overall number of rhubarb crossbows has not changed, and it's just a technique that is used intensively.

Liu Tao also probably understood this, and immediately shook his head when he heard this, there is really no one in his army who can open a ten-stone crossbow. Let's just say that a stone bow is also a selection of a hundred soldiers with the greatest strength, and they can only pull it apart by constantly boiling their strength.

"There are no big yellow crossbows, and there are two hundred pairs of two-stone crossbows!" Zang Min said this, but his words changed, "But it should be kept for defending the city, and the only thing that can be allocated at present is a stone crossbow." ”

That is, a one-stone crossbow with a range of 100 meters and an effective range of 75 meters. It may be troublesome to wind up, but in the case of good winding, even ordinary people, women and children can use it, and they can easily shoot generals wearing heavy armor.

It is a great man who can not ban bows and arrows, but crossbows are controlled products, and non-state armies are not allowed to use them. Whoever uses it in the people will be unlucky!

Not only the Han Dynasty, since the crossbow was invented, various dynasties have basically forbidden the manufacture and possession of crossbows by the people.

"It doesn't matter how many crossbows there are, the crossbow arrows are ......" Liu Tao still asked the point.

"I have recovered a lot on the battlefield one after another, and at the same time, I am also seizing the time to catch up with the system...... Rao is so, slightly insufficient...... "Zang Min was a little embarrassed, trapped for more than a month, and naturally consumed a lot of crossbow arrows.

"How much can be allocated to the last general?" Liu Tao was a little unhappy, this one was hesitant.

"Up to a thousand!" Zang Min thought about it, and finally gave this number, no matter how much, I really can't afford it, it's not good to give!

"Barely able to fight a few battles." Liu Tao sighed, three thousand armor weapons, plus one hundred crossbows, one thousand crossbow arrows, this is a deal...... I still feel like I'm a bit of a loss.

"No matter how much it is, Lu Nu can't take out ......" Zang Min shook his head, "After the war, I will play a tribute to Liu Sima!" ”

"We were ordered to go south to crusade against the Yellow Turban Thieves, and our own goal is the Yellow Turban Thieves headquarters in Julu County, not the local city that has fallen......" Liu Tao still looked embarrassed, "If the army is expanded to 5,000, not to mention the combat strength, this person will eat a lot of horses." If not, would you like to write a document that allows me to transfer some grain from the county town and the government treasury to subsidize the military? ”

"Brother, if you can't beat it down, you can still talk about it......" Lu Yan secretly pulled his clothes and persuaded him. The sound is a bit loud, yes, it was deliberately made so that Zang Min could hear it.

"Yes, I'll give you a copy of the paperwork, but I can only take half of it at most, okay?" Zang Min thinks about it, if you build the city, then everything is easy to say, but the degree needs to be controlled. Otherwise, the follow-up work will be a headache.

I can only hope that the imperial court can see that there is such a big mess in Jizhou and exempt it from paying taxes for a year...... Not to mention anything else, this year's spring ploughing, for the yellow turban thieves, was directly delayed.

"We are also the army of the imperial court, so naturally we don't want the local military and civilians to suffer too many losses. Let's just say that we have also taken some supplies in Wangdu County and Puyin County, but there are not many, and Taishou can investigate this. Liu Tao replied.

"I know, that's why I said that......" Zang Min nodded, Liu Tao really didn't go too far, "Then, to recover the whole county of Zhongshan County, please ask Liu Sima!" ”
