Shield soldiers and spearmen form a solid spear and shield array on the periphery, and sword soldiers and archers form a long-range strike force.

After three or four rounds of deceleration and confusion, Hu Qi basically has no impact, if it weren't for the Xinghan Army's horse-drawn crossbow cart is not very flexible, I'm afraid that Xianbei Rider wouldn't dare to come forward! Now the main consideration is: how did the Xinghan army infantry face the condescending enemy? Wang Bo couldn't help but think of the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty was the era with the most victories against the nomads in history, so the means used to deal with the cavalry were also the most abundant in history, especially the Mo sword was most respected by later generations. Wang Bo combined the experience of his previous life to make two styles of Mo knives.

One is for infantry, named "Bumo knife", seven feet long, weighing thirty catties, consisting of a four-foot-long double-sided blade and a hardwood handle.

Wang Bo originally wanted to imitate the current saber and make the tip of the blade into a pointed blade type, but after trying it, he found that this design was not cost-effective, and after the tip of the knife pierced into the horse's body, it was too laborious to pull it out, and sometimes it was brought down by the horse moving forward, so it was made into a flat-top type. In battle, only the two tactical actions of "oblique slash" and "teasing" are used, which not only reduces the consumption of physical strength, but also improves the efficiency of killing the enemy.

The handle of the knife is three feet long, connected with the blade with a pin, made of dense wood from the deep mountains, the end of the handle is wrapped into a ring, and the handle is wound with hemp rope to facilitate grasping.

The other is the "Riding Mo Knife", which is dedicated to cavalry. The material is the same as the Bumo knife, the shape is different, the blade is reduced to three feet, the front end is made into a sharp blade, and the weight is reduced to more than ten catties.

All the Mo knives are made of fine iron collected at this stage, Wang Bo used the existing conditions, combined with some local methods in the previous life, to make a carbon tempering treatment for the Mo knife blade, after the trial production of a few out, the blade is cold and shining, waving and whining, which is daunting.

After the successful production of the Mo knife, Wang Bo added another powerful branch of the Xinghan infantry army, named "Mo Dao Battalion". Select the most powerful person in the Xinghan army to play. and equipped each Bumo knife hand with a pair of thickened fine iron armor, in the head, neck, chest and abdomen and other key parts, at the expense of repeated forging and refining, but also installed an anti-arrow mask, almost all the individuals were wrapped, only missing two eyes and hands and feet, then satisfied with the clapping of hands.

Several new weapons were made, and Wang Bo summoned Yang Feng, Chen Rong, Liao Hua and others to conduct actual combat drills, and the generals were very satisfied with their results and did not put forward better suggestions. Therefore, he ordered the war department to immediately select soldiers for drills, and the logistics department stepped up the production time, and it was necessary to build the required number within two months, and use it to train into an army as soon as possible, and everyone excitedly received the order.

A few days later, Chen Rong, who was full of bitterness, came to the door and told Wang Bo that the iron ingots of the logistics department were consumed too quickly, and with the existing supply, it was impossible to meet such a large-scale iron consumption, and at most only one-third of the amount ordered by Wang Bo could be made.

After hearing this, Wang Bo began to have a headache again: the potential of the caravan has been tapped to the extreme, and the output of his small iron ore can't go up, so he can't ask Ding Yuan for it, right? He is not rich in rectifying his own armaments, and he is cheeky enough to change a horse, which is also a drop in the bucket, and he can't solve a big problem! Besides, I just cheated someone last time, and I felt embarrassed.

What to do? After Wang Bosi thought about it, he had no clue, and finally Huang Long, who had been in Youzhou before, gave an idea: Yuyang County in Youzhou is rich in iron ore, but most of the iron tools that were produced in the past were half sold and half given to Hu Ren by Liu Yu, the assassin at that time, I don't know what the situation is now? Xinghan City can send someone to try it and see if it can be exchanged.

Well? Wang Bo became angry when he heard it! I don't have enough Han people, and I still sell them to Hu people? It turns out that Liu Yu's good reputation is how he got it? A typical traitor practice of "preferring to give outsiders to domestic slaves". No way! The master doesn't agree, this Yuyang's iron master is going to be decided!

The breeze and drizzle, inhaling the air full of fragrant spring tides, makes many people feel refreshed. The slightly dense clouds still can't block the bright sky behind them, and can only cover a layer on it, and the shadows that will be dispelled at some point, and the green buds of the trees on the side of the road, under the moisture of the continuous drizzle, look more and more energetic.

"Da Da Da Da", on the muddy official road in Zhending County, dozens of brisk horses ran around, and the group of people who were talking and laughing on horseback were Wang Bo and his party who went south from Yuyang County after the successful negotiation with wine and iron.

Wang Bo, who lacked iron to build a strong army, ignored the hard persuasion of Yang Feng and others, and insisted on going to Yuyang to meet the county guard, so as to completely solve the worries of the Xinghan army. Therefore, after all the arrangements in the army were made, he immediately led the wolf guards to the east with a large amount of Xinghan wine.

I thought that this trip to Yuyang would take a lot of trouble, but at the beginning, the old Yuyang Taishou really ignored Wang Bo's small county order, and he couldn't even enter the door. It wasn't until Wang Bo handed over the letter of recommendation from the Wang caravan in Bingzhou, tasted the wine of Xinghan, and especially after reading Gongsun Zhan's letter, that he was warmly received.

Under the many benefits offered by Wang Bo, he readily agreed to Wang Bo's request to exchange wine for iron, and although Wang Bo sneered at his request in the name of Hu Yiyan, he also happily reached an exchange agreement with him for the sake of safety. After greatly complimenting Yuyang Taishou, he left the logistics staff to negotiate and resigned.

I originally wanted to visit and thank Gongsun Zhan for helping him many times, but I learned that Gongsun Zhan had just reorganized the army from Liaodong and chased the Wuhuan people who had committed crimes, so Wang Bo had no choice but to give up. Thinking of Tian Feng and Zhao Yun, he came all the way to the north, and with the great merit of beheading Hu and the name of Xinghan County, no one coveted him along the way.

A few days later, Wang Bo, who had enjoyed the drizzle for several days, came to Zhao Yun's hometown, Zhending Zhaojiazhuang.

Near the Zhaojiazhuang near the mountains and rivers, there are many figures on the village wall more than three zhang high, the village door is not closed, but more than a dozen big men with various weapons at the door all watched Wang Bo and others ride horses with a wary face.

"Come, stop! What is the intention of reporting the name? A cold voice sounded on the village wall.

Xu Chu glanced at Wang Bo, took a few steps forward and said loudly: "We are here from Xinghan City, and the head of my family is Xinghan County, and I want to visit Zhao Jiazhuang Juncai Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong today!" I hope you will make it convenient! ”

"Oh? Originally the famous General Wang? Disrespectful, disrespectful! …… The virtuous brother of my family has gone to Liaodong to serve under the command of Gongsun Zhonglang, so as to teach General Wang to do this in vain! …… If General Wang has no other priorities, he will not leave a general! ”

Listening to the person on the wall intermittently speaking, Wang Bo couldn't help but frown and said: No! According to the time, Zhao Yun should not have joined the army at this time? Is it because I came to this world that Zhao Yun went to Gongsun Chan in advance? Another thought: No! The person who spoke was speechless, respectful at first, but so blunt in the end? Don't.......

Thinking of this, Wang Bo stepped forward and laughed, and shouted at the Zhuang wall: "The person on the wall is Zilong's virtuous brother? Isn't this the Zhao family's hospitality? Zilong didn't show up to see him, could it be that he was afraid that our comers would not be good? ”

"Humph! What's the point of seeing? As he spoke, a young man in white with clear eyebrows and a slender figure, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, opened the door in front of Zhuang Ding, and stopped in front of Wang Bo's dozens of steps, it was Zhao Yun who had a relationship with Wang Bo under the Jingcheng Pass.

After Zhao Yun looked at Wang Bo expressionlessly for a while, he saw that Wang Bo was just smiling and didn't mean to speak, so he asked lightly: "General Wang's battle against Hu Lu is powerful, and he doesn't take care of the displaced people in Wucheng, what is the matter with Zhaojiazhuang?" ”

"Oh...? Hehe... Brother Zilong! … We are here to visit Zilong! Could it be that Chengzi Long doesn't like it? Wang Bo said with a little embarrassment.

"Hehehe... General Wang is so embarrassed! Yun Xueyi is not proficient, dare to work as a general? Could it be that I Zhaojiazhuang will teach again? ”

"Hmm... What does Zilong mean by this? Why are you so prejudiced against me? I don't think I have anything to blame Zilong, ......? ”

"Hahaha..."After a burst of laughter mixed with a hint of indignation, Zhao Yun said with a straight face: "The general is laughing!" General Zilongmeng raised his noble hand last time, and he was also grateful in his heart, but he didn't conspire with each other! The general's intention is already clear, but it's a pity that Yun has no intention of going to the good city, please don't force people to make it difficult! ”

"This... Is it possible for Zilong to be trapped here forever, and not want to follow the example of Hou Yuema, the champion of the Han Dynasty, holding a gun and galloping outside the plug? Wang Bo said a little hurriedly.

Zhao Yun was distracted for a while, and then replied unhurriedly: "Fighting against Hu Lu is a major event of the Han Dynasty, and it is also an important task for the two states. And General Wang's masters are like clouds, there are not many people who add me, and there are many people who abandon me! The general's mind has been received, thank you for your love! With that, he turned around and left.

"Ignorant child! The second master of the Ru family Xu taught you how to behave! Xu Chu, who was already angry next to him, immediately scolded, but was stopped by Wang Bo, whose face was sinking like water, shaking his head.

Who knew that it was okay for Xu Chu not to speak, as soon as he spoke, Zhao Yun's face instantly turned red with shame, took a deep breath, looked at the Shenjun mount under Xu Chu, and said to Wang Bo with a sneer: "I don't know if there is an edict from the Son of Heaven from Wang County?" ”

Wang Bo shook his head suspiciously.

"Can the Wang County Order have a recruitment order to merge the state assassin history or the Zhending County Guard?"

Wang Bo was stunned for a moment, and shook his head again.

"Hahaha!" After a few sneers, Zhao Yun said sarcastically: "Without the official credentials of my great man, how can I make Yun go?" If I join the army, why don't I join the general of Gongsun Zhonglang in Liaoxi, why bother to seek the near and far? Thou and the others are just outlaw thieves, and there is no order from the Han to seal the ......."

"Shut up!" Without looking at the sound of weapons twitching behind him, Wang Bo, who was already annoyed, waved his hands back vigorously, and said word by word: "That's it! Wang is abrupt! The green mountains do not change the green water for a long time, and the day I meet you again, I hope it is not above the battle array! Leave! Wang Boluo clenched his fists, pulled the red-eyed people, and turned away.

Zhao Yun, who had a remorseful face, looked at Wang Bo and the others who left angrily, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, and then remembered the scene when Xu Chu snatched his gun and led his horse: That was left by the teacher for himself! Then he shook his head and turned his horse back to Zhaojiazhuang.

Wang Bo, who was in a depressed mood, after leaving Zhaojiazhuang, stopped by the official road that occasionally passed by, and looked at the gradually brightening sky fixedly.

After a while, Du Yuan couldn't help but walk in front of him and asked softly, "Lord!" Are we going to Ren County? ”

Wang Bo took a deep breath and said firmly: "Go!" Why not? After saying that, he turned his horse and continued to the north, shouting as he went, "What a way, not the same!" I don't believe it, without that butcher, I wouldn't be able to eat this hairy pig? This unsparing vernacular made everyone frown and smile bitterly for a while, and the dull atmosphere slowly returned to cheerfulness.

When he arrived in Ren County, he didn't know that Tian Feng had not returned from where he was depressed. Wang Bo laughed at the depressed everyone: Good things are grinding! Go on! The group drove to Yecheng, where Fu Zhu was located.

Although I also encountered a lot of mountain bandits and thieves with swords in their hands along the way, when I saw Wang Bo and dozens of other people, all fierce and vicious, and the armor was complete, I didn't dare to move forward, at most I looked at it from a distance for a while. Wang Bo was also protected by so many fierce people beside him, and he didn't worry about his safety at all, so he rushed to Yecheng with such a swagger.

Who knew that it was close to Yecheng, and when he arrived in Wu'an County, he really ran into an eye-opening one.

Wang Bo and the others were resting by the woods next to the official road, sighing at the blank looks on the faces of the people they met on the road, while using dry food. After Wang Bo and the others quickly got on the horse, they saw hundreds of big men holding swords, guns, swords and halberds, led by one person with his hands on his waist and shouting: "This mountain is my open, this tree is my carry!" Want to cross the road? Leave to buy road money! Wow haha......! A burst of laughter rang out.

Wang Bo and the others couldn't help laughing out loud with a "poof", looking at Huang Long with a shy smirk, they couldn't help but wonder: How can these two goods have the same virtue as Huang Long when he appeared? I don't pick anyone, I just catch it, I'm really impatient.

Huang Long, who was embarrassed, waved his hand impatiently with a calm face: "Wu Na thief!" We are here to Xinghan Army, and we will leave as soon as possible, otherwise a knife in a certain hand can cut off the head of a dog, and you can also cut off your head! ”

When Dahan heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "Xinghan Army? Originally a brother of the Xinghan Army? "I was about to run back, but I was stopped by the white-bearded man next to me. The white-bearded man asked with a puzzled expression: "You say that you are a Xinghan army, do you have a certificate?" If you coax us, you will be ruthless! ”

Wang Bo listened: What does this mean? Stopped everyone, took out the county order seal letter in his arms, and handed it to Huang Long, Huang Long turned around and whined, threw the seal letter at the white-bearded man, and shouted: "Look at yourself!" ”

The white-bearded man was not ambiguous, stretched out his hand to catch it without dragging the mud and water, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said: "We have never seen the official seal, do you have circumstantial evidence?" ”

Without waiting for Huang Long to speak, Xu Chu behind Wang Bo shook the reins of his horse, and shouted in a strange voice: "The big knife in a certain hand is the evidence!" After saying that, he was about to rush towards the bandits, and Zhou Cang and others behind him also showed their blades one after another, ready to fight.

The white-bearded man hurriedly shouted, "Brothers, slow down!" I heard that General Xinghan was on the side, and I often accompanied the tiger general Xu Zhongkang, I don't know ......? ”

"In front of you, it is Nai Weng Xu Chu Xu Zhongkang! A knife in a certain hand told Yuer! ”

"Oh? ......", Bai Huan looked at Xu Chu carefully, and when he saw that he was about to have a seizure again, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Offended, offended, the big water rushes to the temple, my own brother!" My own brother! Don't get your hands dirty! He turned around and stopped the others and said, "We have long wanted to join the Han army, but we never thought of meeting General Xu here?" Don't blame the faux pas! Uneasily, he asked Wang Bo, "Could it be that the general is ......?" ”

"Yes! I am Wang Bo! Wang Bo said with a slight smile.

After getting to know each other, Bai Huan and the person who was the leader just now both visited Wang Bo and called him the lord. Xu Chu, who was blindfolded, frowned and asked, "...... are you waiting for this?" ”
