Chapter 37: The Black Eagle with an Iron Beak

Although it is only a small team of the Zhejia Army, the lineup of this squad is stronger than the 3,000 people that Zhe Kecun brought to square La.

The 3,000 men were almost entirely infantry, with very few horses. And these three hundred, one man and three horses, were also equipped with many carts.

Qin Mu's brows furrowed tightly.

He found that he still overestimated the transportation capacity of this era.

This robbery squad was equipped with 50 large cars, which was not a small number, but in those years there was no rubber, no rubber tires, and all wooden tires were bread and iron sheets. The load capacity of such a car cannot go up.

According to Qin Mu's estimate, this car will pull three or four hundred catties at most, and no matter how much it is, it will not be able to move.

Based on the weight of a cart weighing 350 catties, how much tobacco can be pulled?

The tobacco is very light to dry, about three catties can hold one stone, this car is fully loaded with more than 100 stones, even if it is a hundred, fifty cars are full, can only hold 5,000 stones, not to mention that it can not be fully loaded with tobacco, there are dry food for people and horses, tents, blades and other military equipment on the car.

There are only forty cars that can pull tobacco, and if they are full, they can come back with 4,000 stones, 12,000 catties - this is still a perfect situation.

The tobacco of a cigarette is basically 0.75 grams, 12,000 catties of tobacco, and in the most perfect case, 8 million cigarettes can be made without counting the loss.

It's 400,000 boxes, 40,000 pieces.

In later generations, the output of the tobacco industry was calculated in "boxes", and a box of cigarettes was different from the concept of "boxes" sold on the market, and the "boxes" of tobacco factories were 250.

40,000 cigarettes, that's 1,600 cases only.

In later generations, the tobacco factory produced several million cases per year.

Of course, the scale of my small factory can't be compared with others, but tobacco wins by quantity, and there is nothing in terms of output.

Dispatching so many people and putting down such a big formation is equivalent to grabbing back a maximum of 400 boxes of cigarettes, how many times can you grab them in a year?

It is necessary to engage in planting, relying on grabbing, or even buying.

Although Qin Mu had already set a plan to grow tobacco, he still thought that he could buy a certain amount of tobacco from the northwest at first, but now it seems that it is not a problem at all.

This robbery is better than nothing, so let's practice it for the factory.

Qin Mu never expected to break his family to rob. But in Fuzhou, he didn't count what he said, whatever the Zhe family said, they wanted to rob, and they could only follow.

It was too painful to ride a horse, and after riding for a while, Qin Mu changed to a big car.

Although the cart has no shock absorption facilities and is bumpy to death, it makes him dizzy at most, which is better than suffering from skin and flesh.

Jia Hongxian, like him, chose to take the car. She also couldn't stand the long horseback rides. But she is a native of the Great Song Dynasty, unlike Qin Mu from later generations, she adapts to the current vehicle, and she does not have any discomfort at all when sitting in the car.

Qin Mu really suffered this way, it is already December, the coldest time, the cart does not even have a shed, only the whistling north wind, he can't care about exposing it, open the luggage, take out the down jacket from the next generation, and wrap it tightly around his body.

Liang Zhi led his men and horses all the way to the northwest, walking about 30 kilometers a day, walking for two days, and finally arrived at a village.

The army of the 300 Folds was well-trained, with crossbowmen in the back and swordsmen in the front, surrounded the village from both directions, and then began to loot.

The Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Liao Kingdoms, such stories often play out on the borders of these three countries, and it is not unusual at all.

The people of various countries can only endure it, and when they encounter soldiers with better hearts, they can save their lives if they don't resist, and if they resist, they will definitely lose their lives.

The population of the Western Xia was small, and basically all the people were soldiers, and the adult males of every household were soldiers of the Western Xia, but when they were not organized, they were still farmers.

Surrounded by the heavily armed Zhejia army, almost no one dared to resist, except for two particularly bold ones, who were shot to death by the divine arm bow as soon as they made their moves, the rest of the people were honestly concentrated in the open space.

Liang Zhi only needs tobacco this time. He gave the order for the whole village to take the initiative to hand over the tobacco and put it on the cart. If you dare to hide tobacco in the village, you will find out and destroy the whole family.

Qin Mu felt that he had entered the village like a Japanese devil, which made him very uncomfortable, especially to the point of getting a dead man.

He couldn't bear to look any more, and turned and walked out of the village.

Jia Hongxian was by his side.

At this time, Zhe Meifeng walked over. This girl is simply different, Qin Mu has worked so hard, she still has nothing to do, and she is full of energy along the way.

"Young Master Qin, can you make a set of red-line sister's clothes for the slave, as much as you want."

Clothes are not difficult, they can be bought when they return to the next life, Qin Mu is not thinking about this at all now, he is concerned about safety.

I didn't expect the robbery of the Zhejia army to go so far, and I thought that I would start robbing it when I left Fuzhou.

"Fold the lady, the clothes are not clothes, it's not a problem, I'm a little worried, will we encounter danger on the way back."

This year, I don't care about the distance, I look at the time.

Now that it is two days away from Fuzhou, and it is deep into the territory of Western Xia, are you not afraid of encountering the army of Western Xia?

There were only three hundred of them.

"Young Master Qin, don't worry, it's just a small matter." Zhe Meifeng said that it was as easy as going out shopping: "Most of the armies of Western Xia are in Xingqing Mansion, far away, a small number of them are scattered in various places, and they will not gather together." When they got the news, we all went back to Fuzhou. ”

In this way, Qin Mu understood.

At this time, the communication ability was too poor, even if the local officials of Western Xia were reported and then organized the army, their own gang would have run away long ago.

In the same way, it is also suitable for the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Western Xia army went to Fuzhou to rob, and when the Zhejia family knew the news, they would send troops to pursue, it would be eight lives late.

No matter where the people of that country are robbed, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

Even if these three hundred of them are the most elite troops on this ground, they will not encounter the enemy's brigade at all, so they are basically in no danger.

It's no wonder that Zhe Ke is worried that his sister will follow, so he should be distracted.

One village after another, more and more tobacco was on the cart, and after two days, it was finally filled with more than 30 carts, and Liang Zhi was very satisfied.

This time they were lucky, they didn't meet half of the soldiers and horses of Western Xia, and they were all in the city, so they easily turned around, and it was estimated that they would be able to fill all the carts in another day and return to the city.

A village appeared in front of him, Liang Zhi gave an order as usual, and was about to start the robbery step by step, but he heard Zhi Meifeng shouting: "It's not good, it's an iron-mouthed black eagle." ”

Liang Zhi immediately stopped the troops, and looked at the sky along Zhe Meifeng's hand, and sure enough, there was a huge black strange bird, hovering not far ahead.

Zhejiajun immediately became nervous.

"Array, armor."

This is the first time Qin Mu has seen the Zhejia army put on armor - robbing villagers does not need to wear armor.

The Folded Family Army could see that it was well-trained, and in a short period of time, everyone became an iron tower.

From head to toe, dozens of catties of iron pieces were worn on the body, which was the famous Buren armor of the Song Dynasty.

"What's wrong? Enemies? Qin Mu asked Zhe Meifeng. He knows that things are going to be bad, and there is no smooth sailing for himself.

"You may have met the Western Xia Iron Harrier." Zhi Meifeng also lost her former ease, and quickly changed into her armor: "Young Master Qin, you and Sister Hongxian should hide behind." ”

The Western Xia Iron Harrier, the heavy cavalry of the Western Xia, is famous in this time and space.

Qin Mu worked hard to study the history of the Song Dynasty and knew how powerful the iron harrier was. But didn't Zhe Meifeng say that she couldn't meet the Western Xia army, why was she so coincidental that she was met by herself?

Could it be that you were born with bad luck? In the Great Song Dynasty, as long as he acted alone, it didn't go well, otherwise it would have been Ding's plan every time.

This time he didn't make his own decisions, he didn't even have a plan.

In the wilderness of Western Xia, he couldn't run away if he wanted to—he definitely couldn't outrun other people's horses.

It's really damning.

Zhe Meifeng came to his side and kept explaining to him: "Young Master Qin, you see that black bird in the sky was raised by the iron harrier of Western Xia, called the iron-billed black eagle. In the past, the Iron Harrier often relied on it to find enemies. ”

Qin Mu almost couldn't believe his ears. God, there are even animal scouts on this plane!

It's incredible, too.

"Knock it down." Qin Mu understood very well the importance of information on the battlefield.

There is such a bird in the sky, which is equivalent to playing a game, how can you bear it!

"It's too high to shoot." Zhi Meifeng looked at Qin Mu with a smile and a smile, you are too uncommon sense, that eagle flies so high, even the divine arm bow is very far behind, what to fight?

"Let your red-line sister come." At this time, Qin Mu didn't dare to hide his secrets. It's a matter of life, so use it as soon as you can.

Jia Hongxian didn't wait for Qin Mu's orders, and had already opened his luggage and took out *** to start assembling.

Whether it is a man or a bird, the current situation must be prepared with weapons.

The bullet was loaded, and Jia Hongxian steadied his breathing. This shot was different, not on the ground, but on the sky.

However, the technology from later generations is enough to support Jia Hongxian to complete the mission. With the assistance of a laser rangefinder and a ballistic computer, Jia Hongxian quickly captured the target through an eight-fold scope.

She is indeed too talented in this regard, and Qin Mu can't use the scope to lock on to a flying thing in the sky, but Jia Hongxian seems to be able to sense the next flight direction of the blackbird, and can firmly use the scope to trap the target.

Breathe steadily, fire!

Jia Hongxian decisively pulled the trigger.

A gunshot rang out, and the black eagle exploded in the air, turning into a pile of minced meat and spilling its feathers from mid-air.

Zhi Meifeng stared at a pair of big eyes, looking directly at the *** in Jia Honghong's hand, her mouth grew up, she wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, she was a little scared stupid.

Yes, she was taken aback.

Jia Hongxian took out such a long iron rod, which made her very curious. She knew that Jia Hongxian had a lot of treasures on her, and she wanted to ask what this stick was used for—obviously it wasn't made up.

She watched Jia Hongxian put one end of the iron rod on her shoulder and the other end pointed to the sky, and she didn't know what it was for, but the stick suddenly made a loud noise, and she was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground.

It was too sudden, completely unprepared.

Then she saw that the black eagle was shattered.

This......

What kind of weapon is it?

Could it be that Young Master Qin did it too?

Zhe Meifeng's impression of Qin Mu at this moment has undergone a earth-shaking change.

No matter how beautiful Jia Honghong's clothes are, how delicate the cosmetics are, and how easy the cigarettes are, they are just gadgets. No matter how capable Qin Mu is, it is also the ability of the market.

She has been based in Fuzhou for nearly a hundred years, relying not on rouge gouache and beautiful clothes, but on sharp knives and sharp bows and crossbows.

So she just envied the woman's appearance on Jia Honghong's body, and for Qin Mu, she thought that she was a tailor and a good craftsman.

But today's shot completely woke up Zhe Meifeng.

This stick is simply amazing. The iron-mouthed black eagle that even the god arm bow couldn't reach, Sister Red Line easily killed it.

If this is a hit, what kind of person can stop it? Even the foot armor can't stop it. If this thing was also made by Qin Mu, then ......

Jia Hongxian stood behind the Zhe family army, only Zhi Meifeng saw this operation, and even Liang Zhi didn't know what was going on.

He only knew that when he saw the iron-beaked black eagle, the iron harrier was not far away, so he quickly let his subordinates line up.

There is no danger in robbing villagers, but it is very troublesome to encounter iron harriers.

The Iron Harriers are in a team of 300 people, and they are heavily armored all over their bodies, even the horses are heavily armoured, and they are connected to each other by iron cables when they charge, and even if the rider dies, they will not fall, and they still charge as a unit.

Therefore, the Iron Harrier has always been the most powerful cavalry in Western Xia.

Although his three hundred men are also cavalry, they are not the heavy cavalry in the Zhejia army, and if they charge head-to-head, they are not the opponent of the Iron Harrier at all.

Now there is only a defensive formation, hold the position first, and see the situation.

Why did he meet the Xixia Iron Harrier at this time, it really made Liang Zhi wonder.

The Iron Harrier is the treasure of Western Xia, and he will not be dispatched when he is idle, and only when he is in a real war, he will see the figure of the Iron Harrier.

Now that there is no war between the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, why did the Iron Harrier run out?

Even if Xixia went to rob the Great Song Dynasty, he also sent light horsemen like himself, and he would not dispatch iron harriers.

The Iron Harrier's equipment is already very heavy, how to take away the things he snatched!

Liang Zhi couldn't think of the reason, but he didn't have time to think about it now, the top priority was to line up to meet the enemy.

As soon as the Folding Army was in formation, they heard a loud noise from behind, and then the blackbird turned into minced meat in midair.

Liang Zhi was also scared, what's wrong?

He turned his head to look, but saw Jia Hongxian holding an iron rod, facing straight ahead.
