Ming Ho only reacted now, it turned out that being a soldier and fighting was a sideline of Xu Deshan who was idle and having nothing to do, and whimsical ideas to make things were people's main business, and now the army is almost all wearing equipment that has been transformed by Xu Deshan, don't look at the appearance is almost the same, but the effect is stronger than a hand, it can be called the master of modern Luban, and it is naturally an excellent thing to be able to call him a baby.

Ming Ho immediately put down the things in his hand and followed Xu Deshan out, Xu Deshan pulled Ming Ho, walked out of the camp and walked directly to Beizhou City, and finally walked to the dirt mountain built at the south gate of Beizhou City.

This earthen mountain was built outside the range of the archers on the tower of the castle of Beishu, and as the height became higher and higher, the position also advanced a little, but it was always at a safe distance, and the bows and arrows of the rebels could not shoot them, nor could the bows and arrows of the daimyo's army shoot them.

Of course, theoretically, the height of the earth mountain can be increased infinitely, but the city of Beizhou is already very tall, it is not easy for the mountain to be piled up to level with the city of Beizhou, and if you want to build it again, the difficulty will increase exponentially, considering the cost and effect, the accumulation of the mountain will end here, but this is enough, standing on the mountain, you can already see the details of the city wall of Beizhou, and if you build a shelf, you can see all kinds of things in the city of Beizhou.

Xu Deshan and Ming Ho stood on top of the earth mountain, looking at the rebels on the city wall.

The commander traveled, or came to the front line in person, and naturally followed by many personal guards to protect the safety, and the rebels of Nabeizhou City saw that there were more people on the mountain from a distance, and they were immediately nervous, for fear that the Daimyo's army would begin to attack the city, so they hurriedly reported it, and prepared to defend with a bow and arrows.

Xu Deshan and Ming Ho came to the top of the mountain, first looked at the situation in Beizhou City, and then Xu Deshan glanced at the distance from here to Beizhou City, and in full view of everyone, took the burden held by Zhou Di and opened it, revealing the scattered parts inside.

The people present are all experienced, and at a glance they know that these parts are used to assemble bows and arrows, but these people look at them, but they are confused, that ordinary bows and arrows can be assembled as long as they are handled and stringed, but Xu Deshan's pile of things, bits and pieces, is like a grocery store.

Someone asked, "Xu Langjun, are you going to assemble a bow?" ”

Xu Deshan gave him a satisfied and encouraging look. But the man asked, "But what is the point of a bow and arrow being so simple and simple, and so complicated, expensive and not easy to use?" ”

Xu Deshan glanced at the person and asked, "This adult, dare to ask, do you know what the difference between humans and animals is?" ”

The man thought about it and shook his head.

Xu Deshan said, "You see that people are not as fast as horses, not as strong as bears, and cannot fly like eagles, but people control the world, because the biggest difference between humans and animals is that they can make tools, and the better the tools made, the better people are than animals. ”

After Xu Deshan finished speaking, he sat cross-legged in front of the parts, picked up the bow body, and installed each part on the bow body like magic, and after a moment of effort, a strangely shaped bow appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was still puzzled, not only what was the effect of so many extra bits and pieces on this bow, but Xu Deshan didn't let them have any doubts, he handed the bow to Zhou Di behind him, and asked the soldiers next to him to bring a long arrow, pointed to the opposite city wall, and asked Zhou Di to aim at the rebels and shoot arrows.

At this time, the city wall was already full of rebels, and there was no need to aim

Although Zhou Di doesn't often use bows and arrows, it's still okay to make two strokes, and at this distance in front of him, even if the strong men in the army use the heaviest bow, I'm afraid it will be difficult to shoot to the opposite city wall, and even if they do, the arrows have already lost their power and accuracy, and they can't make a threat, so it doesn't matter whether they are accurate or not, even if they miss, everyone laughs.

Thinking like this, Zhou Di stretched out his hand to pull the bow, Zhou Di was originally born in the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts of the Jianghu people pay attention to lightness and dexterity, so Zhou Di's strength is not big in the army, think about the bow that Xu Deshan took out with such a great amount of strength, it is naturally a peerless good bow, since it is a good bow, then the strength required is also great, so Zhou Di used all his strength to pull the bowstring, and even prepared to be laughed at if he couldn't pull the bow, and even thought about it if he could not pull the bow.

But I didn't expect that this bowstring was easily pulled apart, according to Zhou Di's feeling, the strength of this bow is only similar to the soft bow in the barracks at most, and the soft bow is the bow and arrow with the closest range that ordinary sergeants can control.

Thinking so, Zhou Di pulled the bowstring full, faced the city wall of Beizhou, casually found a rebel as a target, adjusted the angle, and then let go of the arrow, thinking that the arrow would fall before it was halfway away, but the arrow flew out at a speed that he couldn't imagine, and went farther and farther on the expected track, thundering, it really shot on the opposite city wall, and the rebels on the opposite side hurriedly dodged, and the arrow was undiminished, nailed to the wooden board behind the rebels, the tail feathers trembled, and the arrow entered the wood for three points.

What is shock, this is called shock, when this bow was shot out, not only the rebels in Beizhou City were so frightened that they hid in Tibet, but even the generals of the Daimyo Mansion Army almost didn't fall off their eyes.

What men like the most, of course, is the weapon, and the stronger, bigger and longer weapon is the most popular, and the bow and arrow in Xu Deshan's hand is simply a magic weapon, if anyone can have such a piece, it is enough to make him laugh and proud of the military camp.

Ming Ho saw this bow, and suddenly remembered, isn't this the compound bow that Xu Deshan said, originally Ming Ho thought that Xu Deshan was bragging, but he didn't expect Xu Deshan to really make him, Ming Ho seemed to remember something, and asked, "Xu Deshan, such a bow and arrow...... Could it be that there are no people in the barracks? ”

Before Xu Deshan could speak, the general next to him was taken aback again, and said, "Could it be that there are many such peerless divine bows?" ”

Xu Deshan shook his head and said, "Not a lot." ”

The general breathed a sigh of relief at this time, thinking that this is not the same, such a magical bow and arrow, only worthy of the wise and martial generals, how can it be popularized in the whole army, this is too subversive of their common sense.

Xu Deshan continued, "The reason why there are not many is because Master Jia is too picky, and the silver given is limited, such a compound bow, even if it is a cost, why not ten ...... Fifty taels of silver, so this time, there are only a hundred, everyone use one first, if the effect is good, then ask Lord Jia to get the money. ”

Fifty taels of silver! Fifty taels of silver! can create a bow and arrow that is beyond everyone's knowledge, this ...... Xu Deshan is simply destroying the market, such a bow and arrow with a super long range and extraordinary power, how can you casually not want a thousand taels of silver, and it is also a priceless kind in the market.

The generals and officials suddenly became noisy, struggling to grab the bow and arrow in Xu Deshan's hand, and shot two arrows with the rebels in Beizhou City as a target, using all their might, you fight for me, so lively, suddenly a general reacted, grabbed Xu Deshan and asked, "You said that there are bows and arrows like this...... A hundred? ”

Xu Deshan nodded, and the general said quietly, "Then Xu Langjun, I have ten taels of silver here, can you give me fifty of the hundred, and ask my soldiers to practice their hands." ”

As soon as the general finished speaking, someone next to him heard it, and he thought about it, why are so many people fighting for this bow, Xu Deshan still has a hundred of them, just divide them, don't you have a few. At this moment, everyone shifted their attention from the bow and arrow to Xu Deshan, and came to Xu Deshan's side one by one.

The appointment and dismissal of this official naturally can't all depend on whether it can be said, and it is still necessary to leave some people who can do practical things, so in this group of people around Xu Deshan, there are those who can speak well, take advantage of the cheap and sell well, and there are those who are silent and don't know how to speak, but when the official reaches this level, he can't speak, so he naturally has his way of doing things, and suddenly a person said, "Xu Langjun, I am willing to pay a hundred taels of silver and ask for ten compound bows." ”

Xu Deshan is a pawn who admits money and does not recognize people, and he was noisy by everyone before, but now when he heard that there was money, he immediately became energetic, and pointed to the general and said, "Okay, take the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other." ”

At this moment, the officials are boiling, it turns out that there is still a silver thing here, if you don't say it earlier, if you say it earlier, wouldn't it be simple, isn't it just a hundred taels of silver, in the huge military camp, where to squeeze out a hundred taels of silver, in exchange for ten divine bows, it is worth it from any point of view.

However, everyone seems to ignore one point, that is, in the market, there is a relationship between items and prices, the more items, the lower the price, the fewer items, the higher the price, at the beginning ten compound bows are one hundred taels of silver, but later, there are so many people who want them, but there are only so many compound bows, seeing the price rising and turning, if it weren't for Ming Ho's presence, he reacted and stopped Xu Deshan's behavior of raising prices in time, otherwise the military expenses that he worked so hard to come would have gone into Xu Deshan's pocket.

The so-called bow and arrow, of course, must become a formation to reflect the power, so Xu Deshan spent a day of effort, handed over to these generals to assemble the bow, and the next day, a hundred archers carefully selected by each battalion gathered on the top of the mountain, the formation was neat, facing Beizhou City.

Looking at the city of Nabeizhou again, the rebels saw the compound bow from a distance, and the rebels who had already sensed the power of the compound bow were scared enough, hiding in Tibet, and the Daimyo's army gave an order, the soldiers adjusted the angle, aimed at the city wall, and threw their hands together, and a hundred feather arrows broke through the air, most of them could shoot on the city wall, and the power was not reduced, and the few were a little weaker, but they were also within the acceptable range.

The first batch of compound bows can be cast and assembled with such a quality is already very good, and those generals are so frightened that the rebels dare not show their heads when they see just a row of arrows, and they are even more excited, Xu Deshan also nodded with satisfaction, turned his head to look at the soldiers again, but saw that some generals had already ordered the soldiers to collect troops and return to the camp, Xu Deshan hurriedly stopped these people.

Xu Deshan was a little strange and asked, "Why are you going?" ”

The general said, "Since I have already tried the power of the bow and arrow, I naturally want to take it back and take it out when I use it." ”

Xu Deshan shook his head and said, "It's only been used once, what is the maintenance, and now is the time to use the bow, come and come, bring all our arrows over, and you are here on the city wall."

Shoot, I don't say stop, none of you are allowed to stop. ”

The general was dumbfounded all of a sudden, there was no rebel defense on the wall of Beizhou, what kind of shot did he shoot, wasting arrows in vain, this was not a fool.

Everyone looked at Xu Deshan suspiciously, Xu Deshan thought about it and felt that it was a little bad to be such a wasteful waste, so he turned around and found Ming Ho, and said to Ming Ho, "Lord Ming, if we have a chance, should we organize a siege of the city?" ”

Myeongho said strangely, "Siege? It's kind of unnecessary, but didn't you say ...... before?"

Xu Deshan said, "But if you don't attack the city, I ...... How can you quickly capture the city of Beizhou? ”

Ming Ho said, "Don't you already have a plan, as long as it takes a few days, you can be done, not to mention that you are still spending a lot of time at this time." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Lord Ming, what you said is not right, although I have a strategy, but when the time comes, I still need people to attract the enemy's attention in the front, you don't let the soldiers attack a few times now, familiarize yourself with the situation, and suddenly attack the city at that time, I am afraid that there will be heavy casualties, and the gains outweigh the losses." ”

Ming Ho was still hesitating and couldn't make up his mind, Xu Deshan thought about it and asked, "Lord Ming, just say, do you want to take advantage of this counterinsurgency." ”

Myeongho nodded and said, "I naturally want to." ”

Xu Deshan said, "Then you have to hurry, I guess it, the court sees that the rebels are strong, and they should already be thinking about the candidates for counterinsurgency, if you wait for people to come, no matter how hard you try, but as long as they say a word, the credit will also be people's." ”

Myeongho suddenly became nervous: "Then when do you think I should take Beizhou City?" In order not to let others rob me of my credit? ”

Xu Deshan said, "From the rebellion to the present, it will not take more than a month to take Beizhou City, and if you do the math, there are only ten days left." ”

There was no date as a target before, and Myeongho still felt that the days were slow, but suddenly he heard that there were only ten days left for him to break Beizhou City, and Myeongho suddenly became nervous.

Ming Ho's heart now, in fact, is similar to the king, if Ming Ho really has no ability, why not rebel army, who will put down the rebellion, but you talk about how much heart Ming Ho has done since the beginning of the rebellion, how much effort, how much risk he has taken, how much anger he has suffered, and now he has finally surrounded the rebels in the city of Beizhou, and the rebellion is imminent.

So, Ming Ho was moved by Xu Deshan, at noon that day, he gathered all the generals of the whole army, the company army with the people, and held the first siege combat meeting, at the meeting, Ming Ho made clear the theme of this meeting, that is, in the next five days, each day is divided into two stages in the morning and afternoon, a total of ten batches, the whole army, all staff participated, simulated the exercise of capturing Beizhou City, said to be a drill but can only say that there is no need to attack, but all arms, The cooperation between various instruments must be fought to prepare for the real attack on Beizhou City in the future.

After clarifying the central idea, Ming Hao sat down, and the rest of the things were to be handed over to Wei Huang, who was purely concerned about the siege, in fact, there were only a few methods, but now that the army has a super long-distance compound bow and a piled up earth mountain, the attack method will naturally change accordingly, Wei Huang discussed with everyone for a long time, and finally set a siege plan.

There is always some distance between theory and practice, don't look at what Wei Huang and others say, but when it comes to the battlefield, how can a team of tens of thousands of people be like an arm as they say, all kinds of problems continue to emerge, and this is the purpose of acting, those generals find problems, solve problems, increase the troops' experience in siege and actual combat, and prepare for a big battle in a few days.

As for Xu Deshan, he also achieved his goal, Xu Deshan has been staying on the dirt mountain for the past few days, guarding next to the hundred soldiers holding compound bows, checking the use of compound bows, including wear, strength, durability, etc., recording them one by one, waiting for future improvements.

At this time, the rebels in Beizhou City were a little depressed, at first they were depressed, because the Daimyofu army outside the city finally launched a siege operation, and the momentum was huge, the rebels hurriedly reported to Wang Zebuji Zhangluan, and then mobilized the whole city to defend.

But after a few days, the rebels found that these daimyo's army seemed to have their brains in water, and they gathered a large number of men and horses under the city every day, what catapults, shield carts all went into battle, and the bow and arrow with a terrifying range, all kinds of means smashed at themselves like money, but seeing that at a critical juncture, the daimyo's army suddenly withdrew, and in the afternoon or a day, such a scene would be repeated again.

At this time, it was impossible for the king not to come forward, and the king hurriedly gathered the ministers to analyze the purpose of the Daimyo's army to do so now, and the ministers discussed for a long time and came to a conclusion, that is, the Daimyo's army wanted to make the defenders paralyzed and careless through daily temptation, and when the time was ripe, they suddenly attacked and seized the Daimyo's Mansion.

People are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads, since the rebels are trapped in the city of Beizhou, that is, no matter what move the Song army makes, the rebels will continue to make a move, and if they miss a move, the consequence is that the city of Beizhou is broken, ashes and ashes, and there is no place to bury.
