Chapter 54: Shadow Tiger Army

Han Xuan said to Huang Ergou: "Ergou, you are not unfamiliar with the carpenter's craft, right?" ”

Huang Ergou bowed and said: "If you go back to the adult, the craftsmanship of craftsmen is familiar with the heart, and the mind is skillful. The villain often makes some objects by himself in the cottage, and the adults have taught the villain to make chairs, and the villain has also made a lot. ”

Han Xuan asked happily, "Do you know how to make that crossbow?" ”

Huang Ergou shook his head: "Crossbows are only available in the official army, and villains have never seen them." If the adult has a drawing, he can hand it over to the villain, and the villain can try to make it. ”

Of course, Han Xuan first thought of the famous Qin crossbow, which was equipped with the Qin army on a large scale at that time, mainly used for shooting between the two armies. The Han crossbow was developed from the Qin crossbow, and the range increased, and the force required for the crossbow also increased, so in the Han army, only the general level could be equipped. Han Xuan had seen the crossbows of Qin Jie and others when he was crusading against the Yellow Turbans, the crossbows were wide and the arrows were slow, but the crossbows that Han Xuan needed to equip to form special forces were mainly responsible for medium and short-range sniping, and the requirements for range were not high and the hit rate was more important.

Han Xuan's ideal crossbow not only has the continuous firing function of a Qin crossbow, but is also small and easy to carry. He and Huang Ergou discussed for a long time, and finally Han Xuan combined the advantages of modern crossbows and referred to the production materials of Qin crossbows to draw a drawing of crossbows, and asked Huang Ergou to study them first.

After the soldiers were put in order, Han Xuan left a few hundred people to guard Yamen Village, and took the officials and soldiers borrowed from various counties and Xiangyong to destroy several small cottages around them, and distributed a part of the money and grain to them, so that they could go back to pay errands.

Han Xuan returned to Luo County with a large number of officers and soldiers, and the people all ran out happily to greet them, shouting one after another: "Captain Han is mighty!" Mighty! ”

Zhao Mu even bowed to Han Xuan and said: "Congratulations to the county lieutenant Han for his success, eradicating the Yamen Village, eliminating harm for the people, and making another great contribution!" ”

Qian Rui: "County Lieutenant Han is so brave, I should play Lord Ming County and let him reward you!" ”

Han Xuan waved his hand and said, "Thanks to the strong support of my fathers and fellow villagers, otherwise how could this official be able to break the thief with one drum!" ”

Han Xuan came to the city defense camp with these bandits who surrendered to him, and ordered someone to take the military register and count the names of each of them. He was going to ask Qian Rui to take this booklet to Changsha Taishou, hoping that he could distribute some money, food and materials for the soldiers to eat and wear. As for the origin of these extra people, Han Xuan was naturally not stupid enough to report their original identity as bandits, but only said that they were recruited as outcasts.

Changsha County guarded the mansion, and Zhang Yi, the Taishou guard, looked back and forth with the battle report presented by Qian Rui. He looked disbelieving and asked Qian Rui, "This Han Xuan has such ability?" served as the county lieutenant of Luo County at a young age, and only a little more than a month after taking office, he captured the bandits who had been entrenched in Luo County for many years? ”

Qian Ruidun bowed and said: "Lord County Guard, everything said in the battle report is true!" ”

Zhang Yi asked: "In this battle, he gathered more than 4,000 people to fight the bandits, where did so many people come from, how many people are there in your entire Luo County?" And how can the number of soldiers increase instead of loss after the war, and there are so many more people on the military register! ”

Qian Rui hurriedly said: "This person has unpredictable abilities, and this person is probably not much better than Han Xin in using soldiers!" ”

……

Huangfeng Village, Luo Ping took Jin Biao and others to the hall in embarrassment and saw Lei Ling, the owner of Huangfeng Village. Lei Ling hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Lord Luozhai, he is so embarrassed?" ”

Luo Ping took a breath and said: "Alas~ In vain, I have worked so hard to run Yamen Village for so long, and I actually let a hairy boy be destroyed!" After Luo Ping finished speaking, his teeth itched with hatred.

Jin Biao even sighed: "This person's guard martial arts are not bad, he has gathered so many people in such a short period of time, and suddenly came to attack our cottage." I haven't seen him in just one year, and I don't want him to grow to such a point! ”

Luo Ping bowed to Lei Ling again: "I am unwilling, and I implore the Lord of Lei Zhai to help me wait for me to go back!" ”

Lei Ling said with a sweaty face: "Even Yamenzhai is not Han Xuan's opponent, how dare I, Huang Fengzhai, be his enemy?" It's not that I don't want to help, I'm really powerless! ”

Seeing him shirk, Luo Ping said with a smile: "Lord Lei Village, do you think your Huangfeng Village can be safe and sound?" I expected that Han Xuan would soon come to attack Huangfeng Village. ”

Lei Ling asked, "What can I do?" Please Bishop Luo Zhai me! ”

Luo Ping said: "Now only the local Haoqiang Guo Shi, with his support, and then unite the people of large and small cottages from all over the country. We can destroy Han Xuan like we killed Zhao Heihu! ”

…………

Yamenzhai is no longer called Yamenzhai. In the past month or so, Han Xuan has led people to build day and night, and the entire Yamen Village has undergone earth-shaking changes. Han Xuan led people to rebuild the fortifications, and added more than a dozen arrow towers, forming a trend of fighting each other. The wooden wall was reinforced with mountain stones by Han Xuan and others, and it has become a small city wall. Most of the bandits who took refuge in him became farmers, terraced from the top to the bottom, planted wheat and other crops, and waited for the next year's harvest. Looking at the thriving new village, Han Xuan renamed it "Pingluo Pass"!

Dong Ping took dozens of people to the back mountain of Pingluo Pass and divided the people into several teams. Dong Ping took the lead with a team of more than ten people and threw the hook rope in his hand towards the cliff, and more than a dozen hook ropes firmly hooked the big trees and rocks on the cliff. Dong Ping tightened the rope, tied the rope around his waist and began to climb up.

When they climbed to the top of the cliff, they saw Han Xuan, who had been waiting here for a long time. These rock climbers were selected by Dong Ping from more than 400 elite soldiers from the whole army, and after layers of assessment and screening, only these 80 people were finally left. Dong Ping led them to train rock climbing every day, and each of them became a rock climbing master for more than a month.

After the last group climbed up, they lined up in several teams and quietly waited for Han Xuan's instructions.

Han Xuan ordered them, "The captains of each squad count the number of people in their own team!" ”

The captain of each team quickly counted the number of people and reported to Han Xuan: "All members of the team are here!" ”

"All members of the second team are here!"

"Three teams ......"

“……”

Han Xuan had already ordered someone to guard the back mountain, and no one was allowed to come in, and only the eighty-two of them were left.

Han Xuan nodded after listening to the report and began to say, "Very good, I know that all of you are the elite of the elite!" Tell me, to whom are you allegiant? ”

"But Lord Han has one ear!" Everyone said in unison.

"Very well, today I have something very important to announce. You, as a special forces unit directly under my orders, have been officially established today! Han Xuan said impassionedly.

Han Xuan continued: "I know that you have endured a lot of hardships after layers of selection. I have good news for you, when you come here, the real devil training has just begun! It's going to be a hundredfold and a thousand times more painful than what you've been training before, are you afraid? ”

Everyone was silent, and Han Xuan said, "Why do you have to undergo such cruel training, because the task you have to perform is far more dangerous than that of ordinary soldiers!" But correspondingly, your weapons and equipment, food, military salaries and other aspects will be better than theirs! ”

Han Xuan took out a small flag and held it up and said, "From now on, our team will be called the 'Shadow Tiger Army'!" All of you obey me directly, you call me 'Commander-in-Chief', and Dong Ping is your commander-in-chief. Each team of nine people is organized into a group, and each team leader is responsible for specific tactical arrangements. Dong Ping, step forward to receive the flag! ”

Dong Ping held the small flag, raised the small flag with his right hand and asked them loudly, "Who are you?" ”

"Shadow Tiger Army! Shadow Tiger Army! Shadow Tiger Army! ……”
