In the early morning, the birds chirped, Nan Feng knocked on Fang Jue's door quickly and gently, and Fang Jue woke up from his sleep in a daze.

"Li'er, you take this to find the money boy." Fang Jue took out a drawing that he had been thinking about all night.

"Young master, what is this?"

"This is a shield, tell Qian Kaigongzi that he must use the best materials and do it according to the requirements. As for whether he can get what he wants, it depends on his performance. Fang Jue yawned, obviously not sleeping well.

As soon as Fang Jue and Nan Feng came out of Yihexuan, they met the prince Ye Yunchang.

"Morning prince." Fang Jue saluted respectfully.

"The training of the new army is going well." Ye Yunchang was also just about to go out, preparing for the early dynasty.

"Everything goes well, thank you for your concern." Fang Jue was a little apologetic, he had misunderstood Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, a few days ago.

"That's good, this king is in a hurry to the court, you come to this king in the evening, and this king has something to ask you." After Ye Yunchang finished speaking, he got into the carriage and galloped away.

Fang Jue and Nan Feng rushed to the barracks and saw more than a dozen people waiting at the gate of the barracks.

Qian Kai was really thoughtful and came over early in the morning to deliver breakfast. The soldiers were supposed to make breakfast, they just ate some porridge, drank some water, trained intensively, and were already hungry before noon. When they saw the people at the gate of the camp, they asked the reason, so they all thought they were smart and did not make breakfast.

Breakfast consists of meat buns, steamed buns, eggs, and rice. All the soldiers were excited, for them, it was simply too much of a luxury. Meat stuffed buns, they can still eat meat in the morning, what else are they not satisfied with.

"Run around the barracks for half an hour, and then you can come and finish your meal, and bring your shield." Fang Jue gave an order, and all the soldiers obeyed the command and ran with their shields.

Fang Jue asked the guy who delivered the meal to put breakfast in the lunch box, each person had a meat bun, a steamed bun, an egg, and enough rice. When it was ready, it was distributed to the soldiers, so that the soldiers would not loot. Moreover, Fang Jue also asked these guys to wait, and after the soldiers finished eating, they took back the lunch box, and then packed lunch in advance and sent it over.

Since then, the Celestial Empire has had the invention of boxed lunches and bentos, and they have been widely used in Fang Jue's army in the future, of course, depending on the situation, if you go out to fight, there will be no boxed lunches, and you can only continue to eat dry food.

The aroma of breakfast spread to the Chu Liuyun military camp opposite, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred. However, Chu Liuyun didn't bother to compare with Fang Jue how to please the soldiers, but instead trained the soldiers hard and strictly.

After breakfast, Fang Jue let the soldiers rest for half an hour, and then started a new round of training, today is still playing the game of stone-to-shield smashing, but this time it is not one-on-one, but let the soldiers twenty people form a circle, and the other twenty people hold stones to smash.

"Push hard, aim, whoever hurts the most people will have more points, and whoever hurts more will lose points." Fang Jue had already told the soldiers what he meant by adding or subtracting points, and those with higher scores would be appointed to higher positions.

Throughout the morning, Fang Jue's military camp was bustling with activity, and the sound shook the sky.

Chu Liuyun finally waited for a reply from the Ministry of War, asking for 500 crossbows and 100,000 crossbow arrows, but in the end only 50 crossbows and 10,000 crossbow arrows were sent. That's right, this seems to have been expected by Chu Liuyun, so he didn't ask for anything from above.

"Twenty people in a column, shoot forward, five shots each, take turns."

Chu Liuyun said as he demonstrated. These soldiers had seen a crossbow, and although they had practiced bows and arrows as infantrymen, they had not yet had the opportunity to touch a crossbow, so they were still very excited. It's as excited as someone who has only used a rifle suddenly touching a sniper rifle.

The crossbow is larger than the average bow and arrow, and it requires the cooperation of several people to fix it, and the bowstring full moon is not something that can be pulled by one person. However, Chu Liuyun seems to be particularly brave, and he can actually pull the bowstring alone. Each crossbow has two arrow slots, so it can fire two bolts at the same time. The firing range is also extremely long, reaching more than 300 meters.

Chu Liuyun demonstrated it to the soldiers, and two crossbow arrows hit the two straw men three hundred meters in front of him.

After fifty crossbows were ready at the same time, Yao Qi shouted loudly.

"Kai" All the soldiers pedal the crossbow with their feet, then pull the bowstring with their hands, and then the two men next to them put the crossbow arrows in the arrow slot.

Under the command of "hit", the helm pulled the trigger, the crossbow arrows made a thud under the strong drag of the bowstring, fifty crossbows, and a hundred crossbow arrows suddenly pierced the air, and quickly hit the straw man on the opposite side. The crossbow is a little different from the bow and arrow, the crossbow is a direct shot, and the crossbow used by Chu Liuyun has a range of about three hundred and fifty meters, and an effective range of three hundred meters.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred crossbow arrows reached the limit, and boom bang bang ... Some fall in front of the straw man, some fall behind the straw man, and some pass by the straw man, but there are very few crossbow arrows that can shoot the straw man.

Chu Liuyun was very dissatisfied with this result, shook his head, but did not speak, it seemed that he had to continue practicing.

"Childe, there are a few crossbows issued by the Ministry of War, and there are many defective crossbow arrows." Yao Qi reported to Chu Liuyun.

Chu Liuyun walked over and looked at them one by one, there are indeed many problems, and the problematic crossbow will only make the soldiers worse and worse in training, and the strength and crosshairs are not enough, so it is better not to use them. Chu Liuyun checked it, replaced the ten crossbows, and it was impossible to return them, so he could only find a craftsman to repair them, and then continue to use them.

"Keep practicing, and be careful that the opponent's crossbow bolt falls on your head." Nan Feng urged a few soldiers, and the soldiers were attracted by the crossbow arrows of Chu Liuyun's military camp.

"Nan Feng, go back and get a strong crossbow." Fang Jue said to Nan Feng.

"One?" Nan Feng was a little puzzled, why as long as there was one, Chu Liuyun on the opposite side had dozens of crossbows, no matter how he said it, he couldn't be worse than the other party.

Fang Jue looked at the soldiers, and the stone was smashed again. There were quite a few injuries, but they were only minor injuries and did not prevent them from continuing to train.

Fang Jue also asked the soldiers to change from twenty to fifty, and then surrounded them into a circular bottle cap, and covered them tightly with shields on the front, back, left, right, and top.

Because there were no stones, Fang Jue just asked them to change like this, first familiarizing themselves with the laws of change.

Sou...

A crossbow arrow flew towards Fang Jue's barracks, and with a bang, it knocked down a soldier.

The sudden change made the soldiers stop training. Fang Jue hurriedly walked over to check, a crossbow arrow pierced the shield, fortunately the soldier reacted quickly, otherwise he would have been cold. The soldier was only wounded in the arm, and the blood suddenly stained the cloth wrapped around the shield.

"Chu Liuyun, you fucking you, you actually put a cold arrow."

Nan Feng had some atmosphere, looked at Fang Jue, and just waited for Fang Jue to give an order, he took the soldiers to the other party to seek justice.

Fang Jue stepped forward and personally helped up the soldiers on the ground, and the shield was pierced by a crossbow arrow and stuck on the shield. It seems that these shields are indeed of such poor quality that even crossbow arrows that go off can shoot through.
