There was nothing to do all night, and early the next morning, Zhang Bao, Zhang Ren, and Ma Qiu went on the road again after eating dry food.

Before sunset that afternoon, Zhang Bao and the three rushed to Jiameng Pass.

After Huo Jun, the guard of Jia Meng, saw Zhang Bao, Zhang Ren and Ma Qiu, he clenched his fists suspiciously and said, "General Zhang, why do you go and return, what about the other brothers?" ”

Zhang Ren smiled slightly: "General Huo don't worry, the other brothers are fine, Bao'er and I are specially escorting Ma Qiu to Yizhou." This is Ma Chao's son Ma Qiu. ”

Huo Jun looked at Ma Qiuxi and said, "Okay! That's great! Sure enough, the hero is a teenager! Tiger father has no dog! ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "Of course!" ”

Hearing this, Huo Jun suddenly clenched his fists at Zhang Bao and said, "Young General, what kind of fruit did you give me a few days ago?" That fruit is truly amazing! I have been suffering from abdominal pain for many years, but I didn't expect that after eating the two golden fruits given by the major general, my stomach would not hurt! Thank you, Major General! ”

After Huo Jun finished speaking, he hugged his fist and bowed to Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao hurriedly stepped forward to support Huo Jun: "Uncle Huo is too polite!" As long as the Xingchen Fruit is useful to Uncle Huo's body, it will be fine. ”

Huo Jun stood up straight and smiled at Zhang Bao: "That Xingchen Fruit is really too useful to me!" General Zhang, two major generals, you will have a good rest in this Jiameng City tonight. ”

Zhang Ren nodded and said, "There is General Lao Huo." General Huo, we are here to escort Ma Qiu to you, and I will hand it over to you. You can send him to Chengdu, or you can stay here. ”

Huo Jun nodded: "I also have risks here." Tomorrow I will send someone to send Ma Qiu back to Chengdu. ”

Ma Qiu heard this and said loudly: "No! I don't go to Chengdu, I just wait for my father in Jiamengguan. Chengdu is so far away from my father! ”

Seeing this, Zhang Bao smiled and said, "Okay, then you will stay in Jiameng Pass." It is estimated that the lord will bring heavy troops to Hanzhong after the year, and when the lord takes Hanzhong, you will return to Chengdu with the lord. ”

Ma Qiu stopped talking when he heard this.

Huo Jun said: "Okay, just do what the young general wants." ”

Zhang Bao thought that he was going to get Shide, so he smiled at Huo Jun and said, "Uncle Huo, can you take me to see your city defense facilities?" ”

Huo Jun looked at Zhang Bao puzzled: "What does the young general mean by this?" ”

Zhang Bao hurriedly waved his hand: "Uncle Huo, don't misunderstand, my nephew just wants to learn from Uncle Huo." Along the way, Master Pang has been praising Uncle Huo's good guarding, so his nephew wants to see Uncle Huo's skills. ”

Huo Jun smiled slightly when he heard this: "Since the young general wants to see it, then it doesn't hurt for me to take the young general to see it." Major General, please come with me. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao hurriedly followed Huo Jun, and Zhang Ren and Ma Qiu also followed curiously.

Huo Jun brought two deputies to the head of Jiameng Pass with Zhang Bao, Zhang Ren, and Ma Qiu, and then Huo Jun pointed to a pile of stones and arrows prepared at the head of the city and said: "I mainly rely on two utensils, bows and arrows and stones, to defend the city.

Bows and arrows are used to shoot long-range enemies attacking the city, dealing an effective shot at the attacking enemy within 100 paces. Stones, on the other hand, are used when the enemy begins to attack the city with a ladder.

Major General, please take a closer look, the stones I prepared are all stones weighing about 20 catties. If it is too heavy, it will affect the physical strength of the soldiers, so that they will not be able to fight for a long time, and if it is too light, it will not be able to effectively kill the enemy. ”

Zhang Ren, Zhang Bao, and Ma Qiu saw that what Huo Jun said was true, and each of these stones was indeed about twenty catties, and the size was basically uniform, which showed that Huo Jun's work in defending the city was very sufficient.

Huo Jun led everyone to see more than a dozen piles of stones and continued: "These stones and arrows must be fully prepared on weekdays, otherwise once the war starts, there will be no time to prepare for these." ”

Zhang Ren nodded: "General Huo, although you have prepared enough stones, these should not be enough for a year of defense, right?" ”

Huo Jun smiled slightly: "What General Zhang said is reasonable, but it is not enough for a year. But the stones and arrows were enough for three days. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ren couldn't help but sigh: "General Huo is indeed well prepared, and no siege battle can last for three days without interruption. And once the truce is held, I have time to prepare the stones. ”

Huo Jun nodded: "Yes." What's more, there is a lack of everything here in Jiamengguan, and the last thing that is lacking is stones. ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "Uncle Huo's preparation is indeed very sufficient, but it is a little less. ”

Hearing this, Huo Jun looked at Zhang Bao Zhengse and said, "What is the high opinion of the virtuous nephew?" ”

Zhang Bao pointed to a clearing outside Jiameng Pass and said: "Uncle, the terrain outside this pass is quite steep, if there is an enemy in Jiameng Pass that can shoot an enemy three hundred steps away, what effect does Uncle think it will be?" ”

Huo Jun frowned when he heard this: "Shoot an enemy five hundred steps away?" How is that possible? ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "Yes!" Not only can it be done, but there are two ways. ”

Huo Jun nodded and said, "Major General, please general." ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "Uncle Huo, has you forgotten the trebuchet?" Uncle Huo can find craftsmen to make a batch of huge trebuchets and install them on this city wall, what does Uncle Huo think? ”

Huo Jun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is indeed a good idea!" In this way, not to mention 500 steps, even enemies 1,000 steps away may be in the attack range! ”

Zhang Bao nodded: "Yes!" Giant trebuchets are powerful, but stones are also hard to find. But there is another device that can kill the enemy from 500 paces away. ”

"What kind of artifact?" Huo Jun and the people around him all looked at Zhang Bao curiously.

Zhang Bao still smiled slightly: "Are there any people under Uncle Huo who can make crossbows?" ”

Huo Jun nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhang Bao smiled slightly: "It's simple, Uncle Huo can let the craftsman make a batch of giant crossbows, and the power will naturally be much greater." ”

When Huo Jun heard this, he felt his head buzz.

"Giant crossbow! Giant crossbow! ......" Huo Jun couldn't help but mutter.

Zhang Bao nodded: "Yes, Uncle Huo, you put a few more giant trebuchets and giant crossbows at the head of Jiameng Pass, do you say that the enemy still dares to appear within five hundred steps of Jiameng Pass?" ”

"Hahaha......" Huo Jun couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, and the two lieutenants behind him were also smiling.

"Congratulations to the host for teaching the five people to use catapults and giant crossbows in the city defense battle, and the host master has +1000."

"Congratulations to the host for passing on the method of making the giant crossbow to five people, the host has a total of 2050."

After Zhang Bao heard the pleasant voice of Tongling, his heart blossomed, and he finally had a teacher's virtue!

Huo Jun put away his laughter and hugged his fist at Zhang Bao and said, "The insights of the virtuous nephew have benefited me a lot!" Teachable! ”

Zhang Bao smiled at Huo Jun: "Uncle Huo's views on defending the city have also taught the little nephew!" ”

Zhang Ren smiled slightly and didn't speak, he became more and more satisfied with him as an apprentice.

After Zhang Bao achieved his goal, he went back to his residence with everyone to rest.

Zhang Bao rested in Jiamengguan for three days this time before leaving for Hanzhong with Zhang Ren.

In the past three days, Zhang Bao used 2000 Shide to draw 20 times, and won four star fruits. However, this time, Zhang Bao kept all the Xingchen Fruits and did not give them away, and he wanted to implement his general policy of making a fortune.

That night, Zhang Bao and Zhang Ren came to the cave again to rest, but this night suddenly the wind was fierce, lightning and thunder, and after a while, it rained heavily, but fortunately, Zhang Ren led the horses into the cave in advance.

Zhang Bao wondered very much how it could rain such thunder and lightning at this time? It's supposed to be snowing! However, Zhang Bao thought that this was no longer the Three Kingdoms in history, so he accepted everything and soon fell asleep.

Zhang Ren couldn't sleep this night, he listened to the sound of wind and rain outside, and his mind kept recalling all the things that had happened since he met Zhang Bao.

Zhang Ren felt more and more that Zhang Bao was not only lucky! And it is unfathomable, the mind is extremely flexible, and the means are endless! Zhang Ren believes that his apprentice will definitely shine in the future.

In the middle of the night, the thunder and lightning intensified, and Zhang Bao couldn't sleep.

Not long after Zhang Bao woke up, Zhang Bao's fairy pet Feitian took the initiative to appear, and then hissed outside the cave.

Seeing this, Zhang Bao couldn't help but exclaim: "No! There's a second monster in this area? ”

Zhang Renyan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Bao'er, you wait here, and the master will go out to have a look." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Bao grabbed Zhang Ren who was about to leave, and then took out a star fruit and handed it to Zhang Ren: "Master, if you want to take in the immortal pet, you can try it with this fruit." ”

Zhang Ren took the fruit, looked at Zhang Bao and nodded: "Okay." ”

Zhang Bao then looked at Feitian: "Feitian, you go and help my master subdue the demon beasts outside, and I will reward you with a Star Fruit when you come back." ”

Feitian nodded very humanly after Zhang Bao finished speaking, and then quickly disappeared in front of Zhang Bao's eyes, and Zhang Ren also rushed out when he saw this.
