Chapter 15 Hu Qi

The most common weapon in the Lieutenant Cavalry is the arrow!

Because of the Yun family's small iron-smelting workshop, the soldiers disassembled the original feather arrows, replaced them with newly cast arrows, and then reassembled the balance feathers at the back, and the two original feather arrows could barely make a new feather arrow.

The previous triangular arrows have become sharper triangular pyramids, and the armor-piercing effect is more powerful, even if the weight of the feather arrows is increased and the range is reduced, the soldiers also like to use this new style of feather arrows with greater power.

At the very least, enemies who have been hit by this new type of feather arrow will not continue to charge at them with the feathered arrow on their backs, and once in the middle, the triangular arrow will quickly drain their blood.

In order to facilitate the battle, the feather arrows of the cavalry captain were divided into many types, one of which was the phosphorus rocket!

The arrowhead of this arrow is usually sealed tightly with bamboo tube and mastic, once it is to be used, pull out the bamboo tube, quickly shoot the feather arrow, the feather arrow will automatically burn when flying in the air, igniting the grease on the feather arrow and eventually turning into a rocket.

After Yun Lang gave the order, one hundred and ten rockets were launched and landed in the land of one arrow, and the hundred and ten rockets were like a hundred and ten torches emitting bright light in the night, and soon ignited the surrounding weeds.

A dozen black shadows rose from the grass, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Yun Lang didn't ask the soldiers to shoot at those black shadows, the purpose of his rockets was to drive away the enemies who coveted the camp.

The weeds of the moor burned for half the night, probably because of the thick smoke, and after the damp water vapor mixed with the smoke, a light rain began to fall in the valley in the early morning.

At dawn, the gate of the military village was finally erected steadily under the concerted efforts of more than 100 people.

The Captain of the Cavalry finally had a relatively safe fortress.

Last night's wildfire burned all the weeds and some bushes, and now, as long as you sit at the gate of the camp, you can see the thunder camp on the hill on the left, and if you stand on the specially erected fight, you can look down on the entire thunder camp and see their every move.

After daybreak, when the other group of soldiers had rested, they began to dig a deep trench outside the military village, because of the shovels, it was not too difficult for the soldiers to dig the trench, especially on the high slopes of the loess.

The soldiers built a large platform from the scraps of some trees at the height of the camp, and a simple shed was built on the platform, which was covered with a layer of loess, and even when it rained, the underground of the shed was very dry.

Li Dang roasted the bowstring with charcoal fire, this is the disadvantage of the bow and arrow, the cow tendon, the cowhide cord will become soft and loose once it encounters the humid air.

This situation is not serious for the Han army, and it will cause great trouble for Changshui Huqi.

The relationship between the nomads, most of the equipment on their bodies also comes from cattle and sheep, leather armor, leather cords, and horn bows, in the humid air, they have undergone essential changes, especially leather armor, once it is softened by the humid air, the defense ability can be reduced by as much as sixty percent at most.

Cao Xiang wanted to drink, but when he saw that Huo Quai's face was not good, he stuffed the wine jug he had just taken out back into his arms, and said to Yun Lang with a smile: "This rain will not stop for a while and a half, we have a dry place to sleep, and those Hu people will be miserable, and the cowhide tent will swell when they see the water, and living in the tent is the same as living in the belly of the cow, miserable." ”

Yun Lang ate a piece of cake and said with a smile: "We will soon have no camp." ”

Cao Xiang said angrily: "Why is this? Let's make it clear first, I don't plan to give the military village to those Hu Qi, no one can do it. ”

Yun Lang looked at Cao Xiang and said, "I sent someone to tell Changshui Huqi." ”

"When did you become so kind?"

Li Dang opened his mouth and yawned and said, "For the sake of one hundred and twenty war horses, I am willing to live in the belly of the cow." ”

"Did you take the camp to exchange horses with Hu Qi?"

"That's nature, you saw it yesterday, who can we beat? Since we can't fight it, we can't grab the war horse, so we have to exchange. ”

Cao Xiang looked at Huo Quzhi and said worriedly: "You agreed?" ”

Huo Quzhi bit the big cake in his hand and said: "We are short of horses, very short, Hu Qi is the place with the most war horses in the Han army, and they also have their own pastures, exchange one hundred and twenty war horses for our camp, I think it's good." ”

"What are we going to do?"

"What to do? Of course, I continued to build the camp and see if I could exchange some good things with others.

If possible, Yun Lang also plans to exchange things with Lei. ”

"We're here to grab something!!"

"Are you sure you can grab it?"

"It seems to be a little hard."

"Anyway, our goal is a war horse, as long as the goal is achieved, it doesn't matter how we achieve it.

People ride one person and three horses, and we can't guarantee one horse per person, and we can't fight without horses. ”

Cao Xiang saw that Huo Quai, Yun Lang, and Li Dang all agreed to exchange the camp for horses, and had to nod and agree, who let the captain of the cavalry now be in a time when his uncle is not in pain and his grandmother is not in love.

As for the war, after Cao Xiang weighed the situation, he also lost the determination to fight resolutely.

This is not the scene of the national war, let alone the battlefield of the battle with the Huns, no matter who kills whom, it is the armor of the Han Dynasty who dies, which is the real reason why they are not interested in fighting to the death.

The idea of exchanging the camp for war horses was what Yun Lang thought of last night, among the spies who escaped, there were not only Lei Quilt people, but also Hu Qi's spies, and even the people and horses of the Beida Camp and the Xiliu Camp.

Yun Lang chose to build a camp in this place, and he had a good vision, and he immediately offset Lei by his condescending military advantage.

As an attacker, he doesn't have to think about water like Lei Quilt, so he can build his camp on the highest mountain.

After breakfast, the Huqi men came to receive the camp.

This is also the first time that Yun Lang has observed the aliens at close range, the last time he met the Huns, there was only a desperate fight, and there was no one in Yun Lang's eyes at that time...... He just wanted to cut down and kill any living creature in front of him.

Cao Xiang watched the army that did not say a word come to the mouth of the camp, and whispered to Yun Langhuo to get sick, Li Dang introduced: "During the Gaozu period, the Xiongnu broke the Donghu, and the Donghu people were scattered, and it is said that some of them went to Karasuma Mountain, and they became today's Wuhuan people, and the other part was driven into Youbeiping by the Huns, and was collected by Emperor Wen to form the Hu Cavalry Captain to fight for my Han Dynasty.

After decades of loyalty and unwillingness to fight, His Majesty deliberately removed the name of Hu Qi and gave them the name Changshui in order to reward these Hu Qi.

The Hu people at the head of the group, named Zhi Quan, is the number one fierce general in the Changshui Captain barracks, it is said that the arms have the strength of a thousand catties, can tear the tiger and leopard alive, pay attention to a little when dealing with a while, the Hu people are the most untrustworthy, must first hand over the horse, and then vacate the camp. ”

Zhi Qian took Hu Qi to the front of the military camp, and looked at Huo Qu's illness, Yun Lang and the others did not speak, but kicked heavily on the doorpost, and the thick doorpost did not move, but Zhi Qian was shocked back again and again by this big tree that grew in the ground and removed its branches, and almost sat on the ground.

The soldiers in the cavalry lieutenant camp burst into laughter.

But he didn't care, but approached Huo Quzhi and said in very standard Chinese: "The military village is very strong. ”

Yun Lang couldn't stand the strong fishy smell emanating from these people, so he changed his position, didn't speak, and quietly watched Huo Quai's deal with Hu Qi.

"One hundred and twenty war horses, as long as you give them to me, this military fortress is yours."

Huo Quzhi was not polite and went straight to the point.

He nodded and said, "It's fair, after letting me see the military village first, you will get the war horse you want." ”

Yun Lang knew that Huo Quzhi hated talking about business, so he stepped forward and invited the governor to visit the military village.

A total of six Wuhuan warriors entered the military village with their jurisdiction, and before they entered the village, they were talking foreign words, and they seemed to be a little excited.

Seeing that Yun Lang was looking at them with a smile, he stopped speaking in foreign words, pointed to the Lei Junzhai on another mountain bag and said, "One thousand two hundred steps? ”

Yun Lang nodded and said: "One thousand three hundred and twenty steps, which is beyond the attack range of ordinary ballistas, unless you have a twelve-stone ballista, that platform can place a ballista, condescending, and there are many tactics available." ”

He pointed to the trench outside the wooden wall and said, "According to the horse? ”

Yun Lang nodded and said: "The trench is six feet deep, one zhang wide, the war horse can't jump over, even if there is a fast horse crossing, there is only three feet of land under the wall, there is no space to stand on, it has not yet taken shape, if you want to complete it all, it will take two days!" ”

He shook his head and said, "We're here to attack, not to defend." ”

Yun Lang said with a smile: "In this case, I won't explain the defense methods in the military village one by one, as long as the general gives us the war horse, this camp is yours." ”
