After reading it, after the training in the school field, Li Qing walked around the barracks a few times at will, and before he knew it, the afternoon time had passed quietly, watching the sunset, Li Qing returned to the general's mansion again under the leadership of General Mu behind him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Qing did not choose to walk, at this moment Li Qing chose to ride a horse, after all, everything that should have been seen has been seen, when he came to enjoy the scenery of the frontier, at this moment he went home to save time.

Looking at the Sword Gate guards who had always been smiling from beginning to end, Li Qing said with emotion: "It's better to see than to hear, what I saw today, General Mu really has his own set of methods for training soldiers!" Li Qing's words were not hypocritical politeness, but heartfelt emotion.

And General Mu, who was beside Li Qing, heard Li Qing's undisguised appreciation, and arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness King Shou has praised falsely, as a general, training his soldiers should be a humble responsibility, King Shou praised him so much, he is ashamed to be ashamed!" Li Qing's appreciation made General Mu on the side more humble.

Seeing this, Li Qing stopped talking, after all, Li Qing didn't bother to say anything about mutual compliments without nutrition, some words are enough to go once, and saying too much will be counterproductive.

Riding on a horse, looking at the soldiers in sharp armor around him, Li Qing couldn't help asking: "I don't know what kind of 1,000 soldiers General Mu plans to lend to General Ben tomorrow, and what kind of soldiers are there?" ”

Seeing that he was asking the right question, General Mu on the side no longer dared to be sloppy, and hurriedly said respectfully: "I don't know Your Highness, what kind of troops do you want?" At this moment, General Mu naturally didn't dare to make his own claims, so he asked this question.

Seeing that the other party threw the question to himself, Li Qing naturally understood the thoughts of General Mu beside him, Li Qing did not shirk, and said directly: "Jiannan Road is mountainous, and the danger of Shu Road is indeed not suitable for large-scale cavalry marching, so let's do it!" ”

"The king asked the general to borrow 100 cavalry, 200 lightly armed crossbowmen, and 200 archers, and as for the remaining 500 people, it all depends on General Mu's arrangement, as long as they are brave warriors who dare to fight and kill! This king has arranged this way for the time being, if General Mu has any good proposals, he might as well come and listen to it! Li Qing looked at General Mu side by side with a consultative expression.

Since the last time he saw the power of the Tang crossbow, Li Qing naturally had a great interest in the crossbow machine, so at this moment, facing General Mu, Li Qing put forward a request for two hundred crossbow soldiers, so to kill the enemy in a hundred steps away from the big killing weapon, Li Qing naturally will not refuse, although compared to the bow and arrow, the range of the crossbow arrow is shorter, but if the cooperation is good enough, it can be completely uninterrupted, covering shooting.

Archers generally have higher requirements for strength, after all, no matter how to pull the bow and shoot arrows is a physical work, even if it is a good archer, shooting twenty bows and arrows in a row is the limit, if it is more, it is easy to cause muscle strain, light rest for ten days and half a month, heavy from now on it is not impossible to pull arrows, it is for this reason, the number of arrows and arrows carried by each Tang soldier is generally about thirty.

Compared to the strict requirements of the archer, the crossbowman is much easier, and the lightweight crossbow machine is easy to carry, the shooting accuracy is high, as long as the number of crossbow arrows is sufficient, the crossbowman can completely and continuously form a devastating blow to the enemy without interruption.

And the two armies face each other, generally the archers first consume part of the enemy's living strength, and when the enemy approaches again, the crossbowmen will fire ten thousand crossbows in unison, forming a devastating blow to the enemy, imagine that the enemy has not yet come close, a large part of the strength will be consumed, and watching so many enemies die tragically in front of themselves, it will also be an encouragement to their morale, so why worry? ”

Such a powerful killing weapon, Li Qing didn't want to ask for more, but the production method of a crossbow machine is much more complicated than that of bows and arrows, and the complexity of the production process directly leads to the shortage of crossbow machines, and the general crossbow machine is very easy to damage if it is used improperly, in Li Qing's imagination, with the number of 5,000 defenders at Jianmen Pass, the number of light crossbow machines that can be owned will definitely not exceed 800.

If Li Qing is insatiable this time and the lion opens his mouth, even if the Sword Gate guards are forced by Li Qing's power to choose to accept their fate, but this will inevitably leave a bad impression on him, and even worse, it will even lead to the centrifugation of the five thousand elite Sword Gate defenders who have just announced that they are standing behind him, so Li Qing will lose even more, so this is the reason why Li Qing only needs to take two hundred crossbow machines just now.

As for those heavy crossbow machines, and even super-large bed crossbows with great lethality, there may be some important geographical locations in Jianmen Pass, but Li Qing has no plans for these, one is that they are inconvenient to carry, and the other is that those heavy crossbow machines are generally used to defend the city, and now the Tang Kingdom is rich and strong (at least on the surface), and there is no neighboring country that dares to brave the world's disapproval to forcibly capture Datang County.

The more important Jiannan Road is surrounded by blockages, which is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so why bother to transport the crossbow machine to Chengdu Mansion in one fell swoop, and Li Qing believes that Chengdu, as the most important military town in the southwest and the capital of Jiannan Province, Li Qing will not believe that the guard force of Chengdu Mansion will be half a point weaker than Jianmen Pass!

General Mu, who was already ready to be slaughtered, saw that Li Qing was so merciful to his subordinates, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I really didn't expect King Shou in front of him to be so kind.

But with emotion, General Mu did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly said: "Everything is exactly according to His Highness's orders!" In this case, according to His Royal Highness's words, his subordinates will later arrange for the transfer of one hundred elite cavalry to the command of King Shou, and then prepare two hundred crossbow machines, each crossbow machine with a hundred crossbow arrows, and then two hundred archers, each archer carries two pots of arrows, each pot holds thirty arrows, as for the remaining five hundred people, the humble post will definitely select the most elite soldiers from my five thousand Jianmen defenders to follow His Highness, so that with their protection, since the Jianmen Pass and Chengdu Mansion will definitely ensure His Highness's peace of mind! ”

After that, General Mu pinched his hands, and then asked with an embarrassed face: "I just don't know Your Highness, but you can decide which ten guards will stay in Jianmen Pass and preside over the daily training of my Jianmen Pass defenders!" ”

Looking at General Mu with a longing look in front of him, Li Qing smiled and said: "I really didn't expect General Mu to have such expectations for this king's guards, okay, after going back, this king will arrange ten guards to live in the barracks, okay?" ”

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the sword gate guard didn't dare to say anything more, the two discussed, and unconsciously returned to the general's mansion again, but the sunset that was still faintly visible could no longer be seen at the moment, and was replaced by a remnant of the sky!

Li Qing followed General Mu to the main hall, but the main hall at this moment was already very lively, the Wang brothers, Wei Yanyu, Xuan'er, and even Qiu Xin, who was rescued by Li Qing in Qizhou City, were all present.
