In the month, the heavy infantry corps of the Jinling Protectorate finally assembled on the bank of the huge fleet escort river, and after nearly half a month of repair, this legion, which had not set foot on the battlefield for thirty years, entered the plain outside Chang'an City, waiting for the Chang'an arsenal

of armaments.

On the wall of Chang'an City, Li Ang looked at the heavy infantry corps marching in a strict military column, and had a sense of déjà vu, as if he had seen the most elite phalanx in the military parade of the Republic.

"Although they have not been through battle, they have been tempered by a thousand tempers, and it only takes one battle for them to become an invincible hero on the plains, and no one can break through their defenses head-on except for the heavy tiger and leopard cavalry." The chief looked at Li Ang beside him, and his voice was low, "

They have spent all their time training all these years, except for eating and sleeping. ”

"Each of them is around thirty years old, and they only need one war, and the one who survives is the best fire captain, captain, and captain." The commander's eyes flashed, the military hall had already had a huge war plan, and he finally waited for this moment.

"Will the main force of the future expansion be the infantry?" Li Ang heard the meaning of the commander-in-chief's words, the 30,000 heavy infantry outside the city would be trained as future officers, such a large group of infantry officers was really unimaginable.

"In the past 30 years, the biggest drawback is the war horse, now the number of horses that can be called war horses in Daqin is less than 400,000, and it will take at least ten years to restore it to thirty years ago."

The number of war horses was insufficient, Li Ang frowned, Daqin's cavalry was too strict with the war horses. The pedigree of one hundred and fifty years has produced excellent war horses, which make them disdain ordinary horses on the grassland.

"The military hall intends to equip each of these heavy infantry with two horses. Mobilize heavy infantry to take on field battles when there are not enough cavalry. The chief glanced at Leon as if he knew what was in his heart.

"This time it was nominally an operation against Persia, but in fact it was a comprehensive takeover of Central Asia, a preliminary operation, mainly suppression. A decisive battle against Persia will not be waged until a solid system of river logistics is established. The chief said in a deep voice, "Before that, you were on the ground on your shoulders

The burden is very heavy, and this trip may be several years, so spend more time with your family these days! ”

"The war is finally about to begin!" Looking at the sunset, which was as red as blood, Li Ang muttered to himself, his eyes far away.

The city of Chang'an boiled with the arrival of the Jinling Heavy Infantry Corps. The old people recalled the war that took place in the distant Hercynian more than 30 years ago. tells the heroic deeds of that time.

The children of the major military families began to flock to the army, and they were eager to establish immortal martial arts like their ancestors, even if they died on the battlefield, it was better than living a dull life in Chang'an City until they died of old age. Moreover, even those children who do not want to join the army are home

The elders of the land forcibly joined the army. The fate of the children of the military family is the battlefield, and the shade they get because of the military exploits of their ancestors must be repaid with their blood and fight for the country until the last moment.

In Taixue, the number of students who went to Confucianism to attend classes dropped sharply, and when the war came, the words of Confucius and Mencius were useless, and they preferred to study Legalism, Moism, and Bingjia. Doctor's house, farmer's house. It is also better than learning from Confucianism to recite those useless truths, which are meant to be for those who are externalized

The people learned from the land, rubbed away their barbarism, and taught them what etiquette was.

In the Logistics Department of the Ministry of War, Huang Yuan always showed a wry smile on his face, those colleagues who had a way were asking for transfers, but he still had to stay in this thousand-year-old nest for the rest of his life, could it be that his life was here to calculate materials until he died of old age? Huang Yuan stared blankly at the mountain of official documents in front of him, and asked himself in his heart.

Li Ang walked into the logistics department of the military department that seemed a little deserted, he came to find Huang Yuan, he was about to go to the river and he needed talents, the kind of clean talents without any background, the officers in the Chang'an Duhu Mansion, too many of them were direct children of the family, and it was difficult for him to go to the same place

Believe these people.

Walking into the inner room of the office, Leon saw the man buried in the pile of official documents, still as cold as when he first met, his face stiff, and it seemed that he would never have any expression. Li Ang looked at him and thought of his information, Huang Yuan, the word Guanlan, and Huang Zhong

Collateral descendants, now Chinese New Year's Eve two years old, the family road has long fallen, both parents died early, grew up in Xicheng since childhood, relying on the help of his maternal uncle, only to avoid going to the orphanage, joined the army at the age of sixteen, at the age of twenty because of offending the commander of the army, was transferred to the logistics department of the Ministry of War, has been

Until now.

Withdrawn, not good at socializing, since the death of his maternal uncle five years ago, except for the night will go to the small wine shop two streets outside the residence to drink, no longer intersect with others, but most of the monthly military income is given to the poor families in Xicheng.

The information of Jin Yiwei's investigation ends here, it can be said that this Huang Yuan is a person who is extremely withdrawn, and he has almost no hobbies, and even goes to a small wine shop two streets away every night to drink, in Li Ang's opinion, it is just to relieve loneliness, just

As he used to, he would go to the bar every night to drink, only then he wouldn't feel like he was alive alone.

Huang Yuan raised his head, he heard the footsteps, although it was very light, but he still heard it, he raised his head and looked at the young officer who was coming, and when he saw that face, he was stunned, this face he knew, although the person in front of him and the shallow smile during the Qixi night meeting

He was completely different from Ruyu Gongzi, but he was still sure that they were a person.

"You are Li Liuru." Huang Yuan shouted out the pseudonym that Li Ang used at that time, his brows furrowed, and the two silver dragon emblems on Li Ang's collar badge told him that the young man in front of him was already a thousand-household officer who could command a thousand people.

"That's my pseudonym, and my real name is Leon." After saying his name, Li Ang looked into Huang Yuan's eyes, which always looked a little gloomy, and said, "I want you to join me." ”

"Why do you fancy me?" Huang Yuan just frowned, and asked, after twelve years in the Logistics Department of the Ministry of War, he was no longer the young man he was back then, and he would rashly believe in others.

"First the feelings, then the ones." Li Ang replied, taking out Jinyiwei's investigation documents from his bosom. It was handed to Huang Yuan. Huang Yuan hesitated for a moment before taking it and looking at it. It is clearly recorded in the documents, and even the things when and where he joined the army are investigated clearly

Chu, there is no omission.

"You, who were once known as the God of Arrows, are you really willing to stay in this kind of place for the rest of your life." looked at Huang Yuan without the slightest movement

, Li Ang said quietly, "In this place, you spent your talents and died in Haixi, as his son, you are ridiculed here as a waste person who has not moved for thousands of years." ”

"That's enough, don't say it." Huang Yuan's face was still calm, but his hand holding the Jinyiwei investigation report was trembling, and the resentment he had suppressed for twelve years was ignited in Li Ang's words.

"What do you people who rely on the top of your family know about it, do you think I am willing to stay here like rotten wood, and finally sink?" Huang Yuan stood up, he looked at Li Ang with a raging flame in his eyes.

"Relying on the family lineage. Are you laughing at me? Ignoring the burning pupils, Leon pulled down his uniform. **The upper body is a dozen twisted scars like a poisonous dragon, hideous and eye-catching.

Looking at those scars, Huang Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect that there were so many scars on this young and handsome officer's body, and he began to regret what he said earlier. The scars seemed to mock him for having never been on the battlefield.

"If you are unwilling, just follow me, this is the order of the military hall." Li Ang twisted the brass buttons one by one, put on his military uniform, and then took out the transfer documents from his pocket and threw them on the table.

Tremblingly picking up the transfer paperwork, Huang Yuan looked at what was written on it, and his heart was full of joy and sorrow, how many times he had longed to return to the army, and now it has finally come true. He didn't know what to say, he just held the order. Stood still.

"I hope your archery skills are still the same as they used to be, and they won't let me down." Li Ang's cold voice woke up Huang Yuan.

"I won't let you down." Huang Yuan put away the order, gave a military salute to Li Ang, and said in a deep voice, his eyebrows had calmed down, and there was no longer any expression on his face.

"Come with me." Li Ang nodded, this is what he wants to be Huang Yuan, calm to the bone marrow, such a person is worthy of the title of arrow god, he wants to take him to the Foundry Division, and let Fu Li make a sniper crossbow for him for him.

Huang Yuan left the Logistics Department without the slightest nostalgia, he followed behind Li Ang, his eyes thoughtful.

The Foundry Department was not far from the Logistics Department, and when those little officials saw Li Ang, they immediately went in to report that this young officer who had been coming frequently in the past few days was the most important guest of Master Fu Li, and they did not dare to slack off.

It was still Fu Li's inner hall, seeing that Li Ang had brought someone in, Fu Li glanced at it slightly, and didn't pay attention to it anymore, he was a person born for weapons, and took out three silver-white gun barrels and handed them to Li Ang, leaving a little eagerness in his eyes, "You try it, it's still useful."

There's no feeling of not being able to stretch out your power. ”

After connecting the three silver-white guns, Li Ang had an extra spear in his hand that was three meters and eight meters long, and the edge of the spear exuded a cold atmosphere, and the whole gun was held in his hand, and there was no wind and automatic. Li Ang suddenly clenched the barrel of the gun and trembled, and suddenly Fu Li and Huang Yuan were gone

There were only countless silver-white gun shadows left in front of him, and there were light explosions on the wall of the courtyard from time to time, and there were more than a dozen holes in the bluestone wall in an instant.

Such terrible marksmanship, Huang Yuan looked at Li Ang who was standing quietly with the gun, and his heart was shocked, while Fu Li was satisfied with the silver-white spear in Li Ang's hand that he had built himself, after all, he used gold and iron to shoot a big gun that could use his inner marksmanship.

After disassembling the spear and wrapping it in deerskin, Li Ang thanked Fu Li before asking him to tailor a sniper crossbow for Huang Yuan to suit him.

"Follow me." Fu Li looked at Huang Yuan, said to the two of them, and took them to the place where the Foundry Division tested the bow and crossbow.

"That's?" At a glance, Huang Yuan saw the collapsible pulley giant crossbow equipped with a scope that Li Ang had asked the Foundry Division to build. He picked it up, and soon understood the use of the scale in the scope above, and his eyes showed a look of fanaticism.

"This is your custom-made three-hundred-fold crossbow, and it's all finished." Fu Li glanced at Li Ang, "I don't know what your way is, the military hall actually approved it, and your batch of bows and crossbows is preferred, but your scope is really good." ”

"This scope was come up with by an adult." Huang Yuan put down the crossbow in his hand and looked at Li Ang with a somewhat surprised gaze.

"These pulleys and winches were also thought up by him, the Mo family eats white rice, and deals with mechanisms such as pulley winches every day, but they didn't expect to use crossbows, it's really shameful for them." Fu Li counted several Mo craftsmen who were also colleagues, from one

Among the neatly placed bows, he picked out one and gave it to Huang Yuan, "Use your greatest strength to pull!" ”

Taking over the seemingly ordinary big bow, Huang Yuan only frowned slightly at the moment he took over, then held the bow and pulled it away, shaped like a full moon, and lasted for a while before he released the string, and the violent sound of the string shook the echo in the armory room.

Looking at Huang Yuan, who was completely fine, Li Ang was also a little shocked in his heart, the average person in the army who can use a six-stone strong bow is already a master of archery, and the bow that Fu Li gave Huang Yuan has a pulling force of nine stones, when Fu Li made a crossbow for him, although he also pulled it out, but

But it was extremely reluctant, far less comfortable than Huang Yuan in front of him.

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect anyone to be able to pull the Nine Stone Bow so easily, it seems that your strength is also very simple to pull away the Ten Stone Gong." Fu Li looked at Huang Yuan in front of him, his eyes were shining, and he could see that Huang Yuan's hairs stood upside down.

"Half a month later, I promise that the crossbow he uses can shoot people through 1,500 paces away." After noting down Huang Yuan's height, arm length, shoulder width and the thickness of his palm, Fu Li said to Li Ang, and then ignored them anymore and went straight to the refining room of the Foundry Division

, completely forgot about the two of them.

"Half a month, just enough time." Li Ang looked at Fu Li's figure, muttered to himself, and then looked at Huang Yuan beside him, "Go back and tidy up, we will leave at eighteen." ”

"Go, where to go." Hearing Li Ang's words, Huang Yuan was stunned, now he didn't know anything except that he belonged to a unit called the Dark Cavalry Battalion, and the commander was called Li Ang.

"You'll know when you get here." After Li Ang told Huang Yuan that the Dark Cavalry Battalion was stationed outside the city, he didn't say much, and left the Foundry Division with him, and then he only waited for the military hall staff meeting in five days, knowing his exact mission, he was leaving

Open Chang'an, go to a distant place to fight, maybe not return for several years.
