"That's a great question!"

Seeing that Zhen Da finally accosted, Zhen Sixteen knew that his words had aroused the interest of the other party, and immediately continued to take strong medicine: "Boss, have you thought about it carefully, the master's letter to Uncle Wang said that our development goal is to the north and the northeast, and the letter also said that it is necessary to expand thousands of miles in these two directions before the end of next year, don't you think there is a mystery in this?" ”

"Of course I see that?"

Zhen Da was unconvinced and said: "To the east is the Bohai Kingdom, to the south is the Yellow Head and the East Chamber, and to the west, in addition to the Hejie Division, there are more than a dozen large and small Chambers, we want to develop, it is impossible not to have more than ten years, but to the north and northeast, there are only three medium-sized tribes left, once they are eliminated, we will have peace of mind in the north!" ”

"Not bad! There is also some strategic vision, but unfortunately it is far from enough! ”

Zhen Da was a little angry and said, "Then tell me, what else is the reason?" ”

Zhen Sixteen stretched his waist comfortably, turned over, looked up at the top of his head in the snow nest where he was lying, and tightened the old sheepskin on his body before saying, "Didn't the master say empathy?" Let's think of it this way, what do we have in the north? ”

"The western part of the Ling, the Mughure and the Luotan tribe!"

"That's right! Do you think it is possible for these three tribes, each stronger than the other, to be annexed within a year? ”

"It's very difficult, if it's just a western ridge, it shouldn't be a problem in half a year, but the Mengwu tribe is an existence close to a large tribe, if you want to defeat them, it is impossible to complete it without 20,000 cavalry in your hands?"

"That's right!" Zhen Sixteen handed Zhen Da a wine jug and said, "Do you think the master will not know?" ”

Zhen Da was silent, took Zhen Sixteen's wine jug and took a sip, then handed the wine jug back, waiting for Zhen Sixteen's words.

"There are only two answers, one is that the master overestimated the strength of Black Domain City, thinking that we can defeat these three tribes within a year, this mistake is obviously wrong, the master will not let Black Domain City get into danger, then there is another answer left, the master must have some way to make Black Domain City defeat these three tribes within a year......

Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "What's the way?" ”

"Weapons and equipment!"

Zhen Sixteen Fu hated that iron could not become steel and said: "The biggest advantage of Black Domain City is weapons and equipment, have you forgotten?" ”

"With the current 5,000 recruits in Black Domain City, plus our superior weapons and equipment, we can defeat these three tribes, hum......! Are you a fool when you are a Murway? ”

"You don't agree?"

Zhen Da has never been to the wolf's den, although he knows about the wolf's den, he doesn't know too much, this is Zhen Da's biggest regret, but he also knows that his identity is here, even if Zhen Qian asks him to go to the wolf's den, he will refuse.

What kind of place is the wolf's den, Zhen Da doesn't know, but as long as the people who come out of it, there will be an indescribable arrogance, for example, Zhen Sixteen now, thinking that if the Black Domain City is not superior, it can be made up for with the advantage of weapons and equipment, Zhen Da admits that weapons and equipment can change the strength ratio, but the strength of the Black Domain City is too weak, and it is not at all that the advantage of weapons and equipment can make up for it.

Seeing the disbelief on Zhen Da's face, Zhen Sixteen did not continue to dwell on this issue, after all, it is all empty talk now, and it is not convincing, especially for a more serious person like Zhen Da, it is even more difficult to convince.

"Let's put it this way, Zhen Er and Zhen Eighteen went to the Liaohe Estuary to receive supplies this time, why did they bring two thousand horse-drawn sleighs, the importance of this matter, I don't say that you understand it!"

Compared with Zhen Sixteen, Zhen Da has just entered the core of Black Domain City, but due to Wang Peng's distrust of Zhen Da, Zhen Da doesn't know many things.

"You mean, this time the master will bring a large amount of weapons and equipment?"

"That's for sure! Don't you see how much Uncle Wang attaches importance to this matter? Zhen Sixteen had a bad sentence in his heart and said to Zhen Dazhi, the wolf's den may not be able to do anything else, but it is definitely ingenious in terms of craftsman technology, and the unbelievable designs of the wolf's den are not something ordinary people can think about at all.

"Don't you think it's strange that there are only 5,000 recruits in Black Domain City now, but the number of people trained is more than 15,000?"

Zhen Da nodded and said, "I know? ”

"Hmm!"

Zhen Sixteen took a big sip of wine, took a long sip of wine and said: "Although we only have 5,000 soldiers who can fight now, and the remaining 10,000 militiamen are not much different from ordinary herdsmen, but after all, they have received military training, and they may not have the slightest chance of winning in a head-on fight with the enemy, but the boss thinks about it, if all these people are equipped with repeating bows and crossbows, will they become a long-range strike army of tens of thousands of people, do you dare to say that they have no combat effectiveness?" ”

"This ......!"

Zhen Da's eyes widened suddenly, "This is impossible, 10,000 consecutive shooting bows and crossbows, how is it possible?" ”

Seeing that Zhen Da had already understood, Zhen Sixteen didn't pretend to be pretentious and said: "This is the advantage of weapons and equipment, it can even be said that those women, children, old and young in Black Domain City, as long as they need it, each of them is equipped with a repeating bow and crossbow, how many soldiers did you say there were in Black Domain City at that time?" ”

Zhen Da was completely shocked by Zhen Sixteen's words, in fact, Zhen Da was limited by his own thinking, and subconsciously thought that only soldiers would be issued with bows and crossbows, and it was impossible for everyone to have one, how much financial and material resources would be needed to do it, with the current strength of Black Domain City, it was already impossible to imagine that there would be two thousand bows and crossbows.

The population of Black Domain City is close to 50,000, and the number of people who can shoot arrows is probably not more than 10,000, and then excluding those who can only draw bows and have an average level of archery, the vast majority of them are experiential, and only real cavalry can be regarded as qualified in archery.

But using a bow and crossbow is completely different, even more convenient than training musketeers, as long as you have a strength in your hand, you can pull the bowstring to the firing cam, you can complete a shot, and you don't even need to care about the hit rate, maybe such a crossbowman, a few, a dozen and not much of a threat, but thousands, tens of thousands?

Then the meaning is completely different!

The cavalry is attacking in a dense charging formation, shooting tens of thousands of crossbow arrows head-on, that kind of shocking scene even Zhen Da doesn't dare to think about, unless the opponent has the same armor as his side, then it is a nightmare for the cavalry!

"10,000 repeating crossbows, who did you listen to?" Zhen Da finally couldn't be calm, if this was really the case, he would have the strength to fight with the three tribes such as the Mughure Department, thinking of this, he couldn't wait to grab Zhen Sixteen's neck and ask for clarification, and his heart couldn't help but boil with blood.
