Chapter 19: Big Bargain
The tower stood in the courtyard, and the women fled with their mouths covered when they saw it. Xiao Bai followed Yun Yue into the garden, and seemed to smell the smell of danger. roared and roared, and when he saw the iron tower "slipping", he hid behind Yun Yue. He grinned and continued to roar, but his body would never poke out from behind Yun Yue.
The modified iron tower is now like a demon god in hell, the whole body is covered with black iron armor, and there is a hideous grimace mask on his face, his left hand has become a giant bow, and the joints are covered with iron thorns, and even there is an iron thorn shining with cold light on his forehead, and there is a special quiver on his back, black tail feathers, dense, and the earth seems to tremble with every step.
Perhaps archery has been integrated into his blood, and his right hand is pulled casually. Then there were arrows that flew out like meteors, a full 500 steps. The target five hundred paces away was smaller than an egg, but the black arrows were still nailed one after another. It wasn't until the arrows in the quiver shot out and the target was already densely inserted that the tower breathed a sigh of relief. I shook the nail leaves all over my body, and I felt that it was very light. There is no soreness in the arm, and it doesn't seem to be a big deal to shoot another pot of arrows at this speed.
"Not bad......!" For people with autism, this is already a high rating. Master Geng was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, and immediately lay on his back on the couch. The honest big bolt handed over a red mud teapot very dogleggedly, and the old guy didn't use the teacup to drink "zi" and "zi" to mouth. His face was full of self-satisfaction.
Captain Zuo was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall, my God. What kind of magic skill is this, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have kicked to death the person who told him the news. Five hundred steps, not to mention archery. At my age, I can't even see the bullseye clearly. He can still be hit by arrows. The most bullish condor shooter on the grassland has no such ability. Not to mention the eagle, even if the stars are afraid of this guy, they can shoot down.
A soft sound of "dang" woke Captain Zuo from his dream, and the sound of "jingling" was endless. A hundred paces away, several soldiers were shooting arrows at the tower. Master Geng, who was sitting next to him, didn't seem to be afraid at all, and the arrows were fast and urgent. can shoot on the tower, and all of them will be knocked upside down and fly out.
What kind of armor is this. The Chinese have always been well-armoured. This armor can actually resist bow and arrow shooting, so do the Huns who are good at riding and shooting still have a way to live? In the future, Pingliang will still come less, who dares to tell himself to attack Pingliang. Just let him go on by himself, and the old man will watch the enemy behind him. Too dangerous!
The condor archers in the steppes are armed with hard bows, and each time they shoot a certain number of arrows. You have to rest for a long time, usually seven days, or your arm will be gone. The most powerful condor archer opens a five-stone bow, and can shoot eleven arrows in a row after shooting 300 steps. The guy in front of him shot fifty arrows in a row, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. Look like this. Fifty more arrows will be fine.
This guy is simply a fortress on the battlefield. but to stand at the head of the city, with one enemy and a hundred ...... No, one enemy is not a problem. With enough arrows, he alone could crush a thousand-man team.
"Yunhou, who is this?" Captain Zuo asked in surprise. He had already woken up after drinking the wine, and now he was most concerned about who this guy was. How many such guys are there in Pingliang City.
"Oh, he's called the Tower, and he's my guard. Last time I went to the royal court. He also went. The one who often plays barbecue, I asked Mr. Geng to make a pair of armor for him. It looks like it fits perfectly! β
"I've seen Master Hou!" Master Geng saw Yun Yue coming. Immediately stood up and bowed to Yun Yue.
"The iron tower is not bad, how did you transform it to shoot so far at five hundred paces?" Yun Yue did not shy away from Captain Zuo at all, and talked to Master Geng as if no one was around.
"It's just the way Hou Ye added an eccentric wheel, and it was slightly transformed. The bow is made of purple wood, which is strong and tough. Our flesh is so weak in the face of the organs, in the face of the powerful mechanical forces. The strength of the flesh is almost impossible to fight back. Even if it's a tiger now, what about the tower?
The armor used the kind of sulfuric acid that Hou Ye said, which was very useful, and the old man found that it would not rust even if it rained. It's a miracle, except that the sulfuric acid seems to burn your hands. A Qiang slave reaches into the bucket. When I took it out, the skin was already burned. β
The by-product of iron ore mining is iron sulfide, which can be distilled from crushing and heating with water. Yun Yue made sulfuric acid at home a few days ago, and threw it to Master Geng when she couldn't think of any use for the time being. Unexpectedly, this old guy actually came up with the idea of using sulfuric acid for passivation, so that the armor would not rust again.
Now the Yun family's armor can be cleaned with water at will, and they are not afraid of getting wet with rain. During the Warring States period, this was unique.
"This person, the old man is willing to exchange five thousand Chinese slaves!" Captain Zuo, who came to his senses, immediately made an offer, such a demon god is definitely the most reliable support for the hegemony of the grassland.
Yun Yue turned her head and looked at Captain Zuo like an idiot. "Will you trade your hands and feet with someone?"
"Eight thousand ......! Ten thousand...... 10,000 is always fine! In order to get this demon god, Captain Zuo did not hesitate to offer his highest price.
The imperial court sent reinforcements, only three thousand. The equipment is so tattered that people want to cry, and people have to shine a little bit in this life. I don't care if I use the Qiang people as chopping wood to burn Yunyue, but I don't want to use the Sanqin father and elder as chopping wood. If you are of the same clan and clan, you can't equip them with some good armor.
It's a fact that the Qin army is good at fighting, but you can't always pour them some chicken soup for the soul like Old Qin. Then let them take rudimentary weapons and go to war again and again against the well-armed Wei warriors. If you fight a war, you will die, and if your head falls off, you won't be able to grow new one the next day. It only takes a few months to make a pair of armor, but it takes eighteen years for a warrior to be born and fit for war.
Mai is lightly dressed and holds a spear. Yun Yue really wanted to go to Xianyang, and spat on King Zhuang Xiang and Lu Buwei's face. Just relying on the spirit to fight, then the fucking devil soldiers. Sanqin old pawn is not so bad!
LΓΌ Buwei is quite kind, except that the blades are old goods from more than ten years ago. People are also old goods from more than ten years ago, a bearded uncle of Yishui. After searching the roster for a long time, I couldn't find a single one under the age of thirty. You must know that in these days, the average age of people is definitely not more than 40 years old.
Yun Yue actually found a few one-armed people in the team, which is very good. didn't send a few nursing dolls, otherwise Yunyue would have to raise two cows or hire a group of wet nurses.
The Yun family's air pressure was a little low, and Hou Ye didn't have a good face since he came back from outside the city. Everyone shrank their necks, and the backyard became a forbidden place for the Yun family, and even the little girls didn't have the courage to go in.
smashed the table and smashed the bench, stood in the courtyard and pointed at the sky and scolded Lu Buwei. Master Geng's Danqing is good, so he painted a portrait of LΓΌ Buwei on the silk cloth, and he will be the target of the tower in the future.
Xia Ju saw Yun Yue lose such a temper for the first time, and followed Yun Yue to point at God and scold for a long time. Then he helped Yun Yue wipe his chest and back, but he didn't dare to make her husband angry.
"Husband! What the hell is going on. I've never seen you get so angry, and Lu Xiang provoked you again? Xia Ju poured a cup of tea and saw that Yun Yue didn't drink it, so she raised her neck and poured it down. I was too involved in scolding just now, and my voice was a little hoarse.
The old ginger on the side was like a fox who had eaten a fat chicken, and he smiled mysteriously. Seeing that Yun Yue stopped, he stepped forward and said, "Master Hou, we have taken a big advantage." β
"What?" Yun Yue's eyes widened, and she stared at Lao Jiang. It's just that because of the situation, plus it won't, I didn't give Lao Jiang a pulse. This old thing is not Parkinson's, or a precursor to Alzheimer's!
"Master Hou, you only see that those are old men, but the old man knows that these are old pawns. It is a fluke to survive a battle on the battlefield, and it may be luck to survive twice. Look at many of these guys are wounded by war, obviously not only after one or two battles.
Veterans who have survived a hundred battles are treasures! Don't talk about others, just talk about my old Wu Changpang housekeeper. A whistle stick, even Ao Canghai has to be afraid of three points. On top of the battle array, there is a way to kill a fierce general like Ao Canghai in one blow.
Old man, look, these people are here today. Many of them are such tough people, and since ancient times, the Qin army has been powerful in Shandong. As long as you look at their eyes, the old man knows that the old man can't do more than three tricks in the hands of many of them.
Lu Xiang only chose people based on age this time, but in the end, Wenchen didn't know anything about military affairs. But I didn't know that Hou Ye picked up a big bargain this time. It's like a battle like Bailuyuan, if these old pawns are fighting. At least the casualties will be reduced by 30%, and the kills will be increased by 30%. β
After Lao Jiang finished speaking, Yun Yue immediately got angry, right! Veterans are the treasure of the army, and these old guys are sorred in battle. They are all Sanqin veterans who rolled over in the sea of blood in the sword mountain, but they are much more powerful than their original group of baby soldiers.
"Old Jiang, you go and tell Li Si. Don't care about Qin Lu, send more cattle and sheep to the camp outside the city. Tell the old men to stay in a tent for a few days. Even if the Hou vacated the Hou Mansion, he would definitely let them live in a hot brick house before winter. β
The Great Qin military discipline is strict, and according to the Qin law, the meals eaten at each meal vary depending on the title. The third-level jue (hairpin) has a bucket of polished rice, half a liter of sauce, and a plate of vegetable soup. Those who are "made" with two-level titles can only eat coarse rice, and it is good that ordinary soldiers without titles can fill their stomachs.
At this time, it is better to wait for the people to buy people's hearts. It can be seen that most of these old guys are not living well. First of all, we must ensure that they eat well, and then we have a good house. Good food, good drink, and good hospitality are excellent means of buying for these ordinary soldiers.
Lao Jiang said "oh" and went out, and Yun Yue changed the decadence just now. Excited in the house, the donkey whirling like a mill. (To be continued.) )
