In the blue sky, there were eagles whirling under the clouds that were slowly fluttering by the wind like cotton, and the eagle's whistling was covered by the invective that came and went, one after another, and at a certain moment, an arrow rose into the sky, and the eagle that had just swooped down was suddenly shot down by an arrow, fluttering its wings and falling in the open space between the two sides, and then another arrow, another arrow, and the eagle shook a few times on the ground three hundred paces away from the camp, and lost its breath.

"Jihou is very capable."

On the lookout, several soldiers and Yang Feng praised Gongsun Chan who was holding a crossbow, and Gongsun Chan returned the crossbow to a soldier and smiled, "With this small ruler calibration, where is the ability." You don't know, in the past, when we practiced crossbows, there was no room for mistakes, and if we were one or two steps away, it would be considered that the martial arts were not perfect, and the crossbow officer would be sentenced to a cane. For example, if a certain family goes in to practice his craft with the identity of Taishou, it is the same, and it can be regarded as a skill. However, at the beginning, there were crossbowmen who followed the example of the ancients, pulling out the small ruler and shooting the target with their eyesight, and the arrow was not missing, so it was called a real ability. ”

He looked at the three soldiers who were a little nervous holding the crossbow, "Don't be afraid, if someone comes, shoot it, with this small ruler about calibration, this thing can shoot people in a few times, and if there are many people, it is better to do whatever you want." As for the arrows, don't be afraid to waste them, a certain family will never blame you. In the final analysis, it's also the problem of this yellow room. This deviation of two or three catties, the small size is not accurate, and it was built in order to catch up with the schedule. If it is an official government, it is a few catties and a handful of pounds to be recorded, and the small ruler will also be calibrated, and there is no room for error. That kind of crossbow, but anyone who is a little skilled, as long as he aims for a long time, will not shoot inaccurately. Now, relax. ”

There are about 2,000 of these ten-stone rhubarb crossbows, and a large part of them were privately made by Xun Yu after he served as the Taishou of Liaodong, of course, including sixty bed crossbows and one hundred artillery carriages, in fact, they were all instigated by Gongsun Zhan.

After learning that Liu Zheng and others had the invention of a horseshoe, Gongsun Zhan combined with the private study of the farm that belonged to Liu Zheng in the past, and thought that Liu Zheng may have raised a group of skilled craftsmen, and then confirmed it, and negotiated with Xun Yu, and at the same time let go of his own military talisman, he also talked about the cooperation in war equipment.

Xun Yu naturally agreed in this regard. After all, this time it is iron-hearted to make Wuhuan completely surrender, completely dilute Wuhuan into China, and it is expected that the situation in Youzhou will become extremely tense.

On the other hand, causing such a big disaster, Liu Yu temporarily acquiesced to their nonsense under Lu Zhi's control, and Xun Yu was also afraid that he would be unloaded and killed the donkey, which would make all these years of efforts in vain, and this batch of ordnance actually had the intention of deterring others.

So after learning that Gongsun Chan knew how these ordnance was made, the two sides hit it off, and then Gongsun Chan disappeared from everyone's field of vision, in addition to dispatching his 20,000 horses, in fact, he was also in the dark to point out the manufacture of crossbows, bed crossbows, and gun carriages - the former was actually just a matter of a few letters, and the latter was the main reason for his disappearance. If it weren't for the fact that the place didn't let his people in, he would have some selfish intentions, and even had the intention to create a waist-opening crossbow with a greater pull force to train a group of people to serve this war.

However, it was only during Gongsun Zhan's more than a month of living in a remote valley in the Taihang Mountains in the northwest of Zhuo County that he learned what kind of background Liu Zheng and others had—and even he saw the grand plans of Liu Zheng and Xunyu hidden in the depths of their hearts.

R&D of repeaters, casting of a thing called sleeve arrows, improvement of the mode of shaft furnace ironmaking, and even trying to break through the current inherent mode of using relatively expensive copper to cast arrow clusters in large quantities, and develop a new form of iron arrows...... This kind of revolutionary and new thing turned out to be something that Liu Zheng was pondering through Zhang Ke four years ago.

In addition, he also learned from a group of craftsmen that there was another large group of people, and even the million Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou also had many people of different identities and statuses involved, and in the past two or three years, they have improved saltpeter, tuntian, military training, business, drawing maps, and participated in the fabrication of books on geography and humanities......

Moreover, after his bribery and co-opting of craftsmen were discovered by Xun Yu's people, he was taken to a cave deep in the valley, where he even saw a large number of letters from Lu Zhi, Xun Shuang, Zheng Xuan and several other famous people.

Among them, he made a lot of dialectics about the imperial examination system proposed by Liu Zheng and the current probationary examination system, and also discussed the pros and cons of vigorously opening up books and setting up libraries, and even made some assumptions about whether the country should be governed by the rule of law or Confucianism, or the way of governing the country with law as the main and Confucianism as the supplement, and sorted out some feasible plans for local experiments. As for some traditional scriptures, commentaries, debates, and even various skill summaries, there are countless of them.

To Gongsun Zhan's surprise, he was allowed to enter the cave, not because Xun Yu and those people broke the pot after he was helpless, but tried to let him participate in the dialectic of those views as a general.

And after he resisted doing things for Liu Zheng in his heart, and at the same time planned to refuse because he wanted to capture his old people, someone also let him read the summary of Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Zhu Jun, Huangfu Song and others and related people on the art of war and military discipline.

According to those people, these things were all sorted out by Liu Zheng and Xun Yu either entrusted by Lu Zhi, or from the correspondence with Cao Cao and Sun Jian, in order to brainstorm and let the Han Dynasty move towards a better future. In the future, these books will also be passed down from generation to generation by the authors, benefiting future generations, and if possible, they will even be handed over to the little emperor as a reference material for the little emperor and those relatives of the emperor to read in the future.

The royal classics of the emperors and nobles have benefited their descendants...... The temptation is not small, no worse than the substantive ordnance and equipment, of course, Gongsun Zhan was also surprised in his heart, and his face was "reluctantly difficult" to cooperate, and after that, he also saw from these contents that what Liu Zheng and others did was to really want to Sanxing Han, even to rescue the little emperor, and plan to go south to fight against Dong Zhuo, that was also sincere - what he thought of Liu Zheng made him the Marquis of Ji, and restrained him from staying away from Youzhou to fight against Dong Zhuo, but he was narrow-minded.

It is also because of this that Gongsun Zhan was in Guangning that day and revealed that he was going to shock China this time, and his mood was extremely complicated.

In fact, he was a little nostalgic for that valley, and felt that his military talent and many whimsical ideas had been fully utilized, and at the same time, he had learned a lot there, and the pattern was no longer confined to the remote corner of Youzhou.

On the other hand, that day was also the time when he really wanted to unite the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army related to Liu Zheng to display his military talents, but deep down in his heart, he went from the confidence when he turned Liu Zheng into an imaginary enemy, to the feeling that he was helping Liu Zheng do things that day, and he was extremely unconvinced in his heart but had to participate because of utilitarianism, and that gap made him feel a sense of frustration and depression in his heart.

Of course, two months have passed, these complicated feelings have slowly faded, a while ago when Bao Ru led his troops to detour to Shanggu to send him these parts of ordnance and a group of craftsmen, he also made fun of Bao Ru for a while, which can be regarded as temporarily and completely letting go of his malice towards Liu Zheng, and began to try to contact the surrounding people related to Liu Zheng, and treat each other with courtesy.

Speaking of which, Bao Ru's house is also declining, this time he cooperated with Xun Cai, but did not get any benefits, but was scolded by many people, and he has been discouraged, of course, he has already been mentally prepared for this matter, that is, to fight to make him feel uneasy.

In addition, what made him most worried was that his concubine really gave birth to another daughter in mid-August, and the words of the head of the family, Bow, who was originally slapped in the face, were slapped in the face by himself, and he was also sneered at by many people in the Bao family.

At the same time, the name of "Bao Sanniang", who has been "talked about" by Bu Ji and others, is not only pressed on his daughter, but also completely confirmed on him, for him, it is simply a shame in life - the only comfort is that Liu Zheng joked that if he really gave birth to Bao Sanniang, he would be Guan Yu's son as a mother-in-law, this matter can be put on the agenda, and he did send a letter to Jixian.

It's just that Guan Yu was stationed outside the city, knowing that the two children were born but couldn't go to see them, so he was holding his breath, so he never replied.

Nowadays, many people have begun to be demons, and they talk to Bao Ru about doll kissing every day, which makes him annoyed, but the jokes of Xun Yu, Xun You, Gongsun Zan and others actually make him happy. Especially when Gongsun Yue and Xiahou Yan just gave birth to a son, Gongsun Chan was ready to accept him as a righteous son, and he also came to propose marriage, which made Bao Ru waver between Guan Yu and Gongsun Yue, and was happy to worry.

"What are they doing? You're not really going to be poisoned, are you? ”

A soldier's reminder suddenly sounded in his ears, Gongsun Zhan looked at the group of Wuhuan cavalry who were scolding in nonsense, and saw that there was a squad in front of the phalanx that broke away from the phalanx and headed towards the south of the camp. When the bank of the water river passed, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he put down a trumpet-shaped bronze vessel in his hand that was said to be advocated by Liu Zheng for shouting, and then went down the steps to the watchtower.

Yang Feng climbed down, and after the end, he asked Gongsun Chan what he was doing, and Gongsun Chan shouted while sprinting towards the southern camp: "Blame me." I just talked to you about lime, and I talked a few more words about the plague, don't you keep thinking about it, and you have talked about avenging the champion...... Wuhuan and the others must have thought of the plague, if they are really mad and go upstream from the opposite side of the river bank to poison them, it will be useless for us to dig a well, and it will be all over. ”

"Won't you...... Aren't they ...... too?"

"Wu Huan has learned a lot since he came into contact with me, Hermes-Epitek, and there is no shortage of wise people. I'm waiting for this time to prepare them to put aside their identity as Wuhuan and completely become Han Chinese, smart people can see through, the more they see, but the more they think. At this time, I waited to come prepared, those people can't be angry, smart people think that we are one of the masterminds, so they simply go crazy, and would rather be more cumbersome, from the small village where the Yu Zhuqi tribe stayed, to go around the long way to fetch water, but also to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, it is not impossible. ”

Yang Feng's face tightened, and he saw Gongsun Zhan pull a horse and jump on, and suddenly laughed, "It's just a joke." It's enough to make them throw a mouse. I'm just going to see what I can do with it. This time they should have set up camp. Since the scolding formation has little effect, you can only find a chance to fight. Raise the flag and let everyone rest for a while. Those who are willing to scold continue to go on. ”

Yang Feng hurriedly went over to pass the order, and here Gongsun Zhan patted his horse and swept through the camp tents, as far as the eye could see, many of the camp tents were full of logs, arrows, spears, and other ordnance that had been transported from all over the place in the past two months, and the grain was even piled up in the tents, in addition, there were even a few wells in the camp tents to paralyze the enemy, so as to use the depletion of water sources as bait to start a war.

It is worth mentioning that because the water source in the north is not abundant, there are a few wells that are not so deep, and they have become dry wells.

He rode to the south of the camp, where there were several tents with artisans busy.

Six days ago, there was a heavy rain, there was a bracket set up in the camp tent because the ground was wet and a pillar was poured, and the bottles and cans containing oil and filth in it were shattered, because it involved the war, not to be sloppy, Gongsun Chan simply asked people to re-strengthen the shelves of a nearby storage jar, but he didn't expect it to be completed so far, he thought that after the war began, these things were consumed quickly, so he reminded him to focus on the cans in the camp tent that had not been reinforced, and instructed those craftsmen to take some soldiers to check the nearby fence, Then he went up to the watchtower.

In the field of vision, those Wuhuan people in the distance were obviously fetching water when they arrived at the riverbank, and farther away, behind the Wuhuan cavalry phalanx, there seemed to be many people who were going back and forth between the phalanx and the riverbank to fetch water with carts.

"Stationed here? It's less than ten miles away from us......"

Gongsun Zhan raised his eyebrows, listened to the movement behind him, and when he saw Yang Feng coming up, he immediately smiled, "When you get along with horses on weekdays, do you know that there is a thing that will always mess up the horses' work?" ”

Yang Feng knew that Gongsun Zan was mentioning himself again, his expression narrowed, and then he hesitated a little embarrassedly: "Eat? ”

"......" Gongsun Chan turned his head, holding back a smile, and looked at the cavalry phalanx, as well as the scene of water transportation in full swing, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Flies." Flies will fly around on the horse's buttocks, and the horse will have to do things and use its tail to chase flies, and it will be distracted. ”

Yang Feng breathed tightly, "Ji Hou means that I wait to go out......"

"Well, don't they dare to talk back? Move ten artillery wagons to this side, the distance is not enough, and move them out of the camp until you can hit the river. Then he will move the horses from the east away for me, and a thousand men with shields and a thousand men with crossbows will make a provocation. In addition, two thousand cavalry are on standby, and when to charge look at my gestures. ”

Gongsun Zhan patted the guardrail, his face became fierce, "Just now, a certain family shot eagles, they must be guessing how many yellow rooms we are waiting for, this time we are waiting for a while." If they dare to go up, it is naturally good, but if they have scruples, their morale will be low after that, and the enemy will be destroyed just around the corner. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the frustrated city wall to the north, "Tsk, I knew that it was so smooth, and I shouldn't have withdrawn all the people and horses besieging the city." This time the background was revealed, and he was probably sent out by Ou Dun to find out the news from the other two city gates. Maybe it will give him more thoughts......"

Yang Feng didn't seem to listen, and looked at Gongsun Zhan with a strange face at the same time as a few soldiers, "Jihou is planning to let them eat us...... I'm going to be poisoned? ”

"Shhhh Don't talk, it's oil, it's oil, you know? I just ate and drank a lot yesterday, don't make me want to throw up. Especially the wine sent by the bird's house in Otun...... It's always made me sick. ”

Gongsun Chan made a silent gesture, and then couldn't help laughing, "According to the usual practice, I will also deal with the march and battle in the past, keep the camp clean, or use it for siege purposes, but I didn't expect that the disposal of filth in Deran's epidemic prevention policy actually made me have more plans to attack my heart." Gee...... De Ran is really a sinister and cunning person, Captain Yang, we still have to take warning. ”

Seeing Gongsun Zhan's playful expression, Yang Feng and the others nodded in unison, but their faces were a little frivolous.

Soon after, the horses on the east and south sides of the camp were pulled apart, and a shield wall of a thousand men was spread out on the east side of the camp in full view, and a thousand more were hiding behind the shield wall.

At the same time, outside the south of the camp, ten sports cars were ready to go, and many soldiers were in high spirits to carry cans back and forth.

Under the puzzled gaze of Wei Dun, Wu Yan and others, ten sports cars suddenly launched in unison, and ten canisters fell into the river along the long parabola, snapping...... Eight canisters burst open when they smashed into the water, and the river was black and diluted in the water.

Then, the 2,000 soldiers on the east side of the camp shouted, "Wuhuan dog thief, shrunken turtle!" Taste the dry arrows we are waiting for! Wuhuan dog thief, shrink his head ......"
