Although Zhao Guangde was much more capable than before, he was still a little shy in the face of Han Hu, who was as beautiful as jade and better than ninety percent of women in the world, so he looked at Duanmu Ci diagonally opposite.

Zigong knew that before he came, he had already received Zhao Wuxian's instructions, and he was fully responsible for today's lobbying, which was also Zigong's first battle as a returner!

So he tended to attend, and respectfully saluted Han Hu and said, "What Han Zi said is true, we do intend to borrow troops. After leaving the state and county, it is necessary to pass through Huaiyi and Xiuwu, and travel more than 100 miles east to reach the Jianjin Ferry, which is a long distance during the period, and is within the jurisdiction of Fan's Chaoge. Now the gentleman only has ten leather chariots and four hundred soldiers, if the Fan family sends troops to stop it, I am afraid that he will not be defeated, and I hope that Han Zi can send troops to help. ”

Han Hu said with a hesitant face: "Fang Mu, the sixth secretary of the Jin Kingdom, why would the Fan family do something to openly intercept the mission?" Since it has always been within the Jin Kingdom's feudal territory, why bother to move heavy troops? ”

At this time, the Fan family, the Zhao family, and even the Han family's transmission car to report the news arrived in Taihang, and Han Hu naturally didn't know the complicated changes. And in his heart, he was not willing to help Zhao Wuxian.

Although Zhao Han is friendly, the two are only general friends, and Han Hu is still angry about his cousin Bolu being snubbed and the position of the prince almost taken away by Zhao Wuxian.

"My gentleman is for the sake of the reputation of the Han family, no matter what, Lebo was assassinated in the Han family's territory, if Han Zi does not send someone to escort his coffin, I am afraid it will not be justified."

Han Hu smiled slightly, and said helplessly: "But my Han clan has always had rules, and I have more than 100 troops. Will be the Tiger Talisman...... It's not up to me to do it. I also ask Zigong to convey it to me, please forgive Zitai. ”

Seeing that Han Hu was perfunctory, Zigong deliberately sighed and said: "In the past, when Han Xianzi was lost in his childhood and was helpless, Zhao Chengzi raised him in Zhao Cheng and regarded him as a parent; When he arrived at Zhao Xuanzi, he took Han Xianzi as the military commander. entrusted with heavy responsibilities and trust, ranking below the six secretaries; When Han Xuanzi was a friend, he was friends with Zhao Wenzi, he was a secretary together, and he was honored and went on the expedition together; Han Zhenzi and Zhao Jingzi are also friends, and the Zhao family is also willing to exchange the rich Pingyang for the barren Mashou County. ”

This is the history of the Zhao family's favor to the Han family, and the relationship between the two families is too close, and they talk about it one by one. Han Hu also knew that this was all true, and his face was a little unbearable for a while.

But I heard Zigong continue to say aloud: "The poem says, hum its song, ask for its friend's voice, and ask for its friend's voice." The Zhao and Han families have their own family mottos. If the other side is in trouble. The two families have supported each other for more than 100 years before they have today's status and territory. Who would have thought that today, Han Zi would not be willing to send a brigade of soldiers for my gentleman and send a crowd, I don't know how Han Xianzi and Han Xuanzi would feel if they knew under the Nine Shadows? ”

Zigong's logic is clear and his speech is sharp, and Han Hu is thin-skinned and ashamed when he hears it. Hurriedly avoided the banquet and saluted Zigong and said: "Good, Zigong is worthy of the name of the scholar, but I was not thoughtful, so I sent someone to lead the way for Zitai." But the Han family rules cannot be violated, and with Han Hu's ability, he can only provide a personal soldier. ”

After hearing this, Zigong secretly said that the gentleman was not bad, even if the Han family was willing to help, he would not give too much.

Therefore, Zigong saluted Han Hu again and said: "How can you bother Han Zi's own soldiers, the gentleman said, if this is the case, there is no need to reluctantly send troops, and it will save Han Zi embarrassment, it is better to ......"

Han Hu's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly: "What's better?" ”

Zigong smiled: "Why don't you lend the more than 200 crossbow machines in the treasury of Hanzi's mansion to my gentleman, this thing is better than a hundred soldiers......"

……

After being persuaded by Zigong, Han Hu was also generous and generous, and lent all the secret weapons built by the Han clan at one time. After all, he has already made a statement, since he is willing to borrow even a living guard, let alone a dead instrument?

After hearing the news, Zhao Wuxian, who was dressed in plain manuscripts, immediately went to thank Han Hu, and took Wen County's apprentices with Zhao Guangde to receive the two hundred crossbow machines.

Under the leadership of the two pawn commanders named Su Shouyu and Wen Li, two hundred Wen County magistrates dressed in Ge cloth clothes stood on the school ground, and they were also curiously looking at the weapons that Fang had just moved here.

Zhao Wuxian paced by, and found that these Wenxian county soldiers had immature faces, and they stood crookedly, and their discipline and equipment were not a little worse than those of the people in Chengxiang and even the Le's soldiers.

"Have you ever been on the battlefield?"

The county guards looked at each other, a little timidly afraid to answer.

Su Shouyu, the head of the pawn, said: "So that the doctor knows that these are selected sons of good families of the country, who have only shot and hunted during autumn hunting and winter searching, and have never fought in battle." ”

Zhao Wuxian nodded slightly, and asked them to abandon their spears and crossbows, and start training from today to wind, aim, and fire them together after hearing the sound.

And without mercy himself, he also picked up a crossbow machine that had just been transported out of the treasury, and after turning over and observing, he found that it was almost exactly the same as the one that Han Hu gave him as a crown gift half a month ago. But many places are still very primitive, compared to the novice crossbow that Zhao Wuxian used to shoot the blind assassin Gu Yezi.

Zhao's crossbowmen, Wuxian are also in the process of creating, but before they can be formed, they met this envoy. On the contrary, the Han family, who got the crossbow machine style earlier, has already built hundreds of them and stored them in the treasury of various places.

Wuxian secretly thought: "No wonder the Han clan can rank among the three Jins, and they are even more famous for their crossbows during the Warring States period, presumably from this era, they have already attached importance to cultivating crossbowmen." ”

They don't have a sense of secrecy, so they don't know about it. After all, most people, including Han Buxin and Han Hu's grandson, just play with the crossbow as a rare thing of ingenuity, and have not yet realized the magic and power of this weapon.

Therefore, the Han clan had built a weapon, and it was too late to equip the soldiers, but it was cheaper than Zhao Wuxian.

The Han crossbow is composed of a wooden crossbow arm, a bamboo bow body, a bowstring made of cow and deer tendons, and a bronze crossbow machine. But there was no aiming for Wangshan, so he tried to shoot a shot at the wooden target on the school field, and found that the pulling force was only one stone, and the effective range did not exceed 50 steps.

The primitive wooden crossbow was not difficult to make, and it may have appeared in the Yin Shang period, but it was not widely used, and it was used at most to shoot pheasants, rabbits and other small prey.

The craftsman Qin of the Chu State had an idea in the wave of the Wu State's invasion. He "bowed his arms." Cast the machine and set up the pivot", thus inventing the crossbow. After installing the bronze machine, the performance of the crossbow was further improved, so that it could be used in the military, and the Chu people used this thing to drive out the Wu people.

This can be regarded as a revolution in long-range weapons.

From the perspective of the firing principle, the crossbow and the bow are the same, both use the bow to store energy. Then convert it into kinetic energy by rapidly closing the string, and bounce the arrow forward.

The difference between them is mainly manifested in the following two aspects, one is to draw the bow only by the strength of the human arm, no matter how strong the human strength is, the pulling force of the two arms is limited after all, so it is impossible to open the bow for a long time, you need to aim quickly, and release the arrow as soon as possible. The second is that the strength of the bow cannot exceed the strength of a person's arm, otherwise it will not be able to pull away. Therefore, the range is limited, and it is not possible to shoot multiple arrows with a single bow.

The crossbow is different, because it pulls the bow that is mounted horizontally on the arm, and first attaches the string to the tooth, and if the tooth is loosened without pulling the hanging knife, the string will not be retracted. Therefore, it is possible to delay the launch. There is plenty of time to aim. You can also hold Fu Ya and wait for a favorable opportunity. Since the arrow path is the same, it can also be fired in a straight salvo, giving full play to the power of the weapon.

The requirements for the user of the crossbow are also relatively low, unlike the bow, which requires long-term training, and a weak woman or an old pawn can also shoot a light crossbow to kill people at close range. Therefore, the two hundred apprentices who were temporarily selected, although they had to practice the superb crossbow technique, also needed a long time to become familiar with it. But it can be done with a simple winding flat lift and pulling the suspension knife to shoot the crossbow.

Through previous experiments, he also discovered the shortcomings of the crossbow, first of all, the crossbow is slower than the bow and is not flexible enough, especially not conducive to shooting the enemy between rapid movements. The second is that the stronger the power of the crossbow, the longer the process of preparing the crossbow for launch, so the launch is slow.

However, Zhao Wuxian also took into account the military limitations of his time, especially in the Central Plains, where chariots were still the main force in field warfare, the armor rate of soldiers was extremely low, and the heavy infantry phalanx had not yet fully risen.

What's more, he also has a clever trick from the afterlife to make up for this shortcoming.

In any case, Zhao Wuxian had a little more confidence in this trip, if Chaoge's Fan clan soldiers dared to stop him, with these two hundred crossbowmen, plus two hundred armor soldiers, and ten chariots provided by Wen County, he was confident that he would kill twice as many enemies as himself!

On the other side of the school grounds, Chen Dingguo, the priest of the Le clan, was also inspecting more than 100 Le clan soldiers.

The Song people are tough and stubborn, good at defense, always like to carry a wooden shield, and they are good at using swords, so most of them are sword and shield soldiers, these people are the elite of Le's, and they are not worse than the soldiers of Chengxiang.

Chen Dingguo said loudly: "The death of the lord is the shame of the Le family, and it is also the shame of us, can the second and third sons know, who assassinated the lord?" ”

The soldiers of the Le clan shook their heads blankly, but there was a hope in their eyes, they wanted to know who the murderer was, so as to avenge Le Qi. Le Qi adheres to the family motto of "not being greedy", and is very kind to the countrymen and savages in the various territories of the Le family. In the event of a disaster, the grain in the treasury will be lent to the people, but the IOU will not be written, that is, the people will not be asked to return it.

His love is like his parents, and it will go into the water, which makes the people of Le's country very respectful and loyal to Le Qi.

So, when they heard this, they all gritted their teeth with hatred, and after Chen Dingguo said that on the way back to China, they might be stopped by Fan, they were even more indignant. So everyone vowed to follow Zhao Wuxian, who was equivalent to half of Le's master, to kill all the Fan Xiaoxiao who came to die, and let them bury Le Qi.

This was naturally what Zhao Wuxian instructed Chen Dingguo to do, and after he taught the queue and archery, he arranged for Wu Jing, who was good at organization, to take the crossbowmen for training, and he himself entered the temporary mourning hall set up for Le Qi again.

It's already a cold winter, and there is ice in the coffin, so there is no need to worry about Le Qi's body decomposing for the time being, but inside, it is so cold that the bones are numb.

Wuxian took the fur robe in the hand of the Han maid and draped it on the shoulder of Le Lingzi, who was kneeling on the couch in a daze.

The girl has lost her former agility, only misery and sadness.

"My father has always been kind to people, not arrogant or extravagant, and strictly obeyed Le's family motto of not being greedy, and did his best for both public and private affairs, why did he suffer such a sin?" Thinking of the short spear that pierced Le Qi's chest, Le Lingzi felt a heartache.

Wuxian stroked her hair and swore: "Lebo is like my father, and the revenge of killing my father is not shared." I will find out all the people who do this, I will sleep every day by pronouncing their names, and I will make them pay whenever I have the chance! ”

Le Lingzi shook his head, took Wuxian's hand and said: "I have no father, I can't be without a gentleman, Lingzi just wants to go home now, take my father home." ”

Zhao Wuxian knelt beside her and bowed to Le Qi's coffin again: "Shan, I will take you and Le Bo, and we will go home together!" (To be continued~^~)
