Chapter 381: Fort Foreign Legion

readx;?“ Robin Hood arrows" Du Yande couldn't help blurting out, "It's a miracle to shoot this effect"

"This isn't a miracle," Blue Grass said, drawing out three more arrows, three more arrows directly at the trunk of a tree about fifty meters away. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info, please search and see the most complete, updated and fastest novel Du Yande Although he can't see the situation of the arrow shooting, he clearly sees the action of the blue grass archery. First of all, the action of holding the three arrows in his hand is different from that of the archers he usually sees on TV, he holds the arrows between his fingers, the arrows that need to be fired are pinched and drawn with his index finger and thumb, and the arrows that are not fired are placed backwards on his shoulder. He does not shoot arrows with his right hand, as the so-called archers do, but pushes the bow forward with his left hand. After shooting an arrow, Bluegrass moved his fingers, and deftly threw the next arrow between his index finger and thumb, and easily placed the arrow on the bowstring, and then shot the arrow with the same force with both hands.

The three arrows flew into the distance, the bowstring made three consecutive "bang, bang" sounds, and Du Yande and several elders ran quickly to the target. Only then did I see that there were three arrows stuck in the trunk of the target, but the first arrow was split by the second arrow, and the second arrow was exploded by the third arrow, and the shaft of the arrow that exploded from the middle was hanging on the trunk, leaving only the third arrow relatively intact on the trunk.

After far from the ghost knot learned by the moon enemy

"It's amazing," Zeng Zhigang couldn't help but exclaim, "This is much more powerful than a gun, the only pity is that the range is not far enough." ”

Lan Cao couldn't help but rub the tip of his nose with his right hand with some pride, "Only my archery technique is the best in our tribe, and this kind of miracle archery you are talking about is not particularly difficult." As he spoke, he ripped off the only remaining arrow from the trunk, looked at the cluster of arrows on it, and said regretfully, "Unfortunately, the three arrow clusters are useless." So saying, he took off the shaft of the arrow and put it in the quiver.

Du Yande picked up the arrow cluster he dropped, and after a closer look, he found that the arrow cluster was not made of metal, but was made of bone and stone, this kind of arrow is okay to shoot soft targets, but it is easy to damage when used to shoot hard targets such as wood. "Why don't you use iron arrowheads," Yang Minghuan on the side asked curiously, "Iron arrows are far harder than these things, and the killing effect is better." ”

"I want to," said Bluegrass with a helpless expression, "we have iron arrowheads, but they are so hard to come by, and we can burn them red by burning them with fire, but we can't re-smelt them anyway." We used bronze arrowheads before, but then we found that the bronze arrowheads were still too soft, so we went around, and only this kind of bone or stone arrowhead was more suitable. The only downside is that it's easy to break. ”

The feud is not far away, and the ship hates to take Yang Sun too much

"Hehe, the melting point of iron is very high, it can reach about 1,500 degrees, and the burning temperature of wood and other things in nature is about 800 to 1,300 degrees, which cannot reach the melting point of iron at all, and to reach the melting point of iron, you can basically only rely on coke or reverberatory furnaces and other things." Yang Minghuan suddenly talked eloquently, and what he said was the Tao, and the other three elders were stunned, and as for Lan Cao, he was even more stupid on the spot, he didn't know how to understand these things.

"Don't look at me like that, someone in my family used to work in an ironworks, and if it weren't for the pollution from the coking plant, which made me have some breathing problems since I was a child, I might have been a steelworker." Yang Minghuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Ironmaking and steelmaking are serious matters, and it is not something that can be rushed by anyone who popularizes smelting knowledge. In the era of the big convulsions, the steel smelting was hot, so hot that it went off the line, so that the people of the whole country came to make iron and steel, and even the pots and pots at home were taken away to make iron and steel, and in the end, not to mention polluting the environment, countless steel were smelted and wasted, causing a terrible waste. ”

Lan Cao could only learn from Yang Minghuan shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Although I don't understand all the things you said, I feel very powerful when I hear it, can you make iron arrows there?"

"If you join our naturalized people, let alone iron arrows, even pistols will have a chance." Yang Mu Qin smiled and immediately threw out a new bait without losing a chance. Bluegrass smiled noncommittally, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Did I say you can guarantee food for everyone there?"

"Well," Du Yande smiled, "eating can only ensure that everyone will not starve to death, but if you want to be full, you must work, and if you want to eat well, you must work hard." In the port of the East, in the Senate, everyone had to work, and everyone had to earn from their labor, otherwise they would only have to eat enough food to support their lives. ”

Lan Cao didn't understand these big truths, and was about to ask questions, but Yang Minghuan on the side added, "That is to say, everyone can only eat well if they work, and only when they do a good job can they eat well." ”

"So what kind of work do you usually have to do there, can I do it if I go there" Lan Cao finally relented, Du Yande and Yang Minghuan looked at each other and smiled, the expression on their faces was like two foxes finally catching the long-awaited chicken, "There are many different jobs in Dongfang Port, anyone who is willing to work can find a suitable job for themselves, such as you, there are many jobs to do, and if you have received cultural training, you can take on more work." The more knowledge you learn, the more you can get paid for your labor. ”

"But I'm not human," a trace of sadness flashed in Lan Cao's eyes, "In the past, we in Annan also wanted to work for other people's families to get some food, but people said that we were not human and could only take very little food. ”

"And this kind of thing" Zeng Zhigang couldn't help but be stunned, the thin elf in front of him said such a thing, which made him completely unbelievable. Several other elders also felt the same way, it stands to reason that since these elves have superb archery skills and the ability to read minds, why can't they even find a Bole

In fact, it is also related to the inability of elves and humans to communicate and hate each other. The previous elves were secluded in the jungle, and there was very little contact between the two, and the only contact was basically the conflict between the elves and humans to protect animals and plants, which made the relationship between the two sides have always been tense. Although the elves are light and have extraordinary archery skills, they lack strength, and they live in the jungle all year round and suffer from various jungle diseases, so they have not been able to gain the upper hand in the process of fighting against humans.

Elves are not good at farming, and although they like to eat human food, they don't know how to cultivate them, so they can only find humans to exchange for goods. However, when the relationship between the two sides is tense, except for the mercenary hawkers, once everyone else knows that it is an elf, they often turn around and run away. The only people who could trade with them were the peddlers, who had good goods in their hands, and often sold their things at ridiculously high prices, like iron needles, which could be sold for a tael of silver in areas frequented by elves, and only more expensive in the case of soap. The elves did not know how to farm, nor did they know how to trade, and they could not get silver in the transactions, so they could only barter. In the tribe of blue grass, there was once an elf who exchanged a stag for two needles and a small bundle of thread, this price is still a conscience price, if you meet a black-hearted one, it is not uncommon for a tiger skin to be exchanged for three iron arrows. Therefore, the value of iron products among the elves has always been high, to mention that the blue grass is one of the best warriors in the tribe, and can only carry a short iron sword that is slightly deformed by rust, and they are not clear about how to protect the iron weapons, often these iron weapons can only be discarded once they are rusted.

"We don't have a rule that doesn't accept elves." Yang Minghuan replied very simply, "As long as they are loyal to the Senate, whether they are humans or elves, even orcs, they are our people. As long as they gather under the banner of the North Star of the Senate and accept the command of the Executive Committee, they are all Chinese citizens."

Although Lan Cao didn't understand the high-end statement of citizens, he could hear the meaning of Yang Minghuan's words, and it was clear that as long as he obeyed the command of the Senate, he could enjoy the same treatment as humans, and there was really nothing more attractive to him than this. He couldn't help but secretly make up his mind that if he could really make his people well-fed, then working in Dongfang Harbor would not be impossible. What's more, I heard Yang Muqin say before that they have the ability to treat, and they can also treat their subordinates, although they don't know how much they have to charge, but at least they know a lot of the mechanism of disease, so they must be able to see a good disease, not to mention that they can eat well, there is nothing more attractive than these.

"Well, that's good," Bluegrass was about to say another few words, when suddenly there was a smell in the air, "What a smell?"

After not the ground is not the only enemy ball to catch the trouble

"What smell" Several elders couldn't help but be stunned, and they all sniffed in the air, but no one smelled it, but the blue grass looked longing and didn't look like a fake, so that the elders couldn't help but be confused. Suddenly, Yang Muqin slapped his thigh, took his right index finger in his mouth, and then raised it high, "The wind is from east to west now, he must have smelled the smell of lunch wafting out of the barracks." ”

Dividers

It would not be easy to rush back to Oriental Harbor for lunch now, so a few veterans took the blue grass all the way east and came directly to the Foreign Legion barracks. If you want to say that there are a lot of fortresses, he has seen many fortresses in his life for more than a hundred years, but the Fort of the Foreign Legion in front of him is completely different from those he has seen, the main building of this fortress is still a brick and stone structure, and it is obvious that the construction of this wall has been carried out twice. At the beginning, when the new army camp was built, a four-meter-high earthen wall was built with loess, and the rest of the work had to be suspended during the defense of Champa Port, because all the troops shrank into the city in order to defend Champong Port, and completely abandoned the earthen city under construction. Because there were very few brick and wood buildings in this earthen city, and the walls were only made of earth, the barbarian army was completely defeated in a day's battle, so they withdrew directly south, so the barbarian army only lasted for one day and did not cause any damage to the fortress at all.

After the barbarian army retreated, Ruan Jiao spent a lot of money to build this new army camp because of the performance of the new army in the battle. The main thing is that a brick wall was built on the perimeter of the earthen wall, and the earthen wall was encased inside. After Nguyen Minh Phuong arrived and used the fort as a prisoner camp, and then it was reoccupied by the Senate troops, the fort officially became a Senate asset. Since the only tank of the armored unit was damaged and unable to move in the area north of the fort, the army units and foreign legions stationed here had to send manpower to cut down a large amount of timber in the vicinity, and used it to wrap the tanks to build a wooden fort, which was connected with the masonry fortress to form the current peculiar-looking fortress.

The fort now houses one company of the Army, one company of the Marine Corps and two companies of the Foreign Legion, and one company of the Foreign Legion that was transferred last time and has not completed its training has also been left in this fort at this time, and according to Li Yuan's plan, this company will complete the recruit training in this fort instead of in the recruit training camp in the Oriental Harbor. If there is a battle, the Foreign Legion will have three companies of troops here, which can add up to the size of a battalion, and with the cooperation of two smoothbore guns, two flying thunder guns and machine guns, not to mention the 40,000 men of the Ito Army, even if the entire South Bank Army rushes over, it will definitely not be beneficial.

But at this time, Lan Cao didn't know what was going on inside, he just raised his head and looked at a huge plaque hanging on the city gate in a daze, Yang Muqin walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go in, the cooking row inside is preparing food, there should be something to eat." Lan Cao's attention was not on what he was eating now, which made Yang Mu Qin a little surprised, and he was about to ask, but he saw Lan Cao ask first, "What do the three words on this mean?" said Lan Cao and pointed to the plaque above.

The corners of Yang Muqin's mouth twitched twice, and he didn't want to answer him, but he couldn't stand Lan Cao's questioning, and after a while, he asked hesitantly, "You don't know how to read."

"I don't know," Lan Cao shrugged, "we don't have a husband to teach, and besides, even if we elves learn those things, it's useless, anyway, we can't participate in the imperial examination, we can't be officials, and we can't even want to live with humans." ”

Sun Yuan is not a ghost, and he is not a ghost

"Can I not answer your question" Yang Muqin hesitated a little, he didn't really want to pronounce those three words, but Lan Cao asked twice, and he really couldn't stand Lan Cao's questioning, Yang Mu Qin had to say softly in a very fast voice, "Shabak." ”
