"You can't chew too much," Lu Zhe knew too well that a new weapon would not be perfected in a while, and he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, but asked, "What is the situation with the reserve of arrows?" ”

Mei Kai is good at shooting, and he has always been training long-range troops, and about 40,000 crossbowmen in Nanjun stay in Gangneung to practice when they are not in battle, and go to the front line when they go to battle.

The structure under Lu Zhe's command is exactly the same as that of the Qin army, and the number of crossbowmen in the troops of the first field school is maintained at 800 to 1,000, and the crossbowmen of the siege troops will be appropriately increased to about 2,000 people, and there is no quota for defense.

Mei liked to supervise crossbowmen, believing that the combat effectiveness of an army depended on how far and strong it was to strike from a distance, and it was only fitting that he should supervise the arrows of the various Yuecheng systems.

Lu Zhe was satisfied that three Yuecheng could make 2.4 million arrows per month, but when he heard that he could only assemble 800,000 arrows and less than 200,000 crossbow arrows per month, he couldn't help frowning.

800,000 and 200,000 may sound like a lot, but the number of arrows actually consumed in battle is a terrifying number. For example, if a 5,000-strong archer is equipped with 25 arrows as standard in wartime, it is 125,000 arrows. 5,000 archers need to shoot about 12 to 15 arrows a day, and a single consumption is 75,000 arrows. It is impossible to have only 5,000 archers in a war, as long as you can pull the bow when defending the city, it is the archers, and the arrows consumed are calculated in a massive amount.

There is a rough way of calculating, a 50,000-strong army must prepare between 1 million and 1.2 million arrows in a field battle, and 2.5 million to 3 million arrows in a siege war. Note that this does not mean that it is enough to prepare only the arrows of that number, and there needs to be a process of supplementation.

Every time the Qin army fights. In a field battle with more than 100,000 people, more than 3 million arrows are consumed in less than half a month, and even more arrows are consumed in siege warfare.

Half a year, only 800,000 bows and arrows and less than 200,000 crossbow arrows every month, how can such arrows be enough!

"What's the difficulty?" Lu Zhe's tone stiffened a little.

Mei Kai replied: "The selection of the arrow shaft, the assembly of the manpower." ”

Shaft? That's right! Not all wood is suitable for arrows, and there are many options for the materials of arrows, depending on what kind of arrows you want to make.

In general, archers' arrows, this class of rods is chosen to be hardened reeds. Either that, choose bamboo. The arrows made of these materials will shoot up and flutter, and the range will not be far, even if it is equipped with the power of a three-edged arrow, it is to deal with the enemy army that does not wear armor or only wears leather armor, if there is bronze armor, there is no way, the main thing is that the penetration is not good.

In many cases, the distance at which an archer shoots an arrow cannot be blamed on the bow itself, but by the arrows.

If you are particular about it, for example, if you make an armor-piercing arrow, it is also a three-edged arrowhead. However, the arrow shaft is to choose some hardwood, that is, the arrow shaft that contains more weight and is not easy to break, and is mainly based on arrow shaft poplar, Liudao wood and tea wood.

The amount of arrows required is very large, and most of the arrows used by ordinary archers are reeds and bamboo shafts. The Marksman is equipped with a few arrows of particular selection and is specially used to snipe enemy generals.

There was a Yunmengze in Nanjun, and Lu Zhe remembered that there were so many reeds there that they were like the sea, and he was a little puzzled about what Mei Kai meant. What about the other thing. Let's not talk about the previous Yuecheng, it is basically a clan that has ruled gold for generations, but didn't Lu Zhe compile a few new Yuecheng later? There will be no shortage of manpower in these Yuecheng!

"Rainy season. The plant is soft, and the arrow is difficult to get on, so you need to try a few more times. I also tried baking, but the shaft of the arrow bent as soon as it was baked. Mei Kaicai should be a person who feels anxious, he seems to be a little aggrieved: "Lie needs heavy armor, many, many heavy armor, he has seven thousand strong men, and the armor is less than two thousand." "The implication is that he robbed people with Su Lie and lost.

Lu Zhe suddenly felt a little headache, there were too many things that needed to be completed within half a year, and the shortage of manpower would definitely happen. The more technical work is required, the more manpower will be lacking, which simply cannot be improved in a short period of time.

Yuecheng in Nanjun is almost the same as the assembly line manufacturing method in Xianyang. In this regard, Lu Zhe did not understand the assembly line of the Qin State, and felt that such a process was suitable and did not make changes.

In fact, except for Qin Guo and Lu Zhe, the rest of the rebels would not use the assembly line even if they had a forging workshop. It's not that no one has imitated it, but a lot of imitation has happened, and the speed of building it with the same human hand is almost not bad, but the size of the individual parts cannot be assembled at all, and they use their own familiar way, so the production of rebel weapons in various places has not been able to increase. Gone into a misunderstanding, the first condition of the assembly line is strict, that is, everything needs a template, almost a craftsman will die, this is nothing in the Qin State, but let the romantic people of the Six Kingdoms to carry it out, they think that this is harmful. How can that compare?

Mei Li is not complaining, and she definitely doesn't want to find a reason to shirk, she can take those words just now as a fart, stink a little, and disperse if she scatters.

Lu Zhe also knows this, and will not come up with ideas or interfere. As a superior, all he needs is to assign tasks and then check whether his subordinates have carried out the tasks well.

That's right, Lu Zhe won't be incarnated, so what do you do. To put it bluntly, the person in charge should understand what is lacking in the territory, think about what to do with a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and concentrate on one thing is the most unacceptable. So he walked around and looked at the process, and then patted his ass and moved the ground.

The rainy season in Nanjun is not annoying compared to the more southern-affected places, and Lu Zhe even thinks that the rainy season is a good season after preparing for it in advance.

Which neurotic would choose to go to war with tens of thousands of troops in the rainy season? Therefore, Nanjun, Hengshan County, and Qianzhong County had enough time to deploy defenses.

Yan Bi, who was still supervising the construction of the eastern section of the city wall of Nanling, wiped the water on his cheeks when he suddenly found an army not far away under the rain curtain, and he couldn't see the banner of the army in front of him clearly, but he didn't think it would be an enemy army. There were several barracks near Nanling City, and none of the enemy troops were able to approach Nanling quietly.

Yan Bi thought about it for a while, the only troops that could still move around in this weather were Lu Zhe's pro-army, and the number of people could match it if he looked closely. When he was thinking about whether to go down to meet him, the army turned around and moved. I don't know where I'm going.

Lu Zhe just looked through the rain curtain from a distance, he went to the Nanling construction site now, so the people could only stop and avoid, I don't know what kind of welcoming ceremony Yan Bi would take the bureaucrats to, so it would be purely adding to the chaos. The construction of Nanling City was in an orderly manner, and he only needed this to be enough.

"Go to Su Lie's barracks." After giving the order, the flail will naturally send someone to open the way first. Actually, it is this rainy season that Lu Zhe has the opportunity to walk around, because in this season there is the least amount of official business.

Su Lie's military camp was in the east of Nanling City, and he was now personally holding a three-pointed and two-edged knife to teach several officers how to wield the knife. And directly in front of them were many soldiers running naked in the mud carrying huge trees.

Heavy infantry, how can you do it without enough weight-bearing capacity? Su Lie usually chooses a mountain when he exercises, and lets the soldiers climb it with their whole body loads, of course, mountaineering in the rainy season is not good, and mountaineering in this kind of weather is not training, but letting the soldiers under his command die, so it becomes a huge tree to run in the muddy ground.

"Mo knife, the waist should be strong, and the knife should rely on the handle to borrow strength from the waist. The arm is nothing more than a channeling effect. The two-meter-one Su Lie picked up the three-pointed two-edged knife very powerfully, and the "whirring" knife wind never stopped dancing with it. He took a sharp step forward, and when the muddy water splashed under his feet, he yelled "hey" in his mouth, and the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand was lifted from the bottom up. The knife flashed, "Lifting, when you start from the bottom, you must rely on your arm to grasp the handle, and the process of lifting needs to have amplitude." It's not a simple lift, a small semicircle can exert the power of a broadsword. ”

Perhaps in order to impress the officers who followed him, Su Lie walked to a wooden stake with his Mo knife. He repeated the gesture of slamming the knife forward, and he didn't see how hard he struck, and the thick stake broke into two after the knife flashed.

"The Lord said that the power of the heavy infantry has reached an extreme called 'advancing like a wall', which is the attack power of lining up into a wall and wielding a giant blade in a unified rhythm, destroying everything in front of it with every step," Su Lie was patting on the back, and would say that this sentence was purely out of the corner of his eye when he found Lu Zhe coming, "We can't live up to the Lord's attention, and we will ...... within half a year"

Lu Zhe, who was plucking his ears, walked up and his body was a little tilted, his ears were really itchy, and he didn't know if it was in the water?

The strong men who were panting and carrying the giant wood were running, and when they saw the lord of the three counties coming, they immediately became out of breath and became energetic, and the half-dead "one-two, one-two" just now regained their brightness, and some of the strong men who really had the strength saw the lord's gaze and tensed the muscles on their bodies to show that they were very strong.

"Go on," Lu Zhe's ears really got into the water, he didn't look at Su Lie's stiff expression, but tilted his neck and patted his ears.

A two-meter-one-thick black and sturdy person, a bear-like figure, he usually can't even laugh, what to play.

Su Lie also seemed to feel awkward, and caught up and had something to say: "Lord, the number of heavy armor is not enough. ”

"......" Lu Zhe finally got the water out of his ears, looked at Su Lie up and down, and then looked at the soldiers who were running happily, "Practicing in the rain, have you prepared ginger soup to warm up the soldiers and ward off the cold?" ”

Su Lie still said: "Really, the armor is really not enough. ”

"Go look for it and get some ginger soup to drink." It was for the pro-army, and Lu Zhe himself also needed to drink a little, but he didn't even pay attention to Su Lie, and left with someone after drinking.

"......" Su Lie looked at the backs of the people who came and left with a bowl of ginger soup, and asked his subordinates in a bit of a daze: "Does the lord care or not?" (To be continued......)
