265.Chapter 265: Li Le invited
Xu Huang still has a fairly comprehensive grasp of the characteristics of the crossbow, and said directly: "I have done some experiments, and I can take about 300 steps. The farther the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, the attack power will be greatly weakened. ”
"Three hundred steps? It's already a long way off! Cao Ang was taken aback, he didn't expect that the Han Dynasty's bows and crossbows would reach such a peak level.
The crossbow is powerful, simple to operate, compared to the bow, it is expensive, the range is short, the loading is slow, and the shortcomings are still obvious, so it cannot be used on a large scale.
At the beginning, Li Ling shook the 80,000 soldiers and horses of the Huns with 5,000 elites, and persevered in a difficult and excellent environment for ten days, relying on strong crossbows to kill the enemy. It's a pity that in the end, the arrows ran out, and he had to choose to surrender after killing tens of thousands of enemies.
When he surrendered, he said: "Give me and other soldiers three arrows each, and we can hold out to the border of the Han Dynasty." ”
It is said that they shot a total of 500,000 arrows in these ten days.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the 800 Xiandeng dead soldiers who were once led by Yuan Shao's general Lu Yi shined in the Battle of Jieqiao, breaking the white horse righteousness under Gongsun Zhan.
What did the first deceased rely on, that is, nearly a thousand strong crossbows, and after Bai Ma Yicong approached, he shot Gongsun Zhan's baby pimple alive, making him almost collapse.
Although Lu Yi is very eye-catching, he is proud of his achievements and was killed by Yuan Shao, which is a later story.
Cao Ang is overjoyed, the crossbow is definitely the nemesis of the light cavalry! Maybe he can catch up with Lu Yi and pull up a team of first dead soldiers, so that Lu Yi has no name.
"Thank you! He and I Cao Ang have the day of soaring, and there will be heavy thanks! Cao Ang said very gratefully.
"You're welcome!" Xu Huang saw that Cao Ang was leaving, so he didn't hold back: "Tomorrow, when you pass the customs, I will prepare these things for you!" ”
"Good!" Cao Ang didn't say anything else, and went back to the camp with Le Jin and Diao Chan.
After resting for one night and having a beautiful woman to accompany him, Cao Ang suddenly felt energetic.
The Flying Tiger Army had already been repaired, and Cao Ang put Diao Chan in the carriage again, and led the Flying Tiger Army to Hangu Pass.
Xu Huang had already gone out of the city gate to greet him, and he also prepared the bows and crossbows and arrows that Cao Ang wanted.
"General, the name of the Flying Tiger Army really deserves its reputation!" Xu Huang saw that the Flying Tiger soldier was fat and strong, worthy of being an elite man, and he was even a few points stronger than his own soldiers.
You must know that his own soldiers are only dozens of people, but the Flying Tiger Army is thousands of people, which is simply incomparable.
This also shows from the side that Cao Ang is terrible, how can a general who can train such a majestic army be an idle person, and it is good to be able to make a friend.
"Win and win! Thank you for the gift! Cao Ang arched his hand and gave the order: "Each person has a crossbow and six or seven arrows." ”
"Yes, General!" Le Jin and Hao Zhao quickly turned over and dismounted, and sent people to distribute crossbows and arrows.
After a while, each soldier of the Flying Tiger Army received a military crossbow, and they adjusted it in their hands, feeling a little in love.
After all the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army had obtained their crossbows, Cao Ang gave the order to march all the way east.
After leaving Hangu Pass, Cao Ang led the Flying Tiger Army to Funiu Mountain, where he had already ordered people to camp at the bottom of the valley, and habitually sent scouts to reconnoiter everywhere.
It stands to reason that Diao Chan should be waiting for himself here, why is no one here.
On that day, he let go of Li Le and Hu Cai, and originally left a secret chess move, so that they could help Yang Feng, who was originally weak, to tide over the difficulties.
However, he has the Taiping Technique in his hands, and he can pull them into his team. Before I go back, I just need to expand my strength. As for Yang Feng's life and death, he can't care so much.
"Report!" Soon a pro-soldier came to report.
"Come in!" Cao Ang sat in the middle of the tent and said loudly.
After Le Jin led a strange middle-aged man in, he turned around and left. Cao Ang fixed his eyes and saw that it was Li Le, who had not been seen for many days.
Li Le had already released the scouts from afar, and when he saw Cao Ang's army camping here, he rushed over early.
"Li Le has seen the general." A smile appeared on Li Le's face, and his expression seemed to be a little stiff.
I don't know if it's because of the long time gap, Cao Ang always feels that there is an inexplicable gap between him and him.
"Well, Li Le, I haven't seen you for a long time! How is Funiu Mountain doing? Cao Ang asked in a deep voice, and his words already had a taste of a superior person.
He felt that in the face of these defeated yellow turban thieves, there was no need to be too polite!
"Back to the general's words, we will manage it with our hearts, and the number of soldiers has reached 5,000, and this Funiu Mountain has already been operated like an iron bucket." Li Le kept looking at Cao Ang when he said this, as if he was asking for credit for himself.
"By the way, a few days ago, did you see five hundred Flying Tiger troops passing by here, and they also brought a woman called Cai Wenji." Seeing that Le Jin was so obedient, Cao Ang did not doubt him, and hurriedly asked Cai Wenji about the situation.
"General Qiyu, Miss Cai Wenji is in our Funiu Mountain, and the little one takes good care of her. I came down the mountain today to invite you to dinner. Li Le put on a very happy look, but when he faced Cao Ang, his eyes were a little erratic, as if he had done something wrong.
Cao Ang drew a question mark in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "It's so late, why don't I go up the mountain early tomorrow morning, what do you think?" ”
If Cai Wenji or Li Ru got the news of their arrival, they would definitely not send an outsider like Li Le to report it, but would send their own cronies over.
In this way, this Li Le is really cheating! Let's take a look at what medicine is sold in his gourd!
"General, I have ordered my men to start killing pigs and sheep, just waiting for the general to come! Miss Cai Wenji also misses the general very much! Li Le calmed down and replied cautiously.
He suddenly felt that Cao Ang seemed to see something, but when he saw Cao Ang's reaction, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
"By the way, Hu Cai wasn't there that day, why didn't you see him come today?" Cao Ang had some doubts, and while asking, he thought of countermeasures.
If you don't go today, Cai Wenji will be in danger! If you go, you're in danger! You've got to think of a perfect solution.
At this moment, Le Jin suddenly received an urgent report from the scout, and found several engraved stones at the foot of the mountain, with the word "help" written on them.
The appearance of this stone is no accident!
Le Jin is sure that the font on this is similar to Cai Wenji's flying white font, and it should be that she used something to write on the stone, and then the soldiers carved it.
In this way, Cai Wenji is in danger! Li Le came, there must be no good thing! I have to find a way to stop Li Le!
Thinking of this, Li Le's eyes were full of anger and he walked into Cao Ang's tent.
