Chapter 158: Improving the Arrowhead

Yang Zilu also smiled when he heard this, but thinking that this era doesn't seem to pay much attention to secrecy, and it's just the past. But this strategy is very important, in case Gou Jian sent a fine work to inquire about this strategy, Yang Zilu would have no place to cry. Yang Zilu immediately admonished with a serious face: "The words here only enter the ears of the monarch and the minister, so that the widow knows who leaked out of this negotiation, no matter who it is, the official will be dismissed and dismissed, and the whole family will be reduced to slavery!" Do you know? ”

"Do what the Lord commands!" The doctors were stunned, they all heard the seriousness in Yang Zilu's tone, couldn't they hear that Yang Zilu called himself a widow? Usually Yang Zilu is used to calling herself me. The doctors immediately responded respectfully.

However, at this time, there was a person who committed a crime against the wind, with a disapproving face. If it was someone else, Yang Zilu would have squirted violently, but this person is a black bear, which undoubtedly makes Yang Zilu very helpless, his own brother-in-law! Yang Zilu is not easy to be ruthless. In fact, Yang Zilu also understands the reason why the black bear doesn't care, it's not because Hu Mei is dead! From that day on, the surname of the originally honest black bear became a little perverse.

Yang Zilu glanced at the black bear and said softly: "Black bear, you have to pay attention to this matter, it is a matter of national affairs, in case you let Yue Guo know, I am afraid that this time the Jiukui tribe will be wiped out!" ”

The black bear originally looked disapproving, but when he heard this, he had to feel a pang in his heart. Although the black bear was quite dissatisfied with Yang Zilu because of Hu Mei's death, he still nodded to Yang Zilu, saying that he would obey Yang Zilu's orders and would not reveal this discussion.

Yang Zilu went to inspect the school house next, and Yu Yu's departure affected the students' studies a lot. For this reason, Yang Zilu plans to appear in the school house often to teach these students in place of Yu Yu. In fact, the teacher at the school is just a student with excellent grades. For this reason, Yang Zilu had to shorten the study time to one semester, that is, from March to mid-October, a total of seven and a half months of study time. Students can only learn about 1,500 words and addition and subtraction in a simple way. This is also thanks to Yang Zilu's 'invention' of pinyin, otherwise it is already remarkable to be able to learn 500 words in a semester.

After inspecting the school, Yang Zilu changed to his newly formed Longbow Battalion, which was composed of 300 Shanyue people with a height of more than 1.6 meters drawn from the five battalions. Although the rules are so, the Shanyue people are short, and the height of many longbowmen is only a little more than 1.59 meters, and the shortest is even a little more than 1.58 meters, and there is still a line to reach 1.59 meters. But Yang Zilu is now a tall man among the short ones, and no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has to pinch his nose and admit it.

However, the longbowmen have to say that the combat effectiveness is very strong, although at the beginning, the Shanyue people did not like to use this kind of weapon, which was a huge weapon for them. For this reason, they even jokingly called the longbow a wooden stick at one point, and a long-range weapon was actually used as a melee weapon, which can be imagined that the Shanyue people do not trust the longbow.

The main reason is that the Shanyue people are accustomed to using compound bows that are no more than about five feet, which are more flexible and lighter than longbows in the forest. But the longbow had its own charm, and soon the people of Shanyue fell in love with this new weapon, except for the short ones, of course.

Although it was only after less than a month of training, the vast majority of Shanyue people were already able to shoot three arrows out of ten arrows with a longbow against an arrow target eighty paces away. Don't look at the low accuracy, you must know that it is less than a month. Yang Zilu believes that by the spring ploughing in February, the accuracy of the longbowmen who have been trained for three months can be improved to 50 percent, or even 60 percent.

This is enough for Yang Zilu to be satisfied, you must know that the arrows used by longbowmen are three feet eight inches (nearly eighty centimeters) long, and the arrows are much heavier than ordinary arrows, ordinary arrows are only about two halves (about thirty-nine grams), but the arrows used by longbowmen reach four taels. The most important thing is that Yang Zilu has been improved, and the arrows of this era are generally double-winged arrowheads, which are V-shaped and barbed, but the contact surface is relatively large, and the stable surname is relatively poor, and the ability to penetrate armor is relatively poor.

Yang Zilu improved it into a triangular arrowhead, which is characterized by a more stable one. At the same time, Yang Zilu lengthened the length of the arrowhead, making the tip of the arrow more sharp, forming an edge. Unlike the bifopter, which has a small arc at the tip, the arrow looks more like a half-cut oval than a triangle. The sharper contact surface of the arrow will become smaller, and the power will be more concentrated at one point, which will undoubtedly increase a lot of armor-piercing power.

However, Yang Zilu felt that this was not enough, and Yang Zilu wanted to use poison. The source of the poison is simple, that is, the traditional tetanus, and the surname price ratio is extremely high. It only needs to be inserted into the feces for a period of time before taking it out and using it, so it will naturally contract tetanus and other germs. For the soldiers who were hit by the arrow, most of them would eventually catch tetanus and die, even if they did not die. This is because in the era when there were no tetanus antitoxin injections, tetanus was equivalent to a death sentence.

But Yang Zilu felt that he had a high chance of winning this war, and if he used poisoned arrows with rust and germs on a large scale, it was likely that his prisoners would be reduced on a large scale. For Yang Zilu, this is probably the worst thing, these are slaves! Moreover, Yang Zilu is still preparing to build roads, or roads in the mountains, which is undoubtedly a big burden for the Han Kingdom, which is in dire straits. If there are captives, it's different.

Winter goes to spring, and the time has come to the thirty-first year of King Jing of Zhou. This year is also the first anniversary of Gou Jian's return to China, in this year Gou Jian is embarrassed, he has a complete Spring Festival, last year he returned to China in a hurry, plus he just took over the territory that had been ravaged by the Wu army, to restore people's livelihood, recruit troops and so on. Gou Jian didn't have the financial resources to have a good New Year last year. However, this year's good spring ploughing dinner did not make Gou Jian feel proud and complacent, and on the second day, Gou Jian still continued his hard work. But obviously, Gou Jian's calm little talk ended here.

"What! The soldiers of the Han Kingdom actually appeared outside the city of Zhuji! Gou Jian was shocked by the news, but more angry. Zhuji City is only more than 100 miles away from Huiji City. Doesn't it mean that the capital of the Yue Kingdom was once again attacked by the enemy four years later.
