Li Qing'an is one meter eight tall, since he was a child, the weightlifting team took a fancy to him this strange seedling, after two years of weightlifting, his parents were worried that he was not tall, so he was not allowed to practice weightlifting again, and instead practiced archery, practiced hard for ten years, and later joined the army, became a member of the army archery team, and won the national archery championship at the age of 23.

Although he didn't know what he meant by the hard crossbow, Li Qingan still nodded, he wanted to give it a try.

"Good! Follow me. ”

A group of Tang Jun followed Li Fei Yuanli to the third floor of the fort, everyone's eyes showed a look of expectation, they all knew what the commander was going to do, but no one had ever been able to pull it apart alone, it had been sealed for decades, was it going to go out of the mountain today?

Everyone went up to the third floor, which was the highest point in the vicinity, with shooting holes all around, a wide field of vision, and the beacon hot pot was still on the top, and it could be climbed from a staircase.

Li Fei Yuanli pointed to a huge crossbow in the corner and said, "You pull that." ”

Li Qingan slowly stepped forward and picked up this dusty crossbow, the crossbow frame was thicker than his arm, the bow arm was two meters long, and the crossbow machine on it was a little rusty, I don't know how many years it had been placed.

"Lord, I don't know how to use a crossbow."

"It's simple, I'll teach you."

Li Fei Yuanli took an ordinary crossbow that was half smaller and gave it to Li Qing'an to demonstrate, "Look, that's it, use the strength of your waist and legs, step on the bow back, pull the string upwards with both hands, and stick the string on the tooth machine."

The bow and arrow want accuracy, and the crossbow arrow wants the range, so the requirements for the crossbow arrow are not high, as long as there is enough strength, Li Qingan's Fuyuan crossbow can generally be used by three people, because there are few people in the fort, so it is idle, if Li Qingan can pull him away alone, it is a top three.

Li Qing'an was thorough at one point, learning from his pattern, putting the crossbow on the ground, stepping on it with his feet, grabbing the bowstring with both hands, he took a deep breath, his arms slowly strained, and only heard 'Squeak and quack!' The bowstring was gradually pulled apart, and the eyes of the surrounding Tang Jun widened suddenly, looking at him incredulously, this is a ten-stone hard crossbow, and it was actually pulled away by him.

Li Qingan buckled the string on the tooth machine and handed it to Li Fei Yuanli, "Master of War, this is okay!" ”

Li Fei Yuanli glanced at Li Qing'an with complicated eyes, took out a crossbow arrow and put it into the trough, pointed to the horse stake two hundred steps away, and said, "You can shoot another crossbow arrow." ”

In fact, Li Qing'an also practiced crossbows, but he knew that the crossbows of the Tang Dynasty were military weapons and were strictly forbidden to be used by ordinary people.

Now that he was past the beginning of his clumsiness and could show himself, a competitive spirit emboldened him, and he stretched out his long arm to support the crossbow, hooked his fingers on the hanging knife, and slowly aimed at a small black dot in the distance.

The Tang soldiers all held their breath and looked at him nervously one by one, and Li Qingan pulled the hanging knife, 'Click! There was a soft thud on the ground, and the bolts shot out mightily, whistling straight at the stake, nailing it to the stake accurately.

One of the Don soldiers ran to inspect it, and he shouted: "Shot!" ”

Tang Jun suddenly burst into cheers, this time Li Fei Yuanli was finally convinced, he patted Li Qing'an on the shoulder, grinned and said: "From now on, you are the fire chief of the fifth fire, and I will make up for your military status." ”

He turned around and ordered, "Come, give him a set of armor." ”

．．．．．．．

A sage said that politics is an economic building, this sentence is correct, but it is not entirely true, at least it is not right to use it on Li Qing'an's body, the fire commander is today's squad leader, in charge of ten soldiers, although small, but after all, he is an official, and his political status has been improved, but Li Qing'an's economic status is very inconsistent with his identity.

He is still the poorest man in the fort, although there is a nameless gem, but that gem is like a property now, if it is not sold, it will never reflect its value, he must not exchange the gem for wine!

In fact, in addition to that gem, his entire family property is only 500 yuan, and he got the eagle shooting money from Li Fei Yuanli, and Huang Chengcheng's 500 yuan is packed in a clay pot, and he can use this 500 yuan to go to Bahuan City, where he can buy 100 pieces of bearded cakes with meat, 10 bottles of fine Gaochang wine, and he can visit the second Banqing Building.

But if Li Qingan wanted to buy a pair of bows and arrows at hand, like a six-stone bow like Lifei Yuanli, it would take ten and five hundred yuan to be enough.

"Fire chief, take a sip of wine!"

This is the sentence that his subordinate soldier He Yanming said the most after he was promoted to the fire chief, and his wine was basically given to his new boss, which can be regarded as some kind of welfare compensation for Li Qingan!

"Xiaohe, is there any way to get some money?"

Xiao He is a new name invented by Li Qing'an, but it is not new in the fort, his father was originally a veteran of the fort, He Yanming took over his father's class, and it is natural to be called Xiao He.

Although He Yanming has only been a soldier for one year, he has gained a lot of valuable experience from his father, and when he heard that Li Qingan wanted to get money, he immediately smiled and said: "Huo Chang, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, since you are working in the fort, if you want to make money, you naturally have to peel off the skin from the Hu merchants, everyone does this!" ”

Those Hu businessmen are all rich and rich, and there is nothing wrong with scraping some oil and water from them, but the question is where are they?

Li Qingan frowned and said, "I've been here for more than a month, and I haven't even seen the shadow of Hu Shang. ”

"This is also true, there seem to be very few Hu businessmen this year."

He Yanming scratched his scalp, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly smiled: "There is another way, and it is very suitable for the fire chief." ”

Li Qing'an perked up, "Say it quickly, what way." ”

"Go hunting!"

Li Yanqing's eyes lit up, this is a good way, there is a grassland in the south, you can try it.

He Yanming seemed to know Li Qing'an's thoughts, shook his head and smiled: "The grassland is nothing more than roe deer, hares and other wild meat, not worth much money, if you really want to get valuable things, you have to go to Lingshan, my father will hunt a few argalis in Lingshan every year, and the sheep's head will be sold for more than a dozen yuan, making a small fortune." ”

More than a dozen yuan, enough to buy a good bow, Li Qingan was tempted, he drank the wine gourd in one gulp, and slammed the wine jug to the ground, "Dry!" Tomorrow I will go and hunt a few argali and sell them for money. ”

．．．．．．．

Lingshan is today's Tianshan Mountain, stretching for thousands of miles, will divide the Tang Anxi into two, the north is the Beiting Duhufu, the south is the Anxi Duhufu, countless wild animals live in Lingshan, wolves, argali, red deer, foxes, goose-throated gazelles, etc., among which the more valuable is the argali's horns, a good argali's head can be sold for three times in Bahuan City.

Hunting in Lingshan was also one of the important sources of wealth for the garrisons, and in fact, Hu Shang came to the fort to do business, largely to buy prey from the Tang army.

Li Qing'an led his men to wander around Lingshan for a day, and the harvest was quite rich, shooting five argali, six red deer and a dozen goose-throated antelopes, the meat of these prey could improve the Tang army's food, and the horns on their heads could be sold for dozens of dollars.

It was getting dark, they passed by a mountain col, where there was no sunlight, it looked cold and gloomy, the huge mountain rocks were still covered with thick ice and snow, and the bones of animals were scattered in some stone crevices, and the war horses began to be restless, desperately looking up and neighing, a veteran Han Jinping was more experienced, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong.

"Fire chief, retreat! Get out of here. ”

But it was too late, and a few piles of snow fell from a pine tree, and a pair of cold eyes peeked out from the cracks of the pine trees.
