"My lord is here, these parts are all the parts used in the 'Yipin Bow' I developed." It wasn't until Yang Hao spoke that Li Xing, who was very focused, noticed that they had come in, and hurriedly came forward with the semi-finished product.

"How's the bow made?"

"It's going to take two days to finish." Li Xing said, put the semi-finished product on the table, picked up the round, flat, square, and long various small parts and quickly assembled them on it, tried it, he took off a pulley-like small part, called a blacksmith, pointed out a few places that needed to be polished again, and asked him to take them back for processing immediately.

In fact, the Yipin bow that Li Xing mentioned is the later divine arm bow, which can be said to be the pinnacle of long-range weapons among individual weapons in the cold weapon era. Because it has long been lost in later generations, many people once suspected that it was just a stepping crossbow, otherwise it would be hard to imagine that it would have such a powerful power. At this time, Yang Hao saw that although this bow had a lot of auxiliary parts added to it, it was a very sophisticated weapon compared to ordinary bows, but it was undoubtedly still a bow, not a crossbow.

These delicate parts designed by Li Xing are the guarantee of the range and opening power of this bow, but it is neither as clumsy as the bed crossbow, nor as slow to use as the stepping crossbow, and the assistance of the mechanism even makes it faster to fire than ordinary bows, but it requires more maintenance than ordinary bows.

In fact, although the Song Dynasty kept such a sophisticated military technology strictly secret, but this technology was still leaked, until the later "Yongle Canon", which still sporadically recorded its mechanism manufacturing technology, the Qing Dynasty scholar Ji Xiaolan had personally seen these patterns, and wanted to remake the Divine Arm Bow according to this, but unfortunately the pattern on the "Yongle Canon" is only a single part of the Divine Arm Bow, there is no combination drawing, and the wisdom of Ji Scholar can not understand how the various parts of the Divine Arm Bow mechanism need to be assembled.

In the more than 10 years since the compilation of the "Siku Quanshu", the Qing Dynasty destroyed all the things they didn't want to see and didn't want to see, except for the collection of a small number of scientific and technological works of peasants, doctors and astronomical algorithms, and some of the works were abridged and revised, many scientific and technological works were destroyed along with some novels and dramas of the previous dynasties, and more than 3,100 kinds of books were banned and destroyed, which was simply a great disaster in history. As a result, even these scattered drawings of the parts of the divine arm bow have completely disappeared, and future generations have to guess and I guess everyone.

At this time, Yang Hao had seen this magical strong bow with his own eyes, although it was still only a prototype, but with Li Xing's explanation, he also understood its sharpness a little. The production of this kind of bow is of course much more difficult than ordinary bows, although its main body is based on strong mountain mulberry wood, but it is a composite material, and the arrows it uses are much shorter than ordinary arrows, but although the arrows are relatively thin, due to the extremely fast rate of fire, three hundred steps of the hole is not a problem, hitting the target is piercing, and the general armor is not resistant, so its lethality is still very terrible.

Listening to Li Xing's explanation, Yang Hao suddenly thought of an important question and hurriedly asked, "This bow ...... How long does it take to build one? How much does it cost compared to an ordinary bow? ”

The most advanced is not necessarily the most practical, some advanced weapons, because the money and time spent to make a piece are too long, they cannot withstand the wear and tear of war, and they are impossible to use in actual combat, which Yang Hao still knows.

Li Xing said with a smile: "Now all the parts casting molds have to be made from scratch, the steel also needs to be quenched, and the various materials for making bows have only been shipped, so it is slower." If I bring out a dozen apprentices, everything is ready, and I can make a dozen bows in a month. As for the money spent, it should be eighty percent more expensive than an ordinary bow. ”

The cost is well worth the cost of human life in the war, and the production speed is very fast. If we want to expand production, of course, we need to recruit a large number of workers, and if we can form a flow operation, the speed will be much faster. Yang Hao pondered and nodded happily.

At this moment, someone arrived in a hurry and reported: "My lord, the Zhejia family has sent dozens of carts of weapons and armor, and Master Fan is looking for you everywhere." ”

"Oh? Come on. Yang Hao was overjoyed, and after leaving the cave in a hurry, Yang Hao suddenly saved up a matter and said, "Cheng Dexuan hasn't made any changes recently, right?" ”

Li Guangcen smiled: "Are you worried that he will do bad things? Don't worry, he has no foundation in Luling Prefecture, he doesn't even have a person who can be moved, he is simply blind and deaf, besides, he is the judge of Luling Mansion, it is impossible to walk around alone, and this place is hidden behind Qiang Village, he has no way of knowing. Just in case, even the people around him who listened to him, Yang Jincheng often rotated them. ”

Yang Hao nodded and sighed: "Actually, I don't want to isolate him, but what this person thinks in his heart, I really can't figure it out, it's too tiring to deal with this kind of person, so I have to stay away." As long as he doesn't come to harm me, I won't embarrass him. Steel, too, have you started procuring? ”

Li Guangcen said: "You can rest assured in this matter, there are several people in the merchants we entrusted, and there is no account to check how much steel we have purchased." As for building a tower, hehe, it's easier to do tricks and feet from it, unless someone knocks down the iron tower given by the Song Dynasty official family and weighs it by a catty, otherwise who knows how much steel is in it? Lin Pengyu is in charge of this matter, this person is very slippery, and a roll of his eyes is an idea, although Cheng Dexuan has been trained in officialdom for several years, he is not as good as this old fox. ”

Yang Hao also smiled, Lin Pengyu was one of the henchmen he focused on cultivating. Lin Pengyu came from the Northern Han Kingdom, and his whole family settled here, so there was no problem with the loyalty of this highly regarded staff. In fact, Fan Siqi is also loyal, he is a very traditional literati, after recognizing a lord, that loyalty is more reliable than a person like Lin Pengyu who cares about the gains and losses of interests, and you will never have to worry that someone like him will betray you.

But this man has reached the point of stupidity, and in his eyes, the world is black and white is white, and he does not believe in the gray area in the middle. For such a person, he can rest assured that he can be entrusted with finance, accounting, and copywriting, but he is not the material to let him play with others, and if he knows that Yang Hao has some means that are not suitable for putting on the table, he will inevitably have to be bitter. People make the best use of their talents, his talents are not in this aspect, and there are some things that Yang Hao has to hide from him.

Yang Hao's magic knife sacrifice, Cheng Dexuan was really idle for several days, but he was born to work hard. Although he was idle on official business, he didn't let himself be idle, and at the moment he was writing in his room, writing about Yang Hao's recent close movement with Fuzhou, and the fact that he was fighting and pulling Zhuqiang, plus his own speculations.

After the last letter was passed through the "businessmen" who came to Luling Prefecture to do business, it was exchanged for a harshly worded dictation from Zhao Kuangyin, in which not only refuted him completely, but also asked him to cooperate sincerely with Yang Hao to ensure that Luling Prefecture would gain a firm foothold in this place, and if necessary, it would be understandable to use some means, and he trusted and connived at Yang Hao very much between words.

No, Dexuan was not defeated by Zhao Guan's dictation, his secret recitals were one after another, he was not afraid of Zhao Guan's reprimand, if Zhao Guan's family really defended Yang Hao, he could be transferred away, why should he be solemnly reprimanded? Sometimes, the harder you scold, the more it proves that he sees you as his own person, which Cheng Dexuan knows very well.

Moreover, there is a Zhao Guangyi behind him, Zhao Kuangyin has a very deep brotherhood for this brother, the weight of his words in front of Zhao Kuangyin can be imagined, the accumulation of destruction can be sold gold, and the accumulation of slander can grind bones, not to mention that Yang Hao is bold and reckless, many things are not that he Cheng Dexuan speaks with a clear conscience, this chapter is handed over one by one, and then the Nanyafu Yin beats the side drum, he does not believe that Yang Hao, a person who has no foundation in the court, cannot be moved.

After the last word was written, Cheng Dexuan blew the letter paper and carefully folded it into his arms. Under the pull of the Tang family, the businessmen rushed to Luling Prefecture in an endless stream, and his secret letter could be sent out soon, thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a sneer on his lips: "This medicine...... It's almost down, Yang Hao, Yang Hao, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, when this Luling Prefecture grows into a towering tree, will you bury the bone tree, or wander the world? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Orifu sent enough armor and weapons to equip fifteen hundred men. The main weapon is the bow, supplemented by broadsword and axe, and it is suitable for fighting against the enemy, which is mainly cavalry. Although those clothes and armor were all leather armor, but when they were put on, and then they put on military bows and neat weapons, the regimental training people who were originally dressed in weapons and all kinds immediately took on a new look, and they had a bit of the atmosphere of a soldier.

At the same time, the Luling Prefecture Tuanlian was also supplementing and expanding, in addition to the local Han people, some people were also recruited from the attached Qiang tribes. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers is very impressive, especially because they have a strong will to fight, and although they encounter a strong enemy, they rarely retreat in panic, so they will become a strong force with a little training, and the training cost is extremely low.

Moreover, recruiting Qiang people and breaking up the mixing with Han soldiers can quickly dispel the sense of alienation between the feudal and Han people and speed up their integration.

As for the people who were selected from the original people to escort Yang Hao to the Yeli tribe, they all have a certain foundation in martial arts, and their combat effectiveness is still relatively strong in the original people's strong team.

Yang Hao took this main role is to bluff the team and merchants on the road, these people each got a silk garment, this silk garment is worn in the outer garment, Yang Hao went to visit Li Xing's bow and arrow production progress, suddenly remembered that he used to read a description from what magazine, said that silk is very flexible, Genghis Khan found this characteristic, he ordered all soldiers to wear silk underwear, since then silk underwear has become a kind of protective clothing for Mongolian archers, arrows are difficult to shoot through silk underwear, It makes it easier to pull out the arrowhead, which can avoid the wound from increasing due to the drawing of the arrow, and greatly reduces the casualties of soldiers. If there is such a method, of course he will use it for his own soldiers.

It was a very leisurely march. They traveled along the Hengshan Mountain Range, the Hengshan Mountain Range is the sphere of influence of the Yeli Clan, and after sweeping away the Qiang people, now the large and small tribes scattered in the Hengshan Mountain Range no longer dare to anger Yang Hao.

If Xia Zhou, the only threat to Yang Hao, wanted to send a large army to attack him, he would have to travel a long way through the territory of the six clans of the party that was still in a state of hostility to each other, although they were now in a state of hostility to them, and finally entered the sphere of influence of the Yeli clan, which was too risky.

In such a state, they sent a small group of people and horses to no avail, and the team of people and horses could not hide from others, and Yang Hao went all the way to the Yeli tribe, the time of travel was uncertain, and the route of travel was uncertain, even if Xiazhou was desperate and sent a large army to chase and kill, it was difficult to find his traces, and there was only one target if he wanted to start: Luling Prefecture. It is precisely because of this analysis and consideration that Yang Hao left the main force in Luling Prefecture.

As he expected, the journey was very quiet, occasionally passing by some small tribes, as soon as he saw the strict military appearance, and learned that they were the men and horses of Luling Prefecture, those Qiang people would immediately show a look of awe and respect. On the grassland, it is always the strong who is king, and the grassland people only recognize the strong strength and only bow to those who have the strength.

Their respect made those people of Luling Prefecture who had just become soldiers from the people feel heartfelt pride, a kind of glory and pride that belonged to the soldiers. In terms of combat skills, they can't compete with the steppe knights who grew up on horseback, but in terms of morale and cohesion, they are no longer inferior to anyone.

Twilight has fallen, here is a bare yellow earth, camels carrying heavy goods swaying camel bells, people feel like walking in the desert, a round of blood-red sun in the quiet dusk silently falling into the distant mountains, in front of a sun-drenched river as bright as gold.

Yang Hao's team camped beside the river, one camel after another knelt down, the heavy cargo boxes were removed, and a tent had just been half-erected, Yang Hao went to the river, untied his leather boots to breathe, and washed his face with the cool river water.

Suddenly, an arrow flew from a distance with a terrible whistling sound, and the arrow was exhausted, and it was falling into the golden river, disappearing without a trace, this is the message from the police post they have arranged.

Yang Hao, who was squatting by the river to wash his face, raised his head, and saw Mu En arrive next to his war horse in a few arrow steps, and jumped on the horse as soon as he turned over, and shouted loudly: "Sweet wine, protect your lord!" ”

"I ......" Before Yang Hao finished speaking, the sweet wine that was drawing water next to him threw a water bladder, swooped over and picked him up, and walked straight to the circle surrounded by camels and goods, so that Yang Hao's feet did not touch the ground. Yang Hao shouted angrily: "My boots ......"

He turned his head and saw Tang Yanyan standing up from the river, fearing that she would lose, and shouted urgently: "Miss Tang......"

Tang Yanyan pinched Xiao Man's waist, and the roots of his teeth itched with hatred: "What's the matter, you still can't call this big girl to pick up boots for you, I owe you in my last life?" ”

Thinking about it, she still ran over and picked up Yang Hao's shoes, and chased after him angrily......
