Staying in Jixian County, Zu Zhao let the three hundred ghost cavalry start training, this time it seems that the Yellow Turban Army in the entire Jixian County is extremely embarrassed, but Zu Zhao is extremely clear, this is because Cheng Zhiyuan underestimated himself, but if he really was on the battlefield, his three hundred ghost cavalry would not be able to fight against a thousand Yellow Turban Army!

The battlefield is always ruthless, victory or defeat is impermanent, and only with a long combat power can you have enough confidence.

The three hundred ghost cavalry captured fifty bows and arrows in the battle of the first line of heaven, and this time they were all equipped with sons and daughters who were good at riding and archery, and they were training the horse farm at the moment.

"Eldest Prince, that is the nearest trial ground for the wooden spear!" Zu Ping introduced to Zu Zhao.

The training ground of the wooden spear has a very large field, which is full of straw people, the distance of this straw man is about 70 meters, and the distribution is not very even, what can be exercised is the quasi-head after throwing the wooden spear.

Zu Zhao looked over and found that a young man's projection of a wooden spear was extremely accurate, and almost every blow could hit the chest of the straw man, which was very surprising.

"Call that boy here!" Zu Zhao pointed to the young man who was projecting the wooden spear.

"Zu Anu come here, the eldest prince calls you!" Zu Ping shouted at the young man.

This young man was dark and extremely rough-looking, but he had the name of a Zu A-nu, and the only thing that interested Zu Zhao was that the young man's eyes were unusually bright.

"Zu A'a Nu has seen the eldest prince, I don't know what the eldest prince has commanded?" The young man stepped forward and respectfully saw Zu Zhao.

Zu Zhao pointed to the straw man in the distance, "Why did you shoot so accurately?" ”

Zu Anu hurriedly said: "Back to the eldest son, the little one used to play by the wild river, and often sharpened it with a branch before inserting fish, and over time, he got used to it, and those straw people in the distance were the same as the fish in the water!" ”

Zu Anu said while signaling the essentials of the action, hearing Zu Zhao is nodding again and again, what Zu Anu said is very simple is to maintain the balance of the body, use the moment of turning the waist, rely on the waist strength to throw the wooden spear, and then use the balance of the body to control the target of the wooden spear. At the suggestion of Zu Anu, Zu Zhao also came down to practice, and then Zu Ping and other teenagers also came, and the wooden spear trial ground was very lively for a while.

Zu Zhao threw the wooden spear again and again, one afternoon there were green tendons on the arms and blood bubbles in the hands, the target of the wooden spear also came out preliminarily, it can throw a distance of 70 meters to 80 meters, and has the target head of eight or nine out of ten, the wooden spear throwing is simpler than the bow and arrow shooting, and the lethality is great, riding on the war horse and throwing the wooden spear itself carries a galloping inertia of the war horse, and it is possible to directly pierce the enemy in front of it, which is the instinctive difference between the wooden spear and the bow and arrow.

……

In the evening, Zu Zhao was called out of the barracks by Zu Ping, who was a big sweater, saying that the old man who sold tung oil refused to leave, and had to follow Zu Zhao to be a cow and a horse, with a helpless face.

"The old man who sells tung oil?" Zu Zhao was stunned, he remembered that when the fire burned a line of sky, he crawled away and leaked the news, so he asked the two ancestral disciples to take care of the old man's caravan, and then the first line of heaven was victorious, Zu Zhao ordered the young man of the ancestral family to release the old man and the caravan, and also took out a large amount of silver to be considered comfort.

"The old man has seen the general, and the old man begged the general to take us in! Our oil family has been starting from oil for generations, relying on a handicraft to survive, such as today's chaos we craftsmen are afraid that there is no way to live, I hope the general can take us in and give us a way to live! The old man knelt down as soon as he finished speaking.

Zu Zhao was stunned, this is thick-skinned enough, and now he is still here after the money and goods are cleared?

Zu Ping next to him saw that Zu Zhao's face was a little unhappy, and kicked the old man away with a flying kick: "You old man, do you think my eldest son is easy to talk to?" Sprinkle here? This is the barracks, where can you be presumptuous? ”

Zu Zhao waved his hand and motioned to Zu Ping not to do anything more, after all, this old man had a merit for them.

"I wonder what your oil family can do for me? How can I give your oil family a way to live? Zu Zhao asked, he has never underestimated these craftsmen, the lower the people, the more great wisdom they have, if he hadn't met this pair of father and son who bought tung oil, maybe they would still be fighting the front line.

"Lao Yu knows the process of making leather armor, and he can make leather armor for generals and generals, and he can also oil leather armor, which can make leather armor and armor difficult to pierce with sharp arrows!"

Hearing this, Zu Zhao's eyes lit up suddenly, he had been thinking about making iron armor and wearing armor designed by himself, but this armor was like an iron pass, the design was extremely unreasonable, and the craftsmanship level was also very poor, and the weight was very heavy.

"Tell me about it!"

Zu Zhao looked at the old man in front of him.

"The old man once stayed in the Imperial Horse Prison, and also worked as a handyman in the military department, and also worked as a master craftsman in the weapons workshop, and later retired because of his disability, and when he returned home, he wrote down the matter of making leather armor for future generations, among which the house that made tung oil was separated from many methods in the weapons workshop!"

"The eldest prince, this old man said that he is proud, but who has ever seen him make leather armor, I am afraid that he is a braggart old man, the eldest prince still don't believe him!"

Zu Ping said on the side, he felt that this old man was not so magical, a low-level merchant who sold oil, and had the ability to make leather armor? That is the level of a master craftsman, and he is regarded as a guest by various local tyrants.

Zu Zhao waved his hand and motioned for him not to speak, but asked slowly: "You said that you can make leather armor, so what materials can be made?" ”

This is an ingredient of the school.

"Leather armor can be made of rhinoceros skin and whale skin, the best thing to use should be whale skin from the East China Sea, there are often whales on the seaside, there is a brave man with a spear into the body of this whale, and then use a sailboat to drag this whale up, whale meat can be eaten, and this whale skin can be made into strong leather armor, and this whale skin can be repeatedly concocted to block the attack of sharp arrows!"

Zu Zhao couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard the whale skin and rhinoceros skin, and now that there are many wars, where are there people to kill the whale skin and rhinoceros skin? Saying a thousand ways and ten thousand is still a matter of looking at the moon in the water.

"There is a batch of whale skins here, and these whale skins have been accumulated by the old man for a long time!" The oil seller saw the change in Zu Zhao's face, and hurriedly explained that he had whale skin in his hand, it turned out that this oil seller often went to the beach to buy this whale, this whale seems to be very big, but the taste is not very good, so the price is ridiculously cheap, and this oil seller directly got the whale back to refine the oil and mix it in this tung oil, although there is a suspicion of fraud, but the price is half of others, so it has been very popular, and these whale skins are not useless, because there is a layer of oiliness on them, It can be used as firewood.

He didn't dare to hide it in front of Zu Zhao, and at the moment he told him the trick of doing business, which made Zu Zhao stunned, it seems that the profiteers had it in the Three Kingdoms era, and they were so treacherous that they could use whale oil mixed with tung oil, and it was no wonder that the oil burned exceptionally in the first line of the sky, so it was.

"If you can dedicate this leather armor method, I can let you go to the ancestral land of Xu Wuwu's ancestral family, where there are peaceful days, you can follow my ancestral family, as long as my ancestral family is there, you will get rich one day!" Zu Zhao smiled and spoke.

The oil seller immediately let his middle-aged son take his hand and let all the members of the caravan take out the whale skin to make leather armor, in fact, the production of leather armor is very simple, Zu Zhao almost understands it at a glance, the most important thing is the treatment of tung oil, because the old man's tung oil is made by mixing tung oil and whale oil, so after the leather armor is made, it is dried and soaked three times, and Zuihou makes a bright leather armor, which is extremely light and brisk, but it is extremely flexible.

"Go and put this leather armor on the straw man, and I'll shoot an arrow!"

Zu Zhao commanded.

A woman had already taken a leather armor and put it on the straw man.

Sou!

An arrow was fired, and there was a white spot on the leather armor, but it didn't even shoot through.

The oil seller and the middle-aged son couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but they pinned their hopes on leather armor.

"Good!" Zu Zhao Daxiao, the problem that had plagued him for a long time was actually completed by two oil sellers, and he was happy for a while.

"A thousand taels of silver! I hope you can craft the entire leather armor so we can equip it! "Zu Zhao daxiao, casually motioned to Zu Ping to take out the silver and reward it, the so-called three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, and the people really have great wisdom.

The oil seller father and son smiled with the silver reward of one thousand taels, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts that they had made the right bet, this young general was really a nobleman, and the life and future of the father and son were on the line with the young general.

……

For seven days in a row, Zu Zhao led three hundred ghost horses to train secretly, in Zu Zhao's heart, to make the three hundred ghost horses come and go like fire, killing the Yellow Turban Army fart and urine flow is the most fundamental purpose, in this troubled world, these three hundred ghost horses are the foundation of their own foothold and the protection of the Zuihou of the ancestral family, which cannot be missed.

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the invincible bow and horse are also the goals that Zu Zhao has been pursuing, and with the baptism of war, Zu Zhao hopes that these three hundred ghost horses will become a real invincible army.

In this troubled world, maybe one day there will be a day when his ancestor Zhao Ma will set foot in the world, although he has always hidden this ambition in his heart, not knowing what the future will be like, but it does not prevent him from having such ambitions.
