Although he showed a big face in front of his colleagues, Pang Tong was not happy......

In fact, there are many kinds of new weapons and equipment developed, but the only ones that can be shown off are these basic models, otherwise special tactics may be exposed.

Originally, there were three kinds of equipment to be displayed, and one was an imitation of the Divine Arm Crossbow - it needs to be wound by foot, with a range of more than 200 steps, and the effective killing distance is more than double that of the existing standard crossbow, and even exceeds the longbow!

Compared to the longbow, the crossbow itself is a short-range weapon, and at close range, the crossbow is faster and more powerful, but ...... Because the crossbow cannot be equipped with a tail fin, even if the muzzle velocity exceeds that of the bow, it is far from being able to match the longbow in range.

It's like a dart - if you remove the tail of the dart, the power is doubled, and it is difficult to tie the dart to the target plate.

At present, the Ministry of Industry's divine arm crossbow, using foot-pedal winding, is equivalent to converting more power into potential energy, which is weaker than the Song Dynasty's divine arm crossbow, probably because there is no industry in the material.

Even so, the range and power are already terrifying......

It's just that in the previous battle of Jiangxia, the repeating crossbow that appeared in Huang Zu's army made Pang Tong reluctant to display the divine arm crossbow.

Although in comparison, the two should have their own strengths - the penetration power and range of the Divine Arm Crossbow are far from being comparable to the Divine Arm Crossbow, but it is true that on the battlefield, the Repeater is more dominant than the Divine Arm Crossbow in the medium and short range.

Especially in the case of obtaining samples, the Ministry of Engineering has not been able to imitate them, and the most important part of the bracket has many settings that are similar to improper opening and self-destruction.

In this case, Pang Tong, who was striving for perfection, was unwilling to take out the Divine Arm Crossbow......

At the same time, Pang Tong also took the opportunity to suggest to Bai Tu to further expand the recruitment of institutional talents.

"Yes, it is precisely because of these heavy weapons that our generals can have fewer casualties and less waste of manpower! This time, we won a complete victory in Jiangxia, relying on the lives of the three armies and the commander to take the lead, but the opponent's crossbow also caused us a lot of trouble......

From now on, the Ministry of Rites will cooperate with the Ministry of Industry to increase the recruitment of institutional talents in the selection test and the recruitment hall, not only in Yangzhou...... In Jingzhou and the Central Plains, it must also be publicized! If there is a suitable person, you can also recommend it from the best. In addition, the cultivation of reserve talents cannot be relaxed, and the projects of the Ministry of Civil Affairs such as water conservancy to be promoted in the future are also indispensable for the talents of institutional studies, and the corresponding teaching categories should also be set up at the county level and above. Bai Tu said.

This is also something that Bai Tu has already had a case for, and even this itself is one of the original intentions of establishing the meritocracy examination and the township and county school system......

If it had been raised at the beginning, the resistance would have been quite large, so the Ministry of Rites had always been Confucian enlightenment in education before.

However, now that the time is getting more and more ripe, not only is the resistance in the past much smaller, but also for the livelihood projects of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the military industry of the Ministry of Industry, more and more supporters have emerged.

Baitu also began to promote the transformation of the township school and county school system in due course......

Even if some people find that this kind of transformation from the foundation of education will bring about changes over time, and they are resistant to it, they can no longer shake the general trend that has gradually formed.

After the three hundred tiger guards changed their clothes, not only did the blades in their hands look more handsome, but the "three modes" were also opened in terms of battle armor.

After entering the state of full armament, the torso of the gilded armor is also much more complex and thicker, and at first glance it looks like a golden jade armor......

Of course, it's just "like", in fact, because of the increase in weight and the impact on flexibility, in fact, in the fully armed state, all other performance of the armor except for the defense power is fully reduced.

However, the defense will not be weaker than the bonus effect of the Jade Warframe......

To a certain extent, the Foot Man Armor and the Chengji World Battle Armor are a perfect match, there is no problem of difficult transportation, and it can be changed in one second!

At this moment, another military intelligence was sent, and Tai Shici was sent to Bai Tu alone - although he didn't see the messenger, he would be sent to Bai Pattern at this time, which was obviously an important military situation.

It's just that after Bai Tu read it, he didn't say anything, but just informed Tai Shici of something, and handed him his official seal...... Obviously, he wanted him to go to the Chengji Mansion to pass the order on his behalf!

Many people noticed this scene, but since Bai Tu didn't mention it, no one would take the initiative to ask.

……

Later, during the banquet, Sima Lang approached Jian Yong with the help of staggering.

Jian Yong is Liu Bei's ace diplomat, with a good temperament and good looks, and he is good at talking, as long as he is there, no matter how many people are in the chat, no matter how high or low the status, he will not feel left out.

Kong Rong specially didn't let You Heng come over today, otherwise Jian Yong might meet an opponent - if You Heng was determined to provoke him, would Jian Yong be tricked?

Sima Lang is also a man of words, and Jian Yong is a chess opponent, and after blowing each other's Shilin, Sima Lang began to openly and secretly probe Xuzhou's attitude towards the General's Mansion.

In Sima Lang's opinion, Bai Tu's armor can only be sold to Xuzhou and the Prime Minister's Mansion......

Jian Yong did not show any effort, and did not follow Sima Lang's hint to mention the matter of mutual notification and price reduction between Xuzhou and the Prime Minister's Mansion and the "transaction with the General's Mansion", nor did he positively reveal whether Xuzhou Mansion would have a transaction plan.

After Sima Lang worked hard a few times, he also understood that the staff of Xuzhou Mansion was now very jealous of the Prime Minister's Mansion because the Prime Minister invited Liu Xuzhou to Xudu!

Even because of the matter of awarding Jiuxi, Xuzhou Mansion and the General's Mansion are not as harmonious as before, but ...... No matter how close it is to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

And Bai Tu on the main seat, at this time, was slightly drunk and whispered something to Lu Lingqi, as if she was letting her be by her side, but ...... Only the white eyes are harvested.

In fact, Bai Tu had already mentioned to Lu Lingqi whether he wanted to get along in a different way, such as ......

But there is no example, Lu Lingqi directly refused - after the women of the Shang Dynasty were good, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, there were no female generals.

Under today's custom system, female generals only exist in the "anti-thief" camp.

Before, Lu Bujun belonged to stragglers, and as Lu Bu's only daughter, it didn't hurt even if she took a military rank independently.

But...... Now the Great General's Mansion of Baitu is already the top prince in the world, and he has his own rules.

At this time, let Lu Lingqi be the chief of the guard, Bai Tu has already suffered a lot of pressure, if she is replaced by "Mrs. Chuhou", I am afraid that she can only teach her husband and children in the mansion, and she will not be free.

Although Lu Lingqi's reasons for refusing are strange, in fact, Bai Tu can feel that Lu Lingqi feels that the chief of the guard is much more pleasant than the "Mrs. Chuhou", not only can he lead the troops, but even the time he spends by the side of the marquis of Chu is far more than any lady.

Bai Tu is also up to her for the time being, after all, the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and no one pays attention to him when he directly shouts "women can hold up half the sky".

……

At this time, in the backyard of the General's Mansion, on the way to Chengji's Mansion, I saw a man in green walking sneakily, sometimes looking left and right, and seemed to be very nervous.

But the more you are afraid of something, the more you are ...... Suddenly, a figure sounded behind him: "This general, today's banquet is in the atrium, and there are also people who are near the left side of the atrium, so they have taken the wrong way here, right?" ”

"Ahh I...... Yes, I'm relieved, cough cough, I seem to be a little drunk, thank you for the way. The man in green was startled and quickly explained.

When I turned around, I found that the person who spoke should be a woodcutter, but although his voice was hoarse, he was very young.

Seeing that it was just a woodcutter, the man in green breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time complained to himself in his heart - this is because he is too close to "revenge", so he lost his mind?

was actually a woodcutter holding firewood, and he didn't hear footsteps when he approached his back!

The woodcutter stared at him for a moment, then nodded, and walked to the woodhouse beside him.

"Huh? General Ling, you are the protagonist of today, why do you have to hide from alcohol here? Tai Shi Ci was coming from the direction of Chengji Mansion, and after seeing the man in green, he laughed and teased.

Yes, this man in green is not an outsider, it is the young general Ling Tong who has the first merit in the battle of Jiangxia, as a representative of Sun Ce's department, who participated in the banquet!

Seeing Tai Shi Ci, Ling Tong's heartbeat suddenly leaked half a beat, he tried his best to relax his face, his eyelids drooped down to block his eyes, and he said drunkly: "General Tai Shi, don't tease, I'm just stupid for a while, how can I afford this credit?" ”

"Hahaha, when you dare to rush, you can be regarded as a brave general!" Tai Shi Ci said and patted the young man on the shoulder.

didn't see it, under the drooping eyelids, Ling Tong's eyes revealed even stronger hatred after hearing the words, and he tried his best to control it and only said one sentence: "Yes, it's difficult to dare to rush when you rush...... After all, the first to climb, ten merits...... Nine deaths! ”

Tai Shi Ci only thought of some comrade-in-arms, so he said: "It seems that the little general is really drunk, I'll send you back to your residence...... Let's go around the atrium, lest you be caught again and poured wine. ”

"No, I'll just blow the wind......" Ling Tong said refusal, but followed behind Tai Shici.

Not bad.

Whether it is Tai Shici or Bai Tu, the memory has been blurred, and even ...... Sun Ce was also negligent and missed a story!

Before Bai Tu galloped to Lu Kang in Shucheng, when Sun Ce attacked the city and Bai Tu and others defended the city, there was a green armor general, thirty years old, slightly bearded, also gilded, and also the first general...... As a result, after being combined by Tai Shi Ci, he was shot in the chest and stabbed on the city tower. (See Chapter 73)

That is the father of Ling Tong - Ling Cao!

Although it was the enemy on the battlefield at that time, each was its own master, but after all, it was the revenge of killing his father, and Ling Tong never let go, and ...... Not long after that, Sun Ce joined Bai Tu's command, and Ling Tongming did not mention this matter again on his face, which made Sun Ce forget to pay attention to this relationship.

Ling Tong only entered the army two years after his father's death, that is, last year, because of the legacy of his elders and his own courage to fight, he soon became a lieutenant, and won the first place in the battle of Echeng......

There has never been a moment when Ling Tong felt that the opportunity for revenge was so close to him-Tai Shici walked defenselessly in front of him at this time, and his back was completely exposed to himself!

Ling Tong nervously adjusted his breathing, on the one hand, he saw the figure of his father and the voice urging him to take revenge, and on the other hand, after killing Tai Shici, not only was he captured, but Sun Ce's entire department was also implicated, demoted to demoted, scattered to dispersed, and refrigerated to refrigerate......

Although Tai Shici heard it, he only thought it was because he was drunk, and instead chatted casually: "General Ling Xiao is young and promising, your parents must be very pleased, right?" ”

Hearing Tai Shi Ci mention his father, Ling Tong's originally tangled expression became even more cold.

"My father was also a lieutenant colonel, but he was killed in battle...... If he's still alive, he probably would! ”
