Tianwu took the bamboo bow, tried the inelastic texture of the hemp rope, and gave up the idea of shooting two arrows.

"Where can I get a bow and arrow?" Tianwu asked Zhao Yanran, if he really couldn't find it, he could only go to the black market, the bow and arrow were not cheap, and the ten times the price was too dark, and he felt that he couldn't stand it.

Zhao Yanran said: "The blacksmith shop in Zhoujia Town originally had a bow and arrow weapon, but now it must be controlled by Dadaozhai, if you still want it, you can go to Xizhou City, and you can buy anything." ”

"Xizhou City is too far away." Tian Wu shook his head.

Last time, they went to find Zhao Yanran, and walked along the woodland to the east for almost 2 hours to get out of the forest, and entered Xihe Mountain, which spread far away, and only after going out of the mountain could they reach the boundary of Xizhou.

Even if you walk the unobstructed wasteland on the north bank of the Zhoudao River, it is estimated that it will take three or four hours to ride a horse, and the terrain is unexplored along the way, who dares to go.

Zhao Yanran smiled: "Then there is a third way." ”

She looked in the direction of the west: "Ask the border army to buy." The Dayun Dynasty is now corrupt in the military and government, and the situation of blood sucking is the most serious on the side of the border army, and it is very common for soldiers to resell military funds, and the village elders don't care if they don't have anything in their hands, they just need to worry about whether you have enough money. ”

Tian Wu's heart pounded: "Do you mean that their offer is very dark?" ”

"No, they offer very low prices. But you have to get rid of enough money each time to be willing to do business with you, otherwise if you don't make enough money, you are likely to have other ideas. ”

"I see."

Tianwu nodded, as long as the quality of the arms I bought is passable, what is it if I buy more?

The only thing to worry about now is money.

At present, there are 20 taels of gold on the body, 14 pieces of small yellow croaker and 28 taels, and 48 taels of gold can be worth at least 600 yuan, which is equivalent to 600,000 yuan in purchasing power.

If you buy the basic supplies needed for the village with such a sum of money, you really want to buy as much as you want, but if it is ordnance, it is a bit insufficient.

Iron ware was a luxury in this era, and how much iron furniture each family had directly represented their affluence.

Any ordinary broadsword will cost about 10 yuan to get it back, and don't think about a high-quality bow and arrow without twenty or thirty taels.

Considering that the border army is sold cheaply, assuming that the cheap sale is regarded as a price of 3-5 times, then a bow is about 10 times, and the matching arrows, replacement bowstrings, and maintenance costs are also a lot of expenses, which are also counted as 10 times.

It only takes 30 sets of bows and arrows to squeeze him dry, but he also plans to buy horse harnesses, armor and other weapons, so following Zhao Yanran's train of thought, he feels that he is really poor.

Buy some bows and arrows first?

I made up my mind, and went back to ask Ma Wu and Liu Xi about them, these two are insiders.

When he was tired of the big gun, he looked down at the lively village under construction, and the speed of building houses was very slow.

The open-air thatched hut can be completed in two days, and the roof can be slowly added later, so that the smell does not spread out and the lighting inside the thatched hut can be ensured.

The progress of the kitchen is not slow, the key is that the warehouse cannot be built, which will drag down the time to repair the bamboo building later.

Under the improvement of Zhao Zhi and the apprentices of craftsmen, the "Tianwu" type shack has been greatly improved, and the thick trunk supports a frame built by wooden beams, covering the roof of the shed, which still cannot protect against rain, but the environment will be much better to live in.

The sign of the thorough improvement of private houses is the construction of bamboo buildings or brick houses, as for the adobe houses such as low-quality dangerous buildings, Tianwu is resolutely resisted, and if you want to do it, you can do it in one step, saving you the trouble of demolition and relocation in the future.

At seven o'clock in the evening, it was dark, Ma Wu and Liu Xi caught two rabbits and came back, although there were few prey, but two people were disgraced, sitting on the ground and panting, very abnormal, obviously what they had experienced.

Several braziers erected around the tea shed in the village are burning very vigorously, killing fish and sheep and rabbits tonight, the staple food is soup and rice, and the dish is still cold salad folded ear root and mixed cabbage.

The last few fresh berries that had not been dried were taken out and divided, and because of the fruits bought yesterday, everyone could also get some supplementary vitamins.

On each table is a small saucer, and in it are a few small jade peppers, which is terrifying.

After Tianwu finished cooking the soup and rice, he said a few words to the two maids who served as the cook, and then came back and sat down.

"Shameful, what did you find this afternoon?" He asked.

Liu Xi was a little excited: "The fight started, I watched a good show with Lao Ma for an afternoon!" Even this scene is uncomfortable to watch, so you have to be careful to hide. ”

“？” Tian Wu was suddenly curious.

Ma Wudao: "The sergeants who captured the assault beasts returned today, and at almost half the distance from our village to Zhoujia Town, they were attacked by the bandits of Dadaozhai and beat for half an afternoon!" ”

"Damn, you've run so far? What happened to the results? ”

"The big knife village is planted! There were two masters hidden in this group of sergeants, and they launched two consecutive battles in the art of war, and more than half of the more than 800 Daozhai bandits were killed and injured on the spot. ”

Ma Wu said in amazement, Tianwu was directly shocked: "This pit dad pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, and the hiding is too good!" ”

He also thought that this group of sergeants was really a group of weak chickens with low morale, but he didn't expect that hiding this one, the big knife soldiers were strong and strong, but they overturned.

"The three masters of the big knife village can all use the art of war, and there is no reason to fight back." Tianwu hurriedly asked.

Liu Xi said: "Angkor, do you think you can show the art of war at any time?" It takes luck and timing. ”

"At the beginning, Dadaozhai didn't take this group of sergeants seriously, and several leaders didn't seize the opportunity. And the two masters of the other side immediately counterattacked with the art of war, and the luck was successful, if one of the tactics can touch the critical attack, the eight hundred soldiers of the big knife village may be wiped out! ”

“……”

Tianwu shrunk his neck, this Nima's, this is how the battle in this game is fought, and the two art of war can determine the outcome of the battle, which is too brutal.

"I guess they'll be able to pass near us a little later, but don't worry, it's far from this side of the river." Ma Wu said.

Tianwu sighed: "Then do you know their identities?" ”

"Like General Guide, General Guide is a frontier general sent by the imperial court to Shanbei Kingdom, holding military power, and even the King of Shanbei doesn't dare to be too presumptuous with him."

Tianwu sensitively captured some details: "It means that now in Shanbei Kingdom, the main person who leads your border army is this Guide general?" ”

"That's right, General Guide has low grade and great real power, and the 200,000 border troops of Shanbei are in his hands. However, the materials, especially the grain, are supplied by the Shanbei Kingdom, and the King of Shanbei also has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses who fight with the Tartars, grass and people all year round, so it is now a situation of mutual containment. ”

Zhao Yanran said next to him.

"Understood." Tianwu once again learned a little about the situation in Shanbei Kingdom: "Then are there any weapons left in the place where they fought?" ”

"Don't think about it, it's all taken away, and even those who can't be used will be recycled and disposed of." Liu Xi shook his head and dispelled Tianwu's idea of wanting to take advantage.
