Lu Zhi told Yuan Shu's abnormality to remind Ah Niu that although he served as the Taishou of Luoyang, not everyone among the Kwantung princes sold the account.

Due to the "heroic and tenacious struggle of the Kwantung princes to drive away the evil national thief Dong Zhuo", and the emperor was also invited to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, the fighters who fought for the country naturally did not obey the orders of Chang'an controlled by Dong Zhuo (even if it was really the emperor's order, as long as it did not meet his wishes, it could be said that Dong Zhuo was overbearing), and the Kwantung region was in fact in a state of anarchy. It will take some time for the princes to adapt to this new situation and expand their armaments, and since Luoyang retreated, they are busy recruiting troops, and no one should be interested in Luoyang in the short term.

But this does not mean that Luoyang can sit back and relax, on the contrary, if Fengxiang's reconstruction task is to be completed smoothly, the difficulty is not ordinarily great.

It is true that Luoyang is now in ruins, but the status of this ancient city in people's minds will not be forgotten because the city was destroyed. Most of the ancients believed in the sayings of "Qi Number", "Feng Shui", "Dragon Vein", etc., and the Eastern Han Dynasty royal capital, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, is undoubtedly such a feng shui treasure land, and will always have a considerable status in the minds of NPCs.

Among the Kwantung princes, no matter who can gain a firm foothold in Luoyang, they can give people the impression and illusion of "this person has the spirit of a king", and the intangible benefits that this impression can bring are no longer measurable by money.

Luoyang is not a paradise!

Even those princes who sent aid materials may come in the next moment, and Ah Niu even suspects that if it weren't for Lu Zhi's deterrent, maybe Luoyang City would have welcomed n groups of "guests" who like to talk with swords and arrows.

A certain city lord quietly said that he wanted to gradually liberate the troops stationed in Luoyang from the clean-up work, and the focus of the troops began to turn back to their old jobs, that is, they were aware of the dangers they might face. While reconstruction is important, Luoyang's security must not be sloppy.

Ah Niu's impromptu decision has made great progress.

In the next few days, the 478o villagers from Longfei City also arrived in Luoyang in 6 consecutive years, plus the displaced people who have been constantly refreshing these days, the number of new villagers is almost the same as the number of troops. A small number of these new residents were added to the buildings, and most of them were directly involved in the reconstruction.

The troops of the Flying Wing Battalion, Fire Cloud City, and Maple Leaf City were withdrawn from the reconstruction work one after another.

Under the leadership of Zhao Yun, the Flying Wing Battalion was soon put into training, and the vast no-man's land outside Luoyang City was a natural training site for the cavalry. The training that starts early in the morning every day is shocking.

While the Flying Wing Battalion was training, the troops of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City began to clean up the city walls, as well as build fortifications such as arrow towers, guard boxes, and horse rejections. Prior to this, due to the large number of people cleaning up the ruins of the city, and everyone subconsciously believed that Luoyang was safe, the troops only set up a small number of sentry posts near the center of the city, and it was still unprecedented to expand the defense line to the first line of the city wall.

A certain city lord understands that the city wall of Luoyang is far from being comparable to the wall wall of a first-class city in terms of thickness, width and length, and the troops of the 4ooo people are constantly busy, and the city wall of Luoyang still looks deserted. The current strength can barely take on the responsibility of vigilance, if it really encounters an enemy attack, the troops of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City can only be delusional if they want to defend against the wall.

The real combat effectiveness of the troops stationed in Luoyang is still the 1ooo flying wing battalion!

The personnel of the Flying Wing Battalion led by Zhao Yun have been replaced several times, and the current cavalry unit has at least greatly improved in terms of quality, but what is lacking is that the training time is too short, and the vast majority of recruits have no real combat experience. These problems are exactly what Zhao Yun has been trying to solve.

Before leaving Fengxiang for Luoyang, the equipment of the Flying Wing Battalion had been changed, and the master tailor Zhao Jiang carefully designed a new armor for the Flying Wing Battalion: chain mail.

It is a very lightweight, soft, and close-fitting armor, 38% lighter than the previous light armor, and the cavalry wearing chain mail has better mobility. What's more, the defense of the chain mail has increased by more than two percent compared to the original equipment, and there are small pieces of thin iron fixed on the armor surface, which tightly wrap the warrior's body and can better resist the damage of the weapon.

At Zhao Yun's request, the weapons of the Flying Wing Battalion were all unified into spears and strong bows, and Zilong himself was a master of using guns and bows.

It's a brand new wing battalion!

The cavalry made the gun fall nothing, a certain city lord had some doubts about Zhao Yun's choice of a strong bow instead of a strong crossbow for the troops, and the successful precedent of using a big yellow crossbow by the first dead soldier made a certain city lord can't help but have the idea of "all troops are equipped with a big yellow crossbow".

Regarding Ah Niu's questioning, Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Fourth brother, the effect of cavalry using a strong bow may be better than using a strong crossbow." ”

According to Zhao Yun's explanation: Although the strong crossbow has the advantages of simple use, strong lethality, and high shooting accuracy, it has a fatal flaw - it can only shoot flat! This also means that the crossbowman can only strike on one side when facing the enemy, at most it is to form three fires in a standing position, a half-squat, and a squatting position, but the surface of the blow is still only the first side.

The bow is different, and by throwing a bow that wounds the enemy, it can form a large network of fire lightly. The covering rain of arrows can not only threaten the enemies in the front row, but even the enemies that the crossbowmen can't attack have to bow their heads under the attack of the strong archers!

For example, a duel in which 100 archers stand in a row with 100 crossbowmen within 100 paces (both within the effective range of bows and crossbows) may be a loser or a slight disadvantage for the archers; But if you add a row of men behind the two teams, then the archers will definitely start to have the upper hand; What if the ten-row archers faced off against the ten-row crossbowmen? It would almost certainly be a one-sided slaughter, with the archers' arrows enveloping the crossbowmen with ease, while the crossbowmen could only inflict effective damage on the first row of enemies!

No one will really do such an experiment, and it is unlikely that there will be so many NPC soldiers who don't want to live, what Zhao Yun wants to express is: After the number of troops reaches a certain size, it is better to use a crossbow than a bow, the larger the size of the army, the better the power of the archers can be revealed!

"The most important thing cavalry needs is to rush into battle quickly, and the vast majority of cavalry battles are fought in motion, and it is rare to be able to stand there and shoot at the opponent. We Fengxiang already have the first dead soldier to use the big yellow crossbow superbly, so let's make the Flying Wing Battalion a force that can wield the greatest combat effectiveness in sports warfare. ”

-- In sports warfare, the accuracy of the crossbow's attack will be significantly reduced, and even if you get to the dead first, you dare not guarantee that you will still be accurate in the movement, let alone the cavalry riding your horse and galloping wildly.

Ah Niu didn't really want to interfere in Zhao Yun's army construction, how to train troops and fight a war has never been something that a city lord is good at, and "respecting the professional opinions of professionals" has always been Ah Niu's motto. Zhao Yun's words not only replaced the long-range weapons of the Flying Wing Battalion with strong bows, but also made Ah Niu dispel the original intention of equipping all the troops with the big yellow crossbow, which is of great significance!

The soldiers of Huoyun and Maple Leaf were originally a little resentful about the training of the Flying Wing Battalion and they had to work, but when they saw the training of the Flying Wing Battalion on the city wall, and when all the spears of the 1ooo troops were assaulting, the rows of cavalry accurately stabbed the target with their spears, like the indomitable momentum of the waves lining the shore, which couldn't help but make them gasp.

The awe-inspiring murderous aura, the precise and tacit running cover of each detachment, and the stabbing of spears like a swarm of one hundred and ten poisonous snakes attacked, which made the troops of Emperor Wu of Han and Zong Wuyan tremble. The generals of the two support armies privately compared the combat strength of their headquarters with those of the Flying Wing Battalion, and as for the final result...... You only need to look at the miserable faces of the two transferred generals.

With the Flying Wing Battalion Zhuyu in front, the troops of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City could only honestly stand guard and build fortifications.

This is also what Ah Niu is happy to see, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zong Wuyan sent forty percent of the troops in the territory to Luoyang without hesitation, and Ah Niu did not want their troops to suffer too many losses.

A certain city lord had already privately confessed to Zilong: "If Luoyang is attacked, unless the enemy is huge and unavoidable, it is best not to use the 4,000 reinforcements to fight a tough battle, or use our own troops to rest assured." Most of the Flying Wing Battalion are also recruits, but Su zhì is obviously superior, and as long as it is trained strictly, it is likely to become a strong army. ”

Of course, Zhao Yun would not have any opinion on this, in fact, in Zilong's opinion, the troops of Huoyun City and Maple Leaf City were not vulnerable at all, "Even our Fengxiang's Shanzi Battalion is much stronger than them!" Unless absolutely necessary, Zhao Yun does not want these "civilians with weapons" to lose their lives for no reason.

"It is the responsibility of the Flying Wing Battalion to defend Luoyang, the most dangerous task will be completed by our own troops, unless the strength of the Flying Wing Battalion alone is no longer able to control the situation, otherwise the fourth brother does not have to worry about the safety of those two friendly forces!"

Zhao Yun promised and did so. (To be continued)
