Chapter Twenty-Three: The Divine Crossbow Camp
13 Seeing that few people were acting, Mo Fan said again: "You have all thought about it, this is a great opportunity to make contributions and serve the country!" If you don't act now, there will be no such thing in the future. ”
Soon, people were moving forward one after another, standing at the forefront.
"General, I was originally a crossbowman, and I asked to join the crossbow unit." A tall soldier said loudly.
"General, I am eager to go into battle to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, please give me this opportunity!" A young soldier with a young face said equally loudly.
"I am born with great strength, and I can definitely use the Zhuge Repeater perfectly! I also asked to join the repeater troops. A burly soldier said.
As more and more people joined, the rest of the people thought that the newly built crossbow unit was not easy, and they all signed up.
Soon, the number of people who stood in front and wanted to join the crossbow unit reached half, nearly half. Mo Fan really didn't expect that the flow effect was so terrifying, as long as one person took the initiative to stand up, the rest of the people would follow.
"Okay, as I said earlier, the repeater army only needs 3,000 people, so naturally those who have talent in repeaters can stay."
"Each of you has a chance to use the Zhuge Repeater, and those with excellent shooting results stay and join the Repeater Army."
"General Zhao, this matter, I will trouble you more!" Mo Fan turned his head to Zhao Guang and said.
"No problem, leave it to me!" Zhao Guang did not hesitate and immediately responded.
"If you want to join the repeater, follow me! The rest were disbanded. Zhao Guang shouted loudly to everyone in the audience, and then a large number of soldiers followed him to the shooting range.
"Report to the General!" Just as Mo Fan was thinking about how to solve the problem of the huge size of the Zhuge Repeater, Cao Yi stepped forward.
"What's the matter?" Mo Fan raised his head and looked at him.
"The general needs 3,000 people to form a crossbow unit, I don't know if the general plans to equip two people with a Zhuge crossbow or one for one person, if it is one for each person, the inventory in the barracks may not be enough!"
"Huh? Not enough, how many repeaters are there in the barracks now? Mo Fan asked.
"At present, the military camp only has 1,500 repeating crossbows and more than 500,000 arrows!"
"Only so much?" Mo Fan frowned!
Cao Yi nodded.
"If you rush to make it overnight, how much can you make in three days!"
"Due to material limitations, up to 1,000 pieces can be made, and there is no limit to arrows, so you can make them in large quantities!"
"1,000 at most, that's 500 missing!" Mo Fan had a headache, he calculated everything, and saw that the personnel were about to be selected, but he didn't expect that the crossbow was not enough, did he have to reduce 500 people?
"The general doesn't have to worry too much, if the general is really in a hurry to use it, I have a way!"
"Oh? What method? ”
"The guard of the city has been equipped with a large number of Zhuge crossbows for a long time, if the general needs it, he might as well transfer some from here, of course, he must get the prime minister's order."
"This method, you can give it a try!" Mo Fan nodded, it shouldn't be difficult to get Zhuge Liang's order.
"Cao Yi, next, Ben will entrust you to supervise the manufacture of repeating crossbows and arrows, and he will definitely make 1,000 Zhuge repeaters for me within three days." Mo Fan ordered.
"Yes, guaranteed to complete the mission."
"Well, by the way, you are in charge of the army's horses?" Mo Fan suddenly asked again.
"The army's war horses have always been managed by Captain Fenwei Xiang Congzhan and Captain Xiang, and I am only in charge of the military quartermaster of the army." Cao Yi replied.
Captain Fenwei is an official position in the army, and his power is older than that of Qianfu.
"Well, in that case, you can help me get Captain Xiang." Mo Fan commanded.
"Yes, General!" Cao Yi responded.
Mo Fan had already thought of a way to solve the problem of the heavy and difficult to carry the crossbow, Mo Fan remembered that in the historical film he had seen, when Genghis Khan of Mongolia went on an expedition to Europe, because the bow was large and heavy, it was not easy to carry, so he fixed it on horseback, and took it off to shoot when needed, so that the longbow could kill the enemy from afar, and it could be killed by rushing closely, becoming the most powerful army in the world at that time.
Mo Fan also wanted to act like this, since the Zhuge crossbow was too heavy for a single soldier to carry, then why did it have to be carried by a person, wouldn't it be perfect to replace it with a horse.
The horses are fast, the cavalry has the function of charging and killing, and they are very agile, and they are fully capable of maximizing the power of the repeater.
After a while, a young strong man with a height of one meter eight walked quickly towards Mo Fan, looking at what he was wearing, it was more exquisite armor than ordinary soldiers, Mo Fan knew that he was the Fenwei captain in charge of horses.
"Participate in the general! The last general will be in the war! "Salute to Mo Fan from the battle.
"Well, the war horses in the army are you taking care of?" Mo Fan nodded and asked.
"It's the last general who is in charge."
"Well, that's just right, do you know I'm preparing a crossbow unit?"
"The last will know."
"I need everyone to have a good war horse, that is, three thousand war horses! The combat effectiveness of the war horse directly determines the combat effectiveness of this army in the future, do you understand? ”
"The last general understands that the last general will select 3,000 of the best war horses for the general, and he will not disappoint the general." Xiang Congzhan knew that the person in front of him was the commander of the newly appointed army, so he naturally wanted to behave well, so he patted his chest and agreed.
"Well, I'm not done yet, I need to add a bracket to each warhorse, and the repeater must be held securely on it. Can it be done? ”
"Huh? Add a stand? ”
"What, it's difficult?"
"No, there are a lot of experienced old craftsmen in the city, and it's no problem to make the style that the general wants."
"Well, that's good, in three days, I need to see three thousand war horses, and each war horse must have a bracket on it."
"Yes." Xiang Congzhan replied and retreated.
What is the purpose of attaching a bracket to a war horse, isn't it to use a war horse to hoard a repeater? Xiang Congzhan thought wonderingly as he left.
A few hours later, three thousand soldiers were assembled in the square, all of whom were men of excellent eyesight, arm strength, and horsemanship.
Mo Fan stood in front of these three thousand people, looking at these upright men, and his heart was very happy.
"From now on, you will be a member of the crossbow army, you should be glad to get this opportunity, I can tell you clearly, in the future, there will be many people who regret not being able to join you today!"
The three thousand soldiers did not speak, but all looked at him with embarrassed eyes.
"Our crossbow unit, from now on, will be called the Divine Crossbow Battalion, I hope that in the future, when the enemy hears this name on the battlefield, he will flee, do you have confidence?"
"Yes" "Yes" "Yes"
Voices rang out among the soldiers.
"Very good, all down, you will train me hard, use the repeater well, I hope I will see an iron-blooded army in the future!"
"Among you, there must be a person in charge, and whoever it is, just you! What's your name? Mo Fan saw a familiar face in the crowd, this person was the first to respond to Mo Fan, saying that he was originally a tall soldier with a crossbowman.
"General, general, my name is Hongyan!" Seeing that Mo Fan had hit himself and was going to be responsible for managing the team himself, he immediately stammered.
"Well, Hongyan, this name is good, do it well, this important task will be handed over to you."
"Thank you, General, for your appreciation." Hong Yan smiled, the excitement on his face was obvious.
"Okay, you take them away from training, I don't care how they train, anyway, I only look at the effect."
"Yes, promise not to disappoint the general!"
Mo Fan looked at his eager appearance and thought to himself that these three thousand people might have to suffer!
At the sound of the order, everyone was taken away, and from their eyes, there was a kind of firmness and hope for the future. It is the dream of every hot-blooded boy to make meritorious contributions and defend the country, and by joining this special force, the Divine Crossbow Battalion, they have more opportunities.
"General Ma, you are really amazing, just a few words, it is so infectious, even I want to join the Divine Crossbow Battalion and go to the battlefield to make contributions!" Zhao Guang laughed.
"Hehe, whether a team is strong or not depends on whether they have expectations for the future and whether they have faith, only troops with strong beliefs can be invincible."
"General Ma, if it's getting late today, do you plan to stay in the barracks, or return to the city?"
At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun has shone on the vast land.
"General Zhao, I don't know how about I visit your house?" Mo Fan said suddenly.
"Huh? Coming to my house, of course, is extremely welcome! Zhao Guang was also taken aback at the moment, and he didn't know why.
"I have long heard that my father Zhao Yun is a great genius, and he broke into the reputation of Changshan Zhao Zilong at a young age, especially the pistol technique, which is unparalleled in the world. So I want to pay a visit, and by the way, see if I can be lucky enough to learn two tricks. Mo Fan didn't hide it, and directly said his plan.
"Oh, I see, but my father's martial arts are not passed on lightly, and even I have taught a few tricks." Zhao Guang immediately said with relief.
"How do you know if you don't try, now that the big war is coming, you can learn two powerful martial arts, and there are more ways to save your life."
"Yes, I once heard my father mention that when the situation in the Three Kingdoms was not yet determined, there were constant wars everywhere, and whenever the two armies faced each other, they would call each other for battle, and the generals of the two armies would fight fiercely, and if the strength was poor, they would immediately die on the spot." Zhao Guang said with understanding.
"In this way, I will lead General Ma to see my father, and when the time comes, if I can help, I will definitely help!"
"Thank you very much!" Mo Fan thanked.
Two horses were moved out of the barracks, and Mo Fan and Zhao Guang galloped all the way towards the city.
