And using a box car to resist the Xian Xiao cavalry is Xiao Chen's jump.

There are many ways to deal with cavalry, such as the famous infantry phalanx, which consists of a large number of infantry forming a large and dense square formation.

The periphery is the shield soldier, and behind the shield soldier is the pikeman, and countless spears poke out from the gap in the shield, which looks like a giant hedgehog from a distance, so it is also called the hedgehog array.

The vanguard of the cavalry will be poked to death by spears when they rush over, which greatly destroys the impact of the cavalry, weakens their speed advantage, and thus changes the situation of victory and defeat of both sides.

But if you want to deal with tens of thousands of cavalry, you must have at least more than 20,000 infantry, and Xiao Chen doesn't have so many people.

Besides, this kind of tactic takes a long time to train, and Xiao Chen doesn't have that much time.

There is also a way to restrain cavalry, that is, to use longbows and crossbows, which are long-range attack weapons, especially the powerful and long-range crossbow machine, which is also known as the divine arm bow, which is simply the nemesis of cavalry!

At that time, Wu Jie, the general of the Song Dynasty, used the divine arm bow to the extreme, which made the invincible Jin cavalry suffer a lot.

However, the manufacturing process of the Divine Arm Bow is extremely complicated, requiring a lot of manual and material resources, and the requirements for the shooter are very high, and only the first-class shooter can operate the Divine Arm Bow.

As a result, the Divine Arm Bow could not be used in large quantities, and could only be used in small quantities.

And this ironclad crossbow designed by Xiao Chen, although it is a little difficult to manufacture, is very simple to use, because it is all operated through mechanisms, theoretically even an ordinary person can use it after a short period of familiarity.

And this ironclad ballista also has a very powerful defensive role, that is, to form a car formation. Fighting on the plains, there is no natural danger to rely on, and it is not easy to set up camp during the march.

But if there are enough ballistas, they can be concentrated on the periphery as a fence or even a city wall for defense, which is effortless and effortless, and can also play a very good defensive effect.

When Qi Jiguang was fighting in the north, he used this kind of box car defense formation, and it was effective in his own test. Qi Jiguang is the god of war, and it is impossible for him to come up with a method that will not work......

Xiao Chen must have no problem learning from it.

But now he still has a big problem to solve, and that is military pay.

Fighting a war is one of the most expensive things, and it is said that his troops have already spent more than 100,000 silver before they are deployed!

Li Shi gave 500,000 yuan, but it was not enough at all.

Xiao Chen is still planning to recruit soldiers, and the more the better, but if he doesn't have money, he can't even recruit a fart.

Besides, who knows how long this battle will last?

Every day, people eat and feed their horses an astronomical amount, plus the bounty for killing the enemy, the pension of the dead, the purchase of various military supplies, and the employment of thousands of people......

Damn! No amount of silver is enough.

His own silver is all combined, but it is also a small two million......

But Master, I'm going out to fight for you now for Da Zhou, why do I still use my own money?

Li Wanjiang didn't give a penny to the bastard, Chen Wenqi also cried with him that he was poor, and now if he wants silver, he can only go to the door to ask those who owe debts to collect debts.

It's not easy.

But Xiao Chen is a madman now, don't forget, in just a few days, he has offended the three heavenly officials of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry.

Anyway, he is not used to these three, who else can he get used to?

However, there are ways and means to get accounts, and it is not possible to blindly do it.

For example, Pingyang Hou Zhu Xiaochuan owes more than one million taels! Wu Zicheng, Wu Zhongze, Wang Anbang, Chen Wenqi, and Lu Jing all owe hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and Lu Jing, the former head of the household department, still owes more than 500,000 taels.

Lu Jing and Wang Anbang are all the people of the crown prince Li Xian, and his people owe so much silver, why do you say he wants this account?

All of them have thousands of wealth, thousands of acres of fertile land, countless manors, and groups of wives and concubines, so dare to cry poor and say that they have no money?

It doesn't matter if others believe it or not, Xiao Chen doesn't believe it anyway.

Unbelief is unbelief, but evidence is also needed.

Now he doesn't have time to check the details of these guys, but he can go to Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division to find an acquaintance to ask......

When Chen Ming saw Xiao Chen coming in person, he knew that something must be wrong with him, and it would never be a trivial matter.

hurriedly retreated from everyone and invited him to the secret room of the study, "Lord Xiao, our brothers are lifelong friends, and your situation is known to my brothers, so you can say it, as long as my brother and I can help, I will definitely do it for you!" ”

That naturally means that if my brother and I can't help, you don't have to complain.

"How about coming with me to fight Yanyun County?" As soon as Xiao Chen opened his mouth, he almost scared Chen Ming into peeing.

"Lord Xiao, you're letting me die!" Chen Ming's face turned white.

It seems that the two are not a lifelong friendship......

"Isn't it for you to make meritorious contributions?" Xiao Chen smiled, "I have already sent someone to summon Lin Yue and Yue Zhonglin, these two brothers are willing to follow me to make meritorious contributions, I wonder how can this kind of good thing be left behind your brother?" That's why I'm here to ask you to join us. ”

"Lord Xiao, let's stop joking, okay? I have an eighty-year-old mother and a baby underneath, so I really can't follow you. Chen Ming said with a bitter face.

"Look at the virtue you are scared of, you are not so unplanted, when we killed the enemy side by side, you didn't shrink back so much!" Xiao Chen's words were obviously scolding Chen Ming, but in fact, he was praising him.

"Lord Xiao, brother, I ......" Chen Ming felt very pleasant to listen to.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, in fact, I came to you today because there is another thing to bother you......" Xiao Chen said the real purpose of this.

is to ask Chen Ming what is the situation of the princes and ministers who owe the treasury and silver taels, and their real family background?

Is there such a poor and white thing they claim to be?

Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si is a special secret agency, they definitely have this kind of information in their hands, and it is very, very detailed.

"Lord Xiao, aren't you embarrassing my brother again? Leaking the intelligence of the Suppression Division, and the information of these important people, is a capital offense! Chen Ming began to grin again.

"Forget if it's embarrassing, I'll find someone else." Xiao Chen got up and said goodbye.

"Okay, my Lord Xiao, why don't you let me pretend to be embarrassed? So that you Lord Xiao can lead me to a favor. Chen Ming hurriedly hugged him and pressed him back to his seat.

"I'm not in love at all! Who made us brothers? Xiao Chen said.

"But this matter is really important, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to give it even if I wanted to." Chen Ming said, and opened a secret passage mechanism on the wall in front of Xiao Chen.

lit an oil lamp, crawled in with his waist bent, and took out a thick booklet after a long time of asking for it, and solemnly handed it to Xiao Chen.
