Chapter 13: The Marksman
The bandits of the Great Yan Kingdom are somewhat different from the bandits in Zhao Hengyi's cognition.
In the territory of Dayan Kingdom, bandits, or bandits, are a very peculiar group.
There are not only bandits who kill people without blinking, but also poor people who can't pay taxes and their whole families fall into the grass together, and there are even veterans from the army.
And these guys grow like dog's tail grass, and almost all the surrounding counties are entrenched in several bands of thieves of different sizes.
The government of Dayan Kingdom has a very ambiguous attitude towards bandits and bandits, take Dangyang County as an example, there are five groups of bandits entrenched around, everyone in Dangyang County knows that these bandits robbed the past merchants, and even dared to collect grain and grass from various villages and villages, but on the contrary, the county lord with a group of officials was able to get along with these bandits.
Every three or five years, the county commander of Dangyang County will also come forward to ask the nearby garrison to enter the mountains to suppress the bandits, but every time the thunder and rain are a little small, catch some yellow-skinned thieves from the mountains and kill their heads, the county order and the army together to make some credit, but the strength and arrogance of the bandits have not lost a trace.
Zhao Hengyi, who has been a man in two lifetimes, can naturally see it, it is worthy of my Great Yan Kingdom, it is really rotten from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside!
As an Orion, Wu Laoliu is no stranger to bandits, and can even tell in detail the origin of the five bandits around Dangyang County.
Liu Shuang actually hooked up with the bandits, which was beyond Wu Laoliu's expectations.
After all, in Wu Laoliu's impression, Liu Shuang is just lazy and friendly and gambling money, and he is just a prankster who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, no matter how you look at it, it is not compatible with the rumored thief who kills people without blinking.
With Liu Shuang's temperament, when he sees a real bandit, I'm afraid he will be scared to cry and cry for his mother, how far away to hide!
Moreover, Liu Shuang's father died at the hands of the bandits.
About a decade ago, bandits from nearby Cliff Mountain came to Elm Bay to beg for food and clashed with the villagers.
For the bandits with knives in their hands, ordinary people have always been obedient, but that year just suffered a locust plague, and every household did not even have enough food to pay taxes.
There was no way to live, and the villagers of Elm Bay, led by the veterans who had been discharged, fought with the bandits of Cliff Mountain.
Elm Bay is a village composed of fleeing people, with no foundation, and many people who cannot afford to pay taxes are sent to serve in the border army.
But it is precisely because the village is poor that there are many people who can't afford to pay taxes, so that there are many veterans who have retired from the army in Elm Bay.
Many people died in that battle, but it also made the bandits never come to Elm Bay to beg for food again.
At that time, the leader was Liu Shuang's father, and it can be said that Liu Shuang, a prankster and a thief, is the real enemy of killing his father, and he is not in the same air!
It is precisely because of this that the village chief and a group of elders turned a blind eye to Liu Shuang's misdeeds, after all, if there was no Liu Shuang and his father, the villagers of Yushuwan would have to deal with the bandits' begging for food after paying taxes every year.
Now Liu Shuang is actually mixed with the thieves who killed his father, and in turn harmed his own villagers, making Wu Lao Liu constantly sigh that this kid is really bad to the bone!
"The owner, if you want to deal with the bandits, we can't rely on our hunting team alone, we have to find Wang Dahu!"
Under Zhang Daniu's hurry, the hunting team is now equipped with eight hand crossbows, but Wu Lao Liu clearly knows that even if there is a sharp weapon like a hand crossbow, the hunting team that has never seen blood can deal with wild animals, and it is still far from dealing with mountain bandits.
Zhao Hengyi has some impressions of Wang Dahu, a middle-aged man with a low sense of presence in the village.
Wang Dahu is the elder brother of Wang Erhu of the hunting team, because he couldn't pay taxes, he was sent to the border army for five years, and he lost his left arm before he was able to return to his hometown.
The reason why Wu Lao Liu admires Wang Dahu so much is because he knows the camp where Wang Dahu served at the beginning!
The Xuanzi battalion, a rare battalion with strong combat effectiveness in the border army, has not fallen behind against the grassland barbarians several times, and Wang Dahu's left arm was lost on the battlefield of fighting with the barbarians!
This is the ruthless person who has really seen blood, dares and has the ability to pass the bandits!
Wang Dahu has a wife, a concubine, three children, and a father at home who is supported by him.
When Zhao Hengyi and Wu Laoliu found Wang's house, they happened to see Wang Dahu test firing the hand crossbow that his younger brother brought home.
The hand crossbow is more powerful in Wang Dahu's hands, not only can he hit every shot, but even Wang Dahu can accurately shoot the target in the process of running and jumping!
Originally, Zhao Hengyi thought that Wang Erhu's out-of-the-box young design talent was amazing enough, but after seeing Wang Dahu, he understood that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky!
"Let the owner laugh, I used to use bows and arrows in the army, and after losing an arm, I became a waste, so I was discharged from the army and returned home."
Wang Dahu's wives and concubines are all working in the textile workshop, and now there are not many looms, and most of the people who can be ranked are the families of the hunting team, "This crossbow arrow made by the owner is really useful, even the cripple of my arm can be used with one hand!" ”
It turned out to be an archer in the army, no wonder the shooting accuracy is so high!
"Brother Big Tiger is also polite, just call me Hengyi in the future."
Zhao Hengyi's eyes were shining and he looked Wang Dahu up and down, "Brother Dahu is in the army, and he has also seen other crossbow arrows?" ”
"Yes, but the crossbow arrows in the army are very heavy, very troublesome to control, and the number is ridiculously small, but the power is greater than that of the hand crossbow built by the owner."
Wang Dahu recalled a little, and gave an accurate answer, "If it is easy to use, it is more practical to use this kind of crossbow arrow built by the owner." ”
The hand crossbow built by Zhao Hengyi adopts a design that has been optimized countless times in later generations, fully considering the practicality and efficiency, and is naturally not comparable to the goods produced by the generals of the Great Yan Kingdom.
However, it is rumored that there are those nobles who use extremely delicate hidden arrows, but they are expensive, and they can only be shot once in battle, which is extremely troublesome to wind.
Seeing Zhao Hengyi and Wu Laoliu coming together, Wang Dahu guessed that there was something serious and asked his wife and concubine to enter the house with their children, leaving only his brother Wang Erhu to observe.
"Bandits?"
Just after listening to Henry Zhao's story, Wang Dahu's eyes became extremely sharp, how can he still be loyal on weekdays? "The owner, this time there is no blood, I'm afraid that things are not good and broken!"
Listening to Wang Dahu's murderous words, Rao is old hunter Wu Lao Liu's hands couldn't help but tremble three times!
However, Wang Erhu, who was silent on the side, had bright eyes and looked eager to try...... Kill the embryo!
This kid really met a bandit, what kind of performance can he have?
