Before these people really returned to their hearts, Ma Shuo did not plan to provide them with the iron weapons produced by his own copycat. Iron weapons are currently one of Ma Shuo's hole cards, and he doesn't want too many people to know if he doesn't have enough strength.

Even on Li Mu's side, the two sides signed an agreement. Li Mu promised Ma Shuo that he would never reveal the secret that the iron weapon came from him.

There are no iron weapons, however, and there can be no shortage of them. After some thought, Ma Shuo decided to use local materials. Because he found that there were a lot of bamboos growing on the mountains near Xiaolongkou. Bamboo, as long as it is used well, is also a very good weapon.

After having an idea, Ma Shuo did not delay much, and immediately ordered each team of 1,000 people to send people to the mountain to cut bamboo, and specially chose the kind that could be held with both hands, with a length of more than two zhang, and the thickness of the front and back was the same. After the bamboo is cut back, it is not necessary to cut off all the branches, but to keep some of the branches at the top and prune them into spikes.

Soon, bamboo weapons were made two or three feet long. This kind of gun is not like a gun, and the stab is not like a stinging weapon, and it still looks very scary. One is the advantage of length, the enemy simply cannot get close. The second is that those spikes can cause very deadly damage to the enemy's face, which is very difficult to guard against.

There was a lot of bamboo on the mountain, and thousands of bamboo weapons were quickly equipped. Subsequently, Ma Shuo asked the various teams of 1,000 people to start the cooperation practice, that is, the cooperation between archers, sword soldiers, shield soldiers and these long bamboo soldiers. Archers are responsible for attacking from a distance, bamboo soldiers are responsible for defending against enemies that slip through the bows and arrows, shield soldiers are responsible for protecting archers and long bamboo soldiers, and knife soldiers are responsible for dealing with individual fish that slip through the net.

After some practice, a new suggestion was made to add several pikemen to the mix, and the so-called spears could be replaced by shorter bamboos. Because sometimes it is not enough to rely on the sword soldiers to prevent the fish from slipping through the net, especially when encountering the onslaught of a large army, this time it is necessary to have pikemen to attack when the enemy is still some distance away.

This advice was quickly adopted and implemented in the training. Of course, the soldier who made the suggestion was rewarded with ten taels of silver from Ma Shuo. When the news that Ma Shuo took out ten taels of silver to reward this soldier spread, it immediately caused a great reaction among the soldiers.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ma Shuo immediately announced a decision, as long as someone can make a reasonable suggestion, once it is adopted, there will be a reward, and the amount of reward will vary according to the importance of the suggestion. As soon as this decision was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of all the soldiers.

As a result, all the smart-minded guys began to think about it seriously and tried their best to make valuable suggestions. Suddenly, everyone's mental outlook became completely different. One by one, from the original passive training to active training, I hope to find something from the training.

Not to mention, in the next few days, a lot of good suggestions were put forward, which played a big role in improving training and improving the effect. Of course, Ma Shuo did not spare the silver, and still gave the silver to the soldiers as promised.

At the same time, Ma Shuo further announced that the scope of rewards is not limited to training. Other aspects, if there are good ideas, can also be brought forward. Ma Shuo's purpose is obvious, that is, to fully mobilize everyone's creative passion. Although he has the advantage of unlocking the memory, he can't guarantee that he knows everything, so he must use the power of the collective.

When everyone was stationed in Xiaolongkou for serious training, Ma Shuo separated some veterans from the Panlong Guard and released them as scouts, they couldn't sit back and wait for the arrival of the barbarians, they had to turn passive into active.

Of course, in addition to the scouts, Ma Shuo also fully mobilized the hidden guards. At this time, the more information you have, the more confident you will be able to deal with it.

Not to mention, Ma Shuo's approach really had an effect very quickly.

On the fifth day after Ma Shuo arrived at Xiaolongkou, a message came from the hidden guards that a team of barbarians with only a dozen people was rapidly approaching in the direction of Xiaolongkou. There were really not many people, only a dozen or so, but each of them rode fast horses and was very fast. Not only that, but the hidden guards who discovered these people also felt the aura of a strong man from these barbarians.

A special team of more than a dozen barbarian powerhouses suddenly approached. This really surprised Ma Shuo, what did the other party want to do.

The speed of the barbarian powerhouse squad is indeed very fast, and less than half a day after Ma Shuo received the news, Ma Shuo saw these guys with his own eyes.

"Damn, how can there be soldiers and horses of the Qin people here!" When Ma Shuo saw the other party, the other party also discovered the existence of Ma Shuo and the others, and one of the barbarians scolded angrily. Obviously, these barbarian powerhouses didn't know that the soldiers and horses of Great Qin had been stationed in Xiaolongkou.

"Look at the posture, there are a lot of people! What shall we do? Another barbarian said.

"It's just a bunch of local chickens and dogs, you don't have to deal with them, just kill them! It just so hasn't seen the blood of the Qin people for a long time! A black-faced barbarian grinned and said with a fierce look. Obviously, this guy has killed Qin people a lot before.

Obviously, these barbarian powerhouses did not take these Qin soldiers and horses in front of them to heart, and after discovering Ma Shuo and the others, they did not stay long, and rushed over directly after hitting the horses.

It is indeed a group of strong people.

After getting closer, Ma Shuo immediately judged the strength of these people. Among the fifteen people, five were of the high-level samurai level, and the rest were of the intermediate samurai level. Such a team is really not something that ordinary sergeants can compete with. At least, it would be impossible to keep these guys without three or four thousand people surrounding them.

"Shoot the arrows!"

At this time, those veteran soldiers who followed Ma Shuo were Panlongwei, and after seeing the barbarian powerhouse approaching, without waiting for Ma Shuo's order, he had already picked up his bow and arrow and launched an attack without hesitation.

It's just that these veterans still underestimated the strength of these barbarians, and although the arrows they shot were very accurate, they were easily pushed away by the other party with the weapons in their hands. A wave of arrows rained down, just harassing the other party, and not even a single barbarian powerhouse was killed.

Such a result can't help but make everyone feel a little discouraged.

"Hahaha, look, these Qin people and earth dogs are not full of food!" Such a result naturally caused those barbarians to laugh, in their opinion, these Qin people in front of them who blocked their way were just military feats sent to the door one by one.

However, at this time, Ma Shuo suddenly stretched out his hand towards the Panlong Wei beside him.

"Bring that strong bow!"
