Li Guang felt that Liu Zhang was saying that he himself could fight hundreds of enemies, and he was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

Li Guang was also besieged by dozens of people during the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion.

Li Guang was also unstoppable, and was besieged by more than 100 Huns that year.

Li Guang fought until he exhausted his strength before he was captured alive by the Xiongnu.

"I've heard that you have a lot of strength, and you think you can fight hundreds. It's good for young people to have courage, but not too impulsively. ”

Li Guang felt that Liu Zhang was young and impulsive, and he loved to talk big.

It's nothing if you have a lot of strength, anyway, what Li Guang said makes people don't like to hear it.

Li Guang is unbalanced in his heart, he has struggled all his life, but he can't compare to his younger brother Li Cai.

Last year, he made meritorious contributions to the battle against the Xiongnu and was named the Marquis of Le'an.

Li Cai was appointed by Liu Che as the Imperial Doctor, and his identity, status, and fame surpassed Li Guang.

He has been in the army for decades, and Wei Qing and Huo Qu were made marquis at a young age.

Why? In terms of the ability to fight, Li Guang thought that he was no worse than them.

Li Guang and several other generals attended military meetings, and Liu Che praised Wei Qing and Huo Qubing many times.

"I'm old, and I don't know how many years I have before I have the strength to draw my bow and arrows. You young people have a lot of time to make a career and have the opportunity to be crowned. ”

Li Guang's words were sour, and he pacified the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms that year.

It was because of receiving the reward of King Liang that he missed an opportunity to become a marquis.

Li Guang really regretted it, this matter has always been a knot in his heart that he can't untie.

"General Li, you still have a chance. In terms of experience in marching operations, we are inferior to you. Liu Zhang comforted Li Guang.

I also understand that Li Guang is uncomfortable, and the title of marquis is the highest honor of a military general.

Not only to get generous treatment, but also the supreme honor.

Liu Zhang also admired Li Guang. He has the ability, but he also has his shortcomings.

In later generations, his fame had surpassed that of Li Cai, but his cousin made him Hou and served as the head of the Three Princes.

Li Guang's ability and character are destined to have no chance with the marquis in his life.

Li Guang has more than enough to defend and not enough to attack.

Emperor Xiaojing and Liu Che were still very good to Li Guang, but fate played tricks on him.

Of course, Liu Che is also a bit biased towards young generals, giving Wei Qing their most elite soldiers.

Give Wei Qing the best equipment for them, Liu Che also thought that Li Guang was old.

Liu Che didn't want to cause huge losses because of improper employment.

The crowd fell silent. I don't know how to comfort Li Guang.

Last year, his younger brother was made a marquis, and he may have been stimulated.

"I have a bow here that has been with me for years. I heard that you can pull the Xuanlong Bow, can you pull this bow in my hand? ”

Li Guang wanted to see if Liu Zhang had that much strength, although the bow in his hand was not as good as the Xuanlong Bow.

The bow in his hand is his favorite, and he has used it to shoot many enemies.

"General Li wants me to pull this bow and try it, so I'll try it."

Liu Zhang took the bow and arrow in Li Guang's hand, and Liu Zhang tried to pull it away.

This bow is a little weaker than the Xuanlong Bow, and it is also a good bow.

"My bow can shoot up to three hundred paces, and the Xuanlong Bow in His Majesty's hand can shoot up to four hundred and fifty steps."

In the Han Dynasty, one step was one meter five, and the range of the foot bow used by the Han army was as far as 280 steps.

The Hun horse bow had a range of eighty to one hundred and fifty paces, so the bows and arrows used by the infantry had a longer range than those used by the cavalry.

It is more powerful, and the advantage of the infantry's bow is stability.

If the Hun cavalry encountered the Han army's phalanx, the overall psychological quality of the Han army was excellent.

The Hun cavalry did not dare to be tough, and the Huns generally only sneaked up or attacked a small number of infantry or cavalry of the Han army.

Liu Zhang pulled the bow and arrows to the fullest, and the hardness of the bow and arrows was indeed a little worse than the Xuanlong bow.

"General Li's bow is not weak, I don't need to shoot arrows to know it. If you encounter an enemy, the enemy can only obediently give your life to you. ”

Liu Zhang is not exaggerating when he says this, Li Guang already has a lot of strength.

The archery is very accurate, don't look at him now in his sixties.

Li Guang can now pull out the seven-stone bow and give the enemy a heart-to-heart cooler.

In this era, the strength of the bow was nine stones, and those who could pull more than five stones were Hercules.

Most bows and arrows hit the enemy, if not to the point.

Enemies do not die for a short time, and most of those who are hit by arrows die from wound infections.

Of course, if you wear armor that is very protective.

Bows and arrows deal less damage to enemies, but do not heal wound infections.

Death is only a matter of time, there is rust on the arrows.

Liu Zhang looked at the arrow used by Li Guang again, and the arrow was prismatic.

And the lines of the arrows are smooth, which can reduce air resistance.

This arrow is similar in shape to the bullet head of the 22nd century, so don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.

Liu Zhang returned the bow and arrow to Li Guang, the bow was a good bow. You can see how much he loves this bow.

His bow was not fitted with pulleys, which were largely labor-saving.

Bows and arrows with pulleys should be properly designed, after all, they are used for combat.

It is also possible to improve the crossbow, and the repeater appeared in the Warring States period.

The power and range were not very ideal, so Liu Zhang thought of the Song Dynasty's Divine Arm Crossbow.

Liu Zhang had read a lot of books before crossing, and there was also information about the Divine Arm Crossbow.

There is also a Zhuge Repeater with greater power and range, but those materials are not complete.

"General Li, I found that no one in the army uses a repeater. Why is that? Liu Zhang asked.

"The power and firing of a repeater are not high, and they are not as good as a single-shot crossbow."

Li Guang did not use a repeater, and the range of the repeater was far inferior to the Xiongnu's horse bow.

Because the arrows were short and the damage to the enemy was small, the Han army was not equipped with a large number of repeaters.

Li Guang also knew that the crossbow was lethal, and the range of the crossbow was far inferior to that of the bow.

Crossbow arrows can only be fired in batches, and the role of crossbows in the army should not be underestimated.

"I think the crossbow can be improved, and with the wisdom of a craftsman, it is not difficult to improve."

From the Warring States period to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, hundreds of years have passed.

The repeater has not improved much, first, it is too difficult to improve.

Second, wars are frequent, and there is no extra money to spend on improving repeaters.

The disadvantage of slow reloading of repeaters can be compensated for by bows and arrows.

Liu Zhang would take the time to design and experiment with the improvement of the repeater to bring the Han army's combat effectiveness to the next level.

From the invention to the installation of any piece of weaponry, it requires a lot of money to support it.

Liu Che spent most of his financial resources on dealing with the Xiongnu, and a small part on improving his weapons.

It's time for Mystic Nu's design and manufacturing to be on the agenda. Greatly improve the combat capability of the Han army.

In fact, the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty army was not weaker than that of the Tang Dynasty army, and some technologies were indeed a little worse than those of the Tang Dynasty.

In the next few years, Liu Che will use a variety of methods to increase fiscal revenue.

In order to maintain the huge war expenditure, this can be a pain for the people of the Han Dynasty.

For the stability of the Han frontier, in order to no longer be humiliated.

There is nothing wrong with the ability to only take military measures against the powerful forces in the surrounding areas.

In the early days of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu made peace with the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu still plundered the border of the Han Dynasty.

"You want to improve these weapons, and it's good for young people to think that way."

Li Guang also hoped that the weapons and armor of the Han army would become stronger and stronger, and that improving the weapons would require a lot of financial and material resources.

Most of the money was used to support the war. It is used to reward those who have made meritorious contributions.

Liu Che was not stingy in rewarding those who had meritorious service, which also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of those soldiers to fight.

They went into battle to kill the enemy not just for fame and fortune, their greatest wish was to be able to be a marquis.

After Liu Zhang and the others were full of food and drink, they chatted around the fire.

Hearing sounds around him from time to time, Liu Zhang looked at the darkness in the distance.

I couldn't see what was in the darkness in the distance, and I guessed that there was a beast there.

After all, they are now in the wilderness, and there is no shop in front of the village or behind the village.

Liu Zhang heard that there were still a small number of elephants and rhinoceros in the Central Plains, and they had to face many fierce beasts all the way north.

"There are many wild beasts around us, and they are afraid of fire. We have a lot of people, so we need to arrange people to be on guard at night. ”

With his rich experience, Li Guang can tell that there are wolves and tigers around.

In this cold winter season, the bear must be hiding in the cave and sleeping.

"The beasts in the darkness are watching us, and if we let our guard down, we will be their prey."

Li Guang said this to see if they were afraid, and Liu Zhang was not afraid at all.

If a wild beast does come at you, shoot them with a bow and arrow.

If they get too close, they slash the beasts with the ring knife in their hands.

Li Guang asked a part of the Han army to return to the tent to rest, and everyone took turns to be on duty.

Maybe there are bandits in the vicinity, but of course they don't dare to attack the Han army.

The difference in strength between the two sides is very large, and those beasts are not easy to say.

Liu Zhang returned to the tent to rest first, and someone would call him later.

He clutched the ringhead knife tightly in his hand and lay quietly in the tent.

At the same time, everyone heard the sound of wolf howls in the distant woods.

Everyone was on their guard, they didn't want to be dinner for the beasts.
