Chapter 17 Preparations for War

Fourth Brother Wang said: "There is also a problem of establishment, we are now in the front battalion, the guard, and the rear battalion, and we cannot go to the battlefield at all, and we must reorganize it." ”

Li He listened and said secretly: "Why didn't I think of it." ”

But because Li He is Zhang Jue's personal guard, in addition to protecting Zhang Jue, he is also responsible for intelligence matters, similar to Zhang Jue's intelligence staff. The information from all over the surrounding area was sorted out and reported to Zhang Jue by him. He is relatively far from the front line. You can look at the problem from a higher perspective, but you don't know much about some basic issues.

But Fourth Brother Wang is different, he is a grassroots officer, and he also commanded a commander when he was at the highest. The Song army was under one command, and the full strength was 500 people, but now most of them are only 300 people. That's how many we have today.

He is most familiar with such a battle formation.

It's to see the problem at a glance.

Yu Xing said: "All the food, all open supply. Unlimited. Can it support ten days? ”

"Yes." Zhang Yunqing said: "But half a month at most." ”

Yu Xing said: "That's fine." He turned to the fourth brother Wang again, and said, "Fourth brother, these people are all trained by you, and within ten days, let them go into battle, whether they can go into battle or not." ”

Fourth Brother Wang pondered for a moment and said, "Chen He is my deputy, maybe he can do it." ”

With so much training and such a short period of time, the most important thing is to act as the backbone of the old pawn, and it is not difficult to have the old pawn watching and fighting in formation. Many so-called strong armies have been repeatedly defeated because of the existence of core veterans.

And Chen He's old pawns are the most valuable wealth.

Yu Xing looked at Chen He.

Chen He hesitated slightly.

If there was no such thing as growing mushrooms, Chen He would never be willing to do so. Without him, he defected to Yu Xing, but it was just the situation, where was there half a point of loyalty at all, and how long he had been under Yu Xing, it was too extravagant to talk about loyalty.

But the miracle of Yu Xingxing and planting mushrooms made his subordinates feel that Yu Gongzi was very human.

It can only be said that in this era when most of the people at the bottom are illiterate, pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, or Shintoism. It is also convenient for the method.

He had to consider whether his subordinates wanted to replace him in the event of disobeying orders, and even using his head as a gift of advancement.

In a moment, Chen He made a decision and said, "Subordinates obey orders." ”

If it is said willingly, it is false. But now that he has decided to mess around under Yu Xing. Then be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, as for the rest. Wait until the end of the matter, anyway, Yu Xing is defeated, and he will never be buried with him.

Yu Xing said: "I'll take care of the rest." ”

Yu Xing's movements were very fast, he first asked all the grain to be made into dry food, and then smashed the pot, melting all the iron tools in the stockade into spear heads, and cutting down trees into spear shafts. Created more than 300 spears. The head of the gun is three-edged, and it doesn't even need to be polished, and it pierces a bloody hole.

This is still within the imagination of these people.

It can only be said that under the auspices of Yu Xing, the speed of melting cast iron is particularly fast. But there is another thing that makes everyone unbelievable.

Fourth Brother Wang took the long stick and a hemp rope in his hand and said, "This is a bow?" ”

"Yes." Yu Xing pointed to the wooden stick on the side, which was almost human-high, and said, "There are a total of six hundred here." ”

Fourth Brother Wang looked at these wooden sticks, except for the places reserved for strings at the two ends, there was no difference from ordinary wooden sticks, the only difference was probably that they were peeled. The native cyan of these woods has not faded.

This batch of bows was made by Yu Xing to imitate the idea of the English longbow. The Chinese bow follows the route of a compound bow, which is cumbersome to manufacture and quite powerful. But the English longbow is a different way of thinking, that is, big is good. I can't do a delicate job. Then make it big.

Of course, there is a doorway in this, and it is not simply amplification. It is necessary to make special wood.

There is nothing in Zhuge Village.

As a genius-level scientist, how could Yu Xing be stumped by such a trivial matter?

The English longbow needed a special kind of wood because of the need for the elasticity of the wood.

Yu Xing soon discovered a phenomenon, that is, after the wood was cut, the elastic properties of the wood changed as the water was removed.

According to the only few samples, Yu Xing calculated the change curve, and finally selected fir wood. According to the elastic change curve, it was concluded that after cutting, in the case of natural drying, within one month, the elasticity is the most suitable. After this period of time, it will not be used.

Of course, if there is a difference in the moisture content of the air, it will also affect the performance of the bow and arrow.

Even, no matter how good he is, Yu Xing understands. In fact, this can't do the attributes of the most common Song bow and Yuan bow. However, in the optimal performance zone, that is, in a fixed range, the performance is not bad.

That is to say, this bow and arrow should not be on target, it can only cover the shot at a fixed angle and in a fixed direction, as for the rest. Don't think about it, Yu Xing can do this, and he has already killed a lot of brain cells. What more do you want?

When Yu Xing was doing this thing, he was always able to empathize with the designer of the MiG-25, that is, the one who made the aircraft shell of stainless steel to fight against the most advanced American fighters: "What kind of bad things are they doing." ”

An engine is hard, vigorously flying bricks, and a disposable bow and arrow, which is large and full.

It's just that everyone doesn't believe it, after all, they are all people in the army, and they have seen traditional Chinese compound bows since they were children, and they already have a stereotype of bows and arrows.

Facts speak louder than words. Yu Xing didn't say a word, wound it, bent the long stick out of a curve, and shot an arrow with a bow. The long arrow made a graceful arc and pierced the ground.

Yu Xing asked: "This bow is not good in terms of accuracy, there is no way to do this." Still have questions? ”

Naturally grown wood that has not been processed, the center of gravity is skewed. The traditional Chinese composite bow is made of wood, the bones are cut into slices, and then glued together with fish glue and so on. It is to avoid differences in texture and deviations in the strength of the bow.

It's just that the quasi-head is a little off. But it is also the limit of what Yu Xing can do. It's not that there are no ways to increase the accuracy, but there are many, but none of them can be completed by manpower, material resources, or even time.

Li He wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and did not say it, he felt that the bow was too heavy, there were too many people in the village, and they could not eat enough for a long time, so I am afraid that they would not be able to use it a few times, and the bow and arrow were used, paying special attention to strength. If you don't have enough power, you can't use it well.

It's just that he thinks that Yu Xing can do so much in a hurry. It's already good. How could he bear to be harsh.

Originally, Li He didn't believe that Yu Xing was teaching the Fa to immortals, but at this moment he believed it. He really believed it. Absolute immortals are nothing more than that.

You must know that Sichuan was the hardest fought on the entire anti-Yuan battlefield, especially in the years after the fall of Xiangyang, Sichuan lost contact with the southeast, and could not get the support of a grain of rice and an arrow from the imperial court. It all relied on the food and weapons that Zhang Jue had managed little by little in the mountain city. You can also fight back and forth with the Tartars. Persisted in playing for several years.

Li He was by Zhang Jue's side, and he understood too well how hard Zhang Jue was.

Every long knife, every spear, every bow and crossbow is not easy. If you knew about Yu Xing's method at that time, don't say anything else. You can add more bows and arrows, and you can definitely kill more people in the Tartars.

Fourth Brother Wang said: "Childe, it's good enough. With so many strong bows in the army, it is completely possible to organize the infantry into a command, and then organize the cavalry into a squad to stand by. There was no problem at all in this battle. As for the quasi-head, on the battlefield, arrows are like flying locusts, how can there be kung fu aiming, just make the difference. ”

"Ahem." A cough could be heard in the distance.

Yu Xing looked at it, but it was the relics in the corner of the school field.

Yu Xing said: "Master, it's just in time, some bows and arrows have been hastily made, master take a look, and give advice by the way." ”

The relics took a bow, he came here to have something, but just now when he saw this bow and arrow, his heart was itching, and he said: "Amitabha, but the poor monk is disrespectful. ”

The relics removed their robes, revealing their left shoulder, bulging muscles, and some scars. It's all sword wounds, Li He's eyes narrowed slightly, he is an expert who can see at a glance that he is a martial artist, and he is a lieutenant general in Zhang Jue's army, at least in the middle school.

Sure enough, after shooting a few arrows, he already roughly understood the performance of the bow and arrow.

Yu Xing said, "Does the master think there is something wrong?" ”

Relic Wei said: "The poor monk has heard that the wise people of the Central Plains can turn decay into magic, and this wooden bow is not used by people who are despicable, and the poor monk heard that no one uses this kind of wooden bow except for the barbarian savages." If it wasn't for the poor monk's own eyes, it was said to the poor monk by others. The poor monk never believed it. Today, we know that Yu Gong's family learning is difficult to beat in the world. The poor monk admired. ”

He touched the rough wooden bow and remembered his men who had died on the battlefield, although he also knew that the gap between them and the Mongols could not be changed by a single bow and arrow. But he couldn't help but wonder, what would have happened if there had been this thing at that time? I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, but I could only say: "Admire." ”

Yu Xing naturally wouldn't remind him that this was not Yu Yunwen's family study, but Bacon's family study. However, Sariwei was not his subordinate, and what he said was a little more credible than others, which also made Yu Xing feel a little relieved. said: "It's over." ”

Sariwei said: "Young Master Yu, the poor monk has just come over, and there is news to tell Gongzi. ”

When Yu woke up, he silently calculated the time in his heart, and already had a premonition, and said, "Master, please speak." ”

Saritius said, "Azita has come. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Yu Xing took care of himself and bent his bow and arrow, shot an arrow, penetrated the bull's-eye, and said, "Very good." ”
