I’m The King Chapter 154: : A different Zhang Shubao
Everyone present, except for Cao Tiancheng, has been on the battlefield for a long time. During the past six months, they have accumulated a lot of experience in the battle with the Donghu cavalry. They are some small tribes, but they rarely confront the opponent's cavalry head-on. With their current manpower, it is not that they cannot withstand the charge of these small numbers of about two hundred cavalry, but there is no doubt that the result of carrying them is that they There will be a lot of losses, and this is what Gao Yuan doesn't want to see, but now with this kind of crossbow with a range of hundreds of steps, it can become a reality to face the cavalry attack head-on. As long as there are enough intensive crossbow shots, it is enough to destroy the opponent's charge formation and slow down the opponent's impact speed. Cavalry who have lost their speed and impact are nothing.
So the infantry turned pale, and Sun Xiao and the others turned red!
"The more the better!" He took the crossbow from some dazed infantryman and handed it to Cao Tiancheng, "Let's build it like this first, and find a way to reduce the range without reducing the power. The weight of this thing is a bit heavy!" Gao Yuandao
"Understood" Cao Tiancheng Dao
"In addition, reward the craftsmen who made this thing and tell them to let them go. If you can reduce the weight, I will reward you again." Gao Yuan smiled
"The reward is deserved, one hundred guan, isn't it a bit much?" Cao Tiancheng is a little bit pained, and now his money is tense. "Besides, the blueprint for this arm-stretching crossbow was drawn by you, the county captain."
"Not many, anyone who can make something like this, I will reward!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, he would buy a horse bone with thousands of dollars, and there is no shortage of this money." Those few pictures of mine are just a general appearance. I don’t even know if it’s useful or not, the real thing I made has been modified too much, it’s no longer mine.”
Turn around. Pat the shoulder of the infantryman who was still staring blankly at the shattered target two hundred paces away, "Infantryman, it seems that you have to use your brain a lot." After saying this, he laughed loudly. Turn your hands behind your back and walk away
Sun Xiao, Yan Haibo and others lined up and walked past the infantry with a smile on their faces. Everyone patted the infantry on the shoulder with great sympathy. It made the infantry stare round and stare angrily
"Sun Xiao!" Gao Yuan greeted while striding back, and Sun Xiao hurriedly followed
"What is the order of the county lieutenant?"
"Recruit a group of crossbow soldiers!" Gao Yuan said: "The arm strength must be outstanding, and the simple military training is important for them to practice how to master the use of this kind of crossbow."
"I'm going to be the county lieutenant right away. After these crossbowmen are trained, should they be assigned to my team first?" Sun Xiao was full of expectation, "If this kind of crossbowmen are gathered together, the more they will be, the better they will be." It's powerful, and it's not easy to spread it!"
Gao Yuan laughed loudly, "You have a bad eye, you know that the more these things are, the more powerful they are. But whoever told you to recruit soldiers will definitely be assigned to your team, you should practice first, these things I have arrangements for things"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Sun Xiao was poured cold water on his head, and after being greatly disappointed, he welcomed the faces of Zheng Xiaoyang, Naha, and Yan Haibo, who smiled on the surface. This is a good thing, who doesn't look eagerly at it!
September passed in a hurry during the training process of the Fufeng soldiers in Juliguan, especially the infantry, after seeing the power of the crossbow, they were even more exhausted, and He Lanyan saw the crossbow. Afterwards, he was also silent, as he grew up in a Hun tribe mainly dominated by cavalry. He Lanyan knew too well how such a long-range and easy-to-carry weapon would hurt the cavalry. The two of them thought about it, but there was no way to solve this problem. The only thing they could think of. It is to equip the cavalry with better armor. The only thing that can be done is to allow the cavalry to have better riding skills and can dodge this kind of shooting when charging. It is unrealistic to equip the cavalry with heavy armor. The cavalry is mainly flexible and fast. With heavy armor, the original advantages will be lost, and the cost of a pair of heavy armor is too high. This is simply an impossible task
October 18th, Gao Yuan brought Cao Tianci back to Fufeng City again. The Liaoxi County Zuo Army led by Zhang Shubao had arrived in Fufeng and settled in the Nancheng Barracks where Gao Yuan was stationed before. After arriving at Zhang Shubao's general's yamen, the first night he arrived in Fufeng, just settled down, Zhang Shubao sent his own soldiers to Juliguan to summon Gao Yuan back to Fufeng to meet him
Zhang Shubao not only appreciates Gao Yuan, but also admires Gao Yuan. As a guy who was thrown into the barracks by his father since he was a child, he rarely has the dandy atmosphere of a child of the rich and powerful. In the barracks, even if he is the young master, But those generals who were instructed by Zhang Shouyue were not polite to Zhang Shubao, they should be beaten and scolded, and forcibly polished a delicate son who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth into a rough general
Zhang Shouyue has his own deep meaning, and those generals who follow Zhang Shouyue naturally understand Zhang Shouyue's deep meaning that cannot be expressed
"Gao Yuan, we meet again!" At the gate of the county captain's mansion, Zhang Shubao with a big beard laughed and opened his arms to meet Gao Yuan, "But I miss me so much, this time, we will fight side by side! "
He gave Gao Yuan a bear hug
Gao Yuan was a little surprised by Zhang Shubao's enthusiasm, but he is also a bold person. Facing Zhang Shubao's enthusiasm, he did not hesitate to return the same
"General Zhang, this time I come to Fufeng, Gao Yuan can be regarded as having a backbone. You don't know, I've been beating drums in my heart these days! On the opposite side of us, a powerful Donghu tribe came, Me, I was forced to burn down the advance camp" he said with a smile
Zhang Shubao laughed, "Tirasu, I already knew about it, come on, let's talk inside!" Holding Gao Yuan's hand, the two walked into the gate side by side
"Before coming to Fufeng, the old man repeatedly told me to listen to your opinion more!" Zhang Shubao smiled and said, "The old man values you, he is more assured of you than me."
"General Zhang was joking!" Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "General Zhang grew up in a barracks since he was a child, surrounded by experienced generals, Zhang Taishou is even a famous general in the world, what I hear and see This wild monk who became a monk halfway can compare, this time, I just want to ask General Zhang a lot!"
Zhang Shubao shook his head again and again, "Gao Yuan, you are too outsider. You are unfamiliar, General General, it sounds really awkward. You are nineteen this year. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, call me A brother. I feel more refreshed"
"I don't dare to climb high!"
"Where are you going?" Zhang Shubao turned his head seriously, "I called your uncle, General Lu Honglu, Uncle. Isn't it appropriate for you to call me Brother? If you call me General again, I will I'm going to drive you out!"
Seeing Zhang Shubao's half-smile expression, Gao Yuan's heart moved slightly. "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey orders. Brother Zhang, the safety of Fufeng this time depends on you."
"Brother Gao, don't speak dark words in front of Ming people." Zhang Shubao smiled and said: "You are right. I grew up in a military camp. I read a lot of military books, and I also listened to the actual battle examples from those uncles. Over and over again, but to put it bluntly, it's all on paper, and I can do one thing in theory, but in actual combat, I haven't fought a single battle, unlike you. How much have you fought this year? After the battle, it is not unreasonable for the old man to ask me to come to Fufeng. He is afraid that after I go to Chima, I will make my own decisions and ruin the big event, so he let General Victory go to Chima to stand alone. He sent me to Fufeng, Because he knows that Fufeng has you, if I have any bad ideas, I will definitely not be able to pass your test"
"Brother Zhang is joking!" Gao Yuan said with a smile
During the conversation, the two walked into the study
"Sit whatever you want!" Zhang Shuding pulled a chair, sat down, looked at Gao Yuan, and said with a smile: "The old man was afraid that I would not like it, so he spoke sharply before coming here, but he didn't know that coming to Fufeng to work with you is just right. It's my wish." He laughed loudly, "Gao Yuan, our Zhang family, whether it's the father, the elder brother, or me, all look at you with admiration. This time I went to Fufeng to work with you. The first month, I can make you this friend, don't mention how happy I am!"
Looking at Zhang Shubao who was stroking his beard and laughing, Gao Yuan was also laughing, but there was something else in his smile. The Zhang Shubao in front of him was completely different from the Zhang Shubao he saw in the county town , made him feel strangely unfamiliar, and he couldn't help being a little vigilant when he was surprised.
"Brother Zhang, what is the meaning of Taishou Zhang when you come to Fufeng this time?" Looking at Zhang Shubao, Gao Yuan changed the topic, "Tirasu's two thousand cavalrymen have advanced to a distance of more than a hundred miles from Fufeng. The footsteps of the cavalry are only a day's journey to attack Fufeng, and in Yulin, Thorpe, the third son of Donghu King, is collecting a lot of food and grass there, which is not a good thing!"
"Your information is very accurate!" Zhang Shubao knew: "The meaning of Donghu King is clear, that is, he is coming to fight with us, and see if we can find something cheap!"
"Cheap?" Gao Yuan was a little puzzled
Zhang Shubao smiled, pondered for a moment, and said: "Brother Gao, I treat you as my own brother, so I won't hide it from you. Up to now, even General Victory is not clear about this matter."
Even Huang Desheng doesn't know, it's no small matter Gao Yuan looked at Zhang Shubao, waiting for his next words
"King Donghu has also smelled it!" Zhang Shubao sighed softly, "If he attacks~IndoMTL.com~ in a big way, we are afraid that we will be under a lot of pressure. Can we hold it? Question"
"What did Miranda smell?" Hearing that there was something in the other party's words, Gao Yuan asked
"Gao Yuan, my father clearly knows that Miranda is not bluffing this time, but is actively preparing for war. Why did he only send me and the victorious general, and the main force of the county army did not reach the front line?" Zhang Shubao stared at Gao Yuan , asked
Gao Yuan shook his head, "I thought the prefect judged that the other party would not make a big attack this year and sent you and the victorious general, just in case"
"Wrong!" Zhang Shubao shook his head, "It's not that my father made a wrong judgment, but he has other important things to do."
"Is there something else important?" Gao Yuan was startled, what could be bigger than the Donghu people knocking at them
Zhang Shubao nodded, "Gao Yuan, there will be a big change in Dayan, our Zhang family must participate in it, and Donghu king Miranda obviously got the news, and is going to take this opportunity to bite us hard and fight with Donghu." That matter is more important than the National People's Congress coming to invaders."
Listening to Zhang Shubao's words, Gao Yuan's face gradually became serious
