"The letter has arrived!"

"The letter has arrived!"

In mid-March, as several major wagons arrived at the barracks, the soldiers who had been training here for half a month immediately boiled.

Family letters, this is the old rule in the Qin army, although Qin has been criticized for being rigid and impersonal, but in this regard it is very humane, every time the post is passed back and forth, the soldier can send a letter to the family, and the family will reply, and even bring some money and clothes, after all, in addition to a set of standard armor, weapons and collective food, the rest must be brought.

And I heard that this may be the last chance to contact the family before the army marches......

A large basket of letters from the camp had been carried recently, and the non-commissioned officers had lined up under the organization of their respective officers, waiting eagerly for the soldiers to shout their names.

"Ganting in Xuwu County (Zhouzhi, Shaanxi), not more shrike!"

"No!"

After waiting for a long time, when it was finally his turn, Berao, who was already the commander of the tun, immediately came out of the ranks, walked in front of the army and took the letter from home—this was inferior paper sealed in cloth, which was much lighter than the wooden slip that Heifu used to write letters home.

After receiving the letter, Shrike did not open it, but put the paper to his nose and sniffed it, or hoped to smell his wife's breath, which was his favorite smell, but unfortunately the letter traveled hundreds of miles, and even the smell was gone, leaving only the smell of paper and ink.

Because of the name of the county, they were assigned to the westernmost part of the three counties of Shanglin, a place where there are mountains and rivers for hunting and fishing, and they can also safely farm.

In January, he used the reward money obtained after the Northern Expedition to buy a cow in the county seat, buy a plow, and plough the family's land in one go, while his wife held the clay pot and followed closely behind, scattering the seeds little by little, because Gongsun Li had never done farm work in the past, and seemed clumsy, and had to be taught by the shrike.

"I don't know if she can take care of the family's acres."

Shrike was worried, although the field officials arranged for peasant women to teach these women who had just married out of the palace, but no one could say what the effect was, and it was unknown whether these former palace maids could adapt to peasant life.

Although he wanted to know what his wife had said, it was a pity that the shrike could not read it, and he had to ask the military judge for help.

The military judge has been very busy these days, and there is a long queue outside the hut where he lives, and many soldiers have embarrassedly come to ask him for help, and the new law stipulates that this is the duty of the military judge, and he must not refuse to write letters for the soldiers to read and write letters.

In this way, the military judges from the school can get closer to the soldiers and get to know them, but the same work is repeated too much, and they will get tired.

The military judge had just received the letter from the shrike and was a little surprised.

"Where is this Lizheng, the handwriting is so beautiful?"

"This is my wife's word, and my wife is literate."

It is difficult to hide the pride of the shrike, and now the literate people are very popular, and being able to read and write in the army means better promotion, and there will be opportunities to become officials in the future.

He has no chance, Gongsun Li taught him to read, it is more difficult than a cow to climb a tree, and he can only count on his son.

There were still many people waiting outside, and after the military judge took a sip of water, he read:

"March Xinsi, Concubine Li dares to ask her husband again......

"The concubine is not good at the field, but she can spin and weave cloth to the peasant woman in the middle, please teach me to cook the field, the husband is still rich, the concubine has enough food and clothing, only the gentleman ......"

"A gentleman is in service, not day or month. Do you have a job? Chickens perched on the maze. At the end of the day, the sheep and cattle are bracketed. A gentleman is in service, and he is not hungry or thirsty? ”

The military judge stopped and said in surprise: "Your wife still knows poetry?" ”

Although Berau did not understand what the poem was about, he was even more proud: "She is the daughter of a doctor." "The new 81 Chinese network is updated the fastest on the computer:/

The military judge praised him for his good luck, and said that it was a good policy of the regent, and continued to read.

"When the husband enters Chu, don't slaughter the son of man, don't ***, the concubine doesn't want to be rich and noble, and the gentleman can return with his life."

"My wife is from Chu." Shrike explained: "I'm afraid I'll hurt her relatives." ”

The military judge bowed his head: "This is the difference between the wives of the Qin people and the wives of the Six Kingdoms, the local women in Guanzhong, the husbands want to go out to serve, they all say that if they don't cut off their heads, they will not return, and the women from the Six Kingdoms hope that there will not be too much killing and that their husbands will be safe." ”

After reading the letter, the military judge still had the service of writing the letter, but Beroe was a little shy, and he hesitated for a long time, but he could not jump out half a word.

At this time, I heard a shout from outside, it was a herald, announcing that all battalions would assemble tomorrow and march to the big camp under the play!

The entire Guanzhong was mobilized, and this time the black man was able to retrain the organized veterans after only one month, a total of 100,000 people, and the Guanzhong people accounted for the majority.

In addition, there are also shrikes, who were placed in Shanglin after marriage, and the Guanzhong prisoners known as the "Innocent Army" were also officially formed.

Seeing that time was running out, the military judge urged the shrike:

"To write or not to write? Go out without writing and let the next one come. ”

"Write."

"I write!"

Shrike blushed, he couldn't say love words, and he couldn't get along with poetry, so he could only blurt out:

"Tell my wife, if you really can't take care of the land, let it grow, we are the heroes of the Northern Expedition, we can resume the rent for three years, as for food in the coming year, I will use military merits to earn!"

……

Yang Xi, a native of Ningqin who successfully married a concubine from Huhai, was also recruited, but his responsibilities were much heavier than that of a grassroots soldier, with a thousand soldiers, he was ordered to escort a team of mysterious characters to the camp under the play.

Not all Weinan areas are open to farming, and it is easier to be a county and township, among which near Chang'an Township, which has convenient transportation, there is still a forbidden area within a radius of dozens of miles, but it is no longer a hunting place for royal nobles, but has become the territory of Ruolu Lingcheng in Shaofu, where new weapons and advanced equipment are specially built and tested......

At this moment, Yang Xi looked up at the equipment in front of him, which was as tall as a car and covered with cowhide and linen, and was a little surprised.

"This is a siege rush?"

"In your later life, you have never fought a war, siege vehicles and other utensils are all to be built improvised near the battlefield, how can there be a reason to build them hundreds of miles apart? Bumpy all the way, pushing to the city, long since it dispersed! ”

This time, the person who went to the play with Yang Xi was named Gong Yi, after Nai Luban, he surrendered to the Northern Expeditionary Army after the Battle of Wuguan, as a Shaofu Ruo Lu Ling, specializing in building a collection of weapons, and the examination master of the ink master was specialized in civilian crafts.

One is in charge of the military industry, the other is engaged in civilian use, and with the public loss, Heifu does not have to force the ink man to make a murderous weapon.

This instrument is a matter of secrecy, and its shape cannot be seen by outsiders, but Gong Yi has always liked to show off, and he has to teach Yang Xilai a lesson:

"Later life, you see the crossbow machine in the army, how many stones is the maximum, and how far can it shoot?"

Yang Xi said honestly: "The arm is open and the crossbow is opened, one stone to three stones, and the hand is wound; Stretch crossbow, four to six stones, wound with waist and feet; The largest one today should be a rhubarb crossbow, ten stones, wound with a winch......"

"Hahaha."

Gongsun Yun laughed and shook his head: "The Mo family is not happy to control the killing soldiers, so they are unwilling to do their best, but I am a loser, but I have specialized in this way for hundreds of years, I serve the crossbow made by the regent, the string is a big wood for the bow, the feather spear is the arrow, the machine is launched, the distance is five hundred steps, many kills, and its strength is thousand!" “

"Qianjun!?" Yang Xi was frightened, a thousand jun is twenty-five stones, such a strong crossbow, how big is it......

He looked at the equipment in front of him that was as tall as a car and tightly covered by leather cloth, and suddenly understood: "Could it be that this is the giant crossbow?" ”

"Otherwise, there can't be five hundred steps."

Gongsun Yun was triumphant, this is his masterpiece that took half a year, this crossbow is huge, the combination of a wooden crossbow and an iron base, requires the cooperation of multiple people to turn and shoot.

Secondly, the structure of the giant crossbow is complex, and the crossbow machine relies on manpower to rotate the winch shaft, and relies on the copper chain to drive the bowstring to achieve energy storage and launch.

Finally, the giant crossbow has a high and low firing range, which is practical and lethal.

He boasted: "Don't talk about killing people, you can also slay dragons!" ”

Yang Xi was in awe for a while, and wanted to take a look, but unfortunately this thing was a military secret, and even their escorts couldn't see its true face, so it seemed that they could only wait for a glimpse of its power on the battlefield.

He could only ask: "Dare to ask Ruo Lu Ling, what is the name of this crossbow?" ”

"This is the name of the regent himself."

Gongsun Yun said: "The regent said that the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are the Luminous Stars who came out to disturb the world, and they want to let the three armies use this giant crossbow to annihilate them one by one." "ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

"Hence the name 'Star Destroyer Crossbow'."

Gongsun Yun made an exaggerated gesture, felt that this name was indeed extraordinary, and said again:

"Great Qin Star Annihilation Crossbow!"
