Chapter 537: Appoint Xu Huang, a strong crossbowman

"Gongming, you come to the carriage." Lu Budao.

Lu Bu's trip this time, but on the bright side, just the soldiers escorted by the army reached 500 people, and 100 of them were cavalry.

Although the situation in Xuzhou is relatively stable, LΓΌ Bu's safety is extremely important in the eyes of civilian officials and military generals.

No matter what some wealthy families have about Lu Bu, they have to admit that a living Lu Bu is good for the stability of Xuzhou, and if Lu Bu has other accidents, what kind of impact will it have on the development of Xuzhou.

What kind of influence does Lu Bu have among the officers and men in the army, if they know that Lu Bu has an accident, what kind of drastic actions will he have, then Xuzhou will fall into chaos, and some of the family's efforts for many years may be destroyed.

There is a certain contest between the wealthy family and Lu Bu, which is carried out in secret, if no one can take Lu Bu's place and stabilize Xuzhou, these families will not act rashly.

After today's events, Xu Huang's sense of belonging to Lu Bu has been significantly improved, and being able to enter the craftsman's workshop shows that Lu Bu recognizes him, which is a great encouragement for Xu Huang.

The system in the Xuzhou army determines that if you want to make a difference, you must have enough merit to do it, if a general can't get the appreciation of the monarch, what it means to this general, Xu Huang is clear.

Xu Huang was lucky, he was able to be trusted under Yang Feng before, but Yang Feng actually sold him to Lu Bu for some benefits, that's right, this is for sale.

After such a thing happened, Xu Huang's good impression of Yang Feng disappeared.

In the Xuzhou army, Xu Huang saw an opportunity to improve himself, compared to Chang'an at this time, the strength of the Xuzhou army is strong, and Xuzhou has strong princes like Lu Bu, which will give more confidence to the officers and soldiers in the army, so that they have more confidence when dealing with the war.

The progress of the war is a test for the officers and men in the army, and it is also an opportunity, if he can have an outstanding performance in the war, the general's future achievements will obviously be greater.

After getting Lu Bu's attention, the key is to see what kind of measures are in place.

Entering the carriage, Lu Bu nodded and said, "Gongming sit, no need to be polite." ”

The carriage moved forward slowly, and Lu Bu said with a smile: "Today, Gongming followed Benhou to the craftsman's workshop, what kind of feeling did he have?" ”

"The scale of the craftsman's workshop is huge, and my subordinates dare not comment indiscriminately." Xu Huang said respectfully.

Lu Budao: "In front of Benhou, there is no need to be so restrained, during this period of time, it has been relatively hard for Komeito to be responsible for the security situation in the city. ”

"It's a matter of subordination." Xu Huang said.

"If Benhou puts Gongming in charge of training an army, I wonder if Gongming will have confidence?" Lu Bu asked.

Xu Huang was slightly stunned when he heard this, the meaning behind training an army is to appoint him, and there are not many generals in the Xuzhou army who can enjoy such treatment.

Running a soldier alone is a general's need to work hard, and the generals who followed Lu Bu at the beginning can now be in charge of a general, which is in exchange for their efforts, and Lu Bu has a lot of attention to the generals who followed him in the past, which is also reasonable.

When Lu Bu was in a critical situation, these generals still chose to follow him, this is the trust in Lu Bu, and Lu Bu has more trust in them, which is the right thing, and the monarch and the ministers are often mutual.

"The ability of subordinates is not enough to convince the public." Xu Huang said.

From Xu Huang's words, Lu Bu felt Xu Huang's yearning for this matter, and said with a smile: "Gongming hasn't done it yet, how do you know that you can't convince the public, just like when Benhou came to Xuzhou, how many princes thought that it was difficult for Benhou to gain a foothold in Xuzhou." ”

"But Benhou is to let the princes of the world look sideways, that is, because Benhou has absolute confidence, Benhou believes that with his own efforts, Xuzhou can be stabilized, and the Xuzhou army can gain a firm foothold among the princes."

"Ben Hou admires Komei's ability, and Ben Hou also believes that Komeito has such ability."

Xu Huang solemnly clenched his fists and said: "Thanks to Wen Hou's trust, the last general will definitely do his best." ”

"Okay, Gongming has this confidence, and he will definitely be able to give this army a place in the Xuzhou army in the future." Lu Budao.

When Lu Bu informed Xu Huang of the soldiers who needed to be trained, Xu Huang fell into deep thought.

The army that Lu Bu wants to form in the Xuzhou Army is called the Strong Crossbow Army, as the name suggests, the sergeants and soldiers of the army are equipped with more strong crossbows.

The crossbow can play a great role in war, as a weapon of long-range destruction, it can play an important role when the two armies are facing each other.

In terms of long-range offensive means, in general, an army relies on crossbows and bows and arrows.

Compared to bows and arrows, the range of crossbows is about the same, but in terms of penetration, bows and arrows can be compared, and crossbows are easier to control than bows and arrows, and soldiers can use them after training.

However, the crossbow also has a significant disadvantage in warfare, that is, the use of the crossbow.

After the crossbow is released, it will take a lot of time to complete the next release, and in such a time, the enemy can get close quickly.

The results of a crossbowman as soon as he approaches an enemy are obvious, and the archer is much faster at releasing than the crossbowman.

Under normal circumstances, in the army, in terms of long-range offensive means, more bows and arrows are equipped with crossbows.

And the strong crossbow in Lu Bu's mouth, in terms of range, must not be close.

What surprised Xu Huang was that the way Lu Bu asked him to train the strong crossbow army had many differences, and the way of attacking in three stages made Xu Huang feel surprised, he didn't expect that the crossbowmen could take such means when attacking.

If the training of crossbowmen can reach what Lu Bu said, the role they can play in the war is absolutely unimaginable, and it will even change some of the arms of the armies under the command of other princes.

"My subordinates will do their best." Xu Huang said.

"The training of strong crossbowmen is very important, especially the cooperation of officers and men in the army, which is very important, and if there is a mistake in the middle, it is an extremely dangerous thing for the entire army." Lu Budao: "The powerful crossbow created in the craftsman's workshop can reach one hundred and five steps in range, and this kind of sharp weapon is definitely a leading existence among the princes.
