Jixian County, Yan's house.

Jiang Jin gave Yanbei Jixian several mansions outside the city, and now Yanbei is placed in the east gate not far from the city, three courtyards surround a spacious open space, and there are two big spruce trees growing in the northeast corner, which is very popular with Yanbei.

Under the cedar tree, a few horses with high shoulders and wide backs were tethered, and with a soft sound in the clearing, the crossbow with the distinctive red paint of the Han army had already projected short arrows, and at a distance of fifty paces, the leather armor supported by wooden blocks in front of the buttress penetrated and nailed to the wood.

Two identical short arrows were stuck in the leather armor, one of which was shot from a Liaodong crossbow sealed in black paint, but the performance was slightly worse, only piercing a layer of leather armor, failing to penetrate the wooden block. The nimble warrior lifted the leather armor in front of Yan Bei, who put down the strong crossbow, and watched the two identical short arrows shoot at different depths, Yan Bei's brows furrowed slightly, and shouted: "Ah Jin, take a Liaodong big ring, don't use your saber." ”

Just from the strength of the upper winding, Yan Bei could not detect the difference between the crossbow made by Nanyang and the crossbow made by Liaodong, they are also heavy crossbows that require the shooter to be on the ground for half a trip, but the damage caused by the crossbow bolt projection is obviously weaker than the Liaodong crossbow.

These two crossbows are also placed on the battlefield, hitting the enemy's generals, and the enemy armor of the Nanyang crossbow penetrates, and it is difficult for people under heavy protection to survive; But the Liaozao crossbow can only nail through the iron armor, once there is leather armor inside, the enemy is nothing more than breaking some flesh, and there will definitely be the strength of a battle.

If it is an ordinary soldier, no matter what crossbow head is shot, it will definitely be a death, but this is not a hand crossbow or waist crossbow, this is the most lethal crossbow!

Comparing with each other, Yan Bei was naturally dissatisfied in his heart.

Jiang Jin was even more depressed than Yanbei in his heart, he was originally going to be transferred to Wuhuan to enjoy his happiness...... Not to mention, just because Youzhou Mu, General Zhenbei, and Jihou are his brothers, who in the subject country of Wuhuan can't serve like an uncle? As a result, Gongsun Xu's dead ghost made a fuss in Zhuo County, and Liaodong couldn't go, so he was tired and followed the queue of escorts to and fro to transport grain on the road for more than a month.

On the road from Yuyang Quanzhou to Zhuojun, he is more familiar with it than anyone else, and even the little officials on the way are familiar with him!

Now that he is free, he is looking for someone to carry two jars of Jizhou Taoxian wine sent by others, he knows that Yanbei is good at drinking this, so he is about to leave when he comes to find it, and he comes to drink a few more bowls of wine with his brother, who knows that the brother in his head is piercing the right eye actually wants to let him accompany him to try the knife and armor.

The precision forging saber on his waist was removed, Jiang Jin softly lifted the soldier's standard ring, looked at Yan Bei, who was standing upright with both hands holding the big ring knife in both hands, and laughed out loud, and said, "Brother, the last time you and I competed, it was still in Wubao in Fanyang, right?" ”

Yan Bei couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, but no! The two of them hadn't fought with weapons like this for several years, so they couldn't help nodding and said, "Yan Mou has not danced on the battlefield for several years, so you really know right...... Come on, come on, today is a good season, come and try to be a brother's ability to regress! ”

After robbing Tao Qian that year, Yan Bei gave Jiang Jin the best saber in the war, and Jiang Jin said at that time that in the future, Yan Bei would have no chance to use the knife if they were there. Sure enough, in the past four or five years, Yan Bei has had fewer and fewer opportunities to use the knife, and now he remembers that it seems that he is fighting for his life, and he has gradually moved away from him.

After all, the two failed to compete, the two sides received three moves in a short time, Yan Bei double-wielded and slashed hard, Jiang Jin's ring knife was cut into two sections, and the sharp ring knife grazed Jiang Jin's chest, if it weren't for Yan Bei staggering to retract his strength, this knife would have to hurt Jiang Jin, which made both of them extremely afraid.

"Damn it, brother." Jiang Jin looked at the ring knife in his hand that was broken in two, and then looked at the Nanyang knife in Yan Bei's hand that cut a small gap, took a deep breath and said: "Fortunately, I received it, otherwise Lao Jiang's life would have died at the door of the house, what is the matter!" Our knife is so not banned? ”

Yan Bei retracted too much, and the wrist he was pulling was a little painful, staring at the jagged edge of the ring knife in his hand for a long time, and then he took the broken knife in Jiang Jin's hand and said, "It's not that it's not disabled, it's bad in toughness." ”

The fracture of the broken knife is not smooth, and there is no knife in the world that can cut iron like mud, and the means of quenching the Liaodong knife are not good enough, resulting in the blade being too brittle, and it will be broken like an iron knife cutting a bronze knife under the vigorous block.

The serrations of the blades of the two knives are similar, and they are also covered with soil and burned blades, but the difference is only in the quenching and tempering processes, but the blade appears like this.

"Ah Jin, wait for you to go to the subject country, bring a letter to Lei Gong in Liaodong, and ask him to coordinate Yuyang and Liaodong's iron prison, we also have to make such a knife, such a armor, and such a crossbow!" Yan Bei's eyes seemed to be blazing, stopping what Jiang Jin wanted to say next, and said: "I don't care if these knives are the best weapons made by Nanyang swordsmiths, if one day our soldiers and horses cross the Yellow River, Yan can't teach the children of the Yan clan to fight against Yuan Highway's soldiers and horses with such broken knives!" ”

"Ah, my brother, didn't we just receive General Yuan's seal, aren't we all all-informed? Why do you bother with all this effort...... What kind of Yellow River to fight, which Menzi emperor, wait for the next year out of Youzhou to kill Gongsun Zan and then destroy Yuan Shao, in the north of the Yellow River, the brothers take their brother as the emperor, how good! Jiang Jin said to make Yan Bei glare, closed his mouth and nodded: "Okay, okay, brother, don't worry, our Youzhou will definitely be able to fight such a knife, better than their stuff!" Brother, we've finished reading the armor, let's drink, right? ”

Jiang Jin didn't pay attention to these things, and when he saw Yan Bei laughing, he shook his head and said, "Brother, you have a really big heart, aren't you tired if you want too much?" Now that we are sitting in Youzhou, you have already thought of going to war with Yuan Shu in Huainan, and if you want me to say, now that the brothers are living a good life, you should also enjoy it...... I'm about to be an uncle, right? ”

When it came to the soon-to-be-born child, Yan Bei looked relaxed and said with a rare smile: "There are still a few months, a few days ago, Ah Miao asked me what the child should be called, I plan to call it Yan Huan if it is a child, Huan pulls out the troubled times, and does great governance, what do you think?" When you leave in a few days, take ten sets of armor and use them to buy the hearts of your own subordinates, you are a fool, don't let your brothers slaughter you in the future! ”

"Haha, where can it be, Jiang someone's brothers are all very obedient!"

Yan Bei sneered, left the broken knife for the guards to clean up, went to the mansion with Jiang Jin to drink, and said to Jiang Jin: "You want to get rich, but some money can be taken and some money can't, I plan to give you the income of Xuanwu County Mutual Market, and use it to buy the Wuhuan people of the subject country, Liaodong's Xiaoshan Yu Louban and Dai Shan Yu Yudun, you have made a good relationship on my behalf, but you remember, don't look for bad ideas from military rations and ordnance." ”

"Oh, brother, don't worry, you've spoken, can I still move? I have to make meritorious contributions in the future, and learn from you to be a marquis! Come, drink and drink! ”
