"Ballista?"

Cangzhou camp, when Xiao Ming said his thoughts, everyone showed puzzled looks, even Niu Ben shook his head slightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because there has never been a crossbow cavalry in the history of the Great Yu Kingdom, because the crossbow cannot be pulled on a horse.

Xiao Ming knew that these people would have such a reaction.

At this time, Xiao Ming said: "In the Qin period, the Qin army had a crossbow cavalry, and it was this crossbow cavalry that defeated the Huns, so it is not impossible to say that the crossbow cavalry is not feasible. ”

There are records of the crossbow cavalry of the Qin Dynasty in the knowledge of the science and technology library, but many specific cases are no longer available, leaving only a few words.

Then Xiao Ming said: "The crossbow is powerful and accurate, this is an advantage, the only disadvantage on the horse is that it is difficult to wind, but this king will provide you with a new crossbow, this kind of crossbow will be very easy to pull away, so that the Guanning Iron Cavalry will not be afraid of the barbarians' cavalry, and there is another one, the dismounted soldiers can also form a crossbow array to kill the enemy, and at the same time, each person is equipped with a saber for close combat, so that even if the enemy is facing head-on, I am afraid that the barbarians will not get any advantage." ”

"A brand new crossbow?" Niu Ben suddenly understood when he heard this, "I just said that His Highness will not be untargeted, it turns out that preparations have been made for a long time, if there is really this kind of crossbow arrow, it is a good idea at this stage." ”

Lu Fei also said: "Haha, now our army is going to have a powerful weapon again." ”

A kind of Guanning Iron Cavalry also looked excited when they heard this, they were fed up with the feeling of being hung far away by the barbarian cavalry, and constantly being shot by bows and arrows.

Now that the matter in Cangzhou has stabilized, there is no need for Xiao Ming to continue to stay in Cangzhou, he said: "I will return to Qingzhou in the next two days and order the military workshop to produce this kind of pulley crossbow. ”

After talking about the pulley crossbow, Xiao Ming talked about the development of the Guanning Iron Horse in the future.

He looked at Lei Ming at this time and said, "Lei Ming, in the future, the Guanning Iron Cavalry will guard Cangzhou and be responsible for continuing to attack the barbarians on the grassland, do you have the confidence to be competent for this function?"

"Your Highness, I can!" Lei Ming said firmly.

Xiao Ming continued: "But when you enter the grassland next, you have one more thing to pay attention to. ”

"Your Highness, please speak." Lei Ming said.

Xiao Ming and Niu Ben glanced at each other, "In front of Cangzhou City this time, there was a conflict between the barbarians and the slave soldiers, which made this king see that there are still some people in the slave soldiers who are unwilling to be barbarian dogs and horses, especially in this Youzhou hometown, many people in Youzhou live under the rule of the barbarians to do cattle and horses, this time you enter the grassland to try to win over these people, if they can return to the Great Yu Kingdom, this is also the luck of my Great Yu Kingdom." ”

Lei Ming nodded.

This time, he and Lu Fei entered the grassland and found that there were still some cities in some places, and there were many people living in Youzhou.

When the barbarians occupied Youzhou, although a lot of arable land was turned into grassland, the barbarians did not exterminate the Youzhou people, but they carried out a more evil way of rule.

Mentioning this, Lei Ming's eyes were scarlet, and he said: "According to the captured barbarian captives, the barbarians call the people of Youzhou two-legged sheep, and this sheep is not a four-legged sheep, but a two-legged sheep, and these cities are sheepfolds. ”

"These Youzhou people living under the rule of the barbarians have a very miserable life, not only have to pay heavy taxes, once the male in the family is over twelve years old, they will enter the barbarian tribe as a slave, a disobedient will be killed, and the woman is even more miserable, the young woman must be dedicated to the barbarian tribal leader before marriage, the barbarian name is the first night right, many people will even fall to death their first child, because he does not want a child of mixed barbarian blood to be born."

Speaking of this, the soldiers of the Guanning Iron Cavalry clenched their fists one by one, and their teeth rattled.

Xiao Ming said at this time: "This king is ashamed, two wars, but it was my own people of the Great Yu Kingdom who were killed, and the barbarians did not break their bones at all, but in the face of the people of Youzhou in my Great Yu Country, I could only watch their lives so miserable, hey......"

"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself so much, I believe that the victory in the Battle of Cangzhou will definitely give hope to the people of Youzhou, as long as Your Highness can withstand it, they will have a day of freedom." Niu Ben said.

Lei Ming also nodded, "Your Highness, now in the entire Great Chongqing Country, only Your Highness can defeat the barbarians, we will believe whatever you say, and in the future, when we enter the grassland, we will find a way to help these Youzhou people escape." ”

Xiao Ming nodded, "But you also have to be careful, there will inevitably be some people who have forgotten their ancestors, and they are not very sure, so don't act rashly." ”

Lei Ming nodded.

A development plan was formulated for Guanning Tieqi, and Xiao Ming's affairs in Cangzhou were basically over.

The next day, he and Niu Ben, Lu Fei, and Luo Xin marched to Qingzhou City, while Lei Ming stayed, and from then on, the grassland was his battlefield.

Five days later, the group returned to Qingzhou City.

At this time, nearly two months have passed, and it is already winter, and ice can be seen on the river surface of Qingzhou.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ming sighed with emotion in his heart, it has been a year since he came to this world.

Too much has happened in this year, and he has gone from being a vassal king with nothing to now being able to face the 100,000 army of barbarians alone.

Only he can understand the hard work here.

But all the hard work was worth it, at least now that he has his own family business, and he doesn't have to worry about losing his life at any time.

"Your Highness is back, Your Highness is back!"

When he arrived at the Qi Palace, the servant who swept the floor at the door saw Xiao Ming coming back, dropped the broom, and happily ran back to the palace to spread the word.

After a while, Aster and Pothos ran out in delicate cotton jackets.

"Your Highness." Seeing Xiao Ming, Aster and Pothos shouted excitedly, their voices as crisp as larks.

Xiao Ming smiled indifferently, the killing aura in his heart melted like ice and snow at this moment, and he suddenly had a feeling of going home.

Yes, in a year, he has regarded the palace as his home, and these servants of the palace are his family.

"Do you miss this king?" Xiao Ming dismounted and grinned at this moment.

Aster and Pothos both turned red, this highness is too bohemian, how can he say such embarrassing things in front of so many subordinates.

Seeing that Aster and Pothos looked shy, Xiao Ming smiled more and more happily.

However, when he saw the two small padded jackets, one green and one purple, he couldn't help asking: "This is from the textile workshop?" ”

"No, in the two months that Your Highness has been gone, the textile workshop has spun a lot of cloth, and we have used this cloth to make a padded jacket for ourselves, and we have also sewed two pieces for Your Highness, do you want Your Highness to take a look."

Xiao Ming's heart warmed, it was still the two girls who were intimate, he said, "Let's go, go back and have a look." ”
