The first big one in the city defense equipment is not small, hundreds of catties and thousands of catties, and some of the surfaces are full of iron nails and the like, even if there are many people, it is not easy to lift, so they have to be pulled by car. The sound of the people shouting trumpets and gasping for breath rang out.

Dong Ce came over this time, in addition to being depressed in his heart, he also had a thought, that is, to be familiar with these city-guarding equipment. After all, he had never done this kind of work before, and seeing that the thieves were only afraid that they would attack today, he was familiar with it now, so as not to be in a hurry later.

It's really not in vain, Dong Ce has a lot of knowledge.

These instruments have been developed in the land of China for thousands of years, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they are really strange, complete in kind, and each has its own effect. Due to the development of firearms in the Ming Dynasty, many offensive and defensive equipment that were not available in previous dynasties were invented.

It can be said that it has reached a peak.

Dong Ce saw all kinds of instruments, some common, such as fork rods, some uncommon, and even something he had never seen before: grate fences, iron striking wood, yaksha slats, wolf tooth slaps, etc., and so on.

Dong Ce walked around for almost half an hour before he went through all the city-defying equipment one by one, and then he called the little official and asked about the specific use of these equipment, but he didn't expect that after listening to his words, the little official was so open that he couldn't say a word.

Dong Ce raised his eyebrows: "What, is this a secret?" ”

"No, no, don't get me wrong." The little official hurriedly waved his hand, and he smiled awkwardly: "It's not that the little one doesn't want to say, it's really that the little one doesn't know it, the little one is just responsible for taking care of these things, but he doesn't know the specific purpose." ”

Hearing this answer, Dong Ce couldn't cry or laugh a little, so he was about to give up, but the little official suddenly said: "Wait a minute, the little ones still have a way." ”

As he spoke, he ran back to the public house here, where the guards rested and worked, and the only brick and wood houses in the large courtyard.

After a while, the little official came back, still holding a thick thread-bound book in his hand, and from the surface and side of the book, this page was already yellowed, and it looked like it was some years. The book is so thick that it's about the same as a brick.

"What is this?" Dong Ce asked with a frown.

The expression on the little official's face was even more embarrassed, and he whispered: "I don't know, I haven't read a book, I only know that this book was transported with this batch of armor, according to the adult who escorted it, if there is anything I don't understand, I just have to flip through this book." It's just that I don't know what is written in it. ”

Dong Ce took it, and on the cover, four big characters immediately jumped into view: Wujing General.

His hands shook uncontrollably. The name of the general of the martial arts, as a person who has studied history and wars in history in later generations, is definitely no stranger to these four words. It's just that Dong Ce didn't expect to see this book here at this moment.

"Martial arts must always be ......," Dong Ce muttered to himself in a low voice.

"My lord is right, it's the general of the martial arts." A voice came from behind: "It is the first volume of the Martial Arts General to defend the city, and there is a lot of space in it, which is about the equipment of guarding the city." ”

Dong Ce turned around, but saw Li Keshou walking over with a leisurely smile on his face.

If this smile wasn't pretended, Dong Ce would really admire him. I've been busy for so long, and I've been doing all the hard and nerve-wracking things, I'm afraid that I haven't slept yet, not only do I not see a trace of fatigue, but I am in good spirits, and I see, my mood seems to be very good.

This Li is acceptable, but he is really not an ordinary person.

Li Keshou was not surprised by Dong Ce's literacy, although there were many illiterate officers in recent years, there were quite a few literate ones.

Li Keshou arched his hand towards Dong Ce, and said with a smile: "The lower official is looking for an adult, I heard that the adult is here, and it happens that this place is under the jurisdiction of the lower official's errand, so I will come and have a look by the way." ”

Dong Ce shook the martial arts scripture in his hand and said with a smile: "Master Li is really well-read, can he even read such military books?" ”

"Originally, I didn't look at it, but later, thieves were rampant in the pass, Chengcheng County was located at a critical point, and every time there was a war, I had to worry more about being an official here. Xia Guan started reading military books ten years ago, and after ten years, he has read a lot, but unfortunately, it has not come in handy until now. ”

Li Keshou's words revealed deep helplessness.

"I can't say it, I can use it in two days." Dong Ce smiled and pointed in the direction of the city gate.

Li Keshou hurriedly said: "Don't dare, where is the subordinate to speak?" ”

Dong Ce was noncommittal and asked, "I don't know how many years it will take for Master Li to read the Martial Arts Classic?" ”

"It's been ten years, and I started watching it ten years ago. It's just, it's a pity! ”

Li Keshou sighed: "The wisdom of the sages, I can't reach it, although the martial arts are always written by the Song people, they are profound and broad, and they have a lot of knowledge. After watching it for ten years, it is only six or seven percent. ”

"Write down six or seven percent?" The corners of Dong Ce's eyes twitched, I really don't know if this Li Keshou is deliberately showing off. There are always two episodes of the Wujing, adding up to a total of forty volumes, which not only have all kinds of equipment, the use of armor, but also various precautions for marching and fighting, and there are a lot of cases, as well as a considerable number of illustrations.

"It's just right." Dong Ce said with a smile: "I don't know if I can bother Master Li to explain it, but it just so happens that I am also very interested in these things." ”

"The lower officials also have something to say to adults." Li Keshou said with a smile.

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and led, Dong Ce went first, he was about half a step behind Dong Ce, and the two of them walked slowly. Li Keshou explained the use of those instruments to Dong Ce while walking, he has been studying the martial arts for ten years, so he naturally understands it very thoroughly, and he is eloquent and can express the meaning clearly. Listening to his explanation is much clearer and more direct than reading a book by yourself.

There are dozens of kinds, but Li Keshou didn't talk about all of them, but selected one example from each one, anyway, its functions are roughly average.

For example, things used for the city wall to block, bamboo stands, grate fences, etc., are basically the same, and Li Keshou picked one of them to explain.

It didn't take long to walk to the place not far from the south city gate, and in a short time, Li Keshou used concise language to explain these instruments very thoroughly, and Dong Ce basically had a certain understanding now. Of course, the specific timing of use and the cooperation with other equipment are not useful just by reading books, and they have to hone and increase experience in actual combat. Li Keshou himself has little experience, but Dong Ce has fought a lot of wars, and his use in this area should be much stronger than Li Keshou.

After finishing speaking, Li Keshou suddenly stopped and said with a smile: "It's almost the same, the city is full of noble officials, and the lower officials won't go up." ”

Dong Ce looked at his eyes, which were extremely deep, incomprehensible and incomprehensible.

"Why are you telling me this?" Dong Ce asked.

This is also a sentence that Dong Ce has always wanted to ask, he feels that Li Keshou seems to be very friendly to him and takes extra care of him. In fact, although Li Keshou has a lower official position than him, firstly, he is a civilian official, and secondly, he is a local official, even if the countermeasures are not pretentious at all, Dong Ce has nothing to do, but Li Keshou did not do this, but tried his best to do what he asked for. This made Dong Ce grateful, but he was also a little puzzled in his heart, but he was sure of one thing - Li Keshou was not hostile.

"Because it is only valuable and meaningful to tell you."

The leisurely smile on Li Keshou's face disappeared, with a faint mockery in his expression, his chin raised towards the head of the South Gate City, and the corners of his mouth glanced slightly: "Do you know, in the past few months, I have advised the county lord five times, asking him to strengthen his defense, treat the soldiers well, and train the people." But the county lord, I haven't heard it once. He always thought that the thieves would not come over, in fact, everyone knew that he persuaded himself in his heart and forced himself to think so. Whether the thief will come over or not, no one dares to say, how can he make up his mind? "I'll say something disrespectful, now we are officials of the Ming Dynasty, there are a lot of them. In fact, you may not know, I have long been prepared to die with the city, the thieves will come sooner or later, this place must not be able to hold, those of us who are officials will definitely die. ”
