.Returning from my hometown, happy holidays, continue to update :)

~~~~~~~~

A week later, there were no more farmers near Dasan Pass that dared to confront Lei Dongfeng, and all the merchants and civilians and workers praised Xiao Lei, the "new" Guan Shou.

During this period, Lei Dongfeng still gained some unexpected gains.

One was three days after he captured Dasan Pass, a caravan dressed in a horse gang came to the front of the pass and said he wanted to see the Great Tushi Wugo.

The officer on duty before the pass did not dare to slack off. He immediately controlled the visitor and reported to Lei Dongfeng.

Lei Dongfeng and Jiang Zhuying brought Zhang Ce and Li Ruoxi and other generals at home to see that these people were escorting a batch of weapons.

These weapons were not large in number, but their quality was amazing. It turned out that these goods were actually five hundred pairs equipped by the Empire for a few first-level corpses.

Lei Dongfeng was curious about why the private soldiers under Ugo could get the crossbow that was strictly prohibited from circulation in the empire, so these people came to his door.

In the first instance, the leader of the team was questioned. The leader could not bear the torture and told him that he was also appointed to send the crossbows transported from the Central and Southern Provinces of the Empire to hand them over to Ugo after they arrived at Dasan Pass. He also said that Mr. Tian would hand them over to them at that time.

"Mr. Tian, ​​Central and Southern Province..." Lei Dongfeng vaguely touched some things hidden deep, but could not be connected for the time being.

"These crossbows may only be done by Westerners. Otherwise, no matter how bold some people in the empire are, they would not give so many crossbows to Ugo." Li Ruoxi answered Lei Dongfeng's doubts.

"The Central and Southern Provinces are no longer in my hands, and Zhongdu Longyang is in danger!" Zhang Ce took a breath of air conditioning. His meaning was very obvious, that is, if the Western coalition forces did not capture Luoyang, they would not have given such a big gift to Wugo.

In order to strictly control the circulation of crossbows, the empire only set up military factories in Jiangshan, the imperial capital and Longyang, Zhongdu to produce crossbows. Moreover, because the cost is too high and for confidentiality, the military strictly controls the production of crossbows, with an annual output of only 3,000 pairs. As for bed crossbows, they only produce high-end military factories in Jiangshan, the imperial capital.

After hearing what Zhang Ce said, the generals in the house remained silent. If they fell, the entire empire's hinterland would have been penetrated.

Moreover, most importantly, if the Western coalition forces were asked to obtain a large number of continuous crossbows or even production methods, it would be of no use to add wings to the tiger and would be even more difficult to deal with.

"But Jose is not a fool, how could he easily send such good weapons to a chieftain who is very powerful in Sichuan..." Lei Dongfeng was a little puzzled.

"It may not be Jose sent it. There are only people who care about the immediate interests in everything..." Li Ruoxi smiled. If the Archbishop Rembrandt on the other end knew that someone was evaluating him like this, he didn't know what he felt.

"Don't think about the matter in Zhongdu for now. Even if these five hundred crossbows are a gift to us, a crossbow battalion happened to be organized to supplement the problem of insufficient long-range lethality in our army." Zhang Ce comforted.

"The rewards for this dungeon are really rich." Lei Dongfeng smiled bitterly. He also knew that he could not do anything for the time being, and he smiled helplessly.

"The Re-Cross Crossbow Divine Machine Camp is pretty good. This is an equipment that even the top ten legions of the Empire do not have." Jiang Zhuying also smiled.

Indeed, in addition to the dozen or so crossbows brought by Guan Zhongyun, the Potian Legion had only a hundred mates of the continuous crossbows. If there were enough continuous crossbows and crossbow arrows at that time, how could the Western coalition easily attack the city?

"In order to prevent the legions of local areas, the empire sent a small number of crossbows and even strictly controlled the production of crossbows, which caused the strength of the legions of the empire today. It should be noted that warriors are not responsible for managing troops, but for using troops. Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing to have today's shame." Li Ruoxi said coldly.

When Lei Dongfeng and others heard this, the cornerstones of these empires and the professional iron-blooded soldiers were all feeling a little sad. But they had to admit that Li Ruoxi hit the nail on the head.

"Girl, don't talk nonsense." Li Yan felt a little dissatisfied when he saw the expressions of Lei Dongfeng and others.

"Mu Tong said it right. Today's shame is not terrible. As a citizen of the empire and a soldier, we have to use our own blood to wash away the shame!" Lei Dongfeng suddenly said loudly.

"Brother said this very well." Jiang Zhuying, Zhang Ce and others nodded one after another.

Even the old Taoist and Roland on the side were respectful.

A soldier, a noun that is so simple that it cannot be simple, carries the most fundamental hope of a country. His blood flows for the country; the soldiers of the Han family are born for the country and die for the country.

~~~~~~~

He said no, sir, we should select a group of people among us to be crossbowmen." A Han soldier said to his companion.

"I'm just going to be a crossbowman, how good it is to be a cavalry." The Han soldier said disdainfully.

If you want to go, you don’t want it. You must form a cavalry battalion of crossbows. You must use military crossbows to score more than nine out of ten times before you can participate in the selection of this battalion. You also require that you can drive a hard bow of more than eighty kilograms off the horse and shoot a red heart that is 150 steps away to be considered officially admitted. "The beginning of the Han army.

"There is such a high requirement? I'm going to try it. I'll go to the captain to sign up later." The Han soldier was in a state of spirit.

On the school ground, Lei Dongfeng watched his Han soldiers continue to pour into the field under the leadership of their respective commanders, and launched the horse and shot the target in batches in sequence.

The long-range weapons of the imperial cavalry are divided into many different legions.

For example, the top ten legions such as the Potian Legion, namely the first-level legion, are generally equipped with hand crossbows with a range of about 60 steps.

Like the flying cavalry, long-range weapons are simply short spears for throwing.

For example, the Flying Tiger Legion, the head of the three major cavalry regiments of the Empire, had more than 50,000 cavalrymen in the entire army, all of which used longbows with infantry and a range of up to 120 steps.

The elite of them, namely the Flying Tiger Cavalry, has a population of about 10,000, and everyone can drive a hard bow of 150 steps. Its long-range attack power has exceeded that of first-class infantry regiments.

According to rumors, Zhao Yun, the first commander of the Flying Tiger Legion, and the British Marquis of the Empire, had three thousand white horses under his command, and everyone could drive a hard bow of more than 200 steps. It was precisely with these three thousand people that Zhao Yun solved the dilemma of Taizu being surrounded by 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Xianbei.

As for the second-level legions of the empire, they are mostly dominated by ordinary cavalry bows, and generally have a range of only equivalent to a continuous crossbow, at about 80 steps, and their firing rate and lethality are not as good as a continuous crossbow.

Now, Lei Dongfeng is preparing to equip this batch of crossbows to his outstanding cavalry. After Jiang Zhuying's inspection, it is already the latest equipment distributed by the military headquarters, with a range of about 90 steps.
Chapter completed!
