Chapter 177: Expedition is imminent (monthly ticket)
"Bo Fu, how about this knife?" During the period of creating the Mo Dao, Li You often went to Mr. Gu's blacksmith shop to discuss various problems encountered in the construction process. Relying on the superb skills of Mr. Gu and his disciples, he finally completed these Mo Dao before going to war. Now it's time to take it out and try it.
After weighing the weight of this Damo sword made for him, Zhou Bofu was very satisfied, "Haha, some people like these heavy weapons. The weapons created by the Ministry of Works are as light as those used by women."
"Try to see how it compares to your big-plate knife?" Li You also took a normal weight Mo knife and waved it a few times in his hand. The three-foot long blade and the weight of ten kilograms gave people an invincible feeling. The iron armor used by Mr. Gu took out the knife and tried it out and broke in response to the sound, which was vulnerable at all.
Zhou Bofu was even more happy to play. He waved the larger Mo knife and slashed left and right. The iron armor placed by Mr. Gu and the wooden horses turned into pieces one after another.
It was really a shattering man. Looking at Zhou Bofu's unparalleled aura of waving Mo Dao, Li You secretly smacked his tongue. If he had to lead a thousand strong soldiers, wearing heavy armor, walking forward in a row with Mo Dao, who could stop them? Unfortunately, the heavy armor of Mo Dao is expensive, and it is not easy to find strong soldiers who can wield ten kilograms of Mo Dao. Only after searching the complete Zhenwei camp, did he find a team of 100 people. Li You still had a long way to go to reappear the scenery of the Tang Dynasty Mo Dao Team in the Great Wei Dynasty.
However, there are only a hundred people who are barely enough now. If they are in a narrower area, this is a situation where a man is in a situation where thousands of men cannot escape. A hundred Modao teams block the intersection, no one can break in.
"Hahahaha, sir, this sword is very popular. If the Modao team is really as powerful as the lord said, what if a family is reduced to a hundred households?" Zhou Bofu said with a laugh. A few days ago, Li You asked him to put down the Thousand Houses team in his hand to lead the carefully selected strong soldiers. He was also dissatisfied with his wise force. Now that he saw the power of Modao, he no longer cared about the cancellation of his official position. For him, being able to fight happily on the battlefield is more important than anything else.
"It's not that you were reduced to a hundred households, but now I can only pick out such a few men who can dance Modao in the camp. After this battle, I will definitely go to the British Duke for help and ask him to allow me to select suitable soldiers from the entire imperial guards, and increase the number of the Modao team to one thousand." Fortunately, it's not difficult to select a thousand qualified men from hundreds of thousands of imperial guards, but the cost of building Modao and heavy armor is a headache.
It would be better if Li You were a forward. As long as Zhou Bofu led the Modao team to make contributions on the battlefield, Qiu Yuande, who has been fighting for a long time, would not be unable to see the value of the Modao team. However, now Li You is in the central army, it is probably difficult to have such an opportunity.
"Then the family is waiting. I don't know if it was the bastard who gave the emperor a message and asked us to compliment the central army. If the family knows, they must break his legs." Zhou Bofu, who lacked the chance to fight, was also very dissatisfied.
"Even if you win this battle, you will not be able to completely destroy the Tang Kuo army. There will be still opportunities to march into the north of Mobei in the future." After appeased Zhou Bofu, Li You turned his eyes to Mr. Gu again. This is a rare talent. It would be great if he could be under his command. So he asked tentatively, "Mr. Gu, I have a ruthless request. I want Mr. Gu to follow us to go on the battle so that I can stay in the camp to repair weapons. After this battle, I will also ask for merit and reward for Mr. Gu. I wonder if Mr. Gu is willing?"
"Your Madam just calls him Gu Jiangzi." Gu Jiangzi thought for a while after hearing this. Now that the Mo family is declining, there are only so many people left in the sect to support it, but the master still refuses to make changes. He has not gained much after many years of operation in Beijing. The lord in front of him not only has a respectable identity, but also has both civil and military affairs. If he can make him a disciple of the Mo family in a subtle way around, then the revival of the Mo family is much better than continuing to run around aimlessly. In addition, he is also very interested in Li You's endless new things, so he agreed neatly, "The Count invites you to give the lord a chance, how dare you not obey?"
As for whether he would be blamed by the master after he went down, Gu Jiangzi no longer cared about so much. Moreover, his unique identity in the Mo family, so the master would not say anything easily.
"In this way, Mr. Gu will do it well in the past two days, and go to the mansion to find me in three days. If you have the foundation and are willing to make achievements, you can bring it with you." After all, Gu Jiangzi is old and does some meticulous work to teach. He will have to do such a strong job as swinging a sledgehammer.
After dealing with these things, Li You and Zhou Bofu returned to the camp outside the city with a carriage full of Modao and distributed these Modao. According to Li Siye's original instructions, Li You began to teach their Modao sword techniques and formations. He had made plans to give these people the best food supply and could not give up training when marching. Anyway, since he was guarding the central army beside the emperor, he would not be able to walk very far a day.
Three days later, Gu Jiangzi came as promised with more than a dozen disciples, and Li You also organized them into the army. These people did not have to go out to fight, they just needed to repair weapons for Zhenwei Camp and make some gadgets as Li You ordered. As soon as they arrived in the camp, Li You threw over a drawing of the Eight-Nuo Crossbow that he had drawn for Gu Jiangzi to study. Gu Jiangzi, who had obtained the new drawing, immediately took his disciples to study it.
It was time for the army to set off. Before leaving, Zhou Nan found Li You regardless of rumors. "Brother You must take care of yourself when he goes to the expedition this time. Don't take any risk." As he said that, Zhou Nan's face became redder and redder. At the end, she said in a mosquito-smelling voice, "Uncle Qian is about to enter Beijing. When we come back this expedition, we can get married."
Will you get married when the battle is over? After hearing this, Li You's forehead sweat is gone. It seems that the protagonist of this dialogue usually has no good ending, right? Could it be that there will be any accidents in this in-person expedition?
