"Snapped!"

A delicate black pottery bowl was thrown heavily to the ground and broke into pieces.

"I have been planning here for many days and was about to launch a surprise attack on Wuyang, but Meng De took the lead."

"You are all hesitant, looking forward and backward, delaying the opportunity to fight, and making me angry!"

Yuan Shao was about thirty years old. He was handsome and majestic. He had a short beard and looked even more powerful. In ordinary life, Yuan Shao showed his kindness to others. He liked to cultivate scholars and loved his reputation. He was also born in the Yuan family, so he had a wide circle of friends.

But Yuan Shao was like a furious lion, his eyes were like daggers, wanting to choose people and devour them.

Cao Cao successfully raided Wuyang, then sneaked to Shu County to set up an ambush, killed Ma Xiang, and achieved his first victory in Yizhou.

For Yuan Shao, who is aspiring to make great achievements, this is by no means a happy thing.

You know, he was also preparing to attack Wuyang. He had been preparing for a long time, but Cao Cao got there first. You can imagine his depression. Moreover, Cao Cao should have been in Hanzhong, waiting for the heavy ordnance to be transported from the rear. The distance and difficulty of Cao Cao's surprise attack,

Much bigger than Yuan Shao, Cao Cao did it and even defeated Ma Xiang. After this battle, Cao Cao became famous in one battle.

There was a reason for Yuan Shao's anger. He had planned a surprise attack on Wuyang at least half a month ago, but his staff did not agree. They argued for many days before reaching a consensus on the necessity of the surprise attack. But when it came to the specific plan, they all had different opinions.

One word. Yuan Shaoer's roots were relatively soft, and time passed little by little in the endless discussions until Cao Cao, who was far away in Hanzhong, completed a stunning blow.

Several staff members in the tent looked embarrassed.

Yuan Shao was generous and loved to support scholars, and he had the aura of a famous family. He had many customers, and many famous people took refuge in him.

As the saying goes, "There is no first place in literature, no second place in military affairs." If there are too many literati in the house, many voices will inevitably appear.

If you meet a master who is decisive and decisive, you can open up your opinions; but if you meet a master who is indecisive, it will be more difficult to make a decision.

Yuan Shao undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

The Lord was furious, and his staff quickly tried to find a way to remedy the situation.

A middle-aged scribe cupped his hands and said, "Sir, sir, please don't be upset. The rebellion in Yizhou is far from over. You should calm down, make plans again, and make more contributions in the future."

Another old man said: "Exactly. Ma Xiang can only occupy two counties. Even if Ma Xiang is dead, it will take some time for Henan Yin (Zhu Jun) to figure out the city he occupied. The southern barbarian rebels have suffered losses

It's not big. The entire southern part of Yizhou is in the hands of the rebels. The entire Jiangyang County in the north of Yizhou and most of Qianwei County are also under the control of the Yizhou rebels. The war will not end so soon. We will do our best.

,Help Mr. Xiaowei to make great achievements!"

Everyone said in unison: "We will do our best to help the captain make great achievements!"

Yuan Shao's face softened slightly and he said: "I was out of control for a moment, please forgive me."

No one even dared to say it.

Yuan Shao said: "What do you have in mind? Come quickly."

The old man said solemnly: "We have been planning for many days, mainly because Yizhou is mountainous and difficult to march, and we have not found a better way. Military Colonel Dian was far away in Hanzhong but he succeeded in the raid. He must have relied on the local forces in Yizhou.

The power of the captain. The reputation of the captain is far greater than that of the captain of the Dian army. You might as well follow the same example and you will get twice the result with half the effort..."

Zhululing, primary equipment center.

Yu Buzhi, Xu Shu, Yi Feng and Wang Ping inspected the equipment made by the blacksmith shop for Wudang Feijun.

When the Wudang Fei Army was first established, its leader was the underage Wang Ping. However, from the first day when this army was founded, the lords' expectations for the Wudang Fei Army were so high that no one dared to neglect it. Wu Dang Fei Army

The finalization of military equipment was a major event, and the presence of the lord, deputy city lord, commander of the army, and the general in charge was enough to show that the territory attached great importance to this matter.

Prior to this, similar scenes had only occurred during the renovation of Baimai equipment.

The person who explains it to everyone is the young but talented Apu.

Showing off his equipment in front of the lord and others again, Apu still seemed a little shy, but he was much more calm than last time.

"Based on the basic equipment requirements of the Wudang Flying Army, we have prepared the following equipment for them."

"In terms of defense, General Wang Ping hopes that his soldiers can get more protection. We recommend using the fish-scale armor currently equipped by Baizhen. It is made up of a large number of small iron pieces woven in the shape of fish scales, which can effectively transmit the energy transmitted when attacked by the enemy.

Strength, thereby reducing the damage to the attacked part."

"After Baijie completely changed into fish-scale armor, he participated in the battle to welcome the prefect of Zhao. Baijie's losses were minimal, and the feedback from the fish-scale armor was that the protective effect was good."

Xu Shu nodded and said: "Yes, Uncle Zhi is very satisfied with the fish scale armor."

A Pu smiled awkwardly, then quickly put away his smile, and said seriously: "But there is still a problem with this armor: weight. Although it is 10% lighter than ordinary one-piece armor, the total weight of the armor is still not light, and the fish-scale armor still weighs a lot for the white soldiers.

They can fight normally, but not all troops can withstand the weight of the fish-scale armor. The Wudang Flying Army is all composed of barbarians. The barbarians are generally not as powerful as the Baiji generals, and they must be able to maneuver at high speeds in mountainous areas. Wearing the fish-scale armor can

unaffordable……"

Everyone looked at Wang Ping.

The fish-scale armor is a standard equipment made by white iron, and its defensive effect is trustworthy. But Apu is right. Although the Yizhou Yi people are good at fighting, they are generally not tall. When Wang Ping selects recruits, he does not pay attention to height and physique like Chen Dao.

The requirements are so strict. The average height of Wudang Feijun is obviously shorter than that of Baili soldiers. In addition, mountain marching consumes more physical strength, so Apu will be a little worried.

No matter how high the defense capability is, if the combat effectiveness of the troops is affected due to excessive weight after being equipped, it will not be worth the gain.

"Okay." Wang Ping said solemnly.

Yi Feng was a little worried and asked, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"

Wang Ping nodded: "I tried it at Brother Shu Zhi's place, and it was no problem."

Xu Shu was silent and Yi Feng looked at Yu Wuzhi with some worry.

Yu Buzhi smiled and said: "Since Wang Ping said yes, then Wudang Feijun's armor will be decided."

Among all the people present, Yu Buzhi was the one who had the most confidence in Wudang Feijun.

What A Pu and Yi Feng were worried about was whether Wu Dang was that elite. But Yu Bu Zhi knew that Wu Dang could not leave such a great reputation in history by chance. Moreover, although Wang Ping was still

He is relatively young, but he has a composure far beyond his actual age. If he is not sure, he will never say such a thing.

The general expressed his approval, and the lord made the final decision, and the armor selection was finalized.

"Besides armor, the other main piece of armor is a shield."

"We originally planned to design a brand new shield. General Wang Ping said it was not necessary. The Feijun recruits are all barbarians and like to use traditional regiment cards. The sudden change made everyone uncomfortable, so we did not design a new shield on the shield.

Spend time."

To explain, Wudang Feijun is very strict in recruiting soldiers, but compared with Baijie soldiers, it is easier. Yu Buzhi is willing to see if he can create an army purely composed of Shi people in the future when conditions are ripe, even if the Qinggu tribe

They became a vassal force of the Zhulu Territory, and the number of people in the territory was only a few hundred. Yu Buzhi asked Wang Ping not to recruit as much as possible.

The barbarians use wooden pallets, but other barbarians mostly use tuanpai.

"The only armor is fish scale armor. Next, I will introduce the weapons."

Apu picked up a small iron tool from the table. It had four sharp claws. The angles of the claws were obviously carefully designed and distributed regularly in all directions. Each included angle was about 130 degrees. Apu casually moved the small iron tool to the ground.

Throw it, three pointed claws support the ground, and the last pointed claw stands straight upward, pointing angrily at the sky like a thorn in the ground.

"This is a horse nail, some people call it iron caltrops."

"Horse nails are hidden weapons prepared for unworthy flying troops. They are scattered on the battlefield or on some dangerous roads. They can stab the enemy's horses and soldiers. They can not only disrupt the enemy's formation, but also block the enemy and blockade them.

It is very useful in defensive battles. In addition, when our troops need to move or retreat, we can also scatter horse nails to prevent the enemy from pursuing them immediately."

"The arrangement of the horse nails is very convenient. No matter how you throw it, there will be one sharp claw standing straight up when it is settled. Even if the enemy knocks down the upper sharp claw, the lower sharp claw will stand up again."

Xu Shu walked over and squatted down to pick the horse nail. As A Pu said, when the sharp claw on the top was pulled, no matter which direction he moved, there would always be a sharp claw standing up from the bottom.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it.

Yu Buzhi also walked over, picked up the horse nail from the ground, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The horse nail used for display has a tip length of about 3 centimeters and a weight of only 15-20 grams. It is more conspicuous when thrown on the flat ground, but if it is placed on grass or in the woods, it is difficult to be detected by the enemy.

device.

Yu Buzhi turned to Apu and asked: "How to carry horse nails and how many can one soldier carry?"

Apu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the city lord, this kind of horse nail needs to be stored in a bamboo frame. It is not very convenient for a single soldier to carry it. However, we can also make the tip into a tapered shape. In that case, it can be carried in a leather bag."

"Horse tacks are either big or small. The one you are holding is a large horse tack. In order not to affect the battle, I think it can be compared with the size of the water bag. One skin bag can hold six or seventy horse tacks. One soldier

There should be no problem hanging two bags around the waist. If you use small horse tacks, the tip length is only half of the large horse tacks. One bag can hold two hundred tapered horse tacks more than enough. However, if it is a triangular cone tip

, it is best to use a bamboo frame or other hard container to prevent our soldiers from being accidentally injured by the tip of the awl."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled, obviously very satisfied with the nails.

Xu Shu said: "Horse tacks come in different sizes and pointed shapes. I think the flying army needs to carefully consider what kind of horse tack is most suitable to deal with different terrains and enemies, and then decide the type of horse tack to carry. Of course.

, the flying army officers and soldiers can carry some of each, and use whichever is more convenient, but you need to spend more thought on the quantity and matching of different types."

Wang Ping clasped his fists: "No!"

Apu gently put the horse tack back on the table and said, "My lords, this is all we have today, nothing else."

Yi Feng was stunned and frowned: "Is there nothing else?"

Apu looked ashamed and said: "Yes. There is no need to change the armor and shield. All that needs to be determined is which armor to use."

"In terms of weapons, General Wang Ping does not intend to use standard melee weapons uniformly like Bai Zhen. Instead, he will let everyone choose their favorite weapons from the arsenal and then train and coordinate tactics. We have received reports from the Wudang Feijun.

After the required quantities of various ordnance are carefully crafted, even if there are special requirements, the modifications will not be too large."
