The news of the Turks sending troops made Qin Huaidao smell some conspiracy.
There is no reason for the Turks to have such a powerful weapon as the repeated crossbow, unless someone provides drawings or samples to imitate it. Is it provided by the Qiemo Kingdom? Or is it a "gift" from Tubo to let the Turks send troops?
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao was shocked. He hurriedly found the latest battle report and found that Tubo did not use repeated crossbows. Not only did he feel uneasy, but an unpleasant emotion came into his heart. With Lu Dongzan's intelligence network and ability, there was no reason.
I didn’t know the existence of such a powerful weapon as the Liannu. Once he became the king of Tubo, there was no reason not to imitate it.
There is only one possibility: Tubo is hiding its clumsiness and waiting for an opportunity.
Qin Huaidao quickly pulled out the map of Longyou Road and thought about the opportunity Lu Dongzan was waiting for. Did he want to kill the imperial reinforcements in one fell swoop? Or did he want to give himself a thrill?
The more he thought about it, the more Qin Huaidao felt something was wrong, and the more he felt uneasy.
The Turks are moving in force to destroy the country. Hanzhou may not be able to stop it. They must rush over as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. However, Lian Nu has to guard against it. Qin Huaidao's heart moved and he quickly picked up a pen to draw a shield pattern and marked the dimensions.
It is two meters high and one meter wide. There are observation holes and shooting holes in the middle. The crossbow can shoot directly. With this shield, the life of the person behind it will be safe.
In order to ensure defense, Qin Huaidao used standard steel to build it, but the steel was too heavy for such a large shield to resist. After thinking about it, I made a note that it doesn’t need to be too thick, and it should be covered with wooden boards. The specific thickness and size should be checked with a repeating crossbow. It is enough if it does not penetrate.
.
The next moment, Qin Huaidao rushed out of the study and handed the drawings to Luo Wu who was guarding the door: "Immediately arrange for a reliable person to send the drawings to Chashan, let Chashan build it overnight, and make a thousand pairs in eight days. Tell Luo Ying about the mines and grenades."
Continue to make the crossbow arrows, the more the better, there must be no mistakes."
We are leaving in eight days and can’t wait.
Luo Wu sensed Qin Huaidao's attention and quickly agreed and hurried away.
Qin Huaidao knew that it was useless to rush, so he might as well produce a few more cannonballs and get into the workshop.
Three days later, Luo Zhang and Li Xueyan's sister got married. They were about to go on an expedition. They didn't know the date of their return, so it was not a problem to continue delaying it. Fortunately, Li Daozong was not angry and did not ask for a big event. He only invited the prime minister on the grounds that the court was defending against foreign enemies and it was not appropriate to hold a grand celebration.
Familiar relatives and friends gather together to have a meal and finish the meal.
Li Er did not stop him, nor did he come to congratulate him, but he sent someone to deliver a gift.
Qinjiazhuang, which had been noisy for a day, has once again returned to calm, but there is an undercurrent. All preparations before leaving are in full swing, especially personnel. There are thousands of people in Qinjiazhuang and Zhaojiazhuang, both young and old. It is impossible for everyone to follow. Who will stay?
Next, leave us to make arrangements. Qin Huaidao needs to decide how the industrial city continues to operate.
What's more, there are wars all over the border. Taking the young and old along with you is courting death. You can only keep it simple and talk about it later.
Time passed quietly in various preparations.
Finally the day came to set off.
On this day, it was not yet dawn, but the Qin Family Village had torches soaring into the sky, illuminating the surrounding area as bright as day. Countless people walked out of their homes, bowed to their children who were about to leave, said a few words, or came up to help organize the carriage, their eyes full of dissatisfaction.
There is also hope for the future.
There were also carriages parked at the entrance to the courtyard on the top of the mountain in Qinjiazhuang, all covered with thick curtains. No one knew what was inside. The Guards were on guard and no one was allowed to get close to the carriages.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao walked out of the door, followed by He'er and Li Xueyan, each holding their own children, and boarded a carriage that had been waiting for them.
Luo Wu brought in a bloody horse and a white-hoofed crow.
Bai Ti Crow snorted excitedly when he saw Qin Huaidao, as if in greeting. Qin Huaidao stroked Bai Ti Crow's forehead and chuckled: "Old man, we are going to the battlefield again!"
"Xilulu!"
The white-hooked crow screamed happily, full of expectation.
"You guys are more belligerent than me." Qin Huaidao cursed angrily and looked at Luo Wu.
Luo Wu knowingly asked someone to bring him a pair of maces. The two maces were wrapped in a leather suit and fixed on Qin Huaidao's back. He then put on a windbreaker to cover the two maces.
Qin Huaidao got on his horse, holding the reins in hand, and turned to look at the yard where he had lived for a while, and then at the waiting crowd at the foot of the mountain. With a shake of the reins, Bai Ti Wu walked forward knowingly.
The large army followed silently, no one made a noise, no one flinched.
An invisible force surges in everyone's hearts, which is the desire for the future!
He was saying goodbye to his family and followed him, driving a carriage, carrying luggage, and holding a torch. No one spoke, and he followed silently. Even the men, women, and children who saw him off also followed silently. No one cried or shouted.
Two years ago, everyone believed in Qin Huaidao, and Qinjiazhuang became what it is today.
Today, everyone still believes in Qin Huaidao without reservation and follows him on his journey without hesitation. Everyone believes that there will be a better tomorrow.
When the large army arrived at the gate of Qinjiazhuang, Qin Huaidao reined in his horse and stopped. He looked back at the people seeing him off. With a heavy heart, he solemnly said: "Go back and guard Qinjiazhuang. As long as I am here, no one can bully you. Qin
The family farm will always be there, I swear on the honor of my late father."
The ancients valued filial piety, and no one would easily swear by the honor of their elders.
Everyone was moved, bowed one after another, bowed solemnly, stood up and said: "Thank you, young master!"
"I will wait patiently for the return of the young master!"
Qin Huaidao returned the gift solemnly, his eyes falling on Zhao Shuwen: "General Manager Zhao, please!"
The Industrial City needed to continue to operate, so Zhao Shuwen was retained and entrusted with the important task of overseeing the affairs of the Industrial City.
"Don't you dare retaliate with death?" Zhao Shuwen returned the greeting solemnly.
Qin Huaidao nodded, pulled the horse's head, shook the reins, and the white-tied crow moved forward knowingly.
The large army followed closely behind them in an orderly manner, and soon formed a long convoy with no end in sight.
There is a red light in the eastern sky, illuminating the deep night sky. It is the dawn of dawn.
The cold wind blew slowly, but it couldn't take away everyone's fiery hearts.
Qin Huaidao glanced at the sun that was about to rise, and felt inexplicably better. He told Luo Wu, "Arrange a battalion of brothers to spread out ten miles to explore the road!"
"Follow the order!" Luo Wu responded with cupped hands and looked towards Wang Hu not far away.
Wang Hu nodded knowingly and shouted: "Brothers from the First Battalion, follow me."
Everyone sped up their horses and rushed forward, gradually moving away and quickly disappearing from sight.
Walking through the vast fields and crossing the Wei River, the sky was getting brighter before I knew it.
On the official road ahead, Luo Ying and his men were looking forward to it. The special forces had been replenished after the special operations group was transformed into a special operations division. The new recruits had been undergoing special training for two months. They were already looking good. They were just short of actual combat. Everyone was separated on both sides, wearing uniform uniforms.
The stand-up collared tunic suit has been privately named Hanwang suit by everyone. It is neat and uniform and has an extraordinary momentum.
Qin Huaidao came up on horseback. Seeing the mighty army waiting for review, he felt happy. He looked at Luo Ying and asked, "How are all the preparations?"
"Everything has been prepared according to uncle's requirements. Tea mountain craftsmen, weapons and other materials have also been moved in, and a hundred carts have been loaded. Only some old people in uncle's house are left to continue taking care of the tea mountain." Luo Ying said quickly.
“Well done!”
Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes fell on Pei Xingjian, who was not far away with his head held high. He hadn't seen him for more than a month, and his temperament had changed drastically. He was less elegant and more sharp, like a soldier. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Xingjian,
How does it feel in January in Chashan?”
"Returning to the King of Han is like being reborn!" Pei Xingjian said solemnly, his eyes full of gratitude.
"That's good. You lack actual combat skills. There have been many dangers along the way. Take advantage of the opportunities." Qin Huaidao warned and looked at Luo Ying again.
Luo Ying said knowingly: "Pei Xingjian has excellent performance in various trainings, and there is no problem in being among the top ten recruits."
It's good to be in the top ten. After all, Pei Xingjian is a wise general, not a fierce general. Qin Huaidao smiled with satisfaction and warned: "Assign three regiments to the rear, one to open the way, and one to escort the supplies. Let's go."
Luo Ying was a little surprised. This was the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Why should we send someone to the rear? Suddenly something occurred to him and he quickly agreed, sending the three most powerful regiments to the rear and commanding them himself.
The large troops continued on their way along the official road.
In the cold spring season, a lot of green grass sprouts on the official road, and new buds sprout on the old trees. Birds are chirping on the branches, chasing and playing, and seeing the large troops coming and flying away, the whole group is happy.
On a hillside not far ahead, Li Jing stood on horseback, sizing up the slowly approaching team. His heart was filled with shock. The neat pace, dignified momentum, and discipline of the prohibitions were even incomparable to the elite of the Forbidden Army.
After leading soldiers all his life, Li Jing asked himself how well he had trained his troops. When he saw this army, he realized that he was a little distracted. He asked Fang Yiai who was accompanying him: "Is the army under the command of the King of Han so powerful?"
Fang Yiai looked at it for a moment and said with a smile: "When we returned from Hanzhou, we only had two thousand troops. The number of people who came here has increased a lot, and they are unfamiliar. I'm afraid they are new soldiers. The training time is only two months."
"Have you been so powerful after two months of training?"
Li Jing was shocked again.
"What's this? Haven't you seen that those two thousand veterans are taking advantage of that kid Luo Ying? If you leave it to me, you can wake up happily." Fang Yiai said with some emotion.
"real?"
Li Jing was shocked and suddenly realized that he did not know enough about Qin Huaidao's abilities.
