Because of Lintao Jun Wei Ji's sincerity, Feng Su, the general of Chenggao's first battalion, gradually changed his view of the former.
They came to an open area in the pass and ordered several Longxi Wei soldiers to carry a repeating crossbow over.
In fact, Lintao Lord Wei Ji had already noticed these repeating crossbows when he took over Chenggao Pass, but the embarrassing thing is that they did not know how to operate such repeating crossbows.
Although they also asked the soldiers of the Chenggao Army, it was foreseeable that the soldiers of the Chenggao Army hated the Wei soldiers in Longxi so much that they could not teach them.
However, today, General Feng Su of the first battalion of the Chenggao Army issued an order, and the soldiers of the Chenggao Army had no choice but to obey the order even if they were unwilling to do so.
The target was a wooden stake, and the wooden stake was covered with armor that only the generals of the Wei army in Longxi were qualified to wear.
Before being put on the wooden stake, Feng Su weighed the armor with his hands, and then knocked it with his hands. There was a bit of surprise in his eyes, but mostly he was indifferent.
Surprisingly, Feng Su felt that the quality of this bronze armor was pretty good. However, nowadays, the military armor of the Wei army has long abandoned bronze, and generally uses iron mixed with other metals, or other armors.
It was called by a certain King Su. Note: The reason why steel is not mentioned directly here is because Zhao Hongrun felt that the iron-carbon alloy smelted and forged in Wei State was not yet high enough to be called "steel".
"Watch it."
After saying something to Lintao Lord Wei Ji, Feng Su personally went into battle to operate the repeating crossbow, aimed at the target in the distance, and pulled the trigger.
There were only two whooshing sounds, and then there was another loud bang. Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, was shocked to see that the wooden target in the distance was not only blown away by the volley, but was actually shot up in mid-air.
As for the bronze armor set on the wooden stake, it was unable to stop the powerful crossbow bolts and turned into large and small fragments all over the ground with a bang.
Lintao Lord Wei Ji did not tell Feng Su that the armor actually belonged to him.
Yes, the armor of Wei Ji, the majestic ruler of Lintao, was as fragile as tissue paper in front of the Liannu of the Zhao clan and Wei State, and could be torn to pieces easily.
When he walked in front of the wooden stake, Lintao Lord Wei Ji's expression was very exciting, because the wooden stake was penetrated by three powerful crossbow arrows and was actually shot into several sections.
If a person wears armor as a target...
Wei Ji, Lord of Lintao, could not imagine it.
He quickly returned to Feng Su, stroking the repeating crossbow with a look of wonder on his face.
Although he had already guessed that if they were not extremely powerful weapons, these repeating crossbows would never be installed at Chenggao Pass, but even so, he still could not imagine that the power of these repeating crossbows was so huge.
Lintao Lord Wei Ji showed a look of joy on his face and murmured: "If there are many such sharp weapons, even if they encounter Qin someday, it will be no problem..."
"Iron Eagle? Tattooed face? What is that?" Feng Su asked in confusion after hearing this.
Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, heard this and explained: "Qin was born in the Qinling Mountains and regarded the fierce eagle as auspicious. The iron eagle is a very, very terrible army of the Qin State...Has General Feng Su heard of it?"
"Wei Wuzu?" Feng Su's expression was a little strange, and he thought to himself: I, the great Wei Dynasty, opened up the territory of the Central Plains, Wei Wuzu, how could I not know about it?
Suddenly, he was stunned and realized an overlooked fact: military soldiers were not unique to the Zhao family and Wei people.
As if he had read through Feng Su's thoughts, Lintao Lord Wei Ji nodded and said: "Your King Yi, Zhao Yuanli, once visited Longxi, and I once heard him tell the story of the Wei people of the Zhao family who fought in the Central Plains... Not bad.
, the warriors you call them were actually created by me, the Wei family in Longxi, and the Zhao family just took away part of them..."
General Feng Su glanced at Lintao Lord Wei Ji suspiciously and asked, "Does Wei Wuzu have anything to do with that Iron Eagle?"
"Ha." Lintao Lord Wei Ji smiled when he heard this and said, "Iron Eagle is the army built by the Qin State in imitation of my Wei family in Longxi. Does General Feng Su think this is a connection?"
Feng Su opened his eyes wide in surprise. After all, in his mind, Wei Wuzu was the legendary elite army of the Wei State. Hundreds of years after the founding of the Wei State, no army could replace Wei Wuzu's position. However, in the Qin Dynasty,
The country actually has an army that can match the soldiers of Wei?
"General Feng Su, don't worry. Whether they are soldiers or iron eagles, each of these warriors can be as good as ten. After being screened at all levels, after training, there are not many left..." At this point, he looked at
He glanced at Feng Su and said with a strange expression: "In Longxi, when there were the most military soldiers, there were only 1,400 people... Therefore, I never figured out where the Zhao family could get nearly 10,000 military soldiers. It is said that
It was also destroyed by South Korea in the north..."
His expression was clearly complaining, blaming the Wei people of the Zhao family for not always implementing the strict selection of Wei soldiers, so that they were annihilated by the Korean army and ruined the reputation of Wei soldiers in vain.
"What about Qin's Iron Eagle?" Feng Su blinked, as if to say: That happened to me, Wei Dynasty, decades ago, what's the use of telling me this?
"The difference won't be too big." Lintao Lord Wei Ji shook his head, and then said seriously: "Iron Eagles are all fierce men, but with these serial crossbows here, haha... right now, I care more."
"Tattooed faces...are the prisoners who have tattoos on their faces, right?" Feng Su asked in confusion.
Lintao Lord Wei Ji nodded, shook his head, and then said: "That's right, but those people are not criminals, but untouchables." As he said, he saw Feng Su frowning, so he explained: "
I have no other meaning... Untouchables is the name of Longxi and Qin. In the past, after we in Longxi and Qin conquered other clans, we would tattoo the faces of those who lost the battle to prevent them from escaping...
...More than ten years ago, the Qin State changed its national law and allowed untouchables to obtain titles. Therefore, a large number of untouchables set foot on the battlefield. Most of these people were not trained, but they were very brave. In order to get rid of their status as untouchables, they fought fiercely on the battlefield.
Not afraid of death. These people are not the main force of the Qin army on the battlefield. They don't even have army numbers. However, they have caused huge casualties to our Wei army in Longxi again and again. We call these people."
"Tattooed Army..." Feng Su muttered softly, because he could see from the expression of Lintao Lord Wei Ji that this Lord of the Wei family in Longxi was really extremely afraid of that "special" army.
At this time, Lintao Lord Wei Ji suddenly found a line of inscriptions on the base of the Liannu, and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
Feng Su glanced at it and explained: "The manufacturing number of the Smelting Bureau. Any item made by the Smelting Bureau will have a corresponding number. Let me take a look... Well... that's it.
.”
"What do you mean?" Lintao Lord Wei Ji asked puzzledly.
"How do I know this?" Feng Su shrugged and said, "I'm afraid the only people who can understand it are the people from the Smelting Bureau."
"Smelting Bureau?" Wei Ji, Lord of Lintao, patted the Liannu beside him and asked in a low voice: "This is the place where this terrible weapon is made?...Who is in charge of this place? If I want to get some of these
Weapons, who are you looking for?"
"His Royal Highness King Su." Feng Su replied.
"The King Su who made Sanchuan surrender?" Lintao Lord Wei Ji asked in surprise.
Feng Su nodded.
"What kind of person is that?" Lintao Lord Wei Ji asked.
"Well...it's hard to say." Feng Su shrugged and said with a half-smile: "His Royal Highness, King Su, usually has no airs and is very approachable, but the Jiejiao Tribe and the Chu Kingdom definitely don't think so..."
"Why don't the Jiejiao tribe and the Chu state think so?" Lintao Lord Wei Ji asked seriously.
Feng Su opened his mouth but was speechless. Only then did he realize that this Yijun didn't know those things at all, so he couldn't tell the joke in his words.
So, he briefly told the deeds of a certain Su king who conquered the Three Rivers and Chu State twice, and Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, was greatly amazed.
"If Lord Wei Ji wants the Longxi Wei family to coexist harmoniously with me, the Wei Dynasty, His Highness Prince Su's attitude is very important." Feng Su said seriously.
Lintao Lord Wei Ji nodded solemnly.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard in the distance, and then a soldier hurried in, knocked on the ground and reported: "Lord Wei Ji, on the west side of the pass, an unknown army was discovered gathering."
"Huh?" Lintao Lord Wei Ji looked at Feng Su in surprise when he heard this.
Seeing this, Feng Su frowned and categorically denied: "Impossible!... In today's Sanchuan County, there is absolutely no foreign army that dares to attack our Chenggao Pass."
But having said that, when Lintao Lord Wei Ji turned around and headed towards Guan Tower, Feng Su also followed him, wanting to see what was going on.
Lintao Lord Wei Ji did not stop them. After all, they were just outsiders, and Feng Su knew much more about this place than they did.
The two of them hurriedly arrived at the Guan Tower.
Sure enough, in the open field ten miles away, tens of thousands of cavalry were gathering continuously, which made the Longxi Wei soldiers on the Guan Tower quite nervous.
"That's..." Feng Su stood on the city wall with squinted eyes, and then a look of disbelief appeared on his face: "North Sichuan Cavalry?...Are they threatening me at Chenggao Pass? How could..."
With that said, he turned to Lintao Lord Wei Ji and said: "Lord Lintao Lord, please allow my bodyguard to inquire about the truth. The Northern Sichuan Cavalry is a cavalry affiliated with Sichuan Luo. It has already surrendered to the great Wei Dynasty. It will not be without reason.
They gathered under my Chenggao Pass, let alone showed hostility."
Lintao Lord Wei Ji nodded and ordered to meet Feng Su's bodyguards to give instructions on this matter.
Therefore, Feng Su's bodyguards, out of consideration for their general, came out of seclusion to make contact with the northern Sichuan cavalry in the distance.
Not long after, Feng Su's personal guards came back and said with a look of gloating: "General, the Northern Sichuan Cavalry said that the Wei clan in Longxi has occupied the city of our great Wei Dynasty, robbed the civilians, and acted tyrannically. Therefore, His Highness King Su has been
A few days ago, the Wei clan in Longxi was ordered to return Chenggao, Xingyang, Mi County, Wusha, Yanxian, Ancheng and other places. If the time limit is exceeded, the Northern Sichuan Cavalry will be ordered to join several other armies to formally attack the Wei clan in Longxi and regain all the lands.
!”
After hearing these words, Lintao Lord Wei Ji and Feng Su looked at each other.
"What day is today?" Lintao Lord Wei Ji asked Feng Su.
Feng Su opened his mouth and murmured: "On the 15th..."
Lintao Lord Wei Ji's face changed slightly when he heard this, grabbed Feng Su's arm, and said urgently: "Let's go!"
