Become a feudal king from today

"typical!"

Zhao Xu's drawing is a complete tunnel excavation map. ReadМ

Deep tunnels connect one house to another, criss-crossing each other, and some tunnels even have their mouths in wells.

There are also places to store food and convenience in the tunnels.

It can be said that there is no problem in living there for ten days and a half.

"Beidi is strong in cavalry, so they use tunnels to resolve their advantage. These tunnels can not only hide people, but also hide soldiers." Zhao Xu said, "If Beidi uses scout teams to plunder villages, the people can hide food in the tunnels and use The Secret of the Underground Attacks the Dismounted Cavalry.”

Liu Fu was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a fighting method before.

Zhao Xu continued: "Also, all the people in Beidi are soldiers, and Yan County can also be soldiers. This time, in addition to supervising the digging of tunnels in each village, you must also establish a rural military system in each township, give them weapons, and let them train. When Beidi comes, At this time, the people can be turned into soldiers.

"Wonderful, wonderful." Liu Fu became more and more excited as he listened.

Now that the land is being distributed, most of the people in Yan County are attached to the palace, so there is absolutely no problem in doing so.

Implemented in this way, each village becomes a fortress.

It is no longer a place where Beidi people kill at will.

The next day, noon.

Zhao Xu was drawing armor patterns in his study.

In his mind, there are several types of armor to choose from, such as chain armor, scale armor, Song armor, plate armor, etc.

In the end, he decided to choose scale armor and plate armor based on the different objects the soldiers fought against and the performance of the armor.

Scale armor is a traditional armor from the ancient East. It is named after its shape like fish scales.

The nails with a slightly curved surface are stacked layer by layer and sewn on the inner lining.

The scale armor has good defense against swords, bows and arrows, but the disadvantage is that the coverage rate is low, and the armor pieces are easily attacked and fall off during battle.

Plate armor is a product of the contemporary Western post-cold weapon era.

It is made of large pieces of armor riveted together, with high coverage. It is like putting a person in an iron bucket. It has good defense against swords and bows, but its disadvantages are high cost and cumbersome manufacturing.

Therefore, generally speaking, it is only customized equipment for Western knight masters and cannot be widely equipped for soldiers.

Moreover, plate armor is heavy and is mainly used by heavy cavalry and heavy infantry in the contemporary West.

Currently, Beidi has a large number of light cavalry. If all his cavalry wear this, they may be kited by the Beidi cavalry.

After careful consideration, he decided to produce some scale armor for light cavalry and light infantry, and some plate armor for heavy cavalry and heavy infantry.

In this way, all the advantages of the armor can be brought out.

But because he improved the smelting level of Yan County.

He believed that whether it was plate armor or scale armor, the ones produced by the Yanjun Military Division would definitely beat the other military divisions in Dasong in terms of quality.

Moreover, since he can make large amounts of iron and steel, the cost of plate armor is not very high for him.

The only thing he needs to do is to use water power to build a hydraulic forging hammer along the river, which can be used to hammer large pieces of armor.

After finishing the decomposition drawings of the two types of armor, he was about to ask someone to send them to the Department of War.

At this time Feng'er walked in.

Since she is going to be the housekeeper of the palace, she will be in charge of all the sundry matters in the palace.

However, this little girl is very energetic and can handle it with ease.

"Your Highness, General Chang is awake." Feng'er said with a smile on her pretty face.

She knew that Zhao Xu would be happy to hear the news.

"Really?" Zhao Xu stood up, "Let's go and have a look."

Feng'er nodded and accompanied Zhao Xu to Chang Wei's yard. On the way, he said in amazement: "Your Highness, you are so powerful. You only used a bunch of garlic to save General Chang. Hu Langzhong called him the magic medicine. Please give him some, Your Highness.”

Zhao Xu was slightly proud.

Chang Wei improved within one day and one night, which is enough to prove that Chang Wei's physical condition plus the natural antibiotics are effective.

In this way, he not only saved Chang Wei, but also created Dasong's version of antibiotics.

And this is awesome.

In future battlefields, the number of soldiers dying from wound infections will be greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that even if others know that it is made of garlic, they cannot produce it.

Because each process has its own requirements, for example, garlic needs to be allowed to stand after being crushed. If this process is not done well, the effect will be greatly reduced.

What's more, only he can produce high-quality liquor.

Arriving at Chang Wei's yard.

Zhao Xu entered the room, and Chang Wei sat up and leaned on the bed.

Seeing Zhao Xu, he struggled to stand up and salute.

Zhao Xu directly pressed him on the bed and said with a smile: "Your injury has not healed yet, so you don't have to worry about these red tapes."

When Chang Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly became moist, and he said sadly: "Your Highness, the general is incompetent. He is unable to save the people and has lost his troops. He deserves death."

"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. You don't have to blame yourself. If I were the king, I wouldn't necessarily do better than you." Zhao Xu comforted.

It was Chang Wei's first battle with Beidi, and the cavalry he brought with him was pieced together. It was good to be able to come back alive.

Chang Wei still blamed himself and sighed, "Your Highness, I don't know how many troops will be sent for this Autumn Hunting in Beidi. From what I have seen, Your Highness is extremely dangerous in Yan County. It is better to hide in another county and let the general stay with Beidi." Fight to the death.”

"I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and Yan County is my fiefdom. There is no reason to abandon his people and run away. Don't mention this again." Zhao Xu scolded, "You also cheer up, you are going to die. , also died on the battlefield with me.”

Chang Wei looked at Zhao Xu blankly as if he had been given a slap in the face.

Previously, he only admired Zhao Xu for his diligence and love for the people.

Looking back now, King Yan is also an iron-blooded man.

I feel more and more in my heart that King Yan is a rare sage.

He nodded, "The general's life was saved by His Highness. From now on, it belongs to His Highness. When Beidi comes again, the general will risk his life to protect His Highness and Yan County."

Zhao Xu laughed, "That's pretty much it. Just rest and recuperate now. When you get better, will I show you something?"

"What?" Chang Wei was curious.

Zhao Xu showed the drawing in front of Chang Wei, "This is it."
