I’m The King

Latrobe stood up, walked to the curtain of the big tent, and looked at the dozens of carriages parked on the open space in front of them, all of which were loaded with what he needed. Turning his head, he watched as he was enjoying the milk tea. Huo Zhu, who was confident, knew that he couldn't refuse.

Who is behind Huo Zhu? Latobe knew that he was the top figure of Dayan. How could such a person care about the life and death of the people in a county above the border? He was just a little strange, with Huo Zhu Why is it necessary for the energy of the person behind to be so troublesome? Maybe a letter can solve these few people, but he can't do it, and if he wants to borrow his own knife, then it can only explain these few people. There is also a powerful force behind it, thinking of the situation in Liaoxi County, the answer is self-evident.

　　 "I want to know, after I do this, Zhang Shou will not trouble me on dating?" Latrobe walked to Huo Zhu's and leaned forward and asked.

"Patriarch, if you succeed in killing them all and destroying Fufeng City, then I can assure you that Zhang Shouyue will never trouble you, but if you don’t kill them and you leave behind troubles If you do, Zhang Shouyue might really trouble you!" Huo Zhu smiled.

　　 La Trobe was stunned, "What is the truth, I don't understand!"

Huo Zhu stood up and walked a few steps in the big tent." You might as well give the patriarch a little bit. These people are related to Zhang Shouyue’s large fortune, because these people, Zhang Shouyue has a great deal of wealth. It may cause problems in the business between us and King Donghu in the future, and even no longer allow any inflow of materials, but if these people die, Zhang Shouyue will instead rely on us to share his share to maintain his army. If I say this, does the patriarch understand? Therefore, even if the patriarch does not make a move, I believe that King Donghu will definitely make a move."

　　 La Trobe is also a person who has experienced the sea, Huo Zhu said that he already knew it.

　　 "Okay, I did this. Mr. Huo, I don't want your other rewards, but after taking Fufeng City, everything in the city belongs to me." Latobe said.

Huo Zhu laughed, "The patriarch has a big appetite, ok, no problem, that's it. Fufeng is yours, I only need three heads." He stretched out his hand and shook Latobe firmly together. ,"When can the patriarch take action?"

　　 "Not now!" Latobe said: "Now it is the time for the breeding of livestock. This is a major event related to the livelihood of our tribe, and it should not be taken lightly."

　　 Regarding this point, Huo Zhudou also knew in his heart, "When can the patriarch send troops?"

"I have to wait until mid-April at the earliest!" Latobe calculated the time in his heart, "This is the earliest time I can send troops, Mr. Huo, this is also the fact that our tribe has few livestock, and we have replaced the big East Hu. I'm afraid it won't be possible until May."

"Very well, from mid-April to mid-April. It happens that I have an important meeting with King Donghu this time. It will take a month to come and go. When I come back, it will happen to be you. At the time of starting, the patriarch, without my help, you are afraid that you will not be able to defeat Fufeng City." Huo Zhu smiled.

Compared with last year, the Curie Pass is completely different. The refurbished city wall has been heightened by a full one meter. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the soft soil during the snowy season, Gao Yuan ordered the soldiers to excavate a large number of The mud builds a **** for the city wall. This **** does not require a large amount of work, but it can cause huge troubles to the siege. The ladder cannot be erected unless you first give this **** to the base. Shovel, and the trench formed by excavating the soil is about five meters wide and two meters deep, forming a new barrier to the city wall. Although there is no water, it cannot be called a moat, but it is for the enemy Donghu people outside the Juli Pass. In other words, it is a natural danger.

At the rear of the Juliguan, a new camp has been built, the walls made of rammed earth are covered with thick thatch, and the dense forest in front of the Juliguan is cut down to make a large number of fences, connecting the entire camp with the city wall. , Inside the fence, before the camp, there is a spacious school field, on the flat ground, it is compacted with small gravel, rolled down, and it is not afraid of rain and snow, which can come in handy.

　　 At this moment, on the school field, except for the sentry guarding the city wall, the rest of the three hundred soldiers gathered on the school field and practiced separately.

In the middle, headed by Gao Yuan, more than two hundred people held long knives specially made for them by Gao Yuan in both hands. Down, it was all accompanied by a loud shout.

Step up, slash, side-span, reverse, step up, slash down, lunge, and stab. There are not many movements, and they are all these actions, but with a loud roar, the entire team moves. But it is getting faster and faster, slowly, the center of the entire school field is full of rolling blades.

In a corner of the school field, the infantryman holds the bow in his left hand and buckles the string with his right hand. The bow is like a full moon, and the shining sharp arrow is placed on the bowstring, and it is not drawn. Behind him, there are fifty archers standing in a staggered position, keeping the same as him. Some of the movements are just as solid as a rock, while some are trembling slightly, because their left wrist is tied to a brick with a rope.

The faces of the infantrymen were sweating like rain, but people pierced the ground like a nail. In front of them, blocks of human-shaped targets were nailed to the fence, and all the vital points were painted with black charcoal. Black, clear at a glance.

"Everyone is steady. Your left and right are your comrades-in-arms. If your hands are trembling, if you can't hold the strings, you may accidentally injure your comrades." The infantry shouted loudly. "Only. You are only allowed to shoot your feather arrows when you really can’t persist, but you remember that the first ten people who shoot arrows will practice for an hour, and the first ten people who shoot arrows but don’t hit the key will be practiced again. An hour!"

　　 Accompanied by the sound of shouting in the center of the venue, it was the sweat and rain of fifty archers.

Finally, there was a roar, and an arrow came out of the string, and with a snatch, it was in the middle of the forehead of the target on the fifty-step fence. In the queue, a young soldier had weak legs and knelt on one knee. Panting for breath, looking at the feather arrow that hit the deadly arrow, there was both shame and happiness on his face. It only took an extra hour to practice, and it was a blessing in misfortune.

With the first one, the roar of arrows kept ringing, and one after another feather arrows flew out of the soldiers' hands, some hit the key points of the target, and some shot at other parts, a few arrows The branch missed the target.

Until the feather arrows in the hands of all the soldiers had been shot, the feather arrows in the hands of the infantry flew out with a screaming sound. The color of appreciation, "Yes, I lasted for more than half an hour today, and I met the required rest. If I didn't meet the requirements, I will practice more after half an hour!"

Hearing the words of the infantry soldiers, a group of people smiled, carrying their long bows, walking to the side, carefully unloading the bowstrings. For them, the bowstrings are extremely precious things and it is extremely difficult to add. If you don't keep them well, dare you. When it is soft, the arrow loses its strength.

　　 The other people were resting, but the infantry did not join them.Instead, another turntable was erected on the side of the fence.

The infantry stretched their bows, held their breath, stared at the rotating blades of various colors, and suddenly uttered a low drink, and the feathers turned into a flash of lightning, shot out with a snatching sound, the turntable paused, and the paddle was smashed. The arrow shot was reversed, and everyone could see clearly that the arrow hit the red blade.

　　 "Okay!" The soldiers on the sidelines applauded vigorously.

　　 "Come again!" The infantryman also smiled on his face and shouted.

The turntable turned again, and the infantry started his second round of shooting with full concentration. This was a task assigned to him by Gao Yuan. Now among his ten arrows, there are seven or eight arrows that can accurately hit the target. In this way, the shooting method is accurate. It is not difficult. The difficulty lies in predicting and calculating in advance. Just as Gao Yuan told him, in the chaotic army, if he makes a mistake, he will accidentally injure his comrades. Gao Yuan is already quite satisfied with his immediate results. Gao Yuan believes that even among the Xiongnu and Donghu people, who are famous for their riding and shooting, there are only a handful of archers at the level of the infantry. But the infantry is not satisfied. Out of ten arrows, they can only hit seven or eight. Arrow, the two or three arrows that missed, hurt the comrades in arms, he wanted to be perfect.

　　 In the middle of the school field, Gao Yuan's clothes are soaked, but he is still practicing these seemingly simple movements meticulously.Only simple can be fast, and only fast can kill opponents more effectively.

Gao Yuan knows his weaknesses well, close combat is his strength, but in the cold weapon era, the chaos of the spear and spear is the most common, and his army stabs and short knives can only be effective when they are in close combat. Long-distance fighting is not enough, and he wants to make himself a military commander with no weaknesses. This nearly two-meter-long two-handed knife is his new weapon.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

　　 In the midst of shouting and killing, Cao Tiancheng smiled and appeared at the entrance of the barracks, "Cai Fan Luo, brothers, Kai Fan Luo!"

　　 "Come!" Gao Yuan slashed fiercely and stood up with the knife. Behind him, more than two hundred soldiers moved neatly and uniformly.

"Bath, eat!" Gao Yuan waved, the soldiers turned around, walked to the wall in a line, put the long knives into the scabbard, and then put the long knives neatly against the wall, and then the formation spread out. In the school field, there was finally a sound of laughter and slapstick.

Gao Yuan smiled and walked to the wall, lifted the scabbard, and closed it inward. With a snap, the long knife was put into the bamboo scabbard. The long knife designed by Gao Yuan was too long to be removed from the sheath. Pull out, this kind of bamboo sheath opens on one side, and the long knife is retracted from the side. When it needs to be taken out, the handle of the knife is slightly pulled down, and a small mechanism at the mouth of the sheath is touched. Convenience.

In the lofty room, there is a plate of pickles, a plate of mutton, and a plate of wild vegetables on the small square table. Compared with the soldiers, there are more ordinary wild vegetables, Sun Xiao, Cao Tiancheng, Yan Haibo, Infantry Sitting around the square table with Gao Yuan, gnawing buns and drinking gruel.

"I'm going back to Fufeng City for dinner today!" Gao Yuan tore the lamb, threw it into his mouth, chewed it full of oil, and said vaguely to the four people: "He Lanxiong has been there for the past few days. The news came that the Hutu people had changed. It seems that they are about to do it. I have to go back to Fufeng to report to the county magistrate and the county lieutenant to make preparations for this war. I am not afraid that they will come to fight the Juliguan, I'm afraid that they will bypass the Curie Pass and then go to Fufeng County to rob. The county must make all preparations."

"Bing Cao don't worry, we are here!" Sun Xiao nodded vigorously, "Speaking of which, I really look forward to getting started soon. These turtle grandsons, I can't help but cut off their heads to avenge Cao Cao. ."

　　 "Brother Sun!" Yan Haibo cut off Sun Xiao while looking at Cao Tiancheng with some worry.

　　 Cao Tiancheng's face twitched slightly, but immediately became nonchalant.

"I set off after dinner, and I can rush back to Fufeng City at night. When I am away, Sun Xiao will be responsible for all the affairs of Juliguan. Sun Xiao, remember, the sentry can be farther away, and we must strengthen the relationship with Helan. I will be back tomorrow night at the latest." Gao Yuan said.

　　 "Yes, Bingcao rest assured."
