Chapter 358

The crossbow taken out by Zhang Zhou has greatly changed the cognition of these Rangers about crossbows, especially the characteristics of continuous firing.

Although these hundred people stayed, they were more obedient, which did not mean that they were willing to accept this "boring" training. The appearance of the crossbow made a fundamental change in their ideas and attitudes, and their training enthusiasm suddenly rose to several levels.

Because of the iron reserves in the army and the level and ability of the craftsmen, Zhang Zhou worked hard for more than ten days to build more than ten light crossbows. According to Zhang Zhou's calculation, the number that may be completed in the end is about 50, so it is impossible to achieve full staffing. Therefore, Zhang Zhou adopted an assessment mechanism and took shooting moving targets ten feet away as the assessment condition, Decide who to use.

Who doesn't want to be the first lucky people to use crossbows in the Tang Dynasty? There is no need to urge them to compete in training.

Zhang Zhou was also very satisfied with the observation. He left several of the Hun's squire to guide him, and he walked out of the heavily guarded school yard, and was prepared to continue to take chances. When he looked for a pair of horses, he saw that the parasol and the black cloud beast were waiting there.

The Wutong Wutong saw Wutong, and subconsciously reached the head, and looked at Wutong, and finally walked around alone. He did not forget to look back to the parasol tree. Perhaps he hoped that a miracle would appear. The parasol tree would leave it, but the parasol tree would not take care of it.

Zhang Zhou saw that it was "swaying" and was angry. He wanted to refuse, but Wutong's eyes made him unpatient.

When the black cloud beast came to Zhang Zhou, he seemed to feel Zhang Zhou's dissatisfaction. He didn't have any superfluous actions. He stood there lazily and lowered his head.

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but mutter an angry rebuke.

"Stand up for me!"

Zhang Zhou's angry voice and his anger frightened the dark clouds. Then it was remembered that at the moment, it was his own critical moment. If he dared not take this guy in mind, Wutong would never defend himself again, and this man would have done his best and stewed himself.

Thinking of being torn apart, the dark cloud beast couldn't help but straighten his attitude and stand straight with a pen tube.

Zhang Zhou made the black cloud beast cry and laugh, but he also understood that this beast was definitely unusual. Fortunately, there was a parrot in front of him to support his knowledge. Otherwise, he would really recognize the black cloud beast as a divine thing.

Knowing that he could never give this guy a good face, he said coldly, "this is the last chance, okay? If you dare to provoke me again, I promise you won't even have a chance to regret and admit your mistake!"

The black cloud beast turned round again to look at Wutong, and then looked at Zhang Zhou. Then he answered his voice and nodded his head.

……

There was a Ranger going out of the pass as usual, but unlike in the past, there were onlookers standing at the head of the city and under the gate.

Almost all the high-level military generals in the city gathered here, and they were persuading the leader of the team.

"General, the situation outside the pass is dangerous. You can't try it with your own life!"

"Yes, general! Beiyan has obviously stepped up patrolling the border these days. In case of being entangled and a mistake, what should we do..."

These people gathered around Zhang Zhou and begged so hard that they almost forced Zhang Zhou off his horse!

This mysterious and jingling drum of the boat God has been playing for more than 20 days. I don't know what changes have been made. Today I have to personally lead this one hundred people's Ranger out of the customs. Isn't this a joke?

In case of any accident, they will never have good fruit to eat! The crime of involvement is certain, and direct dismissal is light!

"OK, I promise you, I will come back safely!"

But these people refused to agree, and promised that if it was useful, everyone would simply rush out and directly step on Beiyan!

Yin Dongshan and Zhonghe know more or less the inside story, but they don't know the bottom in their heart. They thought Zhang Zhou was angry with Xu Sheng.

"General, you are a general guarding the pass. How can a general guarding the pass go out for inspection? Don't be impulsive!"

"I'm very sober. I'll go back this time. It won't take too long. Why are you so nervous?"

The only brigade commander who didn't speak was Xiang Li. He didn't say anything, but he had said all the good words, but in the end, it was useless and he got a scolding.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhou ran out of patience and finally got angry. "Unknowingly" began to scold: "Whoever dares to stop me today will be punished for disobeying the military order! For fear of my accident, go back and burn more incense to protect my safe return. Don't waste time here with my mother-in-law!"

As long as the other party doesn't have top experts, Zhang Zhou is confident that he can run back barefoot. Naturally, he is fearless, but these people don't know the details! Even if Zhang Zhou turned his face, he still refused to give way.

Xu Sheng was kicked by Xiang Li in the back, so he had to lean forward.

"General, humble position, admit defeat..."

Zhang Zhou is in an irritable mood entangled by these people. How can he give Xu Sheng a good face?

"Xu Sheng, don't be so reluctant. To tell you the truth, you're not qualified to bet with me. My exit today has nothing to do with the gambling appointment, but the big husband's words are irretrievable. By the way, it's impossible to let you proud soldiers know one thing. It's impossible to ignore anyone! Now, I just hope you don't be a deserter at that time!"

Xu Sheng is not a high-ranking official, but he also has a name and a surname in jubeiguan. Today, he is choked by Zhang Zhou's words in front of the whole people in jubeiguan. He blushes and has a thick neck.

"Humble position, humble position will not lose!"

He answered so stubbornly that he almost killed Xiang Li behind him. If they hadn't been in love for more than ten years, they would have thought of splitting him with a knife.

"If I lose, I will never break my promise!"

Just when neither side wanted to give in, someone spoke again.

"Well, don't stop him! Let him go early and return early!" Yan Xinxin said with an unhappy face.

Her unhappiness was not directed at others, but to Zhang Zhou, because Zhang Zhou said nothing and took her.

"See, all the women in my family are talking. What else do you have to worry about? Are you not as brave as my daughter-in-law?" Zhang Zhou said hurriedly by borrowing a chicken to lay eggs.

Although Yan Xinxin is a bodyguard, who can say clearly what is the relationship between Yan Xinxin and Zhang Zhou? Today, Zhang Zhou publicly admitted that the other party is his daughter-in-law. His wife is not afraid of being widowed in the future. What else can they say? Can't you stand it better than a woman?

Yan Xinxin asked him to say that she was his woman in full view of the public. She couldn't help being a little shy and resentful. She couldn't control how others positioned her identity, but she hadn't opened her mouth to admit it? I couldn't help thinking that when I fainted that day, I didn't know whether this guy was really such a gentleman as he said. He didn't peek at it at all. The more he thought about it, the more he blushed.

"I want to go, go quickly. I won't leave you dinner when I come back late!"

The Wutong escaped from the scene.

"All right now! If you delay a little longer, the general will come back hungry! I'm hungry, and none of you can run away. You'll starve with me, at least for ten days and a half months!"

When others don't know the details, no one dares not to submit to this guy's ability to endure hunger and cold despite Beiguan.

People have no choice but to let go in the end, but the vast majority of people do not feel how brave the Lord will be and dare to take the lead, but feel that this guy is incomprehensible. Some people are quite surprised and happy, and some people are helpless and unreliable!

The general is incompetent and tired. The general's tossing also makes people tired! Forget it, you'd better go back and burn incense!

……

Zhang Zhou is not capricious. First, he has some confidence in himself. Second, he wants to have a correct and intuitive understanding of the Beiyan border army. After all, the encounter in the Hanhai desert is not the main force of Beiyan! Third, he should master how the crossbow will perform in a real riding match! If you don't go to the battlefield, you really can't find the real problem; Impractical, it's hard to avoid talking on paper!

In Xirong, I have seen Huo Xiaoyun's scene of commanding Qianqi to rush to kill, but he has not personally participated in it. It's true. People are excited when they think about it! And the experience in the desert is not enjoyable! Now I have a unique skill. It's really a pity that I didn't experience it personally when I came to jubeiguan again.

Another point, he has not told anyone, nor can he say, is that after the evil Qi enters the bone, even if he does not use the magic skill, his bones and flesh will brew a little evil Qi by themselves. The accumulation of evil Qi makes him produce some impulse and need to be released.

He didn't even bring shishiro this time, because those squires didn't understand the real riding battle. After all, the cavalry battle and riding are two concepts. The last encounter in the vast sea has already explained the problem. If the enemy is not at a disadvantage in action and spirit, it is difficult for his Squires to play their due value in the riding battle. He can't let these inexperienced people take risks with him!

……

There should be a vacuum boundary of tens of miles between Longzhou Guancheng and Beiyan defense line. The terrain is not complex. There are many gentle hills one after another. On the whole, the terrain is flat, which is more suitable for cavalry galloping!

The actual person in charge of the 100 person ride is a school captain named Linqu. He also takes the responsibility of a tour guide and is responsible for explaining the whole process of Zhang Zhou!

According to Linqu's words, as far as the terrain is concerned, if there is a large army mobilization, it must be visible from a distance. What else need to be inspected? The purpose of the Ranger is to train the courage of the Ranger. The second is that it is easy to be surrounded by the enemy because the position of Beiguan is too prominent. Therefore, we can only know the movements of the enemy earlier by means of patrol, so as to buy more preparation time for Chengguan.

After walking for more than two hours, he entered the hinterland of the border area. Linqu pointed to Zhang Zhou and said, "general, do you see the forest in front of you? That's where you encounter the most barbarians with Beiyan!"

Zhang Zhou then looked at the forest. The area he saw was very large. The heavy snow outside the pass had not yet melted, and there was a new snow blanket. The forest was hidden in a piece of snow. He couldn't see anything special.

"Can you meet the enemy today?"

Zhang Zhou doesn't want to return without success, but the rangers with new equipment behind him have the same idea. They are eager to meet the enemy early, hunt a few heads and exchange money when they go back! A head of twenty Liang silver is definitely cashed on the spot. If you can win five heads, you will be promoted to one level! This is the place where "although rangers are dangerous, they are envied by others"!

"Don't worry, general! I asked when I came out. We avoided fighting these days. Those Beiyan barbarians thought we were afraid and increased the intensity and frequency of patrolling. They didn't meet face to face every day. In my experience, the forest was so quiet that there must be an ambush. If we sent someone to go around the forest, we would be able to lead out the sundries! It's right to get some heads You can't run! "

Linqu has rich experience and confidence in this, and her eyes shining towards the forest, as if there were a big girl in the forest.

"Ha ha! If you can't meet the enemy, I'm sorry for your eyes!" Zhang Zhou, who looked at Lin Qu's expression in his eyes, joked.

"Hey, hey, this general can't laugh at me. Most of my brothers are poor and have no other skills. They can only seize this opportunity to seek wealth and honor! I'm not afraid of the general's anger. The generals have the ideas of the generals. We soldiers have our own purposes. If it wasn't for what you said that day, we still bear the great righteousness of the country. I've always been Think you're like a bandit! "

Zhang Zhou smiled at Lin Qu, who was only in his thirties, and asked, "do you have children?"

Lin Qu shook his head!

"I didn't start a family! In the first few years, I wanted to save some money, retire from the army and get a daughter-in-law to live a safe life. Later, my brothers died here, and my mind was light. Now I'm very good, free and carefree. If I have money, I'll go to Longzhou to be happy. It's worth my life..."

Zhang Zhoumo kept silent and continued to listen to Lin Qu's nagging narration. In this world, the desires and happiness of the people at the bottom are so simple and clear. What a 'lifetime worth', free and easy to envy!

Lin Qu felt that Zhang Zhou was not difficult to get along with through contact these days. Seeing that Zhang Zhou was in a good mood, he carefully said: "general, our border troops are all rough people with simple ideas. Xu Sheng is a man with a twisted temper, but he is not bad..."

Zhang Zhou smiled.

"Going to plead for him?"

"I don't dare to be humble. This guy really doesn't clean up. The general wants to punish him. I absolutely support it! But now I'm free, so I want to talk to the general more. The general must not be angry!"

"Don't worry! I'm not so careful. When I get out of the pass, you and I are brothers in life and death. You don't need to be so careful when you say a few words! It seems that you have a good relationship with him?"

In the big guy's eyes, Xu Sheng has completely offended Zhang Zhou. If it weren't for his life-long friendship, no one would come out to beg for this boring. Linqu should have summoned up a lot of courage to put it forward.

"To tell you the truth, he brought me out alone, and he saved my life twice!"

"If I asked you to give all the credit today and let him go unpunished, would you?"

"Of course!"

"What if credit can promote you to a higher level?"

"That's also willing! I'm willing to change my life, not to mention the official position!"

"Well, you value friendship, despise life and death, and know how to repay kindness. Your feelings are enviable! Then show yourself today and give me a credit in exchange!"
