Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

At this time, the other four people came to kill, Xu Ding swung his sword to block, dodged three steps in a row, and made three swords in a row.

The three men in gray landed silently and slowly.

The last one ran away, Xu Ding swung the sword with his backhand, and the sword flew out like an arrow, it was inserted into the back of the man, and came out from the chest.

Glancing at the messy battlefield, Xu Ding shook his head, moved his body, and ran in the direction of Fucheng like flying. After ten breaths, he slowed down.

"Yueying, you can open your eyes now."

After hearing this, Huang Yueying opened her beautiful eyes, glanced around, and asked, "Brother Xu, where are those bad guys?"

"The bad guy, maybe, maybe, maybe they were called home for dinner by their mother." Xu Ding said mischievously with a slight smile.

"Pfft!" Huang Yue Wenyue couldn't help but pursed her lips into a smile, feeling extremely relaxed.

Although she closed her eyes just now, she knew that it was absolutely dangerous.

The sound of weapons colliding can be heard endlessly, it must be very bloody.

In the end, Xu Ding just explained it lightly when he went home to have dinner, and he was able to tease himself in different ways, which was really humorous and considerate.

Huang Yueying hugged Xu Ding's neck tightly, and said affectionately from behind: "Brother Xu, you are so kind."

Huang Yueying felt that he had the whole world now, and she wanted to hug him tightly.

"Silly girl!"

With Huang Yueying on his back, Xu Ding walked slowly along the road back to the city, leaving shallow footprints behind him, which gradually disappeared under the swirling snowflakes.

Back in Fucheng, he reluctantly sent Huang Yueying home, Xu Ding had someone call Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others over.

"What? My lord, you have been attacked."

The crowd was horrified.

In the border of Donglai, just outside the Fucheng, someone dared to kill Xu Ding blatantly.

Xu Ding beckoned everyone not to be nervous, and said calmly:

"Don't say anything about this, so as not to cause panic and random speculation among the people. Feng Xiao is responsible for investigating this matter. It is not necessary to find out who instigated it, but we must find the insiders who cooperated with this assassination, and return my Donglai to a quiet place. And look up the origin of this Blood Shadow Pavilion."

"It's my lord." Guo Jia said hurriedly.

It may be very difficult to find out who is behind the scenes. After all, all ten assassins are dead.

But it is still possible to find clues and find Donglai's insider according to the map.

In this way, there will be no gain at all, and it does not need to spend too much time and energy.

Of course, according to Xu Ding's tone, the mastermind of this assassination should be someone other than Donglai.

At least a high probability should be.

Xu Ding also thought about it.

Apart from Donglai, he has quite a few enemies. There are Dong Zhuo, the Yuan family, Liu Bei, and the Hedong family. He can't guess who they are, and he doesn't bother to guess.

What is more important than investigating the mastermind behind the scenes is to install the new short crossbow as soon as possible. Xu Ding also mentioned the matter of Huang Yueying's newly improved short crossbow.

Everyone praised this as a good thing.

Only with sharp weapons can you have an advantage when fighting and killing the enemy.

However, it is a matter of burning money to install it, so Mao Jie stood up and said: "My lord, although the short crossbow is good, it is not suitable to be equipped on a large scale at this stage, otherwise it will consume a lot of money and food, and it will be extremely wasteful."

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai also nodded upon hearing this.

The short crossbow is a very good weapon that can be used both offensively and defensively.

But it burns money.

The cost of making the short crossbow itself is high, and what is even more troublesome is that the cost of maintaining the short crossbow and crossbow arrows is too high.

This is also one of the reasons why short crossbows are not equipped too much in the army.

Even if an ordinary aristocratic family uses it to protect the courtyard, there are only a dozen or so at most.

You must know that the crossbow arrows are all made of iron. If they are not used immediately after being forged, they will soon be embroidered. Once they rust, they will be wasted for nothing.

If you don't want to embroider, you need special maintenance, and maintenance also requires money.

And the crossbow machine needs to use a large number of crossbow arrows to maintain its powerful lethality.

So once a short crossbow is equipped, the number of crossbow bolts must be stored in geometric numbers.

This is like the aircraft carrier of later generations. If you buy an aircraft carrier, ordinary countries can afford it, but the daily maintenance of the aircraft carrier is not affordable for ordinary countries.

To use a more realistic example, a car is a must-have for almost every family. It can be said that almost everyone can afford it, but the usual fuel costs, various insurances, and maintenance cost money. Depreciation, looking distressed.

Chapter 166 Installing Short Crossbow Stirrups and Horseshoes

Chapter 166 Listing Short Crossbows, Stirrups, and Horseshoes

Therefore, without the outbreak of a major war, the installation of short crossbows is bound to be unrealistic.

Even though it can be predicted that the world will be more turbulent and wars will gradually increase, Mao Jie still stood up to persuade.

In fact, Xu Ding really planned to arm both cavalrymen.

This is eight thousand short crossbows.

A short crossbow is equipped with at least one hundred crossbow arrows, and the number of crossbow arrows needed by two cavalry alone can be as high as 80 to 100 million.

The cost of a crossbow bolt is about 8 yuan, and a short crossbow starts at 2000 yuan.

A total of 240 million to 800 million will be spent.

This item alone is a huge gold swallowing beast, and this does not include maintenance.

One can imagine how much food and food it costs to arm an army.

"Or form an army first." After a rough calculation at the beginning, and after getting an approximate number, Xu Ding chopped half of it first to achieve the goal.

However, Mao Jie still disagreed, and the cost was still high.

"My lord, the new short crossbow is a sharp weapon of our army, but it has just been formed and has not yet been tested on the battlefield. It is really not suitable for mass deployment. Moreover, how can such an artifact be placed in the hands of two cavalry captains alone? Build a thousand vehicles and equip the government guards." Xi Zhicai stood up and said.

Equip Fuwei?
