After I became a general, I went back to my hometown to farm

◎Gu Zeyu took out the telescope, and then gave □□. ◎

Wei Yan was very surprised. He took this strange cylindrical thing to look around, and at the same time ordered to be alert to see what the barbarian was trying to do.

He kept watching the movement in the distance with that small telescope, and asked Gu Zeyu, "Zeyu, where did you get such a good thing, and you didn't show it to me earlier."

He also said, "This thing is of great benefit on the battlefield." If it can play a big role, every minute and every second is very important on the battlefield. If you can seize the opportunity, then the possibility of victory in this war will be greatly increased .

Gu Zeyu scratched his head and said, "It's not that I don't want you to see it, it was done a few days ago, and it's still a bit rough."

Then he added, "You don't know how much it cost me to buy these two pieces of colored glaze, and how difficult it is to find someone to polish it. It took hundreds of experiments to successfully make this one." Gu Zeyu is an old treasure, who knows In ancient times, this glass-like thing was so expensive.

These two small pieces cost him nearly ten taels of silver, and that's all, without counting the labor costs of the old craftsman.

Wei Yan said directly: "You will be reimbursed for this money, and now I will use this first. The barbarians are probably coming to rob again, so I have to keep an eye on them, but the strange thing is that it is only May, so why are they robbing?" Woolen cloth?"

He muttered, "Their food should be enough."

Gu Zeyu thought for a while and said, "They don't want to take advantage of the lush grassland and strong soldiers to fight a big battle with Zhaoguo directly."

Wei Yan felt that it was possible, so he said: "Zeyu, you go down the city wall first to prepare to meet the enemy, will you go first?"

Of course Gu Zeyu would not refuse, saying: "Okay, I'll go down now."

When Gu Zeyu arrived below, he directly summoned his men to meet the enemy. Although he is only a centurion now, he still has to obey the command of the thousand commander. However, due to his excellent commanding skills, his direct line officers are very friendly to him and almost always listen to his opinions. Not to mention that after making friends with General Wei Yan, his boss, the chief, said directly, Zeyu, you are capable, and you can do whatever you want.

Gu Zeyu would not overstep his bounds, he would generally guide the chief to approach his own ideas, but in fact it was just a small change, and the final action order was still issued by General Wei Yan.

So after the soldiers assembled, Gu Zeyu directly prepared trebuchets, kerosene, and a large number of bows and arrows, which could attack the barbarians who were close to the city wall and prevent them from climbing the city wall.

Gu Zeyu followed the other soldiers to the city wall, and saw that the Hu people were only a mile away from the city wall, very close.

So he came to General Wei Yan, Wei Yan has been deploying the war preparations below, and observed from time to time about how many Hu people there are, there are 3 Hu people, and the army is already overwhelming, and a black cloud is overwhelming the city. A scene to destroy.

Gu Zeyu said, "Everything is almost ready, and the drummer is also ready."

Drummers are necessary to boost morale before the war, which is the practice of Zhaoguo.

Wei Yan responded, saying that's fine.

Then said: "They stopped."

Looking from a distance, there was a single rider leading dozens of people to the city wall first, and stopped at a place where bows, arrows and stones could not attack.

This is the battle before the battle, so that the teacher can become famous.

The main idea of ​​this person's propaganda is, "You merchants in Zhaoguo are deceiving people too much. You buy cheap and poor quality porcelain, silk, and tea in Zhaoguo, and then sell them to us Hu people. The price is still very high. Just like that A piece of silk needs to be exchanged for five sheep, isn’t this bullying them, and the woolen clothes and some dairy products produced by themselves are hardly bought by people in Zhaoguo, and even if they are bought, the price is very low.”

It's really deceptive.

Gu Zeyu just laughed angrily. His own product is not good, but he blames other people’s products for being good. If he dislikes the expensive ones, he can not buy them, and he didn’t ask you to buy them. In the past, he used to buy things from Zhaoguo merchants for generations. Why? Now it is called expensive, and it is used as an excuse to start a war.

Why didn't I mention that Zhaoguo's merchants went to the grasslands to do business, and basically only five of them came back out of ten. Not all of them were unreasonable barbarians, and if they were a little dissatisfied, they directly detained the merchants as hostages.

It is also not mentioned that when the Hu people have no food every winter, they always go to the border of Zhao State to burn, kill and loot, killing countless people and robbing countless grains.

It's really as big as a basin.

Wei Yan also thought of this, so he directly asked people to shout from the air, mocking the barbarians.

This angered the Hu who came to shout, and began to curse in Hu language, no need to ask, just some words to curse people or greet parents.

Naturally, I also cursed back here, and directly brought the [-]th generation of Hu people's ancestors. You barbarians were originally a small country affiliated to Zhao Kingdom. The previous generations of Hu people paid tribute to Zhao Kingdom every year. Now you want to commit the following crime , What an ungrateful person.

The Hu man was so angry that he left directly.

In fact, Gu Zeyu and the others have fought against the Hu people. The characteristics of the Hu people are that their horses are strong and their cavalry are particularly powerful. After a lot of robbery, they just run away on their horses. If the breed is not good, they can't catch up at all, so they can only let the Hu people escape.

This is really very infuriating, even if you want to go up and fight with them.

However, they also have shortcomings, that is, they are relatively well-developed brains, simple limbs, and have their own bosses. Although they also obey the orders of similar khans, they are actually divided into various factions.

Not long after the Hu people in this room went back, the Hu people's army arrived under the city of Yu, and there were densely packed Hu people under the city, which looked very imposing at first glance.

But Yucheng was not to be outdone, Wei Yan directly asked the soldiers to beat drums to boost morale, and then personally directed the attack on the Hu army below.

Because Gu Zeyu had a good aim, he immediately followed the bow and arrow team to act together. With one order, all arrows were fired. Although they were blocked by the shields of the barbarians, they still shot many enemy soldiers and war horses.

This time, Hu Jun suffered thousands of casualties.

However, when Hu Jun saw the blood, he did not retreat, but stepped forward one after another, approaching the gate of the city one by one. At this time, Hu Bing, who was carrying rough wood and hit the gate of the city, was gradually approaching the gate of the city.

Seeing this, Gu Zeyu wanted to directly shoot those Hu Bing who were carrying the wood, but those Hu Bing specially wore thick armor to advance, so it was not easy to solve, so he could only shoot Hu Bing in the neck as much as possible.

This is because the fighting situation has become more and more intense, and the arrow space is almost gone, and bows and arrows cannot be used anymore.

The Hu people kept banging on the door. Although the door was very strong, it couldn't stand the repeated banging.

So he could only put down the big stones and smash them directly at the Hu soldiers who were attacking the city gate.

In this way, they continued to attack and defend, and the war lasted for a day and a night. After all, the city was defended, but there were still countless casualties.

Gu Zeyu is cleaning up the battlefield, even though he is tired and hungry, looking at these lost lives, Gu Zeyu is also a little sentimental, war is always cruel.

Now there is no way to avoid it, and he can only try to save these people who are still alive. He checks whether the casualties are still alive one by one. The active soldiers were carried to one place, and after confirming their identities, they were buried together. However, if conditions permit, a wooden plaque would be erected for them, engraved with their surnames and names, and which party they were from.

According to the post-war report, 5000 people were killed and 3000 were injured.

It is very tragic. In fact, sometimes defending the city is more difficult than besieging the city.

Gu Zeyu didn't sleep when he saw this scene, so he went to Wei Yan and said to him; "I have seen a weapon like a bow and arrow. It is called a crossbow. It can be aimed for a long time with zero effort. Novices can also shoot arrows in a short period of time, and the accuracy is not bad."

Gu Zeyu thought about it, and felt that it was still not enough weight, so he said, "The advanced version of the crossbow is the continuous crossbow, which can fire two arrows at once."

Hearing this, Wei Yan asked, "Is there a finished product?" His tone was a little anxious. If he could improve his accuracy, he would get twice the result with half the effort on the battlefield and counterattack more efficiently.

He would say this because he is an archer, but due to the limited number of bows and arrows, the time for archers to practice is limited. Most of them are made of bamboo arrows, and the arrows used on the battlefield have iron arrowheads. Not the same.

To be honest, most archers can only hit six or seven arrows with ten arrows.

Gu Zeyu said: "I can draw the blueprint for you. If possible, it's best to find a craftsman to make it secretly."

So in the second year when Gu Zeyu came to Yucheng, Yucheng produced a batch of guns and found a group of soldiers to practice using the new weapons.

Gu Zeyu was promoted to commander-in-chief because of his special contribution, and he was also tasked with training soldiers with crossbows.

Gu Zeyu naturally lived up to everyone's expectations and trained a group of excellent archers. Although he can't say that every shot hits every shot, he has also achieved every arrow.

Later, Gu Zeyu added aiming devices to several crossbows, which made them even more powerful.

However, because the cost was too high, only a few crossbows were made.

In the third year since Gu Zeyu came to Yucheng, he was already a veteran. Now he is 19 years old, a strong young man. He has grown up for a year and has matured a lot. He is more adaptable to this world and has a sense of belonging to this country.

He is still stationed in Yucheng, but he is already qualified to buy a house in Yucheng to settle down, but he didn't buy it, he just rented a house. After all, living in a military camp is not very convenient.

Gu Zeyu still wanted to go back to his hometown, to Gujia Village, the place he could see as soon as he opened his eyes.Although this city of Yu also has beautiful customs and customs, most of the land cannot be cultivated, and the wasteland is full of wasteland, empty and heroic, and lack of supplies.

Gu Zeyu has been here for three years, but he is still not used to the dry climate here, and often suffers from nosebleeds.

Gu Zeyu had thought about it a long time ago. After waiting for a few more years, the barbarians were repelled, and he would directly disarm and return to the field.

At that time, take the money I have saved in the past few years, go back to my hometown, buy a few acres of fertile land, plant some fruit trees, and live a good life with money and leisure. better.

With such a good wish in mind, Gu Zeyu carried out training and living step by step.

In the fourth year when Gu Zeyu came to Yucheng, Gu Zeyu felt that the root cause of his inability to defeat the Hu soldiers was that the cavalry of Zhao Kingdom were too weak, so he slowly planned to get war horses from the grassland or crossbreed them to breed stronger horses. horses.

The second is to enhance the ability of the cavalry. Most cavalry can control the horse to move forward and backward when they sit on the horse, but they can't control the horse to fight well. Just sitting on the horse will cause panic, and it is really uncomfortable because of the bones of the horse. .

Hu people grew up on horseback since they were young, so naturally they have excellent horse riding skills, and they are all used to horses.

However, most of the cavalry in Zhao Kingdom were only exposed to horseback riding and archery when they were 16 years old. How could this compare to the cavalry of the Hu people.

So Gu Zeyu thought of China's thousands of years of wisdom achievements-saddle and stirrup. The former can make the rider sit more comfortably when riding for a long time, and the latter is better to mount the horse, can fix the posture, and better control the horse.

It is simply an excellent equipment for cavalry.

The author says:

Another protagonist will appear in the next chapter, brother Cheng Cheng, when he saw a strange man like Gu Zeyu enter the village, he thought he was a bad guy.
