Chapter 74 Blitz
Yang Shou immediately issued an imperial edict to the Ministry of Hubu and the Ministry of War and the Taifu Prime Minister Yun Dingxing, asking them to discuss quickly to help Qin Hu send troops as soon as possible.
After Qin Hu returned home, he immediately found Zhang Xutuo and three others, and told him what happened when the emperor summoned him: "The three eldest brothers were all awarded the title of Eagle Striker General, and each led two thousand elite soldiers to fight against the rogue bandits.
Each of them will give the Xiaoguo Army a hundred people. With these one hundred people, it will be enough for you to destroy the city."
"Great, our brothers finally have a chance to succeed." Zhang Xutuo said with great joy.
Qin Hu said solemnly: "Three eldest brothers must not underestimate the enemy, and they must train their troops and make complete preparations before leaving."
"I have asked the emperor for five hundred craftsmen and an iron smelting plant. Starting from tomorrow, we will enter the iron smelting plant and start to build handy weapons, the secret weapons I made."
There were no bows and arrows in this era, let alone crossbows, so everyone who knew these weapons thought they were Qin Hu's own creations and admired him immensely.
Qin Hu also planned to build several heavy-duty crossbow vehicles for them to deliver a fatal blow to those country bumpkins at the critical moment.
"Remember, to deal with these peasant armies with poor equipment, we must launch a blitzkrieg, concentrate all the strong troops, hard crossbows, bows and arrows, directly attack their central army, and then rely on heavy armor protection to fight through them. They have not received formal training and were
After the bows and arrows and ballistas tear open the opening, there will inevitably be chaos. At that time, the pikemen will be pressed into the center of the army, and the quick-reaction cavalry will destroy its two wings. The enemy army will definitely disperse in a rush."
Qin Hu was talking about war on paper, but the three of them couldn't understand it at all, because they hadn't touched a bow and arrow yet.
I've seen it before, but I don't know how to use it, and I don't know how powerful it is. As for the hand crossbow, it is very effective for individual soldiers to fight in a dispersed manner, but if it causes large-scale destruction, the crossbow arrows are too small and not powerful enough.
So Qin Hu didn't say much. The next day, under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of War, he took 500 craftsmen directly into the iron smelting plant and began to build the weapons he needed.
Fifteen days passed quickly. All preparations were carried out in full swing under Yang Shou's personal supervision, and Qin Hu was not idle either.
500 craftsmen were not enough, so he asked Yang Shou to transfer 500 more, a total of 1,000 people. They were divided into three shifts and worked day and night to build a total of 1,500 bows and arrows and 1,500 cavalry crossbows.
The production of spears was much simpler. He had people purchase a batch of bamboo, and after processing, they added iron spearheads to them. They were still 5.5 meters in size. It only took ten minutes for each person to make one, and a total of one was created.
Eighteen thousand.
In other words, each person is equipped with three long guns as standard.
Next is training.
In his spare time these days, Qin Hu has taught Zhang Xutuo and the other three the basics of archery, but they all can't shoot accurately. This thing only lasts a few years, so it's impossible to shoot accurately.
But it doesn't matter, Qin Hu doesn't intend to let them shoot accurately, because when the large corps is fighting, you just need to shoot a parabola into the sky, and it will be a storm when it falls. The well-equipped legions are fine, but the poorly equipped ones are waiting to be destroyed.
Harvest.
A month later, Qin Hu was wandering around the iron smelting plant and the battlefield, eating and living in these two places, and the matter of boasting about his official status was no longer good.
But finally the training of these 6,000 elite soldiers became a little bit interesting.
On the last day, Yun Dingxing came.
Qin Hu did not dare to neglect Yun Dingxing, because this guy was a direct descendant of Yuwenshu, and he was also Yuwenshu's gold medal flatterer, and he was a top-notch despicable person.
Yun Dingxing was the emperor's brother and the father-in-law of the deposed prince Yang Yong. After Yang Yong and his wife were killed, he bribed Yuwenshu with a large amount of gold and silver treasures. Not only was he not implicated, but he was promoted and made a fortune.
Later Yu Wenshu said to him: "Lao Yun, you give me gifts every day, but I can't help you. Why? The emperor has something on his mind. Are Yang Yong's sons still alive?"
Yun Dingxing said, these guys should have died a long time ago. Don't worry about this matter, I will take care of it. So he immediately wrote a letter asking the emperor to kill his grandchildren.
As a result, Yang Yong's descendants were slaughtered.
Facing such a fierce and wolfish person, Qin Hu naturally put up many layers of defenses.
"Master Qin Xiaohou, I am being polite now."
Qin Hu hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Mr. Yun, my nephew Qin Hu thanks you for taking care of me these days. Without your help, my nephew would not have been able to prepare everything he needs in a short period of time."
"Look, my nephew has written all the memorials. If I perform meritorious service during this expedition, Sir, you will be the one who deserves the most credit."
Yun Dingxing was as fat as a fat man. He quickly blinked his little eyes to look at the memorial. When he saw Qin Hu strongly recommending him, his little eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile.
"Hey, Mr. Qin Xiaohou, Mr. Yuwen and Mr. Yuwen have all told me that you are his adopted son and Mr. Pei Ju's unmarried son-in-law. Then we are our own family. Naturally, a family cannot speak two languages. You
If there is anything you need, as long as I, Lao Yun, can do it, I will definitely do it."
Qin Hu chuckled: "Uncle Yun, there is nothing needed for now. It's just that in the future, you still have to think about your nephew for things like armor and weapons."
"That's natural. It doesn't matter what you say. All the best are with you, so you can rest assured to contribute to the emperor. Between you and me, we will both prosper and suffer, hehe."
"Thank you very much."
Qin Hu was too lazy to talk nonsense with such a despicable and shameless beast. After dealing with him, he quickly invited Zhang Xutuo and three others to come in to study the tactics.
Tomorrow, they will set out in three groups.
