Chapter 3 Bow and Arrow Comes Out
You must know that although Qin Hu is currently in decline, the Qin family has dominated the Yu Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the champions of the past dynasties are heavyweights who hold military power.
It can be said that he has disciples and former officials all over the world.
As far as he knew, there were countless people who wanted to harm Qin Hu, but not all of them wanted to protect him.
"Huh, you're not bad, you know how to advance and retreat... Then let me ask you, what happened last night?"
So Qin Hu told what happened last night in detail.
"The big family of Champion Hou... is really unfathomable..." Li Xiaokun's sly eyes flicked around Qin Hu's thin body, and he muttered to himself.
In fact, Gundam and Li Xiaokun had just inspected the body. After the inspection, they stared at each other for a long time, speechless.
Because those two people died so neatly, it didn't look like they were killed by amateurs at all.
The two of them compared it in their minds, and both felt that they could never do it.
Moreover, what Qin Hu killed was not ordinary enemy soldiers, but scouts.
What is a scout?
For example, the two hundred people currently led by Li Xiaokun, except for one hundred civilians responsible for transporting baggage, the others are all carefully selected so-called elite soldiers.
Elite soldiers are those who are young and strong, have received strict training, can run with heavy loads, can use horizontal swords, are ruthless, murderous, and have excellent military skills.
Generally, this type of soldier, coupled with good equipment, has a very low mortality rate on the battlefield, and it takes several years to train one.
Scouts are elite soldiers among elite soldiers, and one can defeat several elite soldiers.
But Qin Hu easily killed two scouts last night without letting them make a sound, killing them with one blow.
So Li Xiaokun naturally thought of the family heritage of the Champion Houfu.
However, the person who wants to put Qin Hu to death also has a deep background, but what should he do?
"The young Marquis, with his family background, is naturally very powerful..."
"Let's see. Since the young Marquis can kill two of the opponent's scouts with one person, you must be more than enough to be a scout yourself..."
"I have a job here for you. If you perform well, you may have the opportunity to light up the front door again in the future, haha."
Li Xiaokun felt that if this kid could die on his own, that would be the best of both worlds.
Qin Hu lowered his head and listened quietly, thinking about how to deal with it.
He is a very calm person and never rushes to speak.
"Yes, please give your orders."
"In this way, you take back half of these things, and you will be our scout from now on. Now you go out fifty miles ahead and help me find out the enemy's situation."
Fifty miles?
Qin Hu knew that generally scouts would not leave the main force for more than twenty miles, and the distance of fifty miles was really outrageous.
Coming out of Li Xiaokun's tent, Qin Hu had a bad feeling in his heart. This guy wanted him to die.
Qin Hu's thinking is not unfounded. There is another thing that is very unreasonable, and that is the horse issue.
The Yu Dynasty had a government military system, and the scouts' horses were all brought from home, so it was not a mistake for Li Xiaokun not to mention it, because in principle the court did not provide horses for the cavalry.
In other words, this is obviously a trap!
In such an icy and snowy environment, with only a small amount of rations, can he come back after going out?
But if he doesn't go out, he's disobeying orders, and he won't survive either.
In fact, Qin Hu could have taken advantage of this opportunity to run away. With his skill and strategy, he could survive outside anyway, but he didn't want to do that.
With his character, even though he was in such adversity, what he still wanted in his heart was to restore the glory of the Champion House.
After all, half of his memories come from the real Little Marquis, and where there are memories, there are feelings.
Just wait, sooner or later, I will return to the capital and kill all those who want my life.
After making up his mind, Qin Hu went back to the tent to pack his things and said goodbye to everyone as if nothing had happened.
Although those people had a better attitude toward him, they still looked down on him and didn't pay much attention to him.
But before leaving, Qin Hu said: "Xiao Anzi, please take care of me. I will be back at sunset at the most. Please brothers."
"Hahahaha, at sunset, hahahaha."
"I'm afraid today will be your memorial day next year, hahahaha."
"The enemy is so close, and the Yama Palace is fifty miles away. You still want to come back. What a fool."
"Have you ever seen a scout act alone? The centurion clearly wanted you to die."
…
"I must eat all these things and then make a bow and arrow."
In order to gain heat and physical strength, Qin Hu stopped to eat as soon as he walked five miles away.
He ate a pot helmet, a handful of fried beans, and all the bacon with snow water in the ice and snow.
Then he decided to make a bow and arrow first, both for self-defense and for hunting, because the rations had been exhausted.
Qin Hu has never understood the bug that there are no bows and arrows in this era.
You must know that bows and arrows, as long-range attack weapons in the cold weapon era, can play a vital role in every battle. However, there are still long-range attack weapons in this era, namely javelins and slingshots.
However, these two weapons have too many disadvantages compared to bows and arrows, and they cannot be compared at all.
So Qin Hu now cut down a few branches and planned to make a simple infantry longbow.
In the age of cold weapons, it would take at least a month to make a good longbow, but the simple version can be made in half an hour.
Use a sharp dagger to cut the elm branch thin on both sides and thick in the middle, then bake it with fire until it bends and deforms, twist the bark into hemp rope, make a bow string and wrap it around it, and the bow and arrow are made.
Finally he sharpened a few twigs, dug a few grooves in the ends, and penetrated the bird's feathers, obtaining a total of five arrows.
I tried shooting two arrows, and the range should be about 20 meters.
"Set off."
The Changbai Mountains are covered with silver, covered with white snow, and the howling wind is blowing.
Because it was a war zone, production was abandoned, and there were sparse trees and desolate and frozen land everywhere. Scouts from both sides were intertwined here, and Qin Hu had to climb mountains and ridges along the way.
Along the way, he saw countless barely clothed refugees carrying young and old, crying on the road. They were miserable and miserable. They must have escaped from Yuguan in front of them.
Many refugees starved to death on the way to escape. Within sight, there were piles of dead bodies, vicious dogs and crows struggled to share their food, and the north wind made a rueful cry.
Last year, Emperor Dayu was so happy that he led an army of 300,000 to conquer Liaodong. Due to improper command, almost the entire army was wiped out. Not only did he lose a lot of manpower, material and equipment, but he also lost hundreds of miles of land.
Yuguan also fell as a result.
The Liaodong Kingdom was originally poor, but because of the acquisition of these supplies, its military strength suddenly became stronger, forming a situation in which it turned from defense to offense against the Yu Dynasty.
