Han Shimou

Wen Hanjun returned to Linhe City after cleaning the battlefield and cremating the corpses for a long time.After the current Linhe City was washed away by the torrent last night, most of the houses were swept away, and the ground was covered with roof tiles and piles. Some of the better houses were also in dilapidated condition and could be collapsed at any time.

Wen Han ordered the whole army to simply repair a lot of houses for two hours, first to stay and rest.Xu Huang was sorting out the captured spoils. Although many Qianghu horses were drowned in the flood, some of them survived. Qianghu produced famous horses, and each of these horses was very valuable.Moreover, the Qiang and Hu people still left a lot of armor, weapons, and food.Xu Huang led the soldiers, carefully cleaned the surroundings, and put away the trophies one by one.

The county magistrate's office in Linhe City is worthy of being a symbol of a county. It is made of solid materials, and the big torrent did little damage to it, but some doors and windows were washed away.As a general, Wen Han rested in the county magistrate's office as a matter of course, and Gao Shun, who was unconscious, also lived there. It seemed that he accidentally hit his head when he was rushed into the mountain pit by the torrent, and he hadn't woken up for a while.

"A total of 2000 Qianghu people were wiped out this time, and our army suffered [-] casualties. We captured [-] famous Qianghu horses, [-] soldiers, and [-] pairs of weapons."

In the meeting hall, Xu Huang simply reported the battle report, Wen Han nodded deeply, and said again.

"These three thousand Qiang and Hu famous horses can survive in this torrent, there must be something extraordinary about them. Gongming, if you replace these famous horses with Heifengqi, it will definitely increase the combat power of Heifengqi .As for the replaced old horse, you will take care of it first, and you can also form a cavalry army under your command."

"No need. With the Black Wind Cavalry, which is extremely excellent, any cavalry is redundant. Besides, I am not good at leading this cavalry, but I do have an idea that I have been hiding for a long time. I hope that you will agree. Let me form it A spear and shield soldier!"

Xu Huang is very envious of Wen Han's love for Black Wind Rider, and even feels that Wen Han is eccentric.Black Wind Cavalry not only has the advanced accessories such as saddle and stirrup, but also its weapons and armor are the most sophisticated.

Almost half of Wen Han's property was invested in it.Moreover, Black Wind Rider is practicing a new skill, riding and shooting.Xu Huang once watched Guan Yu's military training, and he deeply understood how much the combat effectiveness of Heifengqi would be improved once he was trained in riding and shooting.And now I got these [-] Qiang and Hu famous horses.With such equipment, Xu Huang has no doubt that this Black Wind Cavalry will soon be famous all over the world, making all the princes afraid!

However, Xu Huang was unwilling to be outdone, and had long thought of forming a spear and shield soldier.Spear and shield soldiers hold spears and shields at the same time. They are infantry with strong defense, which can effectively reduce the shooting from long-range weapons such as enemy bows and javelins.However, shields were not popular in the Han Dynasty, and Han people generally believed that one inch was longer and one inch was stronger.It's better to use a shield than a gun.But Xu Huang didn't think so. He also had a lot of research on shields, and wanted to combine the spear and shield to form a new type of arms that was both defensive and offensive.

However, this spear and shield soldier also has its disadvantages, that is, its mobility is very poor. Generally, shields are made of iron and weigh more than ten catties. It is very laborious for ordinary soldiers to fight with shields.Therefore, those who are not strong men cannot be incorporated into this spear and shield soldier, and the shield is very expensive, and it will cost a lot of silver.

Wen Han is not afraid of spending money, but it is difficult to find this strong man.Thinking deeply, tapping on the table, thinking about its feasibility.Xu Huang stood quietly by the side, not disturbing his thinking.

"Gongming has been thinking about this for a long time, and he must be sure. It turned out to be the case, so I let it go. However, at this time, I don't have so much silver in my pocket. You can make this shield with wood of similar weight. There are plenty of guns in the army. Also, in terms of manpower, how much does Gong Mingru plan to have?"

When Xu Huang heard Wen Han's answer, his face brightened. As for the number of this team, it had been planned long ago, and he agreed immediately.

"Two thousand and five hundred people are enough. The spear and shield soldiers are not very mobile, and too many are a burden, dragging down the journey of the entire army. Two thousand and five hundred people can just form a shield formation, which can effectively defend against arrows and arrows. Some long-range attacks, and if it's a head-on battle, I'm 500% sure, as long as the number is no more than five times that of my spear-shield soldiers, it will be difficult for any arms to break through my spear-shield soldiers!"

"Okay! That's the case. Gongming can start immediately. Now that the Black Wind Cavalry has been formed and all the equipment is collected, there is no need to invest in silver taels. Now I am worried about where to spend the silver taels. Gongming Ru recommended himself, which is a relief. Solve my problem. After you have found enough manpower and enough training, I will let people start to make excellent equipment for your spear and shield soldiers."

"Thank you, my lord!"

Xu Huang's eyes were bright, and at first he was a little apprehensive that Wen Han would not be willing to spend money.After hearing what Wen Han said, he immediately blamed himself for that thought.Wen Han's unconditional trust made Xu Huang more convinced that his decision to follow Wen Han was correct.

"The two of us don't need to be too polite. In private, you can call me my name. Otherwise, I don't feel used to it. By the way, Gong Mingru now has 200 people under your command, and you have to select strong men to incorporate into this gun Shield soldiers. You know your men and horses best. You can probably guess how many people can be qualified?"

"Well... I don't think there should be a thousand people. This gun and shield soldier is very demanding, and I don't want to make up for it."

"It's so. You can train this group of people first, and when you have troops in the future, let the previous batch of veterans be officers and train recruits. In this way, the training time can be greatly reduced, and the gun and shield soldiers It will be shown to the world as soon as possible.”

Wen Han discussed with Xu Huang enthusiastically. If this spear and shield soldier is so miraculous as Xu Huang said, it can be said to have a lot of uses and can face many situations in the future.The two discussed for two or three hours without getting tired. They didn't stop until Guan Yu walked in and reported something.

"Brother Yunchang, look at your frown, what happened?"

Wen Han looked at Guan Yu, who had a deep expression and furrowed brows, and asked in doubt.

"Brother Bufan, just now a group of villagers living in the mountains near Linhe came into this city. There are five or six hundred people, and they are kneeling at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion. They want to see you, Brother Bufan, and ask you to avenge their grievances. "

"Revenge? Could it be that our soldiers and horses went to harass the people! You bastard! I always be strict with you and Gongming. These people are the parents of the soldiers. They grow food and pay taxes to support how many Han soldiers and horses! So no matter what, you must never Harassing the people! I’m going out now, if I know which army’s soldiers and horses have harassed the people, including its chief, and you, I will definitely not take it lightly!”

Wen Han usually hates people who bully the people the most, so the military style is very strict, but he didn't expect that some people would dare to do such offensive things.Guan Yu also knew about Wen Han's character, that's why he frowned just now, but he also thought about the character of the people that Hei Fengqi belonged to, and thought that it shouldn't be Hei Fengqi.

Guan Yu and Xu Huang looked at the furious Wen Han, and then they looked at each other again, as if they were asking if it was your army.Both of them shrugged their shoulders at the same time, and they both believed in the character of their subordinates.

Guan Yu and Xu Huang followed Wen Han and hurried out of the mansion gate.After Wen Han came out, he saw more than 500 common people whose clothes were not completely dry, kneeling there together. Looking at their pale faces, they must have been exposed to a lot of rain and suffered a lot.

"Excuse me... is your lord the champion of literature among the people of Xiudu?"

An old man in his sixties with disheveled white hair first kowtowed and then asked tremblingly.

Wen Han hurried over to help the old man, comforted him softly, and ordered the kneeling people to stand up quickly.Seeing Wenhan's gentle attitude and lack of bureaucratic airs, the old man knew that the rumors were true, and immediately tried to kneel down again.Wen Han used his hands hard to prevent him from kneeling down.

The old man suddenly burst into tears and praised.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

When Wen Han heard this, Ling Ran immediately looked at Guan Yu and Xu Huang.

"Brother Bufan. If you harass the people, I dare not guarantee it. But it is absolutely impossible to kidnap women!"

Before Wen Han could speak, Guan Yu spoke immediately.After hearing this, Wen Han's anger was also reduced by half. Indeed, he knew that his soldiers would not do such unconscionable things as kidnapping women.

"Old man, don't you want to cry. Speaking slowly, did people in our army kidnap your daughter?"

"Wuwu...No..." The old man was choked up and said, Wen Han stroked his back, and said again after the old man calmed down.

"The thing is like this. The old man and these people live in a small village in the mountains south of the Linhe River. The old man is the village head of this small village. A few days ago, a large group of Han troops came. Because of the heavy rain at that time, they took the old man and these people All the villagers drove out, some left on their own, and some went with the old man. Later, when he was about to leave, the Han general who led the army saw that the old man's two daughters were beautiful, so he was forced to stay.

Because the Han soldiers were numerous and powerful, and they were vicious, the old man was afraid of death and dared not stop them.In the past few days, the old man really wanted a girl, and regretted it.I also saw that Linhe City was suddenly flooded, and then many Qiang and Hu people were washed out.It was also heard ten days ago that Wen Champion led the troops to save Linhe, presumably Wen Champion won the battle.

Although the old man's small village is remote, he usually sells some prey and quarry to the merchants in the city. He knows that Wen Guanjun is close to the people and protects the people, so he leads the villagers to ask Wen Guanjun to save the old man's two suffering daughters. "

The old man was crying while talking.At this time, a bean-faced man next to the old man suddenly kowtowed and shed tears.

"Please ask Wen Guanjun to save the wife of the Caomin family from Lu Fengxian's beast. After the matter is completed, the Caomin will be an ox and a horse for the adults."

The bean skinned man kowtowed until his head was bleeding, while Wen Han, who was listening, frowned.

"You little people, how do you know that the leader of the army is Lu Fengxian. Lu Fengxian is the prefect of Shuofang County, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see. You must have secrets that are not seen by others! If you don't explain it clearly and hide it from me, However, I will take the lead in your place, and at that time, Nalu Feng will turn my army against me. It will embarrass me.

So, don't you want to say something perfunctory.Speak that hidden thing! "

Wen Han's eyes changed suddenly, and he squinted at the bean skinned man.The bean skinned man trembled all over, secretly cursing himself for slipping the tongue.

"What? Wen Guanjun. This man is the husband of one of the old man's two daughters. He is the old man's son-in-law. Although he is ignorant and talented, he is kind-hearted..."

At this time, the bean skinned man hesitated again and again, as if he had made up his mind abruptly, he gritted his teeth and interrupted the old man's words.

"Can Champion Wen know Gao Shun? Cao Min is from the same village as him and Lu Bu. The death of Gao Shun's parents is related to this Lu Fengxian. Cao Min knew that Gao Shun was now under Lu Bu's command, so they probably didn't know the truth. Fearing that Lu Bu would kill someone, the Caomin left their hometown and lived incognito in this mountain village. A few days ago, the Caomin recognized Lu Fengxian at a glance, but after so many years, Lu Fengxian no longer recognizes this little man!"
