Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 137 Leveling with Battle

Chapter 141

Physical training is easy to solve, but the most difficult thing for Ran Ming at this time is the problem of equipment.

It is difficult for a qualified archer to become an army without three years of training.The best way is to use a crossbow, but Ran Ming can't make it himself.It must be too late to transfer from Qingzhou!
There was no other way, Ran Ming had no choice but to make a second attempt, and adopted the same method of building a return cannon.People use the return cannons to attack the city, but Ran Ming is good, he uses the return cannons as artillery for field battles.

The overall size of the return cannon was reduced to a third of the size of the original version, so its power was naturally reduced.Only five to ten catties of stone bullets can be fired, and the stone bullets should be thrown at about 170 steps!And the small size also has the advantage of being small. In this way, this small return cannon weighs only more than 200 catties, and two people can push it around.

A return gun only needs four people to form an independent combat unit!

Let's be small, anyway, no one can carry a five-jin stone bomb on someone's body!This time it is not a hastily built return gun. The throwing arm and the key shaft are all made of iron parts, not to mention durability, and the stability is greatly increased!

In Ran Ming's plan, each battalion of the Luozhou Army was equipped with at least fifty small return artillery catapults.It's impressive when you think about it, fifty small return guns can fire fifty stone bullets at a time.

The Yang family is a big family in Hongnong County, and Yang's ancestral home occupies almost half of the southern city.At this time, in the small pavilion in the back garden of the old house in Yang's mansion, there was a woman with a good figure and a beautiful face sitting.Looking at this woman, apart from being a little darker, her appearance is almost impeccable.If you have to find something wrong, it means that you have lost a little bit of femininity.

The girl's name is Yang Yun, and she is the youngest daughter of Yang Ji. She is only 15 years old this year.As the patriarch of the Hongnong Yang family, Yang Ji shoulders the important task of revitalizing the Yang family!He has adopted a cooperative relationship with Ran Ming, but he still feels uneasy!The most common way to maintain the relationship between the gentry is still the most clichéd marriage!
Yang Ji told his wife Chen Shi about this idea.The Chen family is also from a famous family, and she is the daughter of the Chen family in Yingchuan.

The Chen family actually looked down on Ran Ming, even though Ran Ming was the King of Chu in the Wei Kingdom.

Among the gentry, the Ran family is not a high school.Mrs. Chen wanted to marry her daughter to her nephew.This can better maintain the relationship between Chen and Yang!
Although Chen has ideas, she saw that Yang Ji was very keen on letting Yang Yun marry Ran Ming.She didn't say anything more!

Chen quietly told Yang Yun what Yang Ji thought, she knew that Yang Yun had a strong temper, if Yang Yun disagreed, it would be enough for Yang Ji to have a headache!

Yang Yun's face was full of sadness. Speaking of it, women in ancient times matured precociously, and 15 years old was already considered old.It is also common to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen!Yang Yun said to the servant girl, "Do you know Ran Ming?"

"The maid is not too clear. I heard that he is the king of Pengcheng in the Wei state. During the Liantai war, he defeated the strong with the weak and defeated the Xianbei people, so he was named the king of Chu. There are rumors outside that this person is cruel and easy to kill, and Lustful, he has hundreds of beautiful concubines around him, and it is said that there is a concubine who is already six years old. There are also rumors that Ran Ming is a man-eating man, he is over ten feet tall, his waist is eight feet, his eyes are like copper bells, and his strength is boundless! He can call wind and rain, set lightning and thunder. He can also move mountains and fill seas. He was the one who set fire to the Di people's 10 troops. [-] people were burned to death by him!"

Yang Yun's face turned pale with fright, "Is there such a person in the world?"

Yang Yun listened to her mother, and her father wanted to marry herself to Ran Ming, such a big man, if she married him, she would be scared to death! She wondered in her heart: "Will Ran Ming eat herself?"

Yang Yun's age was just in the rebellious period of youth, she thought that she would marry such a devil, she would be dead!

Yang Yun asked the maid to pack up her luggage secretly, dressed herself as a man, and quietly left the house!

With Yang's strong support for Ran Ming, [-] sets of clothing, food for more than [-] people, as well as armor, weapons, and building barracks, etc., required countless migrant workers and craftsmen.Relying on the normal expenses of the [-] troops, Ran Ming boosted the economy of the small city of Taolin.At this time, Taolin was no longer as quiet as it used to be, but seemed to be a little prosperous.

Yang Yun walked on the street with her maid, watching the changes in Taolin, she was a little excited.As a canary in a cage, Yang Yun finds everything strange.Just entered the Grand View Garden!
At this moment, the servant girl suddenly exclaimed: "Why are you like this, don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead."

Only then did Yang Yun realize that there was a young man lying on the ground, who was hugging his thigh and howling in pain!Another young man said: "My lord, is it reasonable for you to bump into someone?"

Yang Yun was stunned, she had no social experience, so how could she tell that this was someone who touched porcelain!

She panicked right then.

"Do you still want to run after bumping into someone?" The local ruffian kept a straight face, glared fiercely at Yang Yun, and shouted, "You have bumped into someone, you must give us an explanation!"

"What do you think?" The servant girl also grew up in a deep house and had no life experience like Yang Yun.

Seeing the ferocious look on that ruffian's face, he was too scared to speak.

A look of awe flashed in the servant girl's eyes, she lowered her head and said in a crying voice.

Yang Yun also panicked.

The man lying on the ground hugged his legs and howled, not knowing the severity.In fact, the reason is very simple. Don’t you know whether you bumped into someone or not?In other words, Yang Yun is a rich lady who doesn't touch Yang Chunshui with her hands, and she can't squeeze out three or two strengths from all over her body, let alone hitting people, even hitting chickens can't kill her!

"No! If you bump into someone, you will have to pay!" A fierce-looking burly man, dressed in ragged clothes, looked at Yang Yun with greedy eyes and said!
In fact, these gangsters on the street have water in their eyes, and they also have rules.Pengci means that rabbits do not eat grass beside their nests.The targets of their blackmail are generally outsiders.

There are almost all big families with names and surnames near Taolin, and they all know each other more or less!If Yang Yun appeared as a woman dressed as Ming Daliang, they would not dare to make mistakes based on her distinction as the first daughter of the Yang family.

If Yang Yun brought more servants from the Yang family, they would also have to think about it!But the blame is that there is only a maid beside Yang Yun.And the two of them are relatively unfamiliar, and these hooligans don't know each other.

"Yes, lose money!" A group of more than a dozen idlers slowly surrounded Yang Yun's master and servant and shouted aggressively.

Yang Yun had no choice but to take out the belongings on her body, who would have thought that those hooligans would have a lot of appetite.

Yang Yun didn't understand either, in fact, those golden beans of hers were more than enough to buy the lives of a hundred strong men, let alone a broken leg!

This is all right, as soon as I left the house, my money was blackmailed by others!
There is a saying that it is difficult to move an inch without money!Want to go back to Yang's Mansion, Yang Yun's stubborn character is unwilling to admit defeat!

A rich lady lives on the streets, and she cannot suffer less.It was Yang Yun's stubbornness that made her pay the unbearable bitter fruit!At this time, Yang Ji got the news that Yang Yun had run away from home and was about to go berserk.

The entire Yang Mansion was mobilized, and more than 1000 children were looking for Yang Yun everywhere!
Ran Ming's life is better, Taolin is the location of the largest gold mine in China, and the Lingbao of later generations is the city of gold in China.There is no shortage of various ores of gold, silver, copper and iron in Taolin.

However, Ran Ming did not mine gold mines on a large scale. His idea was that if Wei Guo could not gain a firm foothold in Taolin, he would not touch those precious resources!However, because there is a lot of iron ore, Ran Ming's steel needs can be met.

Although the smelting technology did not meet the requirements, Ran Ming still asked the craftsmen to create a horizontal knife that was not available in this era!Because the power of a one-handed sword can never be compared with that of a two-handed sword.Even a Huan Shou Dao of the same quality is not as powerful as a Heng Dao!

In addition to the horizontal knife, Ran Ming also used his golden fingers of time travelers to create an epoch-making folding steel shield.

As more and more forged weapons entered the barracks, Ran Ming's Luozhou new army has also trained to look good!

However, Ran Ming also understands that new soldiers who have not experienced the battlefield cannot train elites.

After four or five days of extreme training, Ran Ming ordered several of his disciples to select [-] soldiers with excellent training performance from each of the five wide leaves of the Luozhou Army after the training was over!
According to Ran Ming's competition mechanism, these well-trained soldiers are almost all grassroots officers.Secondly, most of them are survivors of the Luoyang massacre.

Five battalions each selected 1000 elite soldiers, and a total of [-] people were neatly lined up in the school field. Ran Ming looked at the remaining [-] soldiers, their faces were all blank, and they were somewhat uneasy!

Ran Ming smiled and said, "You guys are not staying here because you didn't train well. On the contrary, it's because you train very well! You've trained very well, Gu is very satisfied!"

Before these thousand outstanding soldiers had time to be happy, Ran Ming poured a basin of cold water on their heads!
"But elites can't be trained by training. They need to go through the baptism of battle before they can become elites!" Ran Ming said: "I'm going to use battles instead of training to make you elites as soon as possible!"

Although Ran Ming had the support of the Yang family, as the Di people invaded Luoyang, many families were destroyed along the way.

Ran Ming used the food sent by the Yang family to help the refugees. In this way, because of Ran Ming's selfless support of the refugees, more refugees came to Taolin after hearing the news!Almost all the refugees around Hongnong County came.

Ran Ming asked Yang Sheng to draw up a large area of ​​wasteland in Hongnong County, and distribute it to the refugees with seeds, rations, and cultivated tools. Since then, the money and food in Ran Ming's hands have been consumed very quickly.

Ran Ming is both happy and worried about these refugees coming to seek refuge. He is happy that the Central Plains has always been short of population, and a large number of fields are barren. These people can greatly increase their power when they come.

What worries me is that I don't have much food and money left. If all these people join in, I'm afraid I don't have so much money and food to support them. Even if the Yang family supports it, it's already barely enough to support [-] troops, and it won't last long!
It's still early for spring plowing, and it's too late to grow food by myself.

The best way is to adopt the method of supporting war with war, and launch an attack on the Qin army. Guanzhong has a bumper harvest and has enough rice to support it.But when these new troops faced the Di soldiers who were three times more fierce than the Han soldiers, Ran Ming didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it, Ran Ming had no choice but to attack the bandits around him!
