Regarding the formation of long archers, Zhang Mo actually didn't know much about it. She could only sum up some theories by borrowing from the Battle of Agincourt between England and France.

For example, all archers in the army must carry a six-foot-long wooden stake with both ends sharpened. If the opponent's cavalry tries to approach, the archers will stand in their own positions in the staggered formation and point one end of the wooden stake.

Insert it into the soil, and the other end reaches the height above the waist, facing the enemy in front diagonally to prevent cavalry from colliding.

Secondly, there was the weather and terrain in this battle: rainy days turned the wheat fields into mud, which slowed down the French cavalry to a certain extent and gave the archers more time.

The British soldiers chose a trumpet-shaped terrain with woods on both sides. On the one hand, it could prevent the French cavalry from outflanking them. On the other hand, the trumpet-shaped terrain made the French cavalry rush closer and closer, and the formation would become denser. Longbow hits

The rate will be higher.

By drawing inferences from one example and combining it with the cavalry combat methods that Lu Bu had told her before, Zhang Mo could barely sum up a set of theoretical plans.

If you encounter a small group of barbarians on this trip, it is basically no problem for the 300 archers to rely on wooden stakes to shoot them head-on and then have the cavalry kill them. The reason why you consider so much is because you are afraid of running into a large group of barbarians.

There are also scouts to scout on the road. If they encounter a large group of barbarians, they will avoid them if they can. If they cannot avoid it, they will have time to set up their formations in advance, and the cavalry armors must also be equipped. Fortunately, they were handed over last time.

The batch of Quyi Buqu, plus the original ones in the village, can barely make up a hundred sets.

Zhang Mo had never seriously gone out to fight, so Zhang Mo had to be more careful. On all roads, problems that might arise during the battle must be considered in advance.

After everyone discussed the combat strategy, Zhang Mo added, "Besides these, there is another most important issue."

"What's the matter?"

"Border troops! These people may be a greater threat than the barbarians."

I am now a Black Mountain bandit!

In recent years, the governor of Bingzhou has formed more cavalry, and Zhang Yan is wary of three points. If his own men run into them, they will be killed.

Li Guidao said, "What's so difficult about this? Your family isn't a big family in Jinyang. Why don't we go to the government and get a merchant pass test? We can pretend to be a horse trading caravan."

Du Fei smiled and said, "This method is feasible!"

He looked at Zhang Mo and said, "The head of the family has no objection to your doing business anyway. Just say that you want to send someone to the North to exchange for war horses and ask him to help you go to the prefect's mansion to get a certificate. It's better. It's better to get the status of an official and businessman."

, this is foolproof.”

Zhang Mo's brows widened when he heard this, "Sure enough, three bastard generals can defeat one Zhuge Liang!"

Because Wang Yun doesn't like businessmen, Zhang Mo always subconsciously avoids business-related topics in front of him, but if he were told to exchange for war horses to equip his troops, he would definitely not object!

Even if you object, you have to pester him to agree. If not, go to your elder brother for help.

Several people discussed it, and Zhang Mo went back to Jinyang that day to check for information and prove it, while Xu Chu and others stayed in the village to intensify their training of long archers and cavalry.

More than two months later, the weather gradually warmed up, and all preparations were made. Xu Chu took the lead, and Du Fei assisted, leading 700 Golden Eagle Guards and 200 auxiliary soldiers to Yunzhong County.

There were not enough mounts, so two people had to ride one horse together, and some people could only walk. Zhang Mo transferred some horses from the earth building to transport supplies.

Xu Chu and others left for more than half a month, and the second batch of smuggled pig iron also arrived. In addition to forging swords and arrow clusters, Zhang Mo also asked Master Guo to make some stirrups and horseshoes, and also found a carpenter to make a high bridge saddle, just waiting for the war horse to return.

This allows soldiers to practice riding skills.

…………

Qingzhou, the seaside of Huang County, Donglai County.

The setting sun, like salted egg yolk, hung heavily over the western sea. Under the afterglow, dozens of men hurried along the coastline toward the pier.

"Look, there is a fishing boat docked." The person walking at the front pointed to the dock in the distance and shouted excitedly.

"There are fish to eat, and finally we can eat meat..."

Before the leader could say anything, the group of sallow-looking and ragged people rushed forward with a roar.

"The moth thief? Oh my god, the moth thief is here again!"

A fisherman who was unloading fish on the shore was so frightened that his face changed when he saw the crowd rushing towards him.

While shouting loudly, he picked up the fish-killing knife, cut the rope tied to the stake, and rowed the fishing boat quickly into the sea regardless of the fish that had been unloaded on the shore.

"The moth thief is coming, hurry up, run away!"

On the pier, people were jumping on their backs, moving fish, untying ropes, and holding oars. The fishermen were obviously experienced in being robbed. They moved very quickly and escaped completely in a moment.

"Why are you running so fast? We don't want to rob. We have money."

A man with long legs rushed to the pier first and shouted at the fishing boats at sea.

Believe it or not, the fishermen rowed the boat to a safe distance before stopping.

The people who were regarded as moth thieves were helpless. One of them, a man with a yellow beard, looked at the two baskets of fish on the pier and said with a grimace: "That's it, it's not enough to fill my teeth. I've been greedy for it for the past three years!"

"No, the county officials are stingy. There is a lot of fish in Donglai, but they only let us eat millet bran and green vegetables all day long, without any trace of meat or fish." Another person agreed.

The leading man stepped forward, looked at the silent fishermen in the distance, and said angrily, "You guys are charging towards me with such ferocity, who wouldn't think of us as moth thieves?"

"Aren't we just moth thieves before?" one of them said weakly.

Another person asked: "Qushuai, you really don't want to go back to your old career?"

The man who was called Qu Shuai was Guan Hai, who came to Qingzhou to look for his old subordinates. When he heard this, he laughed and said, "What? You have just been released from prison, and you want to go back to boil salt and work as a coolie?"

"How is that possible?" the man said, "Besides, we may not memorize it like that every time. Maybe we can do something big this time."

Guan Hai looked at the crowd, "With just a small number of people like us, we have nothing to eat and no weapons? Believe it or not, today we will rob the fisherman, and tomorrow we will have to go to jail. There is nothing the county can do to capture the bandits, so it is not enough to suppress us."

It's within reach."

"Isn't this because of you..."

"What good can I do on my own? If you want to do big things, just follow me to Jinyang. She is the one who can do big things."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Amo said that raising soldiers was for self-protection, he always felt that it was not that simple. She clearly didn't want to recruit so many people that day, but when she heard that Lu Bu married someone else, she immediately

So she agreed, she might want to rebel.

"Who?"

Guan Hai said, "My master is also your savior."

"Savior? Weren't you willing to suffer the punishment of breaking up a car to save us?"

Guan Hai said angrily: "Then how come I'm not dead?"

Everyone seemed to remember something, and immediately shouted, incredulously: "Yes, why are you not dead?"

Guan Hai laughed dumbly. These people must have been fooled by the salt.

"Back then, I was sentenced to death and you were exiled to the frontier as military slaves. It was the king's daughter who interceded on our behalf, so you were put on death row in my place, and you were transferred to Qingzhou. The border has long been unstable, and Xianbei has repeatedly invaded.

, if you work as a military slave, even if you don't die of exhaustion or illness, you will most likely die in battle. Now that you are alive and well, shouldn't you be grateful to her?"

Only then did everyone know the reason. They thought it was because they were lucky. There were more than 500 people, either drying salt or building roads and embankments, which were not fatal jobs. They didn't expect that they would be so kind.

"When I find other brothers, I will return to Jinyang. If you want to follow me, I will welcome you. If you want to find another high position, I will also give you some money. This is to fulfill my original intention."

"Of course we will follow you!" the man with the yellow beard said immediately.

"No, I will definitely hang out with you!" Others also expressed their opinions.

Because of the love they shared through life and death together, how could they turn to someone else after meeting Guan Hai? Moreover, they had to go see their benefactor!

Although these five hundred people were all in Qingzhou, they were distributed in different counties. It took Guan Hai several days of searching to find these dozens of people.

He took out a handful of copper coins from his purse and put it down, "Let's go. Let's bake these fish to fill our stomachs, and then go to the city to buy food tomorrow. You can go to various places to look for people, and finally meet in Huang County."

Originally, Guan Hai wanted to find Taishi Ci first, but he was lucky and found the first group of people as soon as he arrived in Huang County. He also saw that Amo had prepared a lot of money for him, so he simply let these people disperse to various counties.

try to find.

"What about you?"
