Lord Moyu was forced to open

Chapter 296 Anomalies in the Northwest Frontier
Taking a closer look at the arrow in his hand, Zhao Sheng found that this arrow was different from ordinary bow and arrow arrows. This arrow was shorter than ordinary arrows.

A normal bow and arrow is about four feet long (70cm), but this arrow is only a little over three feet (50cm).

Moreover, normal arrows have arrow feathers at the end of the arrow, but this one does not.

The whole arrow is not only shorter than normal arrows, but also thicker!

The arrow part is a special shape, which Zhao Sheng has never seen before. It has three corners, and there are three grooves extending from the corners on the arrow. I don't know what it is for.

Gently shaking the arrow in his hand, Zhao Cheng frowned, handed the crossbow to the man in black and said, "Break the shaft of the arrow."

Although the man in black didn't understand why the fifth prince would do this, he immediately exerted his strength in his hand, and the wooden arrow shaft shattered with a cracking sound as the inner energy poured into it.

However, what neither of them expected was that under the wooden arrow shaft, the direction of the arrowhead connected to the arrow shaft was not inlaid or glued, but an iron core with the same length as the arrow shaft was directly wrapped in it. into the wooden arrow shaft.

That is to say, the whole arrow except for the wooden arrow shaft is all in one piece, and there is no trace of splicing on it, so it should be cast directly.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng showed such an expression, and said: "My prince said that the arrow is so heavy, and the feelings are all made of iron.

You said just now that when you met the people under Lao Liu's men, they would shoot at least hundreds of arrows out every time they attacked, so you didn't feel bad at all? "

The man in black recalled it for a while, and nodded affirmatively: "That's true, it's like not wanting money."

Bouncing the arrow up and down, Zhao Sheng suddenly showed a smile: "It's all good iron!
It seems that the sixth child has made a fortune!

I knew before that where he produced iron, there were money to recruit refugees to fill Yunzhou County, but I didn't expect that there was so much iron.

If such arrows were placed in the army, the cost alone would be enough to make the Ministry of Industry and Household feel distressed.

Even if it is made, it is a good thing for the military to save.

Unexpectedly, at Lao Liu's place, in order to chase and kill a person, he would throw hundreds of sticks out without hesitation every time he attacked.

So rich! "

Zhao Sheng couldn't help showing an expression of envy. He used to think that there were no good things in the backcountry of Yunzhou County.

Now it seems that it's not that there is no one, it's just that no one has discovered it, which makes Lao Liu take advantage of it.

It's just that the sixth son has developed such strength, and even the Tatars were repelled by him. I don't know what the fourth prince and his father think. It's really interesting, and things suddenly become interesting up...

Zhao Sheng looked in the direction of the palace with a playful smile in his eyes.

After thinking about it, Zhao Sheng asked, "Is there any chance to get a weapon like that?"

The man in black shook his head: "I tried to snatch it, but their defenses are very strict, and it seems that this thing has been specially processed. Once there is a possibility of being snatched by me, the weapon will be destroyed immediately, and what I get is a pile of broken pieces. parts."

"Well, it seems that there is no chance.

By the way, is there really no way to investigate the specific situation on the sixth side? "

Zhao Sheng asked again.

The man in black thought for a while, and then said: "Others can't help it, but you should be able to, Fifth Highness."

Zhao Sheng was stunned, and asked, "Why can I?"

The man in black explained: "Your Highness, you have the support of the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family on the east side of the Great Song Dynasty has power in the Hedong corridor. The Liaoyun pass is guarded by the sixth prince. You can't even connect with him on the east side of the river." Can you also stop it?
Your Highness, if you send someone to sneak into Yunzhou County from the Hedong Corridor, you should be able to find out the specific situation of the Sixth Prince. "

Zhao Sheng was stunned, and nodded: "It's true, Yunzhou County is so big, there are always gaps to exploit, this prince has written it down.

The news you sent this time is very important, in addition to the old mountain ginseng, the prince will give you another 5000 taels of silver, and you should understand when there is news later..."

When the man in black heard that there was still 5000 taels of silver, he immediately grinned.

Nodding repeatedly, he said: "His Royal Highness, put it down, I'm sorry, servants, if there is any information, I will definitely pass it to His Highness as soon as possible."

"So, very good!"

……

When leaving the fifth prince's mansion, it was already dark.

There were no people on the street, only the walking of Marquis Wu patrolling the street and the occasional dog barking could be heard from afar.

I looked around and saw that there was no one there, and the figure of the man in black disappeared into the darkness in a few jumps.

And the direction where it finally disappeared was exactly where the palace was.

……

In Hedong County, outside Wujiabao, a group of Hun cavalry walked towards the way they came, cursing.

Budu Te, the leading Hun centurion, waved his whip irritably and beat a cannon fodder slave who was brought to attack the city.

The slave was whipped and screamed at him, but he was unmoved and whipped harder. It seemed that only in this way could he vent his dissatisfaction a little.

Just now, they launched an attack on Wujiabao as they did a few days ago.

First, they drove the cannon fodder slaves to attack the city, and they used their archery skills to name the outcropping Song people under the city.

They have long been proficient in this set of tactics. According to normal circumstances, the defenders in a medium fort like Wujiabao will not exceed [-]. As long as they reduce the opponent's number to half, then Wujiabao will They will definitely be able to win.

It's nothing more than consuming more cannon fodder slaves.

Originally, with their numbers, they would not have attacked a medium-sized fortress like Wujiabao, but they received news that the Song people were also attacked by the Tatars.

Therefore, it is inevitable that troops will be sent to support the northeast side, so the guard force in the northwest will inevitably decrease. According to their investigation, the manpower of the Wujiabao has been reduced to about 100 people, and the rest should have been transferred away.

This is already the second day since they attacked Wujiabao. In a single day yesterday, more than 20 defenders of Wujiabao were named by them with arrows.

Seeing that if we work harder today, this fortress can be broken.

But what they didn't expect was that he found something was wrong just as the siege started today!
The number of arrows shot from the top of the city clearly far exceeds the number that the remaining people in Wujiabao can shoot.

What happened afterwards proved this point even more.

Yesterday, because of the lack of manpower, it was already a little careless and could only defend one fort wall, but today there are people guarding everywhere.

As soon as those cannon fodder slaves approached the city wall, a large pot of rich golden juice was poured from above, scalding the slaves who were attacking the city to death!
Even if it is not dead, it is not human.

During the period, they also took the opportunity to shoot a few arrows at the city wall, but all of them were blocked by the guards on the fort with shields, and no one was killed.

This situation continued until the [-] slaves they brought were almost exhausted, but there was no sign of the Wujiabao being breached before Budut finally reacted.

In just one night last night, the manpower of this Wujiabao was probably supplemented. Not only manpower, but judging from the situation of the siege just now, the originally insufficient defense supplies seemed to be sufficient.

The three hundred slaves I brought with me were consumed by others without even going up to the top of the city!
I'm afraid that all the people who were originally transferred have been transferred back.

But... how is this possible?

Isn't most of the people in Wujiabao transferred away?

When did this person suddenly come back again!
Don't they care about the Northeast side?
