"Wind...wind...sound..."

"The sound of the wind? What sound of the wind? Tell me clearly!"

"The sound of the wind..."

The seriously injured prisoner died. The soldier in charge of interrogation only heard the other party repeatedly saying the word "wind sound". He really couldn't figure out why the meaning of these two words was: What is the relationship between the wind and your tragic situation?

"Down a pit and buried him... Hey, use a knife to wipe his neck to avoid making a fool of himself."

"Is it all like this and I still pretend to die?"

"Stop talking nonsense, wipe your neck just in case."

The words that came from the prisoner's mouth were soon heard by the marching commander Yang Su. At this time, he was resting in the open-air camp, sitting on a stone, thinking about the meaning of the word "wind sound".

The enemy and us used Ruyin and Woyang as strongholds, and the east and west confronted each other. The main force of the army remained motionless, but the cavalry was not idle. Yuchi Youqi sent a large number of cavalry, using dozens of cavalry as a single strand, and divided into many strands to plague the territory controlled by Yuwen Wen.

The number of enemy cavalry was a headache for Yuwen Wen. Yang Su, who was supposed to harass the area controlled by Yuchi Youqi, had to lead troops back to the rescue, and it was divided into several groups to chase the invading enemy cavalry.

The cavalry has a large combat range against the cavalry, and it is common to run hundreds of miles in a day. This requires a high level of demand for the main general, but it is a piece of cake for Yang Su.

He once led troops to fight against Turkic cavalry. Huaibei area is nothing compared to the grassland. The powerful armed forces of the fortress are nothing compared to the Turkic cavalry. Yang Su divided his troops to hunt, winning more than losing less, until recently some strong enemies appeared, which forced him to be cautious.

In addition to fighting in Bian and Zheng areas with Yuchi Shun, some of the cavalry from Youyan entered Huaibei, obeyed orders under the tent of Yuchi Youqi, and then mixed in the middle of the fortress-powered armed forces to raid the territory controlled by Yuwen Wen.

These cavalrymen grew up on horseback, skilled in bows and horses, and had strong combat effectiveness in small teams. Yang Su's troops suffered several times in succession and adjusted their strategies in time to defeat many enemy cavalry in their own defense zone.

Today, the whistleman found a seriously injured enemy soldier by the river. Judging from his appearance, his ward was an enemy cavalry that was coming. It seemed that he had floated down from the upper reaches of the river. Because he was covered in blood, the whistleman probably experienced a fierce battle.

In the upper reaches, these days it is a "forbidden zone". The King of Xiyang sent people to spread Yang Su in advance, so there is no need to send troops there in the past few days. If an enemy invades from that area during this period, it is not related to Yang Su's business.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Su wanted to know what happened in the upstream area. As a result, the captive had a northern accent and said a few words, while the soldiers on his side only understood the word "wind sound".

Yang Su felt that the "sound of the wind" mentioned by the other party was most likely the sound of a bowstring. If many powerful crossbows were activated at the same time, the movements and stillness did sound like the sound of the wind.

As he thought about it, he looked at a cloth in front of him, with a few bloody leads placed in the cloth, which were cut from the dead captive, and some were embedded on the armor leaves.

The reason for doing this is because the soldiers noticed that there were many injuries on the other party, which were not caused by arrow shooting or knife cutting. Not only that, lead was inlaid on the deformed armor leaves.

There are many signs that the prisoner should have been shot by lead instead of arrows.

Yang Su looked at these leads and recalled the "wind" that the prisoners said, and then thought about the "forbidden zone" specially marked by the King of Xiyang, and soon made a judgment:

The King of Xiyang sent a team to meet the enemy in that area, probably using a special crossbow that can continuously fire lead. Because it must be kept confidential, it is clear that other troops are not allowed to enter that area.

Yang Su has seen and experienced the attainments of the military ordnance of King Yuwen of Xiyang, so if the King of Xiyang produces some amazingly powerful special crossbow, Yang Su will not doubt the actual combat effect.

Thinking of this, Yang Su became more and more interested: How powerful is that kind of special crossbow?

A messenger rushed to the camp. After seeing Yang Su, he conveyed the latest military order from King Xiyang: in the northern area, Yang Su's troops will continue to be responsible for defense.

General Yang Su gave the order to the military officer for 'archive' and asked the messenger: "What order does the king have?"

"General Manager Yang, the king said, blood is for blood, tooth for tooth, the human skin banner must be erected, the more the better!"

......

A small village next to a certain fortress, the marshal of the Southeast Road, and the Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen was inspecting the team. This team did not belong to the Southeast Road marshal, nor was it a righteous army or clan soldiers or barbarian soldiers. It had no official subordinates, and was completely Yuwen Wen's private soldiers.

But unlike the Hulin Army, this team is shameless. Specifically, the fighting style of this team is shameless.

At this time, the soldiers lined up in a neat row in the open space to be inspected by Yu Wen Wen. They participated in the battle for the first time and performed well. They were already very excited. Now they have been inspected by the Langzhu, and they all raised their heads and were excited.

"I have read everyone's report, and I have read it all, and I have written it very well."

After Yuwen Wen finished the inspection, he stood in front of the team and said loudly, "Especially, Yu An's report is very wonderful. After reading it, I felt like I was there."

Yu Ann, a soldier who was praised by the Lord, blushed with excitement. Yu Wen not only called him his name, but also praised several other soldiers. This made everyone more excited and stood upright with a bead gun.

The Shenji Camp under the command of King Xiyang used the "Chief of the First Year of Qianxing" as a weapon. This was the first time that the organization had organized the war. He went through four battles and killed 562 enemies, all of which were cavalry.

There were 482 soldiers from the Shenji Camp who participated in the battle, and none of them were killed except for the injured.

The soldiers of Shenji Camp are all very young, with very few people over twenty years old, with their names mainly "Yu" and "Wen", mixed with other surnames.

All the soldiers were orphans adopted by the King of Xiyang. Most of them were very young when they first adopted them. If they still remember their names, they would continue to use them. Those who could not remember their names would be named by the man and the mistress.

They are the orphan army of the King of Xiyang. They will do whatever the Lord asks them to do. Even if the Lord asks them to die, they will not hesitate at all.

After Yuwen Wen delivered his speech, he began to give rewards. The soldier who read the name came out and took the reward from him. The reward was a coupon for Xiyang Wangfu, and he could buy any daily necessities in the grocery store inside the Wangfu.

This is not the key. It is a very honorable thing to be able to get the Lord to give rewards and encouragement in person. Shenji Camp participated in the war in a confidential manner, so the soldiers shot so many enemy soldiers but could not be recorded in the credit book, so the rewards would naturally not be given much fanfare.

Yuwen Wen personally gave the reward. After the payment was finished, his arms were already a little sore and his throat was a little hoarse because he kept talking. When the team was disbanded, the soldiers went back to the barracks to rest, but he had no rest.

Turning into the barracks beside him, Yuwen Wen began to read the report. This was the summary of the operation after the Shenji Battalion participated in the war, including the statistics of the fault of the Lianzhu Gun. Looking at the numbers one by one, Yuwen Wen felt shocked.

The standard weapon of Shenji Camp is the Ganxing First Year style continuous bead gun, referred to as the Water-Lianzhu, which is a cross-age weapon improved on the basis of the orthodox seven-year style continuous bead gun.

Replaceable ammunition storage tubes, each ammunition storage tube has twenty ammunitions. In combat state, each soldier has two hundred ammunitions, ten high-pressure air tanks, and a firing rate of twenty rounds per minute. For light armor targets, the effective kill range is 75 steps; for heavy armor targets, the effective kill range is 20 steps.

This is the data in the experimental state. When participating in the battle, Shui Lianzhu's performance was comparable to expectations, achieving a record of zero casualties, but the failure rate was also comparable to expectations, which gave Yuwen Wen a headache.

The intensity of the four battles is high and low. So far, 60% of the water pearls have been malfunctioning. In other words, the Shenji Camp, which participated in the battle, has only been powerful for four small-scale battles.

There are only two options left for the use of Shenji Camp. Either continue to fight the "public security war" and retreat to Xiyang after fighting two more games; or start resting and join the battle during the decisive battle with Yuchi Youqi.

Of course, Yuwen Wen chose the latter, so the soldiers of the Shenji Camp would station in this fort and would no longer attack until the day of the decisive battle came.

During this period, military craftsmen would try to use the tools and accessories brought by them to repair the faulty water beads, but the number of repairs can be limited, which is better than nothing in general.

The failure rate is not low, which is the defect of the air gun. If it is replaced with a simple structure, the problem will be solved, but Yuwen Wen will not do this because he does not want the magic weapon to be used by others, and he does not want to cause the spread of technology.

If the air gun falls into the hands of others, it is impossible to imitate in large quantities because the technical threshold is very high. The fire gun will be different, and it will even make people draw cannons through the ordinary. For the Central Plains, the consequences are very serious.

The Turkic nomadic army holding muskets and using cannons to attack the city, or the Goguryeo city in Liaodong, is a nightmare for the Central Plains army.

Yuwen Wen would never let such a scene happen.

After reading it for an hour, Yuwen Wen was very satisfied with the conclusion of the report and summoned several young generals to enter. He once again reminded: "The Shenji Camp is stationed here, and I have arranged for other troops to defend it. Try to avoid too much contact with others on weekdays."

"Yes, the man!"
