Chapter 15

From a distance, Xu town is covered with people on the plain. They seem to form a four-way formation with 100 people, and 15 square formations form a "pin" shape. After learning some military books, he narrowed his eyes and thought, "this is an offensive formation? It seems that Liu Yan is very aggressive?"

There are formations. Unfortunately, there are no banners. Otherwise, we can see the scene of banners and moves, which will add a killing atmosphere to the military array.

"It's a pity that we can't set up any army." Xu Ming looked unlucky and said, "your surname is Liu. It's hard to talk to us later."

Xu Zhen said, "it was Liu Yan who took the initiative to invite him. Putting on such an array is just a bluff."

Is it so easy to be a military array? Without some knowledge of military strategy, the military array can never be displayed. With the knowledge of military strategy, the soldiers at hand have to be trained, or they can't show it at all.

Liu Yan spent nearly three hours for such a formation. Uncle and nephew Xu only saw the scenery, but he didn't see the chaos. And Liu Yan can put out such an array, there are still systematic soldiers to proofread. Jin soldiers can still look like a little when they are stationary. When they move, they should show their original shape immediately.

Uncle and nephew of the Xu family envy Liu Yan's ability to set up the army, but Liu Yan is envious of the Xu family's many cavalry.

Yes, Hu people are good at riding. Among the 500 people brought by uncle and nephew Xu, there are nearly 200 cavalry. They walk in a long snake formation. When they are close to one kilometer, they stop and then start to pile up. Although he still didn't play any tricks, it looked like that when the cavalry were in front and the soldiers were behind.

Close, about 250 meters apart, uncle and nephew Xu's team stopped, and the two sides looked at each other in silence.

"Did Uncle see it?" Xu Zhen pointed to those squares that seemed slightly agitated and said with a smile, "look goods are pulled to make up the number."

Indeed, originally, he could stand still. Uncle and nephew Xu came with people. Liu Yan's newly recruited soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were in a commotion, and then too many people spoke, so that there was a "buzzing" sound.

Liu Yan didn't say anything. LV Tai and Xu Zheng on the left and right sides were very ashamed. They bowed to Liu Yan and left with an angry look on their face. Soon, bursts of angry roars came from a distance.

To tell the truth, Liu Yan was also full of depression. He put on a joke and the deterrent power was greatly reduced. It is estimated that the Xu family will also leave an impression of being strong outside and weak in the middle.

Liu Yan thought a little too much. Few of them would set up an army these days. Uncle and nephew Xu was really shocked when he saw that Liu Yan knew how to set up an army. As for the commotion in the army? Even when a great general has waste wood soldiers.

Hu people put their horses south, the Western Jin Dynasty perished, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty survived. No one pays attention to the battle array in the war between the Central Plains and the north. Which time is not like a fight, but the difference is that the scene is relatively large.

Liu Yan drove his horse forward. Tian Shuo and 20 swordsmen came forward with him.

On the other side, uncle and nephew Xu also clapped his horse forward, but 20 cavalry followed.

The two sides stopped when they were five meters away from each other and habitually looked at each other.

Liu Yan doesn't look good at the Xu family. It seems that it looks like that.

Uncle and nephew of the Xu family were observing the 20 swordsmen. They looked at the swordsmen's armor with an expression of incomparable envy, and then looked at the long sword around their waist and the shield in their hands. To say that the thoughts in their hearts were thousands of turns, jealousy and confusion.

Zha armor is a better armor in the East, and it also occupied the mainstream of the Qin and Han Dynasties in the Chinese civilization. This kind of armour is so powerful that it was still active until the Song Dynasty. For example, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty swept through Europe because there were cavalry equipped with armor with people and horses. It is known as heavy riding with equipment. With the more mobile archers, it gave a clear lesson to the Europeans who are used to the hard to hard collision of "Chivalry". (the most powerful thing is to take it to the plague Dharma)

The Hu people are now the overlord of the Central Plains. However, due to the wanton destruction, the productivity of each political power of the Hu people has basically not changed much. It is still based on the style of the grassland. If you have a thick sheep fur jacket, you can wear armor.

The soldiers of Xu family that Liu Yan saw, except Xu Ming and Xu Zhen, were wearing Jin style... Maybe they should be called Hanfu? Except that Xu's uncle and nephew wore Han's military uniform with epithelial armor, the rest basically wore animal skin and sheep's fur jacket. He won't underestimate the defense of sheep's fur jacket. In fact, the defense of thick sheep's fur jacket is really good, but wearing sheep's fur jacket is really suffering when the weather is hot.

"Mr. Xu." Liu Yan bowed his hand on horseback and said in his mouth that he had a full Di accent: "when we get together today, I don't talk about anything else. I just ask you that a war with the Capricorn people is imminent. Where is the Xu family going?"

How else can we say that the degree of Sinicization is high? Xu Ming's posture of bowing his hands as a gift was very smooth, and said, "if you don't hide your steps, the Xu family won't help each other. However, if you lose the war, the Xu family will have to fall into a well."

"It's uncomfortable to hear, but it's better than reality!" Liu Yan "ha ha!" A burst of laughter. After laughing, he said, "today I'm invited to do business with the Xu family."

"We 'countrymen' with clear eyes never tell lies. Unlike the hypocrisy and politeness of the Jin people, we should say what we think." Xu Ming asked, "what kind of business?"

"I've heard that the Xu family is a big family in cabinet county. They have a large area of land in their hands, grazing a lot of cattle, sheep and horses?" Liu Yan looked around, motioned to the soldiers to hold a roll of package, twisted it, and only heard a metal sound. He threw the long package forward and waited for the package to make a dull sound before saying, "I'll exchange weapons for your cattle, sheep and horses."

Naturally, someone will run forward at Xu Ming's command, pick up the long package and run back to submit it.

It's not something else in the long package. It's a long sword without scabbard and a ring head knife. It looks simple, but it's full of "weight"!

Weapons! Hu people are not engaged in production. Although some Jin people can be used as labor, how many jin people know how to strike iron? If you know how to strike iron, you also need to know how to smelt. You need some skills before you can make weapons.

Changguang county is such a big county with a population of 50000 or 60000. In fact, none of them can make iron and smelt. Well, there must have been before, but Shi Hu has long been concentrated in the capital Xiangguo.

When Xu Ming saw the weapon that had been bladed, his eyes lit up and looked up at Liu Yan. He was a little short of breath: "how do you price it?"

"Regardless of category, 30 sheep, 10 cattle and 2 war horses are exchanged for one handle." Liu Yan took it for granted: "it's OK to change people, but as far as I know, the Xu family is only 700, and I'm sure he's not willing to change people."

In troubled times, only with weapons can we have strength, and only with strength can we grow. The Xu family is just a small cabinet county local snake. They don't know much truth, but they know the importance of weapons.

Liu Yan's offer is not expensive at all. He inquired very carefully from Tian Shuo. The price can be said to be absolutely fair.

"No problem!" Xu Ming agreed and then said, "I don't know when to trade and how much is the first trading volume?"

"But the owner of the Xu family said." Liu Yan looked like a light hearted man: "as for the trading volume, just say a number."

For a moment, Xu Ming was restrained, and his nephew was shocked. They are more confident about their speculation when they come. They think that there must be great forces behind Liu Yan, and they are not supported by ordinary great forces. Their fear increases, but their sense of expectation also increases.

"100 weapons. We took out 3000 sheep in exchange." Xu Ming looked forward: "how?"

All sheep? In fact, Liu Yan does not lack war horses. He has war horses, but no one can serve as cavalry. Therefore, there is no demand for war horses for the time being.

The war horse doesn't mention that the sheep can be slaughtered as a food unit. It's more sure that Liu Yan can't deal with the threat of his Chengjie people next.

In the end, they went back happily.

"Sir, can they... Believe it?"

"I don't have to trust them, just hold on for a while and wait for the threat from the city to be lifted. Then... Hehe!"

"Eh? You are wise!"

Liu Yan glanced at Tian Shuo who trotted with him. His eyes were full of disgust, but his mouth was smiling.
