Ma Chao strangled his mount, bent his left leg, and placed it horizontally on the saddle. He took out his short knife and picked his teeth. He watched Ma Yunlu turning around and lifting the crossbow, pulling the crossbow machine, and laughed with a sneer.
.
Using a crossbow on a horse can indeed shoot farther and more accurately, solving the disadvantages of some women not being able to drive a strong bow, but the shooting speed of the crossbow is too slow, far less than that of the bow. For women, even the commonly used four-stone crossbow is
It's a bit heavy, let alone a six-stone crossbow with a longer range.
Not everyone has the same talent as Ma Yunlu.
In his opinion, this is an unsolvable problem, and Ma Yunlu is wasting his efforts.
Although it was far apart, Ma Yunlu seemed to hear Ma Chao's disdain. He came back from the horse and ran past Ma Chao. He suddenly raised the crossbow, aimed it at Ma Chao, and pulled the crossbow machine.
Ma Chao was startled and bent over subconsciously, but forgot that his left leg was still on the saddle. He was slowed down and was shot directly.
There were no arrows on the crossbow arrow, but Ma Chao was not wearing armor, and his face changed color because of pain.
Ma Yunlu came back with his horse and stopped a few steps away.
"You're crazy." Ma Chao shouted angrily.
"Does it hurt?"
"Nonsense, let me shoot an arrow." Ma Chao said anxiously and bluntly.
He knew that Ma Yunlu was not in a good mood these two days, but she did it too much. He had a knife in his hand, almost cut his lips and destroyed his appearance.
"Yes." Ma Yunlu said: "You walk in front, I chase after you, and see who shot who first."
Ma Chao choked and glared at Ma Yunlu for a moment. "Besides, you can take advantage of it, so how can you do such a good thing?"
The range of the bow is far less than that of the crossbow. Even if he has the advantage of turning around, it is difficult to offset such a gap. Even if the accuracy of turning around is still far inferior to that of the crossbow. Especially when Ma Yunlu hides behind him,
He will be very upset.
After all, there are only a few people who can shoot from the left and right, at least he can't.
"Don't dare to compare?" Ma Yunlu smiled rare. "Then don't be too self-righteous in the future. You are the only one who is smart. Even the emperor will not easily reject any suggestions."
When Ma Yunlu mentioned the emperor, Ma Chao did not dare to be stubborn again. "Is this the emperor's suggestion?"
"It's my suggestion. The emperor thinks it's feasible, so let me try it first." Ma Yunlu raised the crossbow in his hand. "This is the crossbow I have modified, which is lighter and more accurate. As long as the distance is controlled, the advantage is obvious.
”
Ma Chao rubbed the pain and sat upright. "It seems that you are determined to be a general and refuse to enter the palace."
Ma Yunlu's eyes darkened. "The emperor said that there is no shortage of women in the harem, but there is not a single female general."
"There is no shortage of women in the harem. You always have to get married, right? Military households are all husband and wife. Who are you planning to marry?"
Ma Yunlu's eyes were filled with eyes. "I didn't say that the general who led the military households must be a couple. Can't I be alone?" After saying that, without waiting for Ma Chao to speak, he drove away, greeted Lu Xiaohuan and others, and left with his longevity.
.
"It depends on when you are stubborn!" Ma Chao said disdainfully, disturbed his hands again, and shouted loudly: "I have agreed with each tribe that you can pick people at any time."
"I understand." Ma Yunlu raised his hand, but did not look back.
Lu Xiaohuan urged Ma to follow and walked side by side with Ma Yunlu. "Sister, it's great to have a brother."
Ma Yunlu glanced at Lu Xiaohuan, but stopped talking.
Ma Chao was unresolved in many things, but he was really good to her. Although he strongly opposed her forming a female army and hoped that she would enter the palace to be a noble person, he still arranged around to help her find women suitable for joining the army from the Qiang and Hu tribes.
As of now, there are undoubtedly more women suitable for joining the army.
"Do you like it?"
Lu Xiaohuan was stunned and then raised his chest. "How is it possible? I will enter the palace in the future."
"Since you have joined the female army, you can't enter the palace."
"I joined the female army first, fought for a few years, and then retired and entered the palace." Lu Xiaohuan laughed and said, "I don't have the ambitions like you, and I am determined to be a female general."
Ma Yunlu rolled his eyes and ignored Lu Xiaohuan. She knew that it was not only Lu Xiaohuan, but many female officials actually had this idea. Being a knight was just a temporary interest, and it was definitely not a long-term solution.
She might be the only one who wants to be a female general and would rather not get married.
When she thought of this, she became even more depressed.
The horse ran away and returned to the imperial camp. As soon as he jumped off the horse, a maid came over.
"Mr., I have a welcome."
Ma Yunlu didn't ask much, and followed the maid to Xun Wenqian's tent next to him. Xun Wenqian didn't come for a long time, but she was appreciated by countless people, and Ma Yunlu was one of them.
Xun Wenqian was talking to Cai Yan, and the two were chatting and laughing. Seeing Ma Yunlu coming, Xun Wenqian stood up and invited her.
"Yunlu, sit."
Ma Yunlu took his seat and saluted Xun Wenqian and Cai Yan. Seeing that Cai Yan had no intention of getting up and leaving the table, he realized that this matter also had something to do with Cai Yan, and maybe it was also related to the emperor, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Yunlu, have your training been smooth these two days?"
"Thank you for your concern, it went smoothly. But the commonly used crossbow is too heavy and not suitable for women to use, so it needs to be modified."
"I'm asking you to come today, just to talk about this. What are your specific requirements for using a crossbow immediately? Draw a list and I'll send someone to Hedong. Maybe I can find a skilled craftsman to help." Xun Wenqian said with a smile.
: "If you want to talk about the place where the most skilled craftsmen are, Hedong is the main one. Not only Guandong, Guanzhong, but also some craftsmen who came from Jingzhou, but it is very lively."
When Ma Yunlu heard this, he couldn't help but be happy. "That's great. I'm worried about this. Thank you for your help."
Cai Yan said: "The noble man is not helping for nothing. She also wants to ask you for help if she has something to do."
Ma Yunlu said: "If you can serve noble people, you can't ask for anything, so how can you help me?"
"This is not the case. The minister and the minister are all ministers of Your Majesty, which is different from the six palaces. If there is no edict, it will be inconvenient for the nobles to speak. I invite you to come today because I want to ask your opinions. I will get your answer, and then
Ask the emperor for an edict to avoid making you embarrassed.”
Ma Yunlu was very curious. "What the hell is it?"
"The noble man wants to go around the surrounding tribes and see the living conditions of Qiang and Hu, especially the situation of a woman. I would like to ask you to protect him."
Ma Yunlu understood as soon as he heard this, and couldn't help but laugh.
These Kanto people are indeed good at being human. The emperor attaches importance to women and the education of Qiang and Hu, so they immediately followed up. Her brother Ma Chao is the Qiang-Guoying School Captain, and has a very good relationship with the Qiang and Hu tribe. It is naturally much more convenient to be with her.
.
"I can't find it."
"Since that's the case, I'll ask Your Majesty for an edict when I look back." Xun Wenqian smiled and looked at Cai Yan, then at Ma Yunlu. "You are all famous among women, and you will definitely be famous in history in the future, which will make you happy.
envious."
Cai Yan said: "There have been many female officials in ancient times, and there are many other people. What reputation can I have? Yunlu, who will be the first to fight on the battlefield in the future and be named a marquis and generals, is the first person in ancient and modern times.
”
Ma Yunlu said he didn't dare to be accused, but he felt much more relaxed.
Xun Wenqian smiled and said, "Although you are the general of the emperor, I cannot speak too much. But you and I are both women, so we naturally have to help each other. I don't have the knowledge of Zhaoji and can't help much, but I, Ah Weng,
Gudu is in Hedong and can do something. If you have any needs and it is not convenient for the emperor to issue an edict, you can tell me that I will do my best to help you."
Ma Yunlu was very grateful and thanked him repeatedly.
