Chapter 17 He wants to become the brightest pearl of this era.
"good."
Zhao Shu did not refuse. As a man, how could he refuse such a weapon with astonishing lethality like a crossbow.
The crossbow is the gun of this era, and it is the favorite of men.
Zhao Shu knew his own background. He could only practice crossbows, not bows. Being a qualified archer not only required amazing arm strength, but also required long-term training.
Becoming a qualified archer is as difficult as becoming a sniper in later generations, but the requirements for crossbows are not so stringent.
Standing at the shooting range, Zhao Shu, under Gui's guidance, controlled the crossbow machine, aimed through Wangshan, activated the machine gun, and the crossbow arrows burst out.
The arrowhead pierced the air, and the bowstring rebounded and rubbed violently with the air, making a sharp whistling sound.
"Peng!"
The arrow hit the target, and the terrifying penetrating power caused the arrow to penetrate the target directly. Zhao Shu was extremely shocked when he saw this scene.
The camp he was in was a group of heavily armed crossbowmen. Each soldier wore composite armor and held a powerful crossbow.
If this is the case, the heavily armed crossbowmen form an independent phalanx, which will be devastating when advancing, and rock solid when retreating.
Most importantly, the crossbow machine gives them super long-range strike capabilities.
At this moment, Zhao Shu seemed to have seen the scene of Meng Tian in Mobei, killing the Huns cavalry with an arrow formation. This was also a rare victory of infantry against cavalry in Chinese history.
"How do you feel?" Gui looked at Zhao Shu who turned pale: "I don't have much experience this first time. The recoil of this crossbow is very strong."
"When you get familiar with it and get used to it, you will get used to it."
Rubbing his shoulders, Zhao Shu smiled and said: "The lethality of the crossbow is amazing. Thank you, Captain, for letting Shu know it."
"Haha, I have been here since you were here, so I naturally know what is on your mind." Gui smiled, a hint of darkness appearing in the depths of his eyes.
As a warrior, he naturally longs for the battlefield, especially now when the Qin Dynasty sends troops to destroy the country and unify the Central Plains.
Everyone knew that such a situation would only happen once, and no one wanted to be involved in such a magnificent scene.
However, they are the capital army and are destined to miss the chance.
In the camp, after receiving the armor, Zhao Shu began to learn how to operate the crossbow, how to act, and how to coordinate with the formation.
Training is brutal.
Even the training in the Crossbow Battalion is far more cruel than that in the Death Soldier Battalion. Both the queue and the march need to be neat and rhythmic.
The most important thing is that even loading and unloading the crossbow machine needs to be completed within the same time to ensure that the entire formation is tidy.
Days pass by day by day.
In half a year, Zhao Shu traveled throughout the capital army and even stayed in the shogunate for seven days, serving as the commander of the central army and delivering various military orders.
It was at this time that Zhao Shu deduced the attack on the city that day, and took himself as the commander-in-chief to capture the city.
He also finished reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu.
In Lishanling District, Gu couldn't help but feel filled with emotion as he looked at the young man in front of him. His terrifying learning ability and amazing patience made the young man in front of him unfathomable.
"Five hundred master techniques, the young master wants you to come over." Gu opened his mouth and explained his intention.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your help."
Gu taught him a lot, and Zhao Shu was grateful. During this period, everyone he met was his noble person.
Although it was due to his own ability, if it weren't for the generous teachings from Gu and others, he would not have grown to this point in half a year.
It can be said that apart from the memories of future generations in his mind, after half a year of study, Zhao Shu is already an authentic Qin man.
A man of Qin Dynasty.
Entering the shogunate in Lishanling District, Gu Xian went in and saluted Zhang Han: "Young Master, five hundred masters have been brought here, and they are outside the shogunate."
"Well, please keep an eye on the prisoner and let Zhao Shu come in." Zhang Han nodded.
"promise."
Gu walked out of the shogunate and looked at Zhao Shu: "The young man lets you in, please be respectful."
"promise."
Nodding, Zhao Shu walked into the shogunate and saluted Zhang Han: "The five hundred masters have met the young master!"
Hearing this, Zhang Han looked at Zhao Shu and nodded slightly: "Zhao Shu, you are very good. I have seen your efforts and persistence in the past six months."
"Now, I can give you a chance. Follow me to meet a person in a while. If you get his approval, you may be able to set foot on the battlefield."
At this moment, Zhao Shu was overjoyed.
He thought to his heart that he had been working hard for half a year just to wait for Zhang Han's words. At this time, Zhao Shu's cheeks were red with excitement and his tone became impassioned: "Zhao Shu thanks you so much for your help. Zhao Shu will never forget this kindness."
.”
"Well, as long as you are willing."
So Zhang Han took Zhao Shu to Xianyang City. He had been working as a coolie in the valley of Lishan Mountain since he came to Daqin. Suddenly seeing such a big city, he couldn't help but yearn for it.
The smell of the city and the bustling atmosphere are fascinating.
However, Zhao Shu didn't have time to linger, so he was taken into Tingwei's Mansion by Zhang Han and met Li Si.
"Zhao Shu, this is Li Si, the great Qin court captain. He is also the one who has always valued you and proposed that you join the capital army." Zhang Han nodded towards Li Si and then introduced him to Zhao Shu.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu glanced at Li Si, then quickly lowered his head, saluted Li Si, and said: "Zhao Shu thanks Tingwei for your support. Zhao Shu will never forget this kindness."
"In the future, as long as the Tingwei and the young master have incentives, Zhao Shu will not hesitate to die!"
"Haha..." A burst of laughter came, and Li Si's cold voice sounded: "Let's wait until you come back alive to talk about it!"
"When I do things, I only look at the results."
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zhao Shu stopped talking and waited aside. He knew in his heart that the two men in front of him were both future bosses.
Especially Li Si.
Assisting the First Emperor and single-handedly building the framework of the entire Qin Empire, Zhao Shu greatly admired Li Si's talents.
"My dear, please take this son to buy some new clothes, and then send them to the battlefield of Zhao State and hand them over to General Yang Duan and General."
Li Si's words decided Zhao Shu's fate. In response to this, Zhao Shu bowed deeply to Li Si and Zhang Han, and then left with his elders.
Sometimes, actions are more pertinent than words, not to mention, Li Si has already said that he only cares about the results.
Zhao Shu understood the meaning of Li Si's words.
He gave him a chance, but whether it was worthy of his attention depends on whether Zhao Shu can survive on the battlefield of Zhao State and whether he can make contributions on the battlefield of Zhao State.
For someone like Li Si, who aims at the Prime Minister of Qin, he wants followers who are capable and can help him at critical moments, not wastes.
Trash doesn't deserve to be with him.
Thoughts flickered in his heart, and Zhao Shu became even more excited. In this era of many heroes and heroes, in this era of great strife, everything is possible.
He wants to become the brightest pearl of this era.
