The Best Fake Eunuch

And using boxcars to resist the Xianbo cavalry is just a leap of Xiao Chen.

There are actually many ways to deal with cavalry, such as the famous infantry phalanx, which consists of a large and dense square formation formed by a large number of infantry.

There are shield soldiers on the periphery, and behind the shield soldiers are pike soldiers. Countless spears protrude from the gaps in the shields. It looks like a giant hedgehog from a distance, so it is also called the hedgehog formation.

When the vanguard of the cavalry rushes over, they will be stabbed to death with spears, which will greatly destroy the impact of the cavalry, weaken their speed advantage, and thus change the situation of the victory and defeat of the two sides.

But if you want to deal with tens of thousands of cavalry, you need at least 20,000 infantry in formation, Xiao Chen doesn't have that many people.

Besides, this kind of tactics takes a long time to train, and Xiao Chen doesn't have that much time.

Another way to restrain the cavalry is to use longbows and crossbows as long-range attack weapons, especially the powerful and long-range crossbows, also known as the god-arm bows, which are simply the nemesis of cavalry!

At that time, Wu Jie, the great general of the Song Dynasty, used the God Arm Bow to the extreme, causing the mighty Jin Kingdom cavalry to suffer a lot.

However, the manufacturing process of the divine arm bow is extremely complicated, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources, and the requirements for archers are very high. Only first-class archers can operate the divine arm bow.

As a result, the Divine Arm Bow cannot form a large-scale system and can only be used in small quantities.

And the armored ballista designed by Xiao Chen, although it is somewhat difficult to manufacture, is very simple to use, because it is all operated through mechanisms. In theory, even an ordinary person can use it after a short period of familiarization .

Moreover, this armored ballista also has a very powerful defensive function, that is, to form a car formation. When fighting on the plains, there are no natural and dangerous mountains to rely on, and it is even more difficult to set up camps during the march.

But if there are enough ballistas, they can be concentrated on the periphery as a fence or even a city wall for defense, which is effortless and has a very good defensive effect.

When Qi Jiguang was fighting in the north, he used this box car defensive formation, and it was effective in his personal test. Qi Jiguang is the god of war, the method he came up with is impossible...

It would be no problem for Xiao Chen to learn from it.

But now he still has a big problem to solve, and that is military pay.

Fighting a war is the most costly thing. It is said that his troops have already spent more than 100,000 silver before they even set off!

Li Shi gave 500,000 yuan, but it was not enough at all.

Xiao Chen still plans to recruit soldiers, and the more the better, but if there is no money, he can't even recruit a fart.

Besides, who knows when this battle will end?

Every day people eat and feed horses are astronomical figures, plus the reward for killing the enemy, the pension of the deceased, the purchase of various military supplies, and the employment of thousands of civilians...

What the hell! No amount of silver is enough.

Adding up all his own money, there is still a small two million...

But my lord, I am now going to fight for you to fight with my life, why should I still use my own money, lord?

Li Wanjiang is a bastard who doesn't give a single penny, and Chen Wenqi also cried poorly to him. Now that he wants money, he can only go to the door to find those who owe money.

It's not easy either.

But Xiao Chen is a lunatic now, don't forget, in such a short few days, he has already offended three heavenly officials, the Minister of War, the Minister of Household, and the Minister of Industry.

In other words, even if he is not used to these three, who else can he get used to?

However, methods and methods are needed to get accounts, and blindly doing it will not work.

For example, Zhu Xiaochuan, the Marquis of Pingyang, owed more than one million taels of shit! Wu Zicheng, Wu Zhongze, Wang Anbang, Chen Wenqi, and Lu Jing all owed hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands. The former Minister of Household Affairs, Lu Jing, owed more than half a million taels.

Lu Jing and Wang Anbang belong to Prince Li Xian, and his people owe so much money, why do you think he wants this debt?

Everyone has a lot of wealth, thousands of hectares of fertile land, countless manors, and groups of wives and concubines. How dare they cry and say they have no money?

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, Xiao Chen does not believe it anyway.

You don't believe it, but you need evidence.

Now he doesn't have time to check the details of these guys, but he can go to Jinyiwei Town Fusi to find an acquaintance and ask...

When Chen Ming saw Xiao Chen coming in person, he knew that he must have something to do, and it would definitely not be a trivial matter.

Hurriedly retreated the crowd, and invited him to the secret room of the study, "Lord Xiao, our brother is a fateful friendship. Brothers know your situation, so just tell me, as long as I can help you, brother, I will definitely do it for you." !"

That means naturally, if brother I can't help you, don't complain.

"How about going to fight Yanyun County with me?" As soon as Xiao Chen opened his mouth, he almost scared Chen Ming to pee.

"Master Xiao, you are telling me to die!" Chen Ming's face turned pale.

It seems that the two are not close friends...

"Isn't it for you to make meritorious deeds?" Xiao Chen smiled, "I have already sent people to summon Lin Yue and Yue Zhonglin. These two brothers are willing to follow me to make meritorious deeds. I wondered how such a good thing would be. Can you leave your brother behind? That’s why I’m here to invite you to join.”

"Lord Xiao, let's stop joking, okay? I have an eighty-year-old mother and a baby in swaddling clothes. I really can't go with you." Chen Ming said with a bitter face.

"Look at the virtue you're scared of, you're not so ignorant, when we two brothers fought the enemy side by side, you didn't shrink back for a while!" Xiao Chen's words were clearly scolding Chen Ming. , but actually praised him.

"Lord Xiao, brother, I..." Chen Ming felt very pleasant when he heard it.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. In fact, I came to see you today because I have another matter to bother you..." Xiao Chen finally revealed the real purpose of this visit.

Just to ask Chen Ming for the black information about those princes and ministers who owed the treasury silver taels, and what is their real family background?

Are they as poor and white as they claim to be?

Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi is a special agency, they definitely have this kind of information in their hands, and it is very, very detailed.

"Lord Xiao, aren't you embarrassing my brother and me again? Leaking the information of Zhen Fusi, and the information of these important people, is a capital offense!" Chen Ming grinned again after hearing this.

"Forget it, I'll find someone else." Xiao Chen got up and left.

"Okay, my Lord Xiao, why don't you allow me to pretend to be difficult? So that you, Lord Xiao, can give me a favor." Chen Ming hurriedly hugged him, and forced him back to his seat.

"I'm not affectionate at all! Who made us brothers." Xiao Chen said.

"But this matter is really important. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't dare to give it even if I wanted to." After Chen Ming finished speaking, he opened a secret tunnel mechanism on the wall in front of Xiao Chen.

Lighting up an oil lamp, he crawled in with a cat on his back, searched for a long time before he took out a thick booklet, and solemnly handed it to Xiao Chen.
