Chapter 12 The Hunter and the Prey

"Deng Baijiang, how much pounds is your one-handed spear weighing?" Xu You looked at Deng Tao, who had not made any noise.

Deng Tao's voice was soft and long, completely in proportion to his appearance, and he said, "Forty-eight pounds!"

Fighting with a weapon weighing 48 pounds? Are you suffering from the biceps?

Xu You was dazed for a moment, and then he realized that according to the unit of measurement of this era, one pound was about 222.73 grams of later generations, which means that Deng Tao's one-handed spear weighed about twenty pounds. Don't underestimate these twenty pounds. Guan Yu's cold and beautiful saw that was blown into a flower in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was only more than forty pounds. In the era of cold weapons, one inch long and one inch strong, and he had the advantage in weight. Whether it was chopping or chopping, he could win more points based on white.

"But it is also made of fine iron?"

"It is made of the hundred-year-old tufted wood produced in Gunzhou, and wrapped in hundreds of steel. If the husband wanted to ask me if I could take Feiyao's spear and heavy arrow, I would not dare to deceive him, and I was only 30% sure!"

"Thirteen percent?" Feng Tong said sharply, "That doesn't mean that he is not sure at all?" As soon as he said that, Feng Tong seemed to have said something wrong. He looked at Deng Tao carefully. Seeing that his expression was nothing unusual, he immediately closed his mouth.

"Thirty percent is already good!"

Xu You did not pay attention to Feng Tong's small movements, and his attention was attracted by the "tuomu" mentioned by Deng Tao. Tuomu is also called golden wood. It is named because of the golden wire in the texture. It grows slowly and is extremely precious. It is known as "ten spears, nine bends, nine empty ones", so it is very difficult to find a spear pole with length, thickness, and curves that meet the requirements of a single-handed spear. Deng Tao must have taken a lot of effort to find the best-quality Gunzhou century-old spear. The price it costs is probably a surprising number.

However, Deng Tao is just a 100-year-old general. Where did he get his connections and money to create such a top-notch weapon?

Xu You looked at him inadvertently. If this person hadn't been the Yuan Mansion's army, he would have really doubted whether it was Feiyao among the Four Yao arrows. After all, in this era, giants over two meters tall would not be as common as land hooligans on the street market.

Deng Tao was calm and calm. Facing Xu You's scrutiny, he did not show any panic. Not to mention anything else, this calming effort is not like what an ordinary soldier should have.

"Zuo Junhou, where do you think we should start the arrangement?" Xu You suddenly turned his head and looked at Zuo Qi and asked.

Zuo Shi thought for a while, dipped his index finger in water, drew a curved line on several tables, and said, "This is Hongyezhu. If you walk more than ten miles from here, you will arrive at the Olebuchi Wharf. At that time, it was too late. Once it was night, your eyes could not see the objects. Our advantage of being crowded will be gone, and this will be lost. If you rush through the night, the waterway along the way will be rugged, and any location and direction may become the battlefield chosen by the other party. This will be lost.

The right place is to be successful; the right time and place are all lost. Facing a master like Siyaojian, the morale of the army will inevitably be disintegrated, so there is no one left. Langjun is a person who knows the art of war. Of course, he understands that even Wu'anjun can't win this battle even if he is reincarnated. In his humble opinion, it is better to rest at the Olezhu Wharf for one night and set off tomorrow morning. If the arrangement is made and the arrangement is appropriate, the Siyaojian will definitely make them come and go."

"The military guard is a man who knows the military!" Wu'anjun is Bai Qi from Qin State, a generation of war god. Xu You praised him and asked Deng Tao again, saying, "What do generals Deng think?"

"The subordinates only know how to obey orders, but they rely on the orders of the husband and the military officer!"

Xu You shook his head and said, "A person's wisdom is not as stupid as everyone's foolishness; one eye can see it as much as everyone's brightness. This time the enemy is very powerful, and it is the moment of life and death that can be gathered together. If a hundred generals think about it, please tell them bluntly, there is no need to avoid anything. I am not a narrow-minded person, nor are the military guards jealous of the virtuous and capable. Let's work together to overcome this difficulty!"

Deng Tao's eyes, which had been quiet and unpredictable, fainted, and bowed to Zuo Qiong for a while, and said, "Don't blame the military, because of his humble opinion, Siyaojian may be hoping that we will stay overnight at the Olebasa Pier..."

Zuo Qi frowned and said, "Why do you say that?" Although Deng Tao was under his command for a short time, he obeyed orders and was brave and good at fighting, and was highly appreciated by him, so he would not feel offended by raising objections.

"I just heard the seven assassinations that the military man said, some were in the important places in the army, some were in the high gates of Huafu, and some were in the wilderness, but the only thing that was not there was, but was on this vast river..."

Zuo Qi's eyes lit up, and he caught the meaning of Deng Tao's words, saying, "You mean, the Four Yao Arrows are not good at fighting in the water?"

"I am not sure about the post. Perhaps the targets of the previous assassination happened to be not on the waterway. However, today Yueyao suddenly shot this arrow, which seemed a bit rash. It was a little different from their previous plan and the killer would die. So it is very likely to be to alarm the snake, which made us panic and dare not rush to sail at night, so it was only at the olepine pier overnight..."

"You can't say that. It should be that Yueyao saw Langjun alone on the bow of the ship, thinking it was a God-given opportunity, so he took a chance."

"Yes, what the military officer said is not without reason!" Deng Tao did not argue. This person spoke and acted very sensible, and said, "But I am not afraid of ten thousand, but I am afraid that if there is a little possibility, I don't think I should take this risk, because once I fall into the trap, the olepine wharf will be our dead place."

He looked at Xu You and said, "Mr. Lang. I don't know much about Siyao Arrows, but since I can make such a big name in the world, my scheming, talent, and martial arts are all choices for the time being, and it is definitely not easy to stay in a place like Olezhu Wharf, where there are many people and fish eyes, and be careful and guard against them, it is better to rush all night and catch the other party off guard... Military waiting, although we can't see things at night, but the deep night will probably have a greater impact on Siyao's amazing archery. Moreover, after passing Olezhu Wharf, it is the calm Caohe River with a wide river surface and a wide view. Siyao Arrows really want to attack this section of the river. There are more than 100 plots on the ship, and they are not afraid of them..."

Zuo Qi felt that Deng Tao's words also made some sense, and hesitated for a moment, and said to Xu You for a moment: "Mr. Deng Bai is brave enough to take risks, but I prefer steady. Think about it carefully, I still want to stay overnight at the olepine wharf. It doesn't matter if you are mixed with fish. Just spread the cordon, clear the idle people, and then arrange the defense rotation, so that the assassin will be impeccable."

Xu You stood up, paced back and forth a few steps, suddenly turned around and said seriously: "What the military officer and the hundreds of generals said make sense, but your starting point is to defend. However, judging from the previous record of Siyaojian, what they are best at is to assassinate the target in the secret room from strict defense. Therefore, it is not possible to defend against these four people alone. Whether it is staying overnight in the oleban pier or sailing overnight, it may be under the opponent's calculations. So if you want to win this game, the first thing you have to do is to fight too much and also give them a warning..."

Zuo Qi and Deng Tao all looked over and listened to Xu You's next words.

"The military strategy says 'use the right combination to win with a strange victory'. If you want to win, you must use strangeness!" Xu You said firmly: "Zuo Qi, Deng Tao, follow the order!"

The two stood up at the same time, stood upright, clasped their fists and bowed their heads, and said, "Abide by the orders of your husband!"
