Han Homeland.

Summary

Yun Lang is concerned about the Qi Duwei army's reliance on crossbows over traditional bows, driven by his insistence and Li Gan's attachment to his longbow. The crossbow's development has peaked, with historical references to its power, but the Qi Duwei army lacks the resources for advanced weaponry like the twelve-stone crossbow. Yun Lang's Iron Arm Crossbow is a modern version of the Divine Arm Crossbow, effective at close range. Huo Qubing and Yun Lang strategize on using limited resources for an upcoming battle, focusing on stealth and scavenging rather than direct confrontation. The narrative explores the socio-political dynamics of the Great Han, including the integration of Hu people into the army and the implications of a looming conflict over Cheng Yang Wang's treasures. Yun Lang reflects on the burdens placed on common people by military demands and the shifting power dynamics within the empire.
