1790 The Ambition of Central Belgium (II)
"Oh my God...... What kind of weapon is this......!" Gongsun Liangbiao, who was sitting opposite Xu Dongli, was even more exaggerated than Xu Dongli, his mouth was wide open, and his bloodshot eyes were staring at the fat man who casually overturned a hundred-pound wild boar, he was a little unpleasant when he saw these arrogant and domineering black-armored cavalry, he was the accompanying military attache of the mission, and he was also the top number of the young people in the Hundred Miles Court, and he thought that he could pull the strongest bow, but it was impossible to nail a hundred-pound black boar to the ground with one arrow, which was already a bit beyond the scope of his cognition
Gongsun Liang was shocked by the violence of this weapon, Xu Dongli was attracted by this weapon, he was born as a forger, far better than Gongsun Liang's meritorious son, he knows the horror of long-range killing weapons, he once had a confrontation with the grassland people on the northern battlefield, and saw with his own eyes how the infantry regiment of the empire collapsed countless times before the long-range shots of the grassland people flying in the sky, such a sharp weapon, it appeared in the hands of such a barbarian, it was really tyrannical...... Xu Dongli's heart was dripping blood, and his head was full of words from the teacher who was angry and vomited blood when Beiqing, an important town in the north, was lost
"The steppe cavalry started in the bitter cold and strange land, living in a harsh environment all the year round, full of barren grass, the sky and the earth, all the food must be taken from the heavens, people live there, can live is a hero, the grassland people tempered in the struggle of life and death, it is not the agricultural race that lives in the fertile inland areas can be compared, the grassland people are the most terrible nation, so strong that the Central Bia region has been at war with it for thousands of years, even if there is an occasional opportunity to hit hard, after more than ten years, it is a new generation of grassland heroes who are more ruthless than the previous generation, tenacious and tenacious, violent and ferocious, these people are born warriors, and can fight more than thousands of miles without any supplies。 Long-range cavalry archery with excellent mobility is a nightmare for all inland arms! The catastrophe that occurs once every 100 years cannot be stopped even if a wide wall is erected, and in order to restrain the steppe people, only more fierce warriors and sharper cavalry and archery ...... than the steppe people."
Completely ignoring the shocked expressions of the others, the two Guards cavalry under the command of the fat man had already let out a cheer, and the hooves of the horses flew towards the neck that had been shot through the thick mud by an arrow
The big boar, whose entire huge body was deflected, struggled frantically when he saw someone approaching, and the big boar with arrows stuck in his neck. Probably sensing the coming of the apocalypse, two small short hooves frantically shaved the ground, a guard jumped off the war horse briskly, neatly drew a cold arc long sword, and slashed at the wild boar that was still struggling to arch people, killing people on the battlefield without blinking, killing a wild boar is even more so, the wild boar let out a miserable cry before dying, leading the nearby passing caravans to the side. "What a bunch of barbarians!" A young nobleman in the caravan was so frightened by the violence in front of him that his face turned white, "Young master, you can't talk nonsense, these are all people in the army!"
The old housekeeper next to him hurriedly reminded that the entire western part is now controlled by the Falcon Empire. The Black-Armored Cavalry of the Falcon Empire swept through the northwestern part of Obaros in just two years, and the fame was so famous that even crying children could stop crying, and the curious merchants and nobles were already frightened one by one, and they went through a whole month of bloody purge on the part of Gaul. Countless Northwesterners were beheaded and driven out of Gaul, and even those Northwestern merchants and nobles who had been hostile to the rise of the Falcon Empire were outraged, regardless of their previous status. At this time, there was no doubt that they had leaned to the side of the Falcon Empire, and the merchants asked the empire to send troops to severely punish the atrocities of the Gauls! Some of the northwestern kingdoms that had joined the empire also offered to join forces in the crusade against Gaul.
"Poof!"
Blood shot out from the boar's wounds, and the boar fell to the ground in pain.
The guard skillfully tied the big boar that had lost his strength with a rope, and the horse dragged back with a puff of smoke and dust, and the wild boar snorted for a while, and finally lost his voice, and the fat man jumped off the horse, pulled out his arrow cluster from the neck of the wild boar, and muttered "The penetration is good, but the power is still not enough"
The fat man tilted his head with regret on his face, inserted the arrow cluster into the quiver, and looked not very satisfied, and then looked at the bloody wound on the boar carcass that had been torn open by the crossbow arrow, and his eyes flickered, as if he was examining a failed work,
The arrow just now is indeed a bit ferocious, the heavy boar skin can't block the heavy crossbow at close range, the arrow cluster directly from the neck turned over the sebum penetrated, from the other end of the thick neck, the powerful arrow cluster with the boar blood inserted into the soil, the wild boar weighing 100 catties can't stand this, directly took away a piece of meat, just now that the arrogant posture is not afraid of people, it is enough to show that this arrogant guy is used to being arrogant nearby, and today he hit his own hand, and he deserves to be unlucky! It happened to be used to test the latest type of infantry crossbow sent by the research institute,
The fat man is never an idle boring hunter, according to his words, only the kingdom is qualified to be called his own prey, lazy people do not like to hunt this kind of activity, the crossbow held by the fat man is not the assault crossbow used by other guards cavalry, accustomed to the insidious fat man who is not worth his life, disgusted with the poor penetration of the assault crossbow dedicated to the cavalry assault, in the face of heavy armor targets can not achieve the effect of killing with one arrow, has always used the infantry foot heavy crossbow equipped with the heavy crossbowmen of the imperial infantry legion, the infantry foot crossbow is heavy, just by the fat man feels that the hand is right, and can at any time put forward valuable suggestions for improving the infantry crossbow on which the imperial infantry depends for life and death,
For example, the current one, which is the infantry crossbow improved type four just sent from the research institute, in view of the power of the imperial crossbow has increased to the limit, the fat man's requirements for the improvement of the infantry crossbow are also changing, from the power to easy operation, the soldiers of the empire need to have rapid combat effectiveness, which is the direction of the reform of the imperial army,
The Infantry Crossbow Type 4 was improved in this way, eliminating the range and penetration requirements for elite marksmen, and instead improving the speed and stability of the arrow required by ordinary marksmen
According to the fat man's suggestion, the research institute installed a more labor-saving pulley lever for the four-type pedal crossbow, and the position of the crossbow handle also appeared with a triangular bracket notch, this small change immediately greatly increased the shooting accuracy of ordinary crossbowmen, even a recruit, in the case of basic operation proficiency, can also use the four types to hit targets 50 meters away,
If you are a skilled crossbowman, the shooting accuracy can be raised to 100 meters. This is in the past, but the shooting accuracy of elite crossbowmen, although the range of infantry crossbows is about 200 meters, but when it comes to accurate shooting, it is quite good to be able to make ordinary soldiers reach 50 meters, even if you take a modern rifle, if you want to hit a target of 50 meters without a standard crosshair, it is also a very difficult thing, the previous elite crossbowman range is 100 meters to shoot the human body, and it is a marksman who wears Yang in 100 steps. And such a marksman is only a thousand crossbowmen in the Falcon Empire's more than 100,000 crossbowmen.
With the effect of the four types, the appearance of these elite crossbowmen is even more terrifying, it is really not a myth that an arrow pierces the throat from 150 meters away, it is a nightmare for the enemy commander, the first target of these marksmen is always the most conspicuous commander among the enemy, in this era of cold weapons, the identity of the commander is very recognizable. The kind of gorgeous armor with the family's heraldic flag on its body and polished that can't be used as a mirror is often the unlucky guy who seals his throat with an arrow from an elite crossbow shooter.
"The power of the infantry crossbow type four is weakened though. But it is also capable of penetrating heavy infantry armor within 100 meters, and the infantry heavy crossbow against the enemy's heavy armor troops is to have such an effect, otherwise. That's a joke with the lives of soldiers!" The fat man casually threw the infantry crossbow type four to the guards, "Okay, drag it to the river, and drain the blood! I will count on it to fight for the tooth tonight!" the two guards looked happy. dragged the carcass of the wild boar and ran to the river not far away, and ran behind His Majesty's ass for most of the day, ready to gnaw on the marinated dried meat, and now sent such a big meal, everyone is happy,
The fat man turned over from his horse, and glanced at the Central Biya caravan not far away, intentionally or unintentionally
"Your Majesty, do you need me to ask?"
The captain of the guard who followed behind him asked in a gloomy voice, just now he noticed that this caravan of the Central Beians was unusual, and he did not see the carriage loaded with goods, and more than thirty people in Central Beanian costumes were guarding next to a carriage, and the people in the carriage were looking at this side with a burning gaze,
These Zhongbians are so bold, in the entire northwest, no one has ever dared to pay such attention to the army except for the spies, let alone the guards of His Majesty the Emperor!
"No, just don't know the rules, let's keep going, we're short on time"
The fat man shook his head slightly, he still had to rush to the southwest capital 20 miles away to watch the performance of the Doroc Cloud Performance Troupe led by Messi Jielin, there is no need for side effects, Messi Jielin's performance troupe finally landed in Obaro in mid-July, and it has been performed twice, sensational effect, once in the northwest sea city, once in Rwanaka on the coast of the sea city,
In addition to the large-scale transfer of the army, now the eyes of the entire Northwest are focused on the performance troupe,
I always thought that the Falcon Empire was an Obaro who only knew how to kill, and I was also greatly shocked by the performance troupe, Messi Jielin's dazzling Merlin Sky Dance, the peerless voice of the tulle flowers as beautiful as the whispers of the sky, plus the huge performance team of more than 300 people from Salander that Nilai specially joined in, the bloodthirsty style of the Falcon Empire army has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the recent movement of the Falcon Army has become more and more frequent, and the atmosphere in the southwest has also reached the point of sabre-rattling, and the Imperial Legion is mobilizing to the north one by one, even the merchants know that the empire is going to war against the Gauls, and Messi Jielin's performance troupe came to the southwest capital, so that the tense atmosphere eased a little,
For the culturally barren Northwest Territories, it is definitely a huge cultural shockwave, making the natives of the Northwest see that their jaws are all over the ground. No one will ever think that the Falcon Empire is just a bunch of butchers who can only cut people around, it turns out that there is such a bright cultural light, the Salander Sky Cult is expanding rapidly in the northwest region, and the area that has just experienced war is just the soil for the development of the Sky Sect, with a bit of deception and romantic teachings, so that many people in the northwest feel yearning and intoxicated, and some cities in the northwest can see the temple of the Sky Sect, "That lord, please stay! We are the mission of the Central Beak Empire, I don't know if I can say a few words!"
The fat man didn't want to cause trouble, but Xu Dongli and Gongsun Liang didn't think so, they looked at the fat man's black hair that only Zhongbiya would have, his eyes flickered, Xu Dongli got off the carriage, and walked towards the fat man, Gongsun Liang, who was the deputy envoy, followed behind him, and the two of them had a look of ambition just now, and the fat man's black hair made them think that this officer should be a descendant of the Zhongbiya people, which is easy to do, since he is a descendant of the Zhongbiya people, he will inevitably help Zhongbia. This is the habitual thinking of the Central Beyans,
The Central Belgians who pay attention to their identity always stubbornly think that as long as the other party has the blood of Central Belgium in their bodies, they will treat the requests of the same Central Belgians very politely, and they will not hesitate to stick a knife in the ribs of Central Belgium.
The fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he grabbed the war horse violently, if it wasn't for the sentence "The envoy group of Zhongbia?", he would definitely ride his horse directly and flick his tail, leaving the other party with a speechless look of dust. He turned his head to look at Xu Dongli and Gongsun Liang, and said in a condescending cold voice, "I hope you are not lying, and show proof to explain your intentions, otherwise, I don't mind ordering you to be killed directly!" "You...... As a Zhongbian bloodliner, if you say such a thing, aren't you afraid of turning your back on your ancestors?" Xu Dongli didn't expect that the other party had no consciousness of Zhongbiya descendants at all, staring at the fat man's cold face. Fingers trembling slightly pointed at the fat man, trembling with anger, Xu Dongli's words just fell, and the guards behind the fat man had unceremoniously pulled out their swords, "Presumptuous! Do you know who you are talking to" The guards don't care about the name of the Central Bia Mission. The murderous intent on each of their faces was about to overflow, and the black hair of the Falcon Majesty was given by God, does it have anything to do with the Central Beians? As soon as His Majesty's little hand moved, the guards would unceremoniously chop this guy who offended His Majesty into a pulp
"I am the envoy of the Central Biya Empire, you don't have the courage to kill me!" Xu Dongli straightened up. With an arrogant face, although the Falcon Empire gave him a great shock, it could not shake the pride of superiority in his heart, except for the Central Biyans, all other races are barbarians,
"Kill them all! It's just a group of emissaries, what's the big deal, after all of them are killed, the corpses can be found!" the fat man deliberately pretended to be vicious, and ordered the guards,
"Don't. We have the seal of His Majesty the Emperor of Central Belgium as proof! There are also the documents of the mission, we are really the envoy group of Central Belgium." The deputy envoy Gongsun Liang was so frightened that he shuddered, he was just a gentleman of the 100-mile Changting Court in Kyoto, although he was born as a military attaché, in fact, he had never even been on the battlefield, and he was forced by the murderous aura on the guard to even stop his heartbeat, and he didn't wait for the stubborn Xu Dongli to speak, so he hurriedly shouted, he was afraid that if he shouted later, he would really be cut into meat sauce by the other party without knowing the so-called, and the death would be too unjust, in this foreign land thousands of miles away, and a fool who also pays attention to the backbone of a big country, such a person must not live long,
He hurriedly took out a goose-yellow silk scroll from the carriage, raised his trembling hands above his head, and walked by the guard's low Xueliang war knife, not daring to look at Xu Dongli's angry gaze that could burn himself, the fat man unceremoniously picked up the yellow scroll with a horsewhip, just glanced at it and threw it to the guard next to him
The seal of the Emperor of Central Bea...... What the hell! The crooked and distorted one reminded the fat man of the oracle bone inscription of the previous life, this awkward thing, let's leave it to the woman to identify,
The fat man ordered the guards cavalry to bring the Central Biya mission, Xu Dongli stubbornly wanted to show resistance, but was smashed by a guard to be honest, and after getting into the carriage, he scolded Gongsun Liang, who was ashamed in front of him, for insulting the name of the Central Biya Empire in front of the barbarians.
The cavalry went all the way west along the wide trade road that was only completed in July, and there were more and more caravans on the road, and the carriages of goods began to become permanent, and every time they arrived in a large town, there would be a group of merchants who brought empty carriages to pick up the goods, and out of the merchants, a large area of military camps appeared on the flat land in the field, and the war horses were Xiao Xiao, and the neat soldiers lined up under the sun, with the password like countless black lines in the staggered, combined, many curious merchants watched the troops drill while resting on the side of the road, and some women shrank in their carriages without showing their heads, just curiously looking into the distance"What nonsense!" Xu Dongli also looked out the window and scolded Gongsun Liang, he finally felt better, and then looked at the soldier training of the Falcon Empire, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "Training soldiers does not train combat skills, but trains these useless fancy things, even if it turns out a flower, what can it be, can it still use such a queue to defeat the enemy on the battlefield?"
Just when he wanted to continue to attack to offset the humiliation he had suffered, his gaze paused slightly
He saw the soldiers in the line neatly moving forward and forward, stepping from dry ground into the waterhole next to him, and the water in the waterhole gradually overflowed the soldiers' ankles, knees, and waists, but the officer who shouted the order did not stop at all, and was still shouting two passwords in a monotonous manner, and the soldiers did not hesitate at all, and still moved forward in order...... The water reached the neck of the shortest soldier in the queue, and the officer shouted to turn around, and the neat queue stepped out of the waterhole meticulously, and the soldiers and officers were soaked, and the water dripped on the ground, forming a water stain, but none of the soldiers moved without permission, and the queue turned around and continued to walk towards the waterhole......
Xu Dongli's face changed, his sneering face began to become solemn, he could feel that in the simple password, there was a trembling horror, as soon as the order was issued, the mountains collapsed without stopping, this is the fierce soldiers that many generals dream of, but these soldiers are obviously just recruits who have just joined the army! There are tens of thousands of such soldiers here! (To be continued......
