Chapter 716: Elephant Soldiers
The two principals of the Kuai family and the Qin family both spoke like this, and the rest of the people naturally understood the truth.
Even some people are reluctant and have to follow the pace of the Kuai and Qin families. Otherwise, what if I am wearing small shoes in the future?
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly with a smile on his face towards the two principals of the Kuai family and the Qin family.
This time, thanks to the fact that the two of them raised it so high at the beginning, and the people after them had to grit their teeth to follow this amount, there were so many results.
There's no way, they're all first-class families, and people have donated 50 million, you can't donate one or two thousand, right? And isn't this a slap in the face of Zhuge Liang?
And the amount of the first-class family is set, and the next ones are naturally sorted according to the level, and no one dares to fall behind, which is also a wordless tacit understanding between the families.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang gained a lot this time, and easily overfulfilled Yuan Shu's task.
However, this is not what makes Zhuge Liang the most happy. What he is most pleased with is that the families have been completely split, Yuan Shu, the choice of the top ten families before, has actually been planning this, and now the contradictions between the families have finally broken out on the bright side.
The Qin family and the Kuai family basically stepped on the interests of the family class and gained Yuan Shu's trust. The trust and unity between the families is about to cease to exist, and the families are about to completely lose their confrontation capital in the face of Yuan Shu, and they are at their disposal.
"Today's play is very good, and from now on, the supreme power of the southwestern countries is completely in your hands."
After the meeting, Xun Yue, who had been hiding behind the curtain and drinking tea, couldn't help but admire.
"Thanks to your old advice." Zhuge Liang said respectfully.
The more he understood, the more he felt the unfathomable and vast wisdom of the old man in front of him, and the admiration in his heart was even greater.
"I'm old, I can't keep up with the times, and that's all I have in my belly, or it won't be long before I am afraid I won't be able to teach you." Xun Yue said with a wry smile.
Zhuge Liang sighed at the depth of his accumulation, and he couldn't sigh at the demonic nature of Zhuge Liang. However, in just a few months, Zhuge Liang has grown at a rate almost one day at a faster rate under his guidance, and now even he can't see through it. At this time, he was deeply glad that Zhuge Liang was not born decades earlier, otherwise many Wenchen in the world would probably become a foil.
"The Central Plains must be, Yuan Highway will no longer have the possibility of failure, the world will be unified in a few days, and there is not much time left for you to prepare." Xun Yue said.
"Liang understands that after the unification of Great Chu, this will be the front line of the conquest of the Baicheng Dynasty and the Kushan Empire. Ryo has already started to prepare. ”
Xun Yue nodded slightly, Zhuge Liang was cautious and long-sighted, which reassured him.
"You should know about the situation of the Hundred Vehicles Dynasty and the predecessor of Guishan." Xun Yue suddenly turned around.
"You mean to talk about the Mauryan Dynasty."
A hint of appreciation flashed in Xun Yue's eyes, Zhuge Liang is always so smart, and he can see through it at all.
"The armies of the Baicheng Dynasty and Kushan are not strong, but that doesn't mean we can't learn something from them. At that time, the Mauryan Dynasty was a huge empire that was not much weaker than the Qin State, and its military was strong, especially the bow and crossbow. And their elephant soldiers are a must. There are a lot of giant elephants in Nanban, and it would be a pity if they couldn't make good use of them. Xun Yue said.
When it comes to Nanban, Zhuge Liang can't help but feel a little sorry in his heart. King Mulu's beast control technique is indeed powerful, and it is very useful in controlling snakes, insects, rats and ants in detecting the enemy's situation, so Yuan Shujun has hardly encountered an ambush since then.
However, it is precisely because of the powerful effect of this beast control ability that Zhuge Liang and others are more and more regretful.
Detecting the enemy is just the most basic role of the beast control technique, such as the ability to control the elephant, rhinoceros and tigers, if you can give full play to it, it can definitely be used as a trump card, and if it is used well, it is no less than a military soul army.
But it's a pity that the flaws of harnessing these beasts for combat are too great. Because the beasts are naturally afraid of fire, just like the tricks used by Zhuge Liang when he broke the Southern Barbarians in the romance, as soon as the fire was released, these beasts were suddenly in chaos. If this problem cannot be solved, I am afraid that these beasts will trample through their own camp before they can rush into the enemy camp.
It's like the fire bull array arranged by Hetiandan, and it has become, and it is naturally infinitely powerful and famous, but if it is defeated... In addition to the history of how many can be arranged into a fire bull array? No one would dare to do this unless it was a desperate situation.
The embarrassment that Yuan Shu is facing now lies in this, he doesn't need to gamble, let alone gamble, so the fierce beasts of the Southern Barbarians can't use it at all. But Zhuge Liang and Xun Yueke, who are located here, have never forgotten this matter, and it is not after reading the classics of the Peacock Dynasty left behind by the Baicheng Dynasty that they are even more concerned.
"At the height of the Mauryan Dynasty, there were more than 9,000 war elephants, which could not only be used for melee combat, but also equipped with giant crossbows, and this is where we need to pay attention." Xun Yue said in a deep voice.
Xun Yue thought about the elephant soldier's use of melee charges for a long time, and finally gave up this idea, the reason is very simple, there are too many weaknesses. Although the power is good, it is not worth it compared to its many fatal weaknesses. It is better to get more heavy cavalry, and the cost of raising elephants is not cheaper than that of heavy cavalry.
However, if the Elephant Soldier is listed as a ranged strike unit, it is different.
"The elephant soldiers themselves are top-notch in melee combat, but they are easy to fight without distinguishing between us and the enemy, and injuring our soldiers. But if it is brought out as an army, I am afraid that no one wants to provoke it. This ensures that it is far superior to ordinary crossbowmen in survivability on the battlefield. ”
"Also, being on top of the giant elephant expands the crossbowman's field of vision. Crucially, with the power of the giant elephant, we can do the work of winding the heavy crossbow. Xun Yue's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said in a deep voice.
Any kind of supernatural power is a great treasure, and if you can find the key to unlock it, this power is enough to shock the world. Xun Yue firmly believes in this.
Just like the Southern Barbarians, the physique far beyond ordinary people is relative to the clumsy mind and the insulation of the military array. Under normal circumstances, these people would only be suitable to be coolies and baggage soldiers, or to fight alone in the mountains and forests.
But when he met Tai Shici, the defects of the Southern Barbarians were made up to a certain extent, and they instantly became the top army in the world. The Southern Barbarians made Tai Shi Ci, and Tai Shi Ci also made the Southern Barbarian Soldiers.
And the elephant soldier, in Xun Yue's eyes, is another southern barbarian soldier. More powerful, flawed and deadlier, but with the right approach, the Elephant Soldier is one of the strongest legions in the world.
"Wind up with the power of a giant elephant? Master Xun, do you want to put the bed crossbow on top of the giant elephant? Can we do this with our technology? Zhuge Liang frowned. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is proficient in the art of craftsmanship, but it is because of this that he understands how difficult it is to be able to attach the bed crossbow to the body of the giant elephant, and use the power of the giant elephant to wind it, and to be able to apply it to actual combat.
When Xun Yue heard this, he smiled slightly: "Kong Ming, you are very knowledgeable, and no one among the Wenchen dares to say that he can beat you." However, in terms of craftsmanship, you also underestimate the world. The Mo family and the public loser can be one of the hundred, and they have their own uniqueness. ”
