Chapter III: Guerrilla Warfare
Yun Yue thought that she was strong enough, strong enough to go out and collect protection money. But some people disagree with Yun Yue's point of view, especially the black wind who had just looted in Pingliang a few months ago. He believes that black eating black is an act that is in line with his personality. So, he sent people to attack Zhang Han, who was fully loaded.
Zhang Han was defeated very badly, and two arrows were inserted in his back. Of the 800 cavalry of the Qin army who followed him out, less than 200 returned.
The accompanying military doctor was a two-hundred-and-five, and when he drew the arrow, he actually left the arrow inside. Straight to Pingliang, Zhang Han, who is fierce and fierce, only has half a life left.
The anti-inflammatory drugs are gone, and it seems that Zhang Han, who has a high fever, can only be handed over to Bian Que.
"Damn, the person who dared to sneak attack us also injured Xiao Zhang. Master Hou, the last general is willing to lead the troops to the battle. Exterminate the Huns! Ao Canghai's already hideous face was even more terrifying, and his red eyes almost erupted with fire. He really values this young talent, and he has always regarded Zhang Han as a nephew.
"Damn, those Huns are just tired of life. Master Hou, Poor Qi is willing to pick the heart and liver of the black wind and give it to Xiao Zhang to make soup to drink! "Qi Qi is a two hundred and five, although he has fought with Zhang Han because of the horse. But he can beat Zhang Han, and others can't beat him.
Chu Dayong didn't come back because he was far away, and Yun Yue didn't speak. looked at the two old foxes sitting at the bottom, and then looked at Wusun Jichang.
"Brother, don't look at my brother. You let your brother lead a hundred and ten people to run a business. This leader fights, and my brother is really not good at it. If my brother said it, it was really not authentic for the Huns to do this. If the brother doesn't fight him, the Huns will think that we are afraid of him. These guys have always been wolves who are afraid of the soft and the hard, and this winter I am afraid that the Huns will besiege Pingliang. ”
Wusun Ji used to run to the Northland. Frequent dealings with the Huns. If you talk about the understanding of the Huns. I'm afraid of those who are here. He knows the best.
"Mr. Wusun is right, these Huns have never been good men and women. We've endured ...... this time."
"The Huns will think that we are weak and can be bullied, and we will ...... this winter"
"I will definitely attack Pingliang again!"
The two old fellows were full of affection, and now they both spoke like twins. One didn't finish speaking, and the other continued, and the tacit understanding was outrageous.
"I agree with that!" Yun Yue glanced around, except for the old Jiang standing behind him, he didn't speak. The rest of the people nodded wildly.
"The tribe of the Black Wind has nearly 100,000 people, and there are at least 30,000 people who control the strings. It is considered to be the larger branch of the Xiongnu tribe. This is not counting the black dragon who is in charge of ten thousand horses in the royal court. How many of us are there? Not counting the bearded knights and the veterans of the forward battalion who followed us, there were only 5,000 paces. There were only 1,000 cavalry, and the Huns killed more than 600, and all of them were wounded.
Now in Pingliang City, you can only make up 6,000 steps to ride out. Fight with 30,000 Huns, how to fight? ”
The huge gap in numbers cannot be made up with equipment, the gap is too great. It's not equipment that makes up for it.
"The old man said that he didn't want to press all the soldiers of Pingliang and raise troops to fight against the Huns and the Black Wind. Instead, he sent only 300 bearded knights, 200 cavalry, and 200 foot soldiers in chariots. ”
"Old thing, my sons are not for you to spoil like this. Seven hundred. If you throw it on the grassland, it won't even bubble. Where has Qiqi offended you, what kind of heart do you old fellow have? Qi Qi immediately pulled up the collar of Wei Fang's neck. It shook off like a rag.
"Poor Qi, put people down. Otherwise, you will be locked up! Yun Yue hurriedly stopped it, and shook the old guy twice again.
"Humph!" Qi Qi snorted in his nose and slammed the blue fang to the ground. Looking at the way Wei Fang's head shook and his feet trembled, he knew that this old guy must be very uncomfortable.
"Master Hou, the old man has discussed with Wei Yuzi. With our current military strength, we really can't compete with the Black Wind Division, but this weakness has the advantages of being weak, and it has great difficulties.
The Huns lived nomadically, and the 100,000 tribes could not be crowded together, otherwise the pastures would be over-cultivated. Hou Ye thinks about how big a piece of 100,000 people has to be spread! The 700 of us went in to find those peripheral tribesmen.
Today, he killed three or five households, plundered cattle, sheep and horses. Tomorrow he will kill three or five more households, and also plunder cattle, sheep, horses, and baggage. These 200 cavalry, 200 infantry, are not for combat use. It is for the transportation of cattle, sheep, prisoners, etc. ”
"Humph! What would you do if the Huns' cavalry came? The carriage could not outrun the cavalry. Ao Canghai snorted coldly in his nose and argued unconvinced. On this expedition, he is likely to lead the team. Although Qi Qi is brave, riding and shooting is really his weakness. With his bulky body, he seems to be incapable of this kind of guerrilla warfare.
"Hahaha! Brigade cavalry? Thy scouts are twenty miles away, and when they meet the cavalry, your two hundred bearded knights meet them. The old man heard that Master Geng had improved our bow and arrow on the basis of Hou Ye. The old man went to see it during the test yesterday, and there was no problem at all for ordinary soldiers to shoot 350 steps.
You fight, withdraw, and drag on the fight, I believe it will take less than ten miles. You should chase the Huns, unless you encounter more than 3,000 cavalry. Otherwise, it is definitely the Huns who will suffer. ”
Yun Yue looked at the old fisherman's mouth and closed one by one, and his jaw almost dropped. The Mongols' mangu tactics were actually figured out by this old thing during the Warring States period. There is also Master Geng, who increased the range of the bow to two hundred meters in the era of cold weapons. God, this is better than many submachine guns in later generations. How did this old guy's brain grow?
"There is some truth, when the Hou Ye asked us to practice reflexive archery. The big guy is still unwilling, but now it seems to be really useful. Ao Canghai listened to the old fisherman's words and grinned.
"Master Geng really increased the range of the bow to three hundred and fifty paces?" Yun Yue was a little unconvinced, the compound bow he developed was already the ultimate in this era. Increasing the range by dozens of paces, how did this old guy do it?
"Of course, Master Hou can go to the armory to have a look."
The ordnance institute is Master Geng's territory, and the entire Pingliang weapon manufacturing is carried out here. Two hundred Qiang slaves are working here, and brick houses are being built. Master Geng and his apprentices are constantly patrolling. In case of technical problems, we also provide guidance one by one.
Yun Yue took the compound bow that Master Geng had modified and straightened his teeth, this pulley system is actually a modified three-groove two-wheel system, which can make the pulley work to the greatest extent compared to other pulley systems. Unlike single-wheel and mixed-wheel systems, it does not have a separate chord to tie the upper and lower wheels, which does not restrict the position of the pulley and the attitude of rotation. This pulley system has only two control strings that connect the upper and lower wheels, and it achieves a state of equilibrium that allows the upper and lower wheels to "float freely".
The binary pulley system automatically balances between the upper and lower wheels when the bow is drawn, correcting for problems such as wing deflection on the arrow. And this module can be converted, allowing the shooter to choose between the most supple feel and the maximum energy output, as if there were two bows. Technically, such a system is capable of providing the straightest arrow path and maximum energy in any situation.
Yun Yue has to say that this guy is a genius. I wondered if if this old guy would be able to get something like Gatling or Markexin out right away if he got the gunpowder out himself. I'm looking forward to it!
Ao Canghai is a real person, and he tried the bowstring to use the bow and arrow. With a quick glance, he shot at the farthest target, and everyone put their hands on the pergola to watch. I saw that the arrow was as fast as the wind, and after crossing a perfect parabola, it was perfectly nailed to the target. With good eyes, it seems that he also sees the red tail feathers of the arrow tail constantly trembling.
"Hahaha! Master Hou, with this thing. My 200 horsemen are enough to deal with 1,000 Hun cavalry! Ao Canghai didn't let go of the bow, as if he was holding a beautiful woman. I was afraid that Master Geng would ask him for it.
"Hmph, this is for experiments. There are already more than 200 of these bows in the treasury, which is enough for you. Bring! Master Geng snatched the bow over, and if the killers want good armor and weapons, they all have to look at the faces of the old gentlemen around them.
Now the market for skilled workers is bullish, and Master Geng is even more bullish. The prey that the killers bring back, they often pick the best and send some over. For knowledge, the old and rough people who are accustomed to killing people are far more respectful than those guys in the court who are so bad all day long.
"General Ao came just in time, you use this bow to shoot that target." Master Geng pointed to a vermilion target in the distance, slightly adjusted the eccentric wheel on the bow, and handed the bow back to Ao Canghai.
Ao Canghai raised his eyes and looked, and the target was covered with a red blanket. Everything else was the same, and the range seemed to be closer than the one I had just shot. Seeing that everyone is looking at themselves, they don't talk nonsense. An arrow with a red tail feather was drawn and shot like a meteor.
Off target! To be exact, the arrow did not penetrate the target. The arrow seemed to hit a stone and flew out diagonally.
Ao Canghai was not convinced, and took out another arrow. This time, everyone saw it more clearly, it was simply hit on the target and bounced off, and it didn't hit the target at all.
Ao Canghai was about to shoot again, but was stopped by Master Geng. smiled and said to Yun Yue: "The kind of armor you said is placed on that target, and the newly refined steel is very useful. You see, our bows can't shoot through, let alone the arrows made of the rotten bones of the Huns. ”
"Haha, with this sharp arrow and saber. Plus sturdy armor, Hou Ye. Even if it is five thousand Hun elite horsemen, Canghai can kill him back and forth. When Ao Canghai heard Master Geng say this, he almost jumped with joy.
"You're all babes, you can't just go out and work hard. Remember the sixteen words, the enemy advances and I retreat, the enemy retreats and I advance, the enemy is trapped and disturbed, and the enemy is tired and I fight. Go ahead! Force back the money, food, and women of the Huns, and half of them will be confiscated and half will be yours. "Yun Yue is in a good mood, how can the Huns do it without paying the price?
