Chapter 531: The Resting Country Returns to the Horse
Huang Zhong beheaded Xiahoudun and immediately became famous all over the world, officially on the same level as the Xiliang Shenwei general Jin Ma Chao and the famous Changshan Zhao Zilong.
The battle between the Sichuan army and the Cao army began with the death of Xiahoudun.
Hesai, the forward position of the Sichuan army, and the defensive cities such as martial arts are at an angle, looking down on the fertile soil of Guanzhong.
All units of the Sichuan army gathered in Yongbei, the generals entered Yisai, and Liu Zhang feasted the generals.
"Come on." Liu Zhang raised his wine glass, stood up and faced the Sichuan army, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the Sichuan army and the heroes of the Southern Wilderness and the West Qiang are gathered together, and they are about to start a war of unprecedented scale. ”
"Shu Hou upholds the thousand autumns, dominates the world, and does it." The commander of the Sichuan army and the retinue army of the alien race stood up together, and hundreds of civil and military officers in the hall made a sound of moving.
"Shu Hou." The vulture bone wiped a handful of wine stains from his mouth, waited for everyone else to sit down, bowed his hand to Liu Zhang, and laughed: "This time Shu Hou and Cao Cao's rebel war, millions of troops gathered in Guanzhong, it is really unprecedented, and the Southern Wilderness people can participate in such a big battle, and there are no regrets in this life."
Shu Hou first had the grace of correcting my Southern Wilderness, and then had the grace of not killing my vulture bones, and also let me marry such a beautiful and virtuous wife. ”
The vulture took his resting wife over, one was one zhang and two feet, and the other was one zhang high, and the resting woman was not only tall and big, but her shoulders and abdominal muscles were bulging, and her face was cross-faced, and all the generals couldn't find this woman at all, which point was related to the "beauty and virtuousness" that the vulture bone said.
Maybe those two arrogant breasts are two huge pectoral muscles.
The vulture was excited, and continued: "It's just that the vulture bone is my beloved wife. There was a reluctant please. My wife was a nobleman of the Sabbath country. Exiled to the Western Regions due to internal wars, he was born with a good martial arts, and he commanded soldiers and horses with special abilities, and he liked to fight.
Now that the war is unprecedented, my vulture bone will be able to fight heartily, but I can't snub my beloved wife, so the vulture bone wants to ask Shu Hou for personal favors and let my wife command a team of soldiers and horses. It doesn't take too much, as long as you can fight, what does Shu Hou think? ”
"Vulture bones." Yang Feng raised his head and said, "Didn't I say that you have 30,000 soldiers and horses under your command?" Since your husband and wife are so affectionate, what does it matter if you give your wife 12,800? As for official positions, this should be easy to do. ”
Behind Yang Feng, a few barbarian aunts with strong martial arts stood motionless, and said with an expression on their faces, My Yang Shuai is right, we don't want soldiers. What kind of soldier does your wife want?
Liu Zhang nodded lightly, the official position is indeed easy to handle. It's not impossible to divide the troops, but if this woman doesn't know how to command the troops, it's not blind, even if there are few troops, it's still a soldier.
"My wife is good at commanding cavalry, and she is an archer cavalry, my rattan armor army is not suitable, and I ask Shu to wait for it."
"Archers." The generals were shocked, it was the elite of the cavalry, and this vulture bone could also be opened.
The vulture's wife stood aside, looking at this scene, although she didn't know Chinese, she probably understood what these people meant, and walked out, holding a scroll in her hand and presenting it to Liu Zhang, her tall body, even if she bowed down the steps, was taller than Liu Zhang sitting on the steps.
Liu Zhang took the scroll, opened it and took a look, it was a pair of bow and arrow puzzles, which should be used to make bows and arrows, but it looked like the structure was very complicated, there were many parts, and he couldn't see the mystery, so he handed it to Huang Yueying, a master next to him, Huang Yueying only glanced at it, and frowned deeply.
"Vulture, can you understand your wife's words? Come here. Huang Yueying said.
"Yes, yes, yes." The vulture bone hurriedly agreed to step forward, and after getting the vulture bone of his wife, he was ecstatic, but there was an obstacle in communicating with his wife, and he studied hard day and night, and finally learned more than 100 words of peace.
This was too much for the vultures, so he declared that he would rest in peace.
"You ask your wife, what are the characteristics of this bow?"
The vulture exchanged a few words with his wife, it seems that the woman has already spoken to the vulture in this picture, and there is no big obstacle to communication, and the vulture bone said: "She said that the range of this kind of bow is twice that of our ordinary hard bow here, and the weight is only fifty percent more, and most importantly, it saves at least three times the effort." ”
"Triple as much." The civil and military forces were amazed, and Liu Zhang also frowned, there is such a powerful bow and arrow in the world? If you save three times the effort, but you can double the range, then the archers equipped with this kind of bow are almost invincible.
Huang Yueying looked at the drawings again: "Is there a finished product?" ”
A rattan armor soldier brought a bow and arrow, and the generals saw it, and they all shouted strangely, the bows they had seen in their lives were all composed of bows and strings, and the so-called power was the quality of the bowstring, which was also related to the volume, and at most added a little fancy.
However, at a cursory glance, this compound bow can see that there are at least ten kinds of parts, and it is simply an archery machine.
Huang Yueying took the bow and arrow, carefully inspected each part, nodded frequently, and asked the principle of the vulture bone, the vulture bone communicated with his wife for a long time, only to see that the vulture bone's face was cloudy and changeable, and he was about to cry.
It seems that he does not understand his wife's words very well, nor does he understand the principle of construction.
Liu Zhang only heard the words "compound bow" from the words of the vulture bone, and was suddenly shocked, this is indeed the king of bows and arrows, and the Mongolian iron cavalry dominates the world, relying on this kind of bow and arrow.
As we all know, the Mongolian archers are good at returning to the horse, that is, the two armies are fighting, the Mongolian cavalry is defeated and flees, the enemy pursues, the Mongolian cavalry relies on the strong endurance of the Mongolian bantam horse, thirst, hunger, and the harsh climate of the steppe, when the enemy chases, he shoots the enemy back to the horse, until the defeat turns into victory and annihilates the enemy.
The Mongols used this method of returning horse shooting to defeat countless powerful enemies.
But if you want to shoot back from the horse, you can't do it with a bantam horse alone, the enemy is pursuing, you can turn back and shoot arrows, others can shoot you head-on, and there is no horsepower to help you shoot back from the horse, but the enemy can use the horse's strength, if it is the same bow and arrow, the Mongol cavalry will only be annihilated.
The reason why the Mongolian cavalry is invincible in the return horse shooting battle is that it uses a compound bow, the terrifying range of the compound bow, and the surprising light strength of the bow, so that the Mongolian cavalry can only shoot people without being shot, and is invincible and invincible.
And the source of the compound bow. From Egypt. Achieved in the Resting Empire. The Sabbatical Empire's archers, armed with compound bows, are famous all over the world.
The strength of the Anxi Empire was much smaller than that of the Roman Empire, but it won more and lost fewer wars with Rome, blocking the Roman Empire from the Middle East and not crossing the Iranian area, which curbed the expansion of the Roman Empire.
Crassus, one of the first three giants of Rome, was captured and killed by the Rest Empire.
In the battle of Crassus's capture, the Battle of Calle, the same archery tactics were used by the Sabbatins. We all know that the Roman tortoise shell formation is extremely powerful, and the Roman soldiers are all professional soldiers, which is stronger than the army of half-peasants and half-soldiers.
But even such an army, formed in a perfect tortoiseshell formation, could not withstand the shooting of the Sabbatarians to keep their distance.
In the Battle of Calle, Anxi defeated the Roman army of 40,000 with less than 20,000 troops, and became a famous example of winning more with less in the world's military history.
And such wars won by archers and horsemen are innumerable in the history of the Rest Empire.
The strength of the archers of the Rest Empire lies in the use of compound bows, according to the artifacts that have now been excavated. The compound bow of the Sabbath Empire is more powerful than any other compound bow produced in any other part of the world, and the birthplace of the compound bow is Egypt. It is no longer a resting opponent.
Huang Yueying didn't care so much, she first borrowed Huang Zhong's carved bow, Huang Zhong's hard bow is the strongest bow and arrow in the Sichuan army, much more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows, and few generals can pull it.
Huang Yueying picked up the carved bow, easily pulled into a full moon, the generals were amazed, stretched the bow and set the string, an arrow was shot, only to hear a crisp bowstring sound, "whoosh", the sharp arrow shot straight to the wall next to the gate fifty meters away, and the arrow poured into the wall.
"Back to the lord, military advisor, the arrow shaft is not five inches."
The generals were surprised, Huang Zhong touched his beard and smiled, not to mention anything else, this carved bow has followed him for decades, although the original color has been worn off, and it looks ugly, but it is definitely the best hard bow in the world, and the range is not comparable to Ma Chao's bow and arrow.
Huang Yueying was not shocked, picked up the bow and arrow handed by the barbarian, weighed it, stretched the bow and stringed, and also lightly pulled it into a full moon.
Huang Yueying put the bow and arrow on the outer string, let go of the fingers, and the arrow flew out, but no sound was heard, the pressurized effect of the pulley tightened the bowstring and reduced the force consumed by the human hand, and after it was released, the pulley calmed the sound of the bowstring.
"Whoosh."
The arrow flew towards the wall, directly cutting the original arrow shaft, inserting the original arrow hole, without stopping, straight out, a white light shot in from the small hole, and all the generals changed color.
Now, without the soldiers' return, all the generals know who is more powerful, Huang Zhong was surprised, he didn't expect that there was such a powerful bow and arrow in the world.
"Oh my god, this is a powerful crossbow that can be easily unwound."
Xiaokong Sunshine hit Zhao Yun's small table, and Liu Zhang whispered to Huang Yueying: "Yueying, good archery." ”
Huang Yueying smiled a little happily and said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, this bow is indeed powerful, our Han Dynasty has also produced similar compound bows, but it is far from such a strong range, and the production is cumbersome and not popular, if the cost of this bow is not too expensive, you can consider equipping the army." ”
Liu Zhang nodded and said to the vulture: "How is this kind of bow made, is it very expensive?" ”
"Hey." The vulture bone waved his hand, sweeping like a fan: "My wife is very proficient in the method, and I will let her teach Shu Hou's craftsmen to make it when I go back, in fact, we have made dozens of them in the Southern Wilderness, but Shu Hou also knows that we don't have any craftsmen, so ......"
The method of making compound bows in the country of peace is the top secret of the country of rest, but the wife of the vulture bone is from the royal family of peace and is the commander of the army, so she knows everything about the production and use of compound bows.
When he arrived in Dahan, he was already thousands of miles away from the motherland, and his wife was not afraid of the outflow of technology, and Dahan and Anxi would never be able to fight.
"Vulture bones, your wife has made meritorious contributions, I can allocate a thousand archers to your wife, but you think clearly, if I allocate soldiers and horses, then your wife is a member of my Sichuan army, and she is no longer a foreign vassal.
"No problem." The vulture touched his head, he really couldn't think of any problem, the southern wilderness had been changed to Dian Zhou, and whether or not to join the Sichuan army was a nominal issue in the vulture bone's view, and there was also a lot of money when joining the Sichuan army during the non-war, so why not.
"Okay, rest in peace, woman......" Liu Zhang suddenly looked at the vulture: "What's your wife's name?" ”
"Su Lan (daughter of Ardaban V, the last monarch of the Rest Empire)."
Liu Zhang turned to Su Lan and said in a deep voice: "The rest woman Su Lan has made meritorious contributions, and she is from a noble background, and has the ability to command troops to resist the enemy...... for the Parthian general. ”
As soon as the three words "Parthia" came out, Su Lan was immediately stunned, she only heard the Han people say that her country was the Rest Empire, and no one knew that her country was actually called the Parthian Empire.
Suddenly hearing the three words Parthia from Liu Zhang, Su Lan's eyes widened suddenly, but she immediately fell silent, estimating that she had misheard it, perhaps because the pronunciation was similar.
"Thank you." When the vulture heard that his beloved wife was sealed, he was immediately overjoyed, pulled Su Lan to his knees, and the two "strong men" knelt down "bang" together, and the whole hall was shaken.
"Hahaha." The excited vulture stood up and laughed, and picked up Zhao Yun's wine bowl next to him, Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and only picked up chopsticks to eat.
"Su Lan's wish is the wish of my vulture bones, Shu Hou is benevolent and righteous, my vulture bones really don't know how to repay you, only salute Shu Hou with this bowl of wine."
Liu Zhang smiled and raised the cup in front of him, and waved his hand and said: "Shu Hou, I know that you are sick, but I am happy today, and a big war is coming, from tomorrow, we will fight the battlefield, Shu Hou will drink a bowl of wine, and we, the people of the Southern Wilderness, will serve Shu Hou to death." ”
"That's right, Shu Hou drinks, and my Mulu King is willing to make ten bowls."
"I'll bake the Hammer King twenty bowls."
"As far as you southerners are powerful, the leader of my family's fine sealing pool will also accompany you to the end."
The generals of the Sichuan army did not speak, the barbarians and Qiang people coaxed, elated, in their opinion, drinking means heroic, brother, hero, even if they know that Liu Zhang is sick, but they don't think that drinking a bowl of wine is a big deal.
These people are not to mention sick, even if they are slashed a few times, and they drink strong liquor.
Therefore, the vulture bone does not feel that there is anything wrong with him toasting Liu Zhang, and hopes that Liu Zhang will not replace the wine with tea, because the vulture bone really respects Liu Zhang in his heart, and if he were someone else, the vulture bone would not even disdain to toast, so he would not care so much.
The vulture looked at the wine bowl in his hand, shook his head, returned it to Zhao Yun, picked up a wine jar, and shouted: "Do it first for respect." The cooing sound was endless, the throat rose and fell, and a jar of wine went down the stomach.
"Shu waits, please." The vulture wiped his mouth with his thigh-thick forearm, looked at Liu Zhang, and saw that Liu Zhang didn't move, so he picked up another jar of wine. (To be continued......)
