Cooked cowhide is tough and geometric, the leaders of the Huns present, together with Shan Yuqiang, who is already old and decrepit, but they all clearly understand in their hearts, three layers of cooked cowhide, not to mention them, for anyone in the whole world, no matter how amazing his arm strength is, a hard bow that can shoot a few stones, can shoot through a layer from a hundred and fifty paces, that is quite extraordinary.

Therefore, Xu Shu invited him several times, but no one really stepped forward to offer ugliness, if there was only a layer of cooked cowhide, it is estimated that those present, except for Shan Yu Qiang, the rest of the leaders will rush to go up and have a try, how to say that this is also a good time to show their strength in front of the Son of Heaven and the envoy of the general of the Che Cai.

Since everyone just looks at me and I look at you, no one stepped forward to give it a try, Xu Shu just smiled indifferently, no longer invited him, but waved his hand, and ordered the crossbow hand to come forward and prepare.

In each cart, there are still only two crossbows, each crossbow, there are three people to operate, one person is under the car, delivering the crossbow arrows, and two people stand next to the crossbow, put on the crossbow arrows, twist a small disc with five handles, in the sound of the machine, the crossbow string is tightened, and finally with a click, it is tightly buckled.

Xu Shu nodded and said softly: "Launch!" ”

The two crossbowmen released the trigger, and a low hum burst into the air, and two crossbow arrows, as thick as children's arms, whistled like electric fire, and flew towards the three-layered cooked cowhide target a hundred and fifty paces away.

Bang! Bang!

The two muffled sounds, almost in unison, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned as they watched the crossbow arrows pass through the three-layer cooked cowhide target.

After being stunned for a long time, Xu Shu said to Qiang Yan with a smile: "Shan Yu, please!" ”

Qiang Yan opened his mouth wide, nodded Mu Ran, followed Xu Shu, rode his horse to the target, and approached, without deliberately looking, he smelled a smell of cooked cowhide.

The bolt passed through three layers of cooked cowhide, and flew forward for a long distance. Only then did he fall to the ground, and the people who came to see this scene recently, whether it was Qiang, Huchuquan, or the leaders of the Southern Huns, they were all stunned, and they couldn't speak for a while.

With this sharp weapon, they can be regarded as truly realizing that Lu Bu, the general of the chariot cavalry, was outside the Yanmen Pass, and the Han cavalry was inferior in numbers. Against the Xianbei Iron Cavalry led by Budugen. Why it was a big win. And cut the root of the step under the horse.

Such a strong crossbow, if lined up, crossbow arrows fired in unison, on the unobstructed prairie. The fine cavalry that charges on the horse is completely the best target!

When Ma Chao was in Chang'an, he had seen the power of this kind of crossbow, and when he saw Qiang Yan and others reacting like this, he was secretly amused, and turned his head to see Xu Huang, who was smiling slightly on horseback, and immediately blushed, remembering the gap between his reaction before and after seeing the power of the crossbow. I couldn't help but secretly feel ashamed.

On the way back to Meiji, Qiang was speechless all the way, until he approached the gate of Meiji, he came faintly: "The crossbow is so powerful!" ”

"Yes. The power of the crossbow should not be underestimated! ”

In the city of Jiuyuan in Wuyuan County, although there are ready-made official houses, Tuoba Xianbei Ministry's marshal Tuoba neighbor still likes to live in a large and luxurious cowhide tent, and at this moment the tent is full of Tuoba Xianbei Eight tribesmen.

The so-called Tuoba Eight Divisions, it is Tuoba Xianbei deduced that Tuoba Lin in Xianbei King Tan Shihuai was still alive, after the integration of Tuoba Xianbei departments, divided into eight departments, and divided into eight by his brothers, respectively, Tuoba clan, Sugu clan, Pu Ts, Ba Ba clan, Da Xi clan, Yi Lou clan, Qiu Dun clan, Hou Hai clan, such as plus Tuoba Lin's uncle led by the Yijan clan, and Shu subordinate led by the Che Kun clan (ps: later generations of Yuan, Hu, Zhou, eldest grandson, Xi, Yi, Qiu, Hai, uncle, Che surname), in fact, Tuoba Xianbei has a total of ten.

Tuoba Lin was already full of white hair, his face was full of wrinkles, sitting in the middle, and everyone was centered on him, sitting around, just like the stars and the moon, very conspicuous. Behind him sat his son, Tuoba Fen, the heir of Tuoba Lin.

And the one who spoke was Tuoba Lin's uncle, Tuoba Yijan, who had always been regarded by everyone as old and serious, so that sometimes he seemed too cautious, so among the eight Tuoba Lin brothers, there were many people who privately called this uncle as timid as a mouse.

Tuoba Lin frowned tightly, did not say a word, Fang Cai's uncle Tuoba Yizhan told that it was the Han chariot cavalry general Lu Bu, outside the Yanmen Pass, killing the Xianbei king Tan Shihuai descendants Bu Dugen and Fu Luo Han's war, this matter is very rumored, the leaders of the various departments here, many people firmly believe that most of these rumors are not true, most of them are rumors that Lu Bu deliberately spread by others, and its intention is to make the warriors of the Xianbei tribes have a sense of awe of the Han cavalry and the crossbow.

After pondering for a long time, Tuoba Neighbor raised his head and looked around, all of those present were his own brothers, beloved sons, uncles, and relatives, but despite this, Tuoba Lin's eyes were a little swollen, but his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle falcon back then, and wise, so that everyone did not dare to look directly.

Tuoba Lin didn't speak, but everyone knew in their hearts that he was asking everyone to express their opinions.

After everyone spoke out one by one, Tuoba Lin turned his head and asked, "What do I think about this matter?" ”

Tuoba Jiefen has actually long passed the age of establishment, especially the Xianbei people, who have come in the wind and rain since they were young, and accepted the strong wind on the prairie to carve, so they are older than their actual age, although Tuoba Jiefen is the son of Tuoba Xianbei deduction, it is the same, and it looks more like he is over forty years old.

He learned from his father to Tuoba Lin, his eyebrows were tightly locked, he pondered for a moment, and replied: "The child thinks that Lu Bu's two battles outside Yanmen Pass, defeating our clan's iron cavalry, and killing Bu Dugen and Fu Luohan, are enough to show that the rumors of the crossbow are true, and they are extremely powerful. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzz in the tent, which showed that everyone did not expect that Tuoba Jiefen would actually support Tuoba Yiyan's statement.

Tuoba Lin raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his right hand, and the buzzing noise in the tent immediately stopped.

Tuoba Jiefen swept his eyes, and everyone was shocked to find that his junior had a bit of Tuoba's neighbor's sharpness and wisdom in his eyes.

"All along, the Han cavalry is difficult to compete with our iron cavalry, even the Han people are in the opposition, they are also so recognized, these two battles, Lu Bu with less strikes, not only defeated our iron cavalry, killed the commander, but also their own losses are very small, such as the elite cavalry duel, even if the Han cavalry can win, it should be a considerable loss."

Tuoba Lin nodded and replied: "Well, what my son said is very true, the Han cavalry is not inferior to the iron cavalry of our clan, it has always been like this, but the Han people are better than the strong bow." This time, Lü Bu sent the army north, with the intention of Hetao, and now the Southern Xiongnu have surrendered without a fight, how should this battle be dealt with? ”

Everyone here frowned, if it was in the past, their opinions would be surprisingly simple, and they would be surprisingly unanimous, that is, they would ride the iron horse and crush it all the way with unstoppable momentum, and it would be enough.

Back then, the Han Dynasty sent the three-way army to invade the north, and the king Tanshihuai was a-for-tat three-way army, rushing to kill, defeating the Han and the Xiongnu coalition army in a war, killing the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty no longer dared to invade the north, but when the Central Plains was weak, he took the initiative to withdraw Wuyuan and other Yanbian counties to Yanmen Pass, in order to avoid the Xianbei iron cavalry.

But now, even the marshal Tuoba Lin recognized that there were powerful crossbows in the Han army, and in this case, if you want to fight hard with the Han cavalry, the final outcome is like Bu Dugen and Fu Luo Han.

In this way, it is equivalent to abolishing the biggest battle of the Xianbei Iron Cavalry at once, how can this battle be fought.

Just when everyone was in a state of hard thought, Tuoba Jiefen's voice sounded again: "Although the Han army's crossbow is sharp, it can restrain our iron cavalry, but it can't change the fact that the Han cavalry is invincible to our iron cavalry, and the crossbow is not easy to move, and it is difficult to come and go like the wind like a fine horse, so why not learn to learn from the wolves and avoid a head-on confrontation with the Han army. ”

These words made everyone's eyes light up, as if in the dark, they suddenly saw a door that opened open.

Tuoba Lin also nodded again and again, and praised: "Okay, this strategy is very good. Since the Han army dares to come, our clan dares to fight with it in the grassland, and if the Han army wants to occupy the city, let them defend it to the death. ”

Wow!

There was an uproar in the tent.

Everyone heard from Tuoba Lin's words that he had the intention of directly giving up so many cities, especially this Jiuyuan City, which was even more fortified by the wall, if it was given to the Han army, in the blink of an eye, even if all the troops of Tuoba Xianbei were gathered, it would be difficult to capture it.

Tuoba Lin's face was expressionless, and after everyone stopped talking and the uproar in the tent stopped, he said coldly: "My clan was born in the grassland, grew up in the grassland, lived in the water and grass, came in the wind, went in the rain, and tempered the invincible iron horse in the world. You don't want to think about it, when the king ruled the prairie and established the Khan court in Danhan Mountain, with his ability, he wanted to build a fortified city comparable to Luoyang of the Han Dynasty, isn't it easy? ”

After speaking, Tuoba Lin's eyes showed majesty, his eyes swept around, although his voice eased, the sternness in his heart did not diminish at all, and continued: "This decisive battle with the Han army will be related to whether our clan can gain a foothold in the Hetao, since our clan's iron cavalry cannot face off with the Han army head-on, and defend a city and a place, what is the use except for binding hands and feet?" ”

Tuoba Lin made a final decision, and no one dared to question it anymore, and Tuoba Lin, as a handsome Tuoba Xianbei, was respected by the clansmen as a deduction, itself because of his wisdom and foresight, he said such a thing this time, whether he understood it or not, he must have said it right.

The decision has been decided, after everyone discussed the details of the battle, the fish dispersed, Tuoba Lin left his beloved son Tuoba Jiefen, silent for a long time, and then said to him: "Before the war started, my son led the iron cavalry of the department, and took the first step to cross the Yin Mountain to the north, looking for a pasture to gain a foothold in the ......"
