Chapter 246: Archery
The palace is deep and secluded, and in the palace, the lights are lit to reflect the palace.
Under the throne of Han, Zhang Liang told King Han what he saw and heard when he accompanied Touman today.
Touman, the leader of the Huns, is not well-known in South Korea, and his awareness is very low among the Korean civil and military ministers.
South Korea is in the middle of the world, and although it faces threats from all sides, it has one advantage, that is, the influence of the Hu people is really limited, almost none.
How about the Xiongnu, whether they are strong or weak, it is Qin, Zhao, and even Yan that should be worried about, not Korea.
At most, ministers who are concerned with the diplomatic situation of South Korea will study the ability of the Xiongnu to contain the military power of Qin and Zhao.
King Han knew that Touman was a powerful leader, the wolf lord of the Huns. However, after listening to Zhang Liang's report, King Han was still on fire in his heart.
A bet is a thousand war horses, and the tribute is only fifty for me, so do you want me to be sent away as a begging for food!
It's just that King Han is not very easy to attack in front of Zhang Liang, a junior.
The Zhang family has been the prime minister for generations, and even if King Han is weak, he also knows that this Zhang family's son-in-law will be able to become a pillar in the future.
"How are they going to fight?"
"Archery!"
Zhang Liang arched his hand and said slowly.
Although Zhang Liang's words were not sonorous, they were very clear, and when they reached King Han's ears, King Han was a little stunned.
Archery with the Huns?
The crossbow is more suitable than the bow, because the archer is more difficult to train than the crossbowman.
Generally speaking, the training time of archers in various armies is quite long, and the price is expensive. Sometimes, the army is a temporary conscription of mountain people to join the army.
These mountain people, who have lived by hunting for generations, have been touching bows since childhood, and have natural training, just like the Huns who grew up on horseback.
These people are valuable military resources.
A crossbow is thrown on the ground, and an ordinary person will use it after a few days. But a bow thrown on the ground is difficult for ordinary people to cause effective damage.
Ordinary people have neither the strength nor the sense, making the bow as lethal and accurate as a crossbow.
What's more, in the army, the archer's biggest advantage over the crossbowman is the rate of fire and the ability to continuously output.
Of course, in advance, the archers in the army were well trained enough to fulfill the tactical requirements assigned by the generals.
The Xiongnu were good at riding and shooting, but the production technology of the Xiongnu was far inferior to that of Huaxia.
But this problem does not exist in the body of the Xiongnu leader Touman. It is impossible for the Mohist commanders to gain a clear advantage over the Xiongnu armies in terms of equipment like the armies of other countries.
"The widow understood. This matter needs to be followed up by the ovary. ”
"No!"
Zhang Liang was far away, and King Han sat in his place, thinking in his heart, what impact would this matter have?
King Han was jealous of the power of the Mo family's commander, especially his relationship with the Qin army.
It's just that the commander of the Mo family is quite restrained, and he has not allowed the Mo family's power to expand rapidly in Korea, and has always maintained a fairly small scale.
The great commander of the Mo family seems to have no ambitions, as if he was doing something in Baiyue, infiltrating the power of the Mo family into the Korean court.
But in King Han's heart, this could not lift his guard against this mysterious and dangerous person.
On the contrary, his heart was even more suspicious.
In the end, King Han slapped the table with his hand, and the voice of dissatisfaction filled the temple.
"A thousand war horses, too much deception!"
......
In the cold woods, a gloomy man stood beside an ancient tree, playing with a spider between his fingers.
"Descendants of the Moon Wolves?"
Zhao Gao had a spy under his command, who was kneeling on one knee.
"Yes, the leader of the Huns, Tou Man, fought against the commander of the Mo family, and the bet was a thousand war horses and the descendants of the moon wolf. It's just that the subordinates haven't found out yet, what is the descendant of this moon wolf? ”
"Got it, let's go down!"
Zhao Gao waved his hand, and the spy fled away. In Zhao Gao's ears, a vicissitudes of voice suddenly sounded.
A swordsman, armed with a sword, appeared beside Zhao Gao. The swordsman looked ordinary, dressed in rags, and the sword in his hand was just an ordinary iron sword.
"What is the Descendant of the Moon Wolf?"
"It is a tribe of Hu people, and the classics record that the Hu people of this tribe are extremely good at taming animals and making poisons."
Zhao Gao's status is humble, but he has knowledge that does not match his identity.
"Really? can be worth a thousand war horses, presumably this Hu tribe is quite important to Touman. ”
Zhao Gao disagreed, and smiled contemptuously.
"A famous sword can kill, and the sword in your hand can kill, as long as it is used properly, there is no difference. No matter how big and terrible things are, when they are right, they can destroy even the smallest of things. ”
Zhao Gao's words, but the swordsman did not dare to agree, he has a strong attachment to the famous sword.
"Of course it's different, I hold an iron sword in my hand, just because I haven't found a suitable famous sword yet, do you think I'm willing to hold this iron sword all the time?"
"Don't worry, I'll let you get the water cut sooner or later."
Zhao Gao's words were filled with great confidence.
"The descendants of the Moon Wolf have finally found the connection between Hanyang-jun and the Great Commander of the Mo Family."
.......
When the night falls, on the mountains, overlooking the whole Xinzheng, there is a unique experience.
The majestic city sits between the mountains, in the darkness, flickering with a little light, and it is extremely strange.
"Lord, it has been found out that Touman is mobilizing fifty condor archers to prepare for a battle with the lord."
Zhao Shuang smiled, although this head man was very heroic, he was cunning and very well prepared.
The condor shooter is the elite of the Huns, and his archery skills are unparalleled. Touman dared to come far with the caravan, relying on this force.
On the other hand, it is bound to be a fierce battle.
However, what Zhao Shuang was worried about was the distant descendant of the Moon Wolf.
The descendants of the Moon Wolves recuperate in the Northlands, which are vast and sparsely populated. The place where they live is a horse farm under Zhao Shuang's command, with a large amount of ownerless land around it.
Because this horse farm is on the border, outside the Great Wall, it is not under the protection of the Qin army, so it has a great risk.
In fact, before Zhao Shuang took over, the previous owners of this horse farm were captured by the Hu people several times and suffered heavy losses.
But after the Descendants of the Moon Wolf took control, the situation changed.
The Qin people don't understand the operation of the Hu people, can the Hu people still not understand?
After the descendants of the moon wolf used various means to solve the Hu people who came to make trouble, Zhao Shuang's horse farm achieved stable development.
It's just that after Touman exposes this name to the world, the descendants of the moon wolf will definitely attract the attention of those who have a heart.
Compared with the threat from the Xiongnu, Zhao Shuang was more worried about the hostility within the Qin State.
With a bang, a thunderclap slashed down. Zhao Shuang raised his head, and the thick clouds rolled in the night.
"It's going to change."
