The military horses of the Great Qin Empire were mainly supplied to chariot troops and knights, of course, some military horses of slightly inferior quality were also equipped for use in logistics and transportation troops. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info: efefd

In the Great Qin Empire under the rule of Zhang Jiashi, the number of horses was not too small on the whole, but the number of war horses suitable for the corresponding combat purposes still could not meet the needs of many aspects.

In the horse configuration of the Great Qin Empire, civilian horses were also used as military auxiliaries for transportation purposes. Within the current Great Qin Empire, a new transportation system has been formed along the road at the gallop level, that is, tricycle transportation.

Although in many ways, even if the tricycle is transported on the galloping road, there are still many gaps compared to the horse-drawn carriage, it is undeniable that the emergence of this new industry has effectively improved the material mobilization ability of the Great Qin Empire and as a product that has led to the solution of many aspects of the industry and personnel work problems.

Although a tricycle cannot be equipped with rubber wheels, its steel and parts grinding and production also need the support of other industries, which means that in terms of the tricycle industry of the Great Qin Empire, an industrial chain has been formed.

On the one hand, it can be said that it is a new attempt for the Great Qin Empire. The results of such attempts are quite encouraging.

Although there are still many problems to be solved in some aspects, especially this tricycle business is difficult to be satisfied with as a transportation human business.

After all, there is no rubber tire as an important means of buffering, this kind of tricycle can shake people's bones apart, so Zhang Jiashi also hopes that rickshaws or something, but just like the development history of bicycles, the emergence of rubber tires is a real bicycle industry revolution.

Bicycles, also known as bicycles or bicycles, are usually small land vehicles with two wheels. After people ride on the car, they are powered by pedals, which is a green and environmentally friendly means of transportation.

Year 1790. There was a Frenchman named Sifrak, who was very brainy. One day, he was walking on a street in Paris, because it had rained the day before, and there was a lot of rain on the road, and it was very difficult to walk. Suddenly, a four-wheeled carriage rolled in from behind him. The street was narrow, and the carriages were wide. Sifrak ducked around and was lucky not to be hit by a car, but was still splashed with mud and rain. When others saw it, they felt sorry for him, and they were so angry that they scolded and wanted to call the carriage to stop and negotiate reasonably. But Sifrak muttered, "Stop shouting, stop shouting, let them go." The carriage was far away, and he was still standing on the side of the road. He was thinking: the road is so narrow, and there are so many pedestrians, why can't we change the structure of the carriage? After trial and error, in 1791 the first "Wooden Horse Wheel" car was built. This earliest bicycle was made of wood, and it had a relatively simple construction. There is neither a drive nor a steering device, so the cyclist pushes his feet and can only get out of the bike and move the bike when changing direction. Even so, when Sifrak rode the bike for a ride around the park, those present were amazed and amazed.

Year 1816. In Germany, there was a forester named Dres, who walked from one grove in the east of the village to another in the west of the village every day, year after year. He thought: if people sit in a car, stop and go, and do whatever they want, wouldn't it be very chic. It looks like something Sifrak made. However, a handlebar that controls direction is added to the front wheel to change the direction of travel. However, when riding, you still need to use both feet to step on the ground one at a time to push the bike forward. When Dresse rode out for a test, he was ridiculed by many people along the way. Still, he loves his "cute pony bike". Once, when Dresse was riding a cart, the coachman laughed at him and said that his car was slow, so he said to the coachman, "Believe it or not, my cart is faster than yours," and the two of them made a bet. The distance was a round trip from the east of the village to the west of the village, and as a result, Drice was more than an hour faster than the coachman.

In 1888, Dunlop, an Irish veterinarian, got inspiration from curing a cow's bloated stomach, and he glued the rubber pipe used for watering in his home garden into a circle, put it on the wheel of a bicycle, and went to participate in a bicycle race, which actually came out on top and aroused great interest. Pneumatic tires are an epoch-making innovation in the history of bicycle development, which increases the elasticity of the bicycle and will not vibrate due to uneven road surfaces, and at the same time greatly increases the driving speed and increases the friction between the wheels and the road surface. In this way, the riding performance of the bicycle is fundamentally changed and the use function of the bicycle is improved.

Of course, it is interesting that the bicycle was not named as such by the inventor at first, but in 1866 the Qing Dynasty sent the first overseas expedition, in which the 19-year-old boy Zhang Deyi used the word "bicycle" in his travelogue, so the word bicycle appeared for the first time and has been used to this day.

Zhang Jiashi has not tried to use springs as a trade-off in this regard. But in fact, there is still no improvement that can be justified by such an improvement.

Therefore, if Zhang Jiashi wants to develop this industry, the most fundamental problem is to find rubber tree seeds, and then plant them on a large scale at the right time.

Of course, the research and development of synthetic rubber is also an idea, but with the current chemical level of the Great Qin Empire, such an idea can be fed to dogs. After all, this gap in the level of science and technology, Zhang Jiashi does not think that it can be crossed in a short period of time.

Dividing line

After resisting the attack of this group of Xiongnu riders, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu was hesitating what he should do at this time.

Judging from the current situation, if he does not defeat the Qin army that came to reinforce the Eastern Hu people, then it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to eliminate the remnants of the Hu people. But judging from the combat effectiveness shown by the Qin army, defeating the Qin army will undoubtedly cost a lot of money, and it will not even be able to defeat the other party.

So in such a situation, King Zuoxian of the Huns hesitated. He had two thoughts in his mind, whether to defeat the Qin army or to abandon the battle for the time being, and let the remaining riders retreat with all their troops for the next day.

But the latter thought, Zuo Xianwang himself knows, this should be a better choice. But for King Zuo Xian, he was unwilling.

If at the beginning, he chose to retreat with all his troops. Then for the entire battle trend, although there will be no change, at least more than 6,000 Hun riders can survive.

In a short time of two or three hours of melee, the Huns who fell under the Qin army were no less than 6,000 people. This can be said to be the result of King Zuo Xian's obstinence.

And for King Zuo Xian, the most fatal loss was not the more than 6,000 Hun riders who died in the hands of the Qin army, but under the hands of the Donghu people who fought back desperately. Deployments with more than 10,000 casualties.

King Zuo Xian did not expect that the Donghu people were certainly very consumed and suffered even more casualties. However, the energy of the Donghu people who were desperate to survive was the most important reason why the Hun riders paid a heavier price in a short period of time.

This time, although King Zuo Xian wanted to retreat, the huge loss made him really unwilling to face the idea of retreating.

He knew that he still seemed to have some advantages in terms of troops, and if he could expel the Qin army back to the south in the next battle, then the Donghu people, who were already at the end of the crossbow, would inevitably lose their last will to fight.

This is for King Zuo Xian. It became a great temptation that he couldn't shake off.

Although it was impossible to completely annihilate this Qin army, to defeat this Qin army and then force the other party to retreat, King Zuo Xian thought that the officers and soldiers under his command could still do it.

In many cases, the change of history is often the difference between the thoughts of people who have the ability to change history

If it weren't for King Zuo Xian's choice to continue fighting, I am afraid that the outcome of the entire Qin-Hun War would have undergone fundamental changes.

This can also be said to be a test given by God to the parties

If King Zuo Xian chooses to retreat with the whole army at the moment, then for the entire Great Qin Empire. It will be necessary to devote a considerable part of the energy to guard against the possible deterioration of the situation north of Liaoning County, or even the Donghu people being defeated and annexed by the Huns and having to face the pressure of the Huns on the entire area of the Great Wall and consume the national strength that has not yet recovered much, and finally even if Zhang Jiashi does his best, maybe the Great Qin Empire will follow in the footsteps of Qin II.

Although the current loss of strength of King Zuo Xian is quite serious, he still has a considerable strength advantage over the Donghu people. If the Qin army returned to Liaoning County after this. The Donghu people were still unable to resist the large-scale attack of the Huns alone, and at that time, the Donghu people, who had lost their last vitality, could not hold out until the time when the next batch of Qin reinforcements arrived.

The Donghu people were destroyed and annexed by the Huns, and under this premise, it was only a matter of time.

Perhaps, the position of King Zuo Xian was replaced by Mao Dun or a few accomplished Shan Yu in later generations. Maybe it will change history. But history does not assume that this Xiongnu Zuo Xian King, the last choice was his own choice that affected the trend of the Huns' national fortunes.

For Zhang Jiashi, who still doesn't know yet, he naturally doesn't know that he will become a winner in the end because of the wrong choice of the other party.

Without the Xiongnu Zuoxian King's "willful action" or desperate betting, I am afraid that the pressure of the Xiongnu on the Great Qin Empire would be even more dangerous than the siege of Baishan Mountain in the early Han Dynasty.

Whether the Great Qin Empire can resist the full-scale invasion of the Huns when it expires is more about being able to do its best and obey the destiny of heaven.

If it weren't for the desperate gamble of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, the strength of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King suffered heavy losses, and he could not eliminate the Donghu who was also greatly reduced in strength in a short period of time, Zhang Jiashi would have lost a new force in the Qin-Hun Great Wall Battle that broke out a year later.

This new force happens to be the Eastern Great Wall Corps of Su Jiao and Yu Jian.

At this time, although he did not participate in this war, he led 20,000 infantry from the mountains to the area controlled by the Donghu people under the guidance of the Donghu people.

The main reason for this practice was to avoid the rear of the Donghu people from being successfully attacked by the Huns.

Because according to Su Jiao and his speculation, the Huns attacked Donghu on a large scale this time, and it is very likely that they still have a backhand.

After all, the current Donghu troops are insufficient, and they are basically unable to effectively resist the invasion of the Huns in many aspects, and can only concentrate the remaining main force to resist the enemy in one of the directions of the Huns, leaving the old, weak, sick and disabled to guard the last foundation.

This can be said to be a sorrow for the Donghu people. Of course, if the Donghu people knew that Zhang Jiashi was completely to blame for the current miserable situation of the Donghu people, and if he did not die, maybe Zabehe would directly launch an attack on the Qin army, hoping to die a happy death.

Of course, it's a pity that don't say that Zabehe doesn't know such a situation, even Su Jiao and others don't know that Zhang Jiashi has such an idea.

Su Jiao did not understand the idea that Yujian wanted to directly lead the army over the mountains and mountains to the area controlled by the Donghu people at such a time. Because if the Huns really had such a plan, they would probably be in danger in the face of the main force of the Huns who had already captured that area.

But at this time, he took out a draft of the terrain, he pointed to the north of the area controlled by the Donghu people, marked with a mark of a stretch of mountains, and said with a smile: "If this topographic map is correct, then the difficulty and time required for the Huns to climb the mountains will not be worse than ours." ”

Su Jiao heard this, and then after looking at the map, he nodded: "In this case, you have to be careful, after all, for the Donghu people, the other party may not fully trust us." ”

"But then again, where did you get this thing" Su Jiao suddenly remembered something, and then looked at Yu Jian with a strange expression, and said his own problem.

And Yuma smiled slightly, and then whispered: "Well, maybe the king himself doesn't pay attention to his whimsical works, and he will disappear." ”

Su Jiao, who heard Yujian's words, looked at Yujian with a strange expression, and was silent for a long time before saying: "You, if the king knows that you have this kind of past, maybe you really fight with the Huns, and let you watch your family without saying a word." ”

After hearing Su Jiao's words, he smiled and didn't say anything more.

When it was almost dusk, Su Xuan and Chen Heng, who first rushed to the two wings of the crossbow chariot troops, saw the Huns galloping from afar with more than 50,000 people almost at the same time.

And at such a time, both of them gasped in unison, because they knew with their knees that the Huns were obviously planning to eat them this time. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation.
