readx;?? The fighting strength of the nomads is mainly due to mobility and relatively speaking, because of the riding and archery skills that have been trained since childhood, the running and shooting like the wind has become a very difficult problem for the dynasties that need to face the border troubles of the nomads. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info (.. ）hp：／／／

However, in the face of the Central Plains Dynasty, the gap between the equipment and the lack of mobility will be easily defeated by the elite troops of the Central Plains Dynasty.

During the attack on this small Donghu tribe, the simple wolf-proof fence built on the periphery of the small tribe became the biggest problem for these Donghu people trapped in the camp.

The 5,000 Qin knights did not all directly attack the camp, but 3,000 people quickly penetrated the flanks of the camp from the southeast and southwest, and then surrounded the entire camp.

After the patriarch of this small tribe saw the plan of the Qin army, it was too late to think about breaking through. More than 4,000 Qin knights had already surrounded almost all of the Donghu people of this tribe in the camp.

From time to time, the screams of the arrows sounded in the sky, and among these people, the Donghu people accounted for a large part, because the Donghu people faced the Qin army, whose equipment was not at the same level at all, and on such an occasion, they were easily shot and killed by Sima Qi and the Qin army knights under the command of the intermediate.

Soon, the knights of the Qin army discovered a situation, that is, the sturdy men of this small tribe of Donghu who shot at them seemed to have been killed and wounded.

Faced with this situation, Sima Qi and the others bent their bows and arrows, and after shooting at each other, they knew that the time had come for them to launch a general attack.

"Kill everyone!!"

After hearing this, many Qin knights quickly put away the bows and crossbows in their hands, then drew their weapons and rode their horses to the camp of the Donghu people.

The simple anti-wolf fence could not resist the slashing of the Qin army's iron weapons at all, and many Qin knights quickly rushed into the territory after the people in front of them destroyed the fence.

Zhang Jiashi's order was to capture the camp of the Donghu people, and leave as few people and animals as possible!

Soon, a large number of the remaining old and weak women and children of the Donghu people died under the various weapons of the Qin army.

It's just that after Sima Qi and Jian entered the Donghu camp full of corpses, they found a situation, that is, there were actually some captured residents of northern Xinjiang in this camp.

Although they also knew that these captured people had in fact become slaves of the Donghu people, they were once all subjects of Great Qin or Yan.

How should this be dealt with? Suddenly, Sima Qi and several Qin army officers who had been appointed as captains didn't know what to do. But one sentence came out: "Ladies and gentlemen, you all know very well that we are not here to save people this time. ”

Sima Qi silently looked at more than a dozen Qianshou with different expressions and ragged clothes, and he nodded: "I know, but we can't leave them alone." ”

asked Sima Qi rhetorically: "Sima Junshou, what else do you want to do to let them follow us and continue to act?"

Sima Qi wanted to nod yes, but he knew very well that it was simply unrealistic for him to do so.

And a knight of the border army of Liaodong County, five hundred lords, said: "Lord County Guard, Captain, I have an idea, that is, let these people bring some food, and then let them go south on their own." ”

The words of the five hundred lords mean that these captured leaders will have their own destiny.

After hearing the advice of the five hundred masters, Sima Qi and Jian glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Sima Qi looked at those slaves, although he was a little unbearable, but he knew very well that the method that this captain said was undoubtedly the best way to deal with it.

At this time, the killing in the camp slowly came to an end......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Di Bu looked at Su Teng and his younger brother Li Cang, who was in the prisoner army, and touched his bald head embarrassedly. When he came out this time, Zhang Jiashi didn't know that if Zhang Jiashi found out that he actually left his post without authorization, even if he was beheaded by Zhang Jiashi in the future, it is estimated that there would be no place to reason.

He didn't know that he and Li Cang, the two commanders of the prisoner army, had left, and what would happen to the prisoner army. But he couldn't help it, because a few days ago in Dingxiang City, he saw a servant of one of his acquaintances anxiously looking for something.

As a result, after a detailed discussion in the past, Duo Bu found out that his uncle Wu Rui, who had been in contact with his family, and his daughter actually ran to Liaodong.

This is not the point, there are a few officials within Great Qin who really rely on those Yulu to support a large family. Wu Ji came this time, mainly to follow the caravan in partnership with the Wu family, and sell salt with the Donghu people.

This point, if it is discovered, at this time, it can already be regarded as the work of the three clans of the whole family.

And for Duo Bu, the really fatal thing is that Wu Ji actually followed the caravan and went to the territory of Donghu from some secret passages.

He didn't know the girl named Wu Ji, but due to the other party's plea, Di Bu could only secretly leave the barracks and follow Li Cang's team.

Su Teng and Li Cang, who heard the ins and outs of the matter, rolled their eyes helplessly.

Su Teng said helplessly: "Brother Dubu, if you do this, don't talk about whether the adults will trouble you afterwards, just because Donghu is so big, you can find the girl named Wu Ji." Even if you find it, maybe ......"

"I know, but I agreed, so I had to go out for a walk. He muttered depressedly.

To be honest, if he hadn't been coaxed by the cunning Wu family's servant "rhetoric", how could he have left the good position of following Zhang Jiashi and being able to make his fortune slowly?

Su Teng didn't speak again, but shook his head and chewed a piece of dried meat in his hand.

Li Cang, on the other hand, glanced at the cloth sympathetically, and then also chewed a piece of barbecue meat in his hand.

As for Tu Bu, he sighed helplessly, he could even imagine that Zhang Jiashi would be furious, and then let his guards drag him down to be executed.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

This time they attacked, Zhang Jiashi was equipped with the corresponding horse feeding essence for each knight, and these knights were equipped with these air-dried barbecue meat that could be eaten for a few days and was not easy to spoil.

Zhang Jiashi didn't think about what kind of dry food was similar to pancakes, but he found a very helpless situation, that is, the current grain, the cakes made of powder, can be said to be able to break the teeth......

It's not that dry food tastes like nowadays, but it doesn't have much practical use at all, because these powders ground from various grains are really not as good as pure flour.

Faced with this situation, Zhang Jiashi, who took a bite of this coarse grain cake, helplessly looked at the multigrain cake with a tooth mark in his hand...... He found that there seemed to be a lot more to be done.

In the end, Zhang Jiashi had to ask the man to make a barbecue that could be used for a few days, and after it was marinated and dried with coarse salt, it was distributed to each knight.

The reason why Zhang Jiashi did this was more because compared to his own lazy and spit out bad pancakes, the Donghu people themselves basically lived by herding and hunting, and it was also very possible to obtain supplies on the spot.

Therefore, this kind of food package is more effective in prolonging the survivability of the attacking troops.

Anyway, in Zhang Jiashi's estimate, the land is not as good as the sea, and no matter how bad the land is, you can find some leaves to supplement vitamins, and it is unlikely that you will be prone to sepsis like seafarers when you eat dried meat.

Under this premise, Zhang Jiashi, who knew that the ancients had their own set of ways to deal with sepsis, was not worried that this kind of thing would happen, in a sense, it was more of a self-seeking death.

Of course, it may be possible to develop a simpler and more effective drug, which will make it easier to avoid this problem.

This is a good choice, but with the scientific and technological development of the Qin Dynasty, don't think about it, even if Zhang Jiashi can invent high-transparency glass and come up with a relatively primitive purification method, I am afraid that he will not be able to make this thing.

Compared with this, the fruit juice salt of later generations is a better choice for Zhang Jiashi. Because of the shelf life of salt and the characteristics of chloride, it is only necessary to boil the juice mixed with salt again and dry it into a crystal, and salt crystals with a certain vitamin content can be obtained.

Of course, such a cost is difficult for Zhang Jiashi to accept.

The invention of preservatives is probably more reliable.

Of course, this matter is still early, at least, Zhang Jiashi doesn't think that in Daqin, there is any place where this kind of thing can be used.

Through this incident, Zhang Jiashi knows that there are still many things he has to do now.

For example, inventing a set of bronze distilled wine utensils, brewing highly distilled liquor with excessive copper elements, and selling it to the Huns, in addition to making money, can also pit the Huns, such a thing is not a bad thing.

Copper is more toxic, and people with severe copper poisoning will not end up much better than those with mercury poisoning.

In addition, the melting point and properties of bronze, a composite metal, are easier to integrate into food than copper alone.

Compared with this, perhaps the popularization of iron cookware is one of the major things that Zhang Jiashi wants to do.

The life span of the ancients was short, and there was an indirect relationship with cooking. In fact, brass cookware, as well as bronze cookware, has been a mainstream for a long time, and Zhang Jiashi certainly wants to avoid such a thing.

In order to "lead by example", when he was in Xianyang, Zhang Jiashi simply replaced the utensils in the mansion and the cooking camp in the army with complete sets of iron tools. Of course, for such an expense, Zhang Jiashi still asked Yingzheng for reimbursement.

Although the current effect is not obvious, Zhang Jiashi knows very well that this advantage, which is not an advantage, is enough to change many things.

Because the large-scale use of iron tools is not only the trend of the times, but also the inevitable development.

......

On the night after the knights set off, Zhang Jiashi did not return to his mansion in Dingxiang City, but sorted out a set of development methods in the military camp.

The performance of the current iron weapons is still not too obvious with the bronze weapons.

Such a problem is not a problem of the forging process of iron, but fundamentally, the temperature of forged iron often leads to the poor removal rate of impurities after smelting.

Again, this is not directly related to the burning material used as a smelt, because China was the first country to use coal on a large scale.

The purity of the coal may be one factor, but the main thing is that there is no blast furnace that can effectively smelt iron ore into molten iron.

Molten iron is the best way to effectively reduce the so-called 100 times of forging and 1,000 times of forging, and in later generations, it is often in the state of molten iron, after adding certain other elements, it is shaped into various steels.

That is to say, smelting iron ore into molten iron is the best way, reducing the number of forgings, and at the same or better strength, a weapon blacksmith can process one or even two more weapons with better performance under the same working hours.

Good quality iron ore is also a factor, in fact, Zhang Jiashi now includes the Anshan iron ore in later generations, and the poor is good quality coal and a suitable blast furnace.

In fact, presenting the Angang of later generations in a relatively backward state is the most feasible way for Zhang Jiashi, who is now contemplating.

It's a pity, that is, there is one point, the price increase is clear, and the best coal is not in his jurisdiction, but in Yanmen County.

This means that even if the Mo family, under the leadership of the invention madman Mo Shu, builds a blast furnace that Zhang Jiashi expects, or even exceeds expectations, then even if it sits on Anshan Iron Mine, without high-quality coal, the smelted steel is probably not so good.

"Shouldn't we think of a way to get a large amount of coal, or get the Datong Coal Mine in the future?" Zhang Jiashi was very silent, he slowly stopped his carving on the bamboo slips, and fell into deep thought.

For Zhang Jiashi, this is like a fish and a bear's paw that cannot be both. The location of the Datong coal mine is close to Taiyuan County, which is not too fatal, and the worst thing is that even if he wants to get support in this regard, I am afraid that the northern army under Meng Tian will not turn a blind eye either.

He is now just a general of the left, not a general, or a national lieutenant, or even a lieutenant.

There are some things that can be as different as a world apart.

Zhang Jiashi sighed slowly, put down the carving knife in his hand, relied on the light of the oil lamp in the camp tent, looked at the outside of the dark camp tent, and said slowly: "I don't know, what is their situation?"

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Unlike the Liaodong County cavalry, which opened on the first day and razed three or four thousand people to the ground, and Su Teng, Li Cang, and Zhang Jiashi's cavalry, who did not seem to find a suitable target on the first day and continued to advance along the Liao River, Su Jiao and Zhao Miao's 2,000 people, who were mixed troops, encountered a large group of tribes of the Donghu people who went south to graze their cattle because of the beginning of spring.

Originally, Su Jiao could also get a good start on this day, but before they trampled on the camp of the Donghu people and killed all the Donghu tribes, more than 20,000 Donghu knights discovered their existence.

"Captain Su!! didn't you send scouts?"

Zhao Miao, who was riding on a horse, with Su Jiao and his personal guards, followed the team, and kept running towards the southeast, looked back at the Donghu people who were desperately chasing them, and said this sentence angrily.

Although Zhao Miao's position was much lower than his, Su Jiao couldn't refute Zhao Miao's questioning.

Because the knights who served as scouts, under his command, all rushed into the camp and slashed the Donghu people.

If it weren't for Zhao Miao's team being in charge of blocking the way out to the north, they first saw the Donghu knights like a tide from a distance, and Zhao Miao, who was rendered by Zhang Jiashi's style, shot an arrow into the sky that represented the runaway, and directly led the troops to ride away.

It's not that he doesn't want to have a battle with the Donghu people, but for this kind of inevitable war, he has no interest in leaving the lives of himself and his knights to the other party.

So, he simply ran away.

And at this time, after stabbing the Chang Ge in his hand into the body of an old man of Donghu who was holding a bronze sword, yelling at him, and swooping over, he heard the special sound produced by the sound of the arrow flying by, Su Jiao raised his head suspiciously, and gently pulled out Chang Ge, who had inserted himself into the other party's body.

As a result, he saw the dense and rapidly approaching figures in the north.

"Retreat !!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Jiao simply shouted out this sentence loudly.

This may be changed to others, and they will not accept it. However, Zhang Jiashi used strict orders to lead the troops to retreat under the premise that the situation did not permit, which was something that must be done.

If he didn't do this, Zhang Jiashi, as General Zuo and his current boss, would definitely make trouble for him.

The premise is that after fighting this group of Donghu cavalry, which is definitely not less than 20,000 people, he can still return to Dingxiang City alive.

As a result, this scene appeared.

The two thousand knights of the Qin army ran desperately towards the Great Wall, while the Donghu cavalry behind them stopped chasing for some reason after chasing for a while, and quickly left the way they came.

Su Jiao and Zhao Miao, who knew that they seemed to have gotten rid of the danger, slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"What should I do next, do you want to go back?" Zhao Miao could say that he had palpitations, after all, such a thing was not fun. If something goes wrong with the mount, if it is thrown off the horse or left behind, it is definitely dead.

Su Jiao shook his head, calmed the breath in his chest, and said, "No, we will continue to fulfill the order to be a general from other places." If it is known that we have been driven back, what face will we have to meet our comrades in the future?"

Zhao Miao wanted to say something, but he felt that Su Jiao's opinion was more reasonable......

As a result, after not feeling the existence of the group of Donghu knights, Su Jiao and Zhao Miao continued to take their knights and went north again in other directions......
