Chapter 461: Sharp Weapon
Chapter 461, Sharp Weapons, the two of them talked carefully for a while under the city, but the people around them were far away, and no one could hear what these two bigwigs were talking about.
Although there are many powerful people among the guards around the two, if they eavesdrop intently, they may not be able to hear it, but they are just two famous bigwigs in the world talking secretly, who dares to eavesdrop?
I saw that after Hughes said something to Char, Char showed a thoughtful expression on his face, Hughes continued to say a few more words, Fuya shook his head slightly at first, and retorted two sentences, but in the end, he seemed to be moved by Hughes, and his face gradually showed a little smile, and in his expression, he seemed to be quite moved by what Hughes said.
At the end of the conversation, the two of them each looked at each other a few times, and then they both smiled slightly.
Hughes immediately raised his hand, and from the city gate, more than a dozen soldiers ran out and carried them out. The big boxes, those boxes were covered with cowhide, and I don't know what was inside, but it was very laborious to see the soldiers carrying the boxes when they walked, and it was obvious that the contents of the boxes were extremely heavy.
Char just sat on the back of the horse and didn't move, just tilted his head, and naturally his guards got off the horse and took over the boxes. The cavalry of his personal guards were all "strong horses", "strong warriors strengthened with muscle fruits, and their strength was infinite, and those heavy boxes, in the hands of Armenian soldiers, it took three or five people to lift a mouthful, and here in Char, a cavalryman dismounted and went over, grabbed two of them in one hand, and then moved them directly.
Hughes was also dumbfounded, and after being stunned, he couldn't help but sigh: "General Char actually has such a tiger and wolf under him, no wonder he can dominate the northern frontier." I'm only afraid of the beast soul warriors of the Odin, but that's it*......"
Char smiled faintly: "What are the beast soul warriors, which of these personal guards and cavalry around me has not killed a few beast soul warriors*......"
As he spoke, he waved his hand at Hughes: "Lord Hughes, that's all I have to say, let's see what happens in the future*......"
Hughes didn't seem to care about Char's ambiguous words, just smiled slightly, and raised his hand to make a gesture of sending off the guest.
Char stopped talking, turned his horse back to his team, and turned around with the cavalry.
As soon as the cavalry team turned around, one of the horsemen suddenly broke away, pointed to the city gate in the distance, and shouted: "Geri!!"
The voice is full of resentment and hatred!
This man is naturally Nigur.
Nigur was originally tall and burly, even though in Char's personal guard, "surrounded by strong cavalry warriors strengthened with muscle fruits, all of them were tall, and Nigur's physique was still not inferior."
At this moment, he broke away from the team, "The prancing horse was in front, and he shouted loudly. The captain of the Zhou Guards in the team immediately changed color, and shouted angrily: "Nigul! What are you doing!,"
Char raised his hand to stop the captain of the guard, and looked at Nigul with a smile.
Nigur looked sad and angry, and shouted twice on his horse, and when he saw the Armenian army under the city gate, Gree slowly walked out.
Gerry's handsome face was a little pale, and he looked a lot thinner, looked at Ni Gul, and said coldly and loudly: "Ni Gur! What do you want!" Ni Gur was uncontrollable in grief and indignation, and pointed at Gerry and shouted: "You and I have a blood feud, and we don't share the sky!" Gerry smiled coldly: "You want to kill me, see if you have the ability." Nigur looked up to the sky and roared, but he shouted: "What about Martha*......"
Gerry was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "You fool, you are still thinking of Martha! tell you, Martha is in the city, and she is already my woman*......"
Nigur turned his horse around in place, and suddenly pulled out a wolf's tooth arrow from his quiver, and shouted: "I swear to kill you both!
After speaking, "he broke the arrow in his hand in two and threw it on the ground", turned around and turned his horse back to his team.
Char just glanced at him, didn't speak, and went directly with the people on horseback.
Under the city gate, Gerry's face was different, listening to Nigur's blood swear just now, after all, he felt a little weak in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, just looked at Hughes by his side, quickly straightened up, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
Hughes looked at Gerry but patted him on the shoulder, and said gently: "Don't pay attention to that guy, now he is just a lost dog, a small pawn in the Xia Ya army." You've done a great job for me, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had a chance to break the city*......"
Ge Li was a little settled in his heart, but he couldn't help but say, "My lord...... , that Char thundered, I already knew him, this person is very cunning, can't be gullible......" Hughes looked at Gerry, and saw that Gerry was a little weak-hearted, and Hughes said lightly: "I naturally have a number." "I have the heart to cooperate with him, as for whether he is a disobedience to the yang or a reversal afterwards, it doesn't matter." As he spoke, he pointed around and said with a smile: "Only today I met with him at this city gate, and thousands of pairs of eyes watched this matter, and in a few days this news will naturally spread and spread to the imperial capital, then Adrick and others must know......! As long as they knew that Char and I had met here, they would naturally guess what the outcome would be...... As long as they are suspicious, my purpose has been achieved. Char returned to the brigade and had the things Hughes send thrown onto the van and didn't rush to check them.
The procession continued to walk, but someone came to see Char, but it was the Junker general.
Juncker, dressed in a plain robe, without armor, dressed as a samurai, met Char and said that Sophie had asked Char to come over to discuss something.
Char was curious, so he rode his horse to the team.
As a disciple of Kavehill, Sophie was naturally treated favorably in Char's army. One person rode in a big carriage, and the carriage was also brought by herself, and it was the one that Char had ridden with her at the beginning, of course, the coachman naturally could not let the little duke of Roddy take on it.
When Fuya came to the carriage, he saw the carriage window open, and a delicate face poked his head out of the window, looked at Char and smiled: "General." ,”
"What are you looking for me......" Char looked into the other's eyes.
"I heard that the general just met with Hughes. Sophie's voice was calm and calm.
"Hmm*......" Char's heart moved: "This matter, I have to ask you to help me analyze it, what does Hughes mean...... ,”
Sophie glanced at Char and said lightly: "The general already has an idea in his heart, why bother to test me, a little Ru child."
Char smiled, not embarrassed, and said directly: "Hughes wants to buy me and let me help lead the Besta people one by one, one by one, hey, one by one, one by one" Sophie listened, nodded and said: "General Adric reorganizes the army, and he will counterattack in the near future." The Armenian Military District was the closest to the imperial capital, so it was naturally the first target to bear the brunt. And the Besta Military Region is just behind the Armenian Military District, the Besta people surrendered to the empire, Hughes's worry is nothing more than that when Adric's army attacked, the Besta attacked from behind at the same time, although the Armenian Military District was strong, but if it was a two-front battle, it would be dangerous. It is not surprising that Hughes feared harassment from behind by the Besta and wanted to cooperate with the general. If you help contain the Besta people, "it will be very good for Hughes......"
Fu Ya laughed: "The Besta people have defected to the Empire, am I just a rebel? I am also the general of the Northern Garrison of the Empire, the Duke of the Empire, how can I cooperate with a rebel like Hughes." This Hughes is a mistaken idea*......"
Sophie smiled faintly and glanced at Char: "Oh, is the general really with the Empire?" Char was stunned and didn't speak.
Sophie sighed: "Alas. It's a pity that His Majesty Emperor Garcia is so ignorant! If he had let go of the mustard in his heart and treated the general with sincerity, it would not have been like this. Although the royal family has named you the general of the northern garrison, "but the reward for the title is to make an article, this news came out, people who have a little heart, who still don't understand, the royal family is actually afraid of the general, you and the royal family are by no means the same heart, Hughes is a smart person, will naturally judge it, of course, will feel that there is an article to do. "Flies don't bite seamless eggs!
If the royal family and Char are really united, then naturally there is nothing to say...... But the current situation seems that "people who are a little smarter will naturally be able to analyze from the details that Char's "egg" "has a big gap to take advantage of!"
To be honest, if it weren't for the existence of someone like Adric, Char might really cooperate with Hughes because of his relationship with Adric.
Anyway, he is not really a Byzantine, and he has no loyalty to the emperor of any country.
What's more, today's emperor still doesn't forget to calculate himself all the time.
Char smiled and said, "No matter what, Hughes's woo has failed. I naturally laughed at the things he gave me, and wanted me to help, but there was no door to ......."
Su Jianyi frowned: "It's not really a failure*......"
She sighed: "The general and Hughes met here, and the news reached the imperial capital, if someone with a heart deliberately spread it...... thinks that the general really colluded with Hughes in private, and when he crusades against the Armenian Military District in the future, he will naturally have more concerns. Char smiled, looked at the girl in front of him, and couldn't help but think in his heart: This girl really has a doorway.
Sophie raised her head and looked at Fuya: "I'm afraid that the general himself knows this, right?" otherwise, he wouldn't have agreed to meet Hughes in the city so easily...... The general is not a reckless person!" Char looked at the girl in front of him seriously1 and nodded: "Yes, even if the news of my private meeting with Hughes reaches the imperial capital, the emperor and the prime minister will suspect me, but General Adric will never suspect me! The General was convinced that I was a human being and "would not think that I was in collusion with Hughes......"
Sophie frowned: "So the general is still so ...... , isn't it ......" said, glancing at Char, the meaning on his face seemed to say: Aren't you looking for trouble yourself?
Fu Ya laughed: "Anyway, even if I don't do anything, the emperor and the prime minister will look at me unpleasantly! I met with Hughes, and the news came back, which added to the heart of the rabbit emperor, and Lao Tzu was also very happy, hahahaha...... Besides, Hughes also sent some things, and if you don't take it for nothing, you're a fool *......"
Sophie couldn't help but smile bitterly.
The Char general was "a child's animal...... deliberately met Hughes privately, just to make the emperor feel a groove............
The procession walked "in the evening when it stopped at a village.
Char's army was "surrounded by small groups of Armenian cavalry from afar, and long before Char's army arrived in this village, Armenian troops drove all the people in this village and "*......" out of the village for Char's army to station.
The two families have come up with a bit of peace and harmony. The army rested and camped in this village for the night, replenished fresh water, and recuperated in horsepower.
In the evening, Char asked people to move the boxes sent by Hughes and open them one by one.
The contents of the more than a dozen boxes presented by Hughes are really not small!
The four pieces of armor with excellent texture, all of which are made of fine Armenian goods and have the best steel, are made in the shape of the "hill armor" used by high-ranking generals of the empire.
Armenia is rich in iron ore, famous for the sophistication of weapons and armor, these four sets of armor, really are first-class good things, well-made, at a glance it is made by craftsmen with painstaking efforts!
These four sets of high-grade Qiushan armor alone, if they are taken out and sold, "will be worth no less than twenty or thirty thousand gold coins."
In the other few boxes, there were neatly arranged pieces of iron.
Char was a little puzzled at first, but then the ordnance officer in the army next to him saw it and recognized it.
"General, this is the finest iron spirit from Armenia!"
Char was stunned, he hadn't heard of this thing.
The ordnance officer explained: "Armenia is rich in high-quality iron ore, and the armor is the best on the mainland. Their smelting skills are also superb. Although the swords and weapons used by ordinary soldiers in our army are also made of fine iron, the Armenians have a special smelting technique to turn good iron into iron spirit! However, the cost is huge, and legend has it that ten catties of good iron can only be used to make two or three catties of iron spirit! This iron spirit has gone to the impurities, and it is the most pure and sophisticated, if it is made into a weapon, it will be a first-class sharp weapon!,"
The armorer said, "Glancing at Char, my lord, I like to collect these weapons the most" and I have a weapon made of iron from Armenia, you will know it as soon as you try it. As he spoke, the armoured officer pulled out a dagger from his boot and offered it to Char with both hands.
Fu Ya took it, and this dagger looked like it was dark on the blade, "If it weren't for the faint glow of a little cold light, it would look a little worse than the appearance of an ordinary dagger weapon."
His heart moved slightly, "Randomly pulled out a sword from the waist of the guard next to him, and the dagger in his left hand" The long sword in his right hand, his hands were balanced and forcefully slashed with each other, and he heard a crisp sound of "sonorous", and when he raised it, the dagger was intact, and the sword brocade was already missing the size of a fingernail. !
When Char saw it, his face moved slightly!
You must know that the guards around him are the most elite "strong cavalry" in his northern army! Such a first-class elite unit is also equipped with the best weapons in his own army! The long sword in his hand is also made of fine iron and stone, and it can be said that it is a cut above the weapons used by the imperial central army.
But he was actually killed by this dagger, and he was cut out of a gap at once. If you use such weapons on the battlefield when you encounter the enemy, won't your army suffer a great loss?
In such a comparison, if the enemy uses sharp weapons such as daggers and swords, he is afraid that the swords in his hands will break if he can't slash them a few times!
As soon as the ordnance officer saw Char's face, he understood the general's worries, and said slowly: "My lord, although the weapon made by this iron spirit is Jinli, but because the cost is too high, ten catties of good iron can make two or three catties of iron spirit, and forging weapons, there is more fire consumption in the forging process, so it is very difficult to build weapons." Although the Armenian Military District is known for its elite equipment, it is impossible for the entire army to equip such a weapon made of iron courage. I have heard that in the Armenian army, only officers of the rank of captain and above are qualified to wear such weapons, but ordinary sergeants, but not. "Is it equipped?
When Char heard this, her brows furrowed.
Yang Zhanting military system, fifty for the team.
In other words, one person in every five abundant Armenian troops is equipped with such a sharp weapon.
"You mean that the Armenian army did not have such weapons in any army?"
Char looked at the ordnance officer, who groaned slightly, and said: "My lord, before I served in the Central Army, I spent two years in the Ordnance Department of the Imperial Capital Military Department. I have also been to the Armenian army, and I have heard that such boats, which are indeed rare in the Armenian army, are "not equipped with any army." I heard that "the cost and labor cost of building a weapon made of iron will add up to dozens of gold coins!" For the Armenian army, dozens of gold coins can recruit many soldiers, so why spend money to build a weapon. When Char heard this, he sneered: "Stupid! waste!" The armory officer listened, and he didn't know what the general meant by "stupid waste."
Fuya immediately sighed and said lightly: "It's ridiculous that the Armenians still claim to be elite-equipped, but they don't know how to use such sharp weapons well, and they are only rationed to officers...... Hmph! His Armenian army has tens of thousands of troops, and if there are 50 people with one such weapon, there are also hundreds of such sharp weapons! But it is scattered among the officers of the whole army to be used as a kind of decoration, and it is not a waste? If I am the commander in chief and have such weapons in my hands, I will naturally concentrate all of them on equipping an elite army! Even if I am only equipped with a few hundred people, on the battlefield, with these hundreds of people holding such sharp weapons and charging into battle, they will become a force that can influence the situation of the battle! It's ridiculous that Hughes, who really doesn't understand military strategy, is a good thing, but he uses it as a decoration for officers...... Stupid! Doesn't he understand that good weapons are for use, not for officers to show off!,"
He then looked at the boxes in front of him. There are seven or eight boxes containing these iron spirits, and the total is nothing more than a few hundred catties of iron spirits...... These hundreds of pounds of iron spirit can't fight many weapons" I want to come to Hughes to give it to myself, and I only think that I can fight a small number of some excellent weapons" to reward the generals in the army.
But I don't know Char's temperament, the most practical, this kind of good thing, if it is not used by the soldiers, but given to the generals as a decoration to reward" is simply a shameful waste.
"It's a pity, there are hundreds of catties of iron spirit here" can't fight much martial arts...... Alas, if only I could get more. The armorer listened to Char's sigh, and his face suddenly moved, and he said, "Da Can...... , and maybe there are also Shu ...... , when it comes to building weapons, it's the old business of his subordinates. If you want to create an elite weapon, a weapon, you don't actually need to use all the materials of this kind of high-quality material. For example, the war spear used in the army can be made of ordinary materials, and the tip of the gun can be made of high-quality fine iron. If you make a sword weapon, you only need to refine fine iron on the blade, and it is a good knife! Although it is slightly worse than the real sharp weapon made of all good materials, but in actual combat, it is not much worse*......"
When Char heard this, his face was happy: "What do you mean...... These hundreds of catties of iron...*......" The ordnance officer quickly calculated in his heart: "If you make a saber for cavalry, a saber, you only need to refine a small amount of iron spirit on the material of the blade, and the sharpness of it will not be worse than that of all real iron weapons." If calculated in this way, a saber can only refine the blade, and a pound of iron will not be used...... Hundreds of catties of iron here, creating hundreds of first-class good sabers, is more than enough!,"
Char was very happy when he heard this, and immediately made a decision: "You move all these boxes! Return to Denzel City, and this matter will be left to you! If you can make hundreds of good sabers, I will promote you to the Commissioner of the Ordnance Department!" With this unexpected gain, Char was very happy.
He has 500 strong horsemen, and in terms of combat effectiveness, he can be said to be invincible in the world. If you can have such sharp weapons and equipment, it will be like a tiger with wings, and the combat power will be stronger by three points!
He was in a good mood, and after the ordnance officer stepped down, Char walked out of the room with his hands and went outside, scattering at will, and just after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard a "pop," but it was the sound of a leather whip.
I saw that more than ten steps ahead, the captain of his personal guard was holding a leather whip in his hand, glaring angrily, and was enforcing military law.
And the person who was whipped was lying on several stacked boxes, ** on his upper body, and there were already several whip marks on his back.
When Char saw it, he immediately recognized it, and it was Nigur who was whipped.
His heart moved, and he walked over.
"What's going on?"
