Chapter 472: The Eagle's Sharpness
In the Mo family, the name of the special cavalry of the Black Cavalry can be said to be known to everyone. Although this cavalry has not made the feat of 8,000 across the territory of the Tang Kingdom, from the establishment of the Mo family to the present, this cavalry army has been active in the major battlefields of the Mo family and even the northern grasslands, and its prestige even overshadows the ghost cavalry of Qingzhou.
To this day, the Mo family's black cavalry has won countless wars, and under Wang Xuanwei's hands, this elite cavalry has become a sharp sword in the dark, and every time it appears, it can almost directly lay the victory.
"This was originally a place for training black horses, and these equipment are enough to equip a team of 10,000 black horses. Looking at the puzzled eyes of Qin Ke and the others, Wang Xuanwei explained softly: "Originally, I had written to the giant to increase the number of black horses by 50,000, and secretly arranged to practice in various places. The black cavalry trained in the Daming Mountains can gallop to the east to aid Xingzhou, and to the south can assemble with the army and point to Jingwu. But this is only half the way through, and the Confucian scholars of the DPRK and China jointly wrote a letter, saying that I was wasting the people's wealth and using military force in vain. In the end, the giant couldn't resist the pressure and withdrew the order, and the 50,000 black horsemen dispersed. ”
He said self-deprecatingly: "Interestingly, just a few months after this incident came to an end, the spies came with news from Canghai, saying that Cao Meng had also secretly established various camps in the territory, dedicated to cultivating tiger and leopard riders, and even today, these tiger and leopard riders should also be active in all parts of my Mo family's territory, but so far Cao Meng has not let them take the initiative to appear." And the training facility here has been abandoned for a long time, and I didn't think it would come in handy at such a time, which is really interesting. ”
He said it funny, but instead of smiling, it revealed a bitterness, but he happened to be standing in a dark place, and no one could see his expression.
After that, Wang Xuan said calmly: "Take off the Tang Army armor on your bodies, now that you are here, you don't have to hide your tracks anymore." ”
Tu Ergou's hands holding the black leather armor stiffened slightly, followed by a burst of ecstasy that was difficult to hide, Wang Xuanwei said let them take off the existing armor, so to speak...... Are you going to get them to change into the gear here?
He didn't know how many times in his life he had dreamed that he had been drafted into the Black Cavalry, but it had always been a dream that was out of reach for him, but now this dream was about to come true!
Thinking of this, he laughed, full of joy, he didn't even untie his armor so neatly, and his mouth was hairy: "Wear it! Wear it! Lao Tzu can wear this body in this life, it's enough!"
The Mo cavalry listened to Tu Ergou's scolding, and they all laughed loudly, and then they scattered and began to snatch their own piece of equipment, and in less than half an hour, the sabers on the weapon rack were distributed to everyone's hands one by one.
Qin Ke had the Bodhisattva Sword in his hand, so naturally he didn't need to change his weapon, but he still curiously held the saber that belonged to the black horse, and was surprised that they were far lighter than he imagined, with a stable center of gravity, and every swing could make the soldiers on the horse exert their maximum strength.
One can imagine how fearful its enemies would be in the face of such a sharp weapon.
And even more important are those black hand crossbows of the Mohist unique standard.
In the tomb of King Ye, Qin Ke had seen these crossbows before, but in the face of the giant snakes that were difficult to injure with knives and guns, even if these crossbow arrows could be shot into their bodies, it was difficult to hurt their lungs, so it didn't make Qin Ke feel very powerful.
But at this moment, when he held the crossbow in his hand, he completely changed his original opinion.
This two-foot-long crossbow may seem lightweight, but it can shoot five arrows at a time, and at the same time, it can be adjusted by the mechanism to change to a single arrow burst, and after each shot, you only need to pull the mechanism with one hand, and the bowstring will be tightened, and the second crossbow arrow will be pushed onto the bowstring again.
But the funny thing is that most of the people present have never really touched such a crossbow, and it is a bit of a rush to use, and many people even tossed for a long time and couldn't get the crossbow arrows to shoot out of it.
Qin Ke held the crossbow in his hand, he tightened his index finger with a slight frown, the moment the trigger was pulled, a black crossbow arrow suddenly left the string, and in the flickering of the fire, the crossbow arrow had already crossed a distance of thirty steps, and it was in front of a wooden box, and the arrow was stuck in it, and the arrow feathers trembled slightly.
"Good stuff. Seeing this power, Abu immediately sighed: "Although it may not be as powerful as your fierce arrow, if you assemble the entire cavalry and command it at the right time, I am afraid that anyone who sees it will have to flee." ”
Qin Ke nodded, and glanced at the big bow he was carrying behind him, compared to a larger bow, such a crossbow arrow is more suitable for cavalry, it can be operated with one hand, which is convenient for controlling the horse, and at the same time, the strength is far stronger than the arrow shot by hastily pulling the bow.
By the time all the Mo cavalry had replaced the leather armor of the Tang soldiers and put horse armor on the horses, this cavalry had completely changed its appearance.
The fine saber was cut out of the scabbard, but the crossbow at the waist was black and shiny, perhaps their war horse lacked a uniform black because it was not a war horse exclusively for black horses, but a sharp aura had gradually emanated from their bodies.
Perhaps this is an aura that belongs to the Black Knights, and although they are not Black Riders, they put on their armor and everyone seems to be one with the departed Heroes.
It was also the first time for Qin Ke to wear such sophisticated equipment, especially the leather armor above the black cavalry general level also came with an additional heart guard made of stainless steel, even if he couldn't prevent the full stab of the second realm cultivator, it also gave him an unparalleled sense of security.
He reached out and stroked his chest, Xiao Hei was no longer in his chest at this time, he felt a little empty in his heart. Xiao Hei stood on his shoulder with wide eyes, like a majestic general, in the past, every time he overeaten, he would sleep for a long time in order to digest it, this time he ate nearly a hundred Xuanwei seeds, but his spirit was still very good.
"It seems to be getting heavier and heavier......" Qin Ke felt the weight from his shoulders, and suddenly felt that Xiao Hei was slowly growing up at a speed that he couldn't see, thinking of Wang Xuanwei's words, and a wave of uneasiness came to his heart.
How long will he be able to stay by his side? He seems to have begun to miss the old days when little black curled up in his heart like a baby.
"General, everyone is ready. Tu Ergou shouted loudly: "Please fight!"
"Yes, General, take us into battle. The crowd responded, and then it turned into a cry that shook the sky, "Fight, fight!"
But Wang Xuanwei looked very calm from beginning to end, he was still wearing that black robe, and without saying a word, he looked at every Mo family cavalryman.
After everyone's voices fell silent, everyone quietly looked at Wang Xuanwei, waiting for his next order.
Suddenly, there was a loud eagle cry in the sky, accompanied by a gust of wind, Qin Ke saw a huge black eagle swooping down with a resolute gaze!
Wang Xuanwei finally had a little smile on his face, and then suddenly raised his right hand, revealing a thickened cowhide sleeve on his arm.
The black eagle spread its wings, and the crooked nails on its claws were as formidable as a sharp knife, and after a few powerful fluttering sounds, the black eagle landed steadily on Wang Xuanwei's arm, and the eagle's claws were deeply sunk into the cowhide sleeve.
This is a beautiful creature from high in the sky.
As it looked around, everyone was drawn to its bright, piercing eyes, which showed no cowardice in the face of the hordes of cavalry, but with a condescending scrutiny, as if a king were watching his subjects, and as it spread its four-foot-long wings again, a loud eagle's cry resounded through the valley.
"It's ...... Snowy goshawk. Abu exclaimed, "I have only seen some dignitaries and nobles come from the north at great expense, but I have never seen a single one with such a look." ”
Qin Ke was staring at the snowy goshawk, he had lived in the Mo family for many years, and it was not that he had never seen these huge birds, when they soared into the sky, they could fly far higher than other birds, shuttling between the clouds, but the sharp sound could make the hare on the ground frightened and immediately look up.
Many people only know the power of the black horse, but only those who have seen the black horse with their own eyes know that the reason why this cavalry army can dominate the world is not only because of their strength, but also because they have the most elite "scouts" in the world.
Mo Jiaji's school palace is all-encompassing, all-encompassing, including the thaumaturgy of taming beasts and the strange people who are good at resisting eagles and falcons.
Qin Ke heard a story told to him by his master when he was a child: when the previous dynasty had not yet perished, there was an envoy from the Western Regions who entered Jicheng to present the emperor with a giant eagle from the Western Regions Plateau.
On the school field in Jicheng, this envoy used a familiar eagle control technique to show the emperor the ferocity of this giant eagle, and then looked around and asked with some pride: The Holy Dynasty is strong and prosperous, and the territory is vast, is there such a giant eagle?
Such arrogant words naturally angered all the civil and military officials on the school grounds, and everyone loudly accused the envoy of being disrespectful, and some even knelt down and asked the emperor to reprimand the envoy to show the prestige of the pilgrimage.
However, the emperor at that time, Emperor Jirui, just smiled, waved his hand to stop everyone, and then said to the envoy of the Western Regions: I am thousands of miles towards the land, and there is not an inch of this eagle circling.
But as soon as he changed his words, he said: "I don't have this giant eagle, it's not that the land is sterile, but because there are birds that are a hundred times more ferocious than this giant eagle, and the giant eagle has nowhere to tolerate, so I have to go west to find a place to live."
The envoy didn't believe it, and then Emperor Jirui sent someone to the palace to invite an old man, this old man came empty-handed, followed by two disciples on the left and one on the right, the disciple's arm, each with a wing edge like a snowy goshawk with a silver edge, the two eagles are majestic, and the eagle claws are sharp.
It's just that compared to the giant eagle, the goshawk's body still looks a lot smaller, and it is naturally impossible for the messenger to believe that such a goshawk can defeat his giant eagle from his appearance alone.
So Emperor Ji Rui suggested releasing the giant eagle and the two goshawks and letting them fight, so it was natural to see which side was more ferocious.
The messenger naturally agreed, and in his opinion, he was sure of victory, and with his own giant eagle like an ancient bird of prey, there was a possibility that the two goshawks would be pecked to death on the spot.
