Back to The Three Kingdoms, I am The Master

Chapter 869: Obey the arrangement

Views:

Before Wusun's soldiers and horses rushed halfway, the Han army's bows and arrows came over, and the unprepared Wusun soldiers fell down a large area on the spot. This is the first time that the Wusun people have encountered such a sharp bow and arrow. Although they are also good at riding and shooting, most of them are just ordinary herdsmen. They suddenly became timid and flinched. Some even began to back away. .

The man in charge of this army is Baibao, the wife and brother of King Wusun Xing Miyuan. This man has a violent temperament and has no ability to lead soldiers. Seeing his soldiers start to retreat, he didn't know how to think of a countermeasure, but ordered the soldiers to kill those who retreated.

This group of soldiers is also a virtue with their master. Upon receiving this order, they screamed and rushed up. They treated their fellow robes mercilessly and knocked down dozens of people in a blink of an eye. However, this trick really worked, the decline of the siege troops stopped, and the soldiers swarmed up again. It's just that the space in front of the fortress is not open, and no amount of force can be used. Wusun soldiers almost stepped forward step by step on the corpse of their companions.

Finally, the siege troops rushed to the city after paying nearly 10,000 lives. More than a dozen long ladders were erected on the wall of the fortress, and the soldiers climbed up. Suddenly, countless iron arrows were shot from the top of the city. These iron arrows were much denser than the rain of arrows just now, and the most frightening thing was that when these iron arrows almost didn't stop, the Wusun soldiers shooting down the city couldn't even lift their heads. In just a short time, all the more than 3,000 Wusun soldiers who rushed to the fortress were killed in action, and none of them even had time to touch the city.

In fact, it was not only Wusun’s siege troops who were shocked, but the Han army who defended the city was also stunned by the power of this new weapon.

This is the new Liannu shipped from Chang'an City the day before yesterday. After Ma Yun knew that Huang Yueying had invented the continuous crossbow, she immediately invited her to the research institute, and summoned Ma Jun and a skilled craftsman to improve the continuous crossbow, enlarged the capacity of the arrow box, and increased the number of iron arrows from the original three Ten branches.

Then Ma Yun made a suggestion and asked them to test whether the arrow box could be designed to be easy to disassemble and install. The research institute now almost brings together the top technical force and all kinds of craftsmen from the whole Dahan. Huang Yueying is extremely clever and Ma Jun is good at machinery. After three consecutive days of hard work, he finally developed a new type of continuous crossbow that meets Ma Yun's requirements.

There are two types of new-style crossbows, the larger one needs to be held in both hands, and the smaller one needs only one hand. Both of these double crossbows are equipped with an arrow box that can be loaded with ten iron arrows, and this kind of arrow box can be easily disassembled and installed. The difference lies in their effective range and the size of the iron arrows. The range of the large reenbow is within 100 steps, while the range of the small reenbow is only 20 steps. This is a bit similar to the difference between a rifle and a pistol for later generations, and the quiver is equivalent to a magazine for later generations.

Liannu was finally designed like this, of course, it was inseparable from Ma Yun's creativity. However, more of these have condensed the wisdom of Huang Yueying, Ma Jun, and hundreds of technicians and craftsmen in the research institute, otherwise it would not be possible to successfully develop them in such a short period of time.

The production of the Dahan Research Institute has long been standardized, and the error of each component of the crossbow is controlled within a very small range to ensure that these components can be replaced with each other, especially the arrow box must be installed on every piece of the same model. Go up with the crossbow. In this way, when the crossbowman is in use, he only needs to replace the arrow box that has been filled with iron bolts in advance.

The strong production capacity of the research institute played a huge role at this time. Xiang Lang gathered all the artisans and produced 3,000 Dalian crossbows and 100 small continuous crossbows in just seven days. Each Dalian crossbow was equipped with a quiver. Ten, the small Lianbow is equipped with two arrow boxes. The Xiaolian crossbow is a personal defense weapon and basically does not play any role in this large-scale battle. Therefore, it was not transported to the front line, but only 3,000 Dalian crossbows were transferred to the fortress of Uzbeli.

The soldiers of the fortress received this new long-range attack weapon the day before yesterday. After two days of familiarization, they have not yet fully grasped its performance, but they have already achieved such brilliant results. When the second wave of Wusun people's attack began, the Han army guarding the city even gave up the traditional bows and arrows. It was not until the Wusun army came to the fortress that they splashed iron arrows with their continuous crossbows.

In less than an hour, Baibao commanded Wusun's army to attack three times in succession, and three times after arriving at the base of Uzbeli Fortress, they encountered head-on blows from the Han Army's Liannu. A total of nine thousand Wusun soldiers were killed under the fortress, and none of them survived. Baibao finally couldn't bear such a loss and ordered to retreat.

At this time, at the Kangju border, more than 30,000 old troops led by the brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan had gone east, and more than a dozen caravans had also retreated to the roadside to camp in chaos. Shopkeeper Cui also followed Gao Lan's method to form a circle of food carts, which served as a wall. While helping with work, Liu Yu was thinking about how to place the two little girls, Tagina and Laura, when suddenly he saw a group of cavalry rushing towards Kangju's border.

The cavalry from Kangju’s home country rushed to the caravan and said loudly: "Listen, everyone is not allowed to stay here and enter the customs immediately! Master Jia said, the war ahead is tight, continue to stay and leave. Take responsibility for everything!"

They were just notified that they were not allowed to enter the customs for the time being, and now they were allowed to pass quickly. The merchants were busy, unconsciously complaining. But I heard that the war ahead is tight. Who is not worried about their own safety or complaining, they called their respective buddies to quickly reload the unloaded goods and go into the city!

Shopkeeper Cui also got busy, only to hear Liu Xin's "Ouch", and then he covered his stomach. Gao Lan laughed and said, "Why, pretending to be sick again?"

Liu Yu ignored Gao Lan's ridicule, and climbed onto the food truck with a rather strenuous appearance. This time Bian Zhang did not come to help Liu Yu because he wanted to look at Tagina and Laura. Liu Yu was indeed ill. It was just a heart disease. He felt a little guilty when he thought that the two blonde women at the border of Kangju had come to grab him. As for the two little girls on the food truck, Liu Yu was not very concerned. Even if they were found out by shopkeeper Cui and Gao Lan, it was nothing. After all, it had nothing to do with him, and shopkeeper Cui and the others would not harm them. Little girl.

After the noise, the caravan set off one after another. Unexpectedly, the Kangju border gate was extremely slack. They were all released without careful inspection, and they did not see the two "golden birds" in the mouth of the sergeant at the barracks.

It turned out that the communication system of the Han army was extremely advanced, and the news that was just received from the city of Beitian was not long before Liu Xin, who was far away in Syria. Liu Xin finally understood that Caracalla was in the next big chess game, and he wanted to unite Guishuang, Wusun, and the already eliminated Dawan, and even his mortal enemy Parthia, to fight against himself.

Since ancient times, soldiers came to block and water came to cover. No matter what tricks Caracalla played, Liu Xin was not afraid. He knows that this battle is very important, as long as he wins, he will establish the status of the world hegemon of the Han Dynasty, and the citizens of the Han Dynasty will also enjoy the benefits of this victory. But if this battle is defeated, not only will he be unpredictable, but even the Han Dynasty, which has just emerged from the war, will be in dire straits.

At such a critical juncture, Liu Xin could only focus on national affairs, and sent a secret order to Ban Thiouer, asking her to put aside the matter of finding Liu Yu first, and make every effort to deal with the crisis and ensure that Guishuang and Wu were not allowed to go. Wusun's army invaded the territory of Kangju to ensure the safety of the back road of the Dahan Expeditionary Army.

Although Ban Thiouer is the queen mother of Kang Ju, who is in charge of Kang Ju Guo's power, it is Liu Xin who knows that her men have no useful talents, especially the lack of commanders. Sisters Kleia have a martial arts, Liu Xin not only liberated them, but also helped them get revenge. There is no doubt about their loyalty. At this time, they are needed as the right-hand man of Ban Thiauer, and Liu Xin naturally will not let their energy continue to be involved in the search for Liu Yu and Bian Zhang. After all, looking for the brothers Liu Yu is just a family matter, and family matters can never be greater than national matters.

Liu Xin also issued another order for Zhu Rong to temporarily command the various Han forces in Kangju and assist Ban Thiouer to guard the border of Kangju. Zhu Rong readily accepted this order, and she was finally able to live the addiction of a commander-in-chief. In the face of a common crisis, Zhu Rong and Ban Tuer must be in the same boat. The relationship between the two has also changed from relaxation to intimacy, which inadvertently solved Liu Xin's big problem.

Of course Liu Yu didn’t know the situation here. He found through the cracks in the food parcels that the inspection at the gate of the city was not strict. He could not help but heaved a sigh of relief and said to Tagina: “Well, the rich lady, you Followed our team into the border, where do you think of the next step?"

Tajina turned her head and winked at Laura. She held her own identity and disdain to talk to these two humble caravan boys.

Laura had to say tremblingly: "We are going back to Parthia."

Liu Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Well, you should stay in the car without making any noise. I will find a way to send you to the concession first."

In fact, Liu Yu had made up his mind that when he arrived in the concession, he must try to send the two little girls to his father's hands. Dahan and Daqin are in a decisive battle, and Parthia is caught in the middle. If Aldaban's favorite daughter can be used as a bargaining chip, it may have an unexpected effect on the entire battle. And in name, this noble blonde girl is Caracalla's fiancee.

In fact, Tajina didn't like to go with Liu Yu and the others, because Liu Yu was originally her hostage, but now she became Liu Yu's hostage, so she was extremely upset. However, the two of them are now penniless, and it is impossible to reach Parthia without following the caravan. Although a hundred were unwilling, she could only obey Liu Yu's arrangement.
