Chapter 303: The idea of forming the strongest cavalry
After the ten mechanism shields were placed on the ground, Gongshu Xiaomi began to introduce other weapons: "Your Majesty, you should have seen this Mo Dao. Once used, it can separate humans and horses."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "No need to introduce Mo Dao. I will introduce other weapons. Da Qin's crossbow is invincible in the world. Tell me, how does this repeating crossbow compare with Da Qin's crossbow?"
Gongshu Xiaomi was immediately embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Huh?" Ying Zheng's face darkened, "Why don't you answer what I said?"
Li Si on the side said: "His Majesty asked you to answer, you just need to answer truthfully."
"No." Gongshu Xiaomi responded, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the repeating crossbow is more powerful than the crossbow of Da Qin. Not only is the repeating crossbow smaller than the crossbow of Da Qin, but its range is further.
The most important thing is that the repeating crossbow can fire ten rounds at a time, and it is very convenient to install arrows. "
When Ying Zheng and others were confused, they saw Gongshu Xiaomi pick up the crossbow and pull the trigger from a distance of fifteen meters.
Boo hoo hoo…
Then he kept pulling the trigger, and ten crossbow arrows shot out, all hitting the bullseye.
"Okay." Ying Zheng shouted excitedly.
Although the distance was only fifteen meters, all ten crossbow arrows hit the bull's-eye, indicating that the repeating crossbow's accuracy was very good.
"Your Majesty, sir, this repeating crossbow is best used in short-range warfare. After training, with the repeating crossbow in your hand, you can shoot enemies from all directions.
And as long as you bring enough arrows to fire a thousand crossbow arrows continuously, the bowstring of this crossbow will not be able to withstand breaking.
In other words, one hundred special forces can deal with an army of one hundred thousand without defeat. "Gongshu Xiaomi said.
"A thousand crossbow arrows." Ying Zheng said in surprise, "How can a person wear so many crossbow arrows on his body?"
Li Si said: "Your Majesty is right, how can you fight with a thousand crossbow arrows on your body?
In addition, you said that installing arrows is easy. How can you make it simple? "
"Your Majesty, gentlemen, please wait a moment." Gong Shuyang bowed slightly and said, "Come here, bring the crossbow box."
Immediately, a staff member came out carrying a box. He put the box down and left respectfully.
After Gongshu Xiaomi opened the box, Ying Zheng and others saw another small box in the box. They saw Gongshu Xiaomi take down a box from the tail of the Liannu, and then took the box out of the box and installed it.
"Your Majesty, the crossbow arrows have been installed. Please check it yourself." Gongshu Xiaomi respectfully handed the crossbow to Ying Zheng.
After Ying Zheng took the Lian Nu, he asked: "How to operate this?"
"Your Majesty, look at this pole, it is used to control the bow string. Every time you shoot a crossbow arrow, you just pull it back and press this button.
The faster you pull the string, the faster you shoot the arrow. "Gongshu Xiaomi explained.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "This operation is very simple."
Later, Ying Zheng used the crossbow according to the method of public transportation of millet.
Pull the trigger, pull the string, pull the trigger, pull the string... Repeat ten times in a row, and the ten crossbow arrows will hit the target accurately.
"Haha..." Ying Zheng laughed excitedly, "Okay, it's really great. If the soldiers of Great Qin have a repeating crossbow, the Qin army will be unbeatable."
"Your Majesty," Meng Yi said, "This repeating crossbow is very powerful against infantry, but it is still not enough against cavalry.
To deal with the cavalry, you still have to use Mo Dao soldiers. "
"If the Mo Dao soldiers can really deal with the cavalry, then Meng Tian will be better off. By the way, is there any news coming from the border?" Ying Zheng said.
"Reporting to Your Majesty," Feng Quji said, "General Meng Tian has established a new puppet in the Xiongnu. With a series of policies, more than 100,000 Xiongnu people have now taken refuge in the puppet khan.
However, General Meng Tian was still worried that there were too many Huns to deter them. "
"Can't Meng Tian scare the Huns?" Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
Meng Yi said: "Reporting to your majesty, it is because of my brother's presence that we can scare the Huns and prevent them from having other ideas.
But the elder brother always wanted to return to Chang'an to serve His Majesty and learn from his husband at the same time. "
Ying Zheng smiled and said: "Learning from Qin An is what he really wants to do."
"Brother, I don't dare. Please tell me, Your Majesty." Meng Yi said immediately.
Feng Quji said: "Your Majesty, if the Xiongnu are only afraid of Meng Tian, I am afraid that your strategy will not work. It may even create hidden dangers for the Qin border.
Once Meng Tian is not at the border, it may lead to Huns riots and cause irreparable losses to the border. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "This is indeed a big problem. Back then, Li Mu was able to defeat the Huns with cavalry.
Qin An said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to defeat the Xiongnu because he had a cavalry force. Today, the Qin Dynasty's infantry is invincible, but there are not many cavalrymen. The reason is that every time a cavalryman is trained, several warhorses will be lost.
Da Qin did not have as many cavalry as the Xiongnu. Although it could fight the enemy, Da Qin's horses were not as fast as the Xiongnu's horses, so in the end they only drove away the Xiongnu, but could not completely eradicate them.
Now I urgently need a way to target the Huns cavalry so that they can be completely eradicated or driven away. "
"Your Majesty," Li Si said, "what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could do, your Majesty can also do it.
The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to have a cavalry was because he sent envoys to the Western Regions and obtained thousands of miles of horses from the Kingdom of Dayuan.
We can also follow suit and send envoys to the Western Regions to let them know about the existence of Qin and at the same time let them know about the terror of the Xiongnu.
As long as we get the thousand-mile horse and let the thousand-mile horse mate with Da Qin's war horses to produce offspring, within a few years, Da Qin will have a powerful cavalry that can crush the Xiongnu. "
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "I have thought about this matter, but it is very difficult. No one knows how many miles it takes from Xianyang City to Dawan Country.
Even if I have a map of the world, it is useless unless someone can map it. "
"Your Majesty, I can ask the cabinet to issue an order to summon talented people from all over the world. Maybe there are people who understand the terrain of the Western Regions." Feng Quji said.
Li Si then said: "Your Majesty, we can ask Mr. Hu Hai to make some glazed horses as gifts and travel westward to the Western Regions to find thousands of miles of horses."
"Okay, let's do it according to your method. Once we learn about the Dawan Kingdom, I will ask for all their war horses. If they don't give them, my cavalry will crush their Dawan Kingdom."
"Your Majesty is wise," everyone said.
Later, Ying Zheng asked Gong Shujie to show other weapons and armors one by one. When he saw the Tang Dao, he couldn't put it down.
It is lighter than all their swords, but it is sharper and cuts down with one blow. A tree was chopped down directly.
So Ying Zheng took away a lot of weapons and went to the military camp.
Some people died, but not completely...
