Spartacus's understanding of the East all came from Xuanzang's oral accounts, but he only communicated with Xuanzang for three days, so how much could he learn from it?
Therefore, when he finally arrived in the East, everything he saw was extremely shocking to him.
Take the Qiang people for example.
He originally thought that the Qiang tribe was just a small tribe, but this small tribe had a very glorious past. It had even defeated the Han Empire many times, and was able to form an army of 100,000 people after experiencing the annihilation of the country.
He once thought that even the 20 coalition forces could not defeat the 80,000 to 90,000 Qin army, even if the Qiang army was definitely a mob.
But after seeing the Qiang army, he couldn't help but be amazed by the neat military appearance and sophisticated weapons and equipment of the Qiang army. After all, Rome was still in the Iron Age, and only a few generals knew how to use steel weapons. arms.
According to normal development, Europe entered the Iron Age in 1000 BC. It was not until the 14th century, after 2,400 years of exploration, that steelmaking technology emerged.
The small amount of steel weapons that appeared in Rome were naturally sold from the East. They were extremely expensive, and there was no market for them. After all, things were rare and expensive, so they would be snapped up as soon as they appeared.
Spartacus originally thought that steel weapons were rare in the East, but he did not expect that the Qiang tribe, which had been exterminated, could all use steel weapons.
In addition to weapons, the number of armors, bows and other weapons in the army is also much greater than in the West.
Taking armor alone as an example, the armor ratio of the Qiang army was much higher than that of Rome.
Except for the elite, the ordinary Roman army was basically not equipped with armor. Even the elite were mostly equipped with leather armor, and the proportion of iron armor was no more than 10% at most.
As for his rebel army, the armor-to-armor ratio was even pitifully low. Even at its peak, when it numbered 200,000 troops, the total number of armors totaled less than 2,000 pairs.
But what about the Qiang army in front of us? However, the leather armor ratio of the 10,000-strong army reached 20%, which was more armor than his 200,000-strong army, let alone iron armor.
"I buy Ga."
Spartacus couldn't help but sigh. He now understood why Marco Polo used the term "Golden Country" to describe the East. The East was indeed too rich.
How much money does it cost to build so many weapons and equipment and so many armors?
The Qiang people alone are already so rich, so how rich should the overlord of the Qin Empire be? Spartacus couldn't imagine it.
What Spartacus didn't know was that the Qiang people were not actually that rich, and most of the reason they had so many weapons and equipment was due to the sponsorship of the Sui State.
"Mr. Si, these are the weapons, armor, and mounts prepared by my mother for you."
Yelu Zhiwu, who was dressed in military uniform, said that among Shuluping's children, she was second only to Yelu Deguang in strength, so Shuluping asked her to keep an eye on Spartacus.
It's not that Shuluping is afraid that Spartacus will violate the agreement, but that he wants his daughter to seduce him. If he can't do it himself, he will create opportunities for others to do it. If it succeeds, he can completely conquer this fierce general. .
But unfortunately, Spartacus is not lustful, and besides, he still cares about Mira in his heart. No matter how beautiful Yelvzhiwu is, he will not be tempted by Yeluzhiwu, so Shuluping's wishful thinking is doomed. It's going to come to nothing.
After contacting him, Yelvzhiwu also saw that Spartacus was not a lecherous person, so he did not take any sexual action at all.
"Well, my last name is not Si, my name is Spartacus."
After Spartacus replied, his eyes fell on the weapons and equipment in front of him, and his face suddenly showed a look of indescribable joy.
The weapons Shuluping specially prepared for him were obviously much better than those of ordinary soldiers, especially the big sword, which was better than all the weapons he had before.
The weapon Spartacus used before was also a steel knife, which he captured after killing Grebo. He won one battle after another with him, but was killed by Heracles in the final battle. It was shattered, and the steel-making knife in front of me was obviously stronger than the one before.
If he had held this sword in the last battle, even if he would lose, he probably wouldn't lose so miserably. Spartacus thought to himself.
Looking at Spartacus who couldn't put it down for the new weapons and equipment, Yelu Zhiwu said lightly: "Hurry up and get familiar with these weapons and equipment. After arriving at Buffalo Mountain, there is still a test waiting for you, Mr. Sba. .”
"Well, my surname is not Siba. By the way, what is the test you are talking about?"
"You don't really think that if your mother regards you as a trump card, you can really become the trump card of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. If you don't show your true skills and convince the coalition forces, how can they dare to let you fight?"
Hearing what Yelu Zhiwu said, Spartacus also felt that it made sense. After all, Shuluping was just a woman. It was okay to let her come up with ideas, but she could not be the leader of the coalition, so he asked: "Excuse me, Sun Wukong is in the east." What level of strong man is he?"
"Who is Sun Wukong?"
Hearing what Yelu Zhiwu said, Spartacus looked surprised.
"You don't know Sun Wukong? That's not right. The master said that Wukong is one of the most famous warriors in the East. How could you not know him?"
"But I really haven't heard of it."
Speaking of Sun Lingming, Yelu Zhiwu naturally knew about it. After all, there were only a few people in the East who didn’t know his name, but not many people knew about Sun Wukong. After all, Wukong only took the name of Xuanzang before he left. There weren’t many people in the East at all. People know.
Yelu Zhiwu didn't know about Xuanzang's journey to the west, so he said, "Could it be that the master you said has deceived you?"
"How is it possible? Master Xuanzang is a Buddhist and a monk does not tell lies."
After hearing Xuanzang's name, Yelu Zhiwu instantly guessed who Spartacus was talking about. After all, Xuanzang's journey to the west and Sun Lingming's becoming a monk for love were also known to everyone in the East.
"Xuan Zang? You should be talking about Sun Lingming, of course I have heard of his name. Why do you mention him?"
"It's good to know. I fought against Wukong in Persia and fought more than fifty rounds. What level do you think I am in the East?" Spartacus asked.
"Only five...what? Fifty rounds?"
Yelu Zhiwu thought it was five rounds at first, but when he realized it was fifty rounds later, he was shocked. After all, it was not with an ordinary general, but with the Qitian Divine General Sun Lingming.
"Did you really fight Sun Lingming for fifty rounds? What about the final outcome?" Yelu Zhiwu asked quickly.
"Well, I lost, I'm no match for you at all."
Spartacus said very bachelorly, not afraid that the other party would look down on him because of this, but Yelu Zhiwu praised him greatly.
"It's normal to lose. After all, that's Sun Lingming. It's already amazing that you can last for fifty rounds."
What Yelv Zhiwu didn't know was that the reason why Spartacus could persist for fifty rounds was because Sun Lingming wanted to capture him alive instead of killing him. Otherwise, ten rounds would be enough to kill him.
Seeing that the other party admired Sun Lingming so much, Spartacus couldn't help but ask: "Is Wukong so powerful in the East?"
Hearing this, Yelu Zhiwu took out a copy of the latest list of powerful generals and handed it to Spartacus, but Spartacus couldn't understand Chinese characters at all, so he had to patiently explain the meaning of the list to him.
"Now you understand the meaning of this list."
"I understand, but Wukong's name is not on this list?"
"That's because he became a monk, so he was automatically kicked out. Before he became a monk, Sun Lingming ranked second, second only to Li Cunxiao, the best player in the world."
After that, Yelu Zhiwu also shared the deeds of Xuanzang and the other two disciples with a simple Spartacus.
"hiss......"
After Spartacus heard this, he suddenly took a breath of cold air. He knew that Master Xuanzang and his apprentice had a great background, but he did not expect that the background would be so great.
The eldest disciple is the second most powerful general in the entire East;
The second apprentice was the former king of Qi, a large country in the east;
The third apprentice was the general marshal of the fallen Zhao Kingdom;
As a master, Xuanzang was one of the leaders of Eastern Dacheng Buddhism.
Apart from love and faith, Spartacus could not think of any other reason that would bring these four people together and travel thousands of miles to Rome to find the holy medicine.
Yelu Zhiwu didn't pay attention to Spartacus's shock. Instead, he analyzed to himself: "If you can really fight Sun Lingming for fifty rounds, you should be able to squeeze into the top fifteen on the list of powerful players. , with such strength, at least no one in Kansai is your opponent now."
Spartacus asked curiously: "Didn't you say that Da Qin has many strong generals? Most of the people on the list of strong generals are from Da Qin. Why doesn't Da Qin arrange masters from the west?"
"That's because the Qin Dynasty was at war with the seven kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming, Sui, Shu, Qiang, and Tubo at the same time, and the fierce generals in Guanxi, such as Yang Jian, Yuwen Chengdu and others, were all transferred to Hanzhong to prepare for Shu. "
"hiss......"
Spartacus took a breath again. Although he didn't know much about the Central Plains countries, he already had a basic understanding of the Sui, Qiang, and Tu Three Kingdoms coalition forces.
In his opinion, the combined strength of any two of the three kingdoms of Sui, Qiang, and Tu would be considered a hegemon in Central and Western Asia, and even in Europe.
However, these three countries were the weakest among the seven countries that besieged Da Qin.
Even if the Seven Kingdoms join forces, they are still the passive side being beaten. So how strong should they be to be able to challenge the Seven Qins?
Even Rome before it was divided, I'm afraid it still can't compare. Spartacus smiled bitterly in his heart.
Seeing Spartacus's expression, Yelu Zhiwu stopped talking. She was afraid that if she continued, she would scare Spartacus back.
Although Spartacus was shocked by the power of Qin, he had no intention of backing down. After all, Mira was more important to him, and now only Shuluping could help him save Mira.
As for how he should gain a foothold in the East after offending Great Qin? At worst, he would travel to other countries with Mira hiding his identity.
When Spartak arrived at Buffalo Mountain, the decisive battle between the Qin army and the coalition forces had not yet begun. Li Jing's reinforcements had just arrived at Buffalo Mountain, so they were not in a hurry to start a battle with the coalition forces.
Seeing that Li Jing didn't take the initiative to fight, Yang Xingmi was naturally not in a hurry to start a war. After all, the 50,000 Qiang troops had just arrived, and they still needed to get used to it before they could go to the battlefield.
While Yang Xingmi was reorganizing the Qiang army, he arranged for his generals to test Spartacus' strength. He wanted to see what Shuluping's key to victory was.
In the end, it didn't matter if he didn't try, but once he tried, everyone in the coalition was shocked.
Whether it was Yang Youji, Yelu Deguang, and Lun Qinling, these three war gods fought in a wheel battle, or two of the three randomly joined forces, they were all defeated by Spartacus. Only the three of them joined forces to draw a draw.
Spartacus's base strength is obviously only 105, but because of his status as a super god general, he can defeat three war gods of the same level in a single fight without defeat. The super god general's power can be said to be fully displayed.
"Where did the queen find such a master? He is so powerful. No one in the Qin army and the coalition forces, no, in the entire Kansai region, is his opponent."
Yelu Deguang asked excitedly, his mother is not bragging. If this battle can be won, this person must be the key to victory.
"My mother bought this person from Guishang for five thousand gold." Yelv Zhiwu said calmly.
"..."
Yelu Deguang was completely stunned. The Kushan Empire was also sold to the top fifteen masters on the fierce general list? Is their emperor stupid? Is there any more?
In any case, the arrival of Spartacus gave the coalition forces, which had little confidence in the duel, a lot of confidence out of thin air. After all, if this trump card is used well, it can completely catch the Qin army off guard.
But what neither Yang Xingmi nor Yelu Deguang expected was that their opponent Li Jing would not give them such an opportunity.
Li Jing held a telescope and looked in the direction of the coalition camp. Although he didn't see anything special, he could faintly hear cheers.
"Our reinforcements have arrived. The coalition forces have suffered setbacks one after another. Even with low morale, cheers can still be heard in the camp. This must be another trump card. It seems that we must be careful in the next decisive battle, and we can't capsize in the gutter. ”
Li Jing murmured to himself that he had just reunited with his two sons, and both sons admired him extremely, but he did not want to embarrass himself in front of them.
Two days later, Li Jing and Meng Tian led 85,000 Qin troops and took the initiative to go to war with the coalition forces, while Yang Xingmi and Yelu Deguang were forced to lead 200,000 coalition troops to fight.
The battle that determined the ownership of the entire Kansai region, as well as the survival of the Sui and Qiang dynasties, officially started at Bison Mountain.
