Chapter 354 Chariot Crossbow

The Privy Council ordered 30 soldiers to be stationed in Yanran Road.Send Liang Qiuhao to serve as governor temporarily.

Considering that the target of the next battle is the Huns, the Huns are more pure nomads than Rouran, and the grassland area is also larger, so the clumsy heavy infantry is almost useless.Therefore, Yan Hao made a decision to keep Dianwei's 10 Huben Army and the 5 ordinary imperial infantry brought this time in Yanran Road as a temporary strengthening defense force before the end of the war against the Huns.

In this way, with an army of 45, coupled with the garrison of two generals, Liang Qiuhao and Dianwei, the safety and stability of the Yanran Road area can be guaranteed.After Yan Hao pacified the Xiongnu, he re-divided military forces and defense areas.

In the end, all the people in Rouran are soldiers, and everyone is a horseman. Its population is smaller than that of the Western Regions, but it can provide an army with a combat effectiveness far stronger than that of the Western Regions, which shows its military potential.Because this strategic resource cannot be ignored.Yan Hao also ordered the recruitment of [-] elite knights in the whole territory of Rouran, who will join the army to fight against the Xiongnu in the future.

Although Rouran has just been annexed by the Great Wei, the reliability of its soldiers is compromised.But firstly, the [-] Rouran cavalry went out with the main force, and their numbers were suppressed by the main force.Secondly, the Rouran people and the Huns are equally deadly enemies, and they will not be ambiguous when fighting the Huns.Thirdly, Yan Haochu promised a lot of money when recruiting Rouran knights. Under the temptation of benefits, people's combat potential will be infinitely magnified.

With these [-] Rouran cavalry, Yan Hao has a little more confidence in the future battle with the Huns.

……

The craftsman Lu Ming rushed to Gaoque County after receiving the order from the imperial court. There was a busy construction scene here.In just one month, the craftsmen and laborers transferred from the Central Plains have established the prototype of the city here, and even built a small but exquisite palace for Yan Hao.A city on the prairie is slowly rising.

Lu Ming met Emperor Yan Hao.

"Cao Min kowtows to the emperor!" Lu Ming kowtowed respectfully.

"Excuse me, you don't need to call yourself a grassroots in the future." Yan Hao said.

Lu Ming said: "Your Majesty, a villain has no official position, so he can only call himself a grassroots."

Yan Hao said: "As long as you do one thing well for me, I will give you a fourth-rank military supervisor!"

Lu Ming's eyes widened. That was a fourth-rank official. To him who is a white board, becoming a fourth-rank official is like a carp crossing the dragon's gate!

Yan Hao continued: "Lu Ming, can you develop a special crossbow for me, which is specially used to deal with cavalry, so that our long-range troops can become the nemesis of the Huns cavalry?"

Lu Ming pondered for a while, and said with a distressed expression: "Your Majesty, the villain has a lot of ideas to increase the lethality and firing rate of crossbows, but in any case, infantry archers are weak, and it is difficult to deal with cavalry head-on."

Yan Hao remembered that during the Han Dynasty, the famous general Wei Qing used the WISCO cart and the rhubarb crossbow to deal with the Xiongnu cavalry, and it had a good effect.

Chariots are huge in size and have strong defense capabilities. The chariots formed on the battlefield are very difficult to deal with.The combination of chariots and archers was the magic weapon for the Chinese people in the Han Dynasty to deal with the Xiongnu.However, the disadvantage of chariots is that they are not flexible enough, and the cost of construction and maintenance is very expensive, so they were gradually eliminated after the Tang Dynasty.

But now that the national power of the Great Wei is strong, properly developing the chariot as an arm may have a miraculous effect in the battle of the Pingyuan Army.

So Yan Hao roughly described the concept of the chariot to Lu Ming, but Lu Ming was very excited after hearing it.

"Your Majesty is truly a genius. The villain's mind is like a fountain of thoughts. According to His Majesty's instructions, the villain will definitely be able to transform a very powerful bow and arrow and what you call a 'Wugang car'!"

Yan Hao patted him on the shoulder: "You can do it with confidence and boldness. If you do it well, I will reward you a lot!"

After Lu Ming took the order to leave, Hebshi walked in wearing a high-waisted and low-cut aqua blue skirt, holding a pot of tea in his hand.

"Your Majesty, you are tired from negotiating important matters, let's have a sip of tea." Herbs said softly, with a pleasant voice.While talking, while Yan Hao was drinking tea, he gently pressed and kneaded Yan Hao's shoulders.

Heb's green fingers tap lightly, but the strength and position of the pressing are incomparably sublime, which makes Yan Hao very comfortable.He even doubted repeatedly whether Hebshi is the princess of this Rouran barbarian. Even among the beautiful concubines in his palace, none of them know how to serve men like Hebshi, they are simply flattering from head to toe stunner!

Chapter 355 Wusun Flying Rider

Wusun Wang Bohan rushed to Gaoque County with [-] Wusun flying horses.

"Your Majesty, don't forget the promise you made to us Wusun people!" Wusun King said with a bull's eye.

"Promise, what promise?" Yan Hao said suspiciously.

"When Master Banchao was in the Western Regions, it was us Wusun who sent troops to help him overcome the difficulties. One of the conditions for our sending troops was to ask the Great Wei to help us conquer the Huns, and I would personally behead the Huns!"

When King Wusun mentioned this, Yan Hao suddenly remembered, and he asked: "I wonder how many troops King Wusun brought this time?"

King Wusun said proudly: "I know that your majesty needs to fight immediately to conquer the Xiongnu, and the Great Wei lacks established cavalry archers, so we specially formed 10 Wusun flying cavalry to help your majesty!"

"That's really great!" Yan Hao beamed with joy.Although Rouran's mercenaries are good, they are not their own people after all, and the Xiongnu and Wusun have a feud. Wusun's flying cavalry must fight bravely to face the Huns.

Yan Hao asked: "I have only heard about the enmity between Wusun and the Xiongnu, but I don't know that you can personally kill the enemy with blood."

King Wusun gritted his teeth and said: "At the beginning, my Wusun tribe was originally a branch of the Donghu tribe, and it was very powerful. At that time, in order to win over Wusun, the King of the Huns pretended to be friendly with us, but set up an ambush attack at a banquet. My father, caused my father's death."

"After the death of my father, the clansmen had no leader. We were beaten to the ground by the Huns, and finally we were driven out of the grassland. We fled all the way to the west, and finally found a land in the Western Regions to take root. Your Majesty, tell me, can I not hug you?" Is this blood feud?"

Yan Hao said: "The revenge of killing one's father is irreconcilable! Don't worry, when Uwei Shanyu is captured, I will let you cut off his head with your own hands!"

King Wusun knelt down and said: "As long as Your Majesty can fulfill my wish, Wusun will sincerely join Wei from then on. Wherever Your Majesty's horseshoes go to war, Wusun's archers will be your most steadfast followers!"

After hearing what King Wusun said, Yan Hao's heart moved.The Wusun King's promise is extremely important, although the cooperation agreement reached before has stated that after the Huns are wiped out, the Wusun Kingdom will get an area for self-government.But the self-governing Wusun people may not be willing to sacrifice their lives for Wei.

But if he can get King Wusun to follow, Wusun people will become the best bows and arrows in his hands in the future. After all, these natural marksmen are too powerful!

Thinking of this, Yan Hao said: "Bohan, what do you think of me as a person?"

King Wusun said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the True Dragon, with a majestic and majestic appearance, I am impressed."

Yan Hao said: "In my opinion, Bohan, you are calm and wise, and you are a person who can be trusted. Why don't we two become brothers of the opposite sex? From then on, the Wusun people and the Huaxia people will also be brothers and nations, and they will never leave each other forever. !"

King Wusun said emotionally: "Your Majesty, Wusun is only a small country with a population of 50. How dare I call Your Majesty a brother!"

"This statement is wrong. Don't ask the source of the hero. You are someone I like. You have the noble blood of the Donghu royal family in your body. You can be my brother with a different surname!" Yan Hao patted King Wusun on the shoulder.

King Wusun showed gratitude in his eyes: "Brother!"

"Brother!"

So the two changed their clothes and burned incense, kowtowed in front of the god statue, swore blood stained, and never departed from it!

Chapter 356 Big Yellow Crossbow

Accepting Wusun Wang Bohan, a brother with a different surname, is tantamount to tying the Wusun people to the chariot of the Great Wei Empire. This is a surprise.

Soon, another news came that surprised Yan Hao. Lu Ming developed a special crossbow specially designed to deal with cavalry.

In the shooting range, Lu Ming explained and introduced Yan Hao with the newly invented crossbow.

"Your Majesty, this mechanism is called 'Wangshan', which is specially used for aiming. It can greatly improve the shooting accuracy of the crossbow, and because it shortens the aiming time, it also increases the rate of fire." Lu Ming pointed to the hook on the crossbow. A small round hole said to Yan Hao.

"The string of this crossbow has been improved. It has a much longer range than ordinary crossbows. It is also more durable and can withstand continuous shooting for a long time." Lu Ming pulled the string, and Yan Hao could clearly feel the sound coming from the string. amazing strength.

"In addition, the villain has also improved the arrows used in this crossbow. Please take a look, Your Majesty." Lu Ming took out a steel arrow and placed it in front of Yan Hao.

Yan Hao saw that the arrow was shaped like a cross blade, which was more slender than ordinary tapered arrows.

Lu Ming said: "This arrow is called 'Armor Breaking Arrow'. It is specially used to penetrate the enemy's armor. It can have a miraculous effect on the armored Hun cavalry. There is also an arrow with three pointed arrows called The 'Blood of Rage Arrow' is characterized by the fact that it can cause the wound to bleed profusely after being shot into the human body. These two arrows are used alternately, and they will cause huge damage to the cavalry!"

Yan Hao clicked his tongue in amazement: "Lu Ming, you are really a magician!"

Lu Ming received Yan Hao's praise, and said with great encouragement: "It's not over yet, Your Majesty, please read this!"
