104 Dragons and Tigers
Before the catapult appeared, the city walls were a nightmare for the nomads.
Just imagine the border occupied by the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan tribes attached. Looking around, alfalfa is thousands of miles away. It is scattered in the middle of Mayi, forage farms, and cities. Apart from the grass everywhere, it can be eaten by war horses, but there is no grain of food to fill the belly.
What is the difference between this and a solid wall and clear field?
Marco is full of food, but what about the lovely people?
When you run wildly for a day, you will get nothing. When people are trapped and horses are exhausted, all the ambushers will come out in the city. Fires will be raised from all sides and you will inevitably be defeated.
Nomads come and go like the wind, and cannot be chased by them. However, agriculture and animal husbandry can be firm and clear and clear, and watch them on the wall.
All cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses are raised in the pen. They are surrounded by the city walls. The city is either Mayi or pastures. A large number of people live in nearby cities. Just spread the scouts and can stand in an invincible place. Nomadic robbery, they all ride fast horses and carry food for only a few days. How can they withstand a protracted battle? Besides, how much does alfalfa be eaten in the land?
For the Hanting, only the Southern Xiongnu and the Wuhuan in the three counties were changed to agriculture and animal husbandry, building cities and defending themselves. They lost the maneuver advantage of coming and going like the wind. They caught turtles in the jar, but they were not easy to capture.
Of course, if you take a step back, the Southern Xiongnu and the Wuhuan of the three counties will not be so stupid as to become enemies with the Hanting again.
From then on, they will only be tied to the Han Ting chariot more and more closely. Then, they will be completely Chineseized within a century.
Some people may say that if you lose your tough nomadic habits, the two elite cavalry will no longer exist. Just as the Danyang elite soldiers who were Chineseized gradually became history.
Let me ask, aren’t the Han people nowadays tough?
What is the difference between the Han people's riding skills? Especially the skillful use of stirrups and hoofs. The gap is enough to be made up for by new technologies. As for the riding expertise that belongs to the category of horseback national talent, although it cannot be surpassed. However, in the face of new technologies, these gaps are no longer able to affect the situation.
Get back to the point.
There are many benefits of car residence.
The steel-coated wheels support the carriage to the air. It can avoid the rats on the ground from getting poisonous insects. And compared to the thin tent that is usually "ignited and arrows penetrate when they are shot". The carriage full of enamel armor is hard enough and can protect the arrows from fire. Even if the enemy attacks at night, you can hold the car and guard it without losing it.
Liu Bei's central army tent was assembled from twelve enhanced "barracks and horse carriages" in the shape of a "field". It is magnificent and has a strong defense.
All the fees in the car are all at the waiting level. Don’t ask for the most expensive, but look for the best.
After the twelve "barracks carriages" carriages were opened, the only thing that needed to be done was to take out the various households stacked in the carriage one by one and place them neatly.
Why did Liu Bei take action? Mrs. Qiru and the An sisters were done quickly.
Liu Bei did not spare any flowers. He was holding a design drawing of the "sad of the agency" sent by the boat in the museum, and he was enjoying it.
Unlike ordinary high bridge saddles, this saddle is connected with four horse leg covers. It is fixed above the knee of the horse. On the same side, the front and rear legs are covered with a "hinged four-bar mechanism". When the horse is walking or running, the swing of the front and rear legs will drive the four-bar mechanism and repeat the movement. It is also driven by the horse's power to drive the mechanism crossbow installed on both sides of the saddle, and can extend flat like wings if necessary.
Even referring to the height and stride of each horse, running to varying degrees, a grooved slide rail is also installed on the leg cover, which can move the "four-bar mechanism" up and down, forming the "biased crank slider" mechanism.
Simply put, it is similar to a mechanical archer. This is a mechanical saddle that can be used to use horsepower, wind and shoot by itself.
It's really...a very powerful design.
It is said that this picture was written by Su Yue, the grandson of Su Bo.
There are talented people in the world.
Of course, this is just a prototype design drawing. The specific structure still needs to be combined with the running of the horse and make meticulous adjustments. However, the principles are all right. However, Liu Bei does not need horsepower to drive and shoot on his own. Liu Bei also needs a powerful sniper crossbow that can wind the bow and rider!
The mechanical crossbow has a poor accuracy. It is completely wave shooting. It relies on continuous shooting to form a rain of arrows and kill the enemy. Therefore, the mechanical crossbow is very suitable. But the bow and rider is not suitable. The horse's back is narrow and the horsepower is limited. Many crossbows cannot be placed. Therefore, the mechanical saddle is transformed into a concurrent crossbow winding. It is used by the crossbowmen to snipe the enemy's cavalry from a distance. That would be better.
Just imagine. After the powerful crossbow is fired, it will be hung on the saddle and automatically wound. Then take it out and use it.
How convenient and quick it is to take and use it.
The power of the crossbow is proportional to the pulling force required to open the bow. It is difficult to pull the heavy crossbow with arm strength for more than three stones. So Liu Bei switched to the "winding winch" and the "rat crossbow" to cooperate. If he could use horsepower to drive the winch and wind the strong crossbow, wouldn't it be more than ten times faster than human power?
Not to mention anything else. Just hang a curved arms and a yellow-shoulder crossbow on each saddle on both sides, and hold another one in the knight's hand. Use three crossbow wheels, and kill them with one blow, five hundred steps away.
The pictures are so beautiful.
Is there any semi-automatic sniper?
When Liu Bei put down the picture scroll, the ladies are basically done.
The square tent of the Central Military Vehicle has a high dome in the center, with an outer Mongolian cowhide, a steel wire mesh in the middle and a light gauze tent lined. It is neither depressing nor safe.
Thanks to any combination of the ‘Tian’ type car wall panels, the central military vehicle tent can be divided into different areas. The young ladies regard themselves as inner and outer rooms, which can be used to discuss military information and receive people and things.
"Brother!" The two brothers who had arranged Chitu and Baitiwu came to meet.
"Second brother, third brother, come in quickly." Liu Bei waved with a smile.
The two of them took off their boots and entered the account.
Liu Bei pointed to two gorgeously decorated lacquered wooden boxes and smiled: "Do you two brothers know what's inside?"
Guan and Zhang looked at each other and said in unison: "I don't know."
Liu Bei smiled and pointed to the painted wooden box: "Why not open it and take a look?"
"Here!" The two of them went forward. They looked at the long lacquered wooden box on all sides and tried to press the box door.
Pick.
The box door was then opened.
Zhang Fei was anxious and opened it suddenly. A black shadow rushed out. Subconsciously, he leaned back, turned around and sat on the ground with a loud bang.
Only then did I realize that the black shadow was a black light.
He leaned all over and looked up at the ground. He saw a set of light-swallowing armor in the box, with colorful tiger patterns on his chest and a short white tiger skin cloak on his back. He sat upright like a human figure, black and shiny.
Liu Bei took the sword in his hand, chopped left and right, cut up and down. The magic armor was as smooth as a mirror, without any scratches!
Before Zhang Fei could stand up, Guan Yu also opened the box door.
It is also a set of tailor-made light-swallowing armor. It is painted with green dragon patterns on the chest and a short cloak of green wolf skin dyed behind it. It sits like a human figure, showing its domineering spirit.
Even Guan Yu, whose eyes were higher than his top, could not help but shine.
This was Liu Bei's first meeting.
The white tiger's divine outfit is powerful, and the blue dragon's divine outfit is flying dragon riding on the clouds. It is matching the figures of the two.
Although I was not wearing my upper body, the two tailor-made light-swalking armors actually had the sound of wind and thunder that were roaring dragons and tigers, and the sound of thousands of men invincible.
It's really too powerful.
