Chapter 320 Great Invention
"When I leave this dark room, I will immediately take a few guards and try it out. One is wearing Huns' equipment and weapons, and the other is wearing newly forged armored weapons to see how effective these weapons are!"
Although Zhang Kai was very wise and Ying Gao believed that Zhang Kai must have done an experiment before, so he dared to take Ying Gao to see him, but it was not a joke to really equip the guys who were in the army of tens of thousands. Without ten or twenty tests, Ying Gao would definitely not dare to let Zhang Kai mass production.
Regarding the treasures in his room, Zhang Kai was quite a good match. When Ying Gao mentioned this, Zhang Kai directly picked up two other weapons and an armor from the wall and handed them to the Zhu family. Obviously, this set of equipment was the trump card he prepared for the Huns according to Ying Gao's arrangement.
What surprised Ying Gao was that there was actually a Qin crossbow among them. The size of this Qin crossbow is between the normal Qin crossbow of Qin and the pocket Qin crossbow that Ying Gao transformed. Ying Gao seemed to be convenient to carry it on the horse, but the lethality was retained to the greatest extent. Otherwise, it would be a big challenge to use the bulky Qin crossbow on the cavalry.
Seeing Ying Gaoduo glanced at the Qin crossbow several times, Zhang Kai couldn't help but smile and said, "This time, the Qin crossbow that I, the Qin crossbow of the Great Qin was successfully transformed by the Lord. After seeing the Qin crossbow that the Lord personally practiced, he had the idea and made changes to the Qin crossbow used by the infantry. At that time, it could be used on cavalry and the range was not inferior to the bows and arrows of the Huns. It was easy to operate and did not take any arm strength. I thought I could suppress the archers of the Huns."
Obviously, Zhang Kai has considerable considerations about the transformation of weapons, and he can learn from it. Ying Gao's previous work was just a whim, and he did not consider any application when the two armies were fighting. Now Zhang Kai seems to have carried forward Ying Gao's invention.
Looking at this set of equipment, Ying Gao was still very satisfied. If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Of course, Ying Gao understood this truth. Since there will be a big battle between his Great Qin and the Huns sooner or later, Ying Gao naturally would not just think about increasing his Great Qin's military strength and then using the blood of the soldiers to fight against the Huns. That is just the lowest-level approach.
What he had to do was that when the war really came, all the soldiers under his command could do one to ten, and in terms of equipment, the Huns' army would feel deeply desperate.
After throwing all the equipment to the Zhu family, Ying Gao looked left and right in the open dark room. Although there were good things that were not young and old on the wall, Ying Gao's eyes did not stay on the objects for too long, but continued to search up and down, left and right, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. The object you have repeatedly told me before has been made, and I found that this object is really extraordinary, so I dared to place it on the surface like this. Please wait for a moment."
After saying that, he opened his hand a few steps to the corner of the dark room, took out a small box from a shadow under the table, and came to Ying Gao.
Before opening the box, I opened it and even looked at the Zhu family staring at the box intently, and gave Ying Gao a warning look. The Zhu family was ridiculous and ridiculous. I thought to myself, when I was arrested, I was in the front of my brother, but now it seems that I am an outsider.
"It's okay, just open it, but you must not mention this to outsiders!"
Ying Gao instructed the Zhu family, and then winked at Zhang Kai. This time, Zhang Kai finally opened the box at once.
What could make the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty value so much is definitely a shocking and shaking magical object in the eyes of the Zhu family. However, when the forehead box in the Zhu family opened, he looked inside and frowned, thinking that this opening was not a fool to Ying Gao?
There were indeed objects in the box, but the Zhu family could not see anything when they looked left and right. They saw two simple iron objects lying quietly in the box that was opened.
They were two flat-bottomed circular ironware, with a section of belts tied on them and placed side by side in the box.
The Zhu family didn't see that, and then quickly looked up at Ying Gao, but found that after Ying Gao saw these two objects, he seemed to have changed his face, and he was so smiling from ear to ear.
The Zhu family, who did not believe in evil, almost circled the box for two or three times, but still couldn't tell the upper, lower, left and right of the thing. They were so anxious that they couldn't help asking: "What is this thing? What can these mere two iron blocks do?"
As a technical job, Zhang Kai was certainly a little despised by Xiaobai, who knew how to fight and kill, so he raised his head and replied, "This is a secret handed over to me by the Lord. According to the Lord, it is called stirrup!"
Stirrup!?
When Zhang Kai said the name of the object, a trace of light finally flashed out of the Zhu family's head. It seemed that they had caught something, but they seemed to understand it. The feeling was quite uncomfortable on the other end.
"Let me ask you, which army is the most difficult to train in all the troops in Daqin?"
When the Zhu family heard Ying Gao's question, of course they did not dare to neglect and blurted out: "That is naturally a cavalry. It is difficult to ride. Not only does it require a good war horse, but the physical requirements for the cavalry are also very strict. I am afraid that even ten ordinary soldiers in the Qin Dynasty cannot choose a qualified cavalry."
Speaking of this, the Zhu family also sighed. He naturally knew that Ying Gao's main energy was on how to deal with the Huns in the north during this period. Moreover, an official in Xianyang City knew that the Huns were known to have 200,000 cavalry, and the Qin Dynasty, the cavalry that could take could be 50,000, and almost all the remaining infantry were all. If it were in this situation, it would be a fantasy to completely eliminate more than 200,000 cavalry of the Huns.
"If I tell you that with such objects, any qualified infantry can be trained to become a good cavalry, what do you think?"
"this……"
After hearing Ying Gao's words, the Zhu family did not react for a moment, because what Ying Gao said was something that should not have happened in the Zhu family's cognition. Just two small things can smooth out the threshold for cavalry training? Even if this was said from Ying Gao's mouth, the Zhu family would not believe it.
"Today, everything is all there, and you'll go to the racecourse in Xianyang Palace. Don't tell others about this time, experiment with the miraculous effects of these stirrups, and talk about other things!"
Although stirrups are very simple, Ying Gao knew that the problem was just his simplicity. Although this era is still a long time before stirrups are made, it is not far away. Moreover, people in this era are not stupid. If they leak out the background of the stirrups too early, especially if they are found out by the Huns, it goes without saying that they have made wedding dresses for others again.
So even though Ying Gao had wanted to make the stirrups, he kept holding on and didn't tell anyone about his thoughts until he got the news that Liu Bang had been caught by Han Xin and that the Huns were really making a fuss. Ying Gao thought it was time to make this killer move.
Although the method of making stirrups is really simple, it would be a bit too late if you really wait until you fight with the Huns to remember to make them.
So, just as he was waiting for Han Xin to come back, Ying Gao found Zhang Kai with a drawing and his own Shanshan words. Regarding Zhang Kai, Ying Gao decided not to doubt people, and the stirrups in his memory only had a shape. The craftsmanship and other things must be handed over to the very professional Zhang Kai to be himself.
As a result, Zhang Kai can indeed live up to expectations. The things he made are really different from the stirrups in Ying Gao's impression, so Ying Gao couldn't wait to try whether this thing can play the role he said. The two ready-made people are naturally Zhu Jiahe Zhang Kai who can ride horses more or less.
When Ying Gao was excitedly taking Zhang Kai and Zhu family to his Xianyang Palace, where there were some horses in the Central Plains to prepare for some training, outside the northern Great Wall, which was quite far away from Ying Gao, the battle between the two major tribes on the grassland started to be done with real swords and guns.
As Meng Tian learned before, the Xiongnu and Donghu fought this time, and it has been a long time since then. Moreover, the causes and reasons not only shocked the Donghu King, who was proud of the previous success, but also some of the leaders under Maodun Shanyu did not react for a while.
The cause of this incident was more than a year ago. Xiang Yu and his soldiers accepted the Donghu woman when they arrived here for the first time.
The tribes on the grassland are all about blood. Xiang Yu and his people took over the places that no one had occupied before. The Donghu people did not feel much except that they didn't like them.
But the soldiers led by Xiang Yu played with the woman who was captured by Donghu under the noses of the Donghu people, which was not something that the Donghu people could tolerate.
So since the beginning of spring last year, some Donghu tribes near Xiang Yu began to have friction with the soldiers led by Xiang Yu. However, because they were small troops at the beginning, the scale of the battle was not very large, so they did not attract the attention of Maodun and the King of Donghu.
But later, the Donghu people gradually discovered that this team of people from the Central Plains, with less than 10,000 people, was very powerful. Over the past year, many tribes had fought with Xiang Yu and the others, but almost no exception was all defeated.
This incident reached the ears of the Donghu King, and this guy was a little unhappy. He thought that the Maodun Shanyu of the Huns had been asked by me before, and the BMW and the woman came, but you were embarrassed by me, that would definitely not work.
So, the Donghu envoy who had been on missions to the Huns twice before came to Maodun's territory again in a season when grass was growing and warblers were flying.
Although Maodun's generals almost hated this person to the core, they thought that the time they came here had already made the Huns lose face in front of Donghu. Needless to say, this time, there must be nothing good.
But Maodun still invited him into his tent like before, and asked politely: "I wonder what kind of request did the envoy come to bring to King Donghu?"
When the Donghu envoy saw it, he thought that Maodun was indeed the same as before, and was a figure like the two times before. So he still stood in front of Maodun and said arrogantly: "I, the King of Donghu, saw that the open space between the Xiongnu and the Donghu for a long time, have been unclaimed. Here, I sent someone to ask Maodun Shanyu, and how about the open space to me from now on?"
As soon as the envoy mentioned the open space, the Huns knew that it must be Xiang Yu who fought with the Donghu every now and then, which made the others unhappy. Then he sent an envoy to ask for the open space. So he blamed Xiang Yu one after another.
But Maodun did not show any surprise expression. Like the two times before, he still looked at his generals and asked slowly: "You all think that King Donghu should agree to the request?"
If you want to talk about this time, the results Maodun got were a little different from the previous two times. When his generals heard it, they all said that this was just a piece of bad land between the two tribes. If they gave it to him, it would be given to him. It was not our own place, and it would not have any impact on us.
Obviously, the reaction of his men was similar to what Maodun expected.
So Maodun came to the side of the Donghu messenger who looked at him with a smile and asked, "Sir, what gift did you bring to this Chanyu?"
"This... the journey is long, so I naturally haven't brought it."
"Then you leave something, it's a gift given to me by the King of Donghu." Maodun looked at the surprised messenger and continued slowly.
"What?"
"The objects of my Huns are indeed not worth anything. The land cannot be cedeed. Since you have gained a lot of benefits from my Huns, when you come here, you will leave your huge head as a compensation for me two times before!"
