Chapter 4157: How could it be so

Although Carano and the others used the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, this kind of trick is not a problem for the shield guards who are constantly responding to changes.
Although the gongs and drums in the northwest direction attracted the attention of many surrounding shield guards, except for Wu Ban's shield guards, the shield guards in other positions were not motivated at all, just like other soldiers have strong confidence in the shield guards. The shield guard himself also believes in his teammates—the group of people who are doing things in the northwest direction, and the nearby shield guards will take care of it, and we will continue to garrison in place.
Therefore, when the Kushuang soldiers with Guduo appeared on the east side, the shield guards led by Xu Ding and others seemed very calm - look, this is not coming.
After fighting with Shield Guard for so many years, the second talent of Guishuang's dual-talented soldiers is either to continue to strengthen defense, or to attack this type of talent with heavy weapons. After all, only these two talents are superimposed and can compete with Shield Guard. A bucket.
Other fancy talents are basically scraping, and in order to better use heavy weapons to strike such talents, all dual-talented elites with heavy weapon strike talents on Kushuang's side are basically equipped with long-handled bones.
Although with the passage of time, the effect of Guduo against shield guards is not so good, but after all, it is stronger than sharp, cutting, and piercing talents that are basically useless.
"Play a wave of crossbow machines." Before Xu Ding had time to order to strictly guard the front line and do a good job against the first wave of Kushuang's impact, Wu Yi had already given the order.
Although I don't know how many people there are, and I don't know what kind of trump card your Guishuang has, but there is absolutely no problem with a wave of heavy crossbow blows to see the quality.
Following Wu Yi's order, the shield guards in front of Xu Ding quickly separated into a passage, and then a large number of shield guards with crossbow machines appeared in the front line. Compared with Wu Ban's previous long-range projectiles, this time Wu Yi launched a direct attack. It's a flat shot.
Therefore, when Carano saw a large number of shield guards holding crossbow machines appearing on the front line, and felt bad, the dense crossbow arrows had already covered it like rain.
Even if this wave of blows against Wu Yi saw that the opponent was not a defensive unit, he used conventional iron-clad crossbow arrows, but the short spear-level things pierced through like flying sand, and the blow to Guishuang was really like a Like cutting wheat.
The Guishuang soldiers at the forefront were directly smashed into pieces, and the tyrannical straight shot tore a road directly on the front of Guishuang, and the charge was directly held down.
Even Carano, who had sworn before, was like a bucket of cold water pouring down three or nine days at this moment. What kind of ambition, what kind of sneak attack, facing such a rain of arrows is a joke.
Compared with the arrow rain that Guishuang did not even scrape the shield guard, the crossbow machine used by the Han army was a devastating blow.
It can be said that it was just a flat shot, which directly knocked Carano’s subordinates into the dark. Even if the death squads rushed in the forefront, the death of the death squads in an instant was enough to make everyone feel cold. The value of the crossbow shield guard, For the first time on the battlefield.
"Retreat!" Carano ordered decisively, even if it was to fill with life, it would not be such a fill-in, and their formation was not suitable for facing the ballista salvo.
After all, the Da Yuezhi had also experienced the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and had witnessed how the Daqin Crossbow Array killed the legions of other countries. Although Daqin's Crossbow Array was powerful in that era, it was not impossible for the Six Nations to make breakthroughs by adjusting the formation.
But since it has been said that they rely on the formation to break through, the normal intensive charge phalanx is definitely not suitable for facing the crossbow formation.
Therefore, after being hit hard, Carano decided to take advantage of the chaos and retreated quickly while it was dark. Wu Yi also quickly added a second wave of shooting, but this time the effect was not very good. The effect of flat shooting in a dense army formation is excellent, but it is not as good as the infantry when fighting the skirmish line.
Wu Yi's second wave of additional arrow strikes is naturally not so lethal, but that's true, two salvos at least cost Carano nearly a thousand people, and this is just a reorganized crossbow shield guard The attack of the legion, Wu Yi has three such legions.
After the two rounds of anticlimactic night raids ended, the perimeter of the Han army camp suddenly fell silent, as if Guishuang had completely abandoned the night raids, but Wu Yi and the others' keen intuitions vaguely noticed that General Guishuang did not. Leave, at least not give up.
The intelligence of Helan and Carano was quickly gathered to Brahe and Helilah. The Han room attacked, but they did not expect that the Han room had prepared more crossbow machines.
"It is estimated that the number of crossbow machines will exceed 10,000." Helilah said to Brahe with a gloomy expression after combining all the information of Helan and Carano, "This scale is too unexpected. The strength of the Han army is more outrageous than we imagined."
"We placed the inside line on the opposite side, why haven't we reported this?" Brahe asked with a livid look at Helilah.
To build these more than 3,000 crossbows, Brahe cut down as much forest as he could from the west of Palayaga to the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.
Although these forests were cut down, it was not entirely for the purpose of making car crossbows, but more to ensure the development of vision and prevent Han army scouts from relying on the forest to touch the vicinity of Palayaga, but more than 3,000 car crossbows really cost a fortune. It took Brahe a lot of energy.
This thing Brahe intends to use as a killer. As a result, the result of his hard work is that the Han army next door inexplicably owns 10,000 crossbow machines. In machine confrontation, power is only one aspect.
At least the Han army's crossbow machine, within the visible range, hit most of the soldiers of Guishuang, and it was enough to kill them directly. This kind of power is enough.
Helilah was quite silent, flipping the short spear brought back by Helan and Carano. As a staff officer who personally organized the production of more than 3,000 crossbow machines, he naturally knew that the use of this short spear as a crossbow machine was roughly size and power.
Knowing this, Helilah had to have doubts about his own internal lines. 10,000 small and medium-sized crossbows that can use short spears as crossbow bolts cannot be manufactured without a little information, unless these crossbows are not. produced by the Ganges.
Gu Yan
Thinking of this, Helilah recalled the information passed on by his own insider before, and then thought about the information about Jinhou and Chenhou, and had some vague guesses.
"These crossbow machines are probably produced and delivered inside the Han Dynasty." Helilah said, "Jin Hou and Chen Hou of the Han Dynasty came here in person, so it is reasonable to bring a batch of crossbow machines."
"10,000 crossbow machines is not a small number, especially this kind of medium-sized crossbow machine. The manpower and material resources are not a small number when transported from the rear, and the distance is long, and the mechanical loss will be very large." Brahe frowned and watched. Hellerach said.
"It was delivered by sea." Helilah sighed and said, "In the past, it was impossible for the Han army to transport supplies by sea, but after the death of His Royal Highness Celian, in terms of shipping, at least with Zhou Yu's escort, no one can stop it. Yes, with the transportation capacity of the Han army, 10,000 crossbows are not a problem at all, and even if the Han army has more, they can be transported."
When Brahe and the others heard this, their expressions were extremely ugly.
"That is to say, there may be more crossbow shield guards in the Han army?" Brahe said with an ugly face, even he had to admit that Helilah's analysis was correct.
"It sounds outrageous, but in fact, it's normal." Helilah looked at Brahe and said, "So next we need to use the way the Six Nations faced the Great Qin crossbow array to fight the Han army. , we don't know how many crossbow machines the Han army is equipped with, and we can only fight in the way that the six countries faced Qin."
After all, Helilah was a descendant of Sogdian historians, and he read these old papers a lot, so in the face of this situation, there are still some ways.
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask one thing, why do they have so many crossbow machines?" Brahe asked suddenly, "I didn't think so before, but this time it's too outrageous. It took me almost two years. , organized so many people and did nothing to make 3,000 crossbows, and the Han army unexpectedly took out tens of thousands of crossbows."
Theoretically speaking, the production of large and small crossbows is the easiest, on the contrary, it is the most difficult to produce medium crossbows, because when the large crossbow machine is assembled, it is easy to adjust the parts larger and smaller, and the plate requirements can also be appropriately reduced. , it does not affect the roughness of the production, after all, no one will report too high expectations for the accuracy of the crossbow.
A small crossbow machine can be made by a professional craftsman alone with his apprentice. With practice makes perfect, the efficiency is relatively high.
On the contrary, the medium-sized crossbow machine is the most troublesome, and the Han Dynasty is the most difficult medium-sized crossbow machine to make according to the size of the crossbow arrows it is equipped with, which is outrageous.
"The Han family is different from us. They can put the crossbow machine on the assembly line." Helilah said calmly, "This is the legacy of Da Qin, and we don't have it."
"We can learn." Brahe said seriously.
Helilah looked at Brahe like a fool, "Do you know why it is said to be the inheritance of Da Qin? This means that there must be a figure like Qin Shi Huang to do it."
The assembly line is said to be simple, but the requirements for starting are the uniformity of weights and measures, the uniformity of precision, the disassembly of the process, and the cooperation of skilled workers and technicians.
But this requirement is completely impossible for Brahe, let alone Brahe. In later generations, India will not be able to fully unify the local weights and measures. A country has several common measurement methods, as well as several types of railways. Several languages, several laws.
"You seem to admire Qin Shi Huang very much?" Brahe looked at Helilah strangely, "I heard other feelings from your tone."
"We need someone like that," sighed Hlilah.
Since he was beaten for the first time by the Han family, Helilah was able to withdraw from the main battlefield, and had time to calm down and read his own books, and searched and read the classics of the Han family, to learn about learning, comprehend, and know this from the historical books. The essence of a strong state.
However, the more he watched, the more and more Helilah understood what Guishuang lacked. Their Guishuang Empire had no shortage of people, no shortage of food, no shortage of soldiers, and a vast territory and abundant resources. A great emperor who passed down the heritage he had learned into one.
If there is such an emperor, many problems will no longer be problems, such as the problem of the commander of the army, and the problem of the organization of the soldiers. After solving their own internal conflicts, it is not impossible for them to accumulate such combat power.
"Without such a person, many seemingly simple things are just empty words. Only such a person can create a complete soul for a huge empire." Helilah said very seriously, "The six kingdoms are not one, and the The one who created the foundation of unity, the Han family inherited the legal system, and was able to carry it forward."
Brahe didn't know why, and Helilah didn't want to say more. He knew in his heart that he couldn't solve the cultural problems in China, and he couldn't complete the unification from the details of customs, language, weights and measures. Split into hundreds of kingdoms.
"Forget it, these are useless. In short, the next five people will use the ballista. After the shooting is completed, quickly push the ballista to leave the place, and then shoot again. We use the crossbow, the purpose is to facilitate the movement." Helilah said to Helan, who was commanding the crossbow unit.
"Okay, I will do my best." Helan said cautiously, and then said about his previous experience, "I mean the Atsugi of the crossbow can block the opponent's crossbow machine, so why don't we try to put the Atsugi Shields are erected on carts, and the carts are pushed to attack."
Both Brahe and Helilah were stunned when they heard the words. They never thought about this kind of problem. It takes 30 to 40 centimeters to replace the shield of the shield guard with wood to have the defensive power of the early steel shield. It is too thick and the weight is too outrageous. It is impossible for Kushuang soldiers to use it, so I have never considered this issue.
However, Helan faced Wu Ban and led a volley of crossbow shield guards and hid under the crossbow to escape the catastrophe. He didn't think clearly about escaping from death before, but Helan's mind even constructed a frame after this journey. shape of the car.
My wooden shield can't stand the blow of your crossbow machine, but I can always stand it when I push the trolley. It doesn't even need special processing. The hundred-year-old tree is cut down, and the piles are dozens of centimeters thick. After that, if it is erected on the car, thousands of them can be manufactured in a few days, which is much better than the crossbow machine.
"Is it this way of use?" Brahe looked at Helan in surprise, and then took a deep breath, "Return to Pharaiya first."
