Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 391 Wei State's Frightening Strength (Part [-])

Chapter 394 The Terrifying Strength of Wei State
"We will defend it to the death!"

The tens of thousands of high-spirited and murderous elite troops made the representatives of the four countries who came to observe the military exercise secretly click their tongues. With this momentum and equipment, who in the world can resist it?
Murong Kai finally understood why Ran Min was not afraid that they would learn the true skills of Wei Jun, and the people who dared to love didn't take them seriously at all.

Unlike the representatives of the Four Kingdoms, the people of Great Wei who saw this scene were very proud in their hearts.

They have been bullied by the Hu people for decades, so how can they have any resentment in their hearts, but unfortunately, the Jin army is too useless, not only unable to protect them, but instead bullying them in different ways.Especially when they saw Wei Jun, who was like a magic soldier and general, they were full of confidence.Compared with the Wei army, it is clear at a glance whether the Jin army is good or bad.

This is Great Wei's pride, and the audience erupted immediately.

When the common people present saw the representatives of Xianbei Murong Department and Tuoba Department on the military exercise field, their eyes were somewhat unfriendly.

With so many malicious looks, Tuo Baguang and Murong Kai felt terrified.

Gradually, thin beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.

Ran Min rode on Zhulong's war horse, and the soldiers of the rushing battalion waved their hands, with a smug expression on his face, he really envied others.

Ran Min continued: "I'm waiting to drink your celebration wine, don't let me down!"

"Big Wei Wansheng, Wansheng!"

This row of phalanxes walked through the square, which made people see their blood boiling. It also gave the people present, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Xie Ai, Murong Kai, Tuo Baguang and others a new understanding of soldiers. .

Just after the infantry battalion finished crossing the river, at this time, there was a slight vibration from the end of the earth. Xie Ai, Murong Kai, and Tuo Baguang were all people who knew soldiers. This movement must have been created by the arrival of a large number of cavalry.

Sure enough, it didn't take long before I heard the sound of horseshoes like rolling thunder. The horseshoes and the hard road made rhythmic sounds.

This cavalry is covered in black armor, and what they hold in their hands is not an ordinary crossbow.It is the most advanced, most lethal, and most proud of the Ma Gong crossbow in the Wei Dynasty and even in this world. This strange combination of crossbows and bows is all the rage for its long range, accurate shooting, and easy training.

Soon to replace the original bow and arrow.

In Chinese history, the number of bows and crossbows equipped in the past dynasties is far less than that of the Song Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, because of the loss of the traditional horse-producing land, the Song army was extremely short of war horses. Cavalry threatened.In order to deal with this threat, the Song army equipped more than [-]% of the crossbowmen in the army.

Murong Kai's face suddenly turned pale. No one knew better than him the true power of the Magong Crossbow. In the confrontation between the Wei and Yan armies, this kind of crossbow could cover the entire area with one shot every three breaths (about one second). All targets within 150 steps in front of them.

"Dawei Yueqi Battalion, Your Majesty please review!"

Soon a bloodthirsty coldness swept across the audience, and Xie Ai suddenly found a feeling of being nailed by a poisonous snake, which made him very uncomfortable.

Xie Ai was just uncomfortable, but Murong Kai's heart was bleeding.

In the Battle of Liantai, the Yueqi battalion with more than a thousand riders in the area, the damage they caused was definitely not worse than that of the Buying battalion.Because the cavalry can't beat the infantry and can run, but the cavalry can't beat the cavalry, but they can only be slaughtered.

At this time, Xie Ai unconsciously compared Wei State's Yueqi battalion with Liang State's iron cavalry. In terms of skilled riding skills, the two sides are indeed equal in weight. In terms of bravery, they are equally divided, but compared to equipment Too bad.

In the historical records, Ran Min defeated many times with less cavalry, and all of them defeated the enemy with cavalry. In fact, Ran Min did not have too many cavalry, and he did not have to use them in every battle. It was formed on the basis of Hou Zhao's Long Xiang Forbidden Army. Among them were many Huns, even Jie people who belonged to Ran Min, and of course Xianbei people.

The so-called "cavalry" in Ran Min's hands was actually his infantry battalion. They did not have cavalry at first, and they couldn't even do the most basic horseback marching. If they were too fast, they would fall from above.

But Ran Min used a clumsy method to tie the soldiers to the horse with ropes, so that although they would not fall off, if the horse died or stumbled, they would not be able to take the opportunity to leave the horse.

In history, from the founding of the country to the subjugation of the country, Ran Min basically fought all the time for three years, and the captured horses were also exhausted in the war.

Now, because of the appearance of Ran Ming, Wei Guo reversed the destiny, and history has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Now Wei State does not lack war horses. If Ran Min needs them, he can spare more than [-] troops to ride them instead.

Because there are too many war horses, even the Modao army formed by Ran Ming can only defeat the enemy in the form of foot combat. big pressure.

So in their daily training, they are very strict, very hard, and even more attentive.

The Yue Qiying walked through the audience, which shocked the representatives of the four countries. In terms of riding skills, the nomadic Yan Kingdom and Dai Kingdom no longer have an advantage.

Confusion appeared in Xie Ai's eyes, what should Liangguo do?
Just when Xie Ai's spirit came out of his body and he was dreaming, a series of eight-ox crossbow carts began to appear on the stage.

The power of the eight-ox crossbow is very powerful. Each arrow is eight feet long, and the arrow is as thick as a child's arm. , it can ignore defense.The walls of the rammed-earth buildings would collapse if they were shot with arrows like this for a day, and the cavalrymen would fly upside down more than ten meters away if they were hit by it. After all, the strength of the eight cows was not blown out.

No matter how strong the front line is, it can't withstand his intensive shooting. The only disadvantage is that the cost of the eight-ox crossbow is too expensive. Each crossbow arrow costs five or six catties of refined iron. A crossbow arrow is equivalent to an adult sheep.A round of shooting is almost equivalent to dozens of hundreds of sheep flying in the air.

In this day and age steel is more expensive than copper of equal importance.Although there is nothing that can withstand the intensive shooting of an eight-ox crossbow, Wei Guo does not have such a large financial resources to support such a style of play.

After the eight ox ballista passed, it was the kind of behemoth with a height of two feet ([-] meters). Based on the green material, the glutinous rice soup is used to fill the cracks in the strong city, otherwise the rammed earth city wall will be smashed down.

So far, Xiangyang Cannon has no record of attacking Jiancheng, but it does not mean that it has not attracted people's attention.The Xiangyang Cannon is not without its weaknesses, but it is too heavy and inconvenient to move. The wooden vehicle cannot stand the toss at all. The steel axle developed under Ran Ming's instruction has come out, and the bearing has also been developed, but the problem lies in the lubrication On the oil, there is no clue yet.

Under normal circumstances, Xiangyang guns will not be transported thousands of miles away, but disassembled, transported separately in parts, and then assembled at the destination.

However, this was the time for Wei Guo to declare its force, and Ran Min did not forget to scare them.

For this military exercise, Ran Min paid a lot of money. Fifty heavy Xiangyang artillery vehicles, one hundred medium artillery vehicles, plus the stone bombs and incendiary bombs they carried were enough to fight a medium-sized battle. up.

Ran Min's investment is not ineffective, at least Murong Kai has realized that it is impossible for Murong Ke to build a new city in western Liaoning, adopt layers of defense, and trade space for time.

In the original cognition, a solid medium-sized military town, with sufficient food and sufficient defenders, can resist the siege of the enemy ten times as much for more than half a year.

But seeing this kind of colossal monster, Murong Kai knew that that kind of fortified city might not be able to withstand the constant bombardment of this kind of catapult for three to five days.

Fortunately, this time it was just a military exercise, not a real war counterattack. It was just a show, food and grass or something, and there was no large-scale mobilization. The mobilization was also a symbolic point.

We must know that in ancient grain transportation, especially land transportation, most of them were consumed on the road.

However, the dispatched troops walked for a day, and when everyone was so hungry that their stomachs were growling, they only crossed the river with more than [-] troops and equipment.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ran Min intended to go back to the city, but looked at the representatives with serious expressions, and said with a playful smile: "Messengers, can you see my warriors?"

Murong Kai's head turned extremely fast, and as soon as Ran Min's words fell, his flattery came out: "Your Majesty's warriors are all heroes who stand against a hundred with one, and the foreign ministers are full of admiration!"

Tuo Baguang also didn't want to show an arrogant look in front of Ran Min.

The nomadic peoples do not serve the benevolence, justice and propriety of Confucianism of the Han people. What they respect most is strength, which is the fist idea of ​​later generations.If your fist is bigger than his, he will obey you, and he will never have abnormal thoughts.Of course, this is the choice of smart people, and it does not rule out those idiots who have flooded their heads and seek their own death.

Ran Min has his strength and capital that he can be proud of. "Your Majesty let me see the power of the heavenly dynasty. Tuoba Guang used to be watching the sky from the bottom of a well, but now I know what the light of rice grains is like. How can it compete with the sun and the moon!"

"Ahem..." Ran Min blushed and smiled slightly.He said: "I have a banquet with you in the palace today, which is considered as a practice for you. The marching speed of the army should be a little slower. Don't worry, you can catch up with the participating troops tomorrow morning, and you won't be delayed to observe the military exercise!" "

That night, Ran Min hosted a banquet in the palace to entertain the representatives. The dinner was very sumptuous, but everyone seemed to be chewing wax and had no appetite.

The state of Wei is like a cloud of fog, it's okay if you don't know, the more you understand, the more surprising you will be.
