Chapter 48: Returning with a full load

After checking hundreds of boxes, only a few parts were broken and could not be used. Most of them were well preserved, and a small amount could only be used if they were repaired. In the Qin Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, there were such clever means of preservation. Zhou Yang would not have believed it if he had not seen it in person.

At this time, Zhou Yang's view of the Qin Dynasty changed greatly, and he could be said to have admired him very much.

Since coming to the Han Dynasty, except for a very few people objectively evaluating the Qin Dynasty, most people regard it as "tyrannical Qin" when they talk about the Qin Dynasty and are worthless. However, when they came to Hetao, they had a deep understanding of the Qin Dynasty and had a long-term vision for Qin Shihuang. They were even more impressed by the Qin Dynasty's strength.

Looking at the Qin crossbow parts in front of him, Zhou Yang couldn't help but think of a sentence, "History books are the products of rape." This is a big statement. What the Qin Dynasty did should be written in a big way, but it was slandered, which made people feel very touching.

"Master, what are you thinking? Guess what is here?" Qin Wuhui came to Zhou Yang with a dilapidated paint box, looking at Zhou Yang in surprise.

Zhou Yang came to his senses, looked at the paint box in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"

"You must not guess." Qin Wuhui was a little naughty: "This is Zhao crossbow! King Wuling of Zhao used this kind of crossbow to defeat the Huns!"

"Zhao Nu?" Zhou Yang was shocked. King Wuling of Zhao defeated the Huns. It happened a hundred decades ago, almost two hundred years ago.

Qin Wuhui put the lacquer box on the ground: "It's too long, and the lacquer box has been decayed." After kicking, the lacquer box shattered, the rotten wood scattered all over the ground, revealing Zhao crossbow.

Zhao crossbow and Qin crossbow are completely different. They are much smaller than Qin crossbow. The crossbow arrows are covered with rust and the crossbow arms are rotten.

The power of this crossbow is far inferior to that of Qin crossbow. However, King Wuling of Zhao defeated the Huns with this kind of crossbow, killing 300,000 Huns and fleeing only tens of thousands.

After looking at Zhao Nu and stroking the rust on it, Zhou Yang sighed again, time is unforgiving, how many heroes dissipate in the years!

Jianzhangjun put the Qin crossbow on the horse's back, walked out of the military tunnel cave, hid the hole, and then went to the next military tunnel cave. After searching one by one, Zhou Yang had more and more Qin crossbows in his hand.

In order to save time, Zhou Yang divided the Jianzhang Army and the Qin Dynasty's remnants into several groups and asked them to bring their horses to transport Qin crossbows.

In less than two days, all the horses were carried on Qin crossbows, and the search for half of the hidden military caves. Horses became the most difficult problem. Zhao Ponu frowned and came to report: "Master General, there are no horses available, what should I do?"

"Horse?" Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "This is the Hetao land. There are hundreds of thousands of war horses here in the Huns, but they are still worried about not having any horses? Qin Wuhui, where is the Xiongnu camp?"

Qin Wuhui smiled: "The land of Hetao is rich in soil, beautiful in water, green in grass, and is the favorite pasture of the Huns. There are countless camps here, more than those of the crucian carp crossing the river. You will encounter them at any time when you leave the mountain."

Zhou Yang shook his arm: "Let's go! Go find a horse!"

He led Jianzhangjun to rush out in unison.

So, the Xiongnu herders near Yinshan soon discovered a team of extremely tall knights in red uniforms rushed over. They thought it was the soldiers of the Shanyu headquarters, cheered in unison, and even brought out the horse's breasts and greeted them with mutton.

However, their enthusiasm was in vain. These knights did not say anything, and the archery technique was so accurate that it was scary. Even the archers could not have such exquisite archery skills.

After the arrow, there is a sharp sword light, as if this kind of sword is called Han Jian!

But they understood it too late.

Under Zhou Yang's leadership, the Jianzhang army attacked one camp after another of the Xiongnu camps, seized their horses, and then entered the Yinshan military cave to transport Qin crossbows.

Five days later, a team of Han soldiers in red uniforms appeared at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, with joy on their faces. Behind them were thousands of horses, and paint boxes were placed on their backs, boxes after boxes, heavy.

Of course, there are Qin crossbows and crossbow arrows in the lacquer box.

Looking at the dark horse team, Zhao Ponu was very excited and rode his horse to Zhou Yang and said happily: "Master, we have thousands of Qin crossbows in the air, and our strength will double. But if the Huns don't come, wouldn't we wait?"

"With the strength, I'm still worried that there will be no fight against the Huns?" Zhou Yang was a little funny.

"It's the reason, but if the Huns went south earlier, we wouldn't have to wait that long." Zhao Ponu looked up at the sky, the scorching sun was hanging high, and it hurt on his body: "It's still in the hot summer, and the Huns won't go south!"

Under normal circumstances, the Huns were afraid of heat and would not go south during the hot summer season. However, if it weren't normal, would the Huns go south? Something abnormal is happening now.

Shanyu Courtyard, the king's tent of Junchen Shanyu, and Junchen Shanyu was having a banquet with his ministers.

There were not many state affairs in the Huns. After all, there were only a few things, and there were too many time to pass. In addition to working hard with Ahu'er's mother, the military ministers and Shanyu had no choice but to summon the ministers to have a banquet.

"Da Shanyu, we regained the army, no less than 200,000. We transferred the troops that attacked Yuezhi and Donghu. Now, it has exceeded 300,000. After autumn, there is no 500,000, which is almost the same." Zuo Xianwang said excitedly: "In autumn, we will be fat. It is the time when the Great Huns have the strongest combat power. At that time, let the Han people taste the power of the Great Huns!"

“Utra!”

“Utra!”

The use of 500,000 troops was used, which was not many times in the history of the Huns. Only the Touman Shanyu had dispatched so many troops. As for the Maodun Shanyu, there were only 400,000 string control men. It was exciting to think about it. The ministers cheered in unison and kept waving their arms.

"Okay! Very good!" Junchen Shanyu chewed the mutton and nodded with relief: "This defeat is the fault of my Shanyu! My Shanyu had fought the Yuezhi, the Donghu, and the Han people, but he had never suffered such a defeat. This is a great humiliation. My Shanyu must avenge him! In the autumn, my Shanyu led another 500,000 troops south to flatten the Southern Dynasty! Invade Chang'an!"

"Go into Chang'an!"

"Go into Chang'an!"

Just as the ministers cheered, the Bank of China said that it hurried in: "The Great Shanyu..."

"Zhongxing said, what's the matter? Say it!" Junchen Shanyu stared at Zhongxing and said, his eyes shining brightly.

"The Great Shanyu, the Han Dynasty sent tens of thousands of cavalry to attack hundreds of camps of the Great Xiongnu. The slaughtered herders suffered 50,000 or 60,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and the losses were endless." The Central Bank said in a terrifying report.

This is something that has never happened in the history of the Huns. The military minister Shanyu stood up and stared at the Bank of China and said, "Your eunuch cannot change the bad temper of the Han people. I love Zhang Daqi! This is absolutely impossible! How can the Han people have so many cavalry?"

"The Great Shanyu is true!" Yi Zhixie stepped in: "To this day, more than 300 camps have been attacked, and more than 50,000 herders have been killed or injured. Cattle, sheep and horses have lost no less than 200,000 cattle, sheep and horses."

"Damn Han people!" Junchen Shanyu roared, his chest fluctuated rapidly, and he had already gone wild.

The military minister Shanyu showed his power, which was indeed a bit scary. The ministers did not dare to say anything anymore, so they could only wait obediently.

After a long time, Junchen Shanyu finally calmed down and asked, "Zhongxing said, "You are familiar with the internal affairs of the Han Dynasty. You said, where did so many cavalry come from in the Han Dynasty? Can cavalry fall from the sky?"

Speaking of cavalry, the Huns are very familiar with it. If a person wants to become an elite cavalry, he has to put in too much effort and it takes time to train. It is impossible for so many cavalry to emerge in a short period of time.

There were very few cavalry in the Han Dynasty, and tens of thousands of them were drilled out in a short time. That was a very amazing thing. Not only did the military ministers, Shanyu, do not believe it, but these ministers also did not believe it. If it weren't for Yi Zhixie's confirmation, they would have definitely scolded the Zhongchang for saying nonsense.

The Central Bank said after thinking about it, then said: "The Great Shanyu, the slaves are wondering about this matter. When the Han Dynasty had few horses, the kings and princes could only ride ox carts, not horse carts. Although the horses are increasing now, so many cavalry can emerge at once. Besides, if there were so many cavalry in the Han Dynasty, according to the military tactics of the Han Dynasty, they should be well hidden. Only when they suddenly appear at critical moments can they achieve the greatest results."

Junchen Shanyu nodded slightly and said, "This is the Han military tactic, which makes some sense! The wild wolf's sharp claws always stretch out at the most critical moments, and one claw is fatal!"

His tone was a little slower and he asked, "Then how did these cavalrymen in the Han Dynasty come from?"

"The Great Shanyu, the slaves are thinking that these cavalry are not real cavalry!" Zhongxing said that his intelligence is very good. Since entering the Xiongnu, he has always been the confidant of the Xiongnu Chanyu: "The Great Shanyu must know that after the Yanmen War, the Great Xiongnu lost many horses, tens of thousands. The Han Dynasty had these horses, and although it could not train elite cavalry in a short time, teach them to ride horses, and ask them to rush into the hinterland of the Great Xiongnu and carry out nuisance and killing, it is still no problem."

The military minister Shanyu suddenly realized and cursed with resentment: "The Han people are despicable. When the Shanyu retreated, they slaughtered herdsmen and seized horses. It's hateful! Humph, even so, those Han people who only know how to ride horses are not cavalry or opponents of the Great Huns. Drink!"

If he knew that Zhou Yang had tens of thousands of aircraft in his hand, Junchen Shanyu would definitely not be able to sit still. Because the crossbow is the nemesis of cavalry, and the Huns had no crossbows, he had to weigh it carefully. However, the strongest part of the Huns was the cavalry. He would really not take it seriously if he caught a person.

"Da Shanyu, this matter should not be taken lightly!" The Bank of China said that it hurriedly reminded him.

"What's wrong? Compare cavalry with the Great Huns? Even if there were 50,000 cavalry in the Han Dynasty, Ben Shanyu had 500,000 in his hand, and one of ten would beat him!" Junchen Shanyu waved his hand and sat down.

Yi Zhi stepped forward: "The Great Shanyu, the Zhongxingshuo, is very reasonable, so please ask the Great Shanyu to think carefully. Compared with cavalry, the Han Dynasty could not compare with the Great Xiongnu. However, the Han Dynasty had chariots and crossbows, and what they lacked was cavalry. If there were tens of thousands of cavalry in hand, and then cooperate with their chariots and crossbows, this would be a great threat to the Great Xiongnu."

"Then what do you mean?" Junchen Shanyu asked hesitantly.

"Da Shanyu, what I mean is that you must not sit still and watch the Han Dynasty's cavalry training be successful. You have to kill them all before they succeed in training!" Yi Zhi raised his eyebrows and his voice suddenly turned high.

The Han Dynasty's chariots were bulky and slow to move, and it was really useful to deal with cavalry. If the chariots were trapped, the Huns would have a headache. In addition, the Han Dynasty's crossbows and tens of thousands of cavalry helped the war, the Huns were in great trouble.

The best way is to stop the Han Dynasty from training cavalry. This is an excellent idea. The military minister Shanyu, who was wise and enlightened, suddenly stood up: "Zuo Xianwang, my Shanyu ordered you to lead 100,000 elite troops to go south immediately. Be sure to kill the Han Dynasty cavalry without leaving any of them!"

"Don't worry, the warriors in my headquarters have long wanted to gallop!" Zuo Xianwang accepted the order happily.

The Zuo Daduwei stood up and asked: "Da Shanyu, please allow me to go to the battle with the Zuo Xian King!"

"Okay!" Junchen Shanyu was very happy: "I am sure! Zuo Daduwei, your bravery and archery skills are among the top in the Great Huns. If you go, I will feel more at ease. Come on, I will give you this bowl of wine."

He stood up, held the golden bowl in front of him.

The Zuo Daduwei stepped forward, knelt on one knee, took the golden bowl, raised his neck and drank it all: "Thank you Da Shanyu!"

"Go!" Junchen Shanyu waved his hand.

King Zuo Xian and Commander Zuo Dadu came out of the king's tent.

"There are Huns!"

Zhao Ponu was surprised and looked ahead.

The smoke and dust in front of us cover the sky, and the sound of hooves is like thunder, and there are many people coming.

In the depths of the desert, who else can there be so many people besides the Huns?

Although Jianzhang's army was brave and good at fighting, there were only 500 people. In addition, Qin Wuhui and others were only 700 people. As for the remnants of the Qin Dynasty, the old and the young had no combat power at all. With only 700 or 800 people, the chance of winning against such a large Hun army was too small. Not to mention, Jianzhang's army had to protect thousands of powerful crossbows.

"Master, what should I do?" Zhao Ponu was helpless and had to ask Zhou Yang for advice.

Zhou Yang laughed: "Don't worry, it's not the Huns, it's the flying general. That's his handsome flag!"

"Flying General?" Zhao Ponu was a little unbelievable: "Master, even if it is a Flying General, can you see clearly so far?"

"Can you see clearly!" Zhou Yang's eyesight has now greatly improved and he has long seen Li Guang's handsome flag clearly.

Zhao Ponu kept looking at Zhou Yang. Zhou Yang had just entered Jianzhang Jun for so long that he had such eyesight, which was too difficult for people to believe. Of course, he didn't know that Zhou Yang had the strange skills of Tai Chi and guidance.

As the horses drove their horses, the sound of hooves was like thunder, splashing large patches of smoke and dust, and heading towards Li Guang.

When he got closer, it was the Han army led by Li Guang. Zhao Ponu admired Zhou Yang so much that he was overwhelmed.

"Master, you are here, I'm so anxious!" Before Li Guangren arrived, his voice arrived first and complained in a long list of complaints: "All the brothers who came out have gone back, but you didn't go back, so I'm so anxious. Master, you've been out for half a month, but you have set a time to set aside and you don't set an example. What will you do if you violate military law?"

After a word of complaint, a pair of tiger eyes turned to the paint box on the horse's back: "What is this?"

"Don't ask, I won't show it to you." Zhou Yang smiled and replied to him.

"If you don't show it to me, can't I pry it?" Li Guang pulled out the Han sword and pried it down towards the paint box without saying a word.

Immediately afterwards, Li Guang's surprise sounded across the sky: "Oh my God! This is Qin crossbow! It is Qin crossbow!"

"You know Qin Nu too? I thought no one could recognize him!" Zhou Yang asked with a smile.

Li Guang's thumb stood up to the sky: "Who doesn't know the name of Qin crossbow? Meng Tian fought in Hetao and invested tens of thousands of Qin crossbows, killing the 500,000 Xiongnu troops. How powerful would that be! If we had so many Qin crossbows... the general, wouldn't this be it?"

"Not all, there are crossbow arrows!" Zhou Yang saw Li Guang's appearance in his eyes, which was very funny. Li Guang's chin was stretched to his feet, and his pair of tiger eyes looked at the black horse team, but he didn't know how to convey it.

"How many of this is?" Li Guang was shocked again. Not only did he bring crossbows, but he even brought the crossbow arrows. How wonderful it was?

Just having a crossbow and without a crossbow arrow is equivalent to having a gun but no bullet. Now with a crossbow and arrow, this sense of happiness is too unbearable. Li Guang sat on the ground and shouted: "The sky opens his eyes, bless me, China!"

What a vision Li Guang had. He knew that there were thousands of Qin crossbows at first glance.

Is it a Qin crossbow or a few thousand aircraft, how amazing it is!

The best proof of how powerful the Qin crossbow is, the almost wiped out of the 500,000-strong army of Touman Shanyu is the best proof.

Is there so many powerful Qin crossbows in the open air? Is there any wonderful prospect? Li Guang's hands trembled a little with excitement, his eyes radiated, and his chest fluctuated sharply. I'm afraid this is the most exciting moment in his life!

"After a rough calculation, there are about 4,000 squads." Zhou Yang frowned slightly: "Some parts are broken."

"If it is broken, it can be repaired. As for Qin crossbows, all the components can be interchanged." Li Guang jumped up and was excited: "It is unlikely to build so many Qin crossbows in a short period of time. It is okay to build some components."

Making a whole crossbow and making parts are two completely different problems. With the current strength of the Han Dynasty, it is not a problem to build a thousand-eight hundred parts in a short period of time.

Li Guang was so happy: "Master, where did you find it? Since the demise of the previous dynasty, there have been fewer and fewer Qin crossbows. There have been so many Qin crossbows, but they have never appeared yet."

"Hetao." Zhou Yang's answer was very concise.

"Hetao? Have you gone to Hetao?" Li Guang's eyes almost fell off: "Oh, it must be Yinshan!"

It was Zhou Yang's turn to be curious: "Why did you see me going to Yinshan?"

"Yinshan, since King Wuling of Zhao, China has been hiding troops in Yinshan, storing food, grass and weapons. Later, the famous general Li Mu, as well as Meng Tian from the previous dynasty, were all working hard to manage the place. Except for Yinshan, it is impossible to find it anywhere else." Li Guang's eyes were very bright, as if they were gems.

Zhou Yang had to accept that he was worthy of being a famous general. He immediately hit the mark and gave him a thumbs up.

"Master, this is not right!" Li Guang was a little confused: "Even if the Master arrived in Yinshan, these hidden soldiers were very secret and not so easy to find. How did you find it?"

With one word, Zhou Yang called Qin Wuhui: "He called Qin Wuhui, the remnants of the previous dynasty are still standing in the Hetao area."

Immediately afterwards, the deeds of Qin Wuhui and the others were told.

"That's amazing! It's amazing!" Li Guang wiped his tears and praised: "This is the passionate man in China! Don't worry, I, Li Guang, guarantee that you are fine!"

Qin Wuhui knew about the name of General Fei and was very moved: "General Xie Fei."

"No need to thank you, who told us that we are a family!" Li Guang was familiar with him and patted Qin Wuhui's shoulders, making him feel intimate, as if he saw his relatives.

You are a general of the Han Dynasty and I am a survivor of the previous dynasty. Why are you a family? Qin Wuhui was shocked.

Li Guang didn't mind at all and said with a smile: "The former general Li Xin is my ancestor!"

Li Xin was a rising star during the Qin Shihuang period and was known for his bravery. During the Battle of the Destruction of Chu, Wang Jian insisted that a 600,000 army could destroy Chu, but Li Xin said that 200,000 was enough. Qin Shihuang praised his courage and ordered him to be a general, leading 200,000 Qin troops to destroy Chu, but he was defeated by Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State.

This defeat was one of the few defeats in Qin State after Shang Yang's reforms and the only major defeat in Qin Shihuang's life. Li Xin was ridiculed by later generations for this.

In fact, Li Xin's bravery is very famous. The nomadic peoples in Longxi were very afraid of him. Qin Shihuang did not kill him, but sent Li Xin to Longxi to guard him. With him, Longxi was safe and sound. Later, he did a lot of efforts in the Battle of Hetao.

As soon as these words were spoken, the distance between Qin Wuhui and Li Guang suddenly became much closer, and the intimate spirit suddenly appeared: "The Flying General is the descendant of a famous family, no wonder this is so!"

"The Qin sword given to my ancestor by the First Emperor is still here!" Li Guang rode his horse and rode with Qin Wuhui.

Although later generations scolded Qin Shihuang so well, Qin Shihuang was a sacred existence in the minds of the Qin army, supreme, and the Qin army admired Qin Shihuang very much. When he heard this, Qin Wuhui was very excited: "Flying General, can I have a look?"

"Please in the ancestral hall." Li Guang was a little helpless.

"Oh!" Qin Wuhui sighed.

The two rode together, and the more they talked, the more they became more and more happy they became. The remnants heard that Li Guang was actually a descendant of Li Xin, and their affection for him increased greatly. Who told them that they were all from the same source?

After receiving Li Guang's guarantee, the final worries of the survivors no longer existed, and everyone was happy and excited.

Zhou Yang rode his horse to Li Guang and asked, "General Fei, what is the situation in the army?"

"Is there any need to say? It's so good that it can't be better!" Li Guang's brows dissipated and said with a smile: "Master General, this time we have added tens of thousands of war horses. Needless to say, cattle and sheep are hundreds of thousands more. There are also more than fifty thousand Huns killed."

"What about the casualties of brothers?" Zhou Yang was most worried about was that the casualties were too large. These cavalry were formed just after Zhou Yang spent the power of nine o'clock and two tigers.

"Don't worry, the general, the casualties are very small." Li Guang's tone was a little high: "Only forty-seven people were killed. There were hundreds of injured, most of which were minor injuries, which was not in the way."

Although the Huns' army was north of Longcheng and did not have any threat to the Han army, it was impossible to prevent cold swords and arrows, and there were no casualties at all.

The deaths of forty-seven people were exchanged for more than 50,000 heads, which was an astonishing casualty comparison, and it was enough to look down on the ages!

A day later, he met Gongsun He again, and he also came out to find Zhou Yang. As the commander, Zhou Yang has not returned yet, so how could the generals not worry? Many generals led their troops out to find him.

From time to time, we would encounter the searching Han army. When the troops were united, the team became stronger and stronger. When the Great Wall was in sight, there were already tens of thousands of troops.

As soon as he saw the Great Wall, Qin Wuhui and the others were so excited that they cried.

The Great Wall was built by a 300,000 army led by Meng Tian, ​​and was built by Qin Wuhui and his ancestors. Decades have passed, and this is their first time seeing the Great Wall. This excitement is far beyond the description of writing.

No one does not admire their deeds, but comforts them. The more they are, the more they cry, the more sad they cry, causing Zhou Yang and the others to shed tears with them.

After crying for half an hour, they were still sad. Zhou Yang had no choice but to order the Han army to help them away. Qin Wuhui and the others turned around one step and were reluctant to leave.

Before we arrived in Yanmen, we were greeted by Cheng Bushi and Feng Jing and the others.

When Cheng Bushi and Feng Jing and the others learned that Zhou Yang brought back more than 4,000 Qin crossbows, their eyes almost fell to the ground.

After repeated confirmation, Cheng Bushi and Feng Jing jumped up excitedly. This was a great joy!

Zhou Yang originally had more than 4,000 crossbows, and with Qin crossbows, there were more than 8,000 crossbows. There were also the crossbows sent by Emperor Jing from Chang'an, which were not far from thousands.

Compared with the Battle of Hetao, Meng Tian invested 50,000 crossbows, which were far behind. However, under the current circumstances, this is the best result that the Han army can have.

More than 4,000 Qin crossbows, plus the big yellow crossbow that is close to the power of Qin crossbows, there are more than 5,000 consecutive crossbows. If you shoot at the Huns, do you still have to think about the consequences? The grand occasion of the Battle of Hetao may not be able to be staged!

When they returned to Yanmen, Zhou Yang's general order, Li Guang, Cheng Bushi, Feng Jing and others were busy gathering various men, assembled Qin crossbows, and repaired parts.

Zhou Yang was fine, so he locked up in the house and wrote a memorial to Emperor Jing, telling the Hetao incident and sending people to Chang'an. Thousands of Qin crossbows, as well as the weapons and food in the Yinshan Mountains, this is a huge matter and must be reported. Besides, there is also the resettlement issue of Qin Wuhui and the others, which is necessary.

The news spread, and the three armies encouraged each other, and the movements of assembling Qin crossbows were particularly quick. It took only one day to assemble more than 4,000 Qin crossbows.
Chapter completed!
