Before catapults appeared, the walls were a nightmare for nomads.

Imagine. A border pass occupied by the attached Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan tribes. As far as the eye can see, alfalfa is thousands of miles. In the center are scattered with horses, forage fields, and castles. In addition to the grass everywhere for the horses to eat. but there is not half a grain of grain to feed the stomach.

What is the difference between this and the clear field of the wall?

Marco eats to his heart's content, but what about people?

Wait for a day of running wild, and find nothing. When the people were sleepy and the horses were scarce, the ambush in the city was exhausted. If you raise fire on all sides, you will inevitably be defeated.

Nomads come and go like the wind, and they can't catch up. Agriculture and animal husbandry can be strong and clear, and the wall can be viewed.

All the cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses are raised in the pen. around the city walls. The city is either a horse or a pasture. A large number of people live in the nearby cities. All you need to do is spread out your scouts and you'll be invincible. Nomadic raiders, all riding fast horses. Only a few days' rations were brought. How can it withstand a protracted war. Besides, alfalfa is everywhere, and how much do you eat until the dead horse eats.

And for Hanting. It is only necessary for the Southern Xiongnu and the three counties of Wuhuan to change to agriculture and animal husbandry, and build cities for self-defense. Lost the advantage of maneuvering like the wind. Catch a turtle in an urn, but you can't catch it yet.

Of course, take 10,000 steps back. The Southern Xiongnu and the three counties Wuhuan will not be stupid enough to be enemies of the Han Court again.

From now on, it will only be tied to Hanting's chariot more and more closely. If you practice intermarriage and education, within a hundred years, it will be completely sinicized.

Some would say that without the fierce nomadic habits, the two elite horsemen will cease to exist. Just as the elite soldiers of Danyang who have been sinicized have gradually become history.

Let's ask, aren't the Han people nowadays strong?

Where is the riding skill of the Han people? In particular, the skillful use of stirrups and hoovers. The gap is enough to be bridged by new technologies. As for the horseback national talent, the riding specialization that belongs to the category of national talent on horseback cannot be surpassed. However, in the face of new technology, these gaps are no longer able to have an impact on the war situation.

Straight to the point.

There are many benefits to car homes.

Steel-coated wheels hold the carriage in the air. It can avoid ground rats and poisonous insects. And compared with the general 'ignition is ignited, the arrow shoots through' thin tent. The carriage covered with enamel armor pieces is hard enough. And it can prevent arrows and fire. Even if the enemy attacks at night, you can hold the car and defend it, so as not to be defeated.

Liu Bei's Chinese army tent is composed of twelve enhanced 'barracks carriages', assembled in the shape of 'Tian'. Magnificent and extremely defensive.

All the degrees used in the car are the waiting grades. Not the most expensive, but the best.

After the twelve 'barracks carriages' were opened, the only thing that needed to be done was to take out the various household items stacked in the carriages one by one and arrange them neatly.

Why do you need Liu Bei to do it, Mrs. Qiru and the An sisters will soon be done.

Liu Bei did not hesitate to spend. It's holding a design drawing of the 'machine saddle' that will be sent to the museum with the ship, and it's a relish to look at.

It is different from the general Takahashi saddle. There are four leg covers under this saddle. Fastened above the horse's knees. On the same side, the front and rear legs are sleeved, and each has a 'hinged four-bar mechanism'. When the horse walks or runs, the swing of the front and rear legs will drive the four-bar mechanism, and the movement will be repeated. It is also driven by horsepower to mount a mechanical repeater mounted on both sides of the saddle, and can be extended flat like wings if necessary.

Even referring to the height and stride of each horse, different degrees of running, there is also a grooved slide on the leg cover. It allows the 'four-bar mechanism' to move up and down to form an 'offset crank slide' mechanism.

To put it simply, it's similar to a trap cart. This is a saddle that can be wound and shot by itself with the help of horsepower.

It's really ...... Too tough design.

It is said that this picture is from Su Bo's grandson, Su Yue's hand.

There are talented people in the country.

Of course, this is just a rough drawing. The specific structure still needs to be carefully adjusted in combination with the running of the horse. However, it all works. It's just that Liu Bei doesn't need a horsepower-driven, self-firing crossbow. Liu Bei also needs a powerful sniper crossbow that can wind itself for the bow rider!

The crossbow is accurate. It's a total wave shot. Shoot continuously to form a rain of arrows and kill and injure enemies. So the machine cart is very suitable. But archers are not suitable. The horseback is narrow and the horsepower is limited. You can't place a lot of repeaters. So, the trap saddle was modified to be specially wound for concurrent crossbows. Used by crossbowmen to snipe enemy horses from a distance. That couldn't be better.

Imagine. After the crossbow is fired, it is automatically wound by hanging it on the saddle. Take it again and use it at your fingertips.

Take and use as you go. It's so convenient and fast.

The power of the crossbow is directly proportional to the pulling force required to open the bow. Heavy crossbows of more than three stones are difficult to pull with arm strength. So Liu Bei switched to using the 'winding winch' and the 'ratchet crossbow machine' to work together. If you can use horsepower to drive the winch, you can wind the crossbow. Isn't it more than ten times faster than manpower!

Don't say anything else. All you need to do is hang a curved arm compound yellow shoulder crossbow in each saddle, and the knight holds another one in his hand. Three crossbow wheels, five hundred paces away, kill with one hit.

In a row, the picture is so beautiful.

Semi-automatic sniping is no.

Wait for Liu Bei to put down the picture scroll. The young ladies are mostly busy.

The boxy Chinese military tent has a high dome in the center. Covered with cowhide, steel wire mesh in the middle circle. Lined with light gauze tents. It is not oppressive, and it is safe and secure.

Thanks to any combination of 'Tian' shaped compartment wall panels, the Chinese military car tent can be split into different areas. The young ladies live in their own inner rooms. The outer room can be used to discuss military information and receive people.

"Big brother!" After placing the two righteous brothers of Chisu and White Hoof, they both rushed to meet.

"Second brother, third brother, come in quickly." Liu Bei smiled and beckoned.

Then the two took off their boots and entered the account.

Liu Bei pointed to the two richly decorated lacquered wooden boxes and said with a smile: "Do the two virtuous brothers know what's inside?" ”

Guan Zhang and the two looked at each other, and then said in unison: "I don't know." ”

Liu Bei smiled and pointed to the lacquered wooden box: "Why don't you open it and take a look?" ”

"Whoa!" The two of them stepped forward. The lacquered wooden box was looked at on all sides, and I tried to press it on the door.

Smack.

The door opened a crack.

Zhang Fei was anxious and opened it suddenly. I saw a black shadow rushing out of my face. subconsciously leaned back, turned over, and sat on the ground with a bang.

Only then did I realize that the black shadow was a black light.

Sit on the ground and look up. I saw a set of devouring armor in the box, painted with colorful tiger stripes on the chest, and a short white tiger skin on the back. Sitting upright like a human figure, black to shiny.

Liu Bei took the sword in his hand and slashed left and right. Cut up and down. The armor is as smooth as a mirror, and there is not even the slightest scratch!

Without waiting for Zhang Fei to stand up, Guan Yu also opened the door of the box.

It is also a set of tailor-made Devouring Light Divine Armor. The chest is painted with a green dragon pattern, and the back is dyed with a blue wolf skin. Sitting like a human form, domineering and exposed.

Rao is eyes are higher than the top of Guan Yu, and his eyes can't help but glow.

This armor, Liu Bei is also the first time to see.

The white tiger god pretends to be a tiger and a tiger, and the green dragon god pretends to fly the dragon and ride the clouds. I match the figure of the two.

Although they were not draped on their upper bodies, the two tailor-made light-devouring divine armors faintly had the sound of dragons and tigers roaring, and the sound of wind and thunder was invincible.

It's really tough.
