Chapter 724: The Mo Family (5)

After taking a turn in the warehouse and listening to the explanations of Mo Jing and others, Gao Yuan also had a basic understanding of the chariots and equipment made by the Mo family.

Of course, the power of these chariots is not as exaggerated as Mozi said, and if you get these weapons, you can calm the world, after all, the power of these chariots is still driven by manpower, and it has not reached the real automation, and the weapons used are still cold weapons such as bows and crossbows and trebuchets, which have limited lethality and have not yet reached a qualitative change, but if they are used properly, they can still play a considerable role on the battlefield.

After visiting all the chariots and equipment made by the Mo family, Gao Yuan suddenly asked: "Village Chief Mo, when I entered the village, I saw a lot of waterwheels in the field, I wonder if these waterwheels were left by Old Man Mo?" ”

Mo Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Wu Anjun, the production method of these waterwheels is not passed down by the ancestors, but we moved here to build a village, open up wasteland and farm, because there is a need for farming, so these farming furniture are made." ”

It turned out that most of the disciples of the Mo family were craftsmen, few farmers, and Mozi himself was also a craftsman and had never farmed, so the furniture he made was either related to war or civil engineering, but it had little to do with agricultural production. However, after the Mo family moved here, the craft could not be exchanged for food, and they had to farm by themselves.

Gao Yuan said: "In addition to the waterwheel, you also made those farming furniture. ”

Mo Jing said: "There are also cylinder cars, cocoon cars, seedling horses, overturned cars, etc., a total of more than ten kinds. ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Can you take me to see these equipment?" ”

In fact, when I visited the warehouse just now, Gao Yuan didn't ask much, but Mo Jing didn't expect that Gao Yuan's interest in these agricultural tools seemed to be greater than that of chariot equipment, and he couldn't help but be very strange, after all, in Mo Jing's view, chariot equipment is the most important, these hundreds of years, all countries in China have not been like this to fight and kill, when Mo Xiao saved Song, it was not because the king of Chu invited Lu Ban to make a sharp weapon for the Chu State to attack the city, and I had never seen that monarch would put more effort into agricultural tools.

However, the gaze of the plateau is naturally different from that of other monarchs, firstly, the current chariot equipment is not enough to change the mode of war, and cannot replace the traditional infantry and cavalry; In this sense, agricultural tools are more important than chariot tools, because these agricultural tools can increase agricultural productivity, promote agricultural development, and enhance national strength.

Of course, Mo Jing didn't understand these things, but Gao Yuan wanted to see agricultural tools, so of course he wouldn't refuse, and immediately took Gao Yuan, Chun Yu Zhongxiu, Shui Xinyue and others out of the warehouse.

At this moment, I saw a soldier hurriedly come to the front of the plateau and said, "My lord, the letter from the lady has arrived." As he spoke, he handed a scroll of paper to Takahara.

Gao Yuan took the scroll of paper, opened it and looked at it, and it also changed color slightly, and said: "The camp was attacked by the Hun army last night, but fortunately, the camp was well guarded and was defeated by us, so there was no loss." ”

Chun Yu Zhongxiu was also taken aback, he didn't expect that as soon as his party left the camp, the Hun army was killed, and it was an attack on the camp at night, it seems that after suffering a few losses, the Huns have also learned a lot of wisdom, and they have come to the way of others, and they have given their bodies, but unfortunately their opponents are not the Hun army, but the well-trained, disciplined army, the result is not easy to get.

At this time, Gao Yuan said to Mo Jing: "Village Chief Mo, since the Hun army is here, we can't stay here anymore, we must go back immediately." Resist the attack of the Xiongnu army, and after defeating the Xiongnu army, I will come to the village to discuss the migration with you. ”

In fact, Chun Yu Zhongxiu and Shui Xinyue both wanted to rush back to the barracks immediately, because the living conditions in the village were too poor, and it was okay to avoid being forced during the day, but it was indeed very difficult to rest at night, and the two of them didn't even take off their coats when they slept last night, and they talked for most of the night, so they didn't sleep for less than two hours. Therefore, the two did not want to spend another night in the village. Now that I heard that the Hun army was coming, I couldn't help but be secretly happy in my heart, it was really timely, and I could finally go back.

The attack of the Hun army, Mo Jing and others have heard Zhai Jin say, so it is natural for the plateau to rush back to command the battle, so Mo Jing said: "Since it is the Hun army that kills, we naturally dare not keep it, and we can't stand idly by, please Wu Anjun turn back to the camp first, I will order someone to take these chariots and weapons, and rush to Wu Anjun's camp early tomorrow morning at the latest to help Wu Anjun resist the Hun army." ”

Gao Yuan also nodded, and said: "In this way, thank you to the village chief and you, after defeating the Xiongnu army, I will reward you for your merits and deeds, and I will not let you contribute in vain." I'll leave some of the men here in a moment to help you haul the vehicles. "In fact, there are only thirty or forty pieces of various chariot weapons in the village now, even if they are all dragged to the camp of the Dai army, it will not play a big role, but you can take a look at how powerful these weapons made by the Mo family are, and Gao Yuan can also know the bottom of his heart.

After everyone said yes, Gao Yuan stopped looking at any agricultural tools, and immediately ordered the whole army to gather and immediately set off and return to the camp. There were not many soldiers in the army, so they were quickly assembled, and Takahara ordered that thirty soldiers and thirty horses be left in the village, so that they could help the village wait for a while to haul the carts, and then led the other seventy soldiers out of the village. And Mo Jing and the others also immediately arranged for the people in the village, set up a truck, and prepared to assist the army.

Because the plateau and his party were all cavalry, they moved very fast, and under the gallop of the war horses, it only took more than an hour to rush back to the camp after a distance of more than 50 miles, and it was not yet noon, just in time for lunch.

After returning to the camp, because he hadn't started to cook lunch yet, Gao Yuan immediately summoned Zhong Sun Qi, Ling Feng, and Ah Ran Shi Qimo to ask about last night's battle.

It turned out that at the second watch last night, a Hun army attacked the camp at night. But the Dai army had already dug thousands of small pits around the trenches of the camp, each of which was only more than a foot deep and about half a foot in diameter, mainly used to trip over war horses. As soon as a fast-galloping war horse stepped into a small pit, it would immediately stumble and fall to the ground.

As a result, before the Hun army rushed to the edge of the trench, countless war horses stepped into the pit and were tripped to the ground, and the men and horses who fell to the ground in front tripped over their companions who followed behind.

Because the Dai army had successfully attacked the Xiongnu at night twice, it would naturally prevent the Xiongnu army from attacking at night, not only leaving a large number of soldiers on duty at night, but also Zhongsun Qi, Ling Feng, and A Ran Shi Qimo took turns to keep vigil. In fact, the Hun army was still four or five miles away, and it was discovered by the night guard soldiers of the acting army, and it was transmitted back to the camp with flying birds, and the main person of the night vigil tonight was Ling Feng, and after receiving the alarm, he immediately called the soldiers who were on the night watch, and prepared to guard the camp.

And the Hun army has not yet approached the camp, it has been turned over by people on their backs, screaming and screaming, causing such a big movement, the Dai army has naturally heard it, but in the dark night, the Dai army is also inconvenient to attack, so Ling Feng just ordered the soldiers to guard the camp, and at the same time shoot with bows and arrows.

Although there is no accuracy in the dark, but the random arrows are fired, and there will always be a few dead rats, there are still some Huns who are hit by arrows, of course, there are also a small number of Hun soldiers who rushed through the trap area, and dodged the bow and arrow, but when they rushed to the edge of the trench, they could not contain the war horses, and as a result, they all fell into the trench and were worn by the wooden vertebrae inserted in the trench.

After almost an hour, although the Hun army launched several attacks, it never killed the trenches at all, and I don't know how many men and horses were lost, so I had to collect and withdraw the army.

It was only after dawn that the soldiers of the Dai army saw clearly that within a radius of about fifty paces from the front of the trench, there were almost all the corpses of the Huns, and some died in the trenches. After the check, a total of 673 Hun soldiers were killed, and the number of war horses reached 755, of which more than half of the war horses were actually not dead, but the front legs stepped into the pit and were broken, and they could no longer run, so they had to lie on the ground and scream, which made people quite unbearable to hear.

However, the war horse with the leg bone dismantled is basically equivalent to a waste horse, although the Bailing clan has a magic technique to treat injuries, but it is not a cure for all pains, mainly effective for skin and flesh injuries, and although the injury can also be cured for bone dismantling, the effect is much worse, if it is in Daijun, maybe it can slowly be re-treated for all the war horses, but in the current environment, it is obviously impossible to treat all the war horses, and can only choose more than 100 stronger horses for treatment, and other war horses can only be killed on the spot, skinned and deboned, horse meat is used as food, so the staple food at noon today is to eat horse meat, and it is also used to feed the beasts trained by the White Spirit Clan.

After dawn, Zhongsun Qi sent people to clean up the battlefield, and at the same time immediately sent a large number of scouts to investigate the whereabouts of the Xiongnu army, but until now, the scouts have not returned, so they do not know the details.

Because there is not much content in the book of Asuka Biography, he can only let Gao Yuan know the result, and he does not know the whole battle process, and after listening to the speeches of Zhong Sun Qi, Ling Feng, and A Ran Shi Qimo, Gao Yuan has a detailed understanding of the entire battle. In last night's battle, the Dai army was able to easily defeat the Hun army, on the one hand, it shows that the military discipline of the Dai army is strict, and it does not relax its vigilance in the dark night, on the other hand, it also shows that these arrangements in the early stage are indeed effective, but the Hun army has obviously approached the camp of the Dai army, and the two sides have played a game of hide and seek on the grassland for more than ten days, and it is finally time for the final decisive battle.
