Da Qin: From a disciple of Fusu to a generation of imperial masters

Chapter 192 "Zhuge Liannu", a crossbow that can be used by cavalry appears! Fusu and Xiao He were shocked!

Fusu's face turned serious when he heard the teacher mention the three-piece harness set: "The Mo family has already created the first batch of three-piece harness sets."

"Prime Minister Li Si has arranged for the first batch of three-piece harness sets to be transported to the border."

"Counting the days, I think the three-piece harness set will be delivered to General Meng Tian in the next few days."

When Fusu said this, there was a hint of emotion on his face: "It's a pity that students can't go to the border now."

"Students really want to see the cavalry under General Meng Tian wearing a three-piece harness and fighting with the Huns cavalry."

"The Qin cavalry defeated the Xiongnu cavalry and fled."

Fusu has always been interested in three-piece harness sets, but now he is facing many things.

If they go to the border, people like Hu Hai and Zhao Gao will definitely do something.

Every time Fusu thought about this, he would feel a little regretful that he could not go to the border to encourage the soldiers.

Xiao He on the side nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words. Although he was also a civil servant.

He had also fantasized about going to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and he could understand how Mr. Fusu felt.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words: "When the young master stabilizes, he will naturally have the opportunity to go to the border to encourage soldiers."

"Young Master still needs to keep his spirits up now. Young Master still has strong enemies in Xianyang City."

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and reminded him.

"With the help of teachers during this period, my father and many ministers in the court are very satisfied with the students."

"But students know that people like Hu Hai are still secretly looking for opportunities to persecute students."

"Teacher, don't worry, students never let down their guard."

Fusu looked serious and looked at Lin Xuan to explain.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words. He believed that Fusu was not the kind of person who was complacent and overly proud.

He just reminded him. Lin Xuan glanced at the two pieces of paper on the stone table.

He looked at Fusu and said, "Sir, what weapons do the soldiers of Great Qin use in battle?"

Fusu and Xiao He were stunned for a moment when they heard Lin Xuan's words, and they looked at each other with a trace of doubt in their eyes.

They didn't understand why Lin Xuan suddenly mentioned the weapons of Da Qin soldiers, and Fusu didn't understand why the teacher asked this.

Still hurriedly said: "The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty fight. The weapons used by the infantry are bronze swords and halberds, and the weapons used by the cavalry are spears."

"In addition to infantry and cavalry, there are also archers and shield soldiers."

"The shield soldier holds a shield in one hand and a spear in the other. The archer soldier holds a crossbow and shoots arrows from a distance to attack the enemy."

"The soldiers of Da Qin generally have these types of arms and weapons. This is not only true of Da Qin but also of the other six countries."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and told him what he knew.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words. What Fusu said was pretty much what he expected.

"Teacher, you asked students about weapons. Are there any things you want to ask students to do?"

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and asked with a trace of doubt on his face.

Lin Xuan smiled when he heard Fusu's words and said, "Young master just mentioned archers."

"I would like to know how the archers of Great Qin used crossbows to kill enemies on the battlefield?"

"Do the soldiers on the border also have archers?"

Fusu heard the teacher Lin Xuan's question and said quickly: "The archers of Great Qin mostly attack the enemy at the beginning of the battle."

"The purpose is to suppress the enemy's momentum and make the enemy troops panic."

"As for killing enemies, the enemies also have shield soldiers. It is difficult to kill a large number of enemies."

"There are also archers on the border. The role of the archers on the border is to bring Xiongnu soldiers under the city wall."

"Archers shoot bows and arrows to cause damage to the enemy, but most of the Huns are cavalry." "The speed is extremely fast, and it is difficult for the archers to cause a large number of kills to the Huns cavalry. The more important effect is to force the enemy back."

When Fusu said this, there was a hint of helplessness on his face.

The Huns cavalry have always been excellent in equestrian skills, and the horses they ride on are of a fine breed and can run extremely fast.

When Da Qin's cavalry encounters such cavalry, it is very difficult to kill a large number of enemies. The main function is to force the enemy back.

These situations that Fusu knew were also told to him by Meng Yi in private.

He still remembered the helpless look on Meng Yi's face when he told him these situations.

Xiao He on the side also sighed when he heard Fusu's words.

He also heard about these situations when he was in Peixian County.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words and continued: "I already understand the situation of the archers."

"Sir, are Da Qin's cavalry equipped with crossbows?"

Fusu was stunned for a moment when he heard Lin Xuan's words, and quickly reacted and said with a wry smile on his face:

"What the teacher doesn't know is that every time a crossbow shoots an arrow, you need to pick up a new bow and shoot again."

"The most important thing in cavalry combat is speed. It will take a lot of time to pick up a new bow and arrow after shooting the bow and arrow with a crossbow while riding a war horse."

"This is very fatal to the cavalry. The enemy's cavalry is likely to use this gap to launch an attack."

"So Da Qin's cavalry will not be equipped with crossbows."

"To be precise, Da Qin's soldiers, except for archers, are not equipped with crossbows."

Fusu looked at Lin Xuan and told the specific situation.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words, picked up a piece of paper on the stone table and placed it in front of Fusu and Xiao He:

"Brother Xiao He, you two, look at the pattern on this paper."

When Fusu and Xiao He heard Lin Xuan's words, they looked at the paper in front of them.

They saw some patterns drawn on the paper, and the two were stunned when they looked at the patterns on the paper.

After a while, the two of them came to their senses. Xiao He frowned and looked at Lin Xuandao:
"I guessed it right. The pattern drawn on this paper is related to the crossbow."

Fusu nodded slightly when he heard Xiao He's words, looked at Lin Xuan and said, "The pattern on the paper does seem to be related to the crossbow."

"It's just that the crossbow on the pattern is completely different from the crossbows students have seen."

Lin Xuan had a smile on his face when he heard what the two said, and said, "Young Master and Brother Xiao He guessed right."

"The pattern drawn on this paper is indeed a crossbow. I call it Zhuge Liannu!"

"Zhuge Liannu? This is the first time for students to hear this name."

"It's the same below."

Fusu and Xiao He had a look of doubt on their faces when they heard Lin Xuan mention Zhuge Liannu.

This was the first time for both of them to hear such a name.

"Teacher, what is the difference between the Zhuge Liannu you mentioned and the crossbows used by the archers of the Qin Dynasty?"

Fusu looked at the paper in front of him, looking at Lin Xuan's question with a trace of doubt on his face.

Xiao He nodded slightly when he heard Fusu's words and looked at Lin Xuan.

He was also curious about what was so special about Zhuge Liannu that Lin Xuan mentioned.

Lin Xuan looked at Fusu and Xiao He and said, "The biggest difference between Zhuge's serial crossbow and the crossbow used by archers is this."

"Ordinary crossbows are not suitable for cavalry to use, but the Zhuge Liannu can be used by cavalry in combat."

Fusu and Xiao He stood up and changed their expressions when they heard Lin Xuan's words. This was the first time they heard about the crossbows that cavalry could use.
