Cultivation in the starry sky

Chapter 477 Sun Jian's Calculation

"How are you doing these days?"

Xiao Ziyu hadn't been at Sishui Pass these days, and now that he had reminded Hua Xiong, his head wouldn't be hot anymore.

So it is obviously impossible to break through Sishui Pass with Sun Jian's tens of thousands of troops alone.So he didn't spend much time on the top of the city of Sishui Pass.

In the past few days, he has been gathering craftsmen. In this mythical world, people's abilities have been magnified a lot, but those machines don't seem to have the slightest development.

Not much different from the historical plane.Of course, there are also some awesome machines, such as the Gangbang Crossbow, which is specially built to deal with those awesome generals.

This kind of crossbow is very powerful, even if it is a first-class military general, if his internal energy is turned into a wall, if he is shot in the front by this crossbow, he can still shoot through it.

However, the materials used to make this Gangbang crossbow are too precious, and they are all top-notch materials, which cannot be made by ordinary iron.

When Xiao Ziyu saw those materials, they were definitely the raw materials for refining magic weapons.However, this kind of material is scarce, and because of this, even in the entire Xiliang army, there are only a few of them.

Of course, Xiao Ziyu didn't really pay much attention to this kind of crossbow. When he was in Tianwu Continent, he had seen it all in the camp of Xiao Zhan, the King of Zhenbei. It was almost the same, but one was to deal with those strong men in the rivers and lakes. .

One is to deal with the top generals.

Xiao Ziyu has been busy these days with two things, one is making saddles and horseshoes for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, these two things are great things.

The role of the horseshoe is still very large. The horse's hoof is composed of two layers. The layer in contact with the ground is a layer of hard cutin about 2-3 cm thick, and the upper layer is living cutin.

The horseshoe is in contact with the ground, and it will fall off quickly due to the friction of the ground and the corrosion of accumulated water. The main purpose of nailing the horseshoe is to delay the wear of the horseshoe.

The use of horseshoes not only protects the horseshoe, but also makes the horseshoe grip the ground more firmly, which is beneficial to riding and driving.

For Xiliang's iron cavalry, the horseshoe increased their impact. The original Xiliang iron cavalry relied on impact to completely defeat their opponents.

Now that those war horses are equipped with horseshoes, the impact of these war horses has definitely increased a bit, or even doubled.

As for the role of the saddle is even greater.

The Han people in the Central Plains didn’t think about those alien races on the prairie. The other party was a race that lived on horseback. The Han people in the Central Plains needed training to become cavalry, but even so, they were definitely not as good as those alien races.

But with this saddle, it is different. With the saddle, the Han people can also free their hands. At that time, riding and shooting will not be the "skills" of those foreign races.

And with the saddle, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry in the Central Plains will definitely increase greatly, and the iron cavalry in Xiliang will become even more ferocious.

In addition to saddles and horseshoes, what Xiao Ziyu asked the craftsmen to make was the crossbow, a kind of god-armed crossbow from the later Song Dynasty.

This kind of crossbow was a weapon specially used by the Song Dynasty to deal with Liao cavalry.

After his improvement, this sharp weapon has become a super god arm crossbow that can be fired repeatedly, and its power is absolutely awesome.

"Very good. A few days ago, Sun Jian had a very strong attack, but these two days, for some reason, the opponent stopped attacking."

"Oh! Did you send someone to check?"

Xiao Ziyu was also taken aback when he heard this.

"I have already gone, and I should probably come back now." Hua Xiong nodded.

"Report~"

"Huh! Haha! When we talk about it, we will arrive." Xiao Ziyu laughed immediately when he heard it.

"Come in!" Hua Xiong also grinned, and then said to the door.Then a soldier walked in.

"General, sir"

When the soldiers came in, they immediately saluted Xiao Ziyu and the others.

"Okay, tell me, what did you find?" Hua Xiong asked.

"General Cavalry, after two days of investigation, we found that the enemy army seems to be short of food and grass. At this moment, the enemy army camp is making food noise."

"Lack of food and grass, food trouble? Are you sure?"

Hua Xiong was surprised when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed.

"Okay, we also discovered that the enemy camp also dealt with some leaders," the soldier said with affirmation.

"That's it! You go down first!" Hua Xiong waved his hand, telling him to leave.

And Xiao Ziyu was also lost in thought at the moment.He remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there seemed to be a record that when Sun Jian attacked Sishuiguan, he was about to succeed, but he was cut off from food in the end.

In the end, it fell short, and Hua Xiong counterattacked. In the end, he suffered heavy losses, and then he returned to the alliance and made a big fuss, causing the entire coalition army to lose their minds.

If this is the case, then they can use this to fight back.

So Xiao Ziyu looked up and found that Hua Xiong was also excited at the moment, obviously he also thought of something.

"Sir, look at the enemy's food shortage at this moment. This is the best time for us to send troops. Why don't I lead my troops to surprise them now?"

Hua Xiong said quickly.

"Well! Zijian might as well wait a little longer, let me observe, and then make plans?"

Although he thought it was a good time, Xiao Ziyu continued to think about it. He thought that Sun Jian was not a simple character.

Even if his army is short of food, he will not let his army fall into such a level of food trouble, and he will be scouted out, and he knows that there is already a shortage of food, so why don't he leave quickly?"

"Isn't these two days the best time to leave?"

So after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Ziyu found that there was a conspiracy in it, so he suggested aloud, still Hua Xiong wait, this time he has to go and see for himself.

"Well! Then trouble Mr. Ziyu." Hearing what Xiao Ziyu said, Hua Xiong didn't object, so he nodded.

Just do what you say, Xiao Ziyu said hello to Hua Xiong, and immediately flew out of Sishui Pass, and then secretly headed towards Sun Jian's barracks.

······
"Hmph! Sure enough, Sun Jian is scheming," Xiao Ziyu came not far from Sun Jian's barracks, and immediately discovered the difference in his barracks.

Although there were indeed some restless soldiers on the outermost periphery, in Xiao Ziyu's consciousness, these people were not real soldiers at all, but more like civilian husbands.

And his spiritual sense also discovered that Sun Jian's real elites were still cultivating well there.

Seeing this, Xiao Ziyu fully understood that all this was probably deliberately designed by Sun Jian, just to let Hua Xiong get in.

"Hey! There is still an army!"

Suddenly Xiao Ziyu discovered that a large army was hidden in a valley three miles away from Sun Jian's camp, and this valley seemed to have been specially arranged.

Ordinary people, even if they come here, will not find the army inside.

Xiao Ziyu knew that this was a psychedelic method, and ordinary counselors would use this method.Of course, there are strengths and weaknesses in arranging this method.

If it is arranged like those top strategists, even those top generals may not be able to find it.

But some low-level strategists, their methods are still very clumsy, such as the one in front of them.

According to Xiao Ziyu's estimate, if Hua Xiong came, he would definitely be able to find it.

But these are not the main thing, the main thing is that there is a large army hidden here, which is associated with Sun Jian's design.

Xiao Ziyu immediately understood that they wanted to attack Huaxiong from front to back, and then take Sishuiguan in one fell swoop.

"Hehe! It's a good plan, but it's a pity that you met me"

Xiao Ziyu looked at the valley and smiled coldly.
