" Your Highness, the Tartars 'camp is empty. There are abandoned rations and supplies everywhere. Even the tents have been confiscated…"
"Your Highness, the stove is still burning. Benyashili must not have gone far.”
Chase? The other party had fifty to sixty thousand cavalrymen. Wouldn't they be piled up to death if they chased after them now?
"What are you chasing? Hurry up and eat. The Tartars have already prepared it for us. Don't waste it!”
The four leaders glanced around. This was food for hundreds of thousands of people. They really couldn't eat it.
"Your Highness, there's too much. Our brothers won't be able to finish it…"
"Who told you to finish eating? Just pick up the meat and fill your stomachs. The rest of the noodles can be fed to the horses. We still have a lot of time to run.”
"Yes, sir!"
……
From the very beginning, Zhu Zhanji had no intention of confronting the Tartars directly. Firstly, there were too few of them, and secondly, they were not professional enough.
As a person who had been baptized by all kinds of anti-war dramas in the future, guerrilla warfare was still quite experienced! Zhu Zhanji wouldn't let the Tartars sleep! Hehehe ~
……
"Master, the Tartars have driven away the cattle and sheep, and there isn't much food left. The tents and wagons have all been abandoned here, and there are also large amounts of gold, silver, and jewelry! This servant has tidied everything up!"
Zhu Zhanji came to the place where the gold and silver were piled up and muttered,""Recharge!"
Ding!" Congratulations to the host for charging 1,212,140 taels of silver. Your current balance is 1,217,100 taels of silver."
The Tartar Khan was really poor. A Prime Minister had a million taels of silver, but a Khan in Benyashili only had 1.2 million taels of silver?
"Bah! Poor bastard!"
It would be great if these supplies could also be recycled. Unfortunately, the system only ate valuable items. It was really pretentious.
"System, bestow the guard with the Danger Perception talent!”
Ding! This time, 121 guards have been strengthened. 1,210,000 taels of silver have been deducted. Your current wealth is 7100 taels of silver!
Ding ~ The subordinate gift has been completed. Spider Danger Perception 20%(195 people)
It was simply a gold-devouring beast. In the future, it would be better to strengthen the regular troops. Cultivating all-rounded soldiers was too expensive!
……
"Your Highness, this subordinate found something good?”Tie Ping reported.
Zhu Zhanji curiously looked at the long wooden pole in Tie Ping's hand."What is this?"
"Your Highness, the hardness and toughness of these wooden poles are much stronger than white wax poles?" Tie Ping explained. Whether it was used to make a spear or a bow, it was the most suitable. Moreover, it was soaked in tung oil! It can be used directly!"
"Where did you find it?"
"This subordinate tore down Benyashili's tent, and many of the generals 'tents were made of this!”
"Have you seen this kind of wood before?”
"Never. If I had known earlier, I would have used it as a weapon! Now that there was a ready-made bowstring, the grassland barbarians were really wasting a heavenly treasure!”
Zhu Zhanji thought of something else. This kind of wood should not be produced in the grasslands, and it was not common in the Central Plains. Otherwise, with the wisdom of the people, they would have used it long ago. Could it be that Ben Yashili brought it from the west?
Benyashri had grown up in the Timur Empire. The fact that he was recognized by the four Khaganates had a lot to do with his experience growing up in the Timur Empire!
After all, the bloodline of the Gold Family was never lacking! Back when Timur was alive, he had beaten the Four Khaganates into submission.
Then these materials were most likely brought from the west by Benyashri! He really wanted to see what Samarkand City looked like now.
"Divide the wood and cut it according to each person's height to make longbows!”
"Your Highness, a bow that is the length of a person is very inconvenient to pull. If the arm is not long enough, it will not be difficult to bow the back!”
Zhu Zhanji explained," The arc should be smaller. Just leave one or two palms wide between the bow and the bowstring!"”
Tie Ping was enlightened." That's right. The tenacity and hardness of this wood are very good. It's even stronger than white wax poles. There's definitely no problem!"”
"Pass down the orders!"
……
Zhu Zhanji was actually referring to the Scottish longbow!
In the Battle of Agincourt, Henry V used 5000 longbowmen to defeat 36000 of France's most elite cavalry and infantry, killing 18000 people and 5000 nobles. Henry V had less than 300 casualties.
The Scottish longbow was faster and more penetrating than other long-range weapons of the same era.
Longbows were superior to crossbows on the battlefield mainly because of their fast firing speed. In terms of firepower density, the combat effectiveness of a longbow was at least equivalent to three crossbowmen. A qualified archer could accurately shoot 12 arrows in a minute. If the arrows were fired at the same time, the shooting speed could be increased to 15 arrows, and some abnormal archers could even shoot 20 arrows.
The Scottish longbow had a long range and strong penetration.
The effective killing range was close to 400 meters, far exceeding the range of 150 to 180 meters of ordinary horn bows.
Most importantly, it was cheap, simple, and fast!
The current firearms were cumbersome to make. They had a short range, slow firing speed, low lethality, and were afraid of water. Once it rained, they would be useless!
Now that he had these longbows, the strength and endurance of the guards, as well as the double boost of the warhorses, Zhu Zhanji was confident that he could kite Benyashili's army on the grasslands!
