Li Shushi stayed at Xihe Karasuma for five days in total. On the one hand, he took the opportunity to understand the opponent's tactical level, customs, culture, and economic structure. At the same time, he also allowed his soldiers to communicate with the opponent more. After all, no matter how they are assimilated by Han culture
, the current Xihe Karasuma is still a typical horseback tribe, and their familiarity with horses is absolutely first-class.
Of course, while studying, he will also show off his own muscles. After all, Xihe Karasuma is still a grassland tribe, so he is still willing to pursue the concept of "respecting the strong". Even if he does not want to find an overly strong ally because of the development of the tribe, if his own side
If you are too weak, you will still be looked down upon and may even make the other party have bad thoughts.
If Xihe can develop for a sufficient period of time, then Li Shushi would not mind purging the restless guys and purifying his team, but at this moment, starting a fire in the backyard is not a good idea.
So when Li Shushi led Su Xiaoluoli back and forth in the tents in Xihe Karasuma, all Li Shushi's men, including Dian Wei and Xu Chu, as well as Li Gan, who was captured as a translator, all participated in Xihe Karasuma.
They were involved in various daily herding and hunting activities, but due to occupational restrictions, they were basically unable to help.
Yes, it has been confirmed that although the Karasuma nation has only two physical professions, namely Karasuma Cavalry and Karasuma Archer, these two professions can be used both near and far, but there are some differences in the growth of each ability.
, but mounted archery and mounted slashing are attack methods that both professions are very proficient in. In particular, mounted archery is a technique that one must be familiar with from an early age.
As several senior generals later told Li Shushi in private exchanges, those Wuwan men were riding horses, and each of them bent their bows and aimed arrows at the clumps of dry grass that kept shaking, and among them
They are prey that have been awakened. Although these prey try again and again to escape from the surrounding snare, the results are obvious.
"Is it necessary to shoot arrows? These poor creatures have already fallen into the trap. You must have a more convenient way to get these prey." Zhao Yun once asked the Karasuma herdsman who directed the hunt for prey. The commander
At that time, the reporter also drew an arrow from his back and locked eyes on various unusual movements in the grass with a serious expression.
"Lovely Han people, don't think that we are too cruel. This is a kind of practice. Our ancestors have continued this training for hundreds of years, which makes each of us become
The best shooter."
The other party answered Zhao Yun's question while being alert, and seemed to feel that the situation in front of him did not require him to pay too much attention for the time being. He glanced at the huge iron bow in Zhao Yun's hand and said with some disapproval.
"As a Han Chinese, your archery skills are quite good, but I can guarantee that as long as you ride a horse, any child over ten years old in the tribe will definitely be able to defeat you in actual combat."
"Yes, even a girl can win, because we have been training archery skills like this since childhood. For us, your bow is too long. Although it is indeed very powerful, it is not suitable for immediate use." Another one.
A rider interjected.
"Do you want to try it?" The other party handed over a pot of arrows.
"No need, I believe everything you say." Of course, even though Zhao Yun said this, no one would think that he is a coward. Because as the leader said, if it is just a comparison of step shooting skills, even if
Whether it is a moving target, Zhao Yun or Xu Huang can be regarded as a handful.
A good player, he can be ranked among the top ten in Xihe Karasuma, but when riding a horse, although the bumps of the horse are not a big problem for Zhao Yun, who has an archer as a secondary profession, in terms of shooting speed, Zhao Yun
The iron bow is not inferior to the riding bow in the hands of the Karasuma people.
What Zhao Yun knows even more is that Li Shushi has secretly reached an agreement with the Bone Tower to exchange the Karasuma people's riding bows for the Han people's iron armor and iron weapons. Although the number will not be too much for some reasons, considering a qualified
The production cycle of the riding bow takes up to three years to take shape. Li Shushi, who was short of time, could only
It is possible to purchase weapons first to quickly form combat effectiveness, and then carry out independent research and development of weapons that is time-consuming and labor-intensive but is necessary for a strong army. Since Li Shushi can spend so much money, if the riding bow is not worth the price, then Li Shushi will suffer a big loss.
Well, Zhao Yun still agrees with Li Shushi's "businessman" attributes.
In fact, Zhao Yun secretly admired the archery skills of these grassland people. What surprised him was that these people could shoot arrows so fast, as if they didn't need to aim at all.
Of course, what surprised him even more was that no one pulled the bow string fully. At most, they shot the arrow halfway, and they actually held the bow string with their thumbs. Because Zhao Yun himself had tried it in private, even though
He had been immersed in the art of bow and arrow for many years, but that method still made him feel extremely awkward.
"You're not used to it. Our bows are very stiff, and we need to shoot the arrow as fast as possible. If we use your method of clasping the string, our fingers will have already separated from the palm."
According to Li Shushi's request, if you don't know a place, you can ask the familiar Karasuma people for advice. Anyway, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others have been recognized by the Karasuma tribe, and have formed solid friendships with many people, and through communication
No one would doubt the banner of martial arts, because if the merits of archery were put aside and martial arts alone were tested, Zhao Yun and others would be enough to defeat the entire Karasuma tribe.
It is precisely because of this that Wuwanren answered Zhao Yun's question very enthusiastically, and the other party even raised his thumb enthusiastically, letting Zhao Yun look at the leather finger guard on his thumb. Although it was due to long-term use of leather,
The finger guard has long been worn and tattered, but its protective effect on the thumb is also obvious.
"You don't seem to have fully drawn the bow string, is it to shoot the arrow faster?" Zhao Yun has always been a good boy who is not ashamed to ask questions.
"No, this is to make the hand more stable, and also to prevent the arrow from hitting the soil too deeply. After all, except for the best archers, ordinary people in our tribe cannot achieve perfect results. And the arrow is too difficult for us.
It is precious, and every arrow must be cherished, even if its arrowheads are ground from animal bones that are relatively abundant on the grassland."
The other party's answer was told to Li Shushi by Zhao Yun, because it was another important piece of information that proved the other party's living and combat costs, and the other party's solemn expression at that time obviously was not deceiving Zhao Yun.
Of course, Li Shushi and Su Xiaoluoli didn't just go into the tent. At least Li Shushi discovered that in addition to the shaman, the grassland tribe also had another legal profession, that is, the witch doctor.
If shamans are somewhat similar to a mixture of strategists and Taoist priests, then witch doctors are similar to a mixture of Feng Shui priests and Taoist priests. They are constantly studying all kinds of strange witchcraft, as well as medical techniques to cure diseases and save people, and at the same time also
Research poisons that can destroy animals and can definitely destroy humans, who are advanced primates.
Although the witchcraft of the witchdoctors of the northern grassland people is not as good as those of the southern witchdoctors in the southern subtropical rainforests, they are generally born with higher potential for force than their counterparts. Therefore, after thousands of years, according to them, they have become the same as those of the southern witchdoctors of the Han Dynasty.
There are some differences between those guys. Is it as big as the difference between strategists and cavalry? Li Shushi is a little curious about this.
Speaking of the profession of witch doctor, it is still more inclined to Taoist priests, and the same goes for shamans. After all, the north is Xuanwu's territory, and Xuanwu's influence here is quite huge.
Of course, the above explanation is purely based on Li Shushi's personal opinion. In fact, the research methods of witch doctors are indeed very similar to those of Taoist priests.
Although the Feng Shui warrior class is significantly more efficient than the Taoist profession in terms of its ability to restore the life of warriors in combat due to its rich skills, it is limited to the restoration of vitality. As for what causes headaches and brain fever ~ Qihuang's Technique
~Internal and external gynecology~ Taoist priests are more professional.
Because although we have mastered a large number of vitality-restoring spells, the essence of the spells is actually the same as military rations such as restoration beans and restoration rice. They use a certain method to attach the vitality free in the air to a certain substance and transfer it to
Those who need it, it's just that the attachment carrier of the spell is spiritual power, while the attachment carrier of military ration is civilian food.
The Taoist priests are different. Just like alchemists and doctors, they pursue the mystery of the origin of things. Although most of the methods they use are still immature and rough in the eyes of Li Shushi, a guy from the Steel Forest, but even Li Shushi
It cannot be denied that they have a heart to explore the truth and behave like Frankenstein to a certain extent.
Yes, one of the most outstanding representatives here is the craziest guy Li Shushi has ever seen, the outstanding scientific madman of the Han Dynasty, the late leader of the opposition party caucus and religious group - Comrade Zhang Jiao.
However, although the witch doctors have a high spirit of exploration, due to the lack of inheritance, their efforts are sometimes not as convenient and quick as Su Xiaoluo's understatement of awakening. But what stunned Li Shushi was that the knowledgeable Su Xiaoluo
Li was also involved in the art of Qihuang. In just a few days, she convinced all the people in the Karasuma tribe who were said to be the most knowledgeable and intelligent. Under their leadership, the Karasuma people almost said goodbye to them.
At this time, there was a performance of "Send off the Prime Minister on a ten-mile long street".
Of course, Li Shushi's good mood almost ended here. Although he sent dozens of people to escort him on his way back to Lishi because there was no cargo to hinder Karasuma, but when he returned to Lishi City, another
The two caravans have been back for many days, and everything has been smooth sailing, except that they were attacked by some wild beasts that were short of food.
"It seems like some people in Lishi City should go build a tomb in the wilderness!"
At Li Shicheng's internal meeting, Li Shushi gritted his teeth and said to several senior executives of Li Shicheng.
