Chapter 646 We are clearing the old-style crossbow
Outside Dongji Harbor, warships are like clouds.
The Han army and the Mali Navy united here.
Outside the port, the infantry led by Su Lu also surrounded Dongji Port from the north.
In order to show off his power this time, Su Lu personally led the army.
Several cavalrymen came over surrounded by a quick man.
"Your Majesty, a quickie is here to deliver the book."
The captain of the cavalry army reported this to Su Lu.
Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for them to take it.
Facing the captain's outstretched hand, Mari curled his lips in disdain and refused the captain's request for the documents.
The captain was a little embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know how to face this envoy from a foreign country. After all, he was a Westerner. Not to mention his tall nose and big eyes, his ship was bigger than ours, his military power seemed to be stronger than ours, and his life was also better than ours.
Hello to us.
Su Lu frowned slightly and ordered Lu Zhan next to him:
"It's so slow to get a document, but if he doesn't give it to you, won't you rob it?"
Lu Zhan doesn't care whether he is a Mari or a Taixi. The prince's order is God. Whatever the prince says, just go and grab it.
Riding over on horseback, Lu Zhan arrived in front of the Mali people and gave the cavalry captain a slap in the face:
"You six, you can't even get a document from him. This is our Han army's main formation, so you don't have to worry about him being a quick guy."
"Snapped"
Lu Zhan waved his whip and rolled up the documents in Mali's hand.
His face was full of evil spirits, he glanced at Maliren, and his tone was cold:
"Be smart and keep your mouth shut if you don't want to die."
Marshall, the quick messenger, swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Seeing that Lu Zhan had taken away the documents, and then looking at the few Han army sergeants around him, Marshall suppressed the anger in his heart. The Han army general was right. He was now in the Han army, and he was seeking death like this.
Really will die.
After taking a look at the expressions of the several sergeants around him, especially the cavalry colonel, Marshall thought something was going to happen when he saw the twinkling look in the colonel's eyes.
Because of the whip just now, these guys' attitude towards me seems to have changed, which is not a good thing.
The next moment, Marshall saw the Han army dispatching from both sides of the formation. Two cavalry troops advanced. Several old-fashioned birds were dragged and appeared in the formation. Then the sergeants turned left and right around the birds, doing battle.
preparation before.
Old flying bird.
Marshall had a certain understanding of the strength of the Han army and felt a little disdainful.
I don't understand why Shantes pushed the Han army's strength so high in his military strength assessment. With such old birds, the Han army's strength would not be that strong at all.
The next moment, the bird flapped its wings and slowly flew into the sky like a staggering old man.
Marshall's disdain for the strength of the Han army became even more intense.
What can such a flying bird do in the sky? Apart from shooting a few arrows, it probably can't do anything.
One, two, three, three old birds flew into the sky one after another, constantly rising to heights.
Marshall looked at the soaring bird and couldn't help but feel worried for the Han army that was controlling it. Damn it, if it exceeded the flying height of this kind of bird, it would fall and kill someone.
We are all allies in the attack on Yingte, so it is best to give a warning.
With this thought in mind, Marshall was about to speak to remind the captain next to him when he was shocked to find that there was no sergeant around him.
Twenty steps away, the Han army was retreating in an orderly manner.
what's the situation?
Marshall's face was full of astonishment and surprise. What was going on? Why did the Han army suddenly withdraw? Didn't they already follow our request and prepare to attack the British camp?
No, there is something fishy about the birds flying in the sky.
Marshall thought of what happened after his flying bird dropped the powerful crossbow, and decisively urged his horse forward to pursue the Han army.
I don't want to die.
As soon as he rushed into the Han army's main formation, Marshall heard the sound of arrows piercing the air as the crossbows were fired from behind.
Turning around, he saw half of the Yingte camp collapsed in an instant under the rain of arrows.
"Why didn't you tell me to run away together?"
Marshall angrily pointed at the cavalry colonel. If he hadn't been alert just now, he would have been shot to death. Look, where he was standing just now, there was a dense cluster of arrows.
If he hadn't moved just now, he would have become a hedgehog now.
The captain of the cavalry army ignored him. You are not my subordinate. You will die if you die.
Marshall looked at the captain's disdainful eyes and felt angry, but he didn't dare to make any more noise.
Although the Han army's flying birds are old and worn-out, their strong crossbows are very powerful and can be compared with their own strong crossbows.
Marshall thought this and felt a little regretful for his arrogance just now.
Shantes was right when he said that the strength of the Han army was almost the same as that of his own army.
My arrogance when I submitted the paperwork just now seems to have offended the coach, which is a bit bad.
"I would like to see the commander of your army."
Marshall lowered his stance and asked the cavalry colonel.
The captain of the cavalry army glanced at him and turned his horse towards the central army.
After a while, the returning cavalry captain extended his hand to him and said, "Your Majesty promised to see you, let's go."
Under the guidance of the cavalry colonel, Marshall arrived at the central army and saw Su Lu who was looking at the birds in the sky.
"Foreign Minister Marshall has met the prince."
Su Lu looked at Marshall with a respectful expression, and then thought about his arrogance when he first arrived, and couldn't help but shook his head:
"General Marshall, your name reminds me of a late general from your country."
Marshall laughed when he heard this and said respectfully:
"The prince is well-informed and his foreign ministers admire him."
"My general's document requires the prince to send troops to attack the Yingte camp, but it does not ask the prince to send out strong crossbows. Why does the prince send out strong crossbows? It is unnecessary."
Su Lu looked at Marshall and said with a smile:
"Yes, why use a crossbow?"
"However, you have no shame in asking me this question."
Gao Dabao, who was next to him, rushed out and slapped Marshall across the face. Several guards also gathered around him:
"How brave you are to scold the prince."
"Since you are a foreign minister, I will spare your life."
Marshall, who was stunned by the beating, looked stunned and covered his face. He looked at the Su Lu guards who took action at any disagreement and felt a little annoyed. Are all Han troops so barbaric?
Su Lu shouted back at Gao Dabao, "General Marshall, our country of Han has recently made a new type of crossbow, which is more powerful than the current standard crossbow, and will be ready for military service soon."
"These crossbows and flying birds will soon become old flying birds and strong crossbows. If they are not consumed quickly, they will soon become useless waste."
One word immediately came to Marshall's mind: Clear inventory.
Every time before its own army updates and installs new weapons, it will also attack small neighboring countries, firstly to train troops, secondly to open up territory and expand territory, and importantly, to clear inventory.
But the crossbow has always been the lowest-ranked weapon.
The Han army has already pulled out the powerful crossbows and cleared the inventory?
Looking at the bird that was still climbing unsteadily, Marshall became even more worried. He had no longer used this kind of old bird. The Han army was really clearing out its inventory.
