Xiao Ziyu has not been at Bishui Pass in the past few days. Now with his reminder, Hua Xiong will not have a fever in his head.
Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Sun Jian's tens of thousands of troops to break through Sishui Pass alone. Therefore, he did not spend more time on the top of the city of Sishui Pass.
He has been gathering craftsmen these past few days. In this mythical world, human abilities have been greatly magnified, but the machines seem to have not developed at all.
It is not much different from the historical plane. Of course, there are also some more powerful machines, such as the Pogang Crossbow. This thing is specially built to deal with those powerful generals.
This type of PoGang Crossbow is so powerful that even a top-notch general can penetrate the wall if he is hit in the front by the PoGang Crossbow.
However, the materials used to make this kind of broken crossbow are too precious. They are all top-notch materials and cannot be made from ordinary iron.
Xiao Ziyu saw that those materials were definitely raw materials for refining magic weapons. However, this kind of materials was rare, and because of this, there were only a few Pogangnu in the entire Xiliang army.
Of course, Xiao Ziyu didn't actually pay much attention to this kind of broken crossbow. When he was in Tianwu Continent, he had seen them in the military camp of Xiao Zhan, the king of Zhenbei. They were almost the same, but one was used to deal with the strong men in the world.
.
One is for dealing with top military generals.
Xiao Ziyu has been busy with two things these days. One is making saddles and horseshoes for the Xiliang cavalry. These two items are great things.
The role of horseshoes is still very great. The horse's hoof is composed of two layers. The layer that is in contact with the ground is a layer of hard cutin about 2-3 cm thick, and the upper layer is ** cutin.
Horseshoes are in contact with the ground, and will fall off quickly due to friction on the ground and corrosion from accumulated water. The purpose of nailing horseshoes is mainly to delay the wear of horseshoes.
The use of horseshoes not only protects the horseshoes, but also makes the horseshoes grip the ground more firmly, which is beneficial to riding and driving.
For Xiliang's cavalry, horseshoes increased their impact. Originally, Xiliang's 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 saddle, its role is even greater.
The Han people in the Central Plains do not want those alien races on the grasslands, who live on horseback. If the Han people in the Central Plains want to become cavalry, they need training, but even so, they are definitely still inferior to those alien races.
But with this saddle, it's different. With the saddle, the Han people can have their hands free. By then, riding and archery will no longer be the 'skills' of those foreign races.
And with the saddle, the combat effectiveness of the Central Plains cavalry will definitely be greatly increased. When the time comes, the Xiliang cavalry will become even more fierce.
In addition to saddles and horseshoes, Xiao Ziyu also asked craftsmen to build a crossbow, a kind of divine arm crossbow from the later Song Dynasty.
This kind of crossbow was a weapon specially used by the Song Dynasty to deal with the Liao cavalry.
After his improvement, this sharp weapon became a super divine arm crossbow that could fire continuously, and its power was absolutely incredible.
"Very good. Sun Jian's attack was very strong in the past few days, but in the past two days, for some reason, the opponent stopped attacking."
"Oh! Did you send someone to check?"
Xiao Ziyu was also stunned when he heard this.
"I've already gone, and I should probably be back now." Hua Xiong nodded.
"Report~"
"Yeah! Haha! That's it!" 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"
The soldiers came in and immediately saluted Xiao Ziyu and the others.
"Okay, tell me, what have you found?" Hua Xiong asked.
"General Cavalry, after two days of investigation, we found that the enemy seems to be short of food and grass. At this moment, the enemy's military camp is struggling for food."
"Lack of food and grass, trouble with food? Are you sure?"
Hua Xiong was surprised when he heard this, and then he was happy.
"Sure, we also discovered that the enemy camp also dealt with some of the leaders," the soldier said with certainty.
"That's it! You go down first!" Hua Xiong waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Xiao Ziyu was also deep in thought at this moment. He remembered that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there seemed to be a record that when Sun Jian attacked Sishui Pass, he was about to succeed, but he was deprived of food.
In the end, they fell short, and were counterattacked by Hua Xiong. In the end, they suffered heavy losses, and then they returned to the alliance and made a big fuss, which made the entire alliance army feel disorganized.
If this is really the case, then they can use this to fight back.
So Xiao Ziyu looked up and found that Hua Xiong was also excited at this moment. Apparently he had thought of something.
"Sir, you see the enemy is in a food shortage right now. This is the best time for us to send troops. Why don't I lead my troops to raid them now?"
Hua Xiong said quickly.
"Well! How about Zijian waiting a little longer and letting me observe it before making any plans?"
Although he thought this was a good time, Xiao Ziyu continued to think about it, and he realized that Sun Jian was not a simple person.
Even if his army is short of food, he will not let his army fall into a situation of food shortage, and people will find out, and he knows that he is already short of food, why not leave as soon as possible."
"Aren'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 that Hua Xiong wait, this time he would go and see for himself.
"Well! Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ziyu." Hearing Xiao Ziyu say this, Hua Xiong didn't object, so he nodded.
Just as he was told, Xiao Ziyu said hello to Hua Xiong, immediately flew out of Sishui Pass, and then secretly headed towards Sun Jian's military camp.
······
"Hmph! Sure enough, Sun Jian is scheming," Xiao Ziyu came not far from Sun Jian's military camp, and when he scanned his consciousness, he immediately discovered the difference in his military camp.
Although there are indeed some restless soldiers at the outermost periphery, in Xiao Ziyu's consciousness, these people are not real soldiers at all, but more like civilians.
And his spiritual consciousness also discovered that Sun Jian's real elites were still cultivating there.
Seeing this, Xiao Ziyu completely understood that all this was probably deliberately designed by Sun Jian, just to let Hua Xiong get in.
"Hey! There is actually 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 notice the army inside.
Xiao Ziyu knew that this was a psychedelic method, and most counselors would use this method. Of course, there are strong and weak ways to deploy this method.
If it were arranged by top counselors, even top generals might not be able to detect it.
But some low-level counselors are still very clumsy in their methods, just like the one in front of me.
According to Xiao Ziyu's estimation, if Hua Xiong came, he would definitely be able to find it.
But these are not the main thing. The main thing is the hidden army here, which reminds me of Sun Jian's design.
Xiao Ziyu immediately understood that they completely wanted to attack from both front and back, annihilate Hua Xiong, and then capture Sishui Pass in one fell swoop.
"Haha! It's a good plan, but it's a pity that you met me."
