Chapter 2752 The Decisive Battle at Buffalo Mountain 1, Da Qin VS Sui Tuqiang
Chapter 2748: Decisive Battle at Buffalo Mountain 1, Da Qin VS Sui Tuqiang
Spartacus’s understanding of the East all came from Xuanzang’s oral accounts, but he only communicated with Xuanzang for three days, so how much could he learn from it?
So, when he finally arrived in the east, everything he saw was extremely shocking to him.
For example, the Qiang people.
He originally thought that the Qiang tribe was just a small tribe, but this small tribe had an extremely glorious past. It had even defeated the Han Empire many times, and was able to form an army of 100,000 people after experiencing the annihilation of the country.
He once thought that even the 20 coalition forces could not defeat the 890,000 Qin army, even if the Qiang army was definitely a mob.
But after seeing the Qiang army, he couldn't help but be amazed by the neat military appearance and sophisticated weapons and equipment of the Qiang army. After all, Rome was still in the Iron Age, and only a few generals knew how to use steel weapons. arms.
According to normal development, Europe entered the Iron Age in 1000 BC. It was not until the 14th century, after 2,400 years of exploration, that steelmaking technology emerged.
The small amount of steel weapons that appeared in Rome were naturally sold from the East. They were extremely expensive, and there was no market for them. After all, things were rare and expensive, so they would be snapped up as soon as they appeared.
Spartacus originally thought that steel weapons were rare in the East, but he did not expect that the Qiang people, who had been exterminated, could all use steel weapons.
In addition to weapons, the number of armors, bows and crossbows in the army is also much greater than in the West.
Taking armor alone as an example, the ratio of armor worn by the Qiang army was much higher than even that of Rome.
Except for the elite, ordinary Roman troops were basically not equipped with armor. Even the elite were mostly equipped with leather armor, and the proportion of iron armor was no more than 10% at most.
As for his rebel army, the armor-to-armor ratio was even pitifully low. Even at its peak, when it numbered 200,000 troops, the total number of armors totaled less than 2,000 pairs.
But what about the Qiang army in front of us? However, the leather armor ratio of the 10,000-strong army reached 20%, which was more armor than his 200,000-strong army, let alone iron armor.
“I buy Ga.”
Spartacus couldn't help but sigh. He now understood why Marco Polo used the term "golden country" to describe the East. The East was indeed too rich.
How much money does it cost to build so many weapons and equipment and so many armors?
The Qiang people alone are already so rich, so how rich should the Qin Empire, as the overlord, be? Spartacus couldn't imagine it.
What Spartacus didn't know was that the Qiang people were actually not that rich. Most of the reason they had so many weapons and equipment was due to the sponsorship of the Sui State.
“Mr. Si, these are the weapons, armor, and mounts prepared for you by my mother.”
Yelu Zhiwu, who was dressed in military uniform, said that among Shuluping's children, she was second only to Yelu Deguang in strength, so Shuluping asked her to keep an eye on Spartacus.
It’s not that Shuluping was afraid that Spartacus would violate the agreement, but that he wanted his daughter to seduce him. If he couldn’t do it himself, he would create an opportunity for others to do it. If it happened, he would be able to completely conquer this fierce general.
But unfortunately, Spartacus is not lustful, and besides, he still cares about Mira in his heart. No matter how beautiful Yelvzhiwu is, he will not be tempted by Yeluzhiwu, so Shuluping's wishful thinking is doomed. It's going to come to nothing.
After contacting him, Yelvzhiwu also realized that Spartacus was not a lecherous person, so he did not take any seductive actions at all.
“Well, my last name is not Si, my name is Spartacus.”
After Spartacus replied, his eyes fell on the weapons and equipment in front of him, and his face suddenly showed a look of indescribable joy.
The weapons Shuluping specially prepared for him were obviously much better than those of ordinary soldiers, especially the broadsword, which was better than all the weapons he had before.
The weapon Spartacus used before was also a steel knife, which he captured after killing Grebo. He won one battle after another with him, but was killed by Heracles in the final battle. It was shattered, and the steel-making knife in front of me was obviously stronger than the one before.
If he had held this sword in the last battle, even if he would be defeated, his defeat would not be that disastrous. Spartacus thought to himself.
Looking at Spartacus who couldn't put it down for the new weapons and equipment, Yelu Zhiwu said lightly: "Hurry up and get familiar with these weapons and equipment. After arriving at Buffalo Mountain, there is still a test waiting for you, Mr. Sba. ”
“Well, my surname is not Siba. By the way, what is the test you are talking about?”
"You don't really think that if the queen mother regards you as a trump card, you can really become the trump card of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. If you don't show your true skills and convince the coalition forces, how can they dare to let you go to war?"
Hearing what Yelu Zhiwu said, Spartacus also felt that it made sense. After all, Shuluping was just a woman. It was okay to let her come up with ideas, but she could not be the leader of the coalition, so he asked: "Excuse me, Sun Wukong is in the east." What level of power is that?"
“Who is Sun Wukong?”
Hearing what Yelu Zhiwu said, Spartacus looked surprised.
“You don’t know Sun Wukong? That’s not right, the master said. Wukong is one of the most famous generals in the East. How could you not know him?”
“But I really haven’t heard of it.”
Speaking of Sun Lingming, Yelv Zhiwu naturally knew about it. After all, there were only a few people in the East who didn’t know his name, but not many people knew about Sun Wukong. After all, Wukong only took the name of Xuanzang before he left, and there weren’t many people in the East at all. People know.
Yelu Zhiwu didn’t know about Xuanzang’s journey to the west, so he asked, “Could it be that the master you mentioned deceived you?”
"How is it possible? Master Xuanzang is a member of the Buddhist sect and a monk does not tell lies."
After hearing Xuanzang's name, Yelu Zhiwu instantly guessed who Spartacus was talking about. After all, Xuanzang's journey to the west and Sun Lingming's becoming a monk for love were also known to everyone in the East.
"Xuan Zang? You should be talking about Sun Lingming, of course I have heard of his name. Why do you mention him?"
"It's good to know. I fought against Wukong in Persia and fought more than fifty rounds. What level do you think I am in the East?" Spartacus asked.
“Only five...what? Fifty rounds?”
Yelv Zhiwu thought it was five rounds at first, but when he realized it was fifty rounds later, he was shocked. After all, it was not with an ordinary general, but with Sun Lingming, the **** of Qitian.
"Did you really fight Sun Lingming for fifty rounds? What about the final outcome?" Yelu Zhiwu asked quickly. “Well, I lost, I’m no match for you at all.”
Spartacus said very bachelorly, not afraid that the other party would look down on him, but Yelu Zhiwu praised him greatly.
“It’s normal to lose. After all, that’s Sun Lingming. It’s already amazing that you can last for fifty rounds.”
What Yelu Zhiwu didn't know was that the reason why Spartacus could persist for fifty rounds was because Sun Lingming wanted to capture him alive instead of killing him. Otherwise, ten rounds would be enough to kill him.
When Spartacus saw that the other party admired Sun Lingming so much, he couldn't help asking: "Is Wukong so powerful in the East?"
Hearing this, Yelu Zhiwu took out the latest list of powerful generals and handed it to Spartacus, but Spartacus couldn't understand Chinese characters at all, so he had to patiently explain the meaning of the list to him.
“Now you understand the significance of this list.”
“I understand, but Wukong’s name is not on this list?”
“That’s because he became a monk, so he was automatically kicked out. Before he became a monk, Sun Lingming was ranked second, second only to Li Cunxiao, the best general in the world.”
Having said that, Yelu Zhiwu also compared the deeds of Xuanzang and the other two disciples with those of Spartacus.
…
After hearing this, Spartacus took a breath of cold air. He knew that Master Xuanzang and his apprentice had a great background, but he did not expect that they would be so powerful.
The eldest disciple is the second most powerful general in the entire East;
The second disciple was the former king of Qi, a large country in the east;
The third disciple was the general marshal of the deceased Zhao Kingdom;
As a master, Xuanzang is one of the leaders of Eastern Dacheng Buddhism.
Other than love and faith, Spartacus could not think of any other reason for these four people to get together and travel thousands of miles to Rome to find the holy medicine.
Yelu Zhiwu didn't pay attention to Spartacus's shock. Instead, he analyzed to himself: "If you can really fight Sun Lingming for fifty rounds, you should be able to squeeze into the top fifteen on the list of powerful players. , with such strength, at least no one in Kansai is your opponent now."
Spartacus asked curiously: "Didn't you say that Da Qin has many strong generals? Most of the people on the list of strong generals are from Da Qin. Why doesn't Da Qin arrange masters from the west?"
"That's because the Qin Dynasty was at war with the seven kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming, Sui, Shu, Qiang, and Tubo at the same time, and the fierce generals in Guanxi, such as Yang Jian, Yuwen Chengdu, and others, were all transferred to Hanzhong to prepare for Shu. "
…
Spartacus took a breath again. Although he didn't know much about the Central Plains countries, he already had a basic understanding of the Sui, Qiang, and Tu Three Kingdoms coalition forces.
In his view, the combined strength of any two of the three kingdoms of Sui, Qiang, and Tu could be considered a minor hegemon in Central and Western Asia, and even in Europe.
However, among the seven countries that besieged Da Qin, these three countries were the weakest in terms of strength.
Even if the seven countries join forces, they will still be passively beaten. So how strong should they be to be able to challenge the seven Qins?
Even Rome before the division was probably still inferior. Spartacus smiled bitterly in his heart.
Seeing Spartacus's expression, Yelvzhiwu didn't say any more. She was afraid that if she continued, she would scare Spartacus back.
Although Spartacus was shocked by the power of Qin, he had no intention of backing down. After all, Mira was more important to him, and now only Shuluping could help him save Mira.
As for how he should gain a foothold in the East after offending Da Qin? At worst, he would travel to other countries with Mira hiding his identity.
When Spartak arrived at Buffalo Mountain, the decisive battle between the Qin army and the coalition forces had not yet begun. Li Jing's reinforcements had just arrived at Buffalo Mountain, so they were not in a hurry to start a battle with the coalition forces.
Yang Xingmi saw that Li Jing did not take the initiative to fight, so he was naturally not in a hurry to start a war. After all, 50,000 Qiang troops had just arrived, and they still needed to get used to it before they could go to the battlefield.
While Yang Xingmi was reorganizing the Qiang army, he arranged for his generals to test Spartacus' strength. He wanted to see how many brushes Shuluping said was the key to victory.
In the end, it didn’t matter if we didn’t try it, but once we tried it, everyone in the coalition was shocked.
Whether it was Yang Youji, Yelu Deguang, and Lun Qinling, these three war gods fought in a wheel battle, or two of the three randomly joined forces, they were all defeated by Spartacus. Only the three of them joined forces to draw a draw.
Spartacus's base strength is obviously only 105, but because of his status as a super general, he can challenge three war gods of the same level without defeat. The super general's power can be said to be fully displayed.
"Where did the queen find such a master? He is so powerful. No one in the Qin army and the coalition forces, no, in the entire Kansai region, is his opponent."
Yelu Deguang asked excitedly. His mother was not bragging. If this battle can be won, this person must be the key to victory.
"This man was bought from Guishang by his mother for five thousand gold." Yelu Zhiwu said calmly.
…”
Yelu Deguang was completely stunned. Even the top fifteen masters on the fierce general list, the Kushan Empire, was also sold? Is their emperor stupid? Is there any more?
No matter what, the arrival of Spartacus gave the coalition forces, which had little confidence in the duel, a lot of confidence out of thin air. After all, if this trump card is used well, it can completely catch the Qin army off guard.
But what neither Yang Xingmi nor Yelu Deguang expected was that their opponent Li Jing would not give them such an opportunity.
Li Jing held a telescope and looked in the direction of the coalition camp. Although he didn't see anything special, he could faintly hear cheers.
"Our reinforcements have arrived. The coalition forces have suffered setbacks one after another. Even with low morale, cheers can still be heard in the camp. This must be another trump card. It seems that we must be careful in the next decisive battle, and we can't capsize in the gutter. ”
Li Jing murmured to himself that he had just reunited with his two sons, and both sons admired him very much, but he did not want to embarrass himself in front of them.
Two days later, Li Jing and Meng Tian led 85,000 Qin troops and took the initiative to go to war with the coalition forces, while Yang Xingmi and Yelu Deguang were forced to lead 200,000 coalition troops to fight.
The battle to determine the ownership of the entire Kansai region, as well as the survival of the Sui and Qiang dynasties, officially started at Bison Mountain.
