Chapter 280 The Magical Use of Silk

Ba Xiulie looked at Maodun in shock. He did not expect Maodun to make such a choice.

This seems like a completely stupid choice, and it is completely inconsistent with the extraordinary wisdom that Maodun shows on weekdays.

Ba Xiulie sighed silently in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't understand the intention of Maodun doing this.

Woo……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The continuous sound of trumpets rang out from the Xiongnu royal court and spread in all directions. All the herdsmen looked up and looked in the direction of the Xiongnu royal court. Everyone knew that this was the prelude to the war.

"Look, that's the dragon flag that holds the plow and is laid..." A herderer looked at the Yinglong Chronicle floating in the strong wind, his words were filled with shock.

Yinglong's Chronicle marked the arrival of the cavalry of the Shanyu headquarters.

It is the most backbone force in the hands of Shanyu.

"And the flag of General Zuo..." At this moment, a herdsman shouted again, and what was presented to the herdsman was a white tiger pattern embroidered on the flag.

This is the ten thousand cavalry to which Baxilie belongs. As Touman's most trusted confidant, Touman handed over this ten thousand cavalry to Baxilie.

Next, five or six large flags came here, and all the herdsmen watched this scene in a daze.

At present, the Huns had gathered 100,000 cavalry, with a total of about 100,000 people. Everyone was convinced that the war was really going to start!

These 100,000 cavalry gathered together, and the daily expenses were astronomical, and the impact on the passing grasslands is immeasurable.

Even some good pastures require two or three years of rest and recuperation to recover, while some pastures with poor quality will take longer.

Don’t think that nomadic peoples do not require logistics to start wars. However, unlike the farming people, when the farming people start wars, they transport food, while the nomadic peoples carry large-scale clusters of cattle and sheep.

In addition, there are also war horses equipped with each soldier, at least two war horses. Such a huge herd of livestock will cause huge damage to the grassland if it crosses any grassland.

War horses, cattle and sheep will eat the roots and stems of the grass completely, and what remains will be a desert.

The ecological environment of the grassland is more fragile and harsh, and it cannot withstand such torture at all. Therefore, everyone is convinced that Shanyu is really ready to go south!

If you pay such a price, if you cannot achieve fruitful results in Qin, you can foresee what will happen on the grassland.

A large number of cattle and sheep that do not have enough forage will starve to death, and the herdsmen who lose cattle and sheep will also lose their capital to survive. The best result is to become slaves to other tribes and have hope of survival. The number of tribes will disappear on the grassland.

At the same time, in the Xiongnu royal court, two groups of envoys set out separately, rushed to the Donghu and Dayuezhi, and persuaded the two sides to send troops together.

At this time, in a barracks outside Fushi City, Shi Fu led seven or eight carriages, loaded with goods here.

When he entered the barracks, he saw Fusu, Shi Fu said, "Brother, this is the silk you want, it's all here."

Fusu walked outside, looked at the silk on the carriage, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Shi Fu, go find the military commander to get the money later!"

Seeing this, Shi Fu scratched his head and said, "Brother, even if these were given to the Qin army, my Shi Fu would not take any money."

"Oh?" Fusu looked at Shi Fu with a strange smile in his eyes.

Looking at Fusu's face, Shi Fu hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't think so. I'm not currying to you. I'm giving these silks to Qin Jun, not because of you, brother."

"Speak and listen."

Shi Fu paused for a moment, cleared his throat and said, "The first thing is that I understand my elder brother and know that my elder brother always has targeted things. Although sometimes people can't understand it very well, my elder brother must have a deep meaning when doing this."

"You boy..." A smile appeared on the corner of Fusu's mouth.

"That's the second thing, I'm going to be true. Brother, I have been to many counties this year. Some of them are close to the Hu people and are often robbed and harassed by the Hu people. Many people are displaced and their families are destroyed. My Shifu has no great ability and cannot kill those Hu people and avenge the people. But I believe that Brother can do it, so these silks are my little wish."

Speaking of this, Shi Fu's eyes gradually turned red. He had seen with his own eyes how miserable the village after being plundered by the Hu people was. It is not an exaggeration to say hell on earth.

The ground was covered with broken arms and limbs, and countless people fell in pools of blood. All the food and items in their homes were plundered, and they were not spared. They were taken back to the grassland and trained to become slaves.

The village, which was originally full of vitality, turned into ruins in the blink of an eye and turned into a ghost town, without making a sound, and was terrifying.

Looking at Shi Fu's appearance, Fusu patted Shi Fu's shoulder and said, "I will definitely do it."

No matter what identity Fusu lives in, as long as he is a member of Zhuxia, he has the obligation to defend the people of Zhuxia from bullying by the Hu people.

Fusu stared at Shi Fu and said, "Shi Fu, these silks are actually used as clothing."

Shi Fu was a little stunned when he heard this. He seemed too rich and generous to each soldier for clothes with silk!

You should know that even if these silks, worth thousands of gold, are not silks like Shu brocade, are still not cheap. Ordinary people can only use raw materials such as hemp to make clothes.

Looking at the puzzled look on Shi Fu's face, Fusu took a piece of silk casually, then pierced the silk with an arrow and showed it in front of Shi Fu.

Seeing that Shi Fu was still puzzled, Fusu said, "If the enemy shoots arrows, silk can reduce damage. Even if the soldiers in the process are shot, the soldiers can take the arrows along the silk. In this way, the hope of our Qin soldiers to survive will inevitably be greatly enhanced."

Speaking of this paragraph, we have to nominate the Mongolian Iron Cavalry that shocked the world. This method is to copy the Mongolian Iron Cavalry.

The Mongolian light cavalry did not wear armor, and the clothes they wore were silk. When they shot against the enemy, they found that silk had a significant damage reduction effect. Even if they were shot, they could use the silk to pull out the arrows, while reducing the damage to the arrows on the soldiers, thereby maintaining the combat effectiveness of the army.
