Chapter 15 Chapter Two

The feather arrow made a shrill howling sound in the night sky, and plunged into the target a hundred steps away with a "bang".When the warrior rushed to get the arrow, the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly. The warrior took off the cowhide that had been shot by the arrow, walked back quickly, and presented it on his knees.King Taigor Khan carefully looked at the cowhide that hit the arrow, and nodded with satisfaction.This piece of leather is densely glued together with five layers of raw cowhide, and the long sharp arrow pierced through five layers of cowhide at one time, half of the arrowhead gleamed darkly on the back of the cowhide.

"The Great Khan tried to pull out the arrow." The black-clothed servant whispered behind him, his voice was hoarse, and it sounded unspeakably uncomfortable. The Great Khan grabbed the cowhide with one hand, held the arrow tail tightly with the other, and pulled it out with all his strength.The arrow did not come out, but his hand holding the cowhide slipped away. The Great Khan frowned and stared at his aching hand.King Taigor the Great Khan was also a warrior when he was young, but his physical strength was still good when he was old, and he was really surprised that he could not draw an arrow.

The black-clothed servant took the cowhide. He seemed to have a small knife hidden in his palm. A cold light turned silently, and the cowhide was cut open, exposing the entire arrowhead in front of people.It was a thin, pointed thorn twice as long as an ordinary arrowhead, with a raised spine and barbs on both sides of the blade. "It's not just the Great Khan who can't pull out this kind of arrow. The barb will bite the leather. Unless the cowhide is completely torn, no one can do anything." The servant in black held the arrow and handed it to Suhada who was watching. King Khan and King Gele Khan, "The effect will be better if you shoot them on people."

King Suha the Great Khan stroked the arrow thorn lightly. He was also a person who had been in battle, but when he stroked this strange sharp arrow, he was in awe, as if some small thorns on it pricked his fingers. "It's a vicious arrow," he whispered in his mind. "The Great Khan had better not touch it." The servant in black stretched out his hand to stop him, "This arrow is not made of forged steel. Half of it is copper, and the copper will corrode after a long time. Naturally copper poisonous!" King Suha Khan was so startled that he threw away the arrow, and King Taigor Khan had already caught the arrow in the air.

"It's useless!" He growled at his younger brother, "I didn't shoot you!" He then turned to the black-clothed servant: "Half of it is made of copper, and the arrow thorn is so long that it is easy to break. This arrow is useless after being shot out, and it cannot be forged. It can only be cast in a mold to create such an arrow. How much does it cost?" The black-clothed servant smiled hoarsely: "In terms of cost, this arrow is more than three times that of the ordinary Spike Arrow. This is a copy of the armor-penetrating arrow 'pine needle' of the Donglu Jinbei Izumo Cavalry Army, but we added an inverted arrow. The hook is just thickening the ridge. The Izumo cavalry army has been using pine needle arrows for nearly 20 years. The northern Jin can afford this cost, and so can the Great Khan.”

King Taigor the Great Khan gave him a cold look, turned around and started pacing, twirling the sharp arrow in his hand silently. "King Khan, if you want to dominate the grassland, don't be reluctant to spend money. If you don't use this arrow, it might be fine if you are facing the white wolf regiment going up to the north. If you are facing the tiger and leopard cavalry in Qingyang one day, don't even think about using other arrows." What do you do? I have seen the armor of the tiger and leopard cavalry. The inside is lined with leather, and the outside is made of forged steel. Ordinary arrows, even if they shoot through the steel, will bite to death in the leather. Only this kind of stabbing arrow, the arrowhead is long And thin, you can hit it with one blow." He sneered, "If it is shot from the chest, the length of the arrowhead is just right to send the copper poison to the heart."

"Okay! Start working as soon as possible. When can our warriors start practicing this stabbing arrow?" "It takes three months to make blueprints, make models, and temper iron and copper in large quantities, but the arrows for practice can be made within ten days. Counting ten arrows for each warrior, we need 500,000 arrows, equivalent to Donglu gold baht, about 50,000." "50,000 pieces?" King Gele Khan blurted out, "The wild wormwood cut from our grasslands can also be used to make arrows. You actually need 50,000 gold baht to make a batch of arrows?"

"I came from afar for the merits of the Great Khan. The Great Khans are not willing to build it, and I don't persuade it. However, I heard that twenty blacksmiths from the Dongluchun Kingdom were just invited in the tent of Prince Bimogan to help build it. Armor, a piece of high-grade Chunguo steel armor, worth more than a hundred gold baht. I wonder if King Gele Khan's wild wormwood arrow can penetrate Bimogan's armor?" "What nonsense?" Taigel stretched out his arms to fend off his younger brother, "My family paid for the 50,000 gold baht. You can save your money to please women and buy gadgets from Donglu! Le, I heard that the glazed pagoda in your tent is very exquisite? Wait for someone's sword to cut off your head, and your exquisite treasure will belong to them! Your woman may work harder than serving others when she serves others. Woolen cloth."

"I... I can't say no money..." Gele's face flushed red, "But... Guo Leer is still our younger brother. It has been decades since he became the maharajah. Could it be that he Are you really going to come back and harm his brothers?" "Yes, brother. Although Erlu and Bimogan have made great contributions to destroying the Zhenyan tribe and returned, Erlu has become the Great Khan. But we are not doing nothing here. Goleer enthroned his brother on the bed." Participating in politics, Xu Dahan now holds all the documents on the population of cattle and sheep outside the northern capital, and last month Guo Leer gave us a few pastures on the other side of Huoleiyuan, allowing us to hunt wild horses." Su Ha said cautiously, "Isn't it a little too far to worry that Guo Leer will join forces with Bimogan and Erlu to deal with us? If Guo Leer finds out about spending so much money on bows and arrows... "

"It's all nonsense!" Taigel spat viciously on the ground, "You guys who don't wink were all tricked by that white-eyed eagle of Guo Leer! Back then, the Chao family supported him, and the few of us were more powerful than others. But he, bowed his head to him. He promised that he became a maharajah, brothers are still equal, eat the same food, wear the same clothes, and we don't have to salute him. But you have also seen it over the years, food and clothing are the same Same, but what is this small favor? We have no control over the political affairs of the tribe, and our slaves and warriors are not allowed to enter the northern capital casually. Who remembers you Suha, remembers you Gele, remembers me Taigel?"

With force in his hand, he snapped the thorny arrow: "Participating in politics, enthroned on the bed, and wild horses, these are just bullshit! Guo Leer gave all the actual benefits to Erlu and Bimogan, and let Bimo Qian and Erlu went out together, and today even the tiger and leopard riders were given to Erlu. Tiger and leopard riders! Aren’t you afraid that one day the jagged saber will cut your necks?” "This..." Gele hesitated, "Could it be that Guo Le'er has decided to pass on the position of Maharaja to Bi Mogan? Then we still support Xu Dahan... how about..." "Joke!" Taigel sneered, "How much money have we invested in Xu Dahan over the years? How much Bi Mogan hates us, now you go back to flatter Bi Mogan's nephew, too A little late, right? Besides, he already has the generals of the Chao clan and Erlu supporting him, and he does not lack you, the Great Khan of Gele. Among them, the most cunning is Guo Leer! He thinks clearly, He can pass on the Maharaja position to any son, but he will not leave the power to us brothers!" "No need to say any more!" He threw the broken arrow into the ground, "Immediately start making this kind of arrow and equip our warriors. We will catch more wild horses on Huoleiyuan!" Without saying a word, the servant in black carefully pulled out the broken arrow from the soil, put it in his sleeve, and laughed a few times: "This is the first time that pine needle arrows have appeared on the grasslands of the Northland, don't leave them behind." A little clue is good for people to discover. When the rain of arrows from the pine needle arrows is released at the enemy's iron cavalry one day, let it shock Hokuriku!" King Taigor Khan stared at him coldly for a while with brown eyes: "Okay! You are fine!" "One more thing." The servant in black said, "According to the report from our scouts, there seems to be a group of Donglu people active on the grassland recently." "Donglu people?" Tai Geer became alert, "Do you know them? Are they our friends or enemies?" "There is no definite clue to catch them so far. They are just wandering around and haven't approached the northern capital yet. However, they will not be simple people who can escape from the sight of our scouts. At least, their purpose and mine The intention is different." Taigel was silent for a moment: "Check this matter carefully." "yes!"
