Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 290 New Beginning

Formation was of no use to these beasts, so the ten of them each found a desert wolf to catch and kill.

The knife fell from his hand, and then it was gone!

"That's it?"

boom!
A shocking scene appeared in the huge Colosseum. No one expected such a scene to happen. The soldiers of Daqin actually killed the desert wolf one by one, and there were no casualties.

"It seems that Qin Guo won by luck!"

Li Shiqi looked at Sheli Shuga opposite him with a smile in his eyes.

"The fighters of Daqin are indeed extremely fierce, this king is convinced!"

Sheli Shujia stood up and looked at the Daqin warriors standing neatly together in the arena. Although he was in a bad mood, he still recognized the strength of the Qin army.

"The king's warriors are also brave and skilled fighters, and this lord will also admire them."

Li Shiqi also praised unceremoniously that Magadha's soldiers were indeed remarkable.

The crazy crowd also used their own cheers to express their praise for the ten-member team of the Qin Army. This was the first time they had seen such a wonderful beast fighting game.

This was the least time-consuming and most agile match since the Colosseum. Daqin won their approval with his strength.

"Your envoy, please!"

Relic Shuga toasted.

"Please!"

The infantry match naturally came to an end, and the next step was the archer match.When it comes to using bows and crossbows, Qin is at the master level.

Bows and arrows originated in the Chinese civilization. Dongyi people were the first to invent bows and arrows and were good at archery.

In the Dongyi bone inscriptions of the Longshan culture period from 600 to 300 years ago, the character "Yi" similar to the bow shape of a human back has been discovered, and the original basis for "Congda Conggong" has been found.

In 1045 B.C., before Jiang Taigong enfeoffed Qi and founded the country, there was a powerful tribe—Dongyi, which multiplied and lived on the vast land of Qi. Together with the Yanhuang and later Miaoman tribes, they constituted the backbone of the Yanhuang tribe.

Because the Dongyi people have been engaged in fishing and hunting for a long time, coupled with the rich products in Qidi, they are often invaded by foreign tribes, and the Dongyi people have frequent anti-aggression wars. Therefore, Dongyi was a tribe with rich military experience and a habit of fighting. Dongyi people are also known for their martial arts, and are famous for their bravery and wisdom.

During the long-term hunting process, the fishing and hunting tribes of that period gradually improved their hunting gear.They first fought with wild animals with bare hands, and later learned to throw stones and clods to fight.

The earliest arrows were very simple, probably originated from javelins, and the ancestors later reduced them to arrows, which were combined with bows and became a set.Take a tree stick or bamboo pole, cut it into a certain length of arrow shaft, and sharpen one end to make an arrow.

The real origin of arrows should be in the Stone Age of primitive society. People ground stone flakes, bones, or shells into sharp shapes and installed them on one end of the arrow shaft, thus making arrowheads with stone, bone, or shell arrowheads. , Compared with the arrows sharpened with wooden sticks and bamboo poles, it is a big step forward.Later, using the elasticity of the branches, the slingshot was invented, and finally the bow was invented.

"A crossbow is born from a bow, and a bow is born from a bullet!"

Dongyi people invented bows and arrows, which can be seen from the fact that the character "Yi" is composed of "big" and "bow". "Shuowen" said: "Yi, the people of the East, follow the big and follow the bow."

"Shuowen Tongxun Dingsheng" says: "Yi are people from the East. The Yi people from the East are warlike and hunting, so they are called Congda, holding a bow and understanding, and they are adults."

As for the specific inventors of bows and arrows, there are three main ones with available historical data: Pan, Zhang Hui, and Hou Yi.There is no doubt that these three people are from Dongyi. "Shan Hai Jing Hai Nei Jing" said: "Shaohao was born with a plate, and the plate was originally a bow and arrow."

Shaohao used to be the leader of the Dongyi tribe, and his sub-pan was of course a Dongyi person; "Shiben" records that "Swinging a bow, fighting against a barbarian makes an arrow".Legend has it that Hui is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and the fifth son of Shaohao. He is a cousin of Zhuanxu, and may be a brother or even the same person as the aforementioned Pan.

Legend has it that he was inspired by the arc stars in the sky and invented bows and arrows. Zhuanxu named him Gongzheng (supervising the manufacture of bows and arrows), and was in charge of the world. He was given the surname Zhang and became the ancestor of today's Zhang surname.As for Mou Yi, he is a branch of the Dongyi tribe; Houyi is a standard Dongyi.

And the state of Qin has developed the crossbow to the extreme, and all countries know that the crossbow of Qin is the best in the world.Magaduo wants to compete with Daqin in bow and arrow competition, isn't it uncomfortable?

Although Magaduo's archers are also very powerful, they are still a lot worse than Daqin.

The result of the competition was naturally not unexpected. Daqin defeated Magadha's archers and won again.

Sheli Shujia was overjoyed at the moment, but luckily he didn't continue to bet against Li Shiqi, otherwise he would really regret it.

Then there was the cavalry match, and the two sides were tied. The main reason was that the Qin knights who participated in the match were ordinary cavalry and their familiar horses did not accompany the fleet.

The team that competed with them was Magadha's ace cavalry unit. A tie result was already the greatest victory.

After several games, the happiest thing was Magadha's Minister of Military Affairs Bahuo Baal and many Magadha generals.

They watched every game carefully and completely. During the observation process, they discovered a lot of Qin's secrets.

The steel knives used by the soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty are famous cutting weapons of all countries, and the armor on their bodies is also an extremely strong defensive weapon. The armor of Magadha is not even one-fifth of it.

The strong bows used by archers have a longer range and greater power than the bows used by their troops.The high discipline of the soldiers made them even more curious about how Daqin trained.

The various magical features of Da Qin attracted their great attention. Now their eyes were all focused on Li Shiqi, and they all used their brains to obtain these magical weapons and training methods from him.

I have to say that their thinking is really good, such a country's sharp weapon should not be easily shown to others, but Daqin's various weapons and equipment can be sold to them according to the situation. Arms sales are a violent industry, and Daqin must be a chess player.

"Your envoy, if you dare to ask Daqin if he can sell these magical weapons, I am willing to buy them at a high price!"

Sari Shuga naturally knew that Daqin's armor was better than Magadha's, so he wanted to buy some.Because he received the news that Karovila of the Kalinga Kingdom bought a batch of Daqin weapons at a huge price.

"This!"

Li Shiqi looked embarrassed, his eyebrows were furrowed together, as if he was making a difficult decision.

"Let me think about it carefully, the matter is of great importance, and I dare not jump to conclusions lightly."

Every cell in Li Shiqi's body welcomes someone who buys arms, but this matter cannot be easily agreed to, which is not conducive to the sale.

"I'm not in a hurry, your envoy should think about it more."

Sari Shuga is not in a hurry, this kind of thing can't be rushed, it needs to be done step by step.Only by slowly and deeply communicating can we reap success.

"I will definitely give the king a satisfactory answer!" Li Shiqi said flatly.
