Chapter 70 Showdown, I am the elixir of life!
"What?" Wang Li looked at Zhao Si curiously and came over with a big face.
"Armored Cavalry!"
The destructive power of heavy cavalry on the battlefield can be described as devastating, no less than the chariot charge of this era.
The men and horses are equipped with armor, and when they charge, the earth will shake!
Even a few hundred mounted cavalry can sometimes play a decisive role in a battle.
"Both men and horses in full armor!" Zhao Si gestured excitedly.
"Both men and horses are heavily armored and carry heavy weapons. As long as they move, they are unstoppable!" Zhao Si said.
"Doesn't this completely abandon the advantage of cavalry?" Wang Li was stunned for a moment.
"Wait..." Wang Li frowned again as if he realized something.
"It looks a bit like a chariot, which is wrong!"
Wang Li suddenly fell into deep thought.
The heavy cavalry is somewhat similar to a chariot, but it is not a chariot. Although it completely gives up the advantage of movement, the men and horses are fully armored... Wang Li was distracted by his imagination.
"It seems to work! But it's not flexible enough..."
"No, you can carry it on horseback and transport it with the cavalry. Facing the infantry formation, it will be devastating!"
“But once you invest, you will never get out!”
Wang Li said to himself.
With the addition of stirrup saddles, heavy cavalry had room to appear.
However, the men and horses are fully armored, and the cost is visibly expensive.
As for the advantages and disadvantages of heavy cavalry, they are actually relatively obvious, and Zhao Si himself also realized that the knowledge he came into contact with in modern times was sometimes not very practical and could even mislead him.
Wang Li fell into deep thought, and Zhao Si was too lazy to stay here, so he went back to continue reading the unfinished "Book of Shang Jun".
Once inside the camp, it was obvious that there was a lot of confusion among the crew members.
"I never expected... Lord Shang to actually do such a thing..." Jing explained and answered the crew's concerns.
The books sent by Mr. Wang Jian may not even be accessible to the local officials, let alone the crew.
As for the Legalists, they must recommend Shang Yang and the five techniques of controlling the people proposed by Shang Yang.
One people, weak people, tired people, humiliating people, poor people.
"The Book of Shang Jun" is ranked among the hardest to read when looking at history. The crew members had limited knowledge, how could they fully understand it?
What they understood was that Shang Yang did not regard them as human beings.
This group of crew members are not from wealthy families, most of them are civilian families, and their butts will definitely not be as good as Shang Yang's.
In fact, Zhao Si himself was not very comfortable reading.
Legalists have always regarded people as a kind of resource. Zhao Si was not born as a prince or general, so naturally he could not be so calm.
It has been too long since Lord Shang passed away, and most of the old Qin people actually still admit that Shang Yang was the reason why the Qin Dynasty was able to unify the six countries, and they still have some respect for Shang Yang in their hearts.
But after reading a little bit, the crew members' thoughts changed from their original respect to Shang Yang's death being truly unjust.
In fact, Zhao Si thinks so too.
At that time, Shang Yang offended both the lower class and the upper class, and it was extremely difficult to implement reforms. The hearts of the people were boiling, and the hearts of the nobles were boiling. In the end, he died under the rules he set. It can be said that fate has played a trick on people.
However, knowledge is precious after all, so most of the crew members took the attitude of scolding and dissatisfied while reading.
There is no way, there is no book to read.
As ordinary people, it is normal for them to yell and curse when they know that their suffering is the result of this unless their butt is crooked.
As ordinary people, it is normal to scold and learn from them knowing that these things they hate are the qualifications for advancement in society.
This has been the case for thousands of years. There have been a few good men and women who have stirred up troubles in the long history.
"That's just how things are in the world..." Zhao Si shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
In fact, even Zhao Si himself does not want to think too much about this issue. His abilities are very limited and he can only do some things to the best of his ability. The voice he makes now is too insignificant.
In the barracks, there were still curses and discussions and inquiries from time to time. Jing sat aside and asked Zhao Si about the three-piece suit.
"Who would have thought that such a small saddle could save so much effort?" Jing said with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Then if I don't know how to ride a horse, wouldn't I be able to ride a horse?"
"Even if you have a horse riding a saddle, you have to learn how to ride it before you can do it. I'll ask Wang Liyun to bring some ponies over, and you can also practice riding skills."
"That's okay!" Jing said with a smile on his face.
He has wanted to learn horsemanship for a long time, but they are not soldiers, and they are not as close as Zhao Si and Wang Li.
Say it again.
Besides Shang Yang, who can resist a few lively ponies?
Zhao Si knew in his heart that the future destiny of this group of crew members, including himself, might be to set foot on the sea again.
After all, the information he brought back was not detailed enough, and he did not bring back some of the more important seeds.
Secondly, Xu Fu’s side hasn’t dealt with it yet.
There are not many places at sea where war horses can be used, but there is always no harm in learning how to ride.
Of course, all this is based on the fact that the First Emperor really wanted to go overseas, and Xu Fu would have to be dealt with at the worst.
Zhao Si estimated that he would have to make another trip, after all, he was the captain.
But then again...how long did Qin Shihuang live? Zhao Si scratched his head.
It is now the thirty-sixth year of the First Emperor. Zhao Si remembers that he doesn't know how long the First Emperor lived, but he always feels that the First Emperor must have been alive for less than two years... If he goes to sea again, he may meet Liu Bang when he comes back.
Zhao Si still had a good impression of the First Emperor, and the impression he had in his heart before meeting him was one of the few times he got along with him after meeting him.
Zhao Si did not want to just watch the Qin Dynasty collapse suddenly with the sudden death of the First Emperor.
In this way, Zhao Si was reading, supplementing his spiritual food, chatting with the crew, and thinking wildly.
"I don't know how long the First Emperor can live..."
"Will the First Emperor send me to sea again?"
To be honest, if the death of the First Emperor cannot be avoided, there is still a way out to go to sea, at least to avoid the limelight.
Of course, it would be nice if he didn't die. Zhao Si thought of his own raw jade aura. He closed his eyes and looked at it carefully. The raw jade still exuded a faint white light.
"I don't know if it can extend the life of the First Emperor." Zhao Si thought to himself.
He didn't plan to talk about it, and he didn't know how to say it.
Is it possible that he jumped in front of the First Emperor and said, "Now that the cards have been shown, I will be the elixir of life?"
It would not be so wonderful if the First Emperor cut himself into pieces to make elixirs.
Or if you take a step back and cut yourself off and summon him to the palace, then you might as well stay in Fusang with Xu Fu.
Moreover, the functions currently developed by my golden finger are the favorability filter and greatly improving immunity.
It’s really hard to say about life extension. What if the First Emperor’s lifespan is just that long?
Along with random thoughts and reading and studying, the day flies by very quickly.
