Wei Ba first used his personal force to conquer Heisha, and then used the force of his soldiers to conquer the hearts of the young warriors of the Yuanxi tribe, letting them see how powerful he was, and then bestowing favors. This was just a slap in the face first, and then a favor.
This is a sweet truth. To deal with these barbarians, blind benevolence and righteousness are not enough. Only by conquering them first and then giving them benefits can they truly be obedient.
The Yuanxi tribe used to be the tribe that supported the Shu Han the most, but it declined because of its support for the Shu Han. Morally speaking, the Shu Han also had the obligation to support them, and they were now at a critical moment of life and death. As long as they reached out to save them, they could easily be saved.
Earn their gratitude. Similarly, for Jin Suo'er who was watching, this clean battle was also a rare memory, which would be spread to the ears of more barbarians from her mouth, further establishing Master Wei's fighting spirit.
An invincible myth.
For these barbarians, myths are more useful than any other truth. Have you not seen that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were still people who believed in invulnerability and dared to rush forward shirtless while chanting incantations?
Wei Ba now doesn't have much time to cultivate loyalty, so he has to use mythology. This idea has been planned since before the Battle of Chenshui, and is now being implemented step by step. Although he hopes to make himself a god in one fell swoop,
But he also knows that this kind of thing cannot be exposed. These barbarians are straight-faced. Once they find out that you lied to them, they will immediately turn their backs and deny you.
Fortunately, Wei Ba, as a time traveler, has more or less benefits. He is more experienced in propaganda and agitation in the ideological field or simply demagogue people than these people now. Most of these people are illiterate and have little knowledge of reading and literacy.
People who are well-informed are blind followers by nature. They can even believe that their ancestor was a dog, and they have no psychological barriers to the fact that the wise and powerful Lord Wei is the reincarnation of an invincible god general.
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, at least the people of the Yuanxi tribe believed it. Wei Ba made Heisha his personal bodyguard, Sima, and selected two hundred young and strong men from the Yuanxi tribe, and gave them to Dunwu and others for training.
Then he began to prepare for the production of the trebuchet. Salaman followed Wei Ba's request and moved the ordinary people from the front village to the back village to avoid being affected by the war.
Wei Ba brought some gifts, including armor and war knives captured from the Wu army, which were originally given to the Xiongxi tribe. Now the situation has changed. I couldn't care less about it for the time being, so I gave them all to the Yuanxi tribe.
Equipped with the escaped guard battalion. The barbarians have always been at a disadvantage when fighting the Han people. On the one hand, the combat ideas remain at the level of tribal fighting. On the other hand, the equipment is too poor. They basically have no leather armor, only status.
High-level talents may wear occasionally captured Han leather armor, and iron armor is even rarer. Most of the weapons used are spears and machetes, and long-range weapons are bamboo bows or wooden crossbows. Compared with the Han people's standard crossbows,
These weapons are too primitive. If it weren't for the barbarians guarding their homeland, fighting to the death, and having the favorable location, they would have been driven deep into the mountains long ago.
With the equipment brought by Wei Ba, the combat effectiveness of the guard camp has been improved, and more importantly, the energy and spirit are different. Thirty young barbarians with high martial arts skills wear standard Zha armor and standard ring knives.
Standing next to Wei Ba was enough to arouse the envy and desire of other young barbarians. There were several blacksmiths in the village, and Wei Ba asked them to hurry up and use Han knife-making methods to make some new machetes. Although the time was short,
If there are few craftsmen, they can't do much at all, but if you have more good knives, you will have more strength.
Seeing Wei Ba arrange for someone to make a knife, Heisha pulled Wei Ba aside and said mysteriously: "Sir, can an old knife be repaired in this way?"
"Of course you can." Wei Ba said with a smile: "Depending on the damage, add some new iron and forge it again. It can be used completely."
"Well, the king's sword is still there, can you please ask the king to make it again?" Heisha pointed to the craftsmen who were thinking about it: "Just use the sword forging method that the Lord just mentioned."
Wei Ba hesitated for a moment. He knew that Heisha was very enthusiastic about inheriting the position of Barbarian King of Shamoko. If he could help Heisha realize this wish, Heisha would probably do anything. In order to gain Heisha's loyalty, of course he
He is willing to help, but he cannot agree too easily, otherwise Heisha will think it is natural and not beautiful.
Seeing Wei Ba's hesitation, Heisha rubbed his hands in embarrassment and his face turned red. Wei Xing coughed and reminded: "Jingfu, it seems that the king's relics are not very convenient, right? Will other people in the tribe have any objections?
?”
Heisha smacked his lips and lowered his head. He was also worried about this problem. He was just a warrior of the Yuanxi tribe now. He didn't even have the Panhu Order. Some elders in the tribe refused to recognize his status, let alone move Shamo.
Ke's legacy.
Wei Ba thought for a moment: "Heisha, ask your wife and her mother. They are King Samoko's family members. If they say they can move, then there is no problem. They can make King Samoko's sword thirsty again.
Drinking the blood of Wu people is neither a good thing nor a good thing. If you can use King Samoko's sword to perform meritorious deeds, it will also be helpful for you to inherit his throne in the future."
Heisha was overjoyed and hurriedly went to the back village to ask Salaman and his daughter. Of course Salaman hoped that her husband could become a barbarian king like his father, which was a dream come true. Her mother had become almost demented over the years, so she would not have any objections. Got it.
After their mother and daughter agreed, Heisha happily took Wei Ba to the place where Samoko's relics were enshrined in the back village.
In a very neat thatched house, there is a tall statue of a god. It is made of unknown wood. The carving technique is very exaggerated. The statue has a ferocious face and a hat like a dog's head on its head. It holds a long-handled sword in its left hand.
, the five fingers of the right hand are held empty.
"This is the sword used by the king back then." Heisha pointed to the sword that was well maintained but somewhat dull and said, "This sword killed at least thirty Wu dogs back then."
Wei Ba did not answer him. All his attention was attracted by this long-handled sword. The blade of this sword was about four feet long, similar to an ordinary sword, but the blade was twice as wide, about three fingers wide, only
The blade is about twice as heavy as an ordinary sword. If the blade is bent a little more, it will be somewhat similar to the legendary Qinglong Yanyue Sword. No one with extraordinary physical strength can use such a heavy sword. It is known as
The eighty-two-pound Guanwang Sword was only used for martial arts in later generations. No one would actually carry such a heavy weapon on the battlefield.
"Masa Dao!" Wang Shuang exclaimed.
"You know him?" Wei Ba was surprised.
"Yes, I know it." Wang Shuang explained: "This kind of long-handled sword is specially used to deal with cavalry. It is transformed from the sword of Zhan Dao. It also refers to the shape of the long sword. It is amazingly powerful. No wonder Sha
King Moko is extremely brave. He can use such a sword. How many people are his opponents?"
Wei Ba nodded in agreement. Such swords can only be used by people with great height and strength. People in the South are generally not tall, that is, about seven feet, which is slightly smaller than people from the Central Plains. With one force reduced by ten, an eight-foot-tall figure suddenly appeared.
With the above-mentioned strong men, coupled with this powerful sword, there are several people who can be his opponents.
Wei Ba suddenly laughed and looked at Heisha and Wang Shuang up and down. Wang Shuang was nine feet tall, so it was no problem to use such a sword. Heisha was also one of the rare big men among barbarians, probably about seven feet eight inches.
Although it is a bit shorter than Samoko, it should not be a problem to use such a knife.
If they are equipped with such swords, they will play a significant role in the next battle.
"Heisha, ask the blacksmiths to stop all their work and make two such swords first."
"That's great." Heisha's brows were filled with joy, but then he was stunned again and asked in surprise: "Two mouths?"
"Yes, you heard it right." Wei Ba patted Heisha on the shoulder: "Heisha, if I guess correctly, you probably don't know how to use such a sword, right?"
Heisha's dark face turned red and he nodded awkwardly. He wanted to go into battle with Samoko's sword to show that he was Samoko's heir, but he really didn't know how to use such a long-handled sword. He and
Like ordinary tribesmen, they are accustomed to using machetes.
"If you go into battle and you don't know how to use it, wouldn't you be laughed at?" Wei Ba pointed at Wang Shuang: "But you are lucky. The prince in front of you is a master who is good at using long swords. You
Follow him and you will never go wrong."
Heisha was overjoyed and took Wang Shuang's hand and said repeatedly: "Brother Wang, you have to teach me."
Wang Shuang was confused. Although he knew about this kind of horse-cutting sword, he had never used it. How could he teach Hei Sha? He looked at Hei Sha in embarrassment and then at Wei Ba. Seeing his appearance, Hei Sha thought he was not
He was willing to teach, so he had no choice but to turn around and save Wei Ba. Wei Ba said seriously: "Zi Quan, Heisha is now my personal guard Sima. He will fight with you in the future to kill the enemy. If he is stronger, he can also help you.
If it’s divided, don’t be reluctant to part with it and teach him a few tricks.”
Although Wang Shuang didn't quite understand what Wei Ba meant, he knew that Wei Ba must have his own considerations, so he reluctantly nodded: "Since the young master said so, I will teach him a few tricks."
Heisha was ecstatic and could no longer think about whether it was appropriate for Shamoko's knife to appear in Wang Shuang's hands. He took the knife and quickly went to find the blacksmith. After Heisha disappeared, Wang Shuang asked
Said: "Young Master, I really don't know how to do it."
"Is there anything I don't know? The martial arts in the battle formation are just a few moves." Wei Ba chuckled and said, "Miss Guan and I have learned a few Guan family sword techniques, and I can teach them to you. You can think about it more, and
With your qualifications, I believe you will be able to master it soon. Let me tell you, this kind of sword technique may have limited use here, but if you go to the grassland in the future and fight against those barbarians on the grassland, this will definitely be a sharp weapon. Zi Quan
, I place this hope on you."
When Wang Shuang heard this, his blood suddenly boiled, his fighting spirit was high, and his face was a little swollen. He knelt on the ground with one leg, clasped his fists and said: "Young Master, don't worry, I will think carefully about it, and I will definitely live up to your trust.
"
"I believe in you." Wei Ba patted Wang Shuang on the shoulder, "You are a piece of fine iron with excellent qualifications. After thousands of tempers, you will eventually become a sword that can cut iron like clay." (To be continued...)
