Chapter 906: Mission to Rome (Part 2)

As the founding king, Chiraclio was naturally not an ordinary person. In fact, he could be regarded as one of the most promising emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire, but also one of the most tragic emperors, because he encountered an enemy stronger than him, that is, Muhammad. In the end, he watched a large piece of the empire's territory occupied by the Great Food. However, even so, he led the empire to repel the Great Cannibal and preserved the Eastern Roman Empire and did not be destroyed like Persia, which laid the foundation for the revival of the Eastern Roman Empire in the future.

Of course, the Great Food has just begun to rise now, and the main enemy of the Great Cannibal is Persia. Although there is some minor friction with the Eastern Roman Empire, it does not threaten the survival of the Eastern Roman Empire. In addition, Chiraclio is indeed not young and has lost his vigilance when he was young. Therefore, he was still obsessed with his past achievements at this time and did not take the threat of the Great Cannibal too seriously. Even when he knew that Bahra had been to the Tang Dynasty, he wanted to compare his Rome with the Tang Dynasty and see which empire was more powerful?

"This..." Bahra hesitated when he heard Chiraclio's question, and then said firmly again, "His Majesty the Emperor, do you want to hear the truth or the lies?"

"What is lies and what is the truth?" Chiraclius asked at Bachra with a look of surprise.

"Your Majesty, now our Persia is in danger. If you want to hear lies, in order to please you, I will naturally praise your empire for being a hundred times stronger than the Tang Dynasty. But my conscience does not allow me to lie. So if you want to hear the truth, then I can tell you honestly that even if we Persia and Rome, and even the newly rising Dashi, the three countries together are not as good as the Tang Dynasty!"

"Bahra! You are lying!" Bahra's words obviously hurt Chiraclio's self-esteem. At that moment, he angrily angrily said, "How could there be such a powerful empire in this world?"

"I also hope I'm lying, but the facts are facts. People who have never been to the Tang Dynasty will never be able to imagine how powerful the Tang Dynasty is. And just a few years before I went to the Tang Dynasty, they had just destroyed another powerful Turkic Empire next to them. This Turkic Empire was once even stronger than the Tang Dynasty, but after several years of endurance, the Tang Dynasty destroyed the entire Turkic Killer in one fell swoop, and even the Turkic Emperor became a prisoner of the Tang Dynasty!" Bahra said without changing his expression at this time.

The Tang Dynasty was indeed much stronger than Persia and Rome, but Bahra's words were still a bit exaggerated, but he did this on purpose, because he had studied Chiraclio's character before coming and knew that the Roman emperor was old and gradually became addicted to his past achievements and did not intend to make progress. Therefore, he exaggerated the strength of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to use this to hurt the other party, and at the same time it could also increase the weight of Li Shimin's letter to Chiraclio.

"I don't believe that there is absolutely no such powerful empire in this world!" Chiraclius shook his head stubbornly. As the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, he was known as the master of the universe and the eternal supreme (the two names are indeed the nicknames of the Eastern Roman Emperor, and they were definitely not fabricated by Lao Yu). He used to think that the Eastern Empire was at most similar to his own Rome, so he could not believe that the other party was much stronger than him for a moment.

"Your Majesty, when I was on the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty once gave us a batch of weapons. I brought a few of these weapons to you, which can be regarded as gifts to you. You are a lion on the battlefield and have a deep study of weapons. Through these Tang Dynasty's standard weapons, you can definitely see the strength of the Tang army!" At this moment, Bahra spoke again.

"Where are the weapons? Take them to me!" Chiraclio was the founding emperor. He also rushed into Constellation Danteburg from the province of Aphilica, and then fought everywhere, which stabilized the Eastern Roman Empire, which was already on the verge of collapse. Therefore, he had extremely high military attainments and had a deep study of weapons.

With Chiraclio's approval, Bahra immediately waved his hand and asked someone to present the weapons he brought. In a short while, a servant brought several weapons, the most conspicuous of which was an extremely heavy long-handled sword. Chiraclio's eyes were immediately attracted by the sword, because the knife was not only long, but also had one of the most prominent features that the hilt was longer than the blade. In contrast, the Roman dagger they usually used was like a dagger.

"How could there be such a long sword? Are the warriors of the Tang Dynasty all giants?" Chiraclio couldn't help but stand up at this time, strode down the steps and came to the long sword and asked.

"Haha, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not giants. This weapon is called Mo Dao, also known as the Mass Knife. It is a weapon used by heavy infantrymen in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that when on the battlefield, heavy infantrymen using this weapon are arranged in a row and then step forward in unison, causing the Mo Dao to chop with waist force, and even the cavalry will be chopped into pieces in front of them!" Bahra smiled and introduced to Chiracluo.

Hearing Bahra's words, Chiraclio couldn't help but feel curious. He didn't care about his identity and wanted to pick up Mo Dao, but he didn't expect that his hand would sink and he could almost not be able to pick it up. After all, compared to the light Roman dagger, this kind of Mo Dao was simply too heavy. Even the strong Chiraclio felt a little difficult.

Although Chiraclio is old, he is a very strong man. He waved the heavy Mo sword in his hand twice, causing a "huh" sound. Finally, he gently put down and said: "What a heavy Mo sword, no wonder the Tang people call it a horse-slashing sabre. With one blow with all his strength, he can indeed split the war horses!"

Seeing Chiracluo's appearance, Bahra was also secretly proud. In fact, he knew that even in the Tang Dynasty, the number of Modao soldiers was very small, and it was definitely the most elite infantry in the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, there was no Modao among the weapons supported by the Tang Dynasty. This Modao was a gift given to Kawad by Li Shimin as a private identity. As a result, Bahra borrowed it to Chiracluo and also decorated the storefront to show the power of the Tang Dynasty.

"Is this the Tang army's bow and arrow?" At this moment, Chiraclio saw the bow and arrow in the weapon again, and couldn't help but pick it up and look it up, because the Tang Dynasty's bow is a recurved bow, which can store more energy, making the arrow shoot farther away. The bow used by the Romans was more primitive. Similar to the later British longbow, they were all made of a whole piece of wood. Not only did the range be poor, but the bow body was also relatively long, and the power required to draw the bow was also very large.

"Yes, this kind of bow is a standard equipment of the Tang army, and they like to use bows and arrows in a concentrated manner. They have special archers. The most important thing is that this bow has a long range and is very powerful. Your Majesty the Emperor might as well try it out for yourself!" Bahra said confidently again at this time. Persia had fought with Rome all year round, so they naturally knew that Roman bows and arrows were much better than Rome in any aspect.

Chiracli was not polite either. He took out an arrow and put it on the bow, then slowly pulled it away, then suddenly let go of his finger, but a long arrow flew away and finally shot out of the palace gate. This made him gasp because he knew that the best bow and arrow in his army would be difficult to exceed this range.

Next, Bahra introduced other weapons to Chiracluo, including horse lances, Tang swords, and even crossbow arrows. Among them, crossbow arrows also aroused Chiracluo's great interest, because he heard from Bahra that there was a giant crossbow in the Tang army that defended the city. Each crossbow arrow was like a spear, and could penetrate several people with one arrow. However, there were no crossbows in the weapons that the Tang Dynasty supported Persia, and even if there were, Bahra could not bring it here, because the crossbow was too big.

"Please look at His Majesty the Emperor. This is the armor worn by the Tang army. Because the surface of the armor is too bright and can reflect sunlight, it is also called the Mingguang Armor!" Bahra pointed at a very majestic armor with cold light flashing all over his body and introduced.

Chiraclius actually noticed this armor from the beginning, but because Modao was more attractive, he didn't ask. At this time, he heard Bahra's introduction and went up to check the armor again. Compared with other weapons, armor is definitely the most demanding military weapon for craftsmen, and experienced generals can also see the strength of an army from the armor.

It is precisely because of this that Chiraclio also checked very seriously. Finally, he took a battle axe from the guards and slashed the armor a few times. He found that the armor was very strong. Even heavy weapons like the battle axe were difficult to damage the armor. As for the Roman dagger, it was even worse. Of course, from the gaps in some armors, the dagger may also hurt the people in the armor. However, this armor protects the vital key of the body very closely, and even if it is injured, it will not lose its combat effectiveness immediately.

After checking the protection of the Mingguang Armor, Chiracli couldn't help but show a silent expression. Although he was extremely reluctant, from the manufacturing of these weapons and armor, he found that the Tang army did surpass Rome in weapon technology.

"How many such troops are there in the Tang Dynasty?" Chiracluo finally asked again. At this time, he still had a trace of delusion in his heart. If the number of Tang troops was not as large as that of him, then if they really encountered them on the battlefield, they could also rely on their number advantage to win.

"I don't know the number of troops in the Tang Dynasty. However, when they sent troops to attack the Turkic Empire last time, they dispatched 100,000 troops at one time. Before the Tang Dynasty, the Great Sui Dynasty even mobilized a million troops in order to attack an enemy country!" Bahra spoke again.
