Chapter 630

In fact, the origin of heavy cavalry was the period of Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties. During this period, the barbarians and nomads in the north of the Yangtze River moved southward and occupied the vast territory north of the Yangtze River. They relied on the armour and riding equipment with strong impact force and armored men and horses. The heavy cavalry swept both sides of the Yellow River like a whirlwind, beating the weak defenders of the Jin Dynasty.

In modern times, the tank broke through the front in an irresistible state with the body of steel, while the infantry moved slowly behind the tank.

The heavy cavalry was the ancient tank.

However, heavy cavalry can not only Assault Infantry, but also light cavalry.

"Think about it." Liu Ye boldly said: "the biwuhuan cavalry came to invade China in a large scale, and I broke through with armour and riding gear, just like the steel wall advancing layer by layer, destroying the withered and decaying. How dare not the Wuhuan soldiers be frightened?"

In the minds of the generals, there were pictures of the attack with armour and riding equipment. It seemed that the victory was near at hand.

"Good!" Ma Chao excitedly said: "if the Lord does not give up, Ma Mengqi is willing to lead the armed forces to fight against the enemy front and capture the head of tuodun!"

Liu Ye nodded approvingly: "well, in this case, Meng Qi will be responsible for the task of commanding armour's riding equipment."

Ma Chao is brave and has excellent martial arts skills, and armour and riding gear are well-known for their impact force. What they pay attention to is that they can break ten associations with one force. No matter who you are, I just need to hit them at one breath and break everything.

"Although the armour riding equipment has not yet been used in the war, it will surely become famous in the world after breaking through Wuhuan." Ma Dai stepped forward and said, "please give me the name of the armour and riding gear."

"Well." Liu Ye pondered for a while, and then said, "the armor, riding equipment, men and horses are all wearing armor. It's like riding a mountain on your back, which is irresistible. In this case, let's call it the negative Yue army. "

"Please rest assured Ma Chao stepped forward and said boldly: "on the day of the decisive battle, Chao will surely live up to his expectations and lead the army of negative Yue to defeat the enemy."

During the military parade at Pingle Temple of Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, although the armour and riding equipment were displayed, there were not many visitors, so it was not exposed.

As a matter of fact, although Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty displayed the armour and riding equipment of a thousand people during the military parade, they had never participated in the war. Therefore, until now, the princes in the world have not been able to organize any heavy cavalry troops. It was not until the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties that Jiaqi, with its huge impact, crossed the north of the Yangtze River and crushed the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.

When the time comes, I think the armour must be equipped with riding gear, and it will be able to make a big splash.

"When Boan's Navy transported 1000 horse armor, they immediately installed it on the horses to prevent the cavalry from training and adapting to the armour and riding gear." Liu Ye said: "Meng Qi, you should train well these days and don't let down the expectation of this general. Do you understand?"

Ma Chao promised: "please rest assured that the general will live up to his trust."

Liu Ye nodded: "well, Wuhuan cavalry are all one man and two horses. The speed of going south is very fast. Let's hurry up."

He left without saying goodbye these days. He specially circled a piece of land just for these two things. The successful development of horseshoe can prolong the service life of war horses, while the use of armour and riding equipment greatly increases the impact force of war horses. Under the combination of the two, the "iron pontu" of the Han Dynasty will soon be released.

Zhao Yun sighed with admiration and said, "the general is really a gifted genius. These days cloud has been amazing in the army. This armour is equipped with equipment, both men and horses are equipped with armor, and the bows and arrows can not be added. Besides, it can not last for a long time, and there are few weaknesses to speak of. "

If one of the princes in the late Han Dynasty was most skilled in the use of cavalry, it was probably Gongsun Zan, who was known as the white horse general. Gongsun Zan is located in Youzhou, which is the land of prolific horses. He trained a Youzhou iron horse with "white horse Yicong" as the core, which swept the world.

However, the myth that Bai Ma Yi was invincible was broken in the battle of Jieqiao.

Qu Yi, an intrepid general from Xiliang who went to Yuan Shao, led more than 1000 soldiers to climb the dead first, hiding bows and crossbows. When baimayi arrived, they suddenly started to shoot arrows. At that time, Zhao Yun had already gone to Yuan Shao and witnessed the destruction of baimayi. His natural memory is very deep.

"Not bad." Liu Ye exclaimed: "the armour has strong impact and good defense. The only drawback is that it can't last long. Otherwise, it will be popular in the world."

It's enough to be tired to carry a man on the horse's back. This man has to be armored with the horse, which is equivalent to a load of dozens of Jin. The fat and strong horse can't bear it. In fact, the elimination rate of ancient war horses was very high, not to mention that the battlefield was killed, only a few of them were killed on the March.

For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, in order to improve the speed of March and reach 200 Li a day, the cavalry of the Eight Banners in Manchu and Qing Dynasty beat their horses to death.

This is also the only drawback of armour mounted equipment. After all, it is not a real tank. As long as the tank has enough fuel, it will be OK to drive it all day and night. However, war horses are not good. They are animals with limited physical strength and poor durability.

"But it's enough to break down the Wuhuan cavalry." Liu Ye said bluntly: "in this war, we must fight the Wuhuan people. They are going to chase after subjugation. They dare not invade the border for 20 years."All the generals were excited when they heard the speech and said: "Wansheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The morale of thousands of Liangzhou iron cavalry is also high. They shout and shout. They hit the ground with their horses and heads in their hands. Their poles poke on the ground, making a sound like a rainstorm shaking the earth, with a powerful voice.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun can't help but lift his arm and blend into the exciting atmosphere.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng

Thousands of people yelled in unison. The sound spread ten miles away. It was like thunder in the clear sky. Some small animals that lived nearby were scared to flee. Why did the beast come.

"The heart of the army is available." Liu Ye nods with satisfaction.

During the next few days, the Xiliang iron cavalry in the camp was selected from the best, and a thousand of the bravest and skillful knights were selected and selected into the negative Yue army. Liu Ye also specially sent out five stones of grain and grass to everyone, and told the whole army: if anyone has the ability to challenge the knights in the negative Yue army and win, he can take his place.

After hearing this, the disheartened Xiliang soldiers, who were not selected, were in great spirits, and they were all rubbing their hands to challenge those in the army. The Liangzhou soldiers, who have been selected into the negative Yue army, dare not be careless and practice their martial arts carefully. If they are defeated by the other side, they will not go out in dismay?

For a while, a benign challenge atmosphere was formed in the Xiliang cavalry, and the enthusiasm of soldiers in training was greatly improved.
