Murong Nan laughed and pointed to the two secondary weapon hooks in front of his saddle: "Whether you can live or not, you can rely on these." ”

Liu Yu took advantage of the situation and saw that on the two hooks, there were several kinds of weapons hanging, in addition to the saber he had just drawn, there were two iron hammers more than four feet long, a leather band about six feet long, coiled together, and on the other side of the saddle, there was an arrow bag hanging on the back of the side of the saddle, and fifty long-rod wolf's tooth arrows, all of which were in it.

Murong Nan pulled the saber back into the scabbard, picked up another hammer, and waved it a few times in the air, "See, after rushing into battle, even if you don't have a lance in your hand, but relying on these sabers and hammers, you can still smash people, and some powerful warriors simply hang a five- or six-foot-long mace, and as soon as you smash this thing, your head will bloom." ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "That's it, if you rush into the formation, it's not easy for the infantry to raise their lances and stab indiscriminately, because people are close together, the distance is too close, and they can often only draw out waist knives, big axes, and short lances These auxiliary weapons to fight, your hammer is very competent." On the battlefield, if the sword is notched and curled, on the contrary, these blunt weapons will not be deformed and can be used all the time. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu looked at the long rope and frowned: "Is this long rope used to tie up prisoners?" Isn't it too long, if you want to tie someone, two feet is enough, you don't need six feet. ”

Murong Nan smiled and picked up the long rope, Liu Yu found out that the head of the rope was actually a one-foot square ring, only to see Murong Nan waved it on his head with a long rope, the ring was like spinning on his head, after a few swings, he threw it forward suddenly, "snapped", and hit a wooden stake on the side of the road.

After Murong Nan ran for more than ten steps, he ran back in a small circle: "See, this is called a lasso, not used to tie people, it is used to set people's clothes, the knights on the other side's horses, the infantry under the horse, give such a set, and then collect it, it will be tied up alive, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you will tie your hands and feet, ride a horse and drag it, and ten lives will be gone." ”

Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's easy to set a wooden stake, but it's difficult to set a person, if you really want you and me to fight and see each other, you want to trap me, I'm afraid it's not so convenient." ”

Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Your martial arts skills are high, your reaction is fast, and it is not easy to trap, but it is difficult for other ordinary soldiers to avoid it, and on the battlefield, there may be attacks from all directions, even if it is you, maybe when you defend against arrows, you will give one or several nooses to the circle." Liu Yu, there are times when a hundred generals stumble, don't be overconfident. ”

Liu Yu secretly said in his heart, if there are dozens of people on this battlefield, there is really no way to defend themselves, and it seems that this horse ring can not only be used to trap people, but also to put on the horse in front of the battle, antlers These props to prevent the impact of cavalry, if you give such a set and then pull, the defense in front of the formation will be completely invalid, it seems that my Dajin infantry has a way to defend, and the Hu people also have a way to crack it.

Liu Yu nodded, and turned to look at the quiver: "The quiver is easy to understand, you need to gallop on the horse, and one quiver may be a little less." ”

Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Of course, when fighting, there must be at least two, usually three, so as to ensure that there will be no lack of bows and arrows in a battle, as for the big bow, it is naturally carried on the body, like now." ”

Liu Yu smiled and looked at the big bow on Murong Nan's back, which looked about four feet long, with a bow power of up to four stones and two buckets, and three beast tendons: "With such a big bow, do you have the strength to send one hundred and fifty arrows in one battle?" I'm afraid that more than 40 arrows will come down, and the strength will not be enough. ”

Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "There are skills in pulling a bow and releasing arrows on a horse, sometimes you can use the momentum of a horse, and besides, we northerners take the world by riding and archery, and we have practiced this since childhood, even women and children are proficient in shooting, and it is not strange that all three bags of arrows are shot on the battlefield." ”

Liu Yu knew that he was not bragging, nodded, and looked at a round wooden shield with a diameter of about two feet behind his back: "This shield should be carried behind your back, if you have a bow and arrow in your hand, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it off." ”

Murong Nan Zhengse said: "Yes, our one is a back shield, which is generally not taken off, when your Han army is arrayed, it always holds a shield in the front row and a shield in the back row, and puts out a phalanx like a turtle shell to prevent arrows, but when we northerners attack on horses, we are not in formation, and we often lie on horseback, so when the arrows fall, they hit our backs, and we have to rely on this big shield to defend ourselves." ”

Liu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief: "I see, no wonder I saw your equipment very strange at first, but when I heard you say this, it was all prepared for battle." But can this shield alone stop the rain of arrows in the sky? Even if you can block it, how can a horse defend against arrows? ”

Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Liu Yu, have you ever heard of the armor and cavalry?" ”

Liu Yuqi said: "The armor and cavalry are all outfits, it is the world-famous cavalry of your Murong family, I have heard of it before, but I don't know what is going on, is it to let the horses also put on armor?" ”

Murong Nan nodded, and pointed to his mount: "Yes, on the battlefield, it is not enough to be fully armed, experienced soldiers know the truth of shooting people first and horses, so to fight for a long time, horses also need to wear armor, our Murong family started in Liaodong, proficient in iron smelting, and over the past few hundred years, we have figured out a set of ways to wear armor for horses, which is called armor and cavalry." ”

"The standard horse armor of our Murong family consists of six parts: the face curtain; chicken neck; When the chest; horse body armor; After the ride; Parasitism. The "face curtain" is a long, narrow metal cover with eye holes on it, which mainly protects the horse's face; The "chicken neck" is actually a pair of armor on the neck of a horse, which is made of armor pieces and has a buckle in front that can be buckled; When the chest; horse body armor; After riding, it is a large piece of armor in the middle and back of the horse; Parasite, on the other hand, is a straightened broomstick-like thing placed on the horse's tail to protect the horseman's back. ”

Murong Nan said while gesturing, Liu Yu nodded again and again, and his brows gradually wrinkled: "If you plan according to the armor we are wearing, this set of vests alone will weigh hundreds of catties, and the horse itself has already carried a person of nearly two hundred catties, can you still carry this vest?" If it's a long-distance run, how do you walk in this body? ”
