Chapter 282: Heavy Armored Cavalry of the Mo Knife Team

Gongsun Chan surrendered, and Yuan Shao had already transferred the main force back to Jizhou.

Zhao Hui also dispelled the idea of attacking Jizhou.

He and Yuan Shao are now holding each other back, and the side that takes the initiative to attack, if there is no good timing, is not as good as the side that defends.

Zhao Hui took the initiative to attack Yuan Shao, so he needed to send troops into Jizhou.

In terms of the supply of grain and grass, it will be in a weak position.

The consumption will also be much higher than Yuan Shao, who is in a defensive state.

Zhao Hui is in Youzhou, but he has always seen the whole world.

He can't lose both with Yuan Shao.

There was no battle for the time being, and Zhao Hui began to prepare to expand the Modao team.

The original Modao team is now basically equivalent to Zhao Hui's personal guard.

Zhao Hui does not move, and these two hundred Mo knife teams will not leave Jicheng.

The new Modao team can't be the same as these two hundred people.

But it must be the strongest force other than these two hundred.

Yuan Shao already had a first-time soldier, and Zhao Hui must have troops that could compete with him.

Although Gongsun Chan surrendered, the battle before the surrender had already made the Xiandeng Dead Man famous.

Whether it is Zhao Hui or Cao Cao, or even Yuan Shu, they all have their own means and can inquire about the affairs of all parties on the battlefield.

Even though the Qingzhou battlefield is far away from Zhao Hui, when they start a war, there will always be Zhao Hui's people who hide in the dark and watch the battle.

The battle between Tai Shici and the Huns, and the confrontation between Zhang Yang, there will also be Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's people, hiding in the dark to observe.

This is unavoidable.

Everyone knows that you have to know yourself and your opponent.

Even if we haven't fought each other yet, there will be a war in the future.

The more you know about the strength of the other princes, the more prepared you will be.

The Mo Dao team in Zhao Hui's hands has now become a pro-guard team, which is the most studied.

Especially Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others.

They all know very well now how big the gap between an elite army and an ordinary army will be.

In many cases, having an elite soldier in hand can change the entire battle situation.

Yuan Shao now has a first-class deceased.

Cao Cao had a tiger and leopard to ride.

Liu Bei, who was in Xuzhou, also helped Tao Qian train a Danyang elite soldier.

If Zhao Hui had only had two hundred guards all along, it would obviously not be enough to see.

The two hundred personal guards, in the face of thousands of first-class deaths, could only retreat.

Unless you have a strong army of equal numbers.

The new Modao team is already in training.

Zhang Wang and Liao Hua are in charge of training supervision.

It is impossible for Zhao Hui to be as frantic as Yuan Shao, and use human lives to pile up an elite army that is not afraid of death.

was newly incorporated into the Modao team, and they were all elites drawn from various armies.

The main purpose of this training is to let them learn the use of Mo Dao, as well as explosive endurance training.

Because they all have foundations, it's not difficult to train.

In addition to these, there will be bow and arrow training, and a small amount of sword training.

Zhao Hui wanted to build these five thousand Mo sword teams into heavy armored cavalry.

It's the kind of heavy cavalry that even wraps their horses in iron.

Such an army, even with only five thousand people, would be a nightmare for all enemies.

However, the cost of building such a heavy cavalry would be huge.

Even if Zhao Hui could come up with the money, he couldn't immediately arm them to the teeth.

Just by forging five thousand Mo Dao iron, all the iron ore that Zhao Hui had left before had been consumed.

If you want such a heavy cavalry, war horses are also very important, and each one must be a first-class horse.

Even so, heavy cavalry can only ride war horses when fighting.

When you are in a hurry, you have to save the physical strength of the war horse at all times.

Zhao Hui wanted to give these 5,000 people, all of whom were executed according to the standard of one person and two riders.

One horse in iron armor is used for battle, and the other is used for ordinary travel.

10,000 high-quality war horses are not easy to get.

So far, Zhao Hui only has 5,000 cavalry in his hands.

Although it was possible to find horses in the steppe, the consumption of cavalry was more than three times that of infantry.

Not only men have to eat, but horses have to eat too.

And horses eat more than human spirits.

Zhao Hui is because he occupies Youzhou, backed by the prairie, and now Xianbei and Karasuma are under his control.

Otherwise, it would be very good to have a thousand cavalry in hand now.

Yuan Shao only has 3,000 cavalry in his hands now.

Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riders are currently only 2,000 people.

10,000 war horses, Zhao Hui wants it now, and he can still come.

However, after being armed into the hands of the 5,000 Mo Dao Team, the money and food that the Mo Dao Team needs every month will be comparable to an army of 50,000 people.

is still in training, and Zhao Hui has only given each person a war horse for the time being.

These 5,000 horses were bought from the Xianbei and Karasuma people at a lower price.

With Zhao Hui becoming Youzhou Mu, the Modao team appeared in front of people.

The Xianbei people also knew that at the beginning, the person who was called the Demon Eagle by them was the current Youzhou Mu.

It's just that even if they knew, they didn't dare to retaliate against Zhao Hui, but they didn't dare to offend Zhao Hui.

In the face of Zhao Hui's request, they did not dare to refuse.

Zhao Hui didn't push them too hard.

The grassland is too big, and if they really want to be enemies of Zhao Hui, it will also be a very troublesome thing.

In particular, Zhao Hui's current focus has begun to bias towards the interior of the Han Dynasty.

On the grassland, he can only pay more attention and guard against them, and he doesn't have much strength to deal with them.

If Zhao Hui shifted his focus to the grassland now, Yuan Shao would not tell him anything about friendship.

As long as Yuan Shao sees the opportunity, Yuan Shao will immediately lead his troops to attack Youzhou.

The newly formed 5,000 Mo Sword Team, although they were all elite soldiers before, most of them were infantry before.

Now that the horses have arrived, they have added one more riding training to their daily training.

Each horse was saddled with stirrups, and it was not too difficult for these elite soldiers to ride a horse, but they had to get used to the method of exerting force right away.

Some people ride on war horses, and their power can be doubled.

And some people ride on war horses, but they can't even play their original strength.

There are 5,000 people, and they are conducting various trainings every day, even if they are already elite soldiers before, they still have a lot of shortcomings, and they can continue to improve.

Horse armor is also being built, and the cost of building a set of horse armor is more expensive than a set of ordinary soldiers' armor.

The armor of ordinary soldiers only protects the vital parts of the body, and there is not much iron used.

And the armor of the five thousand Mo sword team is even more precious.

Each set, from head to toe, fully armed the soldiers.

The helmet covers the entire head and is equipped with a visor that can be pulled down.

The chest armor, arm guards, leg armor, and even the shoes on the feet are iron boots.

This set of armor requires more cost and energy than a set of horse armor.
