The White Horse Yicong is a unit trained by Gongsun Chan in the process of fighting with foreign races. This unit was fundamentally trained to restrain the light cavalry of the alien races of the north.

Only light cavalry could restrain them. Far beyond the movement speed of ordinary cavalry, the speed of shooting, and the ability to shoot a salvo with one hand, so that Bai Ma Yi was invincible in the process of fighting with aliens, and became a devil in the eyes of all aliens.

However, this invincible white horse righteous servant against foreign races, in the face of Yuan Shao's heavy infantry and archers, there was a faint feeling of being restrained.

In the original Battle of the Boundary Bridge, although Bai Ma Yicong looked like he was at ease with the halberd warriors who slaughtered Yuan Shao on the battlefield, it was because there was an absolute gap in the strength of the two sides. At that time, the Euphorbia was just a newly formed army, and its combat effectiveness was not enough compared to Bai Mayi at its peak.

And now, after such a long time, Yuan Shao's halberd warriors have experienced the baptism of blood donation, coupled with continuous training, and the combat effectiveness has improved by no means of an ordinary number. And the White Horse Yicong is the opposite, the top elite is not so easy to train, and the White Horse Yicong, who was almost wiped out by the regiment back then, is now greatly reduced. The two sides really fought, and even if Bai Ma Yicong could win, it was estimated that he would have to break his bones.

Gongsun Zhan knew very well in his heart that his white horse righteousness was not so invincible in the Central Plains. Especially in large-scale battles, the role played is probably not as great as that of the Euphorbia.

And with these horse armor, it is different, as an elite light cavalry, Bai Ma Yi can directly turn into a heavy cavalry charge according to demand. Strengthens defense and impact, and the role in large-scale battles is greatly increased. As for reducing the speed by that point, it doesn't matter at all. With the speed of the white horse Yicong, it is equipped with heavy armor, and the speed is far beyond that of ordinary light riders.

And when horse armor is equipped, the threat and hindrance of bows and arrows and ordinary infantry is greatly reduced. Heavy cavalry is good at frontal assault, while light cavalry is good at edge obs. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the light cavalry was also the charge of the heavy cavalry, and there was basically no real armored cavalry, because the cost of horse armor was too expensive, so what should I do with that spare money?

Gongsun Zhan had already discovered Bai Ma Yicong's flaws in the battle against Yuan Shao. No matter how strong the light cavalry is, it is also a light cavalry, it is easy to be stopped by the infantry, and it is easy to be injured under the random arrows. But the heavy cavalry is different, the superior defense can ignore the ordinary bow and arrow, the powerful impact can ignore the ordinary foot soldiers, as long as it does not hit the chariot like before, it is basically unstoppable.

Gongsun Chan also had the idea of converting Bai Ma Yi from horse armor to heavy cavalry, but this was completely unrealistic because he had no money. The price of horse armor was not something he could afford. Three thousand excellent horse armor, even Yuan Shao can't take it out.

But Yuan Shu is not short of money!

To put it mildly, Yuan Shu is now poor and has money left!

These three thousand horse armor are a drop in the bucket for Yuan Shu, and they will come back in two or three days.

"Zhengnan, it seems that we can really surprise Yuan Shao this time!" Gongsun Chan said confidently.

"That's right, my lord, I'm afraid we're really big this time." Tian Yu muttered in a low voice.

Three thousand heavy cavalry, in this era when light cavalry can be used as heavy cavalry and heavy infantry is very scarce, is simply a big killer. It is tantamount to a tank group on the battlefield of World War I, and the opponent is invincible when he is unprepared.

。。。。。。

"I said, my lord, that's three thousand horse armor! Even if the quality is poor, it won't be given to Gongsun Chan in vain! It would be nice if you gave it to me! ”

Jinling, Zhengbei General's Mansion, Wei Yan complained rather resentfully.

Yuan Shu looked at this goods speechlessly: "Don't you already have three thousand heavy horses under your command?" Why, it's not enough! ”

"Who is too many of these big killers! If you give me 20,000 heavy rides, I dare to fight with Ju Yi. Wei Yan muttered quietly.

Ever since he had seen the terrifying power of the heavy cavalry that had been formed into a formation, Wei Yan had completely liked this type of troops. He was already good at sneak attacks, coupled with the heavy cavalry that was like thunder and like a bamboo, the power of the sneak attack was really terrifying. Ever since he discovered this, Wei Yan was eager to replace all his soldiers with heavy cavalry.

"Really? Why don't we try it? Ju Yi turned his head sideways, glanced at Wei Yan expressionlessly, and said in a low voice.

"Huh! Just kidding, just kidding! Wei Yan whispered with a smile.

In other words, even if there were really 20,000 heavy horses, Wei Yan didn't dare to argue with Ju Yi. I've been abused too many times, and I've already cast a shadow.

"Enough! The lord is above, what kind of system have you two become like this! Tian Feng on the side watched the two of them chatting in a low voice, and shouted angrily.

Wei Yan and Ju Yi saw that Tian Feng was angry, and hurriedly looked at his nose and nose, and recovered his appearance as a good baby.

You must know that Tian Feng and Fu Yu are the big men in charge of armaments and logistics, and they have to look at the eyes of these two people for military spending, materials, equipment and welfare, who they can't get along with, they can't get along with Tian Feng!

Seeing this, he couldn't help but stand up and play a round: "Wen Chang, the lord naturally has a reason to do this. Heavy cavalry is certainly powerful, but the shortcomings are also obvious, the function is single and inflexible, it is better to equip a small amount, and too much is useless. ”

As for the problem of the high cost of heavy cavalry, Fu Zhi directly ignored it. Now all the strategists under Yuan Shu have a consensus, the problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and there is no shortage of money if everything is lacking.

"Thank you for your doubts! Please also ask the lord to forgive the sin, it is reckless! Wei Yan hurriedly hugged his fists.

Yuan Shu waved his hand indifferently, he was used to this group of thorns. Thinking about Cheng Biting Jin and Wei Chigong under Li Shimin, Yuan Shu felt much more comfortable, and there was still a Tian Feng under his command who could suppress these people.

"Lord, the battle of Northern Xinjiang is imminent, this battle is very important, and it basically determines the next situation in Hebei, should we help Gongsun Zhan?" Tian Feng said.

"I'm afraid that Gongsun Chan is unwilling to accept our help." Guo Jia said casually.

Tian Feng frowned: "Fengxiao, what do you mean by this?" ”

Guo Jia casually picked up the wine jug on his waist and took a sip of wine: "Yuan Hao, do you know what kind of person Gongsun Chan is?" ”

"Gongsun Zhan is a person who is upright and rebellious, believes in force, and is a person who would rather bend than bend." Jia Xu said calmly.

"Our previous help to Gongsun Chan was an ally and mutually beneficial in his most difficult time. And this time is different, direct assistance, I'm afraid Gongsun Chan will not accept it. ”

"What's more, if it is to send troops to help, how many reinforcements should be sent? Who is in charge? How should the two sides cooperate? Can Gongsun Chan trust and accept us? ”

Faced with Guo Jia's series of questions, Tian Feng was silent.

"Okay, speculating on people's hearts is not Yuan Hao's forte, since the two of you think so clearly, let's talk about your thoughts directly!" Yuan Shu directly interrupted.

"Help, you must help. Otherwise, Gongsun Zhan is not Yuan Benchu's opponent at all, and the background of the fourth and third princes and the Hebei family is not just so simple. Now that Yuan Shao has condensed the strength under his command, this force is by no means something that Gongsun Chan can resist, and this must be the most clear to the lord. Guo Jiadao.

Yuan Shu nodded. What Gongsun Chan relies on is nothing more than the white horse's righteousness, and the rest is not to worry about at all. And for Yuan Shu, it is a bit difficult to get rid of Baima Yicong, but there are too many ways to limit its power. Yuan Shu didn't believe that Yuan Shao couldn't think of a move, otherwise this world-class model brother would be too disappointing to him.
