Chapter 650: A New Weapon for the Tiger and Par Rider
The best way to deal with cavalry is a strong crossbow, at least the strong crossbow of the Qin and Han dynasties, which is definitely a nightmare for the steppe cavalry. However, the biggest problem is that others can't beat them, so they can turn around and run, but the crossbowmen can't follow, otherwise they will be asking for their own death.
"There are no extra war horses, no more cavalry troops...... Wang Yong went out with Cao Chun, and he suddenly understood why Cao Cao would train elite tiger and leopard horses in history, just because there were no extra war horses.
"Fortunately, now, I can barely get war horses from the Southern Xiongnu and Qiang people, the number is not as good as Yuan Shao, that guy not only gives priority to buying horses from the Southern Xiongnu, but also buys horses from Xianbei, and I am afraid that even Wuhuana has hooked up recently." Cao Chun said with some envy.
After a pause, he looked at Wang Yong, and his tone was full of gratitude: "But the stirrups and horseshoes you gave us are indeed a great help!" ”
The stirrup frees the hands of the cavalry, especially the heavy cavalry, and can really weigh all the weight in the hands. But the horseshoe is obviously more valuable, not to mention the consumption of metal, the key is to make the loss rate of the horse, more than double every year! If you count this cost, whether it is an iron ingot, the later processing fee is also required, which is less than 30% of this amount.
More than seventy percent of the military expenses saved can allow the soldiers to change their clothes, recruit more soldiers, and buy more war horses. If the same military expenditure is paid in this aspect, then the proportion of people's livelihood will be increased, and the people's life will be better.
"That's not the only thing I'm suggesting, are they?" Wang Yong said with a smile.
"Indeed......" Cao Chun smiled mysteriously, because of the abundant funds, the tiger and leopard riders were equipped with more weapons. This time, just let Lu Bu have a good taste!
"On the horizon, the enemy is spotted!" The soldier next to him suddenly shouted, and Cao Chun and Wang Yong's attention immediately shifted to this side.
Lu Bujun was still nowhere to be seen on the horizon, but the billowing sand and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves could be faintly seen. This is a cavalry unit advancing, small in number, no less than three thousand...... No, maybe more!
"Five thousand against five thousand, if we hedge, we are not afraid of them!" Cao Chun had already asked the troops to slow down and prepare to charge, at this time they should maintain their horsepower, and then they only needed about ten meters to run, and then ten meters to accelerate, and the distance of twenty meters before and after, the cavalry could rush out of a high speed.
"It's coming!" Wang Yonghe clenched the long knife in his hand and prepared to charge into battle, he followed behind Cao Chun, in other words, when he encountered the enemy, the first to bear the brunt must be Cao Chun, Cao Chun fell, it was possible that he was the one who fell.
It's a bit unlucky, but what's on the battlefield, who can say for sure?!
Directly ahead, a cavalry quickly killed this side, led by Lu Bu, followed by a smaller figure, Wang Yong probably knew who she was, it was Lu Lingqi's girl at all.
"Scatter!" Lu Bu shouted, the cavalry unit was divided into two, one side was commanded by Lu Bu, and the other side was commanded by Lu Lingqi, and the large army moved directly to the left and right, it seemed that it was intended to be interspersed with dislocation, from the weak places on both sides of the tiger and leopard cavalry, chisel in!
"Move forward, take the shotgun!" Cao Chun shouted, and soon the tiger and leopard riders behind him began to urge the war horse, and at the same time took down a short gun behind his back. The Mitsubishi-shaped tip has a specially processed body to increase friction and prevent slippage.
"Throw!" Cao Chun saw that the large army began to charge forward, "Aim at the enemy troops on both sides, and then, rush forward!" ”
Throwing is not overnight, when the troops in front move to the throwing range, the cavalry on the left and right sides have thrown throwing guns towards the rushing Lu Bu army, no arc is required, although the throwing distance is increased, but the throwing power will be reduced, and the key enemy has been approaching their own army.
"............" Lu Bu was very entangled, Cao Jun's tiger and leopard ride seemed to be more powerful than before, at least with more equipment. It's tricky, and the trickiest part is that she can't open her mouth right now.
The dumb hair on her head beckoned, and it quickly stood up, and she seemed to have made up some kind of determination, and then rushed out with all her might. The Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand immediately swung it, and at an extremely high speed, he actually forced those throwing spears that flew towards them and directly shot them to the ground, at least, a large part.
There were still a lot of fish that slipped through the net and flew into her troops, causing at least dozens of casualties. They are also charging, which means that when they encounter a speeding car, they have to hit it with the accelerator, basically they are directly penetrated, and if they are lucky, they will be left on their bodies, and if they are unlucky, their lives will be taken away......
"Rush!" Lu Bu continued to signal to charge regardless of the lack of strength in his hands, and while Cao Jun's side moved, the people behind him kept throwing guns at them, and even some of the closer ones also threw this thing at them diagonally.
It's tricky, if the heavy cavalry doesn't care, it's a fixed target at all, and even if you have to run, your endurance and speed are not up to scratch. I was ready to break up further after the cutting, but I didn't expect the other party to use this trick.
With a throwing gun, the opponent is equivalent to a medium-distance counterattack, unless you have it on your side, otherwise you have to be careful when you face it. Fortunately, the opponent has only one throwing gun, and it is also, a battle throw, in fact, it can only be thrown once, and the second time, I am afraid that it is not strong, and the conditions do not allow it.
The more guns you throw, the more you put on the cost, the key is that the horses can't stand it with too much weight......
"Yikes!" Lu Lingqi's voice came from the opposite side, which made Lu Bu's pupils shrink suddenly, and a powerful force erupted from her body, which directly entered the explosion ...... No, she was already fried just now, and now she is really explosive!
The idea of wanting to save his daughter, even if he is not his biological mother and daughter, still applies to Lu Bu. In order to confirm Lu Lingqi's safety and rescue her, Lu Bu exploded his potential.
"Kill!" Lu Bu burst into the air and then rushed into the enemy's formation, but the tiger and leopard riders had already adjusted their direction and began to meet them in small groups. Even if it is separated from the main general, with 100 people as a force and the military marquis as the commander, it is also counterattacking very effectively.
"......" Lu Bu couldn't believe it, why was the main general not there, and Cao Jun was still able to command so calmly. She didn't know that after Cao Jun carried out the reform of the military system, he worked hard to train middle and low-level officers, and many of the art of war that could only be learned one after another by at least being promoted to a military marquis are now being studied in a unified organization.
It can be said that the troops of the imperial court, while gradually 'de-privatizing', are also growing rapidly, and the ability of the middle and low-level officers below has begun to surpass this era, and most of the army's military marquis level, even lieutenant officers.
"Is that a surprise?" Unconsciously, Wang Yong rushed to Lu Bu in front of him, "There is something that surprises you even more, in the back!" As for now, how about playing with me?! ”
"............" Lu Bu didn't want to talk nonsense with Wang Yong, so he tried his best to kill the halberd, but in the end Wang Yong blocked it.
In her surprised gaze, Wang Yong gritted his teeth and said to her: "I am also constantly improving!" ”
