Chapter 843: Cavalry

Li Xiaoqi looks very delicate, his skin is also white and clean, he is a freak in the cavalry battalion, and everyone else is as if he has rolled in the coal kiln, but he seems to be unaffected. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

So this white Li Xiaoqi was in the army, and naturally became the object of ridicule, but no one thought that Li Xiaoyi, who spoke softly on weekdays, would answer the other party with his fists whenever he met someone who dared to make fun of him.

He is very delicate and speaks very delicately, but the problem is that his fists are very hard. When the men who claimed to be big men like black charcoal were beaten by him and their noses were swollen, everyone automatically ignored his skin color and his voice.

Because the army still relies on strength to speak, Li Xiaoqi not only has hard fists, but also excellent horse skills, fighting on horses seems to be more convenient for him than landing on the ground with his feet, and he is like walking on the ground on horseback.

Li Xiaoqi'er rose very quickly, a character like him with outstanding complexion and a little red in the green bushes is easy to attract people's attention wherever he goes, giving people a very deep image, and it is easier for people to remember him is that he has a good skill in shooting.

Yu Chao's wind-chasing battalion is equipped with a horse lance and a knife, but he does not wear a bow and arrow, because for the cavalry, it is indeed a big problem to bend the bow and arrow on the horse's back and shoot accurately. But Li Xiaoqi can, he can not only shoot on the horse, but also play tricks on the horse.

With these blessings, Li Xiaoqi quickly stood out from the ordinary soldiers and became a captain officer with 500 cavalry, and his 500 cavalry was the leader of the entire wind-chasing battalion.

Riding the horse slowly, Li Xiaoqi was very beautiful in his heart. After this battle, as long as he can survive, he will be promoted. The boss of the Wind Chasing Battalion said to himself that the emperor had taken a fancy to his own running and shooting skills, and after winning this battle, he would transfer himself to form another cavalry unit, and the requirement was that everyone in the newly built cavalry unit could have their own running and shooting skills.

The chief officer of the first battalion of cavalry, can Li Xiaoqi not be beautiful? That's on an equal footing with Boss Yu.

The ground trembled slightly, and there was smoke and dust in the sky rolling up and rushing straight into the sky, Li Xiaoqi raised a hand, and the entire cavalry team stopped, and a black line appeared in the sky, and the black line quickly approached them.

"Qi State Cavalry!" One of the soldiers shouted.

Li Xiaoqi took a deep breath, the other party came extremely fast, and the number was roughly the same as his own, so it was naturally the vanguard of the opponent's cavalry.

"Prepare to charge!" He stretched out a fist and touched the fist of the lieutenant next to him: "Survive!" He said loudly.

Turning around, the fists of the two collided with the people behind them: "Brother, survive!" ”

One by one, the soldiers boxed with their comrades-in-arms, and there were no grandiose words, only three simple words: "Survive." ”

None of them are recruits, but veterans who have experienced many major battles, especially the one against the cavalry of the Qin State, which made everyone realize what it is to walk on the edge of life and death. Only after experiencing that moment will you realize that surviving is the most important thing.

Li Xiaoqi hung the horse lance on the hook on the side of the saddle, and the equipment of the cavalry of the Chasing Wind Battalion, as Qin Feng had always pursued, did not seek the best, but only better. Everyone is not wearing leather armor, but a steel armor, the whole set of armor is not heavy, it is more than ten pounds, this kind of armor looks extremely thin, but the protection is quite perfect, Li Xiaoqi had heard Yu Chao talk about this kind of armor with those craftsmen who sent the equipment, and I heard that it is made of manganese steel, which not only prevents knives and spears, but also prevents heavy weapons from smashing.

This point, Li Xiaoqi is deeply aware of this, the general armor is difficult to defend against heavy weapons such as maces, iron bones, hammers, etc., but this new type of armor can effectively resist the bombardment of this kind of crit, a hammer down, ordinary armor into a big pit, but this new armor is only a small damage, for soldiers, it is a life-saving thing.

This kind of armor made of manganese steel is now only equipped with cavalry, I heard that the output can't keep up, mainly because of the manganese or something, it's difficult to get out, Li Xiaoqi doesn't understand, he only knows that this manganese steel armor is much better than the previous armor.

Horse lance, ring head knife is standard, after the Qin Ming War, they have another weapon that has both offense and defense. Each person has a small round shield, hanging on the other side of the saddle, the same is also manganese steel, the edge of the small round shield is smooth like a knife, it can be used for protection, it can also hurt the enemy when swinging, when attacking, whether the right hand is holding a horse plastic or a ring head knife, the small round shield of the left hand can play a great role in protecting the soldiers.

The Ming cavalry began to trot and accelerate, and Li Xiaoqi took the longbow from his back. The bow he used in the past has long been thrown away, and now his bow is specially customized, which is also a privilege of the generals of the Ming army, according to the needs of the generals, specially designed for you by the arsenal, and make weapons suitable for you. Li Xiaoqi used to be an ordinary iron bow, even if he had strong arm strength, he would shoot seven or eight arrows at most, and his arms would be sore, and on the battlefield, he would generally shoot three arrows at most, otherwise his arm would be sore, how would he fight the next battle?

But the newly ordered bow and arrow completely subverted his cognition, the longbow that looked extremely powerful was completely effortless to pull up, and it was easy to pull away, and the secret was in the small structures on the bows on both sides that he couldn't understand, and the people in the arsenal called it a compound bow.

Li Xiaoqi had already made up his mind, and when he went to form a new cavalry battalion, this compound bow must be in everyone's hands. Now I heard that this thing is expensive, but after a year or two, the cost of this bow will inevitably be reduced, and those masters in the arsenal are very powerful.

Now the army gives a thumbs up to those guys in the arsenal as long as they mention it, and those guys just want it! The things developed not only greatly increased their combat effectiveness, but also multiplied their protective capabilities.

Of course, everyone is more grateful to His Majesty the Emperor, like them, these cavalrymen, their equipment is converted into silver, which can really frighten people.

The shouts of the Qi cavalry on the opposite side were already clearly audible. Li Xiaoqi sneered, "Damn, I came from a long distance, and I don't know how to save horsepower, so I will make you look good." ”

"Guns, shields!" He roared.

The five hundred cavalry formed a triangular pyramid-shaped attack arrow, with Li Xiaoqi at the forefront.

Four hundred steps, three hundred steps, the two sides quickly approached.

"Volt!" The front chest of the cavalry is almost attached to the horse's back, don't underestimate this small action, but it can make the war horse gain a lot of speed ability.

Two hundred steps, Li Xiaoqi pulled out the bow, swishing arrows, one after another, and in a blink of an eye, seven or eight arrows went out. He shoots horses, not people.

The cavalry on the opposite side was also very well-equipped, and they were actually dressed in iron armor. Shooting people is not very effective, but shooting horses is very different.

The arrow arrived, the horse fell, and there was a rush on the opposite side.

"Up." Li Xiaoqi carried the bow on his back, held the lance in one hand, and held the shield in the other.

The sun shines from the east, and Li Xiaoqi They came from the west, it stands to reason that Li Xiaoqi's Ming cavalry is at a loss, because the sunlight will block their vision, but this time, it is very different, the face of the small round shield, the shield surface as smooth as a mirror, actually reflected a beam of light and shot at the Qi cavalry on the opposite side.

No one thought that there would be such an effect, and Li Xiaoqi himself did not expect it.

This reflection of the sun, causing confusion to the cavalry on the opposite side, was actually more effective than his own arrows.

The two sides were already very close, they were both holding the guns in their hands tightly, staring at the enemy on the opposite side, no one thought that at the moment when the Ming cavalry pulled up the shield, countless bright rays of light reflected from the shield, and in an instant, the cavalry at the front of the Qi army on the opposite side could see nothing in their eyes.

They subconsciously closed their eyes.

The cavalry hedged, and life and death were in a flash.

The moment they closed their eyes, the Ming army had arrived.

The Ming army used Ma Shuo, this is an expensive weapon, even if he is improved by skillful hands, but a horse lance used by ordinary soldiers still takes several months to manufacture, and the cost is as high as fifty taels of silver, even if it is the Qi State, they can't afford such a cost, because they have more soldiers. There is no such concept as Qin Feng.

The Ming army using the horse lance is held at the tail of the horse lance, and the important thing is that it doesn't take too much strength to lift the horse lance flat, while the cavalry gun used by the Qi army can only keep the gun balanced by holding it in the middle of the cavalry lance, and the people who can hold it at the tail and keep the gun balanced in an impact posture can only be done by those guys with strong arms, but how many such people can there be in a troop?

It is the length of these few feet, in the hedging of the cavalry, that represents the distance between life and death.

The muffled sound sounded, and a horse lance easily broke through the enemy's breastplate and pierced into the enemy's chest.

The horse lance bent into a great arc, but it was not broken, the Ming cavalry shouted loudly, continued to rush forward, and the Qi cavalry flew off the saddle, shook their hands, and pulled out the lance.

A hedge, the cavalry of the Qi army lay down for a small half, and the two sides were glued together, whether it was a horse lance or a cavalry gun, it was not needed in a short time.

Without any pause, the Ming army waved the round shield in their left hand, although it was a shield, but let his edge rub against each other, still dead or wounded.
