In fact, the one-legged stirrup has long appeared, and the highest record of the one-legged stirrup was in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the more strange thing is that the country where the one-legged stirrup appeared was the Chu State. The appearance of the one-legged stirrup was made by the nobles of the Chu State to facilitate the horse, and as for the appearance of the one-legged stirrup and knew that they could borrow it, why not develop a bilateral stirrup...... It's really not clear.

In fact, if you look closely, many of the more than 200 Donghu cavalry remnants after a collision are simply tied to their horses.

Amazing, right? I knew that tying myself to the back of the horse would allow me to stay on the back of the horse more securely, but I didn't think about setting up a "borrowing point" on the horse's back that could be stepped on both sides. He also knew that the horse's hooves would break when he stepped on a stone during the gallop, but he never thought of putting on "boots" for the war horse.

Lu Zhe never had the luxury of hoping to keep the secrets of stirrups and horseshoes forever, and what these little technical things lacked was an inspiration.

That's right, what many useful things lack is a hint of inspiration, and the term is scientific research ability.

In the era of cold weapons, there were not too many types of weapons that exerted scientific research capabilities, that is, crossbow machines and siege equipment, and the appearance of crossbows was precisely one of the most important weapons that could compete with the Hu cavalry in the field after the Chinese tribe lost its war horses.

In Lu Zhe's current era, the Huaxia ethnic group can be said to have no gap with the Hu people in cavalry warfare but have an advantage, because the breeding land still retains the Longxi land, part of the Hetao, and Liaodong land, although it is lost to the grassland Hu people in the production of war horses, but the gap in number is not too much.

Lu Zhe is fully confident that he will keep the original breeding land after dominating the world, and will not lose those breeding lands after the Liu Han regime gains the world. Moreover, the largest ethnic group on the grassland, that is, the Xiongnu penetrated deep into the Qin region, which can be regarded as fate giving Lü Zhe a chance to annihilate the main ethnic group from the original in the "interior". How long will it take for stirrups and horseshoe equipment not to be equipped in such a situation?

The Han cavalry on the Jibei battlefield won the first battle, and more than 1,500 Han cavalry did not evacuate after the battle, but galloped forward to clean up the battlefield. After a little thinking about this aspect of the coalition army, it is not difficult to imagine that it was the Han army in order to keep secrets.

"Order the army to move that way!" Qi Lianfu hid his red eyes: "The surrounding troops are all rushing over, you must discover their secrets!" ”

Han Guang did not agree, he said: "There are more than 7,000 Han cavalry in the field over there, and there are no less than 80,000 Han troops approaching on the frontal battlefield and locally, and it is difficult to maintain other fronts by mobilizing too many troops." ”

Xu Wei forced down to stop what Qi Lianfu was about to say, and nodded at Han Guang: "The Han army is advancing frontally with foot soldiers, and the frontal battlefield is dominated by the Yan army and ......" turned his head to look at Chen Sheng: "You two deal with it together, and our cavalry is wandering on the flanks looking for fighters?" ”

Han Guang glanced at Xu Yu in surprise, and then nodded in agreement. He would have been surprised to find that Qi Lianfu, the leader of the Eastern Hu, seemed to be no stranger to foot warfare, and he was very different from an uneducated Hu man.

Which ethnic group doesn't have a bit of an elite? In history, there is no cultural inheritance of the Hu people, but there are many outstanding people. Otherwise, there would not have been so many times the history of enslavement of the Chinese ethnic groups with the advantage of civilization. Obviously, Xu Xuan is probably one of the heroes of Donghu's era?

The war drums of "Dong Dong Dong-" came from the side of the Han army's battle array, and the foot soldiers stepped forward rhythmically in the drums, and the unified steps stepped out by the 20,000 Han soldiers made a burst of footsteps.

In response, the coalition army also beat the drums of war, but Chen Shengjun in the coalition army was retreating backwards, and it was the Yan soldiers who carried the big shield to make up for it.

In fact, after fighting on the Jishui front line for so long, the Han army's infantry is no stranger to the tactics of the combined army, and the Han army's infantry combat is strikingly similar to the Qin army's infantry combat. That is, at the beginning of the war, it will definitely use the range advantage of the arbalest to cover the endless arrow array, if there is no arguing crossbow, the other side of the battle will be covered by the arrow array and demoralized.

Sure enough, the sound of bangzi was sounded very tightly in the approaching Han army's battle array. Then a "dark cloud" rose from the military formation.

Hoarse "Shield!" The password was shouted out in the coalition battle array, and the Yan soldiers in green robes either panicked or calmly put together one shield after another to form a shield wall, and then the password in the military array became "Enter!" "Enter!" "Enter!" Rhythmic cheers.

A "jingle bell" or the muffled snort and screams of the arrows of the arrows of the Han army fell as the arrows shot by the crossbowmen of the Han army fell, and it was in this situation that the shield wall organized by the Yan army was slowly advancing.

Zeng Xian, a partial general of the Han army who commanded at the front, knew very well what would be behind the enemy's shield array. He began to order his crossbowmen to retreat when the enemy approached a distance of 200 paces, and the Han troops at the front also erected a shield wall at the sound of military orders, and then shouted "Hey! It is also a gesture of imminence.

"How long will it take for the equipment to be assembled?" Zeng Xian followed the crossbowman to the back. In addition to the shield soldiers, there were a small number of crossbowmen and archers with a relatively close range, and the necessary swordsmen were the necessary ones as cover.

One of the commanding officers replied, "At least a quarter of an hour." ”

The equipment unit is so troublesome, it used to be difficult to transport, and it is easy to transport the equipment after improving it to be disassembled, but the assembly process has become a new problem.

The crossbowmen of the Han army retreated in a protective nature, and the arrows flying in the air on the battlefield finally stopped temporarily, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, the Yan army naturally wanted to speed up the pace.

On the side of the coalition army, the Yan army was at the front, Chen Shengjun followed behind, and the cavalry of the Donghu army also began to swim as agreed.

Behind the shield wall of the Yan army were protected crossbowmen, and when they entered the distance of the Han army two hundred paces, there were also bursts of bangzi sounds, and some "throw" commands could be heard vaguely.

In the shield array of the Han army approaching the enemy, a desolate "woo" horn sounded, and the speed of the entire shield array slowed down, and the sound of bangzi also sounded in the formation as soon as it slowed down.

On the battlefield where the infantry faced each other, a "dark cloud" composed of arrows rose almost at the same time in the formations of both sides, and their shooting skills were the same, all of them adopted a throwing posture.

The two sides began to shoot back and forth in an extremely slow rhythm, and the distance between the shield arrays on both sides was constantly narrowed until the two sides approached a distance of fifty paces, and the shield arrays cracked at the same time as if they had made an appointment, and the Han army shouted "The Han army is mighty!" It was the Pu Dao soldiers who rushed out, and it was the Ge spearmen who rushed out of the Yan army in a burst of uneven shouts.

As soon as the shield array cracked, the first soldiers on both sides ushered in a rain of arrows, and then the differences in the types of troops were revealed.

The Han soldiers holding the round shield in one hand and the Pu knife in the other, when they shoot arrows from the enemy, they raise the shield slightly forward on the top of their heads during the run, although it is absolutely impossible to block all the arrows that come from the shot, but there is more or less a means of protection.

The spearmen on the Yan army's side were much more miserable, except for looking at the reaction speed and blocking with the spears in their hands, they really didn't have a shield as armor to block the arrows.

The foot soldiers on both sides of the charge kept falling within a distance of fifty paces, until the foot soldiers on both sides charged up approached twenty paces, and there were finally no arrows flying around in the sky above the battlefield.

When the infantry was about to engage in hand-to-hand combat, the main formations of both armies began to beat the war drums violently, which was to cheer up their own soldiers. If you pay attention, the Han army will also be accompanied by the sound of horns when beating the war drums, which sounds like they are playing some kind of battle array music, and the Yan army is purely a rapid drum beat.

The charging Han army Pu Dao soldiers still lowered their waists to protect their shields in front when they approached the Yan army Ge spearmen, in contrast to the Yan army Ge spearmen who kept shouting during the run, the Han army Pu Dao soldiers remained silent except for the slogan "Han army might" that they had shouted at the beginning.

Charging in silence, fighting in silence, the habit of the Han army is actually a habit brought from the Qin army, and there are corresponding reasons for such a habit, which is nothing more than that the officers on Lu Zhe's side were almost all from the Qin army at the beginning, and then successively incorporated a lot of soldiers from the Qin army, of course, it has a very strong "Qin army color".

The collision between the Han army Pu knife hand and the Yan army Ge spearman began, the first moment the two sides collided was filled with the sound of the shield and the Ge spear, and the most seen picture on the hand-to-hand combat battlefield was the Han army Pu knife hand when he was short and flew the Yan soldier with a shield into the air when he charged.

Han Guang's eyelids jumped as he watched the infantry fight the battlefield, and most of his own soldiers who had been charging up were killed by arrows on the way, and when there was a short-range encounter, they were crowded with people...... It seems that the hand-to-hand combat type of the spear is not as good as the miniature version of the Guan knife of the Han army?

Cold weapon combat is really a situation where people are crowded as soon as the fight begins, and the Han army emphasizes that once the weak battle begins, it will use its own weapons to fight closely, and in such an environment, it is difficult for the spearmen of the Yan army to give full play to the advantages of "one inch long and one inch strong".

The battle on the battlefield of the infantry army was not too intense, and the Donghu cavalry as a match attracted the Han cavalry to follow when they were swimming, and the entire battlefield began to have troops from both sides of the enemy moving.

"General Chen," Han Guang looked at Chen Sheng, who had not given the order for his subordinates to charge forward, "What are you hesitating about?" ”

"......" Can Chen Sheng not hesitate? The Han cavalry won cleanly against the Shangdong Hu cavalry, and the Han army also had an absolute advantage at the beginning of the infantry battle. And the most important thing is not these, it is that he seems to have seen a figure that should never be seen here, and that figure is - Zang Di! (To be continued......)
