Fu Zhu didn't expect that this arrow could really shoot extremely accurately, and one arrow took Kunluo's life. This was the first time Fu had killed an enemy chief on the battlefield, and he swung his longbow vigorously with excitement, his face flushed.

"Kill!" Fu raised his arms and shouted, ordering the men and horses of the headquarters to attack with all their might.

The cavalry of the Shu army was even more spirited, and rushed towards the camp of the Qiang people with all their might.

"Well done!" Liu Yin, who was watching the battle halfway up the mountain, couldn't help but secretly raise his fingers and praise sincerely.

The Fu brothers are young and crowned, and they are already standing side by side with generals like Deng Pu Gaoyuan, serving as the commander of a battalion, and others don't say anything, but they must think that it is Liu Yin, who holds a lot of power, to engage in nepotism and install his brother-in-law in an important position. It is also true that the Fu brothers are young, and they do not have any qualifications other than Liu Yin's recognition of their abilities. And today's battle is undoubtedly a battle for Fu Zhi to correct his name, and it also proves that Liu Yin does have the wisdom to know people, and he does not avoid relatives.

Fu shot and killed the enemy chieftain, the situation on the battlefield was very good, the entire Qiang army was in a rout, and there was no intention to resist anymore, Liu Yin immediately ordered all the cavalry of the Shu army to attack on all fronts to encircle and annihilate the Qiang army.

Although equipped with a Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups, the training of archers was not an easy task, after all, archery on horseback cannot be equated with archery on flat ground, and the art of riding archery is a relatively difficult skill to master after all, and it is really not good to have some talent. Therefore, among the 10,000 cavalry, Liu Yin selected at most 2,000 people and compiled two archers, one for the left and right battalions. The rest of the eight thousand cavalry. All are lancers. It was organized into eight divisions, four for each battalion.

The armament of the cavalry archers was a saber, a shield, a longbow, and fifty arrows as standard, while the armament of the lancers was a bayonet, a saber, a shield, and two short spears for throwing. The way the archers fought was interspersed with roundabouts. Keep a certain distance from the enemy as much as possible, and carry out medium- and long-range strikes against the enemy. The lancers are much more direct in their combat methods, that is, they use the high-speed attack power of the war horses to carry out charging attacks, and tear apart the enemy's defense line with the bayonet guns in their hands.

Equipped with saddle stirrups, the speed of the lancers can be doubled, and the way the spears are held with both hands allows the lancers to increase the strength and method of the bayonet attack, under the strong inertial impact, a cavalry is an attack machine, hundreds of lancers lined up in battle. The power of the attack is simply incomparable. A powerful impact can annihilate everything.

Sure enough, after the lancers began to attack, like a tsunami in the mountains, they poured down from the slopes of the mountain, roaring and pounced on the Qiang camp, and the lancers lined up in a row, just like the tide on the Qiantang River, surging in, the horse's hooves knocked on the ground and found a neat and deafening roar, and even the earth trembled.

The attack of the archers just now has made the Qiang soldiers suffer enough, and now the attack of the lancers seems to be even more fierce, with an unstoppable thunderbolt rushing towards them, and the Qiang soldiers who have no intention of fighting are even more frightened, and have no other thoughts than to rush the way.

This is the inferior nature of the Qiang people, when the war is smooth, these Qiang soldiers are all brave and extraordinary, and once defeated, it is like a plate of loose sand, now the enemy chief is dead, the last bit of cohesion of the Qiang people has also been lost, and the fighting spirit is gone, at this time, I hate my father and mother to give them a pair of wings, and they were not able to fly to the sky, and they all rode their horses and galloped, and they didn't even dare to turn their heads back.

The ensuing battle had become without any suspense, and the cavalry of the Shu army swept the entire battlefield with the momentum of wind and clouds, hunting and killing the fleeing Qiang soldiers in all directions. The speed of the horses on both sides is about the same, but the Shu army is equipped with a high bridge saddle and bilateral stirrups, and the speed and stability are far beyond the Qiang soldiers. In contrast, the cavalry of the Shu army was much more stable on horseback, and no matter how much they made a wide range of movements, they would not easily fall.

The battle soon came to an end, with more than 1,000 Qiang killed, nearly 2,000 captured, more than 3,000 horses, and countless heavy ordnance. The first battle since the westward march was fought crisply.

Fu carried the blood-drenched head of Pi Kunluo, and ran to Liu Yin excitedly, shouting: "Brother-in-law, I caught a big fish, I heard those captives say that this guy is the chief of the Xiqiang Beihe tribe, what is the name of Pi Luo Kun." ”

Liu Yin looked at Fu Zhi who was full of red tide, and was so excited that he danced with his hands, just like a childish child, in fact, Fu Zhi had just reached the crown, strictly speaking, he was really a child, Liu Yin smiled, Fu Zhi was like a brave general who could take the head of the enemy in the army.

"Okay, you're the first thing to do today."

Fu pursed his lips, and said with some unfinished meaning: "I usually hear people say how brave these Qiang people are, but when I see them today, they are not enough." ”

Liu Yin chuckled softly and said, "If you don't have a saddle stirrup equipped, where will you win so easily?" So today's greatest credit, but this Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups. ”

"Yes, this Gaoqiao saddle and bilateral stirrups are really good, I haven't realized its wonders when I was in Duan Gu, I fought with the Qiang people today, the advantage is too obvious, brother-in-law, thanks to the things you have created, there is a big victory today, it is really invincible, whether it is the Qiang people or the Wei people in the future, we can crush it all the way." Fu Yi nodded again and again, praising the Takahashi saddle and bilateral stirrups.

Liu Yin smiled slightly, and ordered: "Order the armies to clean up the battlefield immediately and prepare to march to Xiangwu." ”

Fu took the order and left.

As soon as Liu Yin turned around, he found that Wei Xuewu was looking straight ahead, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, so he said, "Xuewu, why are you so distracted?" ”

Wei Xuewu came back to his senses, with a look of admiration, and said: "I didn't expect that two inconspicuous horse harnesses could play such a big role, and even the Qiang cavalry, which is known as invincible in Western Xinjiang, has become vulnerable. The weakest Ji Han cavalry in the world has become so sharp, general, your hand has turned decay into magic! ”

Just looking at the real thing, this saddle and stirrup are not subtle, and even a little vulgar, but when equipped on horseback, the combat ability shown is extraordinary, and it is no wonder that Wei Xue will be amazed.

It was only a simple improvement, the ordinary saddle was replaced with a Takahashi saddle, and the unilateral stirrup was replaced with a bilateral stirrup, but it was of epoch-making significance, and perhaps after Wucheng Mountain, the cavalry of the world would follow suit, and an era of war dominated by cavalry would also be born.
