Heavy cycling is not fast.

Whether it is the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Wei Dynasty, heavy cavalry is an important branch of the army, this kind of cavalry actually rushed into the battlefield, will cause a terrible crushing situation to the general cavalry and infantry army, just because of the weight of its own problem, only special breeds of military horses can bear.

The heavy armored military horses are very strong, the heavy cavalry military horses of the Northern Wei Dynasty are generally called "Qingzhuo", and the heavy cavalry military horses of the Southern Dynasty are generally produced in Da'e County, these military horses have strong explosive force, and the sprint speed and strength in short distances are amazing, with the strength of the heavy cavalry itself, it can easily knock off ordinary cavalry.

However, the endurance of this military horse is not as good as that of many bantam breeds, so it must be rested every once in a while, and even the armor on its body must be removed, otherwise the horseshoe and feet will be damaged in just a few days.

However, in Lin Yi's opinion, this heavy cavalry army seems to have too much time to rest, the same section of the road, the same heavy cavalry may only need to rest five times, but this heavy cavalry army has at least seven rests.

Thinking carefully about the demeanor of this "Fang Persimmon" when he talked to Qi Zhuji before, Lin Yi couldn't help but maliciously speculate that this "Fang Persimmon" was afraid of war in his heart, and it was best to connect with the army that transported the ordnance before, and the army that transported the army had already been taken care of by the Northern Wei army.

In fact, in his perception, this Fang Taihuai, who was called "Fang Persimmon" by Qi Zhuji, his cultivation should also be enough to reach the middle level of the Chengtian Realm, and in the border army, this kind of cultivation can be regarded as high. In Lin Yi's mind, this kind of cultivator should also be a minority.

Among the cultivators he had seen before, if he had cultivated to a certain level, he would naturally have a certain amount of mental energy, and he would not be so weak.

However, even if his guess about this heavy cavalry general was correct, this "Fang Persimmon" was destined to be disappointed.

More than two hours later, more than 200 light horsemen and more than 100 infantry coachmen appeared in their sight.

The marchers stopped at a pond on the side of the road, ready to set up camp, when they suddenly saw the heavy cavalry and the Tiece army turning at the bend of the road on one side, and a light cavalry general led by them was overjoyed and drove his horse to meet them.

The general of the light cavalry army did not expect that in addition to the hundreds of heavy cavalry reported in the military situation, there were several times more Tie Ce army than the heavy cavalry, and Lin Yi's official rank was originally much higher than him, so he was extremely polite to Lin Yi and the others.

His cavalry army belonged to the Zhenwu Army of Nanping County, but Lin Yi saw that their horses were all equipped with quivers, and they should all be good at riding and archery, which was rare among the local armies.

The attitude of the heavy cavalry of the Lan Huaigong Department towards Lin Yi and the others was still lukewarm, and even a little indifferent.

Most of the border armies will look down on the local army, in their case, they are of course the orthodox military force representing the Southern Dynasty, and the local army, including the Tiece army, is a miscellaneous army, just a local rebellion, and some scattered horse thieves and suppression of some troublesome peasant households.

Lin Yi originally had no interest in this heavy cavalry, but when he saw that this light cavalry army was polite, he talked to several generals led by him.

There were more than 30 carriages escorted by this column, and when Lin Yi was greeting these generals, he sensed that his face changed slightly, and seven of them were draped in thin black gauze, and the sound of countless thin ropes in the carriage made his scalp tingle.

"What are these live poisons?" he asked, frowning.

The Guo Family Workshop in Bailan County was famous for its poisonous and lethal weapons in the previous dynasty, and many of the weapons in the Guo Family Workshop were also fed with poison, but he had never heard of live poisons before.

On the battlefield, the general fire attack will also be more widely used, phosphorus fire, fire oil and the like are used in large quantities, live poisons, insects and snakes are either phototaxis, or afraid of fire, it is easy to deal with, and there is no distinction between the enemy and me, in case of backlash, the consequences will be unimaginable.

These generals originally had a warm conversation with Lin Yi, but when they heard Lin Yi ask such a question, they still looked a little embarrassed.

"This is a military secret?"

Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted.

"These are flying poisonous scorpions, which look like heavenly bulls. These can be said, the specific toxicity and how to drive their use, half of which we don't know, and the other half of which is strictly ordered by the higher authorities not to be said, and must be handed over to the ground before the joint officials can be informed. ”

For these local armies, the Tie Ce Army was a strong reinforcement, and they didn't dare to offend, the general who was the leader looked left and right, stepped forward, and whispered in Lin Yi's ear.

Since there is a specific driving method, Lin Yi is too lazy to worry about it, at this time, the camp has already started to make a fire to cook, but the atmosphere is still depressed and tense. His gaze was taken away from the carriages, and he only glanced at them, and saw that many of the light cavalry were wounded.

"I heard that you had a battle with a small group of troops of the Northern Wei Dynasty before?" he looked at the general and asked, "What is the origin of the Northern Wei army, and what is the battle situation?"

"I can't see clearly in the night, there are more than 30 horsemen in the north, five of them died, nine of us died, but the origin of the other party is unknown, and they took the bodies of their companions with them when they retreated. ”

"The armor can't be seen clearly?"

"With a narrow scimitar. One of the light cavalry generals gestured at Lin Yi, looking at the way he compared, it seemed that the long knife used by the other party was about the same length as the ordinary long knife of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but the blade seemed to be more narrow and long.

"The one on the shoulder has a wolf's head mark. Then the general said.

Lin Yi did not deliberately lower the volume of these conversations with these people, and many people in the heavy cavalry army and the Tiece army around him heard it.

According to the previous military situation, almost all of the wolf head marks on the chest and shoulders were the descendants of Zhongshan Wang Yuanying, and more than 30 cavalry encountered so many local armies, and these cavalry troops were all arrow troops, but the casualties were smaller, and the corpses of the dead companions could be snatched away, and the combat effectiveness of the descendants of Yuanying's subordinates could be seen.

"Bring me some food, and the carriage will be one for us. ”

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the sparse firelight in the camp could not illuminate the faces of the people walking among them, and a heavy cavalry general walked in front of Xue Jiu and Rong Yi and the others who were gathered in front of a fire, and said very directly.

Rong Yi was slightly stunned, the rations they brought were not much before, but now that the military order has been changed, they have been transferred here to assist in transporting ordnance, and they should be delayed on the road for a few more days, so that the rations brought by Tie Cejun themselves will be relatively scarce.

As for the carriage, Lin Yi's one is very special, of course it is impossible to give it up, so which one of the rest, such as the Qi family's enshrinement, such as Qi Zhuji and others, can give it up?

"It's just such a small request, are you still reluctant to do it?" Seeing that Rong Yi, Xue Jiu and the others did not hear back for a while, the general of the heavy cavalry army frowned and sneered softly: "Rushing to reinforcements with so many carriages, your Tiece army is not small. ”

Xue Jiu looked at this heavy cavalry general who looked even more gloomy in the night, he was no more than Rong Yi who didn't understand anything, this general was not a high rank among the heavy cavalry generals, and he didn't look for Lin Yi and Qi Zhuji when he came to talk at this time, it should be that Fang Taihuai was afraid of pleasing Qi Zhuji, and if there was a dispute at that time, Fang Taihuai could also say that he didn't know.

But judging from the look of this low-ranking general of the heavy cavalry army at this time, he felt that the Tie Ce Army must be obediently served in a low voice.

Where do these people get their faith?

Presumably, it was the general army of the border army that was accepted by the military situation, but they were not well-informed about the affairs of the outside and some things in the cultivator world, and they didn't know what kind of army the current Tiece Army was.

Since the other party has launched such a low-level general, an old army like Xue Jiu naturally understands how to deal with it.

"No, we don't have any extra rations in the Tiece Army, why don't you go to them and ask?" he replied with a sincere and categorical expression, and at the same time looked at the location of the light cavalry and infantry troops, and the meaning could not be clearer, "As for the carriages, we also have a use, and there is nothing to spare. ”

The general of the heavy cavalry army really didn't expect Xue Jiu to be so simple, he was stunned, then he was a little angry, and said: "There is not one, they are all just carrying people, how much use can they send." ”

"They are all cultivators, and they need to meditate to replenish their true essence. Xue Jiu smiled faintly and said softly, "We still have some cultivators who can only ride horses because of the lack of chariots and horses. If you have a carriage, we would like to ask for one or two. ”

"All cultivators?"

The general of the heavy cavalry frowned, and he only felt extremely ridiculous in his heart, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to scold Xue Jiuyi's nonsense, but at this moment, a sharp whistle sounded not far away.

At the edge of the camp, the Zhenwu army of Nanping County had already put up a secret sentry, and at this time, the warning sound came from the other end of the Dongtou field.

Along with these sirens rang out some terrible sounds of arrows.

Several arrows were thrown too far, or as if they were deliberately demonstrating to everyone in the camp, and fell into the camp in the night wind.

The camp suddenly panicked, those originally extremely nervous infantry jumped up one after another, the messy hooves of the war horses, the neighing and panicked exclamations were mixed like a tide, the light cavalry and the infantry looked at the heavy cavalry in a hurry, and none of the generals issued a military order at this time, and their eyes fell on Fang Taihuai.

The difference was that all the eyes of the Tie Ce Army fell on Lin Yi.
