Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

In fact, the origin of the heavy cavalry was the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. During this period, the five turbulent Chinese, the northern barbarians and nomads went south, occupying the vast territory north of the Yangtze River, relying on the powerful impact and the armored horses and horses. . The heavy cavalry swept across the banks of the Yellow River like a whirlwind, and the weakly defended infantry of the Jin Dynasty scurryed with their heads.

In modern times, there were coordinated tactics with tanks. Tanks broke through the front line with a body of steel and irresistible, while infantrymen followed behind the tanks and advanced slowly.

The heavy cavalry is an ancient tank.

However, heavy cavalry can not only assault infantry, but also assault light cavalry.

"Imagine." Liu Ye said boldly: "Bi Wuhuan Qingqi came in a big way and entered China, and I made a frontal breakthrough with armor and equipment, just like the steel city wall advancing layer by layer, destroying it, and the Wuhuan soldiers will not be scared. Guts?"

All the generals' minds came up with the images of the armor and equipment when they attacked, and it seemed that victory was near.

"Okay!" Ma Chao said excitedly: "If the Lord Meng will not give up, Ma Mengqi is willing to lead the armour and equipment to confront the enemy frontal and capture the leader!"

Liu Ye nodded approvingly: "Well, if that's the case, then the task of commanding the armor and riding gear will be assigned to Meng Qi."

Ma Chao is brave and courageous, with superb martial arts, and the armor and equipment is a unit known for its impact. What is particular about it is to break ten times with one strength. No matter who you are, I just need to hit it in one breath and break everything.

"Although the armored equipment has not yet entered the battle, after breaking Wuhuan, it will definitely become famous in the world." Ma Dai stepped forward and said: "Please give the general a name to the armored equipment."

"Yeah." Liu Ye thought for a while, and said, "Armored, equipped with horses and horses, dressed in armor, as if carrying a mountain on his back, there is no resistance. In that case, I will name it Negative Yuejun."

"Please rest assured, Lord Ma!" Ma Chao stepped forward and said boldly: "On the day of the decisive battle, Chao will definitely live up to expectations and lead the Yue army to defeat the enemy."

During the optimistic parade of Han Ling Emperor, although the armor and equipment were displayed, there were not many visitors, so it was not exposed.

In fact, although the Emperor of Han Ling displayed a thousand people’s armor and equipment during the military parade, these thousand armor and equipment have never participated in a war. Therefore, until today, the princes of the world have not been able to organize any one. Support heavy cavalry troops. It was not until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties that the armored equipment used its huge impact force to run across the north of the Yangtze River and crush the mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.

At that time, the armor and riding equipment must be able to be a blockbuster.

"After Bo'an's navy ships a thousand horse armors, they will immediately be installed on the horses to prevent the cavalry from training and adapt to the armor and equipment." Liu Ye said, "Meng Qi, you have to train well these days. , Don’t live up to your expectations, understand?"

Ma Chao promised: "Please rest assured, the general, Chao will definitely live up to his trust."

Liu Ye nodded: "Well, the Wuhuan cavalry are all one man and two horses, and they go south quickly. Let's hurry up."

He left without saying goodbye these few days, and he specifically circled a piece of land for these two things. The successful development of the horseshoe can prolong the service life of the horse; and the use of armored equipment will greatly increase the impact of the horse. Under the combination of the two, the "Iron Buddha" of the Han Dynasty will be freshly released.

Zhao Yun sighed and said admiringly: "The general is really a genius of the sky. In the past few days, Yun has been amazing in the army. This armor is equipped with a riding gear, a horse and a horse, and an armor. The bow and arrow cannot be added, except that it cannot last forever. Weaknesses."

If among the vassals of the late Han Dynasty, who is the most proficient in the use of cavalry, probably no one is better than Gongsun Zan, known as General White Horse. Gongsun Zan is located in Youzhou, a land of prolific war horses. He trained a Youzhou cavalry with a "white horse righteousness" as the core and went wild.

However, the myth of Baima Yicong invincible was broken in the Battle of Jieqiao.

From Xiliang, the Titan Kuyi, who defected to Yuan Shao, led more than a thousand Xiandeng dead men, hid bows and crossbows, and when Bai Mayi arrived, suddenly a group of arrows released. With all the arrows fired, Bai Ma Yicong withered in an instant. At that time, Zhao Yun had already defected to Yuan Shao. He witnessed the destruction of Bai Ma Yicong. Natural memory was quite deep.

"Not bad." Liu Ye exclaimed, "This armored equipment has strong impact and defensive power. The only drawback is that it can't last, otherwise it will be rampant some time ago."

The horse is tired enough to carry a person on its back. This person has to wear armor with the horse, which is equivalent to an extra load of tens of kilograms, and a fat and strong horse can't bear it. In fact, the elimination rate of ancient war horses was very high. Not to mention those killed on the battlefield, there were not a few war horses that were exhausted during the march.

For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Manchu and Qing dynasties, in order to increase their marching speed to 200 miles a day, they flogged their horses desperately, causing the Eight Banners to be exhausted.

This is also the only shortcoming of armored equipment. After all, it is not a real tank. As long as the tank has sufficient fuel, it will be fine for a day and night. But war horses are not good, war horses are animals with limited physical strength and not strong durability.

"However, it is enough to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry." Liu Ye said bluntly: "In this battle, the Wuhuan people who are going to fight will hug their heads and chase them to the north. They dare not take the sides for 20 years!"

The generals were all excited when they heard the words, and said with high morale: "Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

Thousands of Liangzhou cavalry were equally motivated, shouting loudly, hitting the ground hard with the horse in their hands, and poking the rod on the ground, making a beeping sound, like a heavy rain shaking the earth with great vigor.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun couldn't help raising his arms and blending into this exciting atmosphere.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Thousands of people shouted in unison, and their prestige spread ten miles away, as if a clear sky was thundering. Some small animals living nearby were so scared that they hugged their heads, wondering why the beast came.

"Military spirit is available." Liu Ye nodded in satisfaction.

During the next few days, the Xiliang Iron Knights in the camp selected the best, and selected a thousand knights who were the bravest and able to fight, and were selected into the negative Yue army. Liu Ye also specially issued five stones to everyone, and informed the whole army: If anyone has the ability to challenge the knights in the defeated Yue army and win, then they can replace them.

Hearing this, the dejected Xiliang soldiers who had not been selected were very energetic and eagerly challenged those in the defeated Yue army. The Liangzhou soldiers who had been selected as the defeated Yue army also did not dare to be careless, carefully practicing martial arts, if they were defeated by the opponent, wouldn't they want to get out?

Suddenly, a benign challenging atmosphere formed in the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the soldiers' training enthusiasm was greatly improved.
