Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Riding Equipment

In any country, armor and riding equipment are a symbol of national strength. It is also recognized by monsters.

Not every warrior who can ride a horse or a cavalry in heavy armor is called an armored cavalry outfit, and the armored cavalry always appears on the battlefield as a whole.

"Armor, human armor, armor, horse armor. "Armoured cavalry with two servants and two horses, which carry armor and weapons.

Horse armor, horse lance, knights, horses, and heavy armor are extremely time-consuming and money-consuming. Takahashi saddles and stirrups provide a stable and efficient charge for knights holding "lances" and "spears" of more than 4 meters.

The armor should be in front of the wedge formation, and in the correct formation, start with a trotting pace, and then smash the enemy chain of command with a thunderous charge. (In 1742 in the old Soviet calendar, Peng Le, the general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, commanded the heavy cavalry on the right flank, and went straight to the left flank of the Western Wei army, capturing two royal families and 48 generals of the Western Wei Dynasty, and the Western Wei Dynasty was defeated.) ）

Armor and cavalry can also be used on the battlefield at decisive moments to attack the enemy's main formation. Cause great confusion in the enemy's formation and launch a general attack with other troops. (After the Northern Wei War, Qin, "Taizu Zhao Piling Wang Shun attacked with fine horses, won hundreds of Xingjia horses, and beheaded more than 1,000 levels. Xing retreated, walked more than 40 miles south, and Taizu returned. ”）

Regardless of the mode of combat, armor and cavalry equipment should be used in a centralized manner and put into combat on a large scale.

-- "The Decline of Armor and Cavalry and the Rise of Archers"

-- As a close comrade-in-arms of many legendary generals during the War of the Gods, the Imperial Historian Chang Aotian has long been revered as a living fossil for the study of armor and cavalry archers, and his views are irrefutable insights that have been proven by countless bloods. Preface to The War of the Empire

Su Wen walked in front of the banner with a fan-shaped arrow clip on his back, looking from a distance, more like a peacock with a bald tail feather. Sumi's bad taste didn't cause him any discomfort, it only made him feel sweet.

The three generals took the lead and went to greet the people brought by Su Wen, and then they beat their horses to follow. Su Wen nodded with them, what a coincidence, he saved them last time, and in a blink of an eye, these people became his subordinates. "Don't you still have those two?" "Returning to the general's words, Ling Sanglan and Ling Yantao want to go to other military towns, and now there is a shortage in Xinsu City. We don't have much to offer, we just want to go back to our hometown. There's just something missing here. "Coincidentally, you two are locals?" Ling Yue'er smiled and arched her hand: "The last general is from Huayu Village, and you have been there, general." Ling Mengyi is still young, and the ironclad helmet can't hide her childishness, "General Xie's life-saving grace, Ling Mengyi's home is in the Iron Castle, very close to Xiqu Mountain City, I'll take you to play when we come back." ”

Su Wen glanced at Xie Xuan, "Hey, have I seen you?" The officer was a little restrained, "Back to the general, you also saved my life." "Whew, you're a member of the Tiger Army, I just gave you a map, what kind of life-saving thing. Anyway, he also left the Tiger Army, and the upright young man was not afraid of offending people: "If it weren't for the general, we would have been sooner or later."

Those old men killed. It's the fault of the soldiers who lost the battle, I was cleared out of the Tiger Army, and I just happened to meet two female generals, and I learned that you are here. There were many vacancies in the Xiqu Mountain Country, so I asked for a transfer to follow the general. ”

Su Wen admired himself a little, and before the tiger body was shaken, some people worshipped him. Ling Mengyi saw that they had finished speaking, and said hurriedly: "My lord, my lord, thanks to my lord's blessing, even the great Sima has met us, and asked us to bring you a letter,"

Ling Yue'er snatched the conversation: "How can there be a letter?" learned from a man's tone and said: "It's hard to say whether he recognizes or not, in my opinion, it's enough to have a message," Su Wen laughed, "It's Fang Wenqing, right?" "Yes, it's Lord Fang." Da Sima said: "Then bring him a letter, don't be too brave in the battle, I still owe you a meal." ”

Jiang Yun became a big official, and he could still remember him, Su Wen was a little moved.

"By the way, Brother Su, Da Sima is very beautiful, and he is kind. Even I, Ling Mengyi, am not afraid of her. I told her that we don't fight in the Xiqu Mountain Country, guess what she said?" "What to say?" Su Wen thought to himself, it must not be a good word. "She said, your Xiqu Mountain Country is going to suffer, and there will be a war wherever this goods go. I also brought you a lot of long armor-piercing arrows and a few armor coats. After speaking, he pouted, "We don't have time to bring anything, you don't know, I bought a lot of things for my parents..."

"I'll go, am I so black?" Su Wengan laughed, and shouted in the direction of Xinsu. Secretly sad, I don't have the money to make it up for you, little girl, who called us poor in this place.

The longitudinal horse grassland, the grass grows and the eagle flies, and Chang Ao is born with some pride: you don't see the grass and the yellow horse is fat, the snow mountain is flying in the west, the general of Xiqu is just out of the division, and the demon should be afraid to hear it, and move to Ximen to return quickly.

Seeing that Zhao Shu smiled when she heard the poem, she was even more poetic, and she was waiting to write a poem. Su Wen asked him, "Master Chang, do you know how to shoot arrows?" Chang Aotian felt uncomfortable as soon as he talked to him, and the emotions that had been brewing finally turned into nothing in an instant. Said angrily: "I understand a little" "Then you shoot an eagle down!" Chang Aotian didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Su Wen was not interested in seeing him: "I'll tell you a story about shooting eagles, and you will know why you want to shoot eagles." "There is nothing left and right, no matter how good the scenery is, I am tired of seeing too much. When I heard that there was a story to hear, everyone gathered around.

The story is called "The Condor Heroes". It is said that the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.

In a world of martial arts and heroes, such a heroic story of people, beasts, men and women instantly aroused everyone's interest, and even Chang Aotian got closer.

Su Wen cleared his throat, "Said that a long, long time ago, there was a hero who was famous far and wide, and left the grassland for the first time to go to the city, but unfortunately, it rained heavily, so he had to knock on a house to take shelter from the rain." There lived in this house with a beautiful girl named "I". "Kind girl, can you give me a bun?" "I" saw that he was a famous hero, and my heart rejoiced. Of course, he was given a bun. The hero asked again

"Can you take off your wet clothes?" The girl saw that the clothes were all wet, and hurriedly took the clothes to the stove to dry. At this time, the hero asked again: "Girl, I am thirsty, can you lend me a scoop and let me drink saliva?" "I" hurriedly took a scoop and gave it to him.

After drinking the water and seeing that it was late, the hero asked "me", "Can the girl let me spend the night here?" "I" thought about it, and it was raining heavily outside the house, so I agreed, and led him to the guest room.

At dawn the next day, the hero got up early, quietly walked into the yard, and saw an eagle raised to catch rabbits. The hero grabbed the eagle and plucked all the fur off. ”

Su Wen shrugged, indicating that the story was finished,

After hearing this, Chang Aotian felt that the taste was wrong? He asked: "What kind of hero is this? How can he be called serving the country and the people? Why did he do such a dirty thing? That day, "I" saw that he was pitiful, and if he wanted a bun, "I" would give him a bun; if he wanted to take off his clothes, "I" would let him take it off, if he wanted a scoop, "I" would give him a scoop, and if he wanted to spend the night, "I" would let him spend the night. Why did he pluck out all the feathers of "my"?"

Everyone on the side was dumbfounded........

Su Wen patted Chang Aotian on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Shoot an eagle down first, and I'll tell you why." ”

After walking on the grassland for a few days, I saw many cattle and sheep along the way, and sure enough, I didn't encounter demon beasts. Hunt every day, survey the land, and mark suitable places for planting. Joke and sing, and move forward like an idyll. In the evening of this day, I saw the snow-capped mountains stretching in the north. According to the plan, they should turn to the west, find the trade routes of the past, and then they can triumphantly.

Things inadvertently changed, and early the next morning, everyone was busy pulling out the camp and cooking food. The scout sent out in the early morning ran back with a nervous look. "Did you encounter a demon beast?" everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and hulala surrounded them. "No" "I'll go," half of the crowd dispersed in an instant, and the rest of the people slowly prepared to leave.

The scout took a breath and took a sip of water: "I saw someone," and the remaining half quickened to leave. What is so strange when I see people, it should be the boundary of Xisu to the west. When you see someone, you can go home, so hurry up and pack your bags.

Su Wen didn't have the consciousness of being a general at all, and he also came to see the excitement. Because Zhao Shu doesn't know how to barbecue meat herself, she always steals what he just baked. It's not lively and beautiful, and I'm thinking about going back to watch my barbecue.

The tooth gate general Xie Xuan had a different opinion, and leaned over to Su Wen's side and said, "General, our military discipline, military regulations, and command regulations are wrong, right?" Su Wen was stunned for a moment, yes. What kind of system is the commotion, just remember to let everyone change the arrow cluster, and nothing else has been done in military affairs. Just as he was about to have a meeting to discuss it, the scout shouted, "Don't go, general, it's a lot of people." After thinking about it, he shouted: "It's the enemy, and the armor and cavalry are chasing after me." ”
