At the same time as the formation of the naval division, the infantry here was not idle, in addition to seizing the time to train, they also had to reorganize the equipment - the craftsmen in the army had to assemble the carriages.

Relying on modern industrial manufacturing, the carriage not only uses modern technology such as heavy-duty bucket wheels, vibration damping springs, etc., but also adopts modern standardized technology, so it is not complicated to assemble the carriage, but it is only three days, 1,500 carriages, and it has been assembled.

The vast array of wagons in the wilderness outside Taoyuan City may even give the illusion of witnessing a cluster of tanks, but if you just look at the size, it is not much smaller than the early tanks.

The mighty car array, not to mention others, is Zhu Guoqiang, who is used to seeing big scenes, at least for a while, I feel that such an army must be unstoppable.

The original form of this carriage was the western caravan of the American pioneer era. With a length of up to 5.4 meters, it can carry up to 5,000 kg of cargo. In the days of the western frontiers, all the belongings of those immigrants were loaded in caravans, and they were fed and lived in the caravans, and these caravans were like the houses of immigrants.

It was chosen because of its strong carrying capacity, of course, not only that, Zhu Guoqiang also has other intentions. Under the traction of the coachman, the horses were harnessed, and each large carriage was pulled by four horses. Looking at the mighty carriage array, Zhu Guoqiang couldn't help but say again.

"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Yue Tuo!"

"What does this mean?"

"I said, invincible, you haven't understood this, if it weren't for Yue Tuo, how could you say that we can have so many war horses!"

Not really!

Fortunately, with Yue Tuo, the captain of the transport brigade, not only got more than 20,000 pieces of armor, but more importantly, tens of thousands of war horses - every time the Qing army entered the customs, they rode into the customs on horseback, with high mobility, a kind of rampage, so that the Ming army was tired behind the buttocks.

However, after Yue Tuo's defeat in Jinan, he cheapened Zhu Guoqiang, not only obtained a large amount of grain, grass, silver and other dirty things, but also obtained tens of thousands of war horses, and there were still many horses running away.

Although the cattle and sheep were distributed to the disbanded Ding Zhuang, most of the horses were left behind, if it was in the past, there was no place in Shandong to raise so many horses, but after the slaughter of the Manchu Dynasty, there were no people on both sides of the canal for hundreds of miles, and naturally there was no place to graze horses.

"He Yuetuo, he is really our transport captain!"

When Zhu Guoqiang and his generals sighed at the generosity of Yue Tuo, the captain, the mighty car formation was full of soldiers wearing Ming armor.

"Niu Jinxing, remember these numbers 00157, this is our car, unless it is disrupted, when we are generally marching, our Xiaoqi will sit in this car, you know?"

"Yes, yes......"

Niu Jinxing, who was in the car array, only felt that he was so small that he even became a little stammering when he spoke, and when he jumped into the car, he deliberately touched the baffle of the carriage and said in surprise.

"This, this baffle is actually iron."

It's steel!

And it is cold-rolled steel plates, after all, on the other side steel plates are cheaper than wood and easier to process, and besides, the carriage baffle made of 1.5 mm thick steel plate is no heavier than a two-centimeter-thick wooden baffle.

According to the establishment, in addition to carrying a small flag and ten officers and men, each horse was also loaded with ammunition, grain and grass and other various materials, and in the next few days, they marched and fought, staying in the carriage. When carrying supplies and getting into the car, Niu Jinxing looked into the distance, and looking at the mighty car formation, he couldn't help but think.

"Looks like you've come to the right place!"

In fact, he was originally only sent by Lushi County to block the breach on the embankment, but when the prince set out on the expedition, he took a few brothers to "hide" on the ship, and he was deprived of his fame, and he knew the truth of seeking wealth and danger, since he had lost his fame, then go to the army to seek fame and fortune!

Because he witnessed the scene of the prince sharing the joys and sorrows with the soldiers and civilians on the embankment, Niu Jinxing was convinced that it would never be wrong to follow such a prince, as a former man, he thought more than others, and even further-the future of the prince is immeasurable!

Standing on the bus, looking at the prince who was surrounded by a group of generals in the distance, Niu Jinxing looked forward to it in his heart.

One day, I will definitely be able to ride those high-headed horses beside the prince!

Tall horses!

The dozens of tall horses next to the car array are indeed eye-catching, compared to the low Mongolian horses, as early as a few months ago, Zhu Guoqiang specially bought more than 100 Don hippos from Russia, the biggest feature of the Russian Don hippopotamus is its amazing endurance, 160 cm high at the shoulder, in the middle of a group of Mongolian horses with a shoulder height of 1.4 meters, it is naturally a flock of people.

However, because of the number and the fact that only two horses can be brought with each crossing, these horses have become a tool for Zhu Guoqiang to win the hearts of the people.

"Lord Shizi, relying on these carriages, can you really catch up with Jiannu? Doesn't it make sense to ride a horse faster? ”

Regarding Gong Changyun's question, Zhu Guoqiang did not answer, but Chen Wudi smiled.

"Invincible, you explain it to Gong Zhixian."

"Gong Zhi County, not everyone can ride a horse, training infantry to ride a horse, it always takes time, and one person and one horse, more grain and grass are needed, but the carriage only needs to train one coachman, and only four horses can transport a small flag and ten officers and soldiers, and the march is not less than 100 miles a day, which is about ...... to cavalry."

Of course, this is entirely due to the fact that the performance of the carriage made of modern raw materials such as ball bearings and spring shock absorption is advanced enough, of course, from the perspective of this era, it is absolutely impossible, and even at the beginning, when Zhu Guoqiang set the strategy of "riding infantry", even Chen Wushu and Qian Degong had doubted it, but after a few tests, everyone became dumb.

The so-called "chariot is better than cavalry, cavalry is better than foot", the infantry can not resist the trampling of the cavalry, and the chariot can block the trampling of the cavalry, and can give full play to the advantage of firearms. Back then, Yu Wu Xianggong used chariots to deal with the Tartar cavalry, and now the prince uses chariots to deal with the cavalry of Jiannu, which is in harmony with the art of war. ”

Although he didn't believe that the carriage could keep up with the cavalry of the Eastern Prisoners, Gong Changyun had certainly seen the allusion of Yu Dayou riding with a chariot from the history books. I know that he once defeated more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry with 100 chariots, 3,000 infantry and cavalry in Anyinbao in the Datong area. It is inevitable to make a compliment.

In addition to compliments, Gong Changyun couldn't help muttering in his heart, Yu Wuxianggong never said that he chased a horse with a car!

At this moment, a herald came to report.

"Report to the prince, the troops have been assembled!"

Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Guoqiang gave an order.

"Order the whole army to go!"
