Chapter 149: Shocked
When they arrived at the armory, the guards outside the door became Tang Qi's bodyguards.
"Lord's house!" The guard saluted Tang Qi, "Lu Taishou said, this armory can be temporarily allocated to us!" ”
"Okay."
Tang Qi smiled at Huo Quai: "Open it and take a look?" ”
Huo Qubing couldn't wait, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked people to open the big lock of the armory and rushed in like an arrow from the string.
I only heard a burst of rummaging through the cabinets inside, followed by a shout of surprise.
"Brother Tang, how did you get these precious things!"
The Yulin cavalry waiting outside looked at each other, all itching, and they didn't dare to act without orders.
Tang Qi smiled: "Go ahead, move the things inside." ”
"Roar!"
The cavalry roared and entered, and there was a succession of shouts of excitement from inside the door.
The guards were dazed.
They were just ordered to move some locked boxes in, and then guarded the door to prevent anyone from entering or leaving, not knowing what was inside.
But soon, they didn't even have to scream.
The cavalry brought out the equipment one by one, and all kinds of novelties filled the front yard.
It's all shiny iron armor and a kind of strangely shaped spear!
"500 sets of cavalry standard Mingguang armor, 500 sets of light vests, and 1,000 horse lances." Tang Qi smiled, "How is it, do you know how to use it?" ”
"Of course, you still need to say?!"
Huo Quzhi was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Mingguang armor and horse lance are not weapons produced in the Western Han Dynasty.
But Huo Quai, a genius cavalry general, how could he not see the usefulness of these things?
I just don't know the name.
Compared with the cavalry light armor of the current Yulin Army system, the practicality of Mingguang armor is undoubtedly much more than in terms of texture and weight!
Just by touching it with your hands, you know that even at a distance of fifty paces, the bone arrows of the Huns could not cause any damage to the cavalry wearing Mingguang armor!
The vest does the same thing!
As for the horse lance, just by looking at it, I know that it is so clever that it is better than the standard halberd and short spear of the current Han cavalry, so I don't know where it goes!
Besides, the texture of the start, I know that this is a high-end weapon that is impossible to manufacture in batches.
Even the sons of the family in Chang'an, no one has ever used such a high-end weapon!
"Brother Tang, is this really for us?" Huo Quzhi couldn't believe it, "Does Your Majesty know, do you want to go to the book first?" ”
Tang Qi waved his hand: "This is all built by my manor workshop, and there is no need to report it to Your Majesty." As for the drawings and production methods, I will naturally write when I return to Chang'an. ”
Huo Quai's illness was relieved.
The Han Dynasty's control over weapons and armor was far less stringent than in later generations, especially for the private guards of officials.
In addition to stepping on the crossbow, the rhubarb crossbow and other weapons that are too lethal, it is useless to ask for them privately, and most of them are forbidden at a glance.
It's the same with armor, even rangers can wear light armor.
It can be regarded as the embodiment of martial arts.
Of course, Mingguang Armor and Ma Lance are still a little too late, but who made him Tang Qi?
"Sons, put them on!" Huo Quzhi smiled and narrowed his eyes.
Don Qi was also very happy.
From today onwards, the Han Dynasty will enter the era of mounted cavalry hundreds of years earlier!
and the Huns' cavalry archery corps, there will be a whole generation of differences!
Although there will definitely be sacrifices in mobility, Dahan is not short of horses at present, and it will not adversely affect Wei Huo's thousand-mile run.
On the contrary, it will greatly reduce the cavalry attrition due to the sharp increase in defense capabilities!
No wonder Huo Quzhi would be excited like this!
And......
Aren't you fighting a defensive war now?
"With these things, you can really find a time to rush at him!" Huo Qubing was eager to try, "With the cover of a crossbow, my 500 sons can be worth 5,000 light horses!" ”
Tang Qi smiled and said nothing.
When mounted cavalry appeared on the battlefield for the first time, it would not hit the enemy 10 times more?
Regardless of whether it is a foot soldier or a light horse, equipped with cavalry, it will always be the king of frontal raids!
Unless the Huns can form a cavalry nemesis like the Modao Army!
But is that possible?
At this time, above the castle.
The 2,000-strong cannon fodder regiment has filled in the first circle of trenches and is steadily advancing towards the second circle of trenches.
Because there were countless sheep slaves who were more cannon fodder than cannon fodder to fill in the earth, the defense line of the first circle of trenches unexpectedly did not bring many casualties to this Western Regions servant army.
This made the commander of the infantry somewhat relieved, thinking that the defenders were no more than that.
Actually?
"Hurry up, hurry up, are you ready to change the guard?"
Li Guang roared like a sheep, and the noisy footsteps on the city tower rang out.
Finally, all the crossbowmen who had been replaced with Zhuge Repeaters were in place.
Chen You was still suggesting: "Captain Li, do you really not go out of the city to line up?" With this 10,000 crossbowmen, there is no need to be false at all! ”
"Don't go out!" Li Guang said decisively, "It's just a bunch of cannon fodder, it's not worth letting them see our hole cards clearly!" ”
With the castle tower as an obstacle, even if the arrows are endless, the opponent will at most feel that the defenders have a large number of crossbowmen, and the arrows are sufficient.
Because a repeater that can fire 50 arrows in a row is beyond everyone's common sense!
"In case you scare people away, aren't the sons and daughters losing a lot of military exploits for nothing?" Li Guang pulled out a bloodthirsty smile and silently stared at the army of foot soldiers advancing with their shields raised below.
"Shoot!"
"Buzz ——!"
Arrows raining down!
Five thousand crossbowmen spread out on the city tower, and the dense crossbow arrows fell, directly causing a one-third reduction to the servant army in the Western Regions!
The city was filled with the howls of the wounded in pain and the terrified screams of the servants.
The commander of the regiment who was supervising the battle in the rear was shocked.
The bow and crossbow of the Han people are so terrifying!
However, he often followed the Huns to fight, and the commander of the regiment was somewhat mentally prepared.
In addition, there is a team of warlords behind him, even if the army is already unstable, he still wields his waist knife to drive away the soldiers.
"Rush, all rush! Rush under the walls and be safe! ”
"The crossbows of the Han people can't be fired in bursts, so take this opportunity to rush forward!"
"Don't retreat, think about your family and relatives, whoever retreats the Huns will kill whoever the whole family!"
Under the shadow of the Xiongnu's might, the servant army finally reorganized their formation and rushed forward with their shields against their lives.
Not fast, no!
When the crossbow arrows of the Han people are reloaded with good arrows, those who do not win can only die!
Surprisingly, the gap did not appear.
"Buzz ——!"
Before the captain's roar fell, another batch of crossbow bolts came to cover the sky and the sun!
This time, half of the foot soldiers fell directly to the ground, and they couldn't get up again!
The 2,000-strong army of lightly armored infantry soldiers, in the blink of an eye, there were less than 700 people left!
The captain's shouts could no longer be suppressed, and the servant army cried and retreated.
Even the bows and arrows of the Hun Governor's army could no longer drive them forward.
The Huns did not take their hands and just shot the deserters indifferently.
There were deadly bows and arrows in front and behind, and there was not enough space for the servants to scatter and flee.
The surviving servant sergeants all died under the arrows of the Huns!
