Liu Yu nodded: "Then thank you brother." ”

Tan Pingzhi's loud voice came from afar: "Ah Shou is swollen, Ah Shou is swollen, thank God!" Soon, the entire Flying Leopard Battalion began to cheer.

A strange smile flashed in Murong Nan's eyes: "Look, everything will be fine, Liu Yu, you have to believe that the front is bright." ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly and breathed a long sigh of relief: "The light is ahead!" ”

Five days later, outside the Flying Leopard barracks, three miles, dense forest.

Murong Nan pointed his finger into his mouth, and with a sharp whistle, the corners of Liu Yu's mouth hooked, his legs clamped suddenly, and the mount of a tall divine horse under the seat hissed, and the two-hoofed man in front of him stood up, and then stepped heavily on the ground, raising a burst of dust, wrapping Liu Yu's whole person inside.

Murong Nan smiled slightly, rode forward, and ran in front of Liu Yu in three or two clicks, while looking at Liu Yu who was uncovering the blindfolded black cloth, he smiled and said: "It's really good, in just a few days of kung fu, you can actually practice to the point of blindfolded horseback riding, and you won't hit a tree in the small forest, Liu Yu, did you know how to ride a horse before, and deliberately pretended not to?" ”

Liu Yu smiled slightly, and patted the neck of his yellow horse: "How many times have I told you, I have only ridden a bull before, and I have never ridden a horse, but the principle of riding a bull and riding a horse is almost the same, just clamp the belly of the mount between your legs, and then keep the balance of your upper body, and ............"

Speaking of this, he patted the saddle under his crotch, stepped on the stirrups on both sides of the saddle, and stood up directly, almost flush with the branches: "With this stirrup, it is much more worry-free, so that the feet have a support point, and they can do a lot of actions on the horse, without relying purely on the leg strength to clamp it." ”

Liu Yu looked at Murong Nan: "I didn't know why the northern Hu cavalry was so powerful, he ran fast, he could gallop on the horse, and he could also clamp the lance to break through the formation, but now I understand, it turns out that there is this saddle as a prop, and you can also step on the stirrup, that is really labor-saving, if I can ride for half a year, I am afraid that I can sleep on the horse, but it is much easier than the infantry walking." ”

Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, this is where the advantage of the high mobility of the northern Hu cavalry lies, the vast grassland outside the Saiwai is like the thousands of miles of farmland of your Han people, but what grows is horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, and you only have tens of thousands of horses in the whole country, in our place, maybe a slightly larger tribe has more than so many war horses, so our northern knights can often have two horses or even three horses per person, and they can take turns to ride to save horsepower." ”

Liu Yu sighed: "No wonder your cavalry can march two or three hundred miles in a day and night, it turns out that this is the case, it seems that if it is superior to mobility, it will be difficult for our Han army's mixed troops to be able to reach it." ”

However, Liu Yu still hooked the corners of his mouth: "But our Han army also has advantages, our armor soldiers are sharp, the bow is strong and the crossbow is fast, after all, this gallop can only use a bow, if you shoot head-on, we still have an advantage." ”

Murong Nan shook his head with a smile, and suddenly rose up, his whole body flew in the air, flying between several big trees, and when he jumped back on the horse again, he was already holding a few branches full of leaves in his hands.

Liu Yu's brows furrowed: "What are you doing here?" ”

Murong Nan didn't answer, hung these branches on the horse's tail, and shouted, the war horse rose up, and soon, there was a cloud of smoke and dust in the woods, where could you still see Murong Nan's true body?

Liu Yu's brows gradually furrowed, although Murong Nan didn't say a word, but his meaning has been clearly expressed, yes, just this horse, hanging a tree branch, can raise the entire forest without a human figure, even on the battlefield, just release dozens of horses, can make the front four or five miles wide into smoke and dust, the number of enemy cavalry, the scale, the direction of the impact, can not be clearly observed by the infantry formation, this is the same as the infantry combat method of frontal fighting, lance, and archery in broad daylight, face to face, shooting, Completely different.

Liu Yu was thinking about it, when there was a long "call", accompanied by the sound of the horse's "Xi Yuyu", Murong Nan stopped in front of him with a man and a horse, and smiled: "How is it, on the battlefield, can you see where I come from?" ”

Liu Yu nodded: "This method of raising dust is really powerful, but no matter what, I only need to defend the front with a long lance phalanx, and then shoot at the cavalry with a strong bow and crossbow, there is still an advantage." ”

Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "Do you think that with a long lance array, you can block the assault of the iron cavalry?" ”

Liu Yu said confidently: "What's so difficult about this? As long as the elite infantry fights in formation, it is not for you to attack the cavalry of scattered assault, after all, we are shoulder to shoulder, people on top of people, immobile like mountains, your cavalry cannot be crowded together when attacking, and facing a row of long lances, even if people are not afraid of death, horses will be afraid. ”

Murong Nan sighed: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, you are just too confident." You've been riding a horse for a few days, don't you know that you can exert force and make all kinds of difficult moves on the horse? ”

Liu Yu frowned: "It's not difficult to be able to move and dodge on the horse without falling off, but I still don't believe in the dense long lance infantry formation that impacts the enemy on the battlefield." ”

Murong Nan ran to Lin Wai with a smile, and about a mile away from Lin, he pulled out a riding lance, which he had been sticking to the ground for the past few days, but had never used it: "Okay, I'll let you see the impact power of the cavalry assault!" ”

Murong Nan picked up this riding lance, Liu Yu looked at the lance in his hand motionlessly, he has also been paying attention to this weapon in the past few days, only to see that this lance is about one zhang four feet long (more than four meters long), almost two and a half people high, and the lance is different from the ordinary wooden pole lance, I don't know what material it is made of, the outside is painted, and it is painted with various patterns, such a long lance, sandwiched under Murong Nan's armpit, stretched forward, but it is almost straight, and there is no need to hang a small copper block at one end to maintain the level.

Just as Liu Yu was taken aback, he only heard Murong Nan shout in a deep voice: "Look at it, let you see the power of the cavalry assault!" ............ Drive! ”

The brown war horse under Murong Nan's seat shook his head for a while, and began to walk slowly, first slowly, then trotting, and then began to gradually accelerate, faster and faster, more and more urgent, after more than a hundred steps, it turned into a full-speed impact, only to see the war horse's four hooves like flying, with pieces of soil, a long dragon-like black smoke, rising behind it, and Murong Nan stood up directly from the horse's pedal, raised his lance forward, his white cloak rose in the wind, it looked like the whole person was flying, and his long howl resounded through the world:" Hell! ”
