The wind blowing through the grass smelled fragrantly, the sun rose in the sky, and the birds circled and flew away in fright.

Boom Boom –

The horse's hooves galloped, hundreds of horses stepped across the yellowing grassland, and the rabbit that was gnawing on the grass hurriedly turned over and ran back, and the moment it was in the hole, the horse's hooves had already stepped over it.

"Whew... "The wind hunts, blowing the flag trembling and undulating.

With the towering flags of the poles spreading, the sound of horses' hooves is crisp, trampling on endless gray smoke, carrying the power of falling thunder and rolling stones, brazenly forward.

At the end of the avenue, billowing smoke and dust were swirling, and many war horses and human heads appeared and disappeared in the mist.

The marching army is like a ghost coming out of the underworld, and it is hideous with an incomparable murderous aura.

Soaked in blood, the dark red battle flag that has dried up is rolling like a rolling wave, and the first red flag is particularly eye-catching, and the flag is embroidered with a big big character, and the smell is a sense of slaughter and purification, which is a victorious army.

Gao Zhi, as the main general, is the leader.

Behind him, thousands of troops marched in formation, like a shadow, this is the elite of a strict order.

From a distance, the flags are unfurled, the queue is neat, the people are like dragons, and the horses are like tigers. Majestic-looking!

These cavalrymen are the elite of the elite.

They are generally under forty years old, and their length is basically more than seven feet five inches, and they are physically strong, surpassing ordinary people, good at riding and shooting, agile and agile, and moving around in and out.

In the Han Dynasty, there was already a distinction between light cavalry and heavy cavalry.

The light cavalry was basically unarmoured, and its weapons were mainly bows and arrows, equipped with shorter horses, and the heavy cavalry was armoured, and its weapons were melee weapons such as halberds, spears, and ring-headed knives, and they were equipped with tall horses for charging into battle.

Now under the command of Gao Zhi, the combination of the white horse Yicong and the wolf cavalry of Bingzhou has the advantages of light and heavy cavalry at the same time.

It is precisely because of this that during this period of time, Gaozhi can be regarded as galloping across the field.

After all, cavalry is a unit or detachment in the army that carries out tasks on horseback. It can fight both on horseback and on foot.

Generally speaking, an elite cavalry is enough to undertake tasks such as frontal assault, roundabout encirclement, pursuit, and rush, and its actions are light and agile, and it is less affected by terrain and weather.

The only drawback, if you want to talk about the shortcomings, may be that there are no bilateral stirrups, and after riding a horse for a long time, it is easy to have a butt pain.

To be precise, it is not that there are no stirrups in this era, but it is more like a pedal than a stirrup.

Because this kind of thing is generally only used for getting on horses, when riding horses and galloping to fight, the rider relies more on the strength of his legs and the saddle under his butt to fix himself.

As for how to play mounted archery without stirrups? How do you hold a knife in both hands?

This is obviously no problem at all, in fact, the biggest function of the modern bilateral stirrup is not fixed, but to save physical strength.

You must know that although there is a saddle, the fatigue of riding a horse for a long time is very great. For example, no matter how suitable a horse is, it will have a sense of bumps when traveling, and modern people can't stand it after two or three hits, let alone like the cavalry of this era.

Of course, bilateral stirrups were standard for cavalry.

With bilateral stirrups, one can step on the stirrups while walking, thus reducing bumps and fatigue. At the same time, when fighting, having a stirrup is equivalent to having a point of focus, which can undoubtedly make the power of immediate combat greater.

After all, the main function of stirrups is to reduce the rider's physical exertion and fatigue while riding, and even to improve the rider's dexterity while riding.

The stirrup can be said to be an epoch-making invention.

Militarily, the advent of stirrups made it easier for cavalry to engage in close-quarters combat, and facilitated cavalry marching long distances. It can more effectively give full play to the advantages of good mobility and strong impact of cavalry.

In fact, in today's Gao Zhi's view, the invention of stirrups is actually very simple.

Because strictly speaking, standing on the shoulders of giants, those things are not technical, whether they are made of wood, copper, iron or simply rope, they do not have to be made of copper.

The only thing that is more troublesome is the role of this thing.

Before there was a complete horse grazing land and a systematic cavalry training system, it was simply an enemy to come up with this technology.

Even if Lu Bu has now won the state, his strength is far from Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

If the two-foot stirrup comes out, the fastest growing strength is still Yuan Shao and them, and then the gains outweigh the losses.

The reality is cruel, it's not a smooth ride, and there is no need to think about the future.

Thinking about what he saw at the beginning, Gao Zhi wanted to laugh a little, among them, the modern otaku who had just crossed over, killed people without blinking as soon as they came to the battlefield.

It won't be long before he can challenge Guan Zhang Zhao Lu Bu, but as everyone knows, where does a modern ordinary person get his momentum to be comparable to these fierce generals and famous generals killed on the field of life and death?

I'm afraid that I don't dare to look at people.

Although now, Gao Zhi himself is no longer afraid of that kind of momentum, but he still feels funny.

Furthermore, in the Three Kingdoms era, identity is also an important thing, not casually, as soon as the tiger's body is shaken, there will be famous generals who will bow their heads.

In real life, these people are not NPCs in the game, they have their own ideas.

"Report!"

Not long after, on the official road, a horse galloped towards him, and when he approached, he jumped off the horse, ran to Gao Zhi's horse, and arched his hand.

"General, there is an urgent military situation."

Gao Zhi suddenly turned his face forward, grabbed the reins of the horse, suddenly reined in the horse that was sitting down, raised his left hand, formed a curved arc, and shouted loudly: "Everyone stop-" in a high-pitched voice.

Behind him, a hiss followed, and the soldiers who accompanied the army also hurriedly stopped and conveyed the order to the rear.

The thousands of cavalry behind him, pulling the reins in unison, lowered their speed.

When he had stopped, the scout bent his knees slightly, knelt on his front knees, and presented him with military information again.

"What?! The message is accurate?! After Gao Zhi finished reading the military information, he stood in front of the spies with a hideous face, as if he wanted to eat people.

"It's true! The Guanglu Fortress in the north has been broken through! A large number of Huns are heading straight for Wuyuan County? The spy replied in a panic.

"Damn the Huren! Is there really no one to deceive me?! Gao Zhi said viciously, "Come on, straighten out the soldiers and horses." ”

Seeing this, the adjutant general on the side hurriedly stepped forward, "General, my subordinates suggest that we can send a wave of men and horses to report to the lord, and in addition, prepare troops and horses." ”

"Accurate!" Gao Zhi nodded and ordered, "Everyone immediately turn around the horse's head and turn to Wuyuan." ”

"No!"

Then the adjutant general whipped back and quickly gave the order.

And the people who received the order quickly left with serious faces and dispatched people.

Then the horses' hooves rumbled, and the army marched, rolled up the dust, and headed north.
