Chapter 563: Black Lance Dragon
North Garden.
The war horse under the straddle is tall and majestic, this is the emperor sent people from the Western Regions to ask for the Dawan horse breed, although the endurance of this horse is not as good as the Hetao horse, the gallop is not as good as the Hetao horse, but its tall and powerful, especially has a very strong short-term explosive power.
Moreover, this horse has a good load-bearing capacity, and the emperor takes a fancy to this horse and wants to breed a large number of this horse as a heavy cavalry war horse.
Luo Cheng is a good product among the emperor's imperial horses, and he gave him a horse.
Standing taller than Luo Cheng's horse, Luo Cheng really likes it, it's too tall.
The warhorse lowered its head and shook its head slightly.
In Beiyuan, on a court, two polo teams are getting ready and ready to go.
On one side of the yellow flag is the host Da Sui's Xiaoguo Army Polo Team, and on the other side, under the white wolf, is a fierce Turkic attached warrior.
These guards of the Khan King from the foot of the Yin Mountain were given the name of attachment.
Gongsun Sheng, a general who had sent several envoys to the Turks, once recorded that the weapons of the Turks included bows and arrows, and armor and swords. Its ornament has both a protrusion, a flag, and a golden wolf's head.
The guards are called attached.
Attached, Turkic for wolf.
Gaiben is a wolf, and he will never forget the past.
The territory under the control of Shibi Khan is bordered by the desert in the north, Jinshan in the west, Daxianbei Mountain in the east, and Hetao in the south. After the recuperation of Qimin and his two generations, he reunified the eastern Turks, and his strength was extremely strong, and now he is known to have 400,000 horsemen and a population of millions.
Although the Great Sui is known as the world of soldiers, with millions of ironclad soldiers, the 400,000 Eastern Turkic cavalry still threatens the Great Sui.
Since the fifth year of the Great Cause, Shibi Khan has been quite respectful since he inherited the Eastern Turkic Khan throne inherited by his father Qimin Khan. The emperor toured the north, he was like his father, he led his subordinates to cut the grass in advance to open the way, and also shot deer and offered meat for the emperor personally.
But no matter how tame a wolf is, it is always a wolf.
At that time, the Qimin Khan was just one of the defeated khans during the Turkic infighting, and the Sui Dynasty rescued him and placed him in Monan, where he was separated to resist the Turks, but the recuperation of two generations, coupled with friendship with the Sui, allowed them to recover quickly.
Beside Luo Cheng, Shi Xin looked curiously at the Turkic Dependent Wolf Rider. He is now the lieutenant of Liaodong County, and the 3,000 heavy armored cavalry in Liaodong are all under his command, and he is still more curious about the Turkic cavalry.
Although it was only a polo match, the two teams were completely equipped for battle.
The Turks wore fish scale armor, and the armor was bright, and the quality of this iron armor was excellent at first glance. And the Xiaoguo army's dark bright light armor, large heart protection chest glasses, and iron armor pieces of mountain characters are obviously one level stronger than the armor of the Turks.
Both sides were clad in armor and helmets, but they were both removed from swords, bows, crossbows and other weapons, and replaced with lunar staff for striking.
"It's still the Xuanjia cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, and the third brother has a hand in training." Shixin said to the heirs.
Luo Siye also rode a Dawan BMW, and he just smiled when he heard the words, and the Xiaoguo Polo Team on the field was from his Xiaoguo Left Army.
After all, he is a fierce general who has followed Luo Cheng to fight in the east and west for several years, and after arriving at the Xiaoguo Army, the soldiers here are the best, and the equipment is the best, especially these Xiaoguo are all recruits, and they are a standing professional soldier in the battalion all the year round, with regular salaries every month, and at the same time stationed in Beijing, as the emperor's guard, their combat effectiveness is very high.
With the original tactics and military regulations training in the Fifth Army, the Left First Army has been significantly stronger than the other Xiaoguo Fifth Army.
Don't say anything else.
The two polo teams stood there, both waiting for orders, but the Turkic retained wolf riders were always knighted. And the team of Xiaoguo Xuanjia riders on the side of Heiye did not move at all.
Those who know how well to be a soldier know how difficult it is to do this.
"Is this the case for all the 150,000 people in the Xiaoguo Army?" Luo Cheng asked the heir.
"150,000 Xiaoguo, most of them are recruited from the Guannai, and then a small number of them are the children of the powerful people in the Kanto region, these people already have a foundation, and many of them are still nobles and bureaucrats. My left army had 25,000 men, including 10,000 cavalry and 15,000 foot soldiers. Among them, there were 2,000 heavy riders and 8,000 light riders. ”
"Among the 8,000 light cavalry, there are 3,000 archers who are mainly archers who are archers who are mainly archers who shoot crossbows, and there are 5,000 lancers who are mainly shocking."
Luo Cheng was speechless when he heard it.
Thinking that he was in Liaodong, he worked hard to create 3,000 light cavalry, but the emperor's 150,000 Xiaoguo North and Forbidden Army, only the left army, there were 2,000 heavy cavalry and 8,000 light cavalry. The light cavalry of the people was even divided into archers, who mainly rode and archery, and lancers, who mainly attacked.
"Two thousand heavy horsemen, can they fight?" Shixin was very interested in the heavy cavalry and immediately asked.
Si Ye smiled, "My two thousand heavy cavalry are all wearing iron and black lacquer lances, and Your Majesty gives them the name of Black Lance Longxiang." ”
The black lance dragon is very aristocratic when you listen to the name.
Especially when everyone is equipped with a black lacquered horse lance, this is not comparable to Luo Cheng's three thousand heavy horses. Moreover, their horse lance is still wrapped with iron and black lacquer lance, which has a characteristic of wrapping a circle of iron wire under the blade.
The effect of this wire is similar to the red tassel of the red tassel gun, which can increase the friction of the horse lance after it penetrates the human body, which can not only expand the lethality, but also help to recover the horse lance, so as to avoid affecting the combat effectiveness due to the inability to pull back the horse lance in time during the battle, but it is much more advanced than the red tassel.
And Luo Cheng's heavy cavalry, only the gang commander and above have a horse lance, and the heavy cavalry below the fire commander uses a spear. Even the horses, even the officers' horses, generally have a swallow-tailed flag on the lance.
In addition to the logo, the swallowtail flag also has the same effect as the iron winding, but it is obviously more efficient without the iron winding.
The iron lance is more expensive than the dovetail lance.
People's Praetorian Guards are cattle, and they are equipped with whatever is expensive, looking at the Xuanjia of others, it is not comparable to Duan Zhixuan's Xuanjia Battalion in Luo Chengzhong's cavalry, this Xuanjia is thicker and stronger.
The cloak they wore alone was very impressive, it was very windy, mixed with thin wire, this cloak was very large, it could wrap the whole knight, and it had a strong anti-arrow effect.
And this kind of cloak, in Luo Cheng's army, only officers above the team level have it.
There are 2,000 heavy cavalry in the first army, and the sixth army of Xiaoguo is 12,000 heavy cavalry, Luo Cheng is a little skeptical, can there be so many heavy cavalry?
Fortunately, Heiye told him that in the six armies of Xiaoguo, only the first and second left had 2,000 heavy cavalry, and the other four armies only had 500 cavalry each, so that the sixth army of Xiaoguo was only 6,000 heavy cavalry, which made Luo Cheng feel better.
Otherwise, if there are two thousand troops and ten thousand heavy cavalry appear on the battlefield, no matter how many infantry there are, they will only collapse in front of them.
The most powerful thing about hoplites is that they have a strong restraint and reinforcement of infantry.
But thinking about the 400,000 Turkic cavalry of Shibi Khan, it was enough for Luo Cheng to secretly breathe.
Shibi Khan, who was sitting under the emperor and watching the ball, was actually shocked by Luo Cheng in his heart.
Shibi Khan listened to Luo Yi introduce the emperor's six armies to him, and he was secretly frightened.
The Xiaoguo Army of the Northern Guards had six armies, and the left army, which was born from the elite cavalry on the field, had a full 2,000 Xuanjia heavy cavalry, 3,000 crossbow light cavalry, 5,000 spear light cavalry, plus 10,000 elite infantry, plus 5,000 baggage infantry.
This is only one army, and the emperor has six such armies, so doesn't that mean that the emperor has 12,000 heavy cavalry, 18,000 archers, 30,000 pikemen, plus 60,000 elite infantry, and 30,000 baggage infantry.
This is only the emperor's Northern Praetorian Guard, which is only equivalent to his attached wolf horse.
Although Shi Bi has always been proud that he has 400,000 light horses, his own wolf riding cannot be compared with the emperor's.
Not to mention, among the emperor's Praetorian Guards, there is also a Nanya Forbidden Army.
And in all parts of the Central Plains, there are even millions of government soldiers, and only one Luo Cheng in Liaodong, who commands the border army in Liaodong, can destroy Goguryeo, which has been established for 700 years and has 300,000 troops.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.
It's really not that you don't know the city if you don't go to Luoyang, and you don't know how many people don't know if you don't
The Turkic nobles on his left and right also writhed uneasily one by one, feeling very uncomfortable.
The Emperor took Shibi's reaction in his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
He clapped his hands, "Yan Guogong, let the warriors start to test their skills!" ”
Luo Yi nodded, waved his hand, the horns blew, the drums also beat, a polo was thrown high, and the two teams finally began to collide and compete!
