Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Cavalry

Zhao Xin has not tested how strong his hearing is, but he can monitor the entire ship, if he pays attention deliberately, any movement on the ship can not hide his ears, it is much stronger than ordinary people, and it is estimated that it is at least two or three times the appearance, this kind of hearing is more obvious for long-distance targets, and he can hear the subtle sounds that ordinary people can't hear, and judge that at this time, obviously this horse team is still far away, but it is getting closer and closer, and the sound of horses' hooves is getting denser and denser. They were heading towards Nanle County, and their speed had not weakened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhao Xin didn't know what it was like on the official road, he had always taken a boat and walked on the canal, but what kind of place was Nanle, it was the south gate of the Daimyo's Mansion, and the business exchanges between the Daimyo's Mansion were very close, at this time, there were still so many knights galloping on the densely populated official road, this is not a common thing, and it can even be said to be a very bad thing, what are they going to do!

On the official road, those who dare to fight horses and gallop, in addition to the messenger, is the army, the dense sound of horses' hooves, which is at least a team of more than 40 horses, which cannot be a messenger, is the army, Nanle is such an inland county, or on the canal, how can there be an army galloping, not to mention that the Song Dynasty because of the lack of horses, there are not many cavalry, either distributed on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasty, or distributed in Longxi.

The speed of the horse team was very fast, and soon, it entered the distance that Sun Ji and others could hear, Sun Ji's face immediately changed, he was not Zhao Xin, he knew very well that in such an inland province as Nanle, there was still such an army that fought horses and galloped wildly, it was absolutely non-existent, as a royal weapon, he was very familiar with the battlefield, and even before becoming a shift, he also served in the Northwest Frontier Army for 5 years, and also served on the Liao border for 2 years, so to speak, he was familiar with the Northwest Army and the Liao-Song border, on the canal, in the core of the entire Song Dynasty, not at night, or in other sparsely populated places, on the most prosperous canals, in such densely populated places, and there are people who are so riding horses, is he not afraid of impeachment?

Sun Ji's heart, I don't know what kind of thoughts he is having, Zhao Xinzhong is excited, he has seen the strength of the infantry, the infantry armor must be the best among the heavy armored infantry, he has not seen the horse team of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty does not produce horses, can not equip a group of heavy armored cavalry, small-scale equipment is still OK, and even because of the scarcity of the number of military horses, the equipment of the cavalry is relatively sophisticated, so that a certain combat effectiveness can be guaranteed, according to the speed of this cavalry gallop, before he enters the city gate, he will definitely reach the city gate, He will have the opportunity to scan the equipment of the cavalry, and with the equipment of the cavalry, when he owns a horse in the future, he will be able to directly equip it, and he doesn't have to worry about this.

Fast horses gallop, as the fastest means of transportation in this era, cavalry is the fastest, when I first heard the sound of horses' hooves, still a few miles away, these cavalry seem to be very good, the speed is at least more than 30 kilometers, but it is less than 200 breaths of time, they rushed to the city gate from a distance, and they can even be seen from a distance.

This one's minimum 40 cavalry team, led by a body full of armor, but the figure is about the same as Sun Ji's, even in the Song Dynasty, under the premise that the central forbidden army selects quite high, like Sun Ji, more than 1.95 meters, it is rare, at least Xue Yu's height is four or five centimeters worse than Sun Ji, and the appearance of the same tall officer is still a cavalry, which somewhat surprised Zhao Xin.

Cavalry relative to infantry, will generally choose shorter, cavalry combat effectiveness, depends on speed, and speed is limited by the total weight, a tall and strong rider, will make the horse increase unnecessary weight, more than 30 pounds, for armor, will definitely be able to improve the combat ability of the cavalry.

This is not absolute, this restriction is mainly for ordinary cavalry, for generals, it is different, a tall general, when he has a group of relatively robust BMWs, the combat effectiveness he exerts, can be more terrible than carrying dozens of pounds of equipment, such as Sun Ji, Xue Yu, bow and horse skilled, whether it is a bow and arrow, or a long weapon, on the battlefield, the role that can be played is absolutely amazing.

As far as Zhao Xin's eyesight is concerned, it can be clearly seen that the horses of the general led by him are quite majestic, although the horses of the entire cavalry are not bad, they are quite good at a glance. At least about 1.4 meters, but the leader of the one, than others, at least one head higher, the height of the horse, and the horse's weight-bearing capacity has a direct relationship, generally speaking, the high-headed horse's weight-bearing capacity, sprint ability, are above the pony, I am afraid that only such a BMW, so that this tall general is so comfortable to ride, however, including the head of the officer, all the cavalry do not wear iron armor, are several layers of fine leather armor, but the leader wears a heart guard and some inserted iron plates, which increases a lot of protective ability.

Zhao Xin has studied the history of the Song Dynasty, and the military costume is also one of them, even if it is impossible to pay attention to it, what is each Wujin soldier, these unified costumes are still known, some marks and grades on his body, is the commander or Du Yu Hou such a level, and it is also a middle-level officer, at least 40 horses, one by one, to the city gate, did not slow down, the flag on the body fluttered, the fast horse galloped over, the van army, seen from a distance, quickly moved away, Gu Ma, shouting to the people to get out of the way.

The people did not dare to ram the army, let alone such a somewhat arrogant cavalry, being hit by the military horses at high speed, it was no joke, in a short time, a wide road was cleared around the city gate, even if they were still in the city gate hole, they all tried to stick their bodies on the city wall to prevent being hit by fast horses.

The horse team was at the gate of the city, just a slight slowdown, and the horse went quickly from the road that was out of the doorway, showing extremely skilled horse control skills, when Zhao Xin passed, less than a meter away, let him scan it again, from the horseshoe, saddle sheath, to the riding bow, horse Pikai and Pikai, there are almost dozens of types of weapons and auxiliaries, this is not the previous card, those are to push up the level, these are really good things, this is probably the forbidden army equipment in addition to the greater harvest, A harvest that he didn't expect at all.

When the horse team had just passed, Zhao Xin was excited, first the forbidden army equipment, and then the cavalry equipment, or such a sophisticated cavalry, along the horse team, just saw Sun Ji, he was behind Zhao Xin, no more than 35 meters away from him, but at this moment, his face was not calm, but a shocked expression, and his eyes were staring at the officer headed by him.

In Zhao Xin's eyes, Sun Ji has always been straight-faced, never without any expression, in Zhao Xin's opinion, he is stable and will hardly change because of anything, but at this moment, from his face, he saw stunned, surprised and incredulous, which made Zhao Xin interested, what kind of person is this, is it Sun Ji's old man.

The officer at the head of the group, being stared at, seemed to feel something, subconsciously glanced at Sun Ji's side, obviously, the gaffe just now, was suppressed by Sun Ji, as a master, of course, he knew that such a stare would make the other party notice, and entered the corner of the wall one step earlier, with the help of the shelter of the room, evaded the officer's gaze, how little time the horse could stay here, an ethereal feeling, the officer did not see anything valuable, he did not care, and the cavalry did not reduce the speed, rode his horse and whipped, and rushed directly to the city.

In the city, it was not as convenient as the city gate, and there was no van army to help them clean up, but the cavalry still did not slow down, and everywhere they passed, there was a panic and chaos. Zhao Xin didn't observe the situation of this cavalry entering Nanle County at all, he paid more attention to Sun Ji, a little staggered, Sun Ji's movements and expressions were noticed by Zhao Xin, at this time, the horse team had entered the dense street market, and they could no longer be seen, he also flashed out from the corner of the street, his face was gloomy, and he didn't know when, the other Xue Yu and the other three didn't know which corner they came out from, although they didn't get together, but everyone's face was gloomy, proving that this matter is probably not simple.
