Leopards ride like the wind!

This is Cao Cao's evaluation after observing the tiger and leopard riding exercise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info and the other sentence is 'tiger riding the mountain', which means that when the tiger rider launches a charge, it is like a mountain and a sea, and it is overwhelming. This is also in line with the nature of leopard riding and tiger riding. Fundamentally, at the beginning of the establishment of the Haw Par Ride, there was no clear distinction, and the Haw Par Ride was basically a whole.

This has a great deal to do with the environment in which Cao Cao lived at that time.

At that time, Cao Cao did not have much capital in his hands, especially at the beginning of Jian'an, materials were extremely scarce, and he was unable to carry out systematic training.

Even in various places, the situation has not improved. Until Lu Bu was eliminated, Xuzhou ushered in a stage of great development and great leap. After several years of painstaking management, the current situation of Haixi has been formed. Even during the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao did not deliberately distinguish between tigers and leopards. Among them, there are extremely special historical reasons. According to the current classification, the tiger cavalry is a heavy cavalry, while the leopard cavalry is a light cavalry, and the two are very different. At the beginning of the establishment of the tiger and leopard cavalry, it was still in accordance with the cavalry training model since the Han Dynasty. The armor and riding equipment necessary for heavy cavalry have not yet appeared, and most of them are mainly horse armor.

The horse armor in the late Eastern Han Dynasty is also known as 'dang chest'.

It is made of leather and is relatively rudimentary. And even so, horse armor is extremely precious. Even in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's army only had ten horse armors, which shows how valuable it was. And Yuan Shao had tens of thousands of strange soldiers at that time, but there were only 300 complete horse armors. It is precisely for this reason that the heavy cavalry cannot appear, and it is still an ordinary training mode to train the tiger and leopard riding.

Until Cao Peng returned from Liangzhou, he was three years old in Xingyang.

It was also by chance that he and Cao Zhen talked about armor and riding equipment, and suggested that the tiger and leopard riding should be divided, and the leopard riding and tiger riding should be established.

Under the promotion of Cao Peng, at the beginning of the tenth year of Jian'an, Heyi Workshop manufactured the first set of armor riding equipment.

According to the memory of his previous life, Cao Peng divided the armor and riding equipment into six parts: the face curtain, the chicken neck, the chest, the horse body armor, the rear and the parasitism. Through Cao Zhen's relationship, Cao Peng suggested to Cao Chun that the Tiger Cavalry should be organized into a heavy cavalry. After Cao Chun considered the suggestion, he inspected the armor and riding equipment created by the first workshop of the river, and readily agreed, and at the same time officially reported it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao then began to divide the tiger and leopard cavalry into separate training.

In addition, Cao Peng opened the Hexi trade route, together with the Western Regions and Mobei and other horse-producing areas. In particular, the establishment of the Shandan Ranch made Cao Cao no longer have to worry about horses. In this way, with the continuous flow of war horses from Hexi into the Central Plains, and the environment under Cao Cao's rule was also undergoing great changes, a new type of troops, heavy cavalry, was born in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty two hundred years in advance......

The Han Kingdom of the Lu clan was attached, and Cao Peng went to Xudu to die.

After observing the drill of tiger and leopard riding, he suggested that Cao Chun change the training mode of leopard riding.

The previous leopard riding was mainly based on riding and shooting. Nowadays, saddle stirrups and horseshoes are complete, and with light armor, more combat methods are derived. For example, the leopard cavalry still maintained the tradition of mounted archery, and at the same time was equipped with a special sabre, which gave rise to the prototype of the light cavalry of later generations.

The saber is made by covering the earth and burning the blade.

In terms of body design, it slightly refers to the shape of the Damascus scimitar of later generations, which has stronger lethality.

The knife is 90 cm long and 4 cm wide, with a short handle.

Cao Peng called it a hand knife. As soon as the leopard rider comes into close contact with the opponent, the hand knife can produce great lethality.

The Haw Par Cavalry has been transformed since Jian'an ten years ago, and the elite soldiers from all over the country have been trained in different categories.

After nearly two years, the new tiger and leopard riding finally stepped onto the stage of history in Jingzhou. Previously, even during the Battle of Youzhou, Cao Cao used the original tiger and leopard cavalry. And this time in Jingzhou, Cao Cao sent this reorganized tiger and leopard cavalry, which had an undisguised sense of deterrence, in order to promote martial arts.

When the time came, it was dark.

Liu Beijun is in the most lax state.

The soldiers were already exhausted after a night of running in the cold rain. At this time, most people are sleeping soundly. A few people barely shook their spirits when Zhao Yun was inspecting just now. But as soon as Zhao Yun left, these soldiers immediately changed back to their original appearance.

In the dark wilderness, there was the sound of rumbling hooves.

Many of the soldiers widened their ignorant eyes and looked into the distance suspiciously.

But most people can't react. It wasn't until the cavalry rushed out of the darkness and quickly approached that no one could see the situation clearly. The cavalry were all tall horses, and the horses were equipped with chests and curtains. A knight on a horse, with black armor and a black leopard mask. Seeing them rush near, they easily bent their bows and arrows on their horses, and the arrows rained down......

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Only then did the soldiers react and let out a terrible scream.

Cao Gong's arrow, made of three-edged arrows, flew with a roar. Several soldiers were shot like hedgehogs in an instant and fell in pools of blood.

"Cao Jun is here!"

The rear army was in chaos.

Seeing the leopard cavalry roaring and about to rush into the military formation, it suddenly dispersed to both sides, and a black-armored heavy cavalry that many people had never seen before appeared in sight. Tiger rides up the mountain! Cao Peng took the lead, led the heavily armed tiger horsemen, and launched a swift attack.

"Tiger ride, gun."

With his order, the two thousand tiger horsemen divided into four teams, set up sharp spears, and rushed into the chaos with a roar. The spear, which was nearly four meters long, fiercely penetrated into the enemy's chest and flew out. Many of the soldiers were caught off guard and were hit by the galloping horses, as if they had hit a moving wall, and immediately flew out, breaking their bones and tendons.

In this era, heavy cavalry is definitely a first-class weapon.

Many of the soldiers in Liu Bei's army were temporarily recruited peasants...... Before that, they had never even been on the battlefield, let alone seen such a terrifying class. As the tiger cavalry broke into the enemy's army, Liu Bei's camp suddenly became chaotic...... And after the leopard riders dispersed, there was no chaos. Instead, under the leadership of Pound, he broke into the chaos with the tiger cavalry. Being charged by the tiger rider, the soldiers were already in chaos. The leopard knight took the opportunity to collect his bow and arrows, took out two cans of oil filled with tung oil from his horseback pocket, and smashed them out. A jar of fire oil fell to the ground, and then a fire fold flew down and immediately burst into flames.

Some oil canisters fell directly into the bonfire lit by Liu Bei's soldiers, and they exploded immediately.

The flying pottery shards blew up the people around the bonfire, and they fell to the ground screaming non-stop......

In less than a stick of incense, the fire on the Nagasaka slope soared into the sky, and the shouts of killing were endless. Liu Bei's troops were unable to organize effective resistance at all, and under the overwhelming charge of the tiger cavalry, they quickly routed and fled. The ordinary people who came with them were even more frightened. Seeing a group of knights like devils rushing over, they let out a series of exclamations.

Cao Peng, take the lead.

The halberd dances and rolls up a cloud of halberds.

Several enemy generals came on horseback, but they couldn't hold out even two or three rounds, so they were beheaded by Cao Peng.

"Lingming, do what you order."

After Cao Peng picked and killed an enemy general, he met the oncoming Pound.

In the firelight, Pang De was murderous, and the tiger roared like a post of the king of Hades, killing the enemy army with a river of blood. Hearing Cao Peng's shout, Pang De was stunned and immediately reacted. He remembered Cao Peng's previous advice to him, and hurriedly agreed, turned the horse's head and left.

In the distance, a group of enemy troops roared towards them.

In the firelight, the first military general, who was in his forties, was already gray. I saw him wearing armor, a long sword in his hand, and under the light of the fire, he waved his sword and shouted: "Hugh to panic, Hugh to panic...... I am the Zhonglang general Lu Zhu, and the Cao army is not many in number, block them, and follow me to stop them. ”

Moose?

Cao Peng's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth under the mask curled slightly, revealing a touch of coldness.

"Tiger Rider, Charge!"

He roared, and the lion and tiger beast under his crotch let out a long hiss, carrying Cao Peng and rushing towards Elk Zhu. The archers who had gathered in a hurry, under the command of Elk Zhu, immediately opened their bows and released arrows. It's just that in the face of Cao Peng, whose whole body was covered with iron armor, the whistling arrows didn't have any effect at all. Cao Peng danced the animated halberd, like a sharp arrow from the string, and rushed towards the enemy.

There is a way, it will be the courage of the soldiers.

The Lord will take the lead, and those heavily trained tiger riders will not be able to lag behind.

Their mounts are all from the Shandan Racecourse. Although it is not as strong as Cao Peng's lion and tiger beast, this explosive power is far stronger than that of ordinary cavalry. Just imagine, Cao Cao concentrated all his strength to train three thousand tiger horses.

One thousand of them are now staying with Cao Cao.

The remaining 2,000 tiger riders are concentrated on this small Nagasaka slope.

The Tiger Riders were divided into four teams, each with only five hundred men. The tiger knights who accompanied Cao Peng to charge were only in a group. But these five hundred horses made many people feel inexplicable fear. The momentum that roared and seemed to be like the sky was falling apart made many soldiers scream in fright, lose their weapons and turn around and leave. Arrows can't hurt the opponent, and once they rush over, they will surely die.

Lu Zhu didn't know where this strange cavalry came from.

Everyone wore masks, and the general in front made Lu Zhu feel extremely absurd.

Wearing a three-pronged golden crown of hair, wearing Tang Yi treasure armor, a lion jade belt around his waist, a black cloak, and a halberd in his palm...... Except that the horse is a little different, it seems to be the rebirth of the tiger. Lu Zhu was in Xuzhou back then, but he fought with Lu Bu a lot. Lu Bu's outfit is too familiar! And the countless vicious battles made Lu Zhu have a strong fear of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, alive again?

Lu Zhu was also taken aback by Cao Peng, who rushed over first.

Fortunately, he was also bold and did not lose his soul in fear...... Drawing his sword, he shouted, "Who is with me to take the head of the enemy?" ”

"Mi Zhonglang, a certain family is willing to go."

Before Lu Zhu could finish speaking, a general rushed out from behind.

This person jumped off the horse and was about seven feet six inches tall, dismounted from his crotch, shot in his hand, and rushed over with the wind generally facing Cao Peng. Lu Zhu recognized the man, his name was Gou An, a person from Nanyang County. Originally, he was a subordinate of the bandit Zhang Wu, but later defected to Liu Bei, and even presented Zhang Wu's mount, Lu Ma.

This Gou An can also be regarded as a strong martial artist, but he has never had a chance to show it.

Now that Lu Zhu gave an order, Gou An jumped his horse and rushed out. His feet were clasped in the stirrups, and his body was slightly bent on the horse, like a great bow. Seeing that he was about to rush to Cao Peng, Gou An suddenly roared, stood up, shook the big gun in his hand, and stabbed straight at Cao Peng. This shot can be said to have condensed the strength of Gou Security's department, as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder.

Who knows, Cao Peng didn't even look at it, and the halberd drew a strange arc in mid-air, and the bell slashed on the spine of Gou An's gun. A huge force came from the big gun, only to shake Gou An's two lists, the tiger's mouth burst, and the blood was dripping. Gou An yelled that it was not good, abandoned the gun and left. But you have already been sent to you, how can you go as you wish? Cao Peng's halberd collapsed Gou An's weapon, but with his other hand, he took out an iron meteor from his crotch pocket, raised his hand to send it out, and flew towards Gou An.

As soon as this iron meteor came out, Lu Zhuke recognized Cao Peng.

He shouted, "Gou An, be careful! ”

Gou An was urging the horse to gallop, when he suddenly heard the sound of the golden wind behind his head and the shouts of the elk Zhu, he subconsciously looked back......

Iron Meteor was in front of him, Gou An couldn't dodge, and was hit by Iron Meteor in front of the door. The iron meteor in Cao Peng's hand now is very different from the iron meteor he used at the beginning. First of all, the weight has become much heavier...... When he was in Liangzhou, Cao Peng's iron meteor was about a catty, but now, it weighed two catties. The volume has not changed, but the weight is much heavier.

And Cao Peng, after three years of ghost salary in Xingyang, his martial arts have tended to be complete.

This iron meteor flew out, carrying nearly a hundred catties of force. only heard a snapping sound, and the iron meteor slapped on Gou An's face door, smashing Gou An's face door into it. Gou An screamed and fell from his horse to the dust. The liger roared, and its iron hooves stomped on Gou An's chest, crushing Gou An's sternum. Then, five hundred tiger riders roared past, leaving only a puddle of rotten meat on the ground.

Gou An's death was killed with one move, which made the already panicked soldiers suddenly become even more panicked.

Although Lu Zhu desperately gathered the sergeants, seeing that the tiger cavalry was getting closer and closer, those soldiers shouted in unison, turned their heads and left......

"Mi Zhonglang, the general trend has gone, go quickly."

Several relatives shouted loudly, and Lu Zhu helplessly looked at Cao Peng, who was getting closer and closer, shouted, and turned the horse away.

His departure also made the situation even more chaotic. Four thousand tigers and leopards rode upside down, plus Cao Peng's eight hundred relatives, less than 5,000 people, but Changban Slope, where more than 10,000 people gathered, turned the world upside down. Lu Zhu hugged the horse's neck and walked away in embarrassment, and the shouts of killing behind him became more and more blurred.

Just when he was relieved, thinking that the danger had passed, he suddenly heard the bell ringing in front of him......

Elk Zhu was so frightened that he immediately looked up and watched!
