Chapter 116: The Ambition of the Heavy Infantry

The third update arrives, ask for a recommendation vote!

"Really, the land of Bingzhou, the land is vast and sparsely populated, affected by the Xiongnu and Xianbei, mostly cavalry, and the spears and spears used by the Bingzhou soldiers are far longer than the weapons of the Central Plains, so it seems that the battle is going to suffer!" Muttering in his mouth, Han Fei slapped the location of the state on the map.

The battle of Tiger Prison Pass was nearing its end, and Han Fei had to think about the next step.

According to the original plan, merging the state is where he will build his foundation in the future, and now, he has to face it. As the saying goes, the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny, Han Fei fantasizes about getting the state, but when he thinks of the cavalry galloping on the land of the state, he can't help but have a headache.

Not to mention that he only has 1,000 soldiers, even if he is 10,000, all of them are infantry, it is difficult for him to make any waves in the land of the state.

Whether it is Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army, or the Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang, or even other counties, it is not so easy to deal with, speaking of which, Zhang Yang is the easiest, because his army is also all infantry troops.

Only then did Han Fei know that what he thought at the beginning was a little too simple.

Perhaps, we can only rely on that one thing......

"Lord," I don't know when, Guo Jia stood behind him, and when he saw Han Fei's frowning appearance, he couldn't help but ask, "But what's the trouble?" ”

Seeing that it was Guo Jia, Han Fei didn't hide anything, and told his worries.

If Guo Jia hadn't been submissive to him, Han Fei would naturally not say this, but he had already been submissive, and Han Fei wouldn't have so much to care about, and Han Fei believed that if he told Guo Jia, nine times out of ten, this "ghost" could come up with any good ideas for himself, if he couldn't do anything about the cavalry, then Guo Jia would not be Guo Jia.

"The small number of troops is not a problem, but you can temporarily occupy a city and plan it slowly. As for the cavalry ......" Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "Maybe learn from General Koji's training method, his 'first to die soldiers' is not afraid of the cavalry's charge at all, but unfortunately, he is the father of the lord, how inconvenient it is." ”

Han Fei smiled bitterly, Guo Jia said this, he never thought that in comparison, Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant was stronger than the cavalry of the state, and in front of the first deceased, he could only retreat. As Guo Jia said, Koji Yi is still his father's person, and if he wants to learn from his training method, will Koji hide something?

If you don't draw a tiger and don't become an anti-cat, it's not cost-effective.

"In fact, there were many examples of infantry defeating cavalry in the previous dynasties, such as Wei Wushu...... As far as Jia knows, as long as the cavalry charge can be effectively contained, then the cavalry will not be afraid. Guo Jia said again.

Han Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes: Isn't this nonsense!

"Jia guessed that if the armor worn by the infantry was heavy enough and strong enough, would it be able to contain the cavalry charge...... "Guo Jia was unsure.

"Wait!" Han Fei's eyes lit up, grabbed Guo Jia's hand, and asked eagerly, "Fengxiao, what did you just say?" Say it again! ”

Guo Jia was startled, and said a little stunned: "This...... Uh, Jia Fang just said to stop the cavalry charge......"

"Not this sentence, not this sentence, next sentence!" Han Fei waved his hand hurriedly.

Guo Jia understood Han Fei a little, "Jia said that if the armor worn by the infantry is heavy enough and strong enough, ......"

"Yes, that's it!" Han Fei's eyebrows danced.

Damn, why did the master forget about the existence of hoplites? Ge Laozi!

Yuan Shao's "Euphorbia" is an existence that makes Gongsun Zhan's "White Horse Yicong" have a headache!

As a high-end force in the era of cold weapons, the status of the cavalry is equivalent to that of the actual tank when the world was conquered, except for a small number of infantry, such as the first death soldier commanded by Ju Yi at the boundary bridge, Yuan Shao's halberd soldier and Gao Shun's trap camp, the biggest enemy of the cavalry is the cavalry itself. Historically, Cao Cao was able to get more horses because of their geographical advantages, so the number of cavalry in Cao Cao's army far exceeded that of Sun and Liu.

Cavalry is undoubtedly a well-deserved king of all arms in ancient times, which is the fundamental reason why it is difficult to fight from north to south no matter which dynasty, and it is even more difficult to make a fortune from the south.

Southern Less Horses!

However, obviously, relying only on cavalry, it is indeed a bit difficult to fight the world, Genghis Khan claims to be a bow and cavalry to fight the world, but also with the help of infantry, after all, cavalry in the north of these few cities, is invincible, but in the south of the city dense and many rivers in the area, siege is a problem.

The worst thing cavalry is at is siege.

"Lord, what are you?" Seeing Han Fei rushing to the front of the table, grabbing the pen, and drawing one figure after another on the silk silk, until Han Fei finished drawing, two hours had passed, Guo Jia couldn't help but ask.

"This is hoplite!"

Han Fei looked at the pattern he had drawn, his eyes flashed with pride, cavalry, it's not terrible!

What Guo Jia didn't know was that these pictures drawn by Han Fei were based on all the elite infantry materials he knew, from the Greek hoplites, Macedonian infantry, ancient Roman infantry in the west, and the Qin infantry phalanx and the Han infantry phalanx in the east, all of which were copied by Han Fei.

The tower shield of the Western heavy infantry is easy to make, and it is enough to make an eight-foot-high shield from thick giant wood with cowhide and bronze, but it is really not good, and a simple wooden shield can also cope with it. However, the handle behind the shield is very particular, not only to facilitate the soldier's front grip, but also to be able to hold it sideways, and in order to ensure the soldier's vision, a slot must be cut above the shield.

The training of one-handed swords is relatively difficult, and Han Fei simply replaced the one-handed sword with a Mo knife that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty. The bow and crossbow are ready-made, and Han Fei even stipulated that in addition to the crossbowmen, all the infantry should bring a longbow and a pot of arrows (twenty), anyway, the cavalry charge is very dense, and the bow and arrow are played with cover shooting, as long as the bow can be pulled apart and the arrow can be shot out, this requirement is like playing for this group of strong, nutritious hoplites. According to Han Fei's setting, the halberd shaft is as thick as an egg, and the tail support from the tip of the halberd to the halberd rod is three zhang long, and the man who doesn't have the strength to do it really can't use it. The reason why Han Fei let them use this kind of halberd is that this kind of halberd can not only assassinate, but also the small branches of the halberd can be cut and killed. It can even hook the horse's legs when necessary, which is really a good facility for infantry to deal with cavalry. The tail of the halberd is also a sharp three-piercing armor cone, which is to facilitate the halberd to be inserted into the ground, and it is also convenient for soldiers to stab the wounded enemy soldiers on the ground.

As for the armor, it was a real plate armor from the West, and he hoped to form a luxuriously equipped and majestic fully armored hoplite in the east of the world.

The infantry phalanxes of the West and the infantry phalanxes of the Qin and Han dynasties all have a common feature, that is, a mixed phalanx composed of different arms, including cavalry. It is called an infantry phalanx because the cavalry there is only a vanguard and wing, and sometimes an assault force. However, the phalanx designed by Han Fei was a pure heavy infantry phalanx. In addition to the relatively single weapons and equipment, the number of people is also a little less, the only place to be equipped is the Wugang car first used by the general Wei Qing, which can not only reduce the burden on the soldiers during the march and ensure their physical strength during the battle, but also bring more bows and arrows and military rations, so that the soldiers can prolong the time of fighting.

As for the Wugang car, it has excellent defensive performance and transportation capabilities, and is completely regarded by Huang Xiao as an armored transport vehicle for future generations, and even, after putting on a war horse with thick armor, it can be used as a combat vehicle, almost catching up with a tank without thermal weapons!

Although this phalanx of heavy infantry was not as diverse as those of the famous armies, Han Fei expected it to play an unexpected role in the face of cavalry charges when fighting with large armies. Whether it is a bow and crossbow, a spear, or a chain hammer, it is not something that the lightly armed cavalry of other princes can easily break through.

"What is this?"

"Tower Shield!"

"Where's this?"

"Mo Dao!"

"This halberd ......"

“……”

"Lord, isn't this armor a little ...... Well, Jia mean, our blacksmiths don't seem to have any experience in this kind of armor, right? Can it really be made? Finally, Guo Jia pointed to the pattern of the plate armor and said faintly.

"Uh, this ......" Han Fei was a little dumbfounded.

It seems that the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty really didn't have such technology, not even the technology to build the Mo knife!

When he landed, a basin of cold water was poured from his head, and he was full of joy, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye, and there was nothing left.

"However, if there is a pattern, maybe after a few tests, Old Man Ou can find the key to it, and it may not be impossible to ...... it if it is really cast," Guo Jia said again.

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Han Fei's eyes: Yes, the creative ability of human beings is unlimited, not to mention the pattern!

"It's just that it is absolutely impossible to achieve it in the short term, not to mention whether it can be built, just to form such an army, I am afraid that the cost is not a few, the lord, you ......" Guo Jia said this, and stopped.

Han Fei heard the meaning of Guo Jia's words, that is, he didn't have enough financial resources to form such an army now!

"Hehe, I'm in a hurry." Han Fei smiled bitterly.

At this moment, he missed Gao Shun's "trapped camp" more and more, Lu Bu, Lu Bu, how long do you have to hesitate?

Master's patience is limited!

"This should be the Wugang car used by the great general Wei Qing, right?" Guo Jia pointed to the Wugang car drawn by Han Feihua and said: "This car can be built, even if it is wooden, it can effectively contain the charge of the cavalry when it is placed in front of the battle array......
