Chapter 161: Stirrups, Ringhead Knife
"Bell!"
A crisp sound sounded in a corner of the Qin army camp, and there were three thousand soldiers around it to defend it, which was the baggage of the Qin army camp.
Zhao Jun was in a tent in the baggage camp, holding a long knife with a ring in his left hand and a Qin army-style long sword in his right hand.
The swords collided, and after the crisp sound, the victory and defeat were distinguished, and the tremor of the blade brought a touch of coldness, while the sword roared sadly, cracks were everywhere, and the edge gaps were obvious, eclipsed.
"Click!"
"Ka!"
Zhao Jun forcefully touched the swords continuously, and this time the sound was extremely harsh.
I saw that the sword body was trembling, but there was still nothing abnormal, but the crack on the sword body suddenly expanded, separating the entire sword body, instantly breaking into two halves, and half of it fell to the ground.
There is no doubt that compared to the sword, the Qin army's long sword was completely defeated!
The baby's eyes widened with an incredulous expression.
Yingbu was also shocked, and then his eyes released a light like a hungry wolf, as if he had found the best prey.
Tang Li shouted beside him: "Three times, just three times, the Qin Army's standard long sword, which represents the most advanced in the world, was actually broken, what a sharp weapon this is." ”
Although Cao Wushu and Hu Hai went to Linzi to transport materials, because Zhao Jun had extremely strict requirements for this batch of ordnance, and it had always been under the jurisdiction of the baggage battalion of several women, the two did not have a chance to see the true face of Lushan.
Now, the two of them looked at the sharpness and domineering of the ring head knife, and they were stunned in a daze, what does this mean? It means that when a soldier faces the enemy, he only needs three moves not to die, and then the one who dies must be the enemy, because after three moves, the enemy's weapon will be broken.
Zhao Jun nodded with satisfaction, with the ring-headed sword that was born in advance, the combat power of the soldiers and horses under his command could be at least doubled.
Of course, the most important thing about the ring-headed knife is not its sharpness, but its flow line uses assassination, the thick back is heavy and conducive to slashing, and because the center of gravity is concentrated on the hilt, one-handed swinging is also lighter than the sword, which is more conducive to exerting strength, and it is much more convenient than a long sword in combat.
"Pass the order, except for half of the spearmen, the ordinary infantry will immediately replace the ring-headed sword, and the other person will be equipped with a small shield to form a sword and shield soldier, and the long sword will be transported back to Linzi and returned to the furnace." Zhao Jun finally ordered.
The people in the tent also nodded when they heard this, there was really no need to keep the swordsmen.
In the end, Zhao Jun took out a Tang-style horizontal knife, this kind of knife is stronger than the ring head knife, but due to the process and materials, the manufacturing is quite complicated, can not be mass-produced, only six hundred were built in a few years, Zhao Jun thought about it, he was equipped with five hundred iron guards, and the remaining one hundred were awarded to the generals under his command.
"My lord, try your stirrups and saddles." With the precedent of the ring-headed knife, everyone began to say to Zhao Jun that they could generate a military transformative stirrup curiosity.
"Okay, go and lead two horses, which of you would like to cover up with me?" Zhao Jun said.
Hu Hai shouted, "I'll come." ”
"Okay."
When the people left the camp, there was a wide open space outside, and the soldiers brought two ordinary military horses.
Zhao Jun motioned for Hu Hai to mount his horse, but he took out a pair of saddles and stirrups from the camp and hung them up, and then rode on the horse.
The horseshoe was nailed to the military horse as early as two months ago, in fact, at this time there was already the meaning of protecting the horse's hooves, but they were all wrapped in cloth strips on the horses' hooves, but under normal circumstances, horses did not need to gallop quickly, so they rarely paid attention to the horses' hooves, and no one wanted to nail iron palms on the horses' hooves.
It's just that Zhao Jun understands that once there is a horse iron and a saddle, the horse will become the mainstream of war, and it needs to run and gallop, and it is not possible to protect the horse's hooves at all, so it is imperative to nail the horseshoe.
At first, everyone was puzzled, and thought that if the horseshoe was nailed to the horse's leg, the horse would definitely not be able to stand the pain and go crazy.
However, after Zhao Jun's personal demonstration, they were dumbfounded, except for some panic, the horses did not react much, and after a little adaptation, they were even more happy, as if they had a treasure.
In the end, Zhao Jun said a very simple truth, if someone stabs your hand with a sword, it will hurt, but will it hurt to stab your fingernails?
Zhao Jun just put the position of the horseshoe nail on the thick and sturdy horseshoe armor of the horse's hoof, and there would be no problem at all.
After Zhao Jun got on the horse, he sat firmly on the saddle of Gaoqiao with one butt, firmly inserted his feet into the stirrups, held the reins of the horse in one hand, and held the Fang Tian painting halberd in the other, and the whole person was fixed on the horse.
"Hu Hai, you are riding an ordinary horse now, and I am riding a harness, now we will compete, and you will understand the difference." A teasing smile appeared at the corner of Zhao Jun's mouth.
Hu Hai was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Jun but didn't see any mystery, and couldn't help but say: "Okay, come and come." ”
After that, Hu Hai pressed his body with one hand, and was about to hit with a hammer in the other.
It's just that Zhao Jun is faster, his legs knock on the horse's belly, his hands shake the horse's reins, and with a 'whoosh', the horse neighs and moves, and rushes up violently, even the people and the horse are like a whole, fierce as thunder.
The surrounding onlookers couldn't help but be surprised, they saw clearly, the horse ran up instantly, and Zhao Jun's body did not shake at all, as if nailed to the horse's back, generally speaking, the horse began to accelerate slowly to prevent being caught off guard by the horse, but Zhao Jun was completely contrary to common sense just now, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he was not fixed hard.
Hu Hai also noticed that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to imitate, so he could only speed up slowly, and he had to use half of his mind to stabilize the horse.
When they were one zhang apart, Hu Hai's horses had not yet run, but the speed of Zhao Jun's horses was completely raised, and his momentum had risen.
"Hah!" Zhao Jun shouted, suddenly let go of the reins of the horse, held Fang Tian's halberd with both hands, and smashed it high towards Hu Hai.
Hu Hai was so shocked that he could only raise a hammer with one arm to resist, however, at this time, Zhao Jun's body suddenly tilted, and when he leaned forward, the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand suddenly changed its trajectory and smashed it from the side.
"Ahh With a miserable scream, Hu Hai was like a leather ball, he was slapped off his horse by Zhao Jun's halberd, and he fell into a lot of meat and eight vegetarians, and it took him half a day to get up.
As soon as Zhao Jun lifted the reins of the horse, he did not make any effort, and firmly stopped the horse, calming down, as if the violent move just now was effortless.
"Awesome, it's amazing."
Hu Hai stood up and trembled excitedly, he had just felt the power of a move in Zhao Jun's hand, like a hammer of the Nine Heavens, if it wasn't for Zhao Jun collecting most of his strength in time and using Fang Tian's halberd plane, he might have been shot to death with one move.
The others also stared at each other in shock, with a look of ecstasy, people borrowed the horse's momentum, and the horse helped others, completely exerting the power of the cavalry to the limit, and they just saw it very clearly, with stirrups and saddles, when fighting, Zhao Jun did not have to exert effort to control the horses.
And wait to change the body shape at any time, which is unimaginable in the original existence, no matter how high your martial arts are, there is no hooves and saddles, and it is impossible to twist the upper body and change the trajectory of the move when making a move.
Speed, strength, skill, and explosion are vividly reflected in Zhao Jun's move just now, and those present are not stupid people, this must be equipped with all cavalry, and every cavalry can exert unparalleled combat effectiveness.
Moreover, once the cavalry rushes in large quantities, the overall combat effectiveness formed will be unimaginable, plus there are horseshoes, the horses are not afraid of long-distance galloping, or fighting for a long time on rugged roads, which greatly saves horsepower and protects the safety of the horses.
"With this divine thing, the lord will unify the world, just around the corner." Tang Li spoke up first, when others didn't know that these two things existed, Zhao Jun had the meaning of these things, and the fool also understood.
As Zhao Jun said, this will be a military change, and they will stand at the forefront of the change and give priority to enjoying the power brought by the change.
At this time, everyone suddenly bowed down together and said in unison: "May the Lord determine the world fairly and expand the territory." ”
"Okay, haha." Zhao Junxue said: "The order goes down, the whole army will change its clothes uniformly, I will give you five days, and after five days, I will break the enemy army, and the soldiers must be familiar with these two things in the war." ”
After several years of domestication, selling and other channels, there are now nearly 50,000 horses in the whole army, and Zhao Jun has already let some people learn to ride, as long as the equipment is in place, they can immediately become cavalry, but they lack a chance to run in, and Zhao and Yan are undoubtedly the best test stones.
When the affairs of the north are dealt with, presumably the soldiers and horses under his command should also be completely familiar with the new ordnance, and at that time, it will be a nightmare for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.
"No!" When everyone heard this, they all went down in high spirits.
Zhao Jun also returned to the county guard mansion in the city, but at this time, the white shadow appeared.
"My lord, one of the enemy generals is interested in joining us, and he is now in the camp of the military minister." The white shadow came to the back road.
Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment and asked, "What's it called, is it reliable?" ”
Bai Ying said: "His name is Li Liang, he is a general under the command of Wuchen, he returned to Handan after the failure of the attack on Jingjingguan some time ago, but he was humiliated by Wuchen's sister, and then came to the Wuchen camp here, and Wuchen did not make decisions with him, so he was resentful."
He was originally one of our rebellions, and he had contact with him from the beginning, but he was hesitant at first, and then he was reprimanded by the military ministers before he made up his mind. ”
"Li Liang?" Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, but he remembered that there was indeed such a person in history, Wuchen was killed by him, but the time and place were different, and later he took refuge in Zhang Han, it seems that it was because of his little butterfly that changed his fate.
After thinking about it, Zhao Jun said: "You appease him first, and then I will act after I agree on a plan with the military advisor." ”
Originally, Zhao Jun wanted to attack Zhao and Yan, but he didn't expect Li Liang to appear at this time, but he was really sleepy and came to the pillow.
"No." Bai Ying clenched his fists and agreed, and was about to leave.
"Wait." Zhao Jun asked again: "What is the situation with the Northern Army?" ”
After hearing this, Bai Ying replied: "Back to the lord, the news has come back, Mr. Kuai has successfully persuaded Meng Dashuai, and now Meng Shuai has commanded 200,000 troops with General Ruan Weng Zhong to guard against the Xiongnu south, and he himself has personally led 100,000 soldiers and horses to support the emperor. ”
"Well, I know, you go down first."
Zhao Jun waved his hand and pondered, Meng Tian would listen to his advice He expected, what he was worried about now was how long the emperor could support it, although with Meng Tian, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were not simple people.
Now, what Zhao Jun thinks to himself is that before the end of the Sanchuan War, he can defeat the Zhao and Yan armies and occupy the northern land, so that he has half of the country, and the initiative of the war at that time is also in his own hands, and he can advance and retreat freely.
After thinking about it, Zhao Jun asked Zhou Chang to come over again, and asked him to send more scouts to pay close attention to the battle situation in Sanchuan County, so that he could make a correct judgment. (To be continued.) )
