Chapter 171: Heavy Armored Iron Horse

King Lin Hu's reaction was quick.

In fact, King Linhu was also forced to be helpless, since Lou Annoying people got that batch of double-edged swords, they began to constantly attack the pastures of the Linhu tribe, and at the same time unscrupulously plundered the cattle, sheep and livestock of the Linhu people, King Linhu suspected that if it were not for the Central Plains people still in Jiuyuan, King Lou Annoying might have launched a large army to attack the Linhu tribe.

Therefore, the Linhu tribe cannot afford to wait, and must trade weapons sufficient for self-protection from the Central Plains people as soon as possible.

In the afternoon of the next day, King Linhu drove more than 300 miles to Jiuyuan with 5,000 cavalry, accompanied by more than 220 horses with a shoulder height of more than 8 feet, and 2,400 horses with a shoulder height of more than 7 feet.

Of course, King Linhu thinks that this deal is completely worth it, for the Linhu tribe, BMWs and good horses are easy to obtain, but bed crossbows and catapults with amazing lethality are very rare, and the Linhu tribe has this batch of sharp weapons, and they are afraid that they will not be able to hold the clouds? As long as you keep the grassland in the clouds, are you afraid that you won't be able to breed more good horses and BMWs?

After the deal was completed, King Lin Hu carried away 500 bed crossbows and 50 catapults overnight.

In order to keep it secret, King Lin Hu even refused Xiang Zhuang's kindness to send troops to escort him, and it is estimated that he will not go the same way when he returns to Yunzhong, so as not to annoy Lou and intercept him halfway.

Let's not talk about the Lin Hu people who returned to the clouds overnight, and then talk about the Chu army.

The two thousand four hundred horses were quickly divided, and this time Xiang Zhuang spoke, and all the armies were divided into six hundred.

However, more than 220 BMWs were left behind by Xiang Zhuang, looking at this batch of BMWs with a shoulder height of more than eight feet and a body size almost no different from the black horse, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but hesitate, he now has two choices, one is to distribute this batch of BMWs to the generals of various armies as mounts, and then to use these BMWs to form a real heavy armored iron cavalry

Xiang Zhuang originally planned to use a good horse with a height of seven feet to form a heavy cavalry, but it turned out that it would not work.

The weight bearing capacity of a good horse with a height of seven feet at the shoulder is enough, but after carrying the cavalry with heavy armor and a spear in hand, the speed cannot get up at all, and the real intimidating thing about the heavy cavalry is its unstoppable impact, once the speed cannot get up, the heavy cavalry is also an ornament, and any light soldier can easily kill the heavy cavalry armed to the teeth.

However, this batch of BMW horses is eight feet tall at the shoulder, larger in size, and more powerful, even if they carry a weight of 500 catties, there will definitely be no situation where they cannot get off the speed, that is, the number is too small, and the number of 200 heavy armored iron horses is still too small, and at most it can only be used as a tactical strike force, and it is difficult to become a strategic force that determines the outcome of the battle.

Wei Yu didn't know what Xiang Zhuang was thinking, and asked at the moment: "General, what to do with this batch of BMWs?" ”

Wei Yu is not like Xiang Zhuang who crossed over, so naturally it is impossible to know what heavy cavalry is, you know, in this era, even stirrups and Takahashi saddles have just appeared, and as for the horseshoe, it is far from the time when it has appeared, so the cavalry is only an auxiliary army, how can there be heavy cavalry?

Xiang Zhuang said: "Strategist, I want to select more than 200 tall and strong warriors with superb riding skills from the army, let them wear the strongest iron armor, hold the sharpest spears, and then ride on the same heavy armor BMW, as a force used to crush the enemy's defensive formation, what do you think?" ”

Wei Yi said awe-inspiringly: "Such a cavalry, the lethality should be amazing."

In military affairs, many things are interconnected, so although Wei Yu had never heard of or seen heavy cavalry, Xiang Zhuang just said that, and he immediately realized the huge lethality of heavy cavalry.

Xiang Zhuang nodded and said, "Isn't the lethality amazing? It's simply invincible."

"Then what is the general hesitating about?" "Hurry up and form such a cavalry." Xiang Zhuang sighed: "But the problem is that there are not enough skilled warriors in the army. ”

Like Pang Yu, Gao Chu, You Yuan, Bai Limao, Xiao Kai and others, they are all tall and strong, and their riding skills are excellent, but they can't all be transferred as heavy cavalry, in this case, there will be no one to lead the troops.

Wei Yu stroked the long hair under his chin, and suddenly said: "General, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

Xiang Zhuang solemnized his hands and said, "Strategist, if there is anything to scruple between you and me, if you have something to say, just say it directly." ”

"That's the old man." Wei Yu nodded, and said, "It is difficult to select two hundred tall and strong warriors with superb riding skills from the 20,000 soldiers of our army, but has the general thought about it, almost all of the five thousand Qin army soldiers in Jiuyuan City meet the conditions of the general, and there is almost no need to choose."

Xiang Zhuang frowned and said, "The problem is, Meng Yan doesn't want to return to Chu. ”

Wei Yu said in a low voice: "Meng Yan is unwilling to return to Chu, because he is unwilling to turn his back on the Meng family motto, unwilling to turn his back on the Ying family, if the general marries Princess Ying Zhen, then the Ying family and the Xiang family will become a family, if Meng Yan wants to continue to protect the Ying family, he must also protect the Xiang family, then the five thousand Qin iron cavalry in Jiuyuan City will all belong to the general." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "But in this way, the 30,000 old and young women and children in Jiuyuan City must be taken away." ”

Wei Yu stopped talking, this is indeed a very real problem, the five thousand Qin Iron Cavalry in Jiuyuan City is indeed a coveted force, but the 30,000 old and young women and children are indeed a burden, you can't just take away the five thousand Qin Army Iron Cavalry, but leave their wives and children in Jiuyuan, right? Not a lot of words

After a long time, Wei Yu said: "If the general intends to marry Princess Yingzhen, the old man is willing to go and say something, and the old man dares to pat his chest and promise that this family matter will be successful." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said, "Let's talk about this later." ”

Wei Yi sighed, he didn't say anything more, he knew that Xiang Zhuang was a very decisive person, Xiang Zhuang said this, most of them had already seen that Princess Yingzhen was a very scheming and ambitious person, so most of them were not willing to provoke her, it seems that whether this family matter can be done depends on whether Yingzhen can move Wei Yue.

##########

When Xiang Zhuang returned to his tent after inspecting the heavy camp, it was already dark.

On the side of the baggage camp, the craftsmen are busy making the Takahashi saddle and the wooden stirrups, and the father and daughter of the public car are busy tinkering with the repeater designed by Xiang Zhuang.

"Husband, are you back?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wei Yue lifted the curtain.

Since that day of hunting, the relationship between Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yue has improved significantly.

Xiang Zhuang smiled in return, he was born (crossed) because of killing, and he may die because of killing in the future, but this does not mean that he doesn't like the warmth of home, Xiang Zhuang is bloodthirsty, cruel, ruthless, and hard-hearted, but this does not mean that he doesn't like **female love, in fact, Xiang Zhuang also enjoys**female love.

Xiang Zhuang took off his armor and took off his boots under Wei Yue's service.

As soon as he sat down at the table, Wei Yue brought a large pot of mutton soup and said softly, "Husband, eat." ”

Since coming to Hetao, Chu Jun has eaten meat every day, and Xiang Zhuang is a little tired, but this mutton soup is made by Wei Yue, so naturally it is another matter, so he happily took it and ate it in a hurry, Wei Yue picked up a piece of dough from the side, carefully pulled it into small pieces first, and then put it into Xiang Zhuang's mutton soup one by one.

Xiang Zhuang thought to himself, this is probably the earliest mutton steamed bun, right? Not a lot of words

Seeing that Xiang Zhuang was eating a lot, Wei Yue said diligently: "Husband, is it delicious?" ”。 ..., "It's delicious, it's delicious." Xiang Zhuang smiled and nodded, but tears were flowing in his heart, it was really unpalatable, salty and fat, and there were several pieces of mutton with blood, but can you say this?

Wei Yue suddenly thought of Ying Zhen and sighed: "Sister Shiman is so pitiful. ”

"Sister Shiman?" Xiang Zhuang was stunned and asked, "Who is Shiman, why do you have a sister?" ”

Wei Yue said: "It's Princess Yingzhen, Shiman is the word given to her by the First Emperor when she was young." ”

"She?" Xiang Zhuang was a little bored, and said lightly, "Okay, why did you suddenly mention her?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think she's a little pitiful." Wei Yue shook her head and said in a quiet voice, "When we leave, she is afraid that she will inevitably marry Lou because of the safety of the old Qin people." ”

"Annoying?" Xiang Zhuang said, "That's it, I'll kill all the annoying people in Lou another day."

"Huh?" Wei Yue was taken aback when she heard this, she didn't expect that she could decide the life and death of more than 100,000 people in the Loufu tribe with one sentence, and said urgently, "Husband, Yue Niang doesn't mean this, really doesn't mean this, you must not kill people because of Yue Niang, okay?" Please, husband......"

"Silly girl." Xiang Zhuang thought that this little lady was really simple and kind, so he immediately slapped Wei Yue's little nose and said with a smile, "Look at you, I'm in a hurry, and I'm playing with you for my husband." ”

Wei Yue breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and said, "Husband, can we take away the old Qin people of Jiuyuan?" “

In Wei Yue's mind, if the Chu army could take away all the old Qin people in Jiuyuan, Ying Zhen would have no worries, and he would not have to sacrifice himself to marry the Hu people.

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but glance at Wei Yue, but Wei Yue's eyes were still clear, and there was no flickering because of Xiang Zhuang's gaze, and then Xiang Zhuang sighed and said: "Yue Niang, let me tell you the truth, I really want the five thousand Qin Iron Horsemen in Jiuyuan City, but the thirty thousand old and young women and children in the city, we really can't take them away." ”

Wei Yue seemed to want to argue, but Xiang Zhuang stretched out a finger and gently covered her small mouth.

Xiang Zhuang did not say nonsense, from Jiuyuan back to Jiangdong, how long did the journey end thousands of miles? If you want to take 30,000 old and young women and children to travel back to Jiangdong for a long time, it is simply a fantasy, which is also one of the reasons why Xiang Zhuang hesitated to marry Ying Zhen, otherwise, Xiang Zhuang would really be afraid of Ying Zhen? A little lady, no matter how scheming she is, what can she do? ……,
