When Zhao Yun walked out of the east gate, he had already removed the special Takahashi saddle and the two-legged stirrup made of pure steel, and only hung an ordinary flat saddle sheath and an ordinary left-legged stirrup on the war horse.

The shape of the saddle is like a thick-shelled vest on the horse's back, which is sewn from multiple layers of cowhide and sinks down a little at the saddle of the rider's hips, which makes the rider comfortable to sit on and increases stability. Of course, there is an absolute gap between this widely used saddle and the Takahashi saddle that Liu He has set after repeated trials, and it is not the same level in terms of stability for the rider.

In addition to the saddle sheath, the more important thing is the stirrup. In the late Han Dynasty, the stirrup was widely used on one foot, and its function was only to help the rider to make it easier to get on the horse, and it was much worse in terms of providing stability.

The combination of the Takahashi saddle and the two-foot stirrup is an isosceles triangle from the cross-section, which can not only play a fixed role with each other, but also provide great help to the rider embedded in the saddle groove, so that when the rider fights on horseback, he can completely free one hand holding the reins and turn it into a two-handed knife, a long-handled weapon or even turn around and draw the bow to shoot backwards.

The rogue cavalry tactic "Mangugu", which swept across Eurasia in later generations, was based on the combination of a high bridge saddle, a pedal and a Mongolian bow. Without the first two as support, the rider would not dare to turn around and shoot backwards, unless it is a particularly good individual.

Zhao Yun asked the guards to quietly replace the two important harnesses with ordinary styles, mainly out of the need for secrecy. Takahashi saddle and two-foot stirrup is not an epoch-making high-tech product, just a blind spot in the creative thinking of people in this era, if he used these two equipment to defeat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in today's war, I believe that it will not take long for the soldiers of Gongsun Zan to fight outside the city to discover the mystery, followed by large-scale imitation.

As the head coach of the riding battalion, Zhao Yun has fully understood the great role that Takahashi's saddle and stirrups can play when combined. He very much agrees with Liu He's definition of these two pieces of equipment as "strategic equipment that can turn the tide of the war", so he is extremely cautious in how to use the Takahashi saddle and stirrups, and he will not expose the Takahashi saddle and stirrups to the world until the critical moment when the war is won or lost.

Although he lacked the assistance of Takahashi's saddle and two-foot stirrups, Zhao Yun was wearing pure steel armor with the strongest protective ability, and the war horse was also covered with armor carefully made by craftsmen, so he still had a certain advantage and was very confident in this battle.

Behind Zhao Yun, Tai Shi Ci was wearing a bright silver armor of the same style, holding an ordinary spear, and riding a white war horse.

In fact, most of the outfits that Tai Shici is using now are provided by Zhao Yun. At the beginning, Liu He's "eccentric eye" gave Zhao Yun two sets of Mingguang armor at one time, one of which was painted with pure black lacquer, and one set maintained the bright silver color of Mingguang armor itself, the purpose was to allow Zhao Yun to use it during the day and at night.

When the sun shines, the bright light armor can reflect bright and dazzling light, which has no effect on the wearer itself, but can interfere with the opponent's line of sight, which can be described as a powerful "yin man" attribute. However, wearing this kind of armor to carry out a sneak attack at night is very easy to become a moving target for the defenders' archers, so Liu He prepared a set of black armor painted with raw lacquer for Zhao Yun.

In terms of protection ability alone, Ming armor and black armor are actually exactly the same.

The white horse that Tai Shici rode was also selected by Liu He from tens of thousands of war horses and specially assigned to Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun subdued the big black wild horse, this kind of wild guy can go to the battlefield desperately, but it is a bit unruly to ride every day, so he needs to prepare several other war horses as a replacement.

Tai Shici came from Liaodong to defect for a short time, Liu He had not had time to tailor armor and weapons for him, and because he had not made an inch, it was not good to give him the best horse immediately, so this time he encountered Guan Yu and suffered a big loss.

As for the long halberd used by Tai Shici, it had been damaged and lost yesterday, and he couldn't find a very good long soldier for a while, so he had to use Sun Li's weapon.

Sun Li is very strong, and now he is still in the period of strength growth, and his usual weapons are two long-handled axes, but they are not suitable for immediate combat, so Liu He specially asked people to prepare a long knife and a spear for him, which Sun Li chose and used by himself.

In order to exercise Sun Li's arm strength, the barrel of the gun is made of pure steel, although it is a little short, but it is full of weight, and it is absolutely good to exercise strength. Sun Li usually uses it to practice assassination on horseback, but after going to the battlefield, he likes to use a long-handled horse chopping knife.

Sun Li's strength is a little difficult to use with this iron spear, but it is just right to change Tai Shi Ci! The long weapon used by Tai Shi Ci was originally a long halberd, but the halberd, spear, and spear, which are three weapons with blades at the front end, also have something in common, like some basic actions, such as: piercing, picking, blocking, dialing, smashing, etc., are actually similar, so Tai Shi Ci can also use them in his hand.

Yesterday, Tai Shici's long halberd was slashed by Guan Yu, and today he took this iron spear out, which will definitely make Guan Yu break the long knife out a few times......

In addition to following Tai Shici, Zhao Yun was accompanied by fifty black-armored iron cavalry, who went out of the city not to fight with the enemy's tens of thousands of troops, but as a response force, the enemy's generals led the tail to chase and kill their own defeated generals.

In other words, if someone from Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci was defeated, then they would have to cover Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci to escape back to the city.

There is no shame in such a secure arrangement. After all, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici are not just two fierce generals, they are also the leaders of the army, although the defeat of the generals before the battle formation will affect morale, but if the main general is captured or killed, it will not damage morale, but may lead to the disintegration of the whole army.

Because they wanted to fight under the city, Yan Gang, who issued a challenge, withdrew the soldiers hundreds of paces away according to the rules and lined up neatly, indicating that the army would not launch a surprise attack when the general was fighting. Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who accepted the fighting generals, urged their horses to come to the center of the flat field, and fifty black-armored iron horsemen lined up under the wall, looking quite majestic.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood side by side, looking at Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci fifty steps away, with a disdainful expression on their faces, he said to Tai Shi Ci: "Tai Shi Xiao'er, I didn't kill you with a knife yesterday, and I dare to come out today!" ”

Zhang Fei also said: "You escaped yesterday, and today Hugh blames the ruthlessness of the snake spear in someone's hand!" ”

Tai Shici was not angry by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's agitation, and said indifferently: "Which is higher and which is lower, and the subordinates will see the real chapter later, and they will not be considered a good man if they take advantage of their tongues in vain!" ”

Zhao Yun, who had never spoken, said, "I don't know which of the two of you will fight me?" Or are they on it together? ”

Zhao Yun said this domineering! directly angered Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei immediately clamped the horse's belly, tightened the reins of the horse with his left hand, and carried a spear in his right hand, rushing towards Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun saw Zhang Fei clamping the horse, his left hand slapped back on the buttocks of the black horse under his crotch, and the wild horse, which had been in a state of irritability, rushed out of the horse, and the speed seemed to be three points faster than Zhang Fei's yellow horse.

Zhang Fei waved the snake spear while beating the horse, and shouted angrily in his mouth: "Zhao family child, take your life!" ”

Zhao Yun grasped the reins of the horse with his left hand, sat firmly on the horse, picked up the spear in his right hand, calmly met Zhang Fei, and stabbed Zhang Fei in the chest without hesitation.

Zhang Fei swung his spear and hit the tip of the spear stabbed by Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun took advantage of the situation to sink the handle of the gun, avoiding Zhang Fei's spear tip.

When Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were fighting, Guan Yu urged the war horse, and while accelerating, he shouted at Tai Shi Ci: "Tai Shi Xiao'er, look at the knife!" ”

With a shout, Guan Yu's war horse had already left the place.

Tai Shici, who had already suffered a loss, figured out the number of ways Guan Yu liked to break out suddenly, this time he no longer paid attention to the shouting sound in Guan Yu's mouth, but stared at Guan Yu's left hand holding the reins of the horse, as soon as he saw Guan Yu's movements, he didn't answer at all, and immediately urged the war horse to face Guan Yu!

This time, Guan Yu failed to seize the opportunity.

Between breaths, Guan Yu and Tai Shi Ci collided head-on, only to see him draw an arc with the long knife dragged on the back of his body, and slash at Tai Shi Ci's head with the force of splitting Huashan.

Tai Shi Ci fought against Guan Yu with a twelve-point spirit today, his heart was full of vigilance and precaution, and without waiting for Guan Yu's ferocious knife to come, he swept a shot horizontally and stopped in front of the direction of Guan Yu's big sword.

Hearing only the sound of "dang chang", the extremely crisp sound of gold and iron colliding quickly spread to all sides, and Guan Yu's long blade just slashed the first half of the spear in Tai Shici's hand, and then burst out with a string of clearly visible sparks.

With this violent collision, Guan Yu's broadsword was broken out of a thumb-sized gap.

Guan Yu's knife didn't work, and immediately urged Ma to let Tai Shici go, but ran towards Zhao Yun, who was fighting with Zhang Fei.

Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci hurriedly followed behind Guan Yu, intending to stop Guan Yu and prevent the two brothers from besieging Zhao Yun.

At this moment, Guan Yu, who was dragging the knife in front, suddenly turned around sharply and used a move to drag the knife from front to back!

At this time, Tai Shi Ci was already very close to Guan Yu, and suddenly encountered Guan Yu's fierce attack, only to feel that his scalp was numb for a while, and he couldn't control the speed of the horse, so he bent his waist back and put his body flat on the horse's back, which was able to avoid Guan Yu's terrifying knife.

Zhao Yun, who was fighting with Zhang Fei over there, although it was difficult to get out, he looked at the six roads and saw Tai Shici in distress, so he reminded loudly: "Ziyi don't panic, as long as you let Guan Yu attack a few times in front, you can fight with him later!" ”

As soon as Zhao Yun said a word, he pointed out Guan Yu's weakness.

Those who are good at using long knives pay attention to the word "fierce", that is, at the beginning of the fight, the knife is heavy and fierce, and strive to solve the opponent in the shortest time. If it drags on for a long time, you will lose the sword momentum you have accumulated at the beginning, and it will gradually become difficult to launch a more aggressive attack because of the exhaustion of strength.

However, the generals who use spears pay attention to the word "skill", and they will not easily use up their strength, but use precise stabbing, picking, ringing, collapsing and other skills to kill and injure the enemy with the most effort.

In other words, the generals who use the long knife are fierce, while the generals who use the spear are ruthless and lasting.

Of course, such a comparison is for generals of the same level, such as between Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, if a third-rate gunner is changed to Guan Yu, even if he understands this truth, he will not be able to stop Guan Erye's sword.

After Tai Shi Ci avoided Guan Yu's drag knife slash, although he was shocked into a cold sweat, he was woken up by Zhao Yun's words, so he no longer had a hard fight with Guan Yu, but urged the horse to fight, and let the blade of the switch Yu every time.

Zhang Fei saw that Zhao Yun had ruined the second brother's good deeds, and his heart was even more annoyed, so the attack became more and more fierce.
