Section 1294 The Destruction of the Empire (3)
When the cuirass array of the Han army began to be activated, the Huns finally organized the first useful cavalry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
About 3,000 horsemen, in a long procession, stepped out of the tent.
Yi Zong held a clairvoyant mirror and looked at this Hun cavalry.
Stirrups, saddles, and bronze sabers were standard for this cavalry.
At the time of the Battle of Gaoque, Yizong already knew that the Huns were using the standard equipment of the bronze cottage Han army.
Sometimes, I really want to send someone to tell the Huns that you are doing this in vain!
Because, bronze and steel are two completely different materials.
Moreover, the bronze is too brittle!
Yi Zong once conducted an experiment himself, using two groups of soldiers armed with bronze sabers and iron swords to slash each other.
As a result, even the sabers forged with Qin's bronze techniques had no advantage in the face of the thick iron long knives made by the Han folk workshops.
If it is replaced with a military saber produced by Shaofu, then all bronze weapons will be overshadowed.
There are hardly any bronze knives that can stop the full slash of the steel knife!
During the Battle of Mayi, the bronze collars and meteor hammers of the Huns were easily cut off by the sabers of the Han army.
The blood of the Zhelan people flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the field.
Now, these Huns still want to try?
Isn't this looking for death?
But......
The rancid and filthy stains on the weapons of this Hun cavalry made Yizong quite worried.
These things are much more deadly than the Huns themselves!
You know, it's summer, the season of high temperatures and scorching heat.
Yi Zong was sure that if he was accidentally injured by these weapons, then, once infected, the Han soldier would almost be hopeless.
This is also the common sense that everyone knows after the popularization of the military medical system.
Therefore, Yizong instructed the left and right: "Inform the breastplate, be careful of injury!" ”
The cuirassiers of the Han family, in the present, every qualified cuirass is precious.
Because even in the world of the Han family, the source of cuirass soldiers that can be used is scarce.
Nationwide, only 100,000 young men over the age of twenty-three, who could ride horses, and who had military training, could be selected as cuirassiers.
You must know that the current registered population of the Han family is as many as seven or eight million households, close to 60 million people!
One in a hundred, it is a portrayal of the cuirass troops!
Not only is the supply of soldiers scarce, but the training is even more demanding.
The cuirassiers of the Han family were all selected from the Liang family.
Almost everyone has some cultural knowledge and arithmetic knowledge, and at the same time, after more than a year of training in the army, can skillfully ride a war horse, and control a variety of weapons, can start to wear a cuirass.
And from putting on the cuirass for the first time to forming combat capability, it takes at least half a year of hard training.
And in this process, nutrition and rest, as well as proper medicinal wine baths, are necessary.
If you count the cuirassiers' equipment and war horses, it is no exaggeration to say that every cuirassier was piled up with gold and five baht coins.
Yizong didn't want these precious troops to be exchanged by the Huns in this ridiculous way in this place.
They are still young, and their future is limitless!
………………………………
"The general of the chariot cavalry has an order: the whole army in the cuirass should be careful of being injured, and remember not to be injured by the Huns, in order to prevent infection!" The herald passed orders from the Chinese army to the cuirassier officers of the Flying Fox Army.
"General Che Cai is a little overthinking......" Wang Hui, the left lieutenant of the Flying Fox Army's cuirass, smiled and tied the leather armor on his shoulders and arms tightly.
These are no ordinary pieces of leather armor.
It's leather armor made from the roughest and toughest part of the whale's body!
It's almost as hard as steel!
If it weren't for the fact that this kind of leather armor was too precious and scarce, and could only be supplied to the cuirassier troops, Wang Hui even felt that 10,000 light cavalry equipped with this kind of leather armor could single-handedly challenge the entire Hun cavalry!
However, since it was an order from the top, Wang Hui and another cuirass lieutenant, Zhang Zheng, still replied one after another: "No! By order! ”
Then, they turned around and told their subordinates: "The general has an order, all departments are careful of injuries to avoid infection!" ”
"No!" The cuirassiers replied in a low voice.
However, most of the people were still in a state of pre-war tension.
There is no way, it's just the first actual combat of the Flying Fox Army's cuirass array.
Moreover, most of the soldiers, before today, had never been on the battlefield.
Nervousness is inevitable.
Under the masks, everyone held their breath and stared, their hands clutching their spears, covered with sweat.
Fortunately, the cavalry rifles of the cuirassiers were redesigned, and in order to avoid slippery hands and facilitate use, in addition to improving the grip slot again, the cavalry was equipped with a pair of gloves specially designed for gripping the cavalry spear.
…………………………………………
At this moment, Yishi looked at the three thousand horsemen he had finally organized and slowly drove out of the camp.
He was also nervous and sweating profusely.
These three thousand horsemen were all his men and horses.
It is the elite of his headquarters and one of his dependences.
If the loss is here, then there is nothing.
However, he had to send them out.
"Great King ......" A servant climbed in front of Yishi and reported: "It has been ascertained that the commander of the Han army will be a relative of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the general of the Han Dynasty's chariot and cavalry, and Dongcheng Hou Yizong!" ”
"Righteousness ????" Yishi's eyes widened, and his hands were shaking.
This is also a name that makes the Huns tremble and fear.
Since the Battle of Mayi, this Han general and his army have become a nightmare for the entire Xiongnu.
The Huns hated and feared it, and their feelings were very complicated.
Now, this killing god is actually here?
When did he come?
How could he be here?
Did the people of the Han Dynasty grow wings?
Almost at the same time, a nobleman came running on horseback and reported: "The king, the Subu clan of the Subu clan has just led his headquarters to pull out the camp and run towards Nuqi!" ”
"What?" Yishi stumbled and almost didn't fall to the ground!
In this march, the military ministers strengthened and gave him 30,000 horsemen.
One of them is the Ten Thousand Riders of the Subu Clan!
But now, Su Bu ran away without even saying hello?
What does he want to do?
Didn't he know that this would cause an avalanche?
"Send someone to chase ...... immediately," Yishi roared, without the 10,000 horsemen of the Subu clan, his strength dropped by a quarter in an instant.
This is not the most deadly, the most fatal problem is that if the Subu people run, the Lan clan will probably run too.
As soon as the Lan clan and the Xu Bu clan ran, he was left with the headquarters of the Liwang of the Right Valley, the Lou Fu Nu, and the Hun Evil Nu, with a total of more than 10,000 people and less than 20,000 troops, what to use to fight the Han Dynasty? (To be continued.) )
