After discovering the abnormalities of Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao, Lu Bu decided to talk to the two of them separately.

After all, Zhang Xiu was the junior who Lu Bu had instructed when he was in the Xiliang Army, and was once thought to be the "Lu Hou Party" by the outside world, and Zhang Liao was not to mention that Lu Bu grew up as a good brother.

Lu Bu knew that he was not a good debater, but if he was to these two people, he felt that he could persuade them.

first found Zhang Liao, still in his own house.

Counting it, because Lu Bu sits in the center all the year round, and Zhang Liao has been leading troops for a long time, the two have rarely drunk alone in the mansion in the past two years.

As soon as Zhang Liao entered the small pavilion, he saw the two pairs of dishes and chopsticks behind the table, and knew that Lu Bu had found himself alone, and after he didn't even call Gao Shun, he vaguely knew what the other party was going to say!

Lu Bu didn't come up to talk in detail, but began to reminisce about the past with Zhang Liao while drinking, starting from when Li Su was still there, they wandered together and merged states......

Even after the wine, there were some reasons why Lu Lingqi had recently married and had children, which made Lu Bu think a lot, and even took the initiative to talk about Mrs. Yan.

In the end, Zhang Liao couldn't help but say: "It's me who is in love...... If I can be a cavalry general and open a peaceful and prosperous world, I will be a cavalry general, and if I can be a musket general, I will be a musket general! ”

"Hahaha, Wen Yuan is not just a look, he is simply a bull's horn! Who says cavalry won't be useful in the future? What are the grain sent to Liaodong by boats and the horses pulled back from Liaodong for? Lu Bu smiled when he heard this.

"But...... As soon as the real qi bullet crossbow and artillery come out, even if it is a plate cavalry, I am afraid that the effect will not be very good! When Zhang Liao heard this, he said a little unwillingly.

The plate cavalry satisfied all the fantasies of the cavalry generals, including Zhang Liao, for the heavy armored cavalry.

The "perfect" defense is lighter than the weight of chain mail, and it is even backed by the industry of the Chu State...... It's not too expensive!

Originally, Zhang Liao thought that the prosperous era of heavy cavalry cavalry was coming, and he could lead the Chujia cavalry to crisscross the battlefield and capture the flag......

It's a pity that this "prosperous era" is too short-lived!

Even if it is plate armor, when facing artillery, it cannot protect the safety of cavalry at all, at most...... More of a nerf to the velocity of the cannonball when the meat pad is made?

In the face of the real qi crossbow, Zhang Liao also tried, when the angle is just right and the position is just right, he can "unload" the bullet of the real qi crossbow to the side, although it is not easy to be shot, but there will be no too serious injuries.

However, if the angle is not good, or the distance is too close, and the shot is weak, the plate armor will not be able to block the bullets of the crossbow!

In order to completely block the bullets, the plate armor needs to be strengthened to the extent that it is difficult for the horse to carry and the soldier to move.

The running group in the lecture hall...... No, it's the same in battlefield simulations.

If you hit the crossbowman head-on, it is only equivalent to reducing the opponent's accuracy to 40% of the original rate, and you can ignore the bullet's ejection damage - it is better to switch to light cavalry, at least you can get closer to the opponent faster!

The enhancement brought by Chu Jia to the cavalry was directly obliterated by the bullets and crossbows, and it returned to the original point......

"The plate cavalry is naturally not good, and the heavy cavalry has many defects, otherwise how could the hard disk be so easy to sell to that Cao Apu." Lu Bu said disdainfully.

Indeed, everyone can see this!

Originally, there were still generals who wanted to react with the king, about the issue that plate armor should not be exported first, but after seeing the bullets and artillery, no one mentioned it.

Plate armor?

Replace it with iron ore, copper ore, tin ore...... Isn't it fragrant to make artillery and crossbows? What plate armor do you want!

In the end, no one mentioned this stubble......

"That's ......" Zhang Liao wanted to say and stopped.

"Heavy cavalry is not suitable for future battlefields, and like the Qiang people and the Xiongnu, pure cavalry armies have no prospects for development, but don't forget the true meaning of cavalry for the Chu State!" Lu Bu reminded.

That's right, for the current state of Chu, cavalry is not used for fighting alone at all.

After all, how many war horses are there in the entire Chu State? Most of them were shipped back from Liaodong!

The number of war horses determines that the cavalry is more important to respond to other armies, just like the Song Dynasty in history......

Don't look at the Song Dynasty's infantry, which has long been suppressed by the northern regime in terms of cavalry, but the front-line army of the Song Dynasty will be mixed with at least a few hundred cavalry - not for group charges, but for reconnaissance and roundabout response.

When Zhang Liao heard this, there was a look of thought in his eyes, in fact, he was also fascinated by the plate cavalry before, and his mind was full of cavalry pushing, so there was a gap in his heart.

Of course, on the other hand, it was also because this was Zhang Liao - he was uncomfortable if he was not allowed to charge with cavalry!

In Zhang Liao's eyes, the cavalry should go straight into the enemy formation and capture and kill the enemy chieftain!

Not to mention the drastic changes caused by the white chart jump technology, in history, it is only the change from front-loading guns to rear-loading guns, which is unacceptable to many officers.

Just like in history, when Prussia had just developed a mature rear-loading gun technology, some Swiss officers disparagingly called it an "enema gun", and even Prussia itself had an officer who specially demanded that the pre-loading gun be fired at his funeral, otherwise he would "not be blinded"......

The same goes for Zhang Liao.

It's not that he's worried that his abilities are outdated, nor is he holding on to them, but he can't accept it for a while, and the cavalry he is proud of is actually "outdated......

Of course, in fact, as Lu Bu said, Zhang Liao just fell too far for a while, and he drilled the tip of the horns.

In fact, it is still far from the obsolescence of the cavalry!

At the beginning of World War I, Germany still had cavalry, and during World War II, Li Yunlong was reluctant to hand over the captured horses (fog......

As for the battlefields of the level of thermal weapons in the 18th century?

His Majesty, the emperor of the country, is not the best tactic is the artillery bombardment, cavalry charge, and infantry three-plate axe.

Cavalry can still play a vital role in the late 18th century and early 19th century, and it is a very "expensive" type of troops, and there will not be too many powers that have already been firearmed.

Outdated tactics were only the use of cavalry as the main force, or even as a tank......

At the peak of the country's development, it had a population of 28 million, an army of 6 or 700,000, nearly three artillery pieces per 1,000 people, more than 20 light and heavy cavalry regiments, and more than 20 mobile cavalry regiments - the so-called dragoons.

The dragoons of the country were not fierce horses, but semi-cavalry that "used horses as mobile forces" to achieve high mobility with horses, but they were still infantry on the battlefield.

Only the dragoons are equipped with rifles, and the other real cavalry are mainly armed with swords and spears, and the firearms are only used with handcuffs......

In the next plan of the Chu State, the war horse cavalry will also be independent as a cavalry division like artillery, and then take the company as a unit, attached to each infantry corps, and then set up several reinforced cavalry regiments as the main cavalry to undertake special tasks.

Lu Bu also deliberately recommended Zhang Liao as the commander of the cavalry division, so now remind him to go back and think more about the tactical development of the cavalry in the new environment!

Then Lu Bu found Zhang Xiu again - Zhang Xiu was flattered that Lu Bu invited him to meet in Qu Ahou's mansion, that is, his private house, and under the guidance of the servant, when he just entered the martial arts arena in the backyard, he saw Lu Bu looking over, and Zhang Xiu thought he was going to instruct himself......

"Gu Jia." Lu Bu had just finished speaking, and Zhang Xiu had already been armored.

Afterwards......

Lu Bu was merciless, and kicked Zhang Xiu into the rockery on the side, and it was hard to pull it out!

And without waiting for Zhang Xiu to struggle out, Lu Bu still pursued unrelentingly, pulled it out, and rounded the back of his head and hit the ground!

It doesn't look like there's any mercy at all, except for the fact that he didn't really cut it.

As a first-class military general appraiser, Zhang Xiu's strength is at the bottom of the first-class, even if Lu Bu does not enter the Shenwei mode, it is enough to crush him.

Half an hour later, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, who had a blue nose and swollen face, finished explaining the reason......
