Chapter 350: The Iron Rider

Yang check! Sheep inspection!

When Yang Xian got the news, he was surprised. But what is even more surprising is that the upper rhino iron horse actually appeared so early.

Since ancient times, there have been the world's elite riders out of the coolness, and the crossbow has more words of the string city.

Because of the cool place, the people are fierce, not only producing good horses, but also rich in knights.

If there are very few of the various cultivation methods in the army, then the practice of riding is the kind of practice that is piled up there and no one practices it.

It's not because it's not powerful, and it's not because the sergeants in the other states of the Great Zhou are not as good as the two states, but because it's useless to practice.

A sergeant who practices archery can only be regarded as a first glimpse of the way even if he has practiced in-depth for five years on his own. If you don't continue, then you can shoot at a distance of two or three hundred paces at most.

The distance of two or three hundred steps may be a distance to be proud of for the cold weapon war in the previous world in Yang Xian's cognition. But in this world, it is completely inadequate.

Although the practice is to the end, the archers are indeed very powerful. A monster like Tong Gu is idle to shoot two or three hundred feet.

But for ordinary sergeants, time is the most precious. It's like in troubled times, how many wars will a sergeant experience in five years?

If you have this time to learn archery, it is better to spend your time in other directions. The infantry is the most valuable and powerful type of troops in the world, and the cost is also low, and it breaks through all the bells and whistles.

And compared to the archers, the situation of the cavalry was even more embarrassing. If you want to become a good cavalryman, you not only need to practice extremely difficult methods, but also need to find good war horses.

The tragedy is that good war horses are not available everywhere, and the most stable source of war horses is in the two cool states.

It was a sergeant who found a war horse, cultivated his riding skills, and became a knight.

However, what is even more tragic is that the army needs to cooperate. That is, it is useless to have just one person.

Since ancient times, if you want to organize an elite cavalry army, most of them need a strong court and abundant financial resources. And those who can spontaneously form a cavalry army of a certain scale are only in the two states of Youliang.

The people in the cool place are fierce and the environment is special. There are still nearly 3 million people in Youzhou, but there are only 100,000 people in Liangzhou, but there are 100,000 troops, of which about 24,000 cavalry troops, such an extremely high-pressure military-civilian ratio of 1 to 10, but it did not make the Liangzhou army collapse. In other states, such a situation would be unthinkable.

The formation process of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Youning Iron Cavalry is very similar, both of them are a combat force formed under the strong integration of a great master in the army.

However, although the process of integration is the same, the result of integration is different. Jingyun has been unified, and the 30,000 Youning Iron Riders are the only ones who look forward.

Liangzhou is different, the special environment has created a special combat force, and it has also formed a system without cohesion and enterprising force.

It's just that Zhu Zi has more than 10,000 Xiliang iron horsemen under his command, counting the 3,000 iron horses abducted by Yang Xian, Qin Yuan has 8,000 under his command. And Qin Yuan's loyalty to Zhu Zi is precisely because of the absolute superiority of the forces under the command of these two people, Liangzhou can be stable.

Zhu Zi has always wanted to change the military head system in Liangzhou, but even with his respect as a great master, he can't go against the hearts of the people in this world and the objective economic foundation.

In the original history of the game, the Youning Iron Cavalry surrendered to the Liang army early, but because Huan Wu was not worried about Jingyun and his subordinates, the combat power of the Youning Iron Cavalry plummeted in the later period, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was destroyed by the Liang army.

In particular, in the battle between the Liang army and the Liangzhou army at Bianque Mountain, Qin Feng led 800 hussars to charge straight to Emperor Liang's main formation, almost taking Emperor Liang's life.

After that, although Qin Feng was defeated, he was not defeated by the Liang army, but defeated by the military head system of Liangzhou.

After that, Emperor Liang may have had a psychological shadow, or he may have been shocked by Qin Feng's god-like figure, and vowed to build a male horse that is not weaker than Xiliang Tieqi.

As a result, the Upper Rhino Iron Rider came into being. It turned out that Yang Xian only knew that building this cavalry had an inseparable relationship with the Yang clan, but he never expected that this Yang clan would have such a deep relationship with him.

Youning Iron Riding is scattered like the wind, and walking like a ghost. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry charged into battle, extremely fierce.

The Liang army spent the financial and material resources of the thirteen states, which took five years, and finally formed an army of 50,000. The rhino iron rider picks the length of the prairie wolf, and wants to have the advantages of both worlds.

Of course, having the advantages of both worlds is a bit nondescript. In the end, after several years of running-in, the Shangxi Iron Cavalry gave up the speed and momentum of the Youning Iron Cavalry, and did not have the fierceness and sharpness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but it was unique, and its endurance and combat power were raised to a very high level.

"Uncle and grandfather, you really give me a problem!"

If this cavalry is trained, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for Yang Xian to go north out of the Central Plains. Yang Xian didn't believe that this cavalry army had the same combat strength and number as in the original history. But even if you only train one or twenty thousand riders in the end, it will be quite a big trouble.

In the Qianli Plain of Guanzhong, the Liang army and the Shu army are mainly infantry, not counting the logistical pressure, they can still be evenly divided, and even the Shu army is superior. If there is such a powerful cavalry, then the advantage of the Shu army will be lost.

What worries Yang Xian even more is the attitude of Zhu Zi and Jingyun. In the past, if the Liang army wanted to annex the world, it would be a matter of life and death for them, but now that the Liang army wants to recuperate and manage the Central Plains, there will be no such sharp contradictions between them.

Emperor Qi died, the world was in turmoil, and the Central Plains was the most seriously injured by the war. The originally prosperous region, in the years when the princes were at their most intense, was almost unpopulated. Huan Wu unified the Central Plains, but the overall national policy also served the conquest, and ten years of tranquility could not completely restore the strength of the Central Plains.

Zhu Zi and Jing Yun also knew that if Liang Guo was allowed to restore its national strength, even if it was only to the extent before the collapse of Emperor Qi, it would undoubtedly be a chronic suicide for them.

However, Huan Wu's conditions were too tempting. The Liangzhou army opened up the wasteland, and a large number of materials obtained needed to be exported and digested, and funds were obtained, and the materials from the Liang State were also needed to supplement the military and people's livelihood.

The Yan army was trapped in the bitter cold land of western Liaoning, and it was impossible to seize the rich western region of Youzhou to the west, so the goal was to the north and enter the grassland. If he reconciled with the Liang army, reopened the city, and obtained a large amount of supplies, then the Yan army would be able to immediately implement the northern expansion plan.

Huan Wu wanted horse breeds, and neither Zhu Zi nor Jing Yun would take them too seriously, because the Liang army's plans to establish a cavalry army in the past had failed.

An army led by a Grand Master and an army without a Grand Master are definitely two different concepts. is like an eagle army, with a great master like Tong Gu who is good at archery, he has trained 6,000 elite archers, and he can even block 100,000 troops.

"Sure enough, are allies unreliable?"

Yang Xian looked up at the sky, a gust of wind blew, and his eyes were covered with a layer of water.

It's just my uncle and grandfather! Will I watch you put the knife on my neck?
