These cavalry archers are also very fast. Soon after Chen Zheng and the others arrived, they also came to Kangzhuang County. This was also the first time Chen Zheng saw systematic regular cavalry.

Don't look at Chen Zheng and they ride horses, but there is no way to compare them with cavalry.

They can only use horses as a substitute for transportation, and people also use horses as a tool of battle.

And these archers don't look ordinary from the outside.

First of all, they don't dress the same way all over their bodies. It is neither the animal skin worn by the steppe people, nor the standard leather armor of the Northern Yan.

Instead, he was dressed in fish-scale chain mail, which encased the whole person in the armor, but leaked out of the nose, eyes, and mouth.

Not only that, but they also simply covered the horses with a relatively light layer of silk armor.

Silk armor is a special kind of armor just like paper armor, but it is not necessarily armor in the strict sense.

But all have some defensive capabilities.

And from the literal meaning, it can be seen that silk armor and paper armor are actually made of silk and simple coarse paper.

The effect of the two is similar, but the cost is much different.

The main role of paper armor and silk armor is to resist penetrating damage.

That is, the meaning of the end of the strong crossbow in the idiom.

Silk armor and paper armor can slow down the impact of the arrow rain to a certain extent, so that the arrow rain will not directly penetrate the human body, but through a certain buffer, reduce the force of penetration, so that the wound is reduced or even no injury.

This wisdom was discovered by the people.

Specifically, it happened to be the era of the competition for hegemony in the year of the Great Weekend.

At that time, it had taken 200 years to achieve the current situation of several parties.

In the past two hundred years, although there has been a lot of military progress, it has had a very negative impact on the economy and culture.

Some martial arts classics and cultural classics are also unique, I don't know how many there are, because the original sound of the war is incomplete.

There are also some treasured calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings, as well as various treasured collections, which are also scattered all over the world.

And in brokerage, in addition to the influence of a large number of currencies, price fluctuations, price instability. The main thing is the lack of resources.

To fight a war is to fight resources, to fight logistics.

This statement is an unchanging truth in all worlds.

No logistics, no resources. No matter how powerful a general is, no matter how brave a soldier is, he can't win.

In troubled times, the army is the confidence in the heart of every prince and the hole card in his hand. Only with the army can we ensure our own security and satisfy one's desire for power.

And if an army wants to ensure combat effectiveness, in addition to the army's fighting qualities and loyalty, the most important thing is equipment.

A variety of main combat equipment, as well as a variety of auxiliary equipment.

Combat equipment such as shields, weapons, bows and crossbows. This all has a direct impact on how a soldier attacks the enemy.

And auxiliary equipment, such as healing pills, as well as war horses, stirrups, and the like, although they cannot be used to directly injure people, can be used to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army.

When the two armies are fighting, in addition to the soldier's bravery and the commander's command ability, equipment is also a very important factor.

In the same hand-to-hand combat, a well-equipped person can knock down the enemy's armor in one fell swoop. And it is very likely that the people who are equipped will pass by in a wave, but the people will defend very well, and there is no result that they are cut by someone with a knife. I can't bear such an aggrieved thing.

Therefore, in order to be able to quickly form combat effectiveness of their troops, the major forces are crazy to forge weapons.

As a result, the resources of the Yuanwu Continent began to be scarce. But you can't let people go to war shirtless.

This triggers the wisdom of the masses of the people.

The consumption of bows and arrows can be said to be the largest when fighting.

If a faction's ranged attack is huge, then it has a good chance of attacking his own ranged units.

At this time, I learned a little bit of experience in the people.

There aren't enough ores to craft armor that can protect you.

Even weapons can't be produced properly, let alone the armor that is shown, etc.

That's why paper armor is born out of this thing.

It doesn't need to be a good paper, even if it's the worst.

Paper armor only needs to be made into a simple full-body style to defend against bows and arrows, and the effect is very good, reducing the lethality of a lot of bows and crossbows.

And silk armor is a similar thing, but from the paper armor side, the materials used are also more expensive than ordinary paper armor.

Of course, you get what you pay for. Some of these silk armors are no worse than leather armor and iron armor or the like.

Now these archers wear this kind of silk armor on their horses, in order to reduce the damage of bows and arrows to horses.

Cavalry archers need mobility if they want to do a good outcome.

The regular army of Northern Yan could reach one man and two horses.

This refers to the regular soldiers of the Northern Yan.

For the Upper Ninth Army of Northern Yan, especially for the Iron Cavalry of the Tie Family, it is a very normal operation for one person and three horses, which is the welfare of the elite army.

And the city guards were not so lucky. What Chen Zheng saw in front of him was just a horse.

Therefore, the people of the city guard attached great importance to this horse.

They didn't have me to exchange the horses in the second batch.

Aside from the horses, the only equipment on these cavalry archers was the big black bow and the sharp warrior sword.

Chen Zheng is also a person who has practiced 100 steps through Yang, and has a certain degree of understanding of bows and arrows, and his eyesight is also a little bit. The level of these archers in front of them is not low, almost all of them are in the Luck Realm, and the lowest one is still in the early stage of the Luck Realm. The longbow in the hands of these archers was about 23 stones.
