Chapter 503: Heavy Cavalry
The hooves of the iron-hoofed horse are very hard, as if they were iron, but this is just the beautification of people, and the hooves of the iron-hoofed horse are still very different from the real iron. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The battlefield was full of broken knives, swords, guns, and some iron tools similar to iron dysentery, all of which could hurt the hooves of the Iron Hoof Horse, so the Iron Hoof Horse suffered great losses in every battle.
In this way, in daily life, the iron hoof horse will not be injured at all, only in rare wars, the iron hoof horse will have a lot of damage, so even if the cavalry on the Shenzhou Continent has existed for tens of thousands of years, or even longer, the horseshoe has not been invented until now.
Invention comes from life, and it can be seen from this!
"Young Master, you are so smart!" said Lin Hu with admiration in his eyes.
In fact, it's not just Lin Hu, everyone else is now looking at Lin Ze with admiration.
Indeed, as long as the principle of the horseshoe is explained, everyone understands it, but it seems that such a simple solution has not been discovered for tens of thousands of years.
People wear shoes to prevent foot injuries, so horses can of course wear shoes to prevent injuries.
Such a simple solution has made the army on the Shenzhou Continent distressed for tens of thousands of years, or even longer, doesn't this explain Lin Ze's wisdom!
When it was tens of thousands of years, there must have been many people with extremely high wisdom in it, but they still couldn't come up with such a simple solution, but now that Lin Ze has come up with it, Lin Hu will of course admire Lin Ze in their hearts.
"Hehe........" Lin Ze laughed a few times a little unnaturally.
The horseshoe was not thought up by Lin Ze, as long as it was an earthling, everyone knew the horseshoe, and Lin Ze just stood on the shoulders of giants.
Of course, now if Lin Ze wants to say that the idea of the horseshoe was not something he came up with, Lin Ze will not say it.
It's not that Lin Ze covets the reputation of 'inventing' the horseshoe, but that he really needs the reputation of this 'inventor' now, and with the reputation of this 'inventor', Lin Ze can continue to 'invent' some advanced and advantageous things on the earth.
If Lin Ze does not have the reputation of this 'inventor', he will continue to come up with some advanced inventions in the future, and it will take a lot of time to persuade others and listen to his actions.
"Tie Ying, now that you have a horseshoe, then you have to adapt to the role of the horseshoe on the battlefield as soon as possible, as for how to maximize the role of the horseshoes, you need to explore it yourself. Cavalry has always been the most lethal and impactful combat unit on the battlefield, especially in our future battles against barbarians. Most of the barbarians are cavalry, and the war horses under them are generally more powerful black flame horses, much stronger than our current iron horses, and now with the horseshoe, this gap has been greatly narrowed, as long as it is used properly, it is definitely a sharp weapon on the battlefield, Tie Ying, you need to pay attention to it!" Lin Ze emphasized.
"Yes, my lord, I understand!" Tie Ying said with a serious face.
"Well, that's good!" Seeing Tie Ying's serious face, Lin Ze felt a lot more relieved in his heart.
At this time, while Lin Ze was talking, more than a dozen iron-hoofed horses that had been loaded with horseshoes had been brought over.
"Da da da........!" The sound of the dozen iron-hoofed horses stepping on the ground was more crisp and full of power.
These dozen or so iron-hoofed horses also seem to know that they are much more powerful now, so they are full of high-spirited momentum between Gu Pan.
"Okay, very good!" Looking at the confident appearance of these dozen iron-hoofed horses, Lin Ze said two good words one after another.
"Young master, now that the craftsman battalion has delivered thousands of horse hooves, we are arranging for people to install horseshoes on all the iron hoofed horses, and it won't be long before all our cavalry units can be installed with horseshoes, and at that time, our combat effectiveness will rise by at least three layers. Duan Ming reported above.
"Well, very good, Duan Ming, hurry up and install the horseshoe on our cavalry troops. Lin Ze admonished.
"Yes, young master!"
After inspecting the situation of the horseshoe, Lin Ze took the opportunity to the camp where the cavalry unit was located.
Looking at the recruits in the cavalry training camp in front of him, his face was covered with sweat, Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, Tie Ying, the cavalry unit is well trained!"
"It's all because of the good training plan you formulated, my lord!" Tie Ying directly slapped Lin Ze on the back.
Tie Ying didn't do such a sycophant thing before, at that time, he was completely a hot-blooded young man, and he didn't look down on such a sycophant thing at all, but after going through so many things, Tie Ying finally became truly mature, so he now comes casually for some sycophants.
"Hehe, Tie Ying, you're .......!" Lin Ze smiled and pointed at Tie Ying.
"Tie Ying, the scale of the cavalry unit will be expanded in the future, and each cavalry unit will no longer have a baggage team, which is too cumbersome and too scattered, in the future, we will set up a unified baggage team, and in the future, each cavalry unit will only take care of the battle, regardless of logistics." Lin Ze said.
When Tie Ying heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, as a general, everyone wants the troops under his command to become stronger and stronger, more and more.
"My lord, you said that our cavalry force will continue to expand?" Tie Ying had a look of expectation on his face.
"Well, yes!" Lin Ze said with a smile: "The scale of our cavalry troops is still a little smaller, and if the cavalry units want to exert strong combat effectiveness, they must have a certain scale, so I will continue to expand the cavalry units in the future, and each cavalry unit will be equipped with archers, knives, and lancers, so that the cavalry will be rich and diverse.
Tie Ying and Duan Ming were overjoyed in their hearts after listening to Lin Ze's plan for the cavalry.
"The construction of cavalry units is not only these, I am also preparing to build heavy cavalry!"
Before the excitement in Tie Ying's heart disappeared, Lin Ze threw out an even bigger surprise here, he wanted to establish a heavy cavalry!
"My lord, the cost of the heavy cavalry is not ordinary!" Tie Ying said cautiously.
The powerful power of the heavy cavalry, Tie Ying knew very well in his heart, to be honest, Tie Ying very much wanted to establish a heavy cavalry unit, but the establishment of a heavy cavalry unit was not so easy.
For every heavy cavalry, the cost is astronomical.
Not to mention the war horses required by the heavy cavalry, the heavy armor and heavy spears on his body alone are not a small amount.
Every heavy cavalry, if you want to build up, is impossible without fifty or sixty gold coins.
Now Lin Ze is still recruiting homeless people, in order to settle these homeless people, Lin Ze now spends about tens of thousands of gold coins every day, such a big expense, it is really a big burden, Tie Ying really doesn't want to increase the burden on Lin Ze anymore.
Why Tie Ying has been following Lin Ze in the center, Lin Ze spends tens of thousands of gold coins every day to resettle the displaced people, which is one of the main reasons.
"Hehe, Tie Ying, don't worry, money is not a problem, you forgot the 4.5 million gold coins I got in White Jade City before. Lin Ze said with a smile.
Money is not an issue at all for him.
If you want money, Lin Ze has it.
Not to mention the countless gold and silver treasures in the dozen or so storage warehouses in the Plane Seed World, the elixir in the Elixir Garden alone can be sold for countless money.
"Hey, yes, the adults got 4.5 million gold coins in the White Jade City before, plus the fire armor cattle that the adults got now, hehe, I'm really worried!" Tie Ying laughed at himself in the bottom of his heart.
"My lord, I will definitely build a powerful heavy cavalry for my lord!" Tie Ying said with confidence.
Now that the problem of money has been solved, Tie Ying's mind is all about building a heavy cavalry, and being able to build a powerful heavy cavalry with his own hands is definitely the greatest glory of a soldier, so Tie Ying's heart is full of energy!
"Okay, I'm waiting for that day to come!" Lin Ze said with satisfaction.
At this time, Wang Huahui on the side suddenly said: "My lord, but in the military system of the Chu State, the subordinates of the general army only have 20,000 subordinates? We now have more than 20,000 in the new barracks here, and now we can expand the troops and establish heavy cavalry, will this cause dissatisfaction in the imperial court?"
"Hahaha.......!" Lin Ze laughed, and then said: "Wang Baihu, don't worry, what's wrong with this, now the scale of the rebellion in Qingzhou is getting bigger and bigger, and even troops have entered the sandbank, so there will be no problem for us to expand our troops." What's more, don't forget, we have a large number of homeless people here, so it is completely legal to establish an escort team, but the combat effectiveness and equipment of our escort team are too good, Wang Baihu, do you say this is the truth?!haha........
"Your Excellency is wise!"
..........................
After inspecting the barracks, Lin Ze turned around and came to the craftsman camp on the side to inspect.
The location of the craftsman camp is not far from the barracks, after all, there are a large number of ordnance in the artisan camp, and therefore, the artisan camp is built directly near the barracks, so that if there is any danger in the artisan camp, the army can arrive in the fastest time.
The artisan camp was only four or five miles away from the barracks, and for the sake of secrecy and security, the artisan camp was built in a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and with only one exit.
