332 Steampunk VS Ironclad Cavalry

Although this Qin Shaoyu is not very old, he is a veteran for many years.

Since the age of twelve or thirteen, he has followed the adults in his family to fight on the battlefield.

Because Liangchi Prefecture is located in the westernmost part of the Sixteen Cities of Yanyun, the jurisdiction is bordered by the trade route leading to the Western Regions.

Therefore, he often has to face the sand bandits in the wasteland, and at the same time, he has to line up with the grass bandits in the Handa grassland to the north from time to time.

Therefore, it is also a place where there are four wars that have to be fought all year round, and it is precisely because of such an environment that he has been trained as a reckless young master.

Don't look at his impulsive personality, but when he arrives on the battlefield, he is extraordinarily calm.

This attack seems reckless, but in fact, it is also to grab the jackpot.

After all, the coalition army of the Sixteen Cities has reached at least half, and if this is the Northern Expedition in the spring, who will have the final say at that time, but it has not yet been decided.

In his opinion, what Yang Yinuan is is just a problem of scabies.

If they were 100,000 people, if they faced that guy, they could drown him with a mouthful of spit.

It's easy to kill the thief, but the question is how to calculate the distribution of the spoils after the war?

If he wins this time, then their family will naturally be able to speak louder.

This is his wishful thinking.

And at this moment, when he arrived at the city of Huangcaotan, he was a little hesitant.

Because this dock fort is really too weird, but when you get here, you can't just withdraw like that, right?

He turned his head to look to his right, then made a gesture.

A centurion over there, when he saw the young master's order, he immediately only turned over his hundred-man team and got on his horse.

Everyone put their arms around the neck of the war horse, and then quietly touched the extension of the boulevard to the city wall.

Seeing that there were still a hundred meters away from the city gate, the centurion waved his hand violently.

All the knights sat up straight, slashed the reins of their horses, and spurs at their feet slammed their horses in the abdomen.

The horse was in pain, let out a neighing sound, and then galloped wildly.

More than 100 war horses rushed towards the gate of Huangcaotan like arrows from the string......

Then he rushed straight in......

Seeing this picture, Qin Shaoyu was stunned, it's as simple as that?

Is there really no ambush?

"Young master, let's rush too!"

Just when he couldn't figure out what was going on, the left and right relatives around him were already a little overwhelmed.

Qin Shaoyu knew that he was already ready to fly at this time.

He rolled over his horse and waved his right hand.

The more than 3,000 lancers who were squatting beside him immediately turned over and rushed out of the grove with the neighing of their horses.

It took a few minutes for the group to come out of the woods slowly at first, and then to start preparing to speed up.

At this time, they were only less than 500 meters away from the walled gate.

But at this moment, suddenly from the woods on their right, there was also a sound of laughter.

Qin Shaoyu immediately sensed that something was wrong, and he raised his hand sharply and motioned for the team to stop.

But the cavalry that had already started to charge at this time, and it was so easy to brake?

And at this moment, Qin Shaoyu was already frightened.

Because he had seen what was coming out of the woods.

It was actually a ballista that lay flat, and that thing he had seen the Zhao family in Qingshan City play with before.

A ballista was laid flat with a large gas tank attached to it, and behind the gas tank were steam engines.

Only this time, these steam engines are not on horse-drawn carriages.

Instead, they were loaded on several huge wagons!

It was unlike any carriage he had ever seen before, for it was bigger than any he had ever seen.

The common horse-drawn carriages in this world are basically two-wheeled carriages, and they all use wooden wheels.

But the carriage had four wheels, and the wheels were not wooden, but iron and steel rings with a layer of black unidentified objects on the outside.

Three tall horses, pulling a huge carriage, can actually gallop at high speed.

You can see how strong this carriage is!

And he had seen the steam engine played by the Zhao family, which was larger than that used by the gang, and their carriage was even more cumbersome.

The huge two-wheeled carriage had to be pulled by five horses in front of it before it could be pulled.

The speed is not fast, and I don't know how much behind the one I saw in front of me......

At this moment, in the body behind the iron car, several strong men were shirtless, desperately adding coal to the boiler.

Then the whistle of the boiler above suddenly sounded, and white mist sprayed out.

The people in front of the gas cylinders have been staring at the pressure gauge on the gas cylinders.

When you see that the value reaches a certain standard, you will wave the small flag in your hand.

Then the person on the ballista in front pulled the trigger......

The dozen or so ballista trucks immediately shot out thousands of arrows......

The crossbow bolts fired from these steam catapult cannons are much more powerful than the crossbow arrows wound by man.

Qin Shaoyu's lancers were also the elite of the sixteen cities of Yanyun.

All of them were heavily armored cavalrymen wearing plate armor, and the most important thing was the mount under their crotch, which was not an ordinary military horse.

It is a mutated creature similar to a war horse, which only grows in the Xiliang region where Liangchi Prefecture is located.

Gray-brown skin, no fur, and a sharp horn on its head, it doesn't seem to have much to do with horses anyway, but it looks like a rhinoceros with a trumpet.

This is a specialty of their Liangchi Prefecture, called the Iron Horse.

The size is slightly shorter than the war horses on this planet, but the body is much thicker, especially the limbs are unusually thick.

Although the speed of running is not as fast as that of a war horse, it is not much slower.

The bottom line is that it's powerful, and it's fierce.

The mount itself has rough skin and thick skin, with skin about the same thickness as that of a hippopotamus.

And the Qin family also put a stunned iron armor on the bodies of these iron-skinned horses to enhance protection.

In this way, the lancer in their hands has become an out-and-out heavy armored cavalry in this world.

In the past, once this cavalry appeared on the battlefield, it was an invincible killing god.

Unexpectedly, this time it hit the opponent's steam catapult cannon.

These steam catapult cannons were naturally modified by Yang Yinuan after they were captured from the Zhao family.

They optimized the steam engine because the sealing system was not very good in this era.

Therefore, it was a little difficult to work directly with the steam engine, so they directly divided the steam engine into two parts.

One part is to burn the boiler, which produces a large amount of water vapor, and then stores the water vapor in an iron tank.

Then the pressure is increased to a certain extent, and the water vapor is released into the cylinder, and then the piston is pushed to do a reciprocating motion to rotate the crankshaft.

The crankshaft is linked to the flywheel, which can constantly pull the bowstring to wind the ballista......
