Many people only know that Qi Shaobao killed all sides in the south of the Yangtze River, chopping melons and vegetables to kill the widows, and few people really know what happened after Qi Shaobao Beizhen Jizhen.

After Qi Shaobao arrived in the north, according to the combat characteristics of the Mongols on his side, he improved the mandarin duck array, increased the proportion of firearms in the mandarin duck array, and equipped it with improved martial arts vehicles, and then cooperated with the cavalry, and the Mongols did not dare to invade the territory for decades.

Zhang Xi couldn't copy the firearms for a while, after all, Zhang Xi didn't even have gunpowder now.

The improved Wugang car, Zhang Xi can still try it.

Yes, just give it a try.

In this year, there was a prototype of the Wugang car, but although the Wugang car of this era belonged to a light chariot, it was easy to move, and it was also relative to a large chariot, in fact, it still belonged to the category of chariots, and it looked relatively bulky.

The Wugang chariot of this era is a light chariot less than one meter wide, with a standing shield on the front, and the shield is covered with cowhide, the front part of the car is placed with antlers, and the rear end can be connected to the horse.

Although it is lighter than combat vehicles, it is still bulky overall.

And Wugang has an important shortcoming, that is, it can only defend.

The Wugang car is surrounded in a circle, more like a temporary camp, with antlers outside and a shield in front, which can effectively isolate the impact of the cavalry, block the speed offensive of the cavalry, and reduce the cavalry's cavalry shooting damage.

But once the Wugang car formed a circle defense, it also means that the battlefield initiative was surrendered, and when the cavalry took the initiative to retreat, the defense of the Wugang car was officially over. He does not possess the ability to attack actively.

So whether it is Wei Qing or Qi Shaobao, their real trick to defeat the enemy is still cavalry.

Wei Qing used Wugang to defend and block the attack of the Huns and consume the sharpness of the Huns.

In addition to Wu Gangche, Wei Qing would also send cavalry to cruise around the periphery of the battlefield in advance, and from time to time he would give the Huns a bled and bloodletting, so that the Hun cavalry could be defeated.

Qi Shaobao slightly improved the Wugang car, in fact, the main thing was to reduce the construction cost of the Wugang car, and the civilian flatbed car was modified, which not only improved the defensive area of the Wugang car, but also built a camp gate about one meter wide and could be opened and closed at the adjacent place of the two cars.

Usually the camp gate is closed to block the cavalry's arrows and charges, but once the camp gate is opened, the cavalry hiding in the camp will go out along the camp gate and directly pursue the enemy cavalry.

This has an advantage, that is, it can allow Qi Shaobao to unify the command of the mandarin duck array and the cavalry, and decide when to rely on Wugang chariots to defend and when to use cavalry to attack. There is no need to let the cavalry roam outside like Wei Qing, the grasp of the fighter plane is completely up to the decision of the cavalry leader himself, and if he is not careful, the cavalry cruising outside may be surrounded by the enemy's superior forces, and he cannot be saved.

But no matter what, whether it is Wei Qing or Qi Shaobao, the use of Wugang is only used to defend against the enemy in the wild, and the real killing moves are cavalry.

Relying only on the defense of the Wugang car, without the consequences of the cavalry's response, also has the sign of the front car.

Our Taishi Gong's good friend - Li Ling.

Li Ling was also aggrieved, there were not enough cavalry at hand, so he could only use Wugang chariots to defend, and retreated while killing the enemy, but he waited until the food ran out, and he did not wait for Li Guangli's reinforcements, and finally had to surrender to the Huns.

Therefore, the Wugang car has its limitations.

But for the current Zhang Xi, Wugang car is a good choice.

The future Nagasaka slope is a battle royale.

Regardless of whether it was the tiger and leopard cavalry or Cao Cao's army, Liu Bei was the one who fled for his life, and what Zhang Xi could do was to try to help Liu Bei and the people who followed him to buy a little time to escape.

In this case, the battlefield movement is quite convenient, and the Wugang car, which can resist cavalry and stop infantry, is a good choice.

The use of Wugang cars this time is not to break the enemy and win, but to delay time.

Of course, if Cao Cao really led the army to chase after him, then Zhang Xi would not care about the Wugang car or not, and he could escape first, otherwise no matter how lucky he was, it would be Li Ling's fate.

But if it was only those thousands of tigers and leopards who came, then Zhang Xi thought that there was really a problem in this matter.

Liu Beijun has too few cavalry, so don't think about breaking the enemy.

But relying on Wu Gangche's defensive ability, to buy time for Liu Bei and the people, and finally fight and retreat, the possibility of retreating is still very large.

With just a few thousand cavalry, there is no way to completely surround the infantry guarded by Wugang chariots.

Of course, the Wugang car here is talking about Qi Shaobao's improved Wugang car, one is cheap, and it is not distressing to lose it, and the other is lightweight, easy to move, and has a door, which is also convenient to escape.

Zhang Xi has a plan, he plans to build a few prototypes first, and then test them in Zhang Fei's barracks, ask Zhang Fei, the battlefield veteran, to help take a look, if it is suitable, promote it, if it is not suitable, ask Zhang Fei to help change it.

But just after Zhang Xicai built ten Wugang cars, he was about to try them the next day. He was summoned by the lord Liu Bei.

The reason why Liu Bei summoned Zhang Xi was a little complicated.

Jiangxia guarded Liu Qi too much, and it was the first time to "use troops" with foreign countries, although he "recovered" the lost territory, but it also made Liu Qi feel one thing - his control over Jiangxia was seriously insufficient.

This time to "recover" the three northern counties of Jiangxia, relying on the personal soldiers brought by Liu Qi, part of the army controlled by Su Fei, and Chen Zhi's command During this period, although Huang Jie, the chief secretary of Jiangxia, did not make trouble, he did not give much support.

However, the Huang family's influence in Jiangxia was very large, and Liu Qi felt the constraints from the family for the first time.

The reason why Liu Qi doesn't like the Jingzhou family is because he has seen too much of Liu Biao's grievances of having to cooperate with the family after seeing too much of Liu Biao's various incompetence and anger since he was a child, so he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

This dispatch reminded Liu Qi of his father's aggrieved appearance again, so he was also full of vigilance against the main book of Huang Jie.

After all, Huang Zhu is the son of Huang Zu, and Huang Zu. The father and son of the Liu family said that they were all one idea - very annoying.

But Liu Qi is an adult after all, he is almost thirty years old, and it is impossible to put everything on his face like he did when he was a child, and he will not feel that Jingzhou is where he and his father have the final say.

To calculate the yellow shot, Liu Qi needs to have his own strength.

It is not enough to rely on Su Fei alone, and on the Xiangyang side, although Liu Qi wrote several letters to Liu Biao, he did not receive a single reply, so Liu Qi could only write to his good uncle Liu Bei to ask him for help.

One, I want to ask Liu Bei to help introduce a civil official who can help him manage government affairs.

The other is to ask Liu Bei to help and send someone to help him train the army.

Liu Bei has never seen such a good thing in his life.

It's both government and military. This is simply an opportunity to meddle in Jiangxia's affairs.

Liu Bei was so happy at that time that he almost wanted to send Zhang Fei and Xu Shu to Liu Qi.

But Liu Bei is so face-saving, he doesn't want to bully his "nephew" too much, and the other doesn't want to turn his face directly with Liu Biao If Xu Shu and Zhang Fei go to Jiangxia, Liu Qi may not react, but Liu Biao will definitely jump to his feet.

Therefore, Liu Bei searched for a long time in his army before finding such a suitable candidate as Zhang Xi.

There are so many civil and military soldiers under Liu Bei, those who have been with him for a long time are basically registered on Liu Biao's side, Liu Bei can't send these people to Jiangxia, Liu Biao can easily detect the cat.

And Liu Bei's new Zhuge Liang needless to say, although Liu Biao doesn't use it, it doesn't mean that Liu Biao doesn't know this person, and the two of them are still related. Xu Shu doesn't need to say that Xu Shu is Liu Biao who voted first, and after talking to Liu Biao, he felt that Liu Biao was not the master, and Liu Bei, who left a book and ran away, such a person, how could Liu Biao not be impressed.

After all, only Zhang Xi has not been voting for himself for a long time, and he has no reputation, but he still knows how to train Liu Bei can only choose Zhang Xi.

Of course, Liu Bei is still relatively "humane".

"It's all up to the chief. If the chief is unwilling, he will not force it, and he will find someone else. Liu Bei looked like an elder and said to Zhang Xi.

You see, Liu Bei fully respected your opinion before transferring you to work, and Zhang Xi felt that if he really dared to say "I won't go", Liu Bei Jiucheng would really not force it.

But. Go to Jiangxia?!

Now that I'm in Jiangxia, doesn't that mean that I can safely escape the catastrophe of Changbanpo?!

Don't risk it.

It's just that in this way, Liu Bei still has to carry a big heel in Changbanpo like in history, and escape with Zhang Fei and Zhuge Liang under the protection of more than a dozen cavalry, and his daughter, Xu Shu's mother, has to be caught by Cao Cao.

Liu Bei's daughters are okay, at least Cao Cao didn't treat them badly, and arranged for them to marry the eunuchs. But what should Xu Shu do?! When the time comes, you have to go north to join Cao Cao?!

Zhang Xi thought silently for a while, and finally looked up at Liu Bei and said.

"The lord has an order, how dare Xi disobey."
