Armoured cavalry, light cavalry, and rangers are used differently.

The cost of armored cavalry is the highest, and with the current national strength of the great cadres, they cannot be equipped much, and the cavalry units that the great cadres are preparing to form are light armored cavalry and rangers.

It's not that Wang Jing looks down on the Huns, it's really a waste to use armored horses to deal with the Huns. Most of the Huns were light cavalry, and the armor rate was very low.

Light cavalry and rangers were enough to deal with.

In contrast, the equipment of the cavalry is actually more worrying about the quality of the soldiers. Although Daqian's cavalry had been trained very well, their riding skills were still inferior to those of the Huns who had grown up on horseback since childhood.

Only a few talented and hard-working soldiers could have the riding skills of the Huns to match or surpass them.

In order to reverse this situation, Wang Jing finally took out the cavalry three-piece set after the number of war horses in the military horse farm was enough at the same time.

After Wang Jing inspected several military horse farms in the north, he wrote to Wang Jing that all the military horse farms in Daqian could provide 500,000 war horses.

Craftsman supervisor, Beiyuan test site.

Dozens of horses are galloping in the field, and next to them are a large number of people recording data. These people are testing the effectiveness of the cavalry trio.

The cavalry trio consists of a saddle, a horseshoe, and stirrups.

In fact, there was already a saddle in this era, and when King Wuling of Zhao Wuling Hufu rode and shot, a saddle had already appeared, but the saddle at that time was just a curved cushion on the horse's back.

The saddle here is a completely different Takahashi saddle, which combines ergonomics and can assist the rider to sit on the saddle better and with less effort. Because the front and back are very high, you can get your body stuck and not be thrown off when the war horse is running.

The stirrups on both sides of the saddle can help the knight better control the horse, freeing the knight's hands, and the horseshoe is used to protect the horse's shoes.

Especially for horseshoes, because of environmental problems, the number of war horses is less than that of the grassland, and the appearance of horseshoes reduces the wear and tear of war horses.

The horse's hooves are the nails of the horse, which is a layer of, with this layer of keratin protection, the horse can run, ride for a long time, or ride on a gravel road, it will cause the horse's hooves to wear and tear seriously, the horse can not run, and the horse will be wasted.

Basically, after a battle, thousands of horses were killed and injured for various reasons. With a horseshoe, the war horse basically does not have to worry about the wear and tear of the horse's hooves.

On the school field, dozens of war horses galloped, and the warriors on this war horse controlled the war horses to make various movements. There were even quite a few knights who began wielding weapons with both hands or shooting on horseback.

Dozens of knights armed with halberds, riding horses to rush back and forth on the school field, and even fighting in pairs, those actions that even many soldiers in the Yulin Guard could not do, but with the help of stirrups and saddles, they could easily do it.

The war horse galloped, and several knights drew their bows with their backhands, only to hear the collapse, and the continuous bowstring vibrate, and the straw man not far away was instantly pierced into a hedgehog.

"Color!"

The soldiers next to the school field cheered.

Immediately after that, several warriors slashed across the horizontal knife, and the war horse jumped over, and these straw men who were targets were cut off in an instant. The whole process was smooth and clean, and although they were already mentally prepared, everyone was still shocked.

On the other side, several Yu Linwei are controlling the war horses to run on the gravel road, the war horses back and forth, if before, galloping on this kind of road, the war horses would have fallen down a long time ago, and now the war horses are galloping back and forth without the slightest problem.

After a while, the test came to an end for the time being, and the excited knights dismounted.

"Guys, how does the ride feel?" The craftsman next to him asked.

"An artifact, it's an artifact!" The knight said excitedly, "In the past, my riding skills were only good, and I couldn't make much movement on horseback, let alone use weapons with both hands. ”

"Now I can control a horse with just two legs and shoot on horseback!"

Several knights next to him also said: "Yes, I also used my riding skills to be barely enough, but now I can control the war horse with my legs." ”

"The horse's hooves are not damaged in the slightest, the horseshoe is barely worn, and the nails are not shaken." The craftsman next to him inspected the horses running on the rocks, and then said excitedly.

After receiving feedback from everyone, the craftsmen were also very excited, and after dozens of improvements and adjustments, the cavalry three treasures finally succeeded.

In fact, there are basically no secrets in the Three Treasures of the Cavalry, as long as you look at it once, you will know its principle, and you can get the same equipment after experimenting. It is precisely because there are no technical barriers that even though the ancestors of the Wang clan knew that it could greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, they still did not use it.

Before occupying an excellent horse farm and having a large number of war horses, taking out this cavalry three treasures is to invest in the enemy.

"Hahaha, you have worked hard, I will report the news to Your Majesty soon!"

"Yui!"

After Wang Jing received the report, even if he had confidence in his ancestors, he was very shocked after the test of the cavalry trio was completed.

An edict was immediately issued to the craftsman supervisor, asking him to build at least 300,000 sets of cavalry three-piece suits within five years. At the same time, the edict ordered the horse farm to prepare enough war horses, and when the cavalry three-piece set was completed, it began to be equipped, and the edict ordered the formation of the dragon army and the hussar army.

And the edict ordered that no one should leak it, and those who dared to leak it were punished for treason.

The fact that there are now more than 36 million cadres is extremely astonishing in bringing into full play their strength. It is precisely because of this that Wang Jing has the confidence to order the formation of 200,000 cavalry, of which the Long Xiang army is a light cavalry, and the hussar army is a ranger. As for the armored cavalry, it has not been formed for the time being.

Although it was only a matter of time before the three treasures of the cavalry were leaked, Wang Jing's requirements were not high, as long as he kept it secret before the war with the Huns, after the first battle, the Huns would also find out this secret, but they didn't have time to make it.

What's more, with the productivity of the Huns, it will not be possible to popularize the three treasures of cavalry in ten years. By that time, it was already too late, and Daqian would not give him time at all.

Although the Huns formed a huge empire, their scientific and technological strength was still inferior to that of Daqian, and more importantly, iron ore was scarce on the grassland, and the Huns were not enough to forge weapons and armor.

At the same time, the appearance of horseshoes also made it possible to ride with armor, without horseshoes, the weight of the armor would make the horse's hooves wear out very quickly.

The advent of cavalry changed warfare, and when it first appeared, the chariot slipped from the position of supremacy and eventually became an auxiliary unit. When the Three Treasures of the Cavalry were born, the cavalry directly became the king of the cold weapon era.

It is precisely because of the appearance of cavalry that the expansion of the agrarian nation of China will be so amazing, so that today we can always hear a sentence: 'Since ancient times, XX has been an inseparable part of the sacredness of China'.

A cavalry with the Three Treasures of Cavalry is a real cavalry, and from then on, until the maturity of gunpowder weapons, cavalry has always been the master of the battlefield. Ever since it appeared, it has ruled the era of cold weapons, until the era of cold weapons.

At the same time, the emergence of the Three Treasures of Cavalry also allowed the agricultural civilization to be free from the restrictions of horsemanship, and to form a large-scale cavalry team. ——The Relationship between the Development of Ancient Warfare and the Agrarian Nation: Cavalry
