And Ji Ruo also had to be patient and perfunctory, so easy, waiting for the two adults to say goodbye and leave, before rushing out to meet Huang Chang - she is now finally getting used to scanning the surroundings with her divine thoughts, so as long as Huang Chang is close to a certain range, there is no need to report or greet her, and the little girl naturally senses it.

"Brother Achang, I won!"

For Ji Ruo, who rarely has actual combat experience, last night's victory was obviously significant. Although she was not able to capture or kill her opponent alive, it was the first time she had fought and won a real foreign opponent on her own, so like all teenagers, Ji Ruo was very excited and excited.

"Ha, Brother Achang, I couldn't help but want to ask you for help a few times last night, but I finally survived - thanks to you not making a move, otherwise I don't know what I can do!"

It seemed that Ji Ruo didn't know that he wasn't there, and Huang Chang sighed secretly in his heart. If the little girl found out that she wasn't actually next to her last night, maybe she would have thought differently. Of course, this kind of ending is the best at the moment, and Huang Chang naturally won't debunk it.

And Ji Ruo's victory was not only an encouragement to her personally, but also inspired a number of high-level officials in Linquan County, including Guo Shouhuan and Sima Jie. They had already planned to take the initiative, and after this battle, they were even more confident. So within a few days, their long-brewing plan for the attack was implemented.

............

A few days later, outside the city of Linquan County, on the avenue.

The chariots, the horses, the bows and arrows of the pedestrians are all at their waists - in Huang Chang's previous life, the scene of Du Fu's "Soldiers' Chariots" is presenting in front of him at this moment.

Huang Chang rode on a high-headed war horse, watching one after another square shield carts wrapped in iron armor rush in front of him, and the carts were full of heavily armed soldiers—these were the regular troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and only the central military department of the imperial court had the right to move, and they were by no means comparable to the county soldiers temporarily recruited by ordinary counties.

In this Xianxia world, due to the existence of immortal cultivators and martial arts masters, the military is not the most important violent institution in the hands of the state. The strength of the country depends on the strength of the Xianmen behind it. However, this is by no means to say that the army is useless, in fact, it is precisely because of the existence of the above two that the armies of today's countries are far superior to the "ancient armies" in the general concept in terms of personnel quality, weaponry, and combat strength.

Due to the different resource allocations, geographical environments, and major adversaries faced by each country, today's countries often have their own unique and advantageous types of troops. For example, in the northern region, the most famous of the Yan and Zhao kingdoms on the verge of the prairie were cavalry -- Zhao Zhitu Shi was known for riding a long bow and fast horse, and was as swift as the wind; and for example, the Wei state, which occupied Hexi and the mountains and rivers, was the most famous was the ironclad warrior -- the Wei warrior claimed to be able to wear heavy armor all over his body, carry all the weapons on his back, and carry three days of grain and straw, and travel a hundred miles in half a day without changing his face; and there were also Qi Zhi skill fencers and Qin Zhi death fighters...... and so on, all have their own strengths.

As for the Great Zhou Dynasty where Huang Chang belonged, of course, it also had its own main army - only the main, not the exclusive.

Da Zhou is the co-ruler of the world, the people's life is relatively rich and comfortable, the character of the countrymen is not so brave, and the quality of the soldiers themselves is average. However, the Great Zhou Dynasty had abundant materials, so their main forces were also more focused on foreign objects - the most famous of the Great Zhou Dynasty was the charioteers, which Huang Chang saw at the moment, an army composed of shield chariots.

In Huang Chang's previous life, military chariots were also popular for a while during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, but they were soon replaced by more light and flexible pure cavalry. In this world, the charioteers have been preserved, and all the countries of the world have their subordinates. However, only the Great Zhou Dynasty had the most military vehicles and the best equipment.

Strictly speaking, charioteers could not be regarded as an independent branch of the army, because the composition of chariot soldiers was more complex - according to the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a chariot was usually equipped with eight to ten horses. Four of them were used for trailers, while the rest were used as auxiliary cavalry and horses. Each chariot is equipped with twenty soldiers, including six cavalrymen, ten soldiers, two pilots, and at least two elite veterans who can skillfully use various weapons and tactics, and even more powerful captains who can serve as the soul of the team.

Such a group of people constitutes the most basic combat unit. The military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the habit of taking a team of twenty people came from this. The chariot was equipped with swords, shields, bows, crossbows, spears and other weapons, and when encountering the enemy, this armored chariot was the core, and the new or old and weak soldiers and old and weak used bows and spears to resist the enemy, and the elite warriors and cavalry fought around - this was the tactic of a single vehicle. And if it is a large army, a number of chariots are lined up and connected to each other by steel chains, forming a chariot array or even a chariot city. No matter what opponent you encounter, you are often invincible if you have such a solid position in hand. The cavalry, crossbowmen, sword, shield, and spearmen attached to the vehicle can be mobilized in a unified manner, and various arms groups can be temporarily formed as needed to perform different tasks.

This is the greatest advantage of the charioteer - it is super adaptable, and can target tactics against any class. Whether used for offense, defense, or heavy transport, this type of vehicle can be adapted. Moreover, an army with a large number of horses and vehicles as a means of transport could carry more food and baggage than ordinary infantry or cavalry, and be equipped with heavier weapons and armor, and even large crossbows and trebuchets on their vehicles if necessary. Naturally, the corresponding combat effectiveness has also been greatly enhanced.

There are only two disadvantages: one is that the terrain is required, which is more limited in complex terrain, and on the other hand, the cost is huge, and if you want to equip a group of charioteers, it will cost far more money and materials than other troops. The requirements for soldiers' combat skills and coordination are also very high. Fortunately, the Great Zhou Dynasty occupied the essence of the Yin Shang Empire, and most of the country was a plain terrain, which was suitable for chariots and soldiers. Moreover, its own national strength is quite strong, and it can also be equipped - other countries in the world also have chariot soldiers, so charioteers are not the only troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty. But in the nations, charioteers are often deployed only as a small number of elite forces. In the Great Zhou Kingdom, basically most of the standing armies were "chariotized".
