Chapter 0821 Armor Equipment(2/2)
Because this thing is really too expensive.
It was so expensive that even the wealthy Feng Junhou could barely raise three thousand horses so far.
The huge amount of money and food is just the foundation.
We also need to have qualified tall war horses and produce enough refined iron.
As for the knights, they are the easiest. After all, it is a common practice for the Han Dynasty to raise horses. Coupled with Feng Yong's scientific training, soldiers are not a problem.
Thanks to Emperor Xiaowu, he improved the horse breeds of the Han Dynasty. Coupled with the fact that horse breeding was popular in the Han Dynasty, the horses did not deteriorate as seriously as later generations.
In addition, Liangzhou Dama is famous all over the world.
So Feng Yong spent three years raising these horses by himself, trying to buy them at a high price from Liangzhou, and plundering them from all over Longyou, to finally get this few war horses together.
Coupled with the development of Nanxiang's iron smelting technology, Huang Yueying's improvement of iron smelting tools, and the personal supervision of the master Pu Yuan.
The production and quality of fine iron have been improved, which allowed Feng Yong to organize these three thousand heavy cavalry.
All of the above conditions are indispensable.
It can be said that without the foundation laid by Feng Yong over the years, these three thousand armored riding equipment would not be possible.
There are three thousand people in name, but in fact, the normal rangers and Hu riders are their followers.
In this official battle, all the rangers and horsemen in the army must first help them wear armor, and then follow them into battle.
The unusual silence in the Shu camp made Guo Huai feel a little uneasy.
He took advantage of the gap between the front and rear armies to find Cao Zhen:
"Da Sima, these Shu captives are elite soldiers, and they are also the Feng thief. They are full of scheming, vicious and cunning. General Kuang Zhi will see that when they retreat, they are orderly and not in chaos, not a rout."
"Now that they are suddenly huddled in the camp, they are afraid of some trick, so it is better to be more careful. Why not let people test them first and make arrangements before attacking the camp."
Cao Zhen had already been blinded by hatred at this time. He only wanted to catch Feng Wen and that beast, whip him a hundred times, and then skin him and dry him in the sun.
Why are you still thinking about waiting?
"I think that Feng Wenhe has all kinds of tricks, is it possible that he can still defeat my army?!"
Wasn't he a cow a few days ago?
That's because he still wants to leave some remaining strength to capture Xiao Pass.
Now when he shows his full strength, shouldn't he have to retreat obediently?
It's just that in this battle, I was calculated mentally and unintentionally, and at the same time I had a huge military advantage, but in the end it ended up like this. Even if I won, it would not be very glorious.
Thinking again that all his plans had failed, the anger in Cao Zhen's heart became even higher.
The most important thing is that Feng Thief has delayed himself for too much time, and he is afraid that reinforcements from the Shu captives are about to arrive.
It is estimated that after this battle, the best opportunity to capture Xiao Pass has been lost.
If I don't take advantage of the victory to attack the camp now, I will really let Feng Thief escape. How can I face His Majesty?
Thinking of this, Cao Zhen looked at Guo Huai with blood-red eyes: "General Guo, didn't you say at the beginning that you wanted to be a vanguard to break thieves? This time I will follow your wish!"
When Guo Huai heard this, his body trembled subconsciously!
If he said that he didn't know Feng Zeizhirui before, so he said that, then in these days, he finally realized how difficult the other party was.
Guo Huai, who had been directing operations on the front line, could see that the Shu captives' retreat to the camp was by no means a rout, but an orderly retreat.
It was probably impossible to say that the other party was playing some trick, because he could see that the Shu captives really couldn't stand it anymore.
But if the other party wants to hold the camp and delay time, then it is very possible.
What he was worried about was that if Thief Feng really wanted to delay, he would definitely make arrangements in the camp.
The first batch of soldiers who went up to attack the camp were afraid that they would not get a good deal.
But at this time, he couldn't swallow what he had said before, so he had no choice but to respond: "General, you dare not obey your orders?"
At the same time, I thought to myself: If I can't get anything good, I can't get it. As long as I can defeat Feng Thief, it can be regarded as eliminating a big harm to the Wei Dynasty.
With this thought in mind, I went down to make preparations for attacking the camp without mentioning it.
As a general of the Wei army, Guo Huai had his own merits, so he instinctively felt that something was wrong, but the Wei soldiers below did not feel anything was wrong.
Seeing that the Shu captives were forced to retreat to the camp, most of the soldiers were very excited. After fighting hard for many days, they were about to capture the thieves.
But before they could begin to attack the city, the gate of the camp opposite suddenly opened wide, and even a large section of the wall collapsed.
This sudden turn of events shocked many Wei soldiers.
"Could it be possible...the Shu captives are planning to surrender?"
Someone said subconsciously.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a faint vibration on the ground.
"what is that?"
Those with sharp eyes saw a row of red iron walls appearing on the opposite side, and they were also red iron walls that moved forward.
As the red iron wall quickly approached, the shaking on the ground became more and more obvious.
The hooves move like thunder!
The heavy cavalry, both men and horses wrapped in red iron armor, held up long cavalry-specific spears and rushed over like a red torrent.
Before Wei Jun, who was at the front, could figure out what he was facing, his body was knocked away like a piece of paper.
This is...cavalry?
The last thought of many people before they die is: Is this the ghost knight from the underworld summoned by the ghost king?
Needless to say, the cavalry were all covered in armor. Even their faces were covered with iron masks, with only a pair of extremely cold eyes exposed.
The mount they sat on had its face covered with a narrow iron shield, like its owner, only its eyes were exposed.
There was an armor made of armor on his neck, and his chest and body were all well protected.
The person and the mount seem to be integrated into one, making it impossible to tell what they are.
The Wei army was originally at the time when the front and rear armies were alternating. Coupled with the fierce charge of this unknown monster, no one could stop it, and a big hole was torn open in one fell swoop.
"Assault rider!"
Even though she was prepared in her heart, Guan Ji never expected that the impact of this armored riding equipment would be so powerful!
Wherever the armor and riding equipment touched, the Wei army collapsed at the first touch, just like anointing oil meeting a red-hot iron.
In the blink of an eye, the heavy cavalry had broken through the Wei army's front army. Their speed did not slow down and they continued to rush inward.
Guan Ji almost couldn't react, and immediately shouted: "Quick, Tuqi, follow up!"
The front line of the Wei army, which had been ravaged by heavy cavalry, was in a mess. Before they could recover from their shock, sudden cavalry, Hu cavalry, and wandering cavalry followed closely.
Spears, halberds, long arrows and heavy arrows descended like heavy rain.
"Don't stop, follow Jia Qi and charge forward!"
Guan Ji shouted sharply.
The drums of the Han army became more and more passionate.
Zhao Guang, who was rushing at the front, could no longer hear the drums from behind. Now he only remembered his sister's instructions before setting off: that is, rush, rush, rush!
Don't look back, keep moving forward!
Charge as far as you can. If you break through Cao Cao's army, that would be the best!
The iron hoofs knocked away countless objects, first the infantry, then the cavalry, and then the tents...
If you can't hit them, just crush them!
No one can stop this torrent of red iron armor.
Cao Zhen was about to give the order to the front army to prepare to attack the camp, when he saw some personal guards running towards him:
Chapter completed!
