Chapter 137: The Grassland Situation 2
When Liu Xingyuan's troops in Dahua Mountain learned that Wanyan Dujia led a 100,000 army to Xingzhong Prefecture, they were a little worried. The enemy on the opposite side was stuck in several ways in the mountains and could not handle the opponent for a while. However, Xingzhong Prefecture is still more important than the opposite side. Tens of thousands of people from the Liu family gathered in the Xingzhong Prefecture area, with less than 30,000 defensive troops. The army of Wei Wei went south to Xingzhong Prefecture and had to increase some troops to garrison.
"Liu Kui obeyed the order and ordered you to take 50,000 people to Xingzhong Prefecture immediately. No matter what, Xingzhong Prefecture cannot be lost."
Liu Kui is a young man, and he is also a member of the Liu clan of the Northern Liao Dynasty. In terms of seniority, he is still Liu Xingyuan's great-grandson. "Take 50,000 people south? Who is the grandfather here?"
"You don't need to worry about this here. The little guy opposite can't eat me. Xingzhong Mansion is a great gateway and must not be abandoned. Lead your troops there."
"Yes, the last general will receive the order. Unless the grandson dies in battle, he will never lose the Central Government."
...
The veteran is worthy of being a veteran. It is very necessary for him to worry. Xingzhong Prefecture is the gateway of Dading. Once the enemy breaks through Xingzhong Prefecture, the gateway of Dading Prefecture will be wide open. The enemy will attack Dading Prefecture without any stop. Liu Xingyuan did not want to divide his troops, but Bei Liao no longer has any extra troops to mobilize now. The eldest prince in the Far East was dragged by the old thing Wanyan Juechen. The 300,000 army of Xiao Zhenshan in Wangjianhe was killed by Nalan Shu. Xiao Zhenhai suppressed the rebels in the east. Where can he have any extra troops to go south? Even his 100,000 army was separated from the capital, and if he wanted to support Xingzhong Prefecture, he could only divide his troops from him. Fortunately, the enemy on the opposite side was not as strong as he thought. Fifty thousand troops were against 100,000, and for him, he could still remain undefeated with decades of battlefield experience.
"The order was sent to all the troops of Dahua Mountain Pass retreat in the afternoon."
"yes"
Half of the troops were transferred, forcing him to concentrate his strength to play the second largest, otherwise he would be in no way able to withstand the enemy. In the mountains and fields, it depends on who has stronger physical strength. If it is not as good as me, then at least one-third of your troops will be cut off this time. I hope it will not be lost all the eight cities of Xingzhong Prefecture!
(It's just that when he was worried about Xingzhong Prefecture, the Wei army had already obtained the Yellow River Pasture, and would step across Yinshan and go directly to Dading Prefecture.)
...
———
In the spring of the fourth year of Emperor Liwu of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Uighur Khan and Luo Dada surrendered to the Grand Master's Mansion of the Great Wei Dynasty, and the gates of Fengzhou opened wide to welcome the Northwest Army of the Great Wei Dynasty.
At this time, the Uighur Khan raised his glass of wine with Luo Dada in the tent of the Uighurs, "Hahaha! It is a honor for our clan to be a guest in the Great Wei family. Come on, I will toast Brother Chen first for this glass of wine."
Of course Chen Chuan would not be polite. If you can get the Yellow River Ranch without blood, you will rely on this Uighur Khan. How can you not give people face? He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and looked at the other party and smiled, "Khan is so polite. Uighurs and my Great Wei are a hundred years of national relatives. If you come to visit your guests, you will only visit relatives normally, and you don't need to be so polite."
"Haha! It's all the fault of the Donghu people. If they hadn't been oppressed by force, our old family would not have cut off contact for more than two hundred years. It's my wish to be able to return to the Great Wei. I wonder if His Majesty Emperor Wu is in good health? If I have the chance, I have to go to the capital to meet His Majesty, and go to the imperial tomb to worship His Majesty Gaozu and my Uighur Aunt."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Oh! This is OK, but Your Majesty has been busy with war recently and may not be able to meet Khan. In my opinion, Khan should wait for a while before going!"
"Well! It's good. I wonder if Brother Chen will continue to move eastward next? Wherever there are places where you need Uighurs' help, Brother Chen just speaks and don't be polite to me."
Finally, it was about the main topic. Since the Uighurs automatically surrendered, he would definitely not be polite. "I dare to ask Khan, how many military horses are left on the Yellow River Ranch now?"
Haha! I guessed that Chen Chuan would ask about this. The main purpose of wanting the Yellow River Ranch was to be war horses. It was just right to talk to him when I mentioned it. "The Donghu war has been defeated in the past six months, so the amount of war horses is very large. Xiao Zhenhai took nearly 100,000 war horses when he withdrew his troops a year ago. Now there are less than 50,000 war horses available for military use in the ranch. If Brother Chen needs a large number of war horses, he can only wait for another year. If there is no accident next year, he should be able to produce 20,000 horses." (The horse production situation is related to aquatic plants, or animal diseases, large-scale deaths, miscarriages, etc., which affect the output of war horses)
Chen Chuan was a little unhappy when he came. When he came, he saw war horses everywhere in the pasture, and the number must be at least hundreds of thousands. Tong Luo Khan told him that there were less than 50,000 horses. When Chen Chuan was blind, he said with a little bad tone, "Tong Luo Khan thought I was good at bullying? Less than 50,000 horses? He saw no less than 100,000 horses on his way. Why did Khan deceive me?"
Yes, if you don’t understand horses, you don’t understand horses. What people say is the truth. Since you have already surrendered, is there any need to deceive him? He heard that he had misunderstood with Luo Dada in this tone, so he quickly raised his glass to apologize to him. "Hey, hey... Brother Chen calmed down, the misunderstanding is really a misunderstanding. I didn’t explain it clearly. Drinking a glass of wine to calm down and relieve the breath."
Didn't explain clearly? How else could I explain it? Hundreds of thousands of horses told him less than 50,000. If he was foolish, Chen Chuan was not a fool? "Hmph", it depends on how you explain it. I will kill you anytime and anywhere. I will pick up the wine glass in front of me and express my feelings to Tong Luodada, and then pour it into my mouth with force.
Seeing that he had finished drinking, he had to shake his head and smile bitterly, "Brother Chen thinks he is cheating on you because he saw hundreds of thousands of horses in the circle along the road when he came? Haha! It seems that Brother Chen doesn't understand horses very well. In fact, none of the horses that Brother Chen saw on the road were war horses. If I use a group of bad horses and a mother foal to let Brother Chen use war horses, wouldn't this push Brother Chen into the fire pit?"
Chen Chuan frowned and asked in confusion, "Oh? What does this mean?"
"Haha! The reason why this war horse can be called a war horse must be to go to the battlefield to fight. It takes three years for a horse to grow from a foal to a strong horse, but not all adult strong horses are suitable for being war horses. I believe Brother Chen also knows that the Yellow River pasture is full of water and grass, and the number of horses produced is generally not less than 200,000. But does Brother Chen understand that there are mares among all these horses? The total number of horses is 200,000. Among them, mares must be picked out? Not too much, what about 80,000? Excluding 80,000, is 12.
Wan, but do you have to kick out the inferior horses in these 120,000 horses? Not too much, what about 50,000? 120,000 minus 50,000, but you can't beat all the 70,000 horses, right? Bad horses can only be made into meat horses and not as stallions. How can you leave 10,000 or 20,000 bribes? No, 200,000 horses become horses in the end, but only 50,000 can be used as war horses. I'm still counting it to the higher level. The actual situation is likely to be lower than this number. Brother Chen still thinks I'm cheating on you now?"
Chen Chuan wondered, and he knew that it was difficult to cultivate war horses, but he didn't expect that 200,000 horses could only pick out 50,000 to be war horses. But why did Anxi produce such a high rate of war horses? Even if he spends all his savings in Western Liao, there would be no 400,000 cavalry? He couldn't help asking again, "Why did Western Liao produce such a high rate of war horses? It's impossible that the gap is so big, right?" (Anxi is not all Western Liao war horses, and there are also war horses that rob people from the desert. Even if the 400,000 cavalry force Tuoba Hongyu to death, he wouldn't be able to make up so many.)
Alas! He was so troubled by Luo Dada's question. He had been leading troops for more than ten years and didn't even understand the basic knowledge of war horses. There was no way to go. He could only continue to explain, "Brother Chen doesn't know that the breed of war horses is different from each place. I believe that Brother Chen has also seen the Tu tribe war horses. Do they find that their war horses are generally taller than the war horses in the northern Liao grassland?"
Chen Chuan nodded, "That's the case. The variety is said to be called Dashen Blood (there was no name at the beginning, and the names of those Dashen Blood were borrowed, and they were simply called Dashen Blood)."
He smiled with Luo Dada, "Haha! What kind of sweat and blood are all mixed-blood horses, but they are located in the Gobi desert and are so tall because of the environment. According to Brother Chen, do you think that my grassland war horses are not as good as those of the Tu tribe's desert horse breeds? In fact, Brother Chen changed his mind and thought about it. What did the cavalry pursue in the past? Two words - degree, having unparalleled mobility is the key to victory. And what are the cavalry pursuing now? Since the heavy armor and heavy weapons appeared, they restrained the cavalry
Very large, so the cavalry now adds lethality on the basis of the degree. This situation is very unfavorable to the grassland cavalry. Just like Brother Chen is here to attack me now. It is obvious that Brother Chen is not as good as me, but I still can't beat Brother Chen after all. Of course, I can run, but the result of escaping is that I throw away the ranch and admit defeat. My grassland war horses are generally warm, and the mare has no explosive power, and it doesn't matter to be a pack horse, but I just can't be a war horse. The inferior horse is more timid and even the courage to fight with the same sex.
So how can they bear the heavy responsibility of charging? I guess they have to be scared and turned around and run away before they contacted the enemy. The reason why the high horse yield in the desert is mainly due to the nature of the horse. In fact, the horse yield of the Tu tribe is not high, which is even lower than that of the grassland. However, their horse breeds are generally strong. Not to mention fighting with the same-sex people, they dare to compete with them even if they encounter wolves. Only in this way can Brother Chen feel that the high horse yield of the Tu tribe is. As for Brother Chen, he thinks that the grassland war horse is not as good as the desert war.
Horses, in my opinion, only have their own advantages. One: Grassland war horses are warm in nature, strong in endurance, fast in intensity, and not easily frightened, while the Tu tribe's desert war horses are strong in nature, and they will be furious and difficult to control if they are a little stimulating. Two: Big war horses are definitely not as flexible as small in terms of flexibility, just like fighting, so what if they are big? You are slow to react and can't catch me, but I can attack you everywhere. Three: Big body is big and eat a lot, small in terms of food, small in terms of food! Is it saving money? Haha!"
The third point he was joking, but Chen Chuan couldn't laugh at all. He thought he knew the cavalry very well, but he didn't even get any fur. He looked up at Tong Luodada, and his eyes seemed to meet a lover who had been away for a long time. "Khan, please make sure to agree to me for something."
⊙?⊙Urgent? I was puzzled with Luo Dada. Could it be that it would be better to help you raise horses? I wouldn’t have asked me to fight for you, right? Now, the war is not the same as before. In the past, if you have more than 100,000 troops, you can dominate one side and establish a country. Now? The army of 100,000 troops started with 100,000 troops. His Uighur population is only about 300,000, and the total number of troops is less than 50,000. The scene is a little larger, which is probably not enough to make people feel toothed.
Chen Chuan was also a wise man. Seeing that he had been slow to speak, he knew that he had been thinking wrongly. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Khan, don't think too much. I mean, I don't mean to let Khan send troops, but I want to ask Khan to be the chief cavalry in charge of the Northwest Army of the Great Wei Dynasty. The source of troops will be all the costs of my Grand Tutor's Mansion. Moreover, all war horses are produced in the Yellow River Ranch. My Grand Tutor's Mansion is willing to buy them twice the price for Khan. I wonder what Khan wants to do?"
Tong Luodada's little heart was so scared that he was jumping up. He thought he wanted to send troops to attack Donghu, but it turned out that he wanted to ask him to be the cavalry coach. So he clasped his fists and responded, "Where are you? I can't even get a tael of silver for Donghu. How dare I charge twice the price for the Great Wei court for His Majesty Emperor Wu? Just give me some hard work fees for my tribe. Brother Chen doesn't need to pay twice the price."
Chen Chuan didn't understand this grassland system. Nomads all use races and tribes as groups, running around all day long, and counting wherever they go, living with water! Therefore, the imperial court does not collect taxes based on accounts, but all according to tribes and races. Amount! It's wrong, it's called taxes, but it's actually a tribute. Each tribe or race will have a tribute, just like the Uighurs have Khans, the Western Liao people have a lord, the Xiongnu people have a shanyu, the Rouran people have a dam, etc. As the lord, there must be a fixed pasture, and the tribute will be at the tribute.
...At the time of tax collection, the grassland court will send special people to the tribes to collect taxes. Cattle, sheep, war horses, wine, leather, etc. can be regarded as "tax". Why do we say that it is a gift? Haha! In fact, these tribes are not paid for officials from the Northern Liao Dynasty. Just as the court grants them an official position, there is no tax on time, and the extra tax will be considered your own financial income. Just like Tuoba Hongyu, all the Tu tribe herders have to pay taxes, and he doesn't care about herders' anything.
, There is only one kind of person who has a salary in the grassland - soldiers. If there was no military pay for soldiers a hundred years ago, because no matter how much they had won a battle, it would be yours. Later, the reason for implementing the military pay system was that he was afraid of being beaten by Donghu. The soldiers of his own tribe were willing to work hard for you, so what if they join your tribe? Who would be willing to work for you for free when you fell? It is light for trees to fall and scatter, but in serious cases, it can help the enemy fuck you. To this day, there are still many small tribes in the grassland.
The soldiers paid the soldiers and the small tribes that joined the Northern Liao Dynasty, as long as they sent troops for the court, no matter any race, they would give soldiers paid. If they stayed in the tribe, they would definitely have no money to get them. Just like the Uighurs, the 50,000 cavalry only had the 20,000 people who fought for the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the remaining 30,000 would be in vain and there was no silver. All the war horses they raised every year were given to Northern Liao. Murong Wudi, as the general of the Western Liao Dynasty, worked for Tuoba Hongyu in vain. Not only did he not have a salary, he also had to take money from his family to pay taxes to Tuoba Hongyu.
Chen Chuan knew that these things were not known when he had fought with the Northern Liao for more than ten years. He knew when he was a child. Why? Haha! Because the current Great Wei Empire! When the Northern Wei fought for the Central Plains, there was a fart salary. After the rise, he copied the Great Jin system and gave salaries to officials. Otherwise, how could he say that Emperor Taizu of the Great Wei was so talented and wise? Several emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty never thought of these problems at all. They thought that the Han people had a higher bloodline and would respond to them. Who would believe it if they didn't change the nomadic system? If they didn't give officials, would they have to let them steal the people? In addition, the appointment of Han people at that time was more than ten times more than the Northern Wei tribe, and it was necessary to implement the transformation from the nomadic system to the Great Jin system. There were so many Han clans at the end of the Jin Dynasty, but the Northern Wei family said that they belonged to the Han people, and they could listen to his orders. Who would listen to him without actual actions?
I told Luo Dada that there is no need to buy war horses twice the price, but I added a little hard work fee. This is very clear. I want me to help you raise horses, but you can give it. On the basis of twice, you can only be more or less. If you give it more, the amount of war horses will not be low. If you give it less... Haha! Then I can't guarantee the yield of war horses! It is very easy to find an excuse in the grassland. If the snow is thick, it will be a white disaster, and if the snow is less, it will be a black disaster. There are more problems affecting the yield of livestock than in the Central Plains. Nowadays, everything is linked to interests. The tribes on the grassland are no different from the era of the Central Plains.
Of course, even if he didn't mention it, Chen Chuan wouldn't treat him badly. That boy Anxi didn't give him money from the Tu tribe? Otherwise, Tuoba Hongyu wouldn't be willing to do it with him!
"Khan, you need to be polite. My Great Wei will definitely not let the Uighurs suffer a loss. I just have a question to ask. Does Khan know that there are heavy cavalry different from the Great Xuan Armor? And the combat power is more terrifying than the Great Xuan Heavy Cavalry?"
More terrifying than the Great Xuan Heavy Cavalry? Are there any cavalry more terrifying than the Great Xuan Heavy Cavalry these days? Is it possible? I frowned slightly and looked up at Chen Chuan and affirmed, "Yes, the Beisha Demon Legion. During the Grassland War a hundred years ago, the Donghu defeated the Tu tribe of the West Grassland overlord, and then went north to attack the Huns and Rouran people. Because the Donghu was powerful, they once suppressed the two tribes to fight. There was a Tianlang Army that opened the way and neither of the two tribes were their opponents, but later they suffered a major defeat north of Guandu, which is the current northern desert area of Guligan Lake. The reason for the defeat was that the Beisha Empire intervened, and the dispatch of less than 100,000 people were hit by 300,000 people in Donghu so that they did not even have the power to fight back. Brother Chen thought about it, what is the strength of the Tianlang Army? And it was the strongest Tianlang Army in its heyday. Xuanjia warriors could be defeated and returned home. It is conceivable how strong the 100,000 troops in the Beisha!
"Uh? Didn't the Huns and Donghu Yihe retreated? The real reason was that the Tianlang Army was defeated? The Tianlang Army was defeated by less than 100,000 troops to defeat the Tianlang Army in its heyday. What cavalry did the Beisha use? How could it be so terrifying?" Chen Chuan said in confusion.
He nodded with Luo Dada, "It is impossible to win with the two clans with the urinary nature of Donghu. It is just for the sake of face. As for what cavalry is used in Beisha, as Brother Chen asked just now, it is a heavy cavalry stronger than the Tianlang Army. Moreover, there are only 10,000 cavalry cavalry among the 100,000 cavalrymen, but you should know that the Xuanjiao warriors of the Tianlang Army are nearly 20,000, and the light cavalry is twice as many as others. This can end up in a crushing defeat. According to Western merchants, the cavalry team of Beisha is called the armored cavalry silver warriors in them, with a total of up to 100,000 cavalry, and the legion code name is the Demon."
After hearing the words of Luo Dada, Chen Chuan felt a lot of emotion. Demon Legion? It’s really like the name of the battle. Is the two thousand ghosts and gods army of Anxi also such a cavalry? Yang Chengyu, Yang Chengyu, is really worthy of being a cavalry family. I’m afraid that building these two thousand ghosts and gods army will also take out the kid’s family’s assets? (Which one is fine? He owes a lot of money, it’s too late to get a huge sum of money.)
The question now is whether the Taishi Mansion can be built, what materials and war horses are needed, how to build them, how much does it cost, etc.
"Khan, can the grassland war horses build that kind of giant armored cavalry? Or what kind of war horses are suitable for building that kind of cavalry?"
I knew that Chen Chuan had this idea. The key was that this kind of cavalry had no ordinary high requirements for war horses, which was very, very high. The grassland war horses were small in size and were not suitable at all. Bei Liao had been trained in various ranches. His Uighur tribe was one of the cultivation bases. It was easy to introduce horse breeds. The problem was that when he arrived in the grassland, all the war horses generally lacked explosive power and had a large physique, but they were not as good as local horse breeds in the grassland. Later, the cultivation failed. In order not to pollute the grassland horse breeds, all the mixed blood horses were slaughtered as meat.
Since he took over the tribe, he has also studied this situation. In his opinion, it is related to the environment and climate, just like the water and soil are not suitable for the land. The water and grasses in the Gobi are not fat, and the few grasses are short and thin, the weather is dry and the wind and sand are strong. In such an environment, war horses are generally strong and brave. After being introduced to the prairie, the water and grass are rich, the climate is mild, and the environment changes personality. The same is true for war horses. They look like rebellious children in the Gobi, but when they go to the prairie, they become like weak scholars. This is not something that human power can change.
Indeed, sweat and blood are all hot-blooded horses, and it is not difficult to tame them with great energy. As a war horse, the more naughty the more you like, the more suitable it is. But when riding a carriage, it is a bit too good to see. Who can stand it if you are slightly stimulated and jump? Therefore, there are fewer pack horses in Anxi, and they use mares to ride. Most of them use carriages or camels to transport supplies to the desert.
Tong Luo Dada would definitely not hide it from him. No, it is not. "I won't hide it from Brother Chen, the grassland war horses are not suitable for building that kind of cavalry. They are too heavy, and the grassland war horses cannot be carried at all. Donghu's Xuan armored heavy cavalry can only be kept at 20,000 yuan when they pick the entire grassland. No matter how many there is, there is really no one."
Chen Chuan nodded, "Well! Can Khan be the cavalry instructor of my Grand Tutor's Mansion? Since there are only 50,000 war horses, then build 50,000 light cavalry initially. Just ask me for whatever you need. As for the official position, I will report to my father that the Northern Liao can appoint Khan as the commander of the Uighurs in Fengzhou (the commander of the military commander). I think that the position of Khan will never be lower than that of the military commander."
I bowed to Luo Dada and thanked him, "Well, Brother Chen, I wonder what Brother Chen has to consider about the ranch garrison issue?"
"Haha! The garrison of Huaiyuan City in Lingzhou came to take over Fengzhou City. Khan doesn't need to worry about this. Everything is carried by my Grand Tutor's Mansion. I will set off and continue to advance eastward after I understand the situation in Fengzhou tomorrow. However, I will send someone to send cavalry sources from Lingzhou. At that time, I will have to trouble Khan to help me worry."
"It's okay, it's just military preparation..., ah ha! Brother Chen, don't misunderstand, this training of cavalry is very expensive. My Uighur tribe is now in the situation. Brother Chen has also seen the situation. Donghu has blocked the equipment too hard, let alone light armor, even swords and guns are missing. Your Wei army is not used to using short bows, and I don't have crossbows or other things, right? That... um... there are heavy crossbows, after all, they need to be stationed! Can you..."
If you want to get military equipment from him, just say it! There are only 30,000 Uighurs, and you are afraid that you will rebel if you give it to you? No problem, I am not short of military equipment. There are 80,000 light crossbows, 5,000 heavy crossbows, 100,000 long spears, and 100,000 steel knives. How about 50,000 small black armor being allocated on this basis?
What else? Even if there is nothing else, just these 50,000 small black armors are enough to be happy with Luo Dada. How many Northern Liao troops can match small black armors? Most of them are mainly leather armor, and it would be strange if they are unhappy if they get 50,000 small black armors at a time. "It's enough, thank you Brother Chen for your understanding. If there is an enemy attack, my 30,000 Uighur army will definitely dare to fight the enemy."
Chen Chuan Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. Light crossbows and heavy crossbows are standard, and war knives and long spears are also standard. Small black armor is considered a high-end product (the armor is generally low due to the trouble of creating a war armor). But these are not important because the Northwest Army has more powerful equipment, three-bow bed crossbow and turret stone cannon, these two are the real killing weapons. The sky-shaking thunder cannot be copied yet. It's all because the bad guy's blockade technology is too strict, otherwise the Northwest Army would have to add a piece of powerful equipment.
The equipment of the Anxi Army is quite different from that of the inner region. There are many long spears in the mainland, but there are more spears in Anxi, and the steel knives in the mainland are mostly short-handled, while the Anxi Army is generally mainly based on long-handled*. In terms of light armor, those who do not have mail in the mainland of the Great Wei Dynasty are mainly small black armor or scale armor, while the Anxi Army is the only chain mail that uses rivets to connect. The impact force of the resistance of heavy weapons is worse than that of small black armor, and the rest are above the small black armor. Except for plate armor, heavy armor, those things are defensive.
The power of the control is abnormal. After damage, it will either be refilled or scrapped, and there is no way to repair it. At present, the only ones that can be equipped with plate armor in the Great Six are the Beisha Empire and Anxi. There are quite a few people equipped with the Great Xuan Heavy Armor, the Northern Liao Tianlang Army has 20,000 cavalry, the Northwest Army of the Great Wei, the Northwest Army of the Great Wei, and the East Xia Far East are 5,000 heavy cavalry. However, except for the Great Wei, the Three Kingdoms did not reduce the weight, and the East Xia and the North Liao both reduced the weight. There is no way, and the war horses cannot be carried at all without reducing the weight, and their ability to resist strikes is naturally much worse than that of the Golden Armor Army.
After all, the environment is different. Anxi is located in the West and has few cities. Although there is no need to climb mountains and wading, it is all expeditions, so the equipment must be mainly equipped with desert battlefields.
...
Chen Chuan provided armament for Tong Luodada, which was the most correct choice, otherwise Tong Luodada would not sincerely help him build cavalry. This pair of people resisted the Northern Huns and Rourans to go south later. If Tong Luodada had not helped him train 50,000 cavalry as the foundation, he would have probably been destroyed by the Northern Huns long ago. The pit dug by Wei Jingquan could not help but jump in, but there were both advantages and disadvantages, at least he had the cavalry and the Yellow River prairie he had always dreamed of.

Today, a colleague asked why the production of mild steel is still low after the blast furnace appears? What is the difference between the big black armor and the plate armor? Let’s talk about the first one first. I think there must be an improvement process after anything appears. When the blast furnace first appeared, there was no technology to produce mild steel in large quantities. As for the high production of mild steel in the Beisha Empire, the special case is that the Beisha iron smelting furnace improved by hundreds of years earlier than the Dawei, but the Dawei has not improved. Let me reveal the point in advance that the Emperor of Beisha can be the ultimate Boos because he is very big, and Shuchan’s grandmother also has a history. There is a big secret in this world that has not been revealed yet, and the pig’s feet will slowly move forward until the secret is revealed.^_^hehe! Because the pig’s feet have a big origin!
Let’s talk about the second one, the big Xuan armor is very different from the board armor. Let’s put it this way, the big Xuan armor that really does not lose weight is composed of many iron plates and steel plates. If the guard of the man and horses is heavier than the board armor, there are too many steel plates inlaid with grassland war horses and they will definitely not be able to carry them. How can the horses not run? If you lose weight, you need to remove a lot of iron plates. It’s good to protect important parts. If you change to thin iron plates or simply leather armor, the defense will definitely decrease, and the power will not be reduced much. The board armor is also very heavy, but it is a little lighter than the iron plate warriors who have not lost weight. For the protection of the man and horse harness, the total weight is between the unreduced weight and the big Xuan armor after the weight loss, which is probably equivalent to a strong version of the Mingguang armor. Of course, despite this, it is not driven by the grassland war horses, so the board armor cavalry has such high requirements for the war horses.
(I'm all nonsense. In reality, the armored cavalry has never been made of mild steel. The one that uses mild steel is the European Knights. I'll change it and change the Mingguang armor to another material. Haha! Don't mind, I don't think our heavy cavalry is not as good as the European Knights.)
Chapter completed!
