Chapter 171 Heavy Armored Cavalry

King Lin Hu's reaction was very fast.

In fact, King Lin Hu was forced to do so. Since Lou Furen got the double-edged swords, he has been constantly raiding the pastures of the Lin Hu tribe, and at the same time unscrupulously plundering the cattle, sheep and livestock of the Lin Hu people. King Lin Hu suspected that if the people from the Central Plains were still in Jiuyuan, King Lou Furen might have already launched a large army to attack the Lin Hu tribe.

Therefore, the Linhu tribe could not afford to wait and had to trade weapons that could protect themselves from the Central Plains people as soon as possible.

The next afternoon, King Hu of Lin led 5,000 cavalry to Jiuyuan with more than 300 miles. With more than 220 BMWs with shoulder heights of more than 8 feet and 2,400 good horses with shoulder heights of more than 7 feet. For this transaction, King Hu of Lin Hu of Lin was really willing to spend all the good horses in the tribe.

Of course, King Lin Hu believes that this transaction is worth the money. For the Lin Hu tribe, BMW and good horses are easy to obtain, but the chuáng crossbow with amazing lethality is very rare. With these sharp weapons, the Lin Hu tribe is still afraid that it cannot defend the clouds? As long as it guards the Yunzhong grassland, it is still afraid that it cannot breed more good horses. BMW?

After the transaction was completed, King Hu of Lin transported away five hundred chuáng crossbows and fifty catapults overnight.

In order to keep it a secret, King Hu of Lin even refused Xiang Zhuang's kindness to send troops to escort him. He probably wouldn't go the same way when he returned to Yunzhong, so as not to intercept Lou halfway.

Let’s not talk about Lin Hu people returning to Yunzhong overnight, and then talk about Chu army.

The two thousand four hundred good horses were quickly divided. This time, Xiang Zhuang made a speech and each army divided six hundred.

However, more than 220 BMWs were kept by Xiang Zhuang. Looking at the group of BMWs with shoulder heights of more than eight feet and almost the same size as black horses, Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but hesitate. He now has two choices. One is to distribute this batch of BMWs to the generals and schools of each army as mounts, and the other is to use this batch of BMWs to form a real heavy armored iron cavalry!

Xiang Zhuang was originally planning to form heavy cavalry with a seven-foot-high shoulder, but it turned out not to do so.

The weight-bearing force of a good horse with a shoulder height of seven feet is enough, but after being covered with heavy armor and cavalry holding a rifle, the speed cannot be increased at all. What is really intimidating about heavy cavalry is its unstoppable impact. Once the speed cannot be increased, the heavy cavalry is just a decoration. Any light soldier can easily kill the heavy cavalry armed to the teeth.

However, this batch of BMWs is eight feet tall, with a larger body and more powerful force. Even if they carry 500 kilograms, they will never be unable to speed up. The number is too small, and the number of two hundred heavy armored iron cavalry is still too small. At most, they can only be used as a tactical strike force, and it is difficult to become a strategic force that controls the outcome of the battle.

Wei Liao didn't know what Xiang Zhuang was thinking, and asked immediately: "General, how to deal with these BMWs?"

Wei Liao was not like Xiang Zhuang who came here through time, so it is naturally impossible to know what heavy cavalry is. You must know that even stirrups and high bridge saddles have just appeared in this era, and horseshoes are still far from the time they appear, so cavalry is only an auxiliary army, so how can heavy cavalry appear?

Xiang Zhuang said: "Military advisor, I want to select more than 200 tall and strong and superb riding sharp soldiers from the army, so that they can put on the strongest iron armor, hold the sharpest spear, and then ride on the BMW, which is also heavily armored. As a force used to crush the enemy's defensive formation, what do you think?"

Wei Liao said sternly: "A cavalry like this should have amazing lethality!"

In military terms, many things are interconnected, so although Wei Liao had never heard of it, and had never seen a heavy cavalry, Xiang Zhuang just said that, and immediately realized the huge lethality of the heavy cavalry.

Xiang Zhuang nodded and said, "The lethality is more than just amazing? It's simply invincible!"

"What are the generals hesitating about?" Wei Liao said, "Hurry up such a cavalry."

Xiang Zhuang sighed: "But the problem is, there are not enough Ruiz who are skilled in the army."

Like Pang Yu, Gao Chu, Yuyuan, Baili Mao, Xiao Kai and others, they are all tall and strong and have excellent riding skills. But they can't be transferred to be heavy cavalry, so no one will lead the troops.

Wei Liao stroked his long beard under his chin and suddenly said, "General, I don't know whether to say it or not?"

Xiang Zhuang slapped his hands and said, "Military advisor, what else can you and me have to worry about? Just say it if you have something to say."

"Then I'll just say it." Wei Liao nodded and said, "It's difficult to pick out two hundred tall, strong and superb riding skills from our 20,000 soldiers, but the General had thought that almost all the five thousand Qin soldiers in Jiuyuan City met the conditions of the General, and almost no need to choose any!"

Xiang Zhuang frowned and said, "The problem is, where does Méng Wu want to return to Chu?"

Wei Liao whispered: "Méng Wu-Ying is unwilling to return to Chu because he does not want to betray the family tradition of the Méng family and does not want to betray the Ying family. If the General marrys Princess Yingzhen, then the Ying family and the Xiang family will become a family. If the Méng Wu-Ying, he must protect the Xiang family. Then the five thousand Qin iron cavalry in Jiuyuan City will be all over the General."

Xiang Zhuang said: "But in this way, the 30,000 young and old children in Jiuyuan City must be taken away."

Wei Liao stopped talking. This was indeed a very realistic problem. The five thousand Qin Iron Cavalry in Jiuyuan City was indeed a jealous force, but the 30,000 young and young are indeed a burden. You can't just take away the five thousand Qin Iron Cavalry and throw their wives, children, and young people in Jiuyuan without caring, right?

After a while, Wei Liao said, "If the general intends to marry Princess Yingzhen, I am willing to go and talk about my love. And I dare to make sure that this marriage will be accomplished."

After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Zhuang shook his head and said, "I'll talk about this later."

Wei Liao sighed, and I won’t say anything more. He knew that Xiang Zhuang was a very decisive person. Xiang Zhuang said this, and most of them had already seen that Princess Yingzhen was a very scheming and ambitious person, so she was most likely unwilling to provoke her. It seems that whether this marriage can be accomplished depends on whether Ying Zhen can touch Wei Yue.

When Xiangzhuang returned to his tent after inspecting the baggage camp, it was already dark.

In the baggage camp, the craftsmen were busy rushing to make high-bridge saddles and wooden stirrups, while the father and daughter of the bus were busy fiddling with the crossbow designed by Xiangzhuang. The bus was worthy of being a master-level craftsman. In less than two days, they had already made a crossbow. When the blacksmith polished the iron arrows tomorrow, they could carry out the first test shot.

"Husband, are you back?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wei Yue lifted the curtain.

Since the hunting that day, the relationship between Xiang Zhuang and Wei Yue has improved significantly.

Xiang Zhuang smiled. He was born because of killing (traveling time) and might die in the future. But this does not mean that he doesn't like the warmth of home. Xiang Zhuang is bloodthirsty, cruel, cold, and heart-hearted, but this does not mean that he doesn't like the love between men and women. In fact, Xiang Zhuang also enjoys the love between men and women.

Xiang Zhuang took off his armor and took off his boots under Wei Yue's suit.

As soon as he sat down on the mat, Wei Yue brought a large pot of mutton soup and said softly: "Husband, eat it."

Since he arrived in Hetao, the Chu army has eaten meat every day, and Xiangzhuang has become a little tired of it. However, this mutton soup was made by Wei Yue, so it is a different matter. He happily took it and started eating it. Wei Yue picked up a piece of dough cake from the side, carefully pulled it into small pieces, and then put it into Xiangzhuang's mutton soup one by one.

Xiang Zhuang thought, this is probably the earliest mutton soaking bun?

Seeing that Xiangzhuang was eating so hard, Wei Yue said happily: "Husband, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, it's really delicious." Xiang Zhuang smiled and nodded, but tears were shedding in his heart. It's really untasting. It's salty and smelly. There are several pieces of mutton with blood, but can you say this?

But Wei Yue suddenly thought of Ying Zhen and sighed: "Sister Shiman is so pitiful."

"Sister Shiman?" Xiang Zhuang asked in surprise, "Who is Shiman? Why do you have a sister?"

Wei Yue said: "It's Princess Yingzhen. Shiman is the word "Zheng" given to her by the First Emperor in the year she and the first emperor."

"Why?" Xiang Zhuang was a little bored and said lightly, "Okay, why did you suddenly mention her?"

"It's nothing, I just think she's a little pitiful." Wei Yue shook her head and said in a faint voice, "When we leave, she will probably still be annoying to marry Lou because of the safety of the old Qin people."

"Lou annoying?" Xiang Zhuang said, "Let's do it, I will kill Lou annoying another day!"

"Ah?!" Wei Yue was shocked when she heard this. She didn't expect that she could decide the life and death of more than 100,000 people in the Loufan tribe in just one sentence. She immediately said anxiously, "Husband, Yue Niang doesn't mean this, it really doesn't mean this. You must not kill people because of Yue Niang, okay? Please, husband..."

"Silly girl." Xiang Zhuang thought to himself that this little girl was really simple and kind. He weighed Wei Yue's little nose and smiled, "Look, you're so anxious, I'm just teasing you for your husband."

Wei Yue then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Husband, can we take away the old Qin people from Jiuyuan?" Wei Yue thought that if the Chu army could take away all the old Qin people from Jiuyuan, Ying Zhen would have no worries and would not have to sacrifice himself to marry the Hu people.

Xiang Zhuang couldn't help but look at Wei Yue, but Wei Yue's eyes were still clear and there was no flashing because of Xiang Zhuang's gaze. Xiang Zhuang sighed and said, "Yue Niang, tell you the truth. I really want the 5,000 Qin Iron Cavalry in Jiuyuan City, but we really can't take the 30,000 young and young people in the city."

Wei Yue seemed to want to argue, but Xiang Zhuang stretched out a finger and gently covered her little mouth.
