Chinese army camp.

At this moment, Han Xin also looked confused.

Due to the lack of experience in cavalry combat in the Xia Dynasty, Han Xin wrote to the king a few months ago, hoping to convene some talented generals to jointly study cavalry combat tactics.

Han Xin quickly received a reply from the court, and he was planning and acting according to the plan. It only contained these eight short words.

However, Han Xin did not expect that a few months later, the imperial court directly sent him a batch of equipment that he could not understand.

He can understand both light cavalry and heavy cavalry. If he doesn't understand this anymore, he will no longer be a general.

"General, this is the main battle weapon of the cavalry. It is called the Huanshou Dao, which means there is a ring at the head of the handle, where a rope can be tied..." A craftsman from Luoyang explained in person.

Naturally, the new equipment cannot just change the shape and material. The most important thing is that its purpose has also been changed a lot.

The craftsman quickly took out a rope, folded the rope in half, and put it on the iron ring.

Then hold the knife with one hand, and pick up the rope with the other hand and wrap it around the wrist, tightly integrating the entire hand with the knife.

If there is only one section left, insert it directly through the gap. You only need normal force to hold it down with your palms.

After the demonstration, the craftsman continued: "This object can connect the weapon to the hand and will not fall off easily when riding a horse. If there is any problem, just let go and shake the knife a few times to detach it from the hand."

"Good stuff!" After seeing this first weapon, Han Xin immediately realized the benefits of this weapon.

Then I took it over and experienced it myself.

With the iron ring on the handle as a connection, even if you loosen your hand occasionally, the knife will not fall off.

As for the idea that someone who is not as strong as a human sword would be knocked away on the battlefield, it is even more impossible now that we have this rope.

The blade has a slight curvature, which is not very large.

Han Xin slashed at the air with a sharp knife. The weight of the blade was particularly noticeable. Coupled with the iron weapon, it was so sharp that the air couldn't help but scream.

Although the blade was heavier, Han Xin felt that he seemed to be using less energy than before.

After putting down the Huanshou Sword, Han Xin turned his attention to the second weapon.

This big thing, which is three meters long, seems to have a sword mounted on the top, which is about fifty centimeters long. At the end is a very sharp iron thorn that is polished, about ten centimeters long, and the one in the middle is

Two and a half meters is the gun body.

After the craftsman's explanation, Han Xin finally understood the use of this thing.

A dual-purpose carbine for light and heavy cavalry.

Although the style is the same, there is a lot of mystery inside.

The total weight of the light cavalry's carbine was twenty-three kilograms, which in later generations would only be about ten kilograms.

This little bit of iron makes a weapon, and it is a three-meter-long weapon. No matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like a shoddy project.

However, this is not the case. The carbine used by the light cavalry has no problem with the knife on the head and the stab on the tail. However, the middle of the gun body is covered with a layer of iron on the outside, which is about three millimeters thick.

Of course, just using a hollow one wouldn't work, so the craftsman added a piece of harder and stronger wood in the middle to increase the strength of the gun body.

The difference between heavy cavalry and light cavalry is here. There are two more kilograms of iron material, and the thickness of the gun body has also become five millimeters. Apart from this difference, everything else is the same.

Finally, Han Xin set his sights on the last weapon, which also made him feel most confused and puzzled.

The length is the same as the carbine, three meters.

But the length of the blade only occupies two meters, and the handle only occupies one meter.

And this should be considered a real knife, because it only has a single edge, and the thickness of the back of the knife makes people feel scalp numb just looking at it.

The craftsman pointed at this strange-looking knife and said: "This knife is called Zhanma Dao. It weighs forty-two kilograms. It is made of the best iron material in the Han Dynasty. The whole body is made of iron material. The user needs to carefully select it."

, must be tall, strong, and strong. In addition to being more laborious to use, this sword can easily cut off a horse's legs. A soldier of the Imperial Army who has used it said that it only took 50% to 60% of the strength to cut off a person in the middle.

, if it is done from top to bottom and goes all out, it can split a person in half."

Han Xin was dumbfounded. Is this guy so strong?

However, the craftsman smiled slightly, as if to say, where is this?

Then he continued: "We have tried any kind of armor that the big man currently has, whether it is plate armor or scale armor, it is filled with meat and bones. We cut it off at the waist. After trying it a hundred times, the internal bones broke hundreds of times, and the plate

Try the armor a hundred times. If it is cut to the front, it will break a hundred times. If it is cut to the side, the number of bone fractures will not be that many, but it will leave serious injuries on the waist..."

What a girl...

With this thing, the armor has become a supporting role?

The most important thing is that the costume of this supporting character is uncomfortable and affects the sensitivity.

No matter what you do, you will die anyway, so you might as well be more flexible without wearing armor.

Maybe you can even get away with your coquettish moves.

Han Xin subconsciously stepped forward and picked up the sword.

It’s a valuable purchase. The weather in autumn is not too cold, but you can still feel the cold atmosphere.

Lifting it with one hand, even Han Xin found it a bit difficult.

As for fighting, that is even more impossible.

"It's so heavy and it's wearing armor. I'm afraid the war horse won't be able to bear it, right?" Han Xin asked doubtfully.

At this time, the captain of the imperial army who was in charge of escorting the people waved his hand to everyone.

This part of the secret is in his hands, and even the craftsmen who built it don't know where it will be used.

Anyway, they had been shocked several times when they were in Luoyang.

And the handle of the knife is also engraved with their names and units, so, hehe...

Not just these, all new weapons have steel stamps on them.

"General, this is infantry equipment." the captain said.

"Infantry equipment?" Han Xin was stunned for a moment, as if he was saying, are you kidding me?

I have 50,000 cavalry here, can you get me infantry equipment?

What do you mean, you ask me to dismount and engage in foot combat with the Huns?

However, the captain ignored Han Xin's doubts and continued: "Your Majesty began to consider this matter after receiving the general's letter, and then he came up with this weapon. Later, after some experiments, soldiers equipped with swords and swords needed to wear scales.

A, only in this way can we ensure maximum flexibility while ensuring protection."

As he said that, he took out another piece of paper sandwiched between hard boards. It was small and slightly yellow.

"This is a formation diagram drawn by His Majesty himself. The general can keep it, but he needs to give the subordinate a receipt according to this number."

Han Xin nodded and then focused on the formation chart.

Wang Buxu's painting skills are very funny. Don't expect him to paint lifelike pictures.

A rectangle is at the top with several words written on it, three or five rows of swordsmen, and behind it is another rectangle with the words "Archers".

Then, a third rectangle appeared. This rectangle was slightly larger and had a few words written inside. It was up to you to decide.

Then comes the fourth rectangle, infantry or cavalry.

Then there are two rows of rectangles on the left and right sides. The ones closest to the formation are written with archers, and the outermost ones on both sides are called cavalry.

Of course, Wang Buxu didn't forget to give this formation a name, the Front Arrow Formation.

Looking at this abstract drawing, Han Xin looked at the Forbidden Army Colonel in confusion.

It seems to be saying that even if I am a genius, if I get such a formation diagram, I still have to go through several actual battles to practice how to use it.

By the way, have you gone too far?

But he didn't dare to say this, so he could only ask depressedly: "Does your Majesty have any other explanations?"
Chapter completed!
