Chapter 636 Making Weapons

"Yes, returning to the old capital of Luoyang can truly revitalize the Han Dynasty. It will also cut Cao Cao's power in two, making Chang'an and Yanzhou unable to communicate. (⊙﹏⊙⊙﹏⊙) But the problem is

"We don't have many troops at first. If we send generals to guard Hulao Pass, I'm afraid they may not have enough troops."

Liu Xie was also very moved, but he still had doubts.

"It's okay. Although we lost a lot in the attack on Xudu, the combat effectiveness of our field soldiers is also gradually taking shape. After Lu Su leaves, we still have 50,000 people. As long as Zhao Yun is sent to guard Hulao Pass, then

There is no problem.”

Liu Feng said with a smile.[

Having said this, Liu Feng paused and then said: "In addition to guarding Hulao Pass, our cities in the north. Xudu, Yingchuan, Wancheng, etc. all need sufficient food, otherwise it will be difficult for Cao Cao's cavalry to attack.

How long will the guard be here? This requires the mobilization of food from Xiangyang, Hanzhong, and Xinye. Tomorrow morning, I will ask my father to mobilize food, and I will also ask my father to agree."

"That's no problem."

Liu Xie agreed without hesitation.

"Besides this, I think we should form cavalry. I still have thousands of war horses and thousands of horses in Xinye. I can choose a good general to train into an army. Although I sharpen my guns in the field, it is better than nothing."

Finally, Liu Feng said.

"Just Dong Cheng." Liu Xie nodded and said.

The father and son have fully reached a consensus.

He sent Zhao Yun into Hulao Pass, mobilized grain from the south into Xudu, and ordered Dong Cheng to build up cavalry.

"However, the temporary cavalry has limited combat effectiveness. Should we also build a crossbow unit?" At the end, Liu Xie asked again.

"Although the crossbows are a powerful weapon against the cavalry, they have to wait for Cao Cao's army to attack them. Otherwise, the crossbows are of no use outside, so forget it. As for the temporary establishment of the cavalry, which has no combat effectiveness, Erchen

There are already countermeasures in place.”

Liu Feng said with confidence when he heard this.

As Liu Xie said, it takes at least one year for a cavalry to form a basic combat effectiveness and at least two or three years to become an elite. Some of Cao Cao's elite cavalry have even been established for more than ten years.

Just like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, that's it.

Although Liu Feng was sharpening his spear before the battle, he would lose his temper if he was not happy, but if he wanted to compete with the opponent's cavalry, he would have to come up with a unique strategy.

And Liu Feng did have a clever plan.

"Can this cavalry be accomplished quickly?" Liu Xie said with interest in his eyes.

"Yes." Liu Feng said with certainty.

Immediately, Liu Feng took out two pieces of Caihou paper from his sleeves, handed them to Liu Xie, and said with a smile: "This is a wonderful strategy."

"What is this?" Liu Xie reached out and took it, but he looked confused.[

On Cai Hou's paper, there were two sketches drawn. Liu Feng knew that they were stirrups and horseshoes, which were the basic equipment of the cavalry in later generations.

But now there is no such thing.

Liu Feng had already begun to consider and build these two things. But before, he had the materials but no war horses. Later, Liu Feng extorted a batch of war horses from Cao Cao and began to pay attention to them.

However, before manufacturing began, the Northern Expedition period entered.
