Murong Nan laughed and pointed to the two secondary weapon hooks in front of his saddle: "The ability to survive depends on these."
Liu Yu looked around and saw several weapons hanging on the two hooks. In addition to the saber he had just drawn, there were also two hammers more than four feet long. One was about six feet long, coiled together.
There is a rubber band on the saddle, and on the other side of the saddle, there is a quiver hanging with fifty long-stemmed wolf-tooth arrows.
Murong Nan drew his saber back into the scabbard, picked up a hammer, and swung it in the air a few times, vigorously saying: "Did you see that after charging into the formation, even if there is no sword in the hand, it still has a long sword in it?"
These sabers and hammers can still hit people. Some strong warriors simply hang a five or six-foot long mace and hit it with this thing, and their heads will be bruised."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "That's it. If you rush into the formation, it's not easy for the infantry to raise their spears and stab them randomly, because when people are close together and the distance is too close, they can often only pull out such weapons as waist knives, large axes, and short spears."
When it comes to bringing weapons to fight, your hammer is very handy. On the battlefield, if the sword is chipped or has a curled edge, these blunt instruments will not deform and can be used all the time."
Having said this, Liu Yu looked at the long rope and frowned: "Is this long rope used to tie prisoners? Isn't it too long? If you want to tie people, two feet is enough. No need.
About six feet."
Murong Nan smiled and picked up the long rope. Only then did Liu Yu realize that the end of the rope was actually tied with a one-foot-square ring. Murong Nan waved the long rope over his head, and the ring seemed to be on his head.
His head was spinning, and after a few swings, he suddenly threw it forward, and with a "pop" sound, he hit a wooden stake on the roadside. As soon as he exerted force with his hand, the wooden stake rose up by its roots.
He was brought out directly and dragged behind the horse.
After running for more than ten steps, Murong Nan ran back in a small circle: "Did you see it? This is called a lasso. It is not used to tie people up, but to lasso people and objects. The knight on the opponent's horse, the horse
The infantry under my command, given such a trick, and then pulled back, will be tied up for life. No matter how strong your martial arts is, if your hands and feet are tied, if you drag your horse, ten lives will be lost."
Liu Yu said with a smile: "It's easy to trap a wooden stake, but it's hard to trap someone. If we really want to fight each other, if you want to trap me, it won't be so convenient."
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Your martial arts are high, your reaction is quick, and it is not easy to trap, but other ordinary soldiers are hard to avoid. Besides, on the battlefield, there may be attacks from all directions. Even you, maybe when you are guarding against arrows, you may be too cold."
It will be trapped by one or several lassoes. Liu Yu, a veteran of hundreds of battles will sometimes stumble, so don't be overconfident."
Liu Yu secretly thought, if dozens of people tried to trap him on this battlefield, there would really be no way to defend him. Moreover, it seemed that in addition to being able to trap people, this horse trap could also be placed in front of the formation.
If the anti-cavalry props such as horse-repelling and antlers are used again like this, the defense in front of the formation will be completely ineffective. It seems that our Jin infantry has a way to defend, and the barbarians also have a way to break it.
Liu Yu nodded and turned to look at the quiver: "The quiver is easy to understand. You need to shoot on horseback. One quiver may be a little short."
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Of course, when fighting, you must have at least two, usually three, to ensure that you will not be missing bows and arrows during a battle. As for the big bow, it is naturally carried on your back, like now
.”
Liu Yu smiled and looked at the big bow on Murong Nan's back, which looked to be about four feet long, with a bow power of four stones and two buckets, and three strands of animal sinews: "Such a big bow, you have the strength to do it."
Are you going to shoot a hundred and fifty arrows? I'm afraid that if more than forty arrows fall, your strength will not be enough."
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "There is a skill in drawing a bow and firing an arrow on a horse. Sometimes you can use the momentum of the horse. Besides, we northerners have conquered the world by riding and shooting. We have been practicing this since we were young. Even women and children can do it.
They are all proficient in shooting. Usually on the battlefield, it is not strange to finish all three bags of arrows."
Liu Yu knew that he was not bragging, so he nodded and looked at the round wooden shield about two feet in diameter that he carried on his back: "This shield must be carried on your back. If you have a bow and arrow in your hand, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it."
Get off."
Murong Nan said sternly: "Yes, we have back shields and usually don't take them off. When your Han army arrays, they always hold shields in the front row and hold shields in the back row, forming a square formation like a turtle shell.
To protect against arrows, but when we northerners charge on horseback, we don’t line up in formation. We often lie on the back of the horse. In this way, when the arrow falls, it hits us in the back, so we have to rely on this big shield.
Come on guard."
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, no wonder I thought your equipment was weird at first, but when you said it, it was all prepared for combat. Just relying on this shield can block the sky.
A rain of arrows? Even if you can block it, how can your horse defend against the arrows?"
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Liu Yu, have you ever heard of armor and cavalry uniforms?"
Liu Yuqi said: "They are all equipped with armor and cavalry. They must be the world-famous cavalry of your Murong family. I have heard of it before, but I don't know what happened. Could it be that the horses are also wearing armor?"
Murong Nan nodded and pointed to his mount: "Yes, on the battlefield, it is not enough for people to be fully armed. Experienced soldiers know that shooting people first shoots horses, so they have to fight for a long time.
, Horses also need to wear armor. Our Murong family originated from Liaodong and is proficient in iron smelting. Over the past few hundred years, we have figured out a way to put armor on horses. This is called armor and riding uniforms."
"Our Murong family's standard horse armor consists of six parts: face curtain; chicken neck; breastplate; horse body armor; back piece; and parasitism. The "face curtain" is a long and narrow metal shield with a
The eye hole mainly protects the horse's face; the "chicken neck" is actually a pair of armor on the horse's neck, which is made up of armor pieces with buckles on the front; it serves as the chest; the horse's body armor; and the back is the horse's middle
The large piece of armor on the back; and the parasite is more distinctive, it is an upward-turned broom-like thing placed on the tail of the horse, and its purpose is to protect the back of the cavalry."
As Murong Nan spoke and gestured, Liu Yu nodded repeatedly and frowned gradually: "If we plan based on the armor we wear, this set of vests alone would probably weigh hundreds of kilograms."
, the horse itself has already carried a person weighing nearly 200 kilograms, can it still carry this vest? If it is a long-distance raid, how will it go in this suit?"
