When the Han army's breastplate array began to activate, the Huns finally organized the first cavalry that could be used.
About three thousand horsemen marched out of the camp in a long queue.
Yi Zong held up his telescope and looked at the Hun cavalry.
Stirrups, saddles and bronze sabers are the standard equipment of this cavalry.
During the Battle of Gaoque, Yi Zong already knew that the Huns were using bronze to imitate the standard equipment of the Han army.
Sometimes, Yi Zong really wanted to send someone to tell the Huns that what you were doing was in vain!
Because bronze and steel are two completely different materials.
Also, bronze is too brittle!
Yi Zong once conducted an experiment himself, using two groups of soldiers to chop at each other with bronze sabers and iron knives.
As a result, even the saber forged with Qin's bronze technology had no advantage when faced with the thick iron long sword made by Han folk workshops.
If it were replaced with a military saber produced by Shaofu, then all bronze weapons would be dimmed.
Almost no bronze knife can stop the full force of the steel knife!
During the Battle of Mayi, the Huns' bronze collars and meteor hammers were easily cut off by the Han army's sabers.
Rivers of blood flowed from Zhelan people, and corpses littered the fields.
Now, these Huns still want to try?
Isn't this seeking death?
but……
The rancid odor and filthy stains on the weapons of this Huns cavalry made Yi Zong quite worried.
These things are much more deadly than the Huns themselves!
You know, it's summer, the season of high temperature and scorching heat for cooking.
Yi Zong was convinced that if he was accidentally injured by these weapons, once infected, the Han soldier would be almost hopeless.
This is also common sense among senior officers of the Han army after the military medical system became popularized.
Therefore, Yi Zong told his left and right: "Notify the breastplate, be careful of injury!"
For the Han cuirassiers, nowadays, every qualified cuirass is extremely precious.
Because even in the Han world, useful breastplate soldiers are rare.
Nationwide, there are at most only 100,000 young men aged 23 and above who can ride a horse and have military training experience who can be selected as cuirassiers.
You know, the current registered population of the Han Dynasty is as many as seven to eight million households, close to 60 million people!
The cream of the crop is exactly what a breastplate trooper looks like!
Not only are soldiers hard to come by, training is even more demanding.
The cuirassiers of the Han family were all selected from Liangjiazi.
Almost everyone has a certain amount of cultural knowledge and common sense in arithmetic. At the same time, they must have experienced more than one year of training in the army and can skillfully ride a war horse and control a variety of weapons before they can start wearing breastplates.
From putting on the breastplate for the first time to developing combat capability, it takes at least half a year of hard training.
During this process, nutrition, rest, and appropriate medicinal wine baths are all necessary.
If you include the cuirassier equipment and war horses, it is no exaggeration to say that every cuirassier is made of gold and five baht coins.
Yi Zong did not want these precious troops to be exchanged by the Huns using such ridiculous means here.
They are still young and their future will be unlimited!
…………………………
"The General of Chariots and Cavalry has an order: all the cuirass troops should be careful about injuries, and remember not to injure their muscles and bones by the Huns to prevent infection!" The messenger passed the order from the Chinese army to the cuirass officers of the Flying Fox Army.
"General Chariot and Cavalry is overthinking..." Wang Hui, the left commander of the Flying Fox Army Breastplate, smiled and tightened the leather armor on his shoulders and arms.
These are no ordinary leather armors.
Rather, it is leather armor that is peeled off from the roughest and toughest parts of giant beasts like whales and made from salt!
Its hardness is almost comparable to steel!
If this kind of leather armor were not too precious and rare, and could only be supplied to the breastplate troops, Wang Hui even felt that ten thousand light cavalry equipped with this kind of leather armor could single-handedly defeat the entire Huns cavalry!
However, since it was an order from a high-ranking officer, Wang Hui and Zhang Zheng, another captain of the breastplate, still replied: "Promise! I obey the general's order!"
Then, they turned around and told their subordinates: "The general has an order, all troops should be careful about injuries and avoid infection!"
"No!" the cuirassiers replied in a low voice.
However, most people are still in the tense state before the war.
There is no other way, it's just the first time the Flying Fox Army's breastplate array has been put into actual combat.
Moreover, most of the soldiers had never been on the battlefield before today.
Nervousness is naturally inevitable.
Under the masks, everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, and the hands holding the rifles were covered with sweat.
Fortunately, the lances of the cuirass troops have been redesigned. In order to avoid slippage and facilitate use, in addition to improving the gripping slots, the cavalry is also equipped with a pair of gloves specifically used to grasp the lances.
…………………………………………
At this moment, Yishi watched the three thousand cavalry that he had finally organized slowly drive out of the camp.
He was also nervous and sweating profusely.
These three thousand horses are all his men and horses.
They are the elite of his headquarters and one of his supports.
If the loss is here, then there is nothing.
However, he had to send them out.
"Your Majesty..." A slave climbed up to Yi Shi and reported: "It has been found out that the leader of the Han army is a relative of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, a general of cavalry and chariots of the Han Dynasty, and Dongchenghou Yizong!"
"Yi Zong!????" Yi Shi's eyes widened and his hands were shaking.
This is also a name that makes the Huns tremble and fear.
Since the Battle of Mayi, this Han Dynasty general and his army have become a nightmare for the entire Xiongnu.
The Huns hated and feared him, and their emotions were very complicated.
Now, this murderous god is actually here?
When did he come?
How could he be here?
Could it be that the people of the Han Dynasty had wings?
Almost at the same time, a nobleman ran up on horseback and reported: "Your Majesty, Xubu Danghu of the Xubu clan just now led his headquarters to break camp and ran towards Nuqi!"
"What?" Yi Shi stumbled and almost fell to the ground!
This time he marched, the military officials strengthened and gave him three thousand horses.
One of them is Wanqi from the Subu clan!
But now, he ran away without even saying hello?
What does he want to do?
Doesn't he know that this will cause an avalanche?
"Send someone to chase him immediately..." Yi Shi roared. Without the Wanqi of the Xubu clan, his strength instantly dropped by a quarter.
This is not the most fatal problem. The most fatal problem is that if the Xubu people run away, the Lan family may also run away.
Once the Lan clan and the Xubu clan ran away, only the headquarters of King Youguli, the Loufan slaves, and the Hunxie slaves were left, with a total of more than 10,000 and less than 20,000 troops. What could they use to fight the Han Dynasty? (
