The cost of training a cavalryman is five times or more than that of an ordinary infantryman.
War horses, armor, weapons, and all the equipment are in complete sets, and the price is much higher than that of infantry. Not to mention anything else, just an excellent and qualified war horse can be sold for a sky-high price of twenty taels of silver.
.
Moreover, this is a strategic material for the grassland. Even just like some people smuggled Daqin's ironware to the grassland, some people took risks and smuggled grassland war horses into Daqin because of the huge profits. However, the quantity was too low to equip an army.
The risk and cost of the army were too high. Frankly speaking, the Qin court could not afford it.
It is not that Great Qin has not considered breeding war horse breeds, but due to the different environment, even the best war horse breeding in the grassland has much less plasticity than the same kind that grew up freely in the grassland.
All in all, various problems have always stalled the Qin Empire's cavalry career and are difficult to solve.
"Thirteenth Brother."
Li Chen stared at the battle formation below, turned slightly sideways and said to Huang Jitian without looking back: "Give me three thousand war horses."
Huang Jitian twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, how dare you say that.
Three thousand war horses is not a small number. Although he can get it, the problem is that this kind of thing has always been a strategic material and cannot be sold for money. If he releases three thousand horses, he will definitely be criticized when he returns home.
Seeing that Huang Jitian couldn't respond for a long time, Li Chen said: "I just helped you get rid of a serious problem in your heart."
Huang Jitian said depressingly: "It is true that I am not honest about this matter. I should at least give you a break in advance, but I did it on the spur of the moment and it was not a deliberate plan. I didn't have time to send you the news..."
"Don't talk about that."
Li Chen said: "Two thousand and five, the minimum."
"Two thousand is the most!" Huang Jitian gritted his teeth and said.
"make a deal."
Li Chen's cheerfulness made Huang Jitian's breath suffocate. He knew that he was being counted out by Li Chen again.
"You have already thought about this number, right!?" Huang Jitian said depressedly.
With a laugh, Li Chen said: "If you say that a house is too stuffy, airtight and light-proof, and you want to knock off the roof, then countless people will definitely come out to stop you. If you say so at this time, then open a
Windows will be more acceptable to everyone, right?"
After saying that, before Huang Jitian could get depressed, Li Chen waved his hand and said: "Let's go down and see the majesty of the Jin Army."
Looking at Li Chen's back, Huang Jitian hadn't finished being depressed. He turned around and saw Fu Chahuanzhen next to him with an expression of "I've heard it all." Huang Jitian suddenly became even more depressed.
Whether it is a thousand or two thousand horses, as long as it is given as a gift, it does not matter whether the number is more than a thousand or less. The challenge is for sure, it is just a matter of one sentence more and one sentence less. But what makes Huang Jitian depressed is that he was
Li Chen's meticulous performance will inevitably be known to his father in the country through Fucha Huanzhen... This is not a good thing.
When Li Chen was reviewing the Jin army in the military camp, the pursuing Liao army had just wiped out a small group of Qin troops eighty miles away.
"Prince, our army has won another great victory in this battle. The Qin army is in ruins. Their morale and equipment have been unable to keep up. They were completely wiped out by us without even launching any decent resistance."
A general's voice was as loud as a bell, but when he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yelu Shenxuan's praise. Instead, he saw a face that looked like a dead mother.
