This is Cao Cao's evaluation after watching the tiger and leopard riding drills. Another sentence is "Tiger riding on the mountain", which means that when the tiger riding on the charge, it is as unstoppable as riding on the mountain and across the sea.
.This is also in line with the nature of the Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Cavalry. Fundamentally speaking, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did not make a clear distinction when it was first established. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are basically a whole.
This has a great relationship with the environment Cao Cao was in at that time.
At that time, Cao Cao did not have much capital. Especially at the beginning of Jian'an, materials were extremely scarce and he was unable to carry out systematic training.
Even the cultivation of land in various places failed to improve the situation. Until Lu Bu was eliminated, Xuzhou ushered in a stage of great development and a great leap. After several years of painstaking efforts, the current Daxi situation was formed. Even in the Battle of Guandu,
At that time, Cao Cao did not deliberately distinguish between the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. There were very special historical reasons for this. According to the current classification, the Tiger Cavalry is a heavy cavalry, while the Leopard Cavalry is a light cavalry. There is a big difference between the two.
When the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was first established, it still followed the cavalry training model since the Han Dynasty. The necessary armored riding equipment for heavy cavalry had not yet appeared, and most of them were based on horse armor.
The horse armor from the late Eastern Han Dynasty is also known as "Dang Chest".
It is made of leather and is relatively simple. Even so, horse armor is extremely precious. Even during the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao's army only had ten horse armors, which shows how valuable they are. And Yuan Shao had tens of thousands of soldiers at that time.
, but there are only 300 complete horse armors. It is precisely for this reason that the heavy cavalry cannot appear, and the normal training mode is still used to practice tiger and leopard riding.
Until Cao Peng returned from Liangzhou guilty of his crime, he was three years old in Xingyang.
It was also by chance that he and Cao Zhen talked about armored riding equipment and suggested that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry be divided into two groups, the Leopard Cavalry and the Tiger Cavalry.
Driven by Cao Peng, at the beginning of the 10th year of Jian'an, Heyi Workshop produced the first set of armored riding equipment.
According to the memory of his previous life, Cao Peng divided the armored riding equipment into six parts: face curtain, chicken neck, chest, body armor, back and parasitism. Through Cao Zhen's relationship, Cao Peng suggested to Cao Chun that the armor should be divided into six parts.
The Tiger Cavalry formed a heavy cavalry force. After Cao Chun considered the suggestion and inspected the armored riding equipment made by a workshop across the river, he readily agreed and formally reported it to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao immediately began to separate the tiger and leopard cavalry for differentiated training.
In addition, Cao Peng opened the Hexi trade route, which brought horse-producing areas such as the Western Regions and Mobei. Especially the establishment of Shandan Ranch, Cao Cao no longer had to worry about horses. In this way, with the continuous flow of war horses from Hexi to the Central Plains
, and the environment under Cao Cao's rule has also undergone tremendous changes. A brand new unit, the heavy cavalry, was born two hundred years in advance in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty...
The Lu family surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and Cao Peng went to Xudu to die.
After observing the performance of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, he suggested to Cao Chun to change the training model for the Leopard Cavalry.
In the past, leopard cavalry mostly focused on mounted shooting. Nowadays, with saddles, stirrups and horseshoes, and light armor, more combat methods have been derived. For example, leopard cavalry still maintains the tradition of mounted archery, and is equipped with special
The saber gave birth to the prototype of the light cavalry in later generations.
The saber is made by covering the earth with the blade and burning it.
In terms of shape design, it slightly refers to the shape of the Damascus scimitar of later generations, which has stronger lethality.
The knife is 90 cm long, 4 cm wide, and has a short handle.
Cao Peng called it a hand knife. Once the Leopard Cavalry is in close contact with the opponent, the hand knife can produce huge lethality.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry began to reform in the 10th year since Jian'an. Elite soldiers were recruited from all over the country and trained in different categories.
After nearly two years of Tiger Cavalry's charge and Leopard Cavalry's mounted shooting, the brand new Tiger and Leopard Cavalry finally entered the stage of history in Jingzhou. Previously, even during the Battle of Youzhou, Cao Cao used
The original Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. But this time in Jingzhou, Cao Cao sent this re-formed Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with an undisguised intention of intimidation, in order to promote martial power.
When Yin Shi was let go, the sky was dark.
Liu Bei's army is in the most relaxed state.
The soldiers were exhausted after running around in the cold wind and rain all night. At this time, most of them were sleeping soundly. A few people barely cheered up when Zhao Yun was inspecting. But as soon as Zhao Yun left, these soldiers immediately
Changed back to its original appearance.
In the dark wilderness, the sound of rumbling hooves was heard.
Many soldiers widened their confused eyes and looked into the distance in confusion.
But most people failed to react. It wasn't until groups of cavalry rushed out of the darkness and approached quickly that anyone saw the situation clearly. Those cavalry were all tall and big horses, and the horses were equipped with chests and chests.
Face curtain. Knights on horseback, wearing black helmets and black armor, with black leopard-print masks on their faces. I saw them rushing forward, bending their bows and setting arrows easily on their horses, and the arrows were like rain...
"An enemy attack is an enemy attack!"
Only then did the soldiers react and let out shrill screams.
Cao Gong's arrow, made of a three-edged arrowhead, roared towards him. Several soldiers were instantly shot like hedgehogs and fell into a pool of blood.
"Cao Jun is here!"
The rear army was immediately in chaos.
Seeing the leopard cavalry roaring in, and about to rush into the military formation, they suddenly dispersed to both sides, and a black-armored heavy cavalry that many people had never seen appeared in sight. The tiger cavalry ranks high in the mountains! Cao Cao
Peng took the lead and led the heavily armed tiger cavalry to launch a swift and violent attack.
"Tiger Cavalry, raise your gun."
Following his order, two thousand tiger cavalry were divided into four teams, set up sharp spears, and rushed into the rebel army with a roar. The nearly four-meter-long spear fiercely penetrated into the enemy's chest,
They were knocked and flew away. Many soldiers were caught off guard and were hit hard by the galloping horses. It was as if they hit a moving wall. They flew out immediately, breaking their bones and tendons.
Heavy cavalry is definitely a first-class killer weapon in this era.
Many of the soldiers in Liu Bei's army were temporarily recruited farmers... Before this, they had never even been on the battlefield, let alone such a terrifying unit. As the tiger cavalry broke into the enemy's army, Liu Bei's camp
, suddenly it became a chaos... But after the Leopard Cavalry dispersed, there was no chaos. Instead, under the leadership of Pang De, he and the Tiger Cavalry broke into the rebel army. After being charged by the Tiger Cavalry, the soldiers had already
The situation was chaotic. The Leopard Rider took the opportunity to put away his bow and arrows, took out two kerosene jars filled with tung oil from his horseback pocket, and smashed them out. The jars of kerosene fell to the ground, and then there were
The fire sticks flew down and burned immediately.
Some fire oil cans fell directly into the bonfire lit by Liu Bei's soldiers and exploded immediately.
The flying pottery fragments caused people around the bonfire to be covered in bruises and fell to the ground screaming...
In less than a stick of incense, the Changban slopes were blazing with flames, and shouts of killing could not be heard. Liu Bei's troops were unable to organize effective resistance at all. Under the overwhelming charge of the tiger cavalry, they were quickly defeated and fled in all directions.
The ordinary people who came with them were even more frightened. They saw groups of devil-like knights rushing over and let out a series of screams.
Cao Peng took the lead.
The painted pole and halberd danced, raising heavy clouds of halberds.
Several enemy generals came forward on horseback, but they could not hold out for two or three rounds and were killed by Cao Peng.
"If the order is clear, follow the order."
After Cao Peng killed an enemy general, he met Pang De, who was coming towards him.
In the firelight, Pang De was filled with murderous intent, and his tiger-roaring knife was like the post of the King of Hell, killing the enemy soldiers into rivers of blood. Hearing Cao Peng's cry, Pang De was startled and immediately reacted. He remembered Cao Peng's previous exchange with him.
After being warned, he quickly agreed, turned the horse's head and left.
In the distance, a group of enemy troops roared towards them.
In the light of the fire, there was a general in the lead. He was about forty years old, but his temples were already gray. He was wearing armor and had a long sword in his hand. Under the light of the fire, he waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Don't panic, don't panic."
Panic... I am the commander of the army, Mi Zhu, and Cao's army is not large in number. If you want to stop them, follow me to stop them."
Mi Zhu?
Cao Peng narrowed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly under the mask, revealing a hint of coldness.
"Tiger Cavalry, charge!"
He roared loudly, and the liger under his crotch let out a long roar like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, and he rushed towards Mi Zhu with Cao Peng on his back. The archers who had gathered in a hurry, under the command of Mi Zhu, immediately opened their bows and fired arrows.
. However, facing Cao Peng, whose whole body was covered in iron armor, the whizzing arrows had no effect at all. Cao Peng danced his halberd, like a sharp arrow from the string, and rushed towards the enemy.
If you have the Tao, your troops will be brave.
The general is leading the way, how can those tiger knights who have gone through rigorous training fall behind?
Their mounts were all good horses from Dawan in the Western Regions sent from Shandan Racecourse. Although they were not as good as Cao Peng's ligers, their explosive power was far more powerful than ordinary cavalry. Just imagine, Cao Cao concentrated all his strength,
Cai Kankan trained three thousand tiger cavalry.
One thousand of them are now with Cao Cao.
The remaining two thousand tiger cavalry were concentrated on this small Changban slope.
The tiger cavalry was divided into four teams, each with only 500 people. The tiger cavalry knights who accompanied Cao Peng in the charge were only one team. But these 500 cavalry made many people feel inexplicable fear. The roaring warriors came
, with such a momentum that the sky was shattering, many soldiers screamed in fright, dropped their weapons and turned away. The arrows could not hurt the opponent, and once they rushed over, they would definitely die.
Mi Zhu didn't know where this strange cavalry army came from.
Everyone was wearing masks, and the general in front gave Mi Zhu an extremely absurd feeling.
Wearing a three-pronged golden crown with hair, Tang Ni treasure armor, a lion jade belt around his waist, a black cloak, and a painted halberd in his hand... except that the horse is a little different, it seems to be the rebirth of the tiger. Mi Zhu was in Xuzhou back then, but
There were many confrontations with Lu Bu. Lu Bu's outfit was so familiar! And countless fierce battles made Mi Zhu develop a deep fear of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu, alive again?
Mi Zhu was also startled by Cao Peng who rushed over first.
Fortunately, he was quite courageous and was not scared out of his wits... He drew his sword and shouted loudly: "Who will take the enemy general's head with me?"
"Mi Zhonglang, I would like to go to a certain family."
Before Mi Zhu finished speaking, a general rushed out from behind.
This man jumped off his horse and was about seven feet six inches tall. He dismounted his horse, had a gun in his hand, and rushed towards Cao Peng like the wind. Mi Zhu recognized the man, his name was Gou An, a native of Nanyang County. He was originally the gangster Zhang Wu.
His subordinates later defected to Liu Bei and even presented Zhang Wu's mount, Lu Ma.
This Gou An is also considered to be highly skilled in martial arts, but he has never had a chance to show it off.
Now Mi Zhu gave an order, and Gou An leapt on his horse, twisted his gun, and rushed out. He locked the stirrups with his feet, and his body was slightly bent on the horse, like a big bow. Just as he was about to rush to Cao Peng, Gou An suddenly roared,
He stood up, flicked the big gun in his hand, and stabbed Cao Peng with a roar. This shot can be said to have condensed the power of Gou's security department. It was as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder.
Unexpectedly, Cao Peng didn't even look at it. The painted pole and halberd drew a strange arc in mid-air, and struck the spine of Gou An's gun with a clang. A huge force came from the big gun, which only shook the body.
Gou An's two battalions were numb, the tiger's mouth was bursting, and blood was dripping. Gou An yelled that it was not good, abandoned his gun and rode away. But you have already arrived, how can you leave as expected? Cao Peng's halberd collapsed and opened Gou An's weapon.
, but with the other hand, he took out an iron meteor from his hip pocket, raised his hand and fired it, and it flew towards Gou An.
As soon as the iron meteor appeared, Mi Zhuke recognized Cao Peng.
He shouted, "Gouan, be careful!"
Gou An was urging his horse to run wildly when he suddenly heard the golden wind behind his head and heard the cry of Mi Zhu. He subconsciously looked back...
The iron meteor was just in front of him. Gou An was unable to dodge and was hit in the face by the iron meteor. The iron meteor in Cao Peng's hands now was very different from the iron meteor he used before. First of all, the weight had changed.
It's much heavier... When he was in Liangzhou, Cao Peng's Iron Meteor only weighed about one kilogram, but now it weighs two full kilograms. The volume has not changed, but the weight is much heavier.
After Cao Peng spent three years in Xingyang, his martial arts skills have become more mature.
This iron meteor flew out with a force of nearly a hundred kilograms. There was a popping sound, and the iron meteor hit Gou An's face hard, denting Gou An's face. Gou An was miserable.
With a cry, he fell from his horse and fell into the dust. The liger beast came roaring, and stepped hard on Gou An's chest with its iron hoofs, crushing Gou An's sternum. Then, five hundred tiger riders roared past, leaving only a puddle of rot on the ground.
Meat.
Gou An was killed with one move, making the already panic-stricken soldiers suddenly become even more panicked.
Although Mi Zhu tried his best to summon the soldiers, he saw the tiger cavalry getting closer and closer. The soldiers shouted in unison and turned away...
"Mi Zhonglang, the situation is over, leave quickly."
Several of his followers shouted loudly, and Mi Zhu helplessly looked at Cao Peng who was getting closer and closer, shouted, turned his horse and left.
His departure also made the situation even more chaotic. Four thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, plus Cao Peng's eight hundred personal followers, less than five thousand people, turned Changbanpo upside down, where more than ten thousand people gathered.
Mi Zhu hugged the horse's neck and walked away in embarrassment. The shouts of death behind him became increasingly blurred.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief and thought the danger was over, he suddenly heard the ringing of a horse's bell right in front of him...
Mi Zhu was so frightened that he shivered and immediately raised his head to watch!
