Zhao Haiping and BMW looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.
How to ride without stirrups?
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but think of his experience in the third stage of the Soldier Trial Dungeon.
At that time, he acted as a deputy general, riding a horse to break through the blockade of Beidi barbarians, and went to move rescue troops in the wind and snow.
At that time, the horse he rode also had no stirrups.
This is not surprising, because the period when the Warrior Trial dungeon took place was the Chu Dynasty, and Qin Kaiyun’s dynasty was at the turn of the Chu and Wei Dynasties. As for things like stirrups, they were only officially invented in the middle and late Wei Dynasty.
Of course, if you think about it optimistically, although there are no stirrups in this era, at least there are saddles.
If you don't even have a saddle, the riding experience will be so sour and unimaginable.
As for why Zhao Haiping was able to pass the soldier trial without stirrups?
The reason is very simple. He had the talent of "Proficiency in Bow and Horse" at that time!
Without this talent, he would not have been able to break out of an encirclement on horseback. He would have won if he could not be knocked off his back by a war horse.
The innate skills of the Orderer are very magical. They can directly instill a very mature muscle memory into the player's body. Therefore, even if there were no stirrups at that time, Zhao Haiping directly mastered the skills of that era because of the relevant muscle memory.
Top riding skills.
For the top riders of that era, it was normal to not have stirrups.
So at that time, Zhao Haiping naturally ignored this issue and didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Of course, in the gameplay of the Orderer Expedition, some players captured the war horses of bandits and became addicted to cavalry. But that was because stirrups had long been popular in that era.
Now, the situation Zhao Haiping is facing can be said to be the square of difficulty.
He has neither the talent to be skilled in bowing or horse riding, nor the stirrups!
As one of the great inventions of the cold weapon age, the stirrup is obviously crucial to the cavalry. Its greatest role can be used in conjunction with the high bridge saddle to stabilize the force in the four directions of the front, rear, left and right, making it less likely to fall off the horse.
In the period before stirrups and high-bridge saddles, it was not uncommon for cavalry to fall off their horses during combat.
Of course, does it mean that the cavalry is useless without stirrups?
That's not the case either.
Before the invention of the stirrup, there were large-scale cavalry operations, and there were famous generals who were famous for their riding skills. Like many northern nomads, even without stirrups, they could still achieve the effect of integrating man and horse.
It's just that compared to the situation with stirrups, more effort is required.
Now, Zhao Haiping has neither the natural skills to improve his riding skills nor the stirrups.
So I was embarrassed.
"General?" The deputy general sat on the horse, a little confused.
Zhao Haiping had no choice but to bite the bullet, grab the saddle with both hands, and jump forward!
Unexpectedly, he sat firmly on the horse.
Zhao Haiping couldn't help but feel happy: "It's not bad, there was no overturning situation like I imagined.
"So, I am using the body of the famous general Qin Kaiyun?
"Then this is really awesome!"
The owner of Chi Ji is definitely one of the top military figures in ancient history, and his popularity is as good as that of the Overlord.
Zhao Haiping never expected that a mere copy of the Cavalry Trial could actually work for his old man.
But no matter what, this physical fitness is definitely enough.
Since he is Qin Kaiyun, he must have excellent riding skills.
It's just that the riding skills are still hidden in his muscle memory. Without Zhao Haiping's relevant talent skills, he can only activate them slowly.
"rush!'
Zhao Haiping flicked his horse's reins and led the generals to charge towards the enemy.
After only two steps, Zhao Haiping felt that something was wrong.
So weird! So insecure!
When the horse is running, with its feet dangling in the air, I always feel that I will be knocked down in the next second. Even if I hold on to the horse's reins, it is difficult.
What's more, he has to separate one hand to hold General Qin's weapon.
-Pole.
General Qin has two weapons, the spear and the Huanshou sword. The so-called spear is actually a very long spear, more than eight feet long, which is basically used on horseback. As for the Huanshou sword, it is an auxiliary weapon.
Wear it around your waist.
Holding the horse's rein with one hand and dangling his legs in the air, Zhao Haiping's biggest wish at this time is that he hopes his butt can grow suction cups and be firmly sucked on the horse's back.
Because every time I bumped and hung in the air, I felt like I was about to be separated from the horse.
Fortunately, he still had some muscle memory from passing the warrior test, and Zhao Haiping quickly recalled it.
His legs exerted force and clamped the horse's belly tightly, which stabilized his body a lot.
Compared with riding with stirrups, this kind of riding requires significantly higher physical exertion. But there is no way, people in this era ride like this.
Fortunately, Zhao Haiping is using Qin Kaiyun's body now. To say that he has extraordinary physical strength is to be modest. A more accurate word would be to call him a monster, but there is no physical problem at all.
The distance of less than ten kilometers is not that far in the distance of a war horse, but considering the problem of conserving the physical strength of a war horse, we cannot sprint with all our strength from the beginning, but approach at a canter.
It wasn't until the distance between the two sides reached about five kilometers, or about ten miles, that the enemy started to move.
Obviously, the enemy only noticed the surprise attack by Zhao Haiping and others at this time.
Zhao Haiping looked out from his horse and found that the enemy's formation had changed.
At the beginning, this force was obviously attacking the ferry with all its strength, but when it saw its own force coming to attack the rear army, it had already begun to change its formation.
From the previous inward siege formation to an outward field battle formation.
Zhao Haiping couldn't help being shocked when he saw this scene.
The other party's general is obviously not an ordinary person!
It stands to reason that our side should have every advantage when attacking the enemy's rear.
However, the enemy general reacted quickly and was able to command the troops to change their formation. This is enough to show that the opponent's general has a clear mind and the army is well-trained.
Because the formation changes on the real battlefield are definitely not like ordinary strategy games, which can be completed by pressing two buttons.
The entire formation change process is a great test of the army's training, organization and command capabilities. Only top generals can do this.
If you don't have that strength and you still have to play hard, there are only two results: one is that the formation directly collapses and the position is in chaos, the other is that it takes a long time and cannot be completed without a few hours.
Looking at the situation of the enemy at this time, the speed of the formation change was actually very fast. Although it is not perfect, it can still be regarded as neat and orderly.
There are flaws, but with the completion of the transformation, these flaws will gradually disappear.
Zhao Haiping subconsciously wanted to rush in faster.
However, he had just taken two steps forward when he heard the deputy general behind him yelling in horror: "General Qin! I can't keep up with Chi Ji's divine horse! Our army's formation is not in order. If the general is trapped in a tight siege, it will be difficult!"
When Zhao Haiping thought about it, it seemed reasonable?
If the enemy changes formation and loses its foothold, why should our own side do the same?
His war horse ran very fast, but at most only a few guards and lieutenants around him could keep up, and the others were probably left far behind.
If you rush into the enemy's formation like this, isn't it equivalent to getting nothing?
Even if the enemy's formation changes are not yet complete, what if they respond quickly and encircle them directly, and then it will be difficult for them to defeat four people with just two fists? What should we do?
It is better to play it safe.
Thinking of this, Zhao Haiping slowed down a little and waited for the generals and soldiers behind him to catch up.
The enemy's formation changed very quickly. Before the two armies fought, the change of formation was basically completed.
Zhao Haiping adapted quickly. After this charge, the riding skills he had learned with the "Arrow and Horse Proficiency" talent in the Martial Soldier Dungeon were gradually reviving. In addition, he was using the body of General Qin, and his whole body was full of energy. He was full of strength from top to bottom, so he was generally used to it when he came to the enemy's position.
He held the horse's belly tightly with his legs, held the sculpture in both hands, and stabbed an oncoming general!
It has to be said that General Qin's physical fitness is indeed at the top level. Zhao Haiping felt that he was so powerful at this moment. With the impact of the horse, he was invincible!
In fact, this is indeed the case.
The tip of the spear instantly pierced the general's armor and penetrated straight into his body.
And the spear in the general's hand didn't even have time to thrust out.
This is the advantage of being relatively long!
Zhao Haiping was very excited. Sure enough, his previous hard training was not in vain, and the skills of foot fighting can also be used in horse fighting to a certain extent.
In just one move, he killed an enemy general!
Although at first glance, this enemy general's status was not very high and his combat power was average, he was still killed.
But in the next moment, Zhao Haiping felt something was wrong.
While stabbing the enemy general, the two horses crossed each other. Zhao Haiping felt a strong reaction force coming from the horses in his hands. Although his legs were still trying to clamp the horse's belly, they were not working at all. He was unable to He leaned back under control, and then slid off Chiji! He fell to the ground with a "pop" sound, and loess flew into the air.
Zhao Haiping was thrown and was a little confused, with questions all over his face.
