Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

The horses that are not used to the horseshoe hoist their heads up and gallop over the wilderness, while Ma Chao is not afraid.

Ma Jiawei shocked the West Liang, and Ma Chao has a quarter of the Qiang blood and is proficient in the art of imperial horses. I saw that his body was lying low on the horse's back, up and down with the bumps of the war horse, no matter how the war horse jumped up and down, it was still unable to throw Ma Chao off his body.

"Kneel down!"

Ma Chao suddenly yelled and used a thousand-jin falling technique. The whole body suddenly sank. The horse was heavy and couldn't help hissing, jumping up and down to get rid of Ma Chao, but it was useless.

In the end, the war horse suddenly stopped, probably tired, and finally served Ma Chao.

"Hmph, it's almost the same." Ma Chao laughed, and suddenly tightened the reins.

"drive!"

The horse under Ma Chao's crotch made a long hiss, and then galloped out, with four horse hooves trampled on the ground.

Ka! The hard horseshoe fell heavily on the ground, immediately crushing a scattered rubble into powder. After Ma Chao rode the horse gallop for a quarter of an hour, he turned a corner and ran towards Liu Ye and the others.

"Call~" Ma Chao pulled the reins, and the horse stopped.

"How about it, Meng Qi." Liu Ye asked, "How do you feel after installing the horseshoe?"

"It feels pretty good." Ma Chao laughed: "The horse seems to be more stable when it is galloping. It seems that this horseshoe is really a good thing."

Oh, it smells so good.

Liu Ye complained, but he was still quite satisfied with the horseshoe. The horseshoe has the effect of increasing the grip, so it is naturally more stable to run.

"Well, we need to increase production in the past few days and add horseshoes to as many horses as possible." Liu Ye turned to the middle-aged blacksmith and said, "Make as many horseshoes as possible in the past few days. I would try my best to make arrangements. The sergeant helped you install it. After the work is done, all the blacksmiths will reward two meters and ten stones and five pieces of silk and silk. Is there a problem?"

The middle-aged blacksmith heard that the reward was so generous, and he was overjoyed and said: "The general is kind, I will naturally have no problem, and I must make it with heart."

"Well, how many horseshoes do you estimate in three days?" Liu Ye asked.

The middle-aged blacksmith pondered for a while, and replied: "Report to the general. Now there are only dozens of blacksmiths in the camp. Even with full power, it is estimated that at most two thousand can be built."

"Two thousand, that's five hundred war horses." Liu Ye nodded, "That's enough."

"Okay, go down and build with your heart." Liu Ye ordered, "These five hundred war horses must choose the strongest war horse in the camp."

"promise."

Seeing dozens of blacksmiths engaged in enthusiastic work, Liu Ye nodded.

And Ma Dai, who had a calm personality, got together.

"Well, Zhong Hua, what's the matter?"

"General, Dai has some questions." Ma Dai reported: "This horseshoe is indeed a useful thing, and it is very helpful for improving the combat strength of our cavalry. However, does the general want to use this horseshoe to win the enemy?"

The other generals in the army also recovered from their excitement, and looked at Liu Ye with doubts.

This horseshoe was indeed successful, and it helped reduce horse wear and improve stability, but this kind of improvement was ultimately limited. It is naturally impossible to rely on horseshoes to defeat the enemy with only two thousand.

Liu Ye showed a confident smile: "Of course not."

Happiness!

Liu Ye clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Bring it here."

A long hissing sound of war horses suddenly sounded, and the generals Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Zhao Yun couldn't help looking at the direction of the sound source.

I saw that Guan Hai came over with a war horse, but this war horse surprised all the generals in the Liangzhou army and discussed with each other.

I saw that the horse that was held by Guan Hai was covered in armor from the horse's back to the abdomen. Even the horse's head was wrapped in the armor, with only two holes revealing two eyes. The armored war horse seemed to come out from the gate of hell, revealing a powerful force.

The armored war horse slapped its nose, raised its hooves and scratched the ground.

"This is?" Zhao Yun frowned. He had never seen such a war horse in Hebei for so long. Wouldn't it be too heavy to put on a war horse?

"Everyone." Liu Ye said, "During the Zhongping period, the first emperor had an optimistic military parade in Ping. You should all be aware of it?"

When the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, it swept across Bazhou, and it was huge. In order to quell the chaos as soon as possible, the Spirit Emperor ordered all localities to recruit troops on their own. After the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, in order to alleviate the inner anxiety, the emperor ordered to hold a military parade in Luoyang.

And Liu Ye, along with Huangfusong, Lu Zhi, General He Jin and others, participated in the Ping Optimistic Parade. Tens of thousands of Han Dynasty's northern troops lined up in formation, very mighty. The Northern Army was the central army of the Han Dynasty. Although the Emperor of Han Ling used the method of selling official porridge to enrich his money, he was very concerned about the construction of the Northern Army because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so his military capacity was mighty.

And what impressed Liu Ye the most was the one thousand armor and riding equipment.

It is the so-called... heavy cavalry!

Armored riding gear, that is, a war horse covered with armor. At that time, there were a thousand horses of armor and riding equipment lined up in a formation, and a thousand horses covered in armor stood motionless in place, which was in line with the essence of "not moving like a mountain" in the art of war. It really stood like a mountain. In place.

And when He Jin waved the flag and ordered a thousand-armored equipment to charge, Liu Ye was really excited and remembered.

boom!

Thousands of armor riding gear rushed out, like a moving mountain rushing on the earth, horseshoes trampled on the ground fiercely, rumbling like thunder. Rows of armored gears rushed in aggressively, seeming to tear all the obstacles in front of them into pieces, no matter what kind of army it is, they will be shattered into powder under the iron hoof of the armored gears. !

Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo had mastered all the soldiers and horses in Luoyang after he entered Beijing, but these thousand horse armors were not used, but were hidden in the Jinyong City of Luoyang. After Liu Ye knew that the Wuhuan Cavalry was coming, he thought about how to defeat the Wuhuan Cavalry.

After thinking about it, he hit his mind on the body of the armor and riding gear, so he almost wrote a letter, ordering Xun You to turn the horse armor out of Jin Yong city, and then send it to Yecheng by a clipper day and night.

The heavy cavalry is equivalent to the ancient tank, and it is much more flexible than the chariot of the Spring and Autumn Period.
