There is no way, the Yueshi are not a wealthy family, and it is impossible for everyone to have an iron sword.

Their weapons are mostly made of copper knives.

After all, copper has a lower boiling point than iron and is easier to smelt. The entire human civilization has taken advantage of this fact.

Therefore, in this era, bronze wares were far more popular than iron wares.

The weapons of the Yuezhi people are naturally mostly made of bronze.

Even some soldiers at the bottom are still using the simplest stone knives.

"I'm...broken..."

When Salvin saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched violently.

The thickness and protective power of this armor are indeed not fake!

"How about it?"

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "Guys, if the armor on this Da Qin soldier can be used in a war, can it be of some use?"

"Oh, Da Qin deserves to be Da Qin!"

After hearing this, Sakya quickly said, "With such sharp blades and such armor, the soldiers and horses of Great Qin must be invincible and omniscient!"

That's right, this weapon is so sharp, they naturally can't resist it.

This armor's protective power is so great that they can't even cut through it, so how can they fight?

Momadi, the attack power is not as high as others, the defense power is not as strong as others, this person is not as strong as others!

How to fight this?

This game is unplayable!

"hehe……"

Feng Zheng laughed and said, "It's okay, it's okay... Come on, Yingbu, you continue to practice. The eldest prince, let's continue to look forward."

"promise!"

"well……"

After hearing this, Sakya put away his shock, calmed down, followed Feng Zheng, and continued walking forward.

"Huo!"

Tread...

Ahead, in the next training ground, horses neighed.

kindness?

Could it be that there are cavalry here?

Hearing the faint sound of horses neighing, many Yuezhi people were shocked.

As nomadic people, they are very familiar with the sound of horses, whether it is their braying or the sound of their hooves.

"Huo!"

"Huo!"

Tap tap tap!

Tread!

Everyone came to the front of the training ground and were shocked again when they saw the scene in front of them!

Good guy, what is this?

I saw that these horses were indeed real horses.

However, there is something special about them.

It's like wearing a layer of armor. When viewed from the front, only the eyes on both sides are exposed.

This is……

Seeing this scene, many Yuezhi people felt their hearts beat again.

Is this horse armor?

No, right?

Do the horses have armor?

Da Qin isn't that awesome, right?

"Master Hou is here!"

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

Seeing Feng Zheng and his people arriving, Zhang Han immediately asked people to stop.

"Well, I'll bring the Yuezhi delegation to observe and observe."

Feng Zheng raised his hand and said, "Zhang Han, tell the foreign guests, what are you training for?"

"promise."

Zhang Han nodded and said, "General, this is training cavalry."

Training cavalry?

When Sakya saw this, he couldn't help but pointed out carefully, "Master Marquis, this, could it be that these horses are also..."

"Oh, it's armor."

Feng Zheng laughed and said lightly, "This cavalry fights with horses charging into battle. If the horses are gone, the cavalry will not be able to fight, right? Therefore, I, Da Qin, have also equipped many war horses with armor.

"

Yes, the thing on this horse is indeed armor.

This layer of armor can provide good protection during combat.

Don't even think about piercing a horse with ordinary weapons.

The person is with the horse, and the person is protected by armor, and the horse is also protected. When charging into battle, you won't be too worried about the other party hurting you.

In this way, you can fight with peace of mind.

Moreover, in addition to the armor on the horses, if the soldiers' weapons are mainly spears, they will also be equipped with a well-sized shield as a key cover and defense.

Soldiers and horses equipped with this kind of equipment have a special name.

It's called heavy cavalry.

Heavy cavalry can be regarded as a major improvement in the history of cavalry, or in other words, a qualitative improvement.

Because such an army is extremely fleshy!

If they were fighting in battle, others would not be able to hurt them easily. Swords could not cut and swords could not penetrate. Instead, they could only be attacked and killed by them. How could we fight this battle?

Of course, the real heavy cavalry's advantage lies in the word "heavy", and its disadvantage also lies in the word "heavy".

Heavy means both thick and bulky.

This armor of a man and horse, plus the weapon is a spear, and a shield, how heavy is it?

First of all, it is a big challenge to the physical strength of the cavalry.

Secondly, it is even more of a challenge to its endurance.

It's one thing that they can't get in, but it's also another thing that you can't have enough strength to fight continuously, and it's clumsy in fighting.

so!

Based on this, Feng Zheng did not completely shape these cavalry into heavy cavalry.

After all, Great Qin's cavalry will definitely go north to fight on the grasslands in the future.

The opponents they faced were the Xiongnu, Donghu and other forces in the grassland.

The significance of Da Qin's cavalry is to improve and make up for Da Qin's lack of mobility.

So, it’s so heavy and still has the mobility of a hammer?

Of course there is none!

Therefore, the armor worn by Da Qin's cavalry and war horses was not full-body, but half-body, mainly the front half.

After all, when cavalry fights hard, there are only cavalry who charge forward, and there are no cavalry who turn around and fight back.

If you only care for the horse's head, that's almost it.

In this way, a lot of the weight of the horse can be reduced, and the restriction on mobility is not that great.

This kind of cavalry actually has a professional name, called armored cavalry.

In the current era of Great Qin, having armored cavalry is actually enough.

It is not a battle on the plains, let alone a flat push, so there is no need to bring out heavy cavalry.
