Chapter 1021 Heavy Infantry
The biggest enemy of the Qin Empire was the northern nomadic people, and the biggest weapon of the nomadic people was the cavalry.
In order to deal with the cavalry of the nomadic peoples in the north, the Qin Empire not only vigorously developed its own cavalry, but also developed some methods to deal with cavalry.
For example, heavy infantry is a special type of army upgraded from ordinary infantry and specialized in dealing with cavalry.
Heavy infantry has extremely strict requirements on the quality of soldiers. In the Qin Empire, where the average height is less than 1.7 meters, every soldier who wants to enter the heavy infantry battalion must be more than 1.73 meters tall and cannot be less than 140 kilograms.
.
If not, they could not wear a full-coverage metal armor weighing 60 kilograms and a black iron shield weighing 80 kilograms.
In addition to weapons such as swords and other configurations, a soldier's armed movement bears at least 160 kilograms.
Such a military group is naturally a giant beast of gold swallowing. On average, the imperial court would spend thirty taels of silver on them a year, and this money was enough to raise ten times the number of ordinary infantry.
However, the power of high requirements and high costs is its corresponding power.
Its bulkiness determines that it has almost no maneuverability, but in defensive counterattacks and inland urban street fighting, it is even stronger than the most precious heavy cavalry.
In the street, the heavy infantry were covered with armor, which made them almost invulnerable to their swords and guns except for their exposed eyes. The heavy bodies made them move as long as they moved, and even didn't need to use weapons. If they hit the enemy, they would be enough to crush the opponent.
As the most important military force to defend the capital, the Yulin Guard is unique in the world, regardless of its configuration or warrior qualities.
At this time, a charge was launched on the street, and almost as soon as they met, they had already dispersed the rebels.
The attack method of heavy infantry is also simple and rough. Relying on his armor, he is invulnerable to the enemy's attack, and then he will rush forward with the enemy's attack. After getting close, he will knock the enemy over, and then draw a knife and kill the enemy.
Simple, but effective.
Moreover, this kind of arbitrary attack with one force to reduce ten will bring huge mental pressure to the enemy.
Lou Fuchen had red eyes and his face was covered in blood. He had his own eyes but more of them were his own.
He raised the long sword in his hand and slashed the head of a heavy infantry soldier in front of him, but the other party did not dodge or avoid it, allowing the knife to be cut off.
"Clang!"
Mars flew everywhere, and a broken knife soared into the sky and took off and went far away.
Lu Fuchen stared blankly at the broken knife in his hand, and then looked at the other party's helmet that was not deep or shallow, and his eyes were full of despair.
Similar situations have been happening everywhere.
Loufuchen knew that this would never go on, but before he could call for retreat, three heavy infantry surrounded him, like three mecha warriors who should not exist in this era, and the steel bulls hit Loufuchen like a bull.
The weight of the soldiers plus the weight of equipment, the overall weight of each heavy infantry exceeded 300 kilograms, and the three soldiers collided from three different angles, almost eliminating the possibility of Loufuchen dodging.
He felt as if he was hit by a mountain, his body flew backwards uncontrollably, and his internal organs were as uncomfortable as if they were crushed. He was still flying in the air, and his mouth was already spewing a blood clot.
