229 The corvée in Danyang County challenged Li Jiabing?

Military Academy Campus.

In the stands around the school grounds, thousands of viewers were waiting anxiously.

At this time, the Grand Marshal Li Rong finally rode a war horse and took his army of 100-man cavalry to appear in the huge schoolyard.

The campus suddenly felt cheers in the campus.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Marshal has brought his troops to the field. It seems that this simulated military exercise is about to begin!"

Cai and the eunuch looked up and were overjoyed.

Emperor Xiang Yanran nodded slightly and looked at the army of King Ping.

Since the last time he returned from the northern expedition to the Huns, he has not seen King Ping lead his troops to fight for a long time. The situation in the court has changed a lot. As the princes secretly accumulate strength, they are afraid that the war will begin again.

He also wanted to know whether the combat effectiveness of King Ping was the same as before.

Li Rongshan was riding and shooting. This army composed of personal soldiers of the Li family was of course a cavalry.

One hundred light cavalry riding high-headed war horses.

Each war horse is extremely strong and strong, with oily and smooth hair, and makes a "puchi" sound, which looks peaceful and orderly under the control of their masters.

The soldiers are soldiers of the Li family.

The Li family in the Pingwang Mansion was a military family in Dachu. The children of the family made contributions on the battlefield and were the greatest goal in their lives.

These hundreds of Li's children all read military books since childhood, are familiar with tactics and tactics, practice martial arts since childhood, and are good at riding and shooting, swords and battle formations.

Each of them is cultivated according to their length, Du Bo and Front teeth in the future. Once there is a war, this small Li family army can immediately expand into an army of thousands or even tens of thousands.

The most important thing is that these Li family soldiers are clan members, cousins, uncles, uncles, and nephews. They grew up together and knew the roots and were very familiar with and trusted.

This will bring them a great cooperation advantage.

With a small look or gesture, they can understand it, just like a group of wolves that have organized tacit understanding, pounced towards the enemy.

The entire army is united as one person.

Since ancient times, clan soldiers have been the most capable of fighting.

However, very few people can afford to support clan soldiers. Often only a large clan can afford to support a pure clan soldiers.

War horses are well-trained war horses!

They all feed and train the war horses they personally, and cooperate with the owner in a very tacit understanding.

Although this is just a team of 100-man cavalry, this momentum is extremely strong. The ordinary force of a thousand-man is not enough to compete with it.

Let’s look at their equipment. They are all equipped with the most exquisite battle bows, armor-breaking arrows, holding spears, squeezing knives at their waists, wearing helmets, wearing leather armor with a small amount of steel plates, and even the war horses are wearing light vests.

It can be said that the Li family bing equipped the most elite cavalry equipment in Da Chu, which is enough to make any soldier envious.

The Huns light cavalry lacked high-quality iron armor, and this armor-breaking arrow made of 100 steel was enough to shoot through the leather armor of the Huns.

However, the Great Chu Dynasty had not yet invented the stirrup.

They only have pony saddles.

Taking a ride on such a war horse and having to skillfully fight on a war horse naturally requires more than ten years of hard training and extremely superb riding skills.

The cavalry of Dachu was not as good as the cavalry of the Huns who grew up on the grasslands.

Of course, fighting is not about personal riding skills, but also about the tactics and tactics of generals.

As light cavalry, their tactics are high-mobile roaming, bows, arrows, raids, sneak attacks, and spear charges.

When the war horses charge, the cavalry will take off their spears and pierce the enemy, and can directly penetrate the enemy's iron armor, which is extremely lethal. Facing hundreds of infantrymen, almost half of them will be killed by one charge.

Of course, there is a last resort to dismounting and fighting in a staircase manner.

Emperor Xiang Yanran was so excited when he saw this hundred-refined elite soldier that he was very satisfied. "Okay, the elite soldiers of the Li family are still as elite as before. Once they go into battle, they will definitely help me sweep the Huns!"

After Li Jiabing went to the schoolyard.

Chu Tianxiu finally entered the school ground with a hundred-man infantry army, carrying a battle flag.

The main general Chu Tianxiu was riding in a wide four-wheeled five-horse chariot.

The chariot's compartment is made of armored steel plates, with steel plates installed on all sides, and the protection performance is excellent. There are some small holes on the steel plate that are larger than the thumb, and I don't know what it is for.

In addition, there were more than a dozen similar chariots, four-wheeled and steel plates installed in the carriage, all of which were pulled by five horses. Even the horses were covered with steel armor, with only eyes exposed.

This army is not a cavalry or an ordinary infantry. To be precise, it should be an infantry chariot army.

Infantry chariots have existed since ancient times.

During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the emperor liked to use chariots when he went to war.

However, later, with the emergence of large numbers of high-mobile cavalry, the chariots gradually withdrew from the battlefield.

Chu Tianxiu upgraded and transformed it, greatly enhancing its defense.

Although the infantry chariot army runs slowly than pure cavalry, it is much faster than the infantry. The tired soldiers can even enter the carriage to rest, and have a certain degree of mobility.

The carriage is wide and easy to use. It can hold more than a dozen people, cargo, equipment, dry food, water, explosives, etc.

Five slow horses were enough to pull them around.

Even if these tanks are not used for combat, they are used as logistics supplies, and have sufficient defense and security, which is actually quite good.

And the hundred soldiers were all armored infantry.

Each ten people are guarding on both sides of a chariot, either outside the car or inside the car.

These soldiers all had dark faces, obviously tanned by sunbathing every day. Their palms were covered with calluses, and their hands holding hammers were quite strong and strong.

They are all soldiers from miners on the mountain.

Of course, their equipment was not shabby at all. They were all silver-shining steel armor, with hundreds of swords and steel shields on their waists.

As an industrial center of the Great Chu Dynasty, Danyang County naturally has no shortage of the best steel.

The most eye-catching thing is that each of them holds a strange thing like a long iron pipe in their hands.

Bayonets are also installed on the tip of the iron pipe.

It was half a person tall, and it was raised like an iron tube bayonet.

What is this?

This is a new type of equipment that has never been seen in Dachu.

Assassination?

Wouldn't it be better to use a long tassel gun?

In the stands of the school, the emperor, the ministers, the generals, the teachers and students of the Military Academy were all confused.

...

Chu Tianxiu was also a little helpless, it was not that he didn't want cavalry.

However, the training of cavalry is often several years or more, and there is no such easy training.

Even if he was given a hundred war horses, these soldiers from the countryside mines would not be able to ride.

In order to increase mobility, he could only use an infantry combat vehicle. Although the maneuverability was slightly weak, his advantage was that his protection was strong enough.

It is completely impossible for a bow and arrow to shoot through it, and it cannot be done by swords and guns. It is not possible to penetrate it with an axe and hit it hard for more than ten times.

But hehe... there are rows of shooting holes in the car, and within a hundred steps, the gun can explode any knife and axe driver.

This hasn't included the explosive packs prepared in the car.

Within ten steps of the chariot, it is the death area.

Two big words "Danyang" are embroidered on the bright red battle flag.

"Danyang?"

"Did they come from Danyang County?"

"Does there be troops in the county? No!... Xiao Hunhou wouldn't have brought the soldiers guarding the county town over here?"

"The soldiers in the county are all used by farmers to serve corvee.

They didn't even count the army, and they might not even be able to defeat the big bandits, so they could only cause trouble for the little thief. They brought such a group of soldiers up and actually fought against the Li family bandits led by the Grand Marshal. Isn't this a joke!"

"This military exercise is no longer possible. A group of corvee soldiers from the county town fought against the Li family band in the most elite in the Great Chu Dynasty, which was completely one-sided!"

The people around the school were stunned and disappointed, and shook their heads.

infantry?

Against the Cavalry?

The light cavalry of the Huns had already allowed the infantry of the Great Chu to deeply understand the terrible power of the cavalry. The Great Chu almost raised 700,000 to 800,000 war horses with all his strength, and exploded the cavalry with all his strength.

It doesn't mean that infantry will definitely be defeated.

However, it is completely impossible for infantry to kill the cavalry and pursue them while they are victorious. Therefore, infantry can only be unbeaten, but cannot win.

Of course, let’s be disappointed.

They had no hope of Xiaohunhou having any chance of winning.
