Chapter 1390 : Chapter 695: Cao Cao Plays Cavalry (2)
Yuan Shao was trying his best to regain his strength.
Cao Cao carefully developed his horseshoes and stirrups.
Yanzhou, Dongjun.
This is Cao Cao's new lair.
The loss of Xudu was undoubtedly a huge blow to Cao Cao. However, Xiahou Dun managed to turn the tide and brought back the families of countless generals and civil officials. After the families of these civil and military officials took over Dongjun.[
It makes Dongjun seem like the seat of a powerful force.
At least, the prosperity of Dongjun at the moment far exceeds that of most cities in the Central Plains. In addition, there are nearly 200,000 cavalry and infantry troops of Cao Cao inside and outside Dongjun. It can be said that they are almost impregnable and guarded by the army.
In addition, Cao Cao mobilized many top blacksmiths from Yanzhou and Xuzhou to enter Dongjun to forge stirrups. However, the structure of stirrups is simpler, while horseshoes are more difficult.
However, fortunately, the development was successful.
On this day, in the east city, in Cao's mansion.
Cao Cao and the civil and military men under his tent were happily looking at a war horse. This was an ordinary war horse. The only unusual thing was that there were stirrups hanging on both sides of the war horse, and the horseshoes were nailed with horseshoes.
This is a complete restoration of the configuration that the Han cavalry should have.
"I think over the past few months, I first lost Zixiao, then Xudu, and then made peace with my defeated general Yuan Shao before I could escape from Hebei. After going south to fight against Liu Feng, I lost Xiahou Deng, Xiahou Yuan, and Hubao Cavalry Capital.
Lost two thousand
It can be said that it has been a bad year, but now, things have turned around. With these two little things, my cavalry can dominate the Central Plains." Cao Cao was dim at first, but he cheered up after a moment and said.
"What Duke Ming said is that the so-called iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty only relied on external objects to become so powerful. Now we have also obtained these two little things. With the help of them, the combat effectiveness of all the cavalry can be increased to what it was before.
The level of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, is likely to be even greater. If we encounter the Han Dynasty cavalry again, we will definitely be able to defeat them. The Han Dynasty, however, will definitely be wiped out under the iron cavalry of Ming Gong."
General Gao Lan said from the side.
Gao Lan, in Hebei, was one of the four great generals alongside Yan Liangwen and Chou Zhangja. But after arriving in the south, Cao Cao had too many generals, and he had been reduced to second rate. At this time, he was just a flatterer.
.
However, Gao Lan took advantage of the opportunity to flatter him.
At least, everyone present was what Gao Lan thought. They all believed that after obtaining the stirrups and horseshoes, their own strength would increase countless times. Then they would sweep through Xudu again and beat the Han Dynasty into a shrunken turtle.
If Dong Cheng dares to come out and fight, he will definitely be destroyed in battle.
Thinking about the scene of killing Dong Cheng and destroying the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao couldn't help but smile a little, happy.
"Zhongde, give the order. Thirty thousand pieces will be forged at once." Cao Cao turned around and said to Cheng Yu.
"promise."
Cheng Yu promised.
"You too, hurry up and equip these gadgets. This way, if you encounter those fierce generals on the battlefield, you can take advantage of the situation and kill them." Then Cao Cao said to the generals.[
"promise."
The generals also agreed.
"Ming Gong, there is something we must guard against." At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly said.
"Oh?" Cao Cao raised his head and looked at Guo Jia.
"I heard that Liu Feng is forming Han soldiers according to the formation method of Wei soldiers. It seems that he wants to use infantry to compete with cavalry." Guo Jialiu said with some worry. Now that the power of Cao Jun's cavalry is about to increase greatly,
Guo Jia shouldn't be worried, but he is really uneasy.
So, he spoke out in Cao Cao's favor.
"Wei Wuzu? That is indeed a powerful cavalry. If I didn't get these two things, I would still be afraid. But now." Cao Cao didn't take it to heart when he heard this and said with a smile.
"What Ming Gong said is true. Although Wu Qi is powerful, he was a figure from hundreds of years ago. The battlefield has changed and is very different from now. Wei Wu's soldiers may not be effective." Gao Lan said immediately.
"That's right. Wu Qi's art of war can be learned, but this method of Wei's martial arts is an old method from hundreds of years ago. It probably won't work anymore. Liu Feng's practice of this martial arts must be in vain."
"It's not just a waste of effort. To practice martial arts, you need a lot of armor, and it also wastes people and money."
"It can just consume the power that the Han Dynasty has accumulated in Xiangyang and Hanzhong. It will be a hundred benefits to us without any harm. Don't worry about him."
Many civil and military officials agreed.
Guo Jia thought in his mind that this was also true. Seeing that Cao Cao was very interested, he was only interested in the strength of his own cavalry and didn't seem to be interested in the so-called Wei soldiers. He said no more.
Like all civil and military personnel, they were immersed in the joy of the powerful cavalry.
Such a powerful cavalry was enough to sweep through the entire Central Plains.
