Following Murong Nan's violent roar, the long tree in his hand plunged hard into a pine tree in front of him. This pine tree was two feet high. It took at least two people holding hands to encircle it. It was so tall.
It is so strong that even the best woodcutter would have to chop, saw, and pull it for more than a moment before it can be brought down.
But Murong Nan's impact seemed to have brought a huge force, and he rushed up to the big tree. There was only a "click" sound, and the big tree was hit hard by the long branch.
Pierced, and with a quick flick and turn of Murong Nan's wrist, a long horizontal crack suddenly appeared on the entire tree body, which continued to expand. When Murong Nan rushed through the big tree with his men and horses,
After more than ten steps, the crack finally caused the entire big tree to collapse, and also knocked down a small tree over six feet high behind it. Smoke filled the sky and startled flocks of birds in the forest.
Murong Nan's hands were empty. As he sprinted towards the big tree, he abandoned the riding spear in his hand. With a flick of his wrist at the end, he drilled such a large hole and directly used the huge momentum to drill the tree.
The inside of the pine tree was shattered to the point that it fell over. Liu Yu took a look at the broken section of the big pine tree. Different from the smooth and complete section when it was sawed down, this time the broken section had been messed up, as if there was something there.
, it is like an internal explosion. You can imagine how huge the impact is.
Liu Yu sighed: "I didn't expect that your cavalry assault was so powerful. Such a big tree could be interrupted with one blow. If it were on the battlefield, I'm afraid a formation of more than ten rows would do this to you.
If they are knocked down, the two or three rows of people in the lead will undoubtedly die, and even the companions behind will suffer internal injuries. You said that the infantry formation cannot withstand such a cavalry assault, I believe it now."
Murong Nan nodded triumphantly: "You understand the situation clearly. I know that you Jin people think that the infantry formation cannot be broken, but in fact, you have been defeated by the cavalry again and again on the plains, more than half of them.
They are all unable to withstand the front. Liu Yu must have a clear understanding. The cavalry that can charge forward with force on horseback are not the Huns' light cavalry who only know how to ride and shoot. They have powerful impact. If you ignore it,
This will only cost you blood on the battlefield!"
Liu Yu saluted seriously: "Thank you for your advice. But I still have a question. If our rifle attacks with such power, it will definitely break. But look at the long tree you just pierced through the tree.
It’s actually still fine, how is this possible?!”
Murong Nan smiled and looked at the riding poles scattered aside: "You have been curious about my riding pole for a long time, Liu Yu. If you go and see this pole for yourself, you will know why."
Liu Yu nodded, rode forward a few steps, and picked up the long spear from the ground. His expression changed as soon as he picked it up, because it was different from the ordinary rifle. When he took it in his hand, it felt lighter.
Quite a few, they don't look like solid wood, but they feel like they are made of bamboo.
Liu Yu asked in surprise: "Is this tree made of bamboo?"
Murong Nan followed and shook his head: "No, it's not bamboo. Although bamboo has strong toughness, it is not hard enough. The best material we use to make horse branches is the thousand-year-old wood from the Daxianbei Mountains in the north of Saibei."
"Tumu was born in the bitter cold land of ice and snow. It has excellent hardness and toughness. It is a good material for us Hu people to make bows and bows. In fact, you Han people also use rubbing wood to make bows. You know, the bows are made of more than four stones."
A strong bow needs to be not only hard, but also very flexible. It is often made of rolled wood or sandalwood, which is the same as using this horse bow."
Liu Yu nodded and stroked the bow: "But the big hardwood bow is much stronger than this riding bow. I'm afraid it will still break in the middle with one blow. How can your bow be so flexible?
?”
Murong Nan smiled and said: "This is the method of making horseshoes. To make horseshoes, we must first immerse the thousand-year-old wood in oil and soak it repeatedly until it no longer deforms or cracks. That is the first step.
.”
"The process of soaking in oil often takes a year. Then, these wooden strips are taken out, placed in a cool and ventilated place, and dried in the shade. This takes several months. Then they continue to be soaked in oil again, and another year later
Take it out to dry in the shade and repeat this process three to five times, which means it will take eight to ten years before the branches are completed."
"Use three to five such branches, put them together, and apply glue on the outside to form a tree body ranging from four feet to eight feet. The outside is wrapped with hemp rope, painted with raw lacquer, and wrapped with Gebu.
, layer upon layer, and after each layer of raw lacquer is dry, wrap it with another layer of Gebu, and wrap it in four or five layers until it can make the sound of gold and iron when cut with a sharp knife, just like this!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a saber from the saddle and stabbed it at the pole in Liu Yu's hand. There was only a "ding" sound, sparks shot out from the pole, and the sound of gold and iron striking Liu Yu was shocked.
Yu's eardrums trembled for a while, and the long sword in his hand also felt violently vibrating. As an expert, Liu Yu knew that such a heavy saber, with one strike, would have a force of several hundred kilograms, enough to break gold and jade.
, even if you are a hardcore person, you may not be able to withstand this blow.
But the stick in his hand was shaking slightly, but not even a piece of paint fell off the stick. He took advantage of the situation and waved it twice, and everything was as usual. Liu Yu sighed: "I have heard of the Nanman people before.
, making rattan armor has such a complicated process, I never thought that you northern barbarians can be so particular about making this kind of horse armor, I am really eye-opening. Is it possible that such a horse armor, with its high intensity during assault, can
It penetrates the big tree, and has such soft toughness that it will not knock the knight on the horse back."
Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, but no matter how hard the body is, it is still hard after all. The sprint may not knock the rider away, but if it stays still, the strength of the stirrup will
I can't hold it back, so when I burst into the formation, just like the moment before, I flicked and turned my wrist to make the head rotate. After reaching the maximum impact, I had to let go decisively. Only in this way can I ensure that you will always
On horseback."
Liu Yu looked at Murong Nan's body and saw that two of the three cowhide straps on his tightly wrapped right shoulder armor had been broken. Even the appearance of the shoulder armor was somewhat deformed, which showed the force of the impact.
How powerful it was, Liu Yu sighed: "If you rush into the formation like this, you will indeed kill ten rows of enemies and injure your shoulders and arms. No wonder your right shoulder armor is wrapped so much tighter than your left shoulder. It's just for this. But...
…”
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "After you break into the formation like this, you have to give up. How can you survive in the enemy's formation with your bare hands?"
