In this era with the essence of heaven and earth, among other things, the basic load of these high-quality war horses can reach their own body weight.
As a Xiliang horse, the weight is upwards of 500 kilograms. Of course, a heavy horse like Red Rabbit weighs a full ton. In reality, there are also some large horses weighing a ton. Just look at that one
The shank meat shows the terrifying fighting ability of this kind of horse.
Having said that, a shield guard only weighs about 200 kilograms. Due to the talent of heavy armor, Zhang Jaw's heavy cavalry is actually not as heavy as a shield guard. Although the approximate weight is actually about the same, the amount of exercise of the heavy cavalry is relatively higher than that of the shield guard.
The shield guard is even lower.
This kind of large war horse carries a soldier with an open jaw, and there is still a lot of weight that can be used to place the Ma Kai on the front. As for the Ma Kai on the side and back, forget it with scales and linings.
Anyway, this unit can only be used to fight from the front. If the side and rear are attacked, those accidents will only occur if the commander is stupid. If the commander is stupid, you can replace the Ma Kai on the side and rear of the war horse with a composite one.
Steel is also dead, so it's better to save some trouble and reduce the weight.
As for whether carrying so many things will affect the battle, based on Guo Jia's experience, it should not be affected. At most, it will have some impact on the endurance of the war horses. Anyway, the heavy cavalry are on the battlefield, and the end of the battle is not far away.
Already.
It is impossible for a legion to survive ten rounds of Zhang Jaw's heavy cavalry on the plains without collapsing. The Army Soul Legion should be killed if caught and hit by this kind of thing for ten times. Theoretically speaking, Zhang Jaw's heavy cavalry should not collapse.
After the cavalry starts fighting, it is impossible to wear down the horse until the stamina is completely exhausted.
It's not like other heavy cavalry who need to brake for one or two kilometers after reaching the maximum speed to avoid the pitfall of breaking the horse's leg due to sudden braking.
The heavy cavalry led by Zhang Jia, looking at the current situation, might have to pierce through the opponent and then make a turn of more than 100 meters to fight back. They would not even lose speed and just turn a big turn, which is very efficient.
After all, there is a braking distance of one or two kilometers, and opening the jaw is enough to penetrate it again. A battle line of one or two kilometers thick is also rare in ancient cold weapon wars.
After watching Guan Yu leave, he opened his jaw and looked at the heavy cavalry around him. It was a pity that such a magic spear could not drink blood yet. I thought that using the elites of other empires as whetstones, I should be able to forge a magic spear.
One day he will be like Yuan Tan and like Guan Yu and cross the border.
[Thank you very much, Zhou Gongjin. Our value should not be wasted in the country. Even if our guns are broken, our swords are broken, or we die on the battlefield, we should be on the road to opening up borders for our country and expanding our territory for China.] He opened his jaw slightly with a look on his face.
I thought sadly.
Guan Yu led his army slowly southward towards Jingzhou. The road was smooth and there was no one to stop him. It was obvious that Zhou Yu had informed everyone.
"Zhang Junyi is good." After he officially entered Jingzhou and ordered his soldiers to set up camp, Guan Yu suddenly said to Guo Jia.
"After all, they are also the Four Courts of Hebei. Yan Wen's bravery and Zhang Gao's bravery are all heroes of the moment." Guo Jia nodded and agreed with Guan Yu's statement. To be honest, it was actually Guan Yu who blew the whistle on how fierce Yan Wen was. Guan Yu's respect for Yan Liang
The evaluation of has always been my enemy.
Guan Yu's strength is undoubtedly the strongest at that level. Naturally, Yan Liang, who was evaluated in this way, has also entered this level. In addition, Lu Bu's recognition of Guan Yu has always been very high. I don't know why, but he also gave Guan Yu face. Naturally
This is also a symbol of strength.
In this way, Guan Yu's long-term evaluation of Yan Liang has become the official final evaluation.
"It's a pity, Yuan Benchu. The more this time comes, the more pity it becomes for those people. Tian Feng Jushou is all a momentary hero." Guo Jia sighed. The further he went, the stronger the opponents he faced, and the more he understood Chen Xi's thoughts.
The civil war is like a pit, and all that is broken are the pots and jars of one's own family.
"But if Yuan Benchu doesn't die, the world will be in trouble!" Xu Shu looked at Guo Jia and said solemnly.
Guo Jia was silent after hearing this. This is a fact. Yuan Shao had to die. Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Ju Yi, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou. These people also had to die. Because if these people don't die, the Yuan family will be defeated for a while. They have the foundation of Jizhou.
, can also rise quickly.
By then, even with Chen Xi's foundation, he will inevitably smash all the pots and jars in the Central Plains, and it is very likely that he will even hit the point where there is no bottom line at all.
"What a pity, what a pity!" Guo Jia sighed twice, and Guan Yu slowly closed his eyes and said no more.
"The whole situation was like this back then. Who among us can say what's right or wrong in the situation? Only now that things are out of order and we open our eyes to see the world can we understand the pity." Guo Jia let out a long sigh, and then started to look left and right to see where it was.
There is wine to drink.
In the next few days, Guan Yu accelerated his march, and then met Zhou Yu and Governor Zhou who were waiting for him at the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Guan Yu saw Zhou Yu and several people waiting at the mouth of the Yangtze River, so he took his civil and military generals to go there for a while. After all, Zhou Yu was here in person, and Guan Yu really needed to see him.
"Captain Zhou." Guan Yu came with Guan Ping and others and saluted Zhou Yu first. Guan Yu admired Zhou Yu quite a lot. Although he was a round younger than him, his ability was still worthy of Guan Yu's respect. What's more, the other party didn't do anything.
Guan Yu was willing to respect him even if he wanted to start a war.
"I'm training troops in the Yangtze River, and I passed by here when I have free time. I just came to see how the situation is in Yizhou?" Zhou Yu asked casually. His navy happened to be training not too far away, and when he heard that Guan Yu was coming, Zhou Yu also came over.
have a look.
"The possibility of defeat is very high." Guan Yu said bluntly without hiding it.
"Really, if the situation ahead is not good, send me the messenger eagle, I may be faster." Zhou Yu nodded, then looked at Guan Yu's legion, "It is stronger than before, all five thousand troops are here
Are they the dual talents of condensing inner energy?"
"It is true." Guan Yu's words were still brief, but he did not follow Zhou Yu's first sentence.
"If nothing else happens to me, he should be the commander-in-chief of the Southern Navy, or the entire Southern Group. We will still have the opportunity to work together in the future." Zhou Yu saw that Guan Yu did not answer the first question and had no special expression.
He continued to narrate in a tone of voice.
Guan Yu was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded, and a rare smile appeared. It was ugly, but very sincere, "The governor has finally made up his mind?"
"I am here to send you on your expedition as the governor of Jingyang, the Three Prefectures, and the governor of Baiyue. It's a victory!" Zhou Yu was still calm, but Guan Yu had already understood what Zhou Yu meant.
"I'm waiting for your arrival in Zhongnan!" Guan Yu said very formally.
"Well, I will go. There is nothing interesting to do in the Central Plains anymore, don't you think so, Guo Fengxiao." Zhou Yu turned to Guo Jia and said, and they, the senior officials, were all very familiar with it.
"I don't want to be your military advisor at all." Guo Jia folded his arms and sneered, "Since you are here to send us off as the governor of Shuhou Zhou, don't you give us something?"
"Guo Fengxiao, Guo Fengxiao, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Since I'm here, I will naturally give you something, so I won't come empty-handed." Zhou Yu said with a faint smile, and then asked Yu Fan to bring the box up.
"These are too few. Zhou Gongjin, you shouldn't have remembered to transfer supplies recently. You have already emptied your family property and don't even want to prepare gifts." Guo Jiada mocked Zhou Yu wantonly, but Zhou Yu just smiled and said nothing.
What, the huge Jiangdong still lacks gifts, but instead of taking some common things, it is better to take some real treasures. After all, from the national level, it is indeed one of our own.
Zhou Yu opened the box and found just a thin classic book with a blank cover. Zhou Yu opened it and handed it to Guan Yu, "I heard that the general loves the art of war, so I gave this to the general."
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu took the nameless book without even looking at it, handed it to Guan Ping who was standing aside, and ordered him to put it away.
"The book of war." Guo Jia curled his lips, feeling quite helpless. His own commanding ability was very poor. Although he was very good at planning and strategy, Guo Jia couldn't handle commanding at all.
"You can take a look when you have time. Although you won't be able to lead troops in combat, you can still command some troops." Zhou Yu said calmly. He has a complete military strategy, from command to strategy to troop training.
He is very good at everything from planning to planning, so he is naturally qualified to ridicule Guo Jia.
"Oh, if that's the case, then you have to read this military book." Guo Jia clicked his tongue and said in wonder, a military book that allows him to lead troops in battle, this is amazing!
Even if Guo Jia has read Huaiyin's Art of War, Wei Liaozi, Sun Tzu's Art of War, and Wu Zi's Art of War, he has never seen the art of war that allows him to truly learn how to command a legion.
"Okay, don't bother me. General Guan, please get on the boat. After crossing the Yangtze River, a guide will take you to the Jingnan Ancient Road." Seeing Guo Jia's expression, Zhou Yu didn't say much and made a gesture of invitation to Guan Yu.
This time, he really sent Guan Yu on an expedition as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army.
Guan Yu nodded upon hearing this, and began to cross the river under the guidance of Zhou Yu's navy. Soon the entire army crossed the Yangtze River, and the guide arranged by Zhou Yu was already in place. Afterwards, Zhou Yu watched Guan Yu leave on the Yangtze River, and then took a boat to go south.
After that, Guan Yu had free time to read the unknown military book given by Zhou Yu along the way, and Guo Jia was also lucky enough to read the full text, and couldn't help but sigh, "Zhou Gongjin is indeed a miser, but what's even more outrageous is that even if this guy does
You can't say anything about being stingy. This thing is indeed valuable, but this person is really stingy!"
Guan Yu looked at Guo Jia in confusion upon hearing this. He had no idea why the other party said that. In his opinion, this book of soldiers was indeed well written and contained many quite classic contents.
What's more, the essence of the command at the end is even more eye-opening and gives people a feeling of sudden enlightenment. I can't help but admire the person who wrote the book.
