Chapter 438
"Their war horses are also equipped with horseshoes and bilateral stirrups..." Liu Jun put the information on the desk, which surprised him, but not very surprised.
These equipment of the cavalry, he said, must be kept strictly secret, from the commander of the cavalry to the ordinary soldiers, will not be told to outsiders.
However, after so many battles, especially in the battle with Cao Cao in Guandu, the cavalry lost so much, although Zhao Yun left more than 10,000 war horses in White Horse City at that time, but many still died on the battlefield, this secret must not be preserved.
And what puzzled Liu Wei was, why did the Xiongnu and Xianbei know? Cao Cao knew that the number of his cavalry was limited after all, but the Xiongnu and Xianbei knew what the 200,000 cavalry would be like once they invaded the Central Plains?
Liu Jian couldn't help but think of Wuhu Chaohua. If that is the case, won't he become a sinner for the ages?
"No, you must stop the foreign iron horse!" Liu Jian secretly made up his mind in his heart, you have tens of thousands of iron horses, I have new weapons, those explosives, I don't believe I can't stop the cavalry.
"Lord, my subordinates think that this must be Cao Cao leaking this matter to Liu Bao and Kebineng!" Pang Tong's voice was full of anger.
"It doesn't matter who leaks it now, we have to think of ways to deal with it." Liu Jian thought about it and said.
"Master, ambush in advance, you can shoot some cavalry with a crossbow in hand!" Zhuge Liang was very interested in the crossbow developed by Liu Jun, "Although the wind crossbow is very powerful, it is inconvenient to move, it can be used to defend the city, and it is not suitable for cavalry.
"Our Han swords are also much better than their horse chopping swords, and they can also cause certain damage to cavalry!" Pang Tong said.
"You can't fight hard with cavalry, we don't have many soldiers and horses from them, and we can make good use of flying thunder and invincible sky thunder."
"The lord is right, these two great killers must be the nemesis of the cavalry!" Zhuge Liang listened to Liu Jun's words and immediately became excited.
He had seen the invincible heavenly thunder for a long time, and the newly developed flying thunder, that day Fa was taking him and Pang Tong to see it in person, and Zhuge Liang directly called it an artifact. Just now, under the influence of inertial thinking, I did not think of these two killers. Now after Liu Jun's reminder, many ways to deal with the cavalry have begun to flash in Zhuge Liang's mind, how can he not be excited?
The news that the foreign clan was going to invade, the people outside Luoyang City slowly knew, 200,000 iron horses, what kind of power was that?
Elderly people, remembered more than twenty years ago, after the death of Dong Zhuo, Li Ge, Guo Qiang, Lü Bu and others fought endlessly, and Liu Bao, the Xiongnu Zuoxian king, took the opportunity to go south, burning, killing and looting, making the area from Luoyang to Chang'an a hell on earth, every Xiongnu soldier, the front of the war horse hung a man's head, and behind it were beautiful women. Cai Yan, the daughter of a generation of great Ru Cai Yong, was also snatched away.
Now with an army of 200,000, how can it not be panicked.
But soon, the people calmed down again.
Because the Han king Liu Jun wanted to lead Zhuge Liang, Fa Zheng, Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and others to personally go to Western Liang to face the cavalry of foreign tribes.
King Liu Jun of Han is an undefeated god of war in the minds of everyone, with him going, what is 200,000 foreign cavalry? When did the King of Han fight, when did he lose?
The officials in the palace and around Luoyang City are doing things step by step, and no one is afraid, what are the people afraid of?
A few days later, 10,000 cavalry gathered in a large camp outside the city, and the spirited soldiers and majestic war horses completely relieved the people. The army of the Great Han is mighty and majestic, invincible and invincible, how can he care about those foreign barbarians?
Although these cavalry have just been formed, they are all veterans of a hundred battles selected from the infantry, and they have good riding skills and are proficient in archery. After a few months of training, it has a strong combat power.
The two commanders, one is Zhao Yun, who once led the white horse Yicun and fought with foreign cavalry many times. One is Zhang Xiu, the Northland Gun King of Megatron Northland County, both of them are white horse silver guns, majestic.
Ten days later, Liu Jun, Fa Zheng, Zhuge Liang, and others were preparing to lead their army west outside Luoyang City, and many officials came to see them off.
Of course, in the past few days, Liu Jun has said goodbye to several princesses, and everyone is teary-eyed, and their hearts are full of resentment and worry, especially Cai Yu, Sun Shangxiang and Da Qiao, which makes Liu Jun also feel extremely apologetic. The child is about to be born, but he is not around, even if it is brocade clothes and jade food, even if there are many people to serve, the loneliness in the woman's heart cannot be let go.
Although they all understood, they could not resolve the grudge.
Liu Jun promised everyone that when the world was peaceful, he would be relieved of the burden of this burden and stay with everyone for life.
The concubines naturally saw this as Liu Jun's comfort to them, but what Liu Jun said was from the bottom of their hearts.
"Kong Ming, Li Yan's military master sacrificial wine Jiang Wei, is only fourteen or five years old this year, but this kid is extremely smart and has the potential to be a handsome talent, but he still needs to be taught, he also learned some with Xiaozhi in the past, Kong Ming can do more guidance, he will be the pillar of my great man in the future!"
Liu Wei didn't know if this was the fate of history or a coincidence, Jiang Wei and Zhuge Liang actually wanted to cooperate, so he pushed the boat along the water and promoted this pair of masters and apprentices.
"Don't worry, Liang is naturally carefully tuned!"
Many people and merchants followed the officials and came to bid farewell. Especially the people of Luoyang, seeing that such a young King of Han was about to go on a campaign again, had tears in their eyes. Because many children of families of the age of King Han are still so inactive, but King Han has already experienced hundreds of battles. What is he for? Isn't it so that the people can live a stable life?
There were a total of 15,000 troops, in addition to Zhao Yun and Zhang Xiu's 5,000 cavalry each, Liu Hu led 3,000 soldiers and horses, and he was named a general of Huyi by Liu Jun, and from now on, he will fight on the battlefield. And Liu Jun's new guardian Shi Ah led two thousand imperial forest troops to protect Liu Qi's safety.
Half an hour later, the army set out. After arriving in Chang'an, the two teams separated, Liu Liang went north through Xiaoguan to Beidi County, and Zhuge Liang went west through Sanguan to Jincheng.
Outside Xianyang City, Zhuge Liang had been watching Liu Jun's army leave, looking at the ancient Xianyang City, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart.
The last time he fought with the Han army, he tried his best to plan, but in the end he was defeated. At that time, he was very unconvinced in his heart, one was that his own troops were too small, and the other was that Guan Yu was just stunned.
But now he understands that this is really the right time and place, and the place is not as good as people. If the Han army has taken over the people, how can it fail?
"Zilong, the army is going!"
"No!"
