Chapter 447 New Cavalry Training
General Tao was a little stunned, and didn't know how to respond for a while, so he could only answer, "Uh, what General Mo said...does make sense."
Having said that, his brows were still slightly wrinkled.
"However, what if the enemy's heavy cavalry charges close? Even a piece of armor can play a certain blocking role. At critical moments...maybe you can save...a life."
In the end, General Tao didn't have much confidence in his own words, save his life?What are you kidding? !
Take the three-meter-long cavalry spears that are now standard in the Star Luo Empire as an example. The fine iron cavalry spears weigh about ten catties. Under the high-speed charge of heavy cavalry, their lethality and penetration are amazing. Speaking of piece armor, even a one-centimeter-thick heavy plate armor can pierce through each other in one hit, piercing a transparent hole the size of a bowl.
Opposite General Tao, Mo Shengnan sneered, spoke again, and directly issued orders to General Tao domineeringly.
"This is what I'm going to teach today, you, arrange for a heavy cavalry to come over, hurry up."
"Uh, the last general...obey the order."
General Tao replied in astonishment, turning around while riding his horse, thinking strangely: I am the chief general, and she is the newly sent deputy general, that is, my subordinate, why should I listen to her?
As he thought to himself, he had already reached the area where the heavy cavalry was located before he knew it.
Seeing a large group of heavy cavalry training for assassination on horseback, he couldn't help but sighed inwardly.
Forget it, listen to it, anyway, she is a celebrity under the Queen's hand, so it's better not to provoke her easily.
General Tao thought to himself, and called a heavy cavalryman holding a three-meter-long fine iron spear, and followed him to turn around and go to Mo Shengnan's place.
Both of them were riding horses, and soon, General Tao brought the heavy cavalry to Mo Shengnan.
This is a heavily armed Heaven Dou Empire standard heavy cavalry, with a helmet that only shows his face on his head, and a one-centimeter-thick heavy full-body plate armor on his body.
Among them, the soldier's neck, arms, thighs and other parts are all covered by movable link heavy armor, and the chest and abdomen and other vital parts are completely a whole piece of heavy plate armor, with amazing defense.
In addition, the soldier's horse is also wearing heavy armor, only the ears, eyes, mouth, nose, legs, tail and anus are exposed, and the rest of the place is protected, just like the heavy armor of the Iron Buddha in the Song Dynasty. , with almost no weaknesses at all.
Looking at this equipment, it is quite good.
Mo Shengnan praised in his heart, and pointed at the soldier directly.
"I'll run first, you, drive the horse and chase me."
After giving the order, she turned to General Tao again, and ordered directly and domineeringly, "General Tao, you bring some light cavalry to watch."
After finishing speaking, Mo Shengnan didn't wait for General Tao to reply, he directly pulled off the horse's rope, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and shouted: "Drive!"
After receiving the order, the war horse neighed, took a deep breath, and carried Mo Shengnan towards a distant direction.
Seeing this, the heavy cavalry drove the horse under his crotch, held a fine iron spear, and began to pursue.
(Note: Because it takes up to three years to complete the horse lance, the current Tiandou cavalry is still equipped with three-meter-long fine iron spears, and it will take more than two years for the horse lance to be officially installed in large quantities.)
Behind, General Tao and the many light cavalrymen under his command glanced at each other, and then rode their horses to follow...
On the grassland, Mo Shengnan was running fast in front, while the heavy cavalry behind him kept chasing him.
However, no matter how hard he pursued and how hard the horse under his crotch tried, he couldn't get within 50 meters behind Mo Shengnan, let alone catch up to Mo Shengnan.
Moreover, it was Mo Shengnan who kept a certain constant speed. If she wanted to, she could completely throw this heavy cavalry far away by 200 meters.
After running for a while, Mo Shengnan glanced back at General Tao and the other light cavalry hanging behind him, guessing that it was almost there, and took out a recurve compound bow from his soul tool.
Want to shoot with a recurve compound bow?
Mo Shengnan frowned slightly and shook his head.
No, the recurve compound bow is too powerful, it can shoot through heavy plate armor at close range, so it cannot be used as a demonstration.
Thinking in this way, Mo Shengnan put away the recurve compound bow and replaced it with a straight arm bow.
This straight-armed bow is installed by Tiandou archers in front of strong bows such as divine-armed crossbows, recurve compound bows, and yew longbows. The string length is only 1.5 meters, and the bow arms are naturally curved without any reverse direction Curved or otherwise complex structures have low power and short range.
However, Mo Shengnan was still a little worried, so he broke off the arrow and put it away, leaving only the shaft.
After finishing all this, she turned around suddenly, set her bow and arrow, and aimed at the heavy cavalry chasing behind her.
The heavy cavalry was startled, he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, let go of the reins with his left hand, took out the cavalry shield from the horse's belly next to him, and put it on his chest.
Life-saving is done quite well.
Mo Shengnan praised in his heart, and shouted: "Pay attention, I'm going to shoot the vital parts of your chest."
The heavy cavalryman's heart tightened suddenly, he stared at Mo Shengnan intently, and his heart rose to his throat.
At the same time, General Tao and the other light cavalry in the back watched intently, still a little puzzled in their hearts, what exactly is this new instructor going to do?
And just when they were wondering, at the front, Mo Shengnan had already let go of the straight-armed bowstring held by his right hand.
"Ugh...!"
The bow and arrow flew out, bringing a strong wind and the sound of piercing the air, and accurately hit the cavalry shield held by the heavy cavalry behind.
"clang--!"
The cavalry shield made a clear sound, and there was not even a trace left on it, which shows the high defense power, and it also shows how weak the straight arm bow is.
After the arrow was shot, Mo Shengnan retracted the straight-armed bow and pulled the reins.
"Call..."
The war horse received the order, slowed down and trotted for a few steps, and finally stopped.
Not long after, the heavy cavalry behind, General Tao and the accompanying large group of light cavalry all came to Mo Shengnan and pulled the rope to stop.
Among them, the horse under the crotch of the heavy cavalry took several breaths in a row before regaining its stability. It can be seen that even a war horse, carrying dozens of kilograms of armor and a human body weighing more than 100 kilograms, consumes a lot of energy.
Mo Shengnan turned his horse's head, faced the crowd, and spoke loudly.
"Did you see it? I call this 'dog walking tactic'. It means light cavalry riding horses, seducing heavy cavalry in front of them to chase after them, and then looking back at the moon, pointing bows and arrows, and shooting the target.
During this period, the heavy cavalry were unable to catch up with us due to their heavy equipment. We can safely gallop to keep the distance while aiming and shooting arrows without worrying about being attacked. This is what Qian Feier told me An important lesson to teach you. "
Having said this, Mo Shengnan's expression and voice became serious.
"Light cavalry not only harass and shoot enemy infantry and formations, but also lure and shoot the enemy's main heavy cavalry. In this way, the enemy will lose the ability to assault and tear apart our formation. The infantry formation will be unbreakable and invincible."
After finishing speaking, Mo Shengnan asked loudly: "You all, do you understand?"
"understand!"
Everyone responded loudly, and the sound-shaking sky shook.
Mo Shengnan was very satisfied and nodded.
But at this moment, a light cavalryman suddenly raised his hand in the crowd.
"report!"
"speak!"
"What if the enemy army follows behind and throws cavalry spears? Our bodies cannot resist spear throwing."
The soldier's question revealed what everyone was thinking. For a moment, everyone frowned and looked at each other.
Mo Shengnan took a look, but did not answer directly, but asked the soldier instead.
"Soldier, how much does the fine iron spear equipped by the heavy cavalry weigh?"
The soldier estimated in his heart, and replied cautiously: "About ten catties."
Still have a little common sense!
Mo Shengnan nodded in satisfaction, and then asked: "Then let me ask you again, how heavy is the armor on the heavy cavalry?"
Does the armor weigh?
The soldier tilted his head and thought for a while, then replied cautiously: "The whole body of plate armor is conservatively estimated to be no less than 25 kilograms."
"Wrong, it's thirty kilograms."
Mo Shengnan corrected.
After correcting, Mo Shengnan asked again: "Then I will ask you again, if it were you, wearing a [-]-kilogram heavy plate armor, and holding a [-]-kilogram fine iron spear in your hand, would you How far to throw?"
The soldier thought about it for a while, and replied: "It may not be very far on the horse, only about ten meters, and no more than 20 meters at most."
As he said that, the soldier seemed to have thought of something suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his face was full of surprise.
"I know! As long as we keep a certain distance, the heavy cavalry's spears can't hurt us. We can walk them like a dog, and we can keep looking back and shooting arrows to kill the enemy!"
Not stupid!
Mo Shengnan nodded affirmatively, "That's right, that's right."
After speaking, she turned to General Tao.
"General Tao, from today onwards, look back archery is included in the compulsory training course. In addition to frontal archery, this must also be used proficiently. At that time, once it is completed, our army will become the number one in the mainland."
"Yes!"
General Tao immediately replied that at this moment, he really admired Mo Shengnan, and at the same time he was extremely excited and looked forward to the future Tiandou Cavalry Corps.
How strong will the future cavalry force be?
When he thought of this, he was extremely excited, and his spirit seemed to be much stronger.
Afterwards, Mo Shengnan trained and taught in the cavalry camp for a long time. It was not until evening that he accompanied General Tao and the cavalry troops back to the cavalry camp.
After returning to the cavalry camp, Mo Shengnan bid farewell to General Tao, went to his car, opened the door, and got into the car.
After closing the car door, she put one foot on the clutch pedal and the other on the valve.
The current car has been designed and equipped with a clutch after Qian Feier's long-term tests. Now, Mo Shengnan can already control his own speed by stepping on the clutch.
