Chapter 1477: Poor, no choice! Just use it...

……

But for Gongsun Zan at this time, the situation was completely different.

In the grassland, even without the war eagle, his ability to observe the enemy and obtain intelligence on the grassland is actually not weak.

After all, Baima Yicong's speed, in a terrain like the grassland, is not to say unscrupulous, at least he is quite rampant and has no scruples.

The speed at which it flew up was quite wild.

For the exploration of the surroundings, even if the exploration range is only half an hour, it can still conduct a high-intensity reconnaissance and exploration of an area with a radius of fifty miles.

If you just explore roughly, you can even expand this range to hundreds of miles!
In this case, it is impossible for the elite reconnaissance cavalry to escape from the hands of the white horse Yi Cong.

As long as he is discovered, the probability of escaping is basically zero. As for the extremely slim possibility, it is not impossible.

And the reason why I was able to leave was because...

"There's nothing we can do about it. Who asked us to change our equipment..." Yan Gang said helplessly.

As a bow among bows and arrows, it is actually one of the consumables.

Yi Cong, a white horse wearing leather armor, can be said to be quite fast when wearing the armor.

Due to the shortage of supplies, consumables such as bows and arrows are not only used multiple times, but also play an effective role.

However, the reality is often unexpected. Among the several cavalry units, the one who is slowest in completing pre-war preparations is Baima Yicong.

After fighting a war, the bowstring would be taken off, and only after the opponent was discovered would the bow and arrow be re-stringed to prepare for the war.

Only when a war actually breaks out will the bow and arrow be strung up and ready to go, which will truly begin to consume the life of the bow and arrow.

According to past experience, this step can be said to be the most time-consuming.

But even so, Baima Yicong should be the fastest among all armies to complete pre-war preparations.

But this habit of saving is still retained even when supplies are abundant.

"General, the knives have been polished and the bows and arrows have been strung!" Yan Gang looked at the preparations of his soldiers and said with great satisfaction.

In the past, the white horse Yi Cong could complete the pre-war preparations in no more than a quarter of an hour. He could complete dressing, putting on weapons, stringing bows and arrows, etc.

In order to extend the life of the bow and ensure the performance of the bow and arrow, in most cases, the bow and arrow are generally stored without being strung.

The Yuyang Cavalry wearing standard armor is the fastest. As for the heavily armored Youzhou Heavy Cavalry, the armor has the most small parts, which can effectively increase defense and flexibility. The final result is to wear the armor. The speed is the slowest.

And the most time-consuming thing among them is just winding the bow and arrow.

"Several hours, what a waste of time..." Gongsun Zan looked at the sun in the sky and said with emotion.

As a pre-war preparation, generally speaking, the shorter the time, the better.

"Everything is good, but polishing the knife is such a waste of time..." Yan Gang said unsatisfied, "It would be great if the speed could be faster and there would be no need for other legions to wait!"

Usually it was Baima Yicong waiting for the other legions, but today it was the other way around.

"Knives?" Gongsun Zan heard this and repeated it to himself, then smiled and shook his head. It used to be a straight knife, but with the blessing of my own talent, I could sharpen it very quickly.

Of course, when there is only one knife, most of the time there is really only one chance for a charge.

After all, we still have to protect the soldier's wrist. If we don't protect our wrist, it's only once!
Therefore, when the light of the sword appears, the winner is decided!

After the war was over, the blades were picked up again, polished and spliced, and continued to be used.

In this aspect, Baima Yicong is still very good in the splicing technology of fixed blades.

However, after Chen Xi understood the specific reasons for this, the corresponding materials and rations increased a lot.

Not only has the fixed blade been replaced with a thinner, brittle and lighter, but also sharper and stronger nickel steel alloy blade, further enhancing the lethality while reducing the load.

Equipped with a special knife box, it is easy to carry a dozen blades at a time, and in terms of weight, it is not heavy, not even comparable to a heavy gun.

It can be said that it was very consistent with Gongsun Zan's ideas. When he went on this expedition, he brought everything with him.

Unlike the disposable consumables that Chen Xi thought of, Gongsun Zan has no such concept in this regard.

After the pale sword light wiped out the Xianbei tribe in the east, it took a lot of time to fish out the blades one after another from a pile of broken bones and bright red blood, polish them and splice them together.

From the general Gongsun Zan to the soldiers down to the white horse Yi Cong, no one felt that there was anything wrong with their behavior.

Even some of the white horse Yi Cong who couldn't find enough blades looked sad.

Although everyone does bring a lot of blades, if there are casualties, there will definitely be more blades.

However, in the encirclement and suppression of the Xianbei tribe, they achieved an expected victory and unexpectedly low casualties.

In addition, Chen Xi judged that this kind of thing was a disposable consumable, and he had no idea of ​​simply splicing it together and reusing it after recycling. (At most, it can be remade!)

In this case, while ensuring one-time damage, the performance of multiple uses is somewhat insufficient in terms of quality.

It is precisely because of this that many broken blades appeared on the battlefield, which further led to the insufficient number of Baima Yicong blades.

Even if Gongsun Zan comes forward to distribute, after splicing, everyone is missing one or two blades.

The remaining blades of each person not only need to be spliced, but also need to be polished.

The time it takes to re-sharpen so many blades, coupled with the particularity of the material, naturally goes up, a lot of time is wasted, and the performance of the blades has to be reduced by four or five points.

In Chen Xi's view, this kind of delay and impact on combat effectiveness is simply unreasonable and unimaginable.

However, in Gongsun Zan's opinion, this situation is completely normal.

Isn't it just that some of the blades were broken? They can still be used after repairing them.

The soldiers of Baima Yicong didn't think there was any problem with this situation. Instead, they spliced ​​the blades very skillfully and sharpened the blade quickly, so that the cold light reappeared on the blade of the straight knife.

However, it is precisely because of this that Hakuba Yicong, who polished the blade after cleaning off the blood stains on his body, wasted the most time among the legions.
