I am the Crown Prince of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 630 Builder

"That's right, returning to the old capital Luoyang is the real revitalization of the Han Dynasty. It also cuts Cao Cao's power in two, making Chang'an unable to contact Yanzhou. (⊙﹏⊙⊙﹏⊙) But the problem is , we don’t have many troops first, if we send generals to guard Hulao Pass, we may not have enough troops.”

Liu Xie's heart was also very excited, but he still had some doubts.

"It's okay. Although we lost a lot in the attack on Xudu. But also, the combat effectiveness of our field soldiers is gradually taking shape. After Lu Su left, we still had 5 people. As long as Zhao Yun is sent to guard Hulao Pass, then There is no problem."

Liu Feng said with a smile. [

Speaking of this, Liu Feng paused, and then said: "In addition to guarding the Hulao Pass, we fall into the northern cities. Xudu, Yingchuan, Wancheng, etc. all need sufficient food, otherwise it will be difficult for Cao Cao's cavalry How long will it be guarded? This requires the mobilization of food from Xiangyang, Hanzhong, and Xinye. Tomorrow morning, the ministers will ask the father to mobilize the food, and I will ask the father to agree."

"no problem."

Liu Xie agreed without hesitation.

"In addition to this, I feel that we should form cavalry. In Xinye, I still have thousands of war horses and thousands of poor horses. I can choose a good general to train them into an army. Although we sharpen our guns in battle, it is better than nothing."

Finally, Liu Feng said.

"Just Dong Cheng." Liu Xie nodded.

The father and son fully reached a consensus.

Zhao Yun was sent into Hulao Pass, food from the south was mobilized into Xudu, and Dong Cheng was ordered to set up cavalry.

"However, the temporarily built cavalry has limited combat effectiveness. Should we also build a crossbowman?" At the end, Liu Xie asked again.

"Although the crossbowmen are a sharp weapon against the cavalry, we have to wait for Cao Cao's army to charge and kill them. Otherwise, the crossbowmen are useless outside, so forget it. As for the temporary establishment of the cavalry, there is no combat effectiveness, my son. There are already countermeasures."

Liu Feng was confident when he heard this.

As Liu Xie said, it takes at least one year for a cavalry to form basic combat effectiveness, and it takes at least two or three years to become an elite.Some of Cao Cao's elite cavalry have even been established for more than ten years.

Just like tiger and leopard riders, that's it.

Although Liu Feng sharpened his gun in front of the battle, he was unhappy, but if he wanted to compete with the opponent's cavalry, he had to come up with a clever strategy.

And Liu Feng did have a clever strategy.

"Can this cavalry be quick?" Liu Xie asked with interest in his eyes.

"Yes." Liu Feng said with certainty.

Immediately, Liu Feng took out two pieces of Caihou paper from his sleeve, handed it to Liu Xie, and said with a smile: "This is a wonderful strategy."

"What is this?" Liu Xie reached out to take it, but he looked puzzled. [

On Caihou's paper, there are two sketches drawn.Liu Feng knew that those were stirrups and horseshoes, which were the basic equipment of cavalry in later generations.

But now it doesn't exist.

Liu Feng had already started thinking about and building these two things.But before there were materials, there were no war horses.Later, Liu Feng blackmailed a group of war horses from Cao Cao and returned, and then he began to pay attention.

However, it entered the period of the Northern Expedition before manufacturing started.

Now facing the powerful threat of Cao Cao's cavalry, Liu Feng decided to build horseshoes and stirrups to support the cavalry's fighting.Although a cavalry is definitely not an opponent of Cao Cao's tens of thousands of cavalry, it is better to have than to have nothing.
