The last three kingdoms

Chapter 344 Well done
Fu Zhu didn't expect that this arrow could be shot so accurately that it took Kunluo's life with one arrow.This was Fu Zhu's first time beheading an enemy chieftain on the battlefield. He swung his longbow excitedly, his face flushed.

"Kill!" Fu Zhu raised his arms and shouted, ordering the troops in the headquarters to attack with all their strength.

The cavalry of the Shu army was even more shocked, and rushed towards the camp of the Qiang people with all their strength.

"Well done!" Liu Yin, who was watching the battle halfway up the mountain, couldn't help but secretly raised his thumb and praised sincerely when he saw this scene.

The Fu brothers were young enough to be crowned, and they have already stood shoulder to shoulder with senior generals like Deng Pu Gaoyuan, serving as the commander of the first battalion. If others don't say anything, they must think it in their hearts, thinking that it is Liu Yin who holds great power Engage in nepotism and put his brother-in-law in an important position.It is true that the Fu brothers are young, and apart from Liu Yin's ability to recognize them, they don't have any qualifications to speak of.Today's battle is undoubtedly a battle for Fu Zhu to justify his name, and it also proves that Liu Yin does have the wisdom to know people, and he does not shy away from relatives when he is a virtuous person.

Fu Zhu shot and killed the enemy chieftain. The situation on the battlefield was very good. The entire Qiang army was in a rout and no longer wanted to resist. Liu Yin immediately ordered all the cavalry of the Shu army to attack across the board to encircle and wipe out the Qiang army.

Although equipped with Takahashi saddles and double-sided stirrups, it is not easy to train archers. After all, archery on horseback is not the same as archery on flat ground. A little bit of talent is really not enough.Therefore, among the 2000 cavalry, Liu Yin selected [-] at most, and formed two cavalry archers, one for each of the left and right battalions. Each camp has four divisions.

The equipment of the cavalry archer is a saber, a shield, a longbow, and fifty arrows as standard, while the equipment of the cavalry is a bayonet, a saber, a shield and two short spears for throwing.The combat method of cavalry archers is to go round and round, keep a certain distance from the enemy as much as possible, and strike the enemy at medium and long distances.The Lancers' combat method is much more direct, that is, to use the high-speed attack power of the horse to carry out a charge attack, and tear the enemy's defense line with the lance in their hands.

Equipped with saddles and stirrups, the speed of the Lancers can be doubled, and the way of holding the guns with both hands allows the Lancers to increase the strength and style of the spear attack. Under the powerful inertial impact, a cavalry is a Attacking the machine, hundreds of Lancers lined up and launched an impact. This kind of power is simply unparalleled, and the powerful impact can annihilate everything.

Sure enough, after the Lancers started to attack, they poured down from the half-hillside like a roaring tsunami, roaring towards the Qiang camp, and the Lancers lined up in a row, like the tide on the Qiantang River, turbulent Then, when the horseshoes hit the ground, there was a tidy and deafening roar, and even the ground trembled.

The attack of the cavalry archers just now has caused the Qiang soldiers a lot of suffering, but now the cavalry attack of the Lancers seems to be more fierce, with an unstoppable momentum of thunder, and the Qiang soldiers who have no intention of fighting are even more frightened. There was nothing else to run for.

This is the inferiority of the Qiang people. When the battle went smoothly, these Qiang soldiers were all brave and extraordinary, but once they were defeated, they were like a mess. Now that the enemy chieftain is dead, the last bit of cohesion of the Qiang people has also been lost, and there is no fighting spirit. At this time, I really hated my parents for giving them a pair of missing wings, so they couldn't fly to the sky, and they all rode their horses and galloped, not even daring to look back.

The ensuing battle has become without any suspense. The cavalry of the Shu army swept across the entire battlefield in a storm, hunting and killing the fleeing Qiang soldiers.The speed of the war horses on both sides is similar, but the Shu army is equipped with high-bridge saddles and double-sided stirrups, and the speed and stability are far superior to those of the Qiang soldiers. Many Qiang soldiers fled frantically. fell down.In contrast, the cavalry of the Shu Army are much more stable on horseback, no matter how they move in a wide range, they will not fall off easily.

The battle quickly came to an end. More than 1000 Qiang people were killed in battle, nearly 2000 were captured, more than [-] horses were captured, and countless supplies and armaments were captured.The first battle since the westward advance was fought simply and neatly.

Carrying Kunluo's bloody head, Fu ran up to Liu Yin excitedly and shouted: "Brother-in-law, I caught a big fish. I heard from the captives that this guy is Xiqiang Beihe." The chief of the tribe, what is his name called Bo Luokun."

Liu Yin looked at Fu Zhu, who was full of red eyes, and danced with excitement, like a child who is still immature. In fact, Fu Zhu has just reached the crown. Strictly speaking, he is really a child. Liu Yin chuckled, Fu Zhu It is like a brave general who can take the head of the enemy's chieftain among thousands of armies.

"Okay, today is your first achievement."

Fu Zhu curled his lips, and said a little bit unsatisfactorily: "I usually hear people say how brave these Qiang people are, but when I saw them today, it's nothing more than mediocrity."

Liu Yin smiled softly and said, "If you didn't equip the saddle and stirrup, how could you win so easily? So the biggest contribution today is the high bridge saddle and double sided stirrup."

"That's right, the high bridge saddle and double-sided stirrups are really good. I didn't realize the beauty of it when I was in Duangu. Today, I fought against the Qiang people. The advantage is too obvious. Brother-in-law, thanks to you who made it so Today's big victory is due to the powerful thing, it is really invincible, in the future, whether it is the Qiang people or the Wei people, we can crush all the way." Fu Chen nodded repeatedly, full of praise for Gaoqiao's saddle and double-sided stirrups .

Liu Yin smiled slightly and ordered: "Command the troops to clean up the battlefield immediately and prepare to march into Xiangwu."

Fu Zhu took the order and left.

When Liu Yin turned around, he found Wei Xuewu was looking straight ahead without taking his eyes off, and said, "Xue Wu, why are you looking so engrossed?"

Wei Xuewu came back to his senses, with a look of admiration, and said: "I never thought that two insignificant harnesses could play such a big role, even the Qiang cavalry who are known as the invincible Western Xinjiang It has become vulnerable. The weakest Ji Han cavalry in the world has become so sharp, General, you can turn decay into magic with this hand!"

Looking at the real thing alone, the saddle and stirrups are not exquisite, even a bit vulgar, but when equipped on the horseback, the fighting ability displayed is extraordinary, no wonder Wei Xuewu was amazed.

It was just a simple improvement. The ordinary saddle was replaced by a Takahashi saddle, and the single-sided stirrup was replaced by a double-sided stirrup. The era of warfare dominated by cavalry will also be born.
