Samsara: Open? The Boss Only Relies On Himself!

52. Even If There Are 500,000 Pigs, 10,000 Cavalrymen Will Be Exhausted To Cut Them Down (Seeking Fl

In the seventh year of the Great Qin Dynasty, Yingzheng appointed the prince Lin Luo as the general who conquered the north to conquer the nomads in the north.

In terms of executive power, in the entire feudal dynasty era, no dynasty can say with certainty that it must surpass Daqin. When Daqin, the war machine, was mobilized, it was quite terrifying.

A steady stream of military supplies began to be dispatched to the north.

The First Emperor gave Lin Luo half a month to prepare, and after half a month, he was going to the border.

Coming out of Xianyang Palace, Lin Luo went to the Royal Academy of Sciences and brought back some things.

"Is this iron armor?"

In Prince's Mansion, Han Xin was amazed when he saw what Lin Luo brought back.

He hammered it a few times with his hand, "It's indeed iron armor, and it's all high-quality iron, it's a good thing."

These days, the price of iron is not low, and the soldiers of Daqin still mainly use bronze weapons and armor. Even Han Xin, who has seen a lot of advanced things with Lin Luo, is full of surprise.

"Your Highness, what you said before can be mass-produced, isn't it this?"

Daqin's bronze smelting and forging technology reached its pinnacle, even when it was slashed against iron weapons.

The tough and smart Daqin craftsmen have even begun to chrome-plate weapons.

That is a product that only existed in the era of industrialized civilization.

However, in this era, copper production was limited and could not meet the needs of the army.

Moreover, at present, many of the soldiers of Daqin are still wearing leather armor, and their protection ability on the battlefield is limited.

This greatly limited the combat effectiveness of the Qin army,

Now that there is a way to mass-produce ironware, it is conceivable that when equipped with iron weapons and wearing iron armor, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army will definitely increase several steps.

"Although the workshop of the Royal Academy of Sciences can already produce on a large scale and has a lot of reserves, but the time is limited, and only about 10,000 sets can be collected before departure."

"In this way, although there are only 10,000 soldiers, their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of an army of 50,000."

Han Xin sighed with emotion, but his face was still full of doubts.

"Your Highness, there are many enemies. Although their hearts are not united, they are an army of more than half a million people. Even if we stand there and let us attack, 10,000 people will not be able to catch them."

I have to say that normally speaking, there is really nothing wrong with his thinking. Even if it is 500,000 pigs, 10,000 people will be exhausted enough to chop them.

"It's okay, I have my own arrangements"

Lin Luo made a fool of himself.

"The Xiongnu, Donghu and others all have a large number of cavalry, and they come and go like the wind." Lin Luo took a few steps forward and came to a pile of iron objects of different shapes. "

"This time the enemy will definitely give full play to their advantages. They will not fight head-on with the sharp soldiers of the Qin army with powerful crossbows. Instead, they will make full use of their maneuverability. If we cannot catch up with them, we will definitely fail. Therefore, although Meng Tian has three There are 100,000 troops, but more than 200,000 are infantry. The best strategy is to rely on the Great Wall to defend. If you want to take the initiative to attack and really defeat the enemy, you can only rely on cavalry.”

Han Xin was silent.

Although Daqin had cavalry, the cavalry only really played a role in the Battle of Changping that year, when five thousand cavalry cut off Zhao Kuo's food supply.

However, in the later wars of destroying the country, most of the time, the cavalry only appeared as surprise soldiers or auxiliary soldiers.

On the one hand, it is because the technical requirements of cavalry are higher, and the time period for training cavalry is too long. On the other hand, the combat thinking of the army is still in the past and has not been completely transformed.

Lin Luo is naturally very clear about this. So he has other plans.

"These are the artifacts to strengthen the cavalry!"

"Your Highness, what is this?"

Han Xin looked suspiciously at some iron plates and stirrups on the ground.

"Three Artifacts of the Cavalry!"

Looking at the puzzled eyes of his number one general, Lin Luo didn't talk nonsense, and asked someone to lead a horse over.

Then two craftsmen were called in to shoe the horse.

Lin Luo personally placed the saddles and stirrups on the backs of these majestic horses.

In this era, the cavalry war horses of the Qin State had saddles, bridles and reins on the horses' heads, but they were still inferior to mature saddles and stirrups.

Lin Luo invented this kind of thing a long time ago, but it has been kept secret. Even the horses of his guards are not equipped with these, just to keep it secret.

After all, the world is very complicated. If the northern nomads knew about this kind of thing in advance, Lin Luo would definitely not want to see it.

Several workshops of the Royal Academy of Sciences are under the control of Lin Luo. He has people secretly build them and has prepared thousands of sets in advance. Now, Daqin, the war machine, is fully mobilized, the workshop is running at full capacity, and production is streamlined. Wait a few more days, and 10,000 sets of equipment will not be a big problem.

"Go, walk around the Martial Arts Field"

There is a small Martial arts arena in the Prince's Mansion, and Lin Luo asked people to throw some broken items in the Martial arts arena.

"Get on the horse and run a few laps"

Han Xinxin already had some guesses in his heart, and he galloped around the martial arts field on horseback.

After running several laps, he dismounted happily and looked at the horse's hooves.

"Your Highness, this is indeed a divine tool. This small piece of iron not only protects the horse's hooves, but also the things on the horse's back are of great use. Even if you are a beginner, you will not fall off when you get on the horse. Moreover, when fighting, With these artifacts, it is definitely a lot more convenient.”

"In the past, there were cavalry in various countries, but many horses could not fight because their hooves were cracked, and it took a long time to train a cavalry. Now that we have these three things, not only the consumption of horses has been greatly reduced, the key It is the time to train cavalry that is greatly reduced.”

There was light in his eyes: "Not only that, but it also increases the horse's stamina and endurance. Even in harsh terrains such as deserts, mountains, and bushes, it can walk like flying."

"Your Highness, these three things of yours have cleared the way for Daqin to equip cavalry on a large scale. This is definitely an unprecedented revolution!"

Han Xin was very excited. As a master of military art and strategy, he has a good understanding of the three cavalry artifacts. It has to be said that Han Xin's strategic vision in the military is very unique. He immediately thought of many uses for the three items that Lin Luo took out.

In the future, facing those nomads who come and go freely, Daqin no longer needs to defend with infantry, but can take the initiative to attack

The combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Qin Army equipped with these equipments is definitely several times that of the Huns and others.

Not only that, even in the Baiyue area to the south of Great Qin, the cavalry can walk like flying and sweep away powerful enemies.
