Different from other contemporary cavalry - because the knights are assisted by saddles and shackles, the soldiers on horseback can fully free their hands, and the weapons are no longer limited to one-handed swords.
With saddles, they can fight with pole weapons.
Each of the 10,000 brave cavalry troops carries a six-foot-long horse spear (equivalent to about 5.3 meters), which can be used for charging into the formation.
Coupled with the fact that the horses wear fine iron masks and leather half-vests - whether they are cavalry hedging or charging infantry, the Cavalry has a considerable advantage.
Ge Suyi originally looked down upon this kind of 'crooked ways', but after several drills, he was completely blown away by the power of this 'lance'...
The soldiers of the Knight Cavalry lowered their bodies, thrust their spears straight forward, and sprinted with all their strength... Even a weighted straw man as heavy as a sandbag could be knocked away by one shot.
And because the sergeants of the Knight Cavalry have the blessing of saddles, as long as they clamp their legs tightly, they don't have to worry about being thrown off the horse by such a huge force.
Gesu Yiren was dumbfounded.
Although he is brutal, he is not stupid - such impact can make any enemy who dares to block it be penetrated on the spot. Even the most powerful heavy infantry arrayed in formation cannot stop the full-speed sprint of the Knight Cavalry.
If there is a battle with the cavalry of Qin, Zhao and other countries in the future, if the enemy does not understand such tactics... During the decisive battle of the cavalry, the enemy will suffer a big loss in an instant!
All in all, the Cavalry is a powerful unit that perfectly combines archers and melee cavalry.
It not only has long-range killing capabilities like dimensionality reduction strikes, but also has powerful charge combat capabilities.
Ge Suyi knows that once such cavalry is put into actual combat, it will surely rewrite the history of future cavalry development!
The sergeants of the Knight Cavalry now have considerable confidence in themselves... Although they are covetous of the military achievements and trophies of Quyang's new army, they believe that when they take action in the future, they will definitely achieve a huge victory.

Compared with the large number of soldiers, Xiong Wuliang's harvest this time was only one photo seal.
Regardless of what King Chu Huai promised to "expand a fiefdom for you in the future", after all, it was just a verbal promise and could not be fulfilled.
The seal of the State of Qi was placed in front of Xiong Wuliang. His eyes were dull, as if he was in a daze.
Zhao Hua coughed lightly: "My lord, do you really plan to hibernate in the fief for the rest of your life?"
Xiong Wuliang came back to his senses and smiled happily: "Why not?"
Isn't this the day Xiong Wuliang has been dreaming of?
Now that the Chu State has become stronger and stronger, there is no longer a sense of panic... The next days are to marry more wives in the fiefdom, create a football team of children, and then eat and drink every day...
In terms of money, there is definitely no need to worry about food and clothing - with Ping'agang here, even if Quyang Hou's lineage lives and drinks for generations, they will be rich enough within a hundred years.
There is no need to worry about other nobles coming to bully others - with the Pingnan Sword in hand, anyone who dares to make a fuss will be chopped off with one sword.
I wonder if this is the dream life of many working young people?
Zhao Hua was a little unwilling... As Xiong Wuliang's confidant, he also had some knowledge of Qu Yuan's sinister plan.
As Xiong Wuliang's ministers, of course they all hope that their Qu Yanghou can "go further".
Qu Yuan's wish was that after Xiong Wuliang ascended to 'that position', he could carry out drastic and comprehensive reforms in the Chu State and promote the policies piloted in the fiefdom to the whole country...
Even if Zhao Hua and others don't have such great ambitions, at least their status will rise after Xiong Wuliang takes over.
"The Lord has elite soldiers under his command, as well as sufficient food and salary and the support of the people... and the academy is in hand, so the reserve officials don't have to worry... he can do great things!" Zhao Hua tried to persuade -
"Now that the Lord is young, he has the intention of retiring... Zhao Hua feels that it is inappropriate!"
Xiong Wuliang smiled lazily and was noncommittal.
How could he be willing to do so?
I would like to ask which Chinese man does not have the ambition to dominate the country?
However, Prince Mi Heng's attitude was obviously resistant... He had even had murderous intentions towards himself... If he wanted to conquer the Quartet again, he would undoubtedly arouse more jealousy and suspicion.
No matter how much he confesses his feelings, there will never be less suspicion - you see, Yue Wumu has engraved loyalty and service to the country on his back, wouldn't Wanyan Gou be equally suspicious?
Because superiors never judge loyalty—they only judge strength.
If your strength is enough to pose a threat to them, then they will regard you as a thorn in their side even if you are loyal and loyal; and if you are not strong enough, they may not be willing to pay attention to you even if you are ambitious.
Because in this era, political power and military power can be inherited - your loyalty can be learned every day, but it does not mean that your son, grandson, or great-grandson can also be learned every day.
Therefore, a powerful official is born to be jealous of the king, no matter how unambitious or loyal and reliable the powerful official is - if he has strength, it is the original sin.
So if Xiong Wuliang continues to be active... in the long run, conflicts and contradictions will become more and more serious.
Do you want to kill Mi Heng and take the position yourself?
Although Xiong Wuliang has always had no conscience, he really can't do such a thing... It's not a pedantic idea of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism. To us, Marquis Quyang, that concept is pure nonsense.
The main thing is that King Chu Huai confided in him and even gave him the Pingnan Sword of Zhenguo.
If his uncle had so much trust in him, wouldn't it be so disrespectful to rebel against his son?
"I have been fighting for half my life, can't I enjoy it?" Xiong Wuliang stretched his body in an old-fashioned manner.
Zhao Hua was so shocked that stars appeared in his eyes.
He was always known for his quick wit, but now faced with Xiong Wuliang, who looked tired and just wanted to retire and lie down, he couldn't think of any solution for a while.
I can only leave and go to Qu Yuan for an idea...
…
As soon as Zhao Hua stepped away, Xiao Yi poked her head out of the door.
Xiong Wu felt funny in his conscience and pretended not to see it.
Xiaoyi walked in quietly, and then pounced on Xiong Wuliang... A gust of fragrant wind came, and the place where she started was warm, soft and smooth.
Xiaoyi, dressed in green, leaned against Xiong Wuliang and giggled.
Marquis Quyang chuckled, pressed Si Yi on his leg, and started to fight...
Now that they have been together for a long time, Xiaoyi no longer has awe for Xiong Wuliang. Even if Xiong Wuliang is a fool, he will not blush to the point of his neck like he did at the beginning... many times he will be as childish as before. Di took the initiative to pounce on her, acting like a coquettish little daughter.
Xiaoyi lay on Xiong Wuliang's lap, held down Xiong Wuliang's erratic hand, and laughed a little narrowly.
Xiong Wuliang was so laughed that he felt a little scared: "Why don't you run?"
Siyi licked her lips, her beautiful eyes sparkling, narrowed into a smile, her long and straight eyelashes trembling: "What? The more I struggle, the more excited you become?"
This rhetorical question actually stopped Qu Yanghou, who wanted to turn into a pervert——
