Liu Yu nodded: "Thank you very much, brother."
Tan Pingzhi's loud voice came from the distance: "Ah Shou's swelling has gone down, Ah Shou's swelling has gone down, thank God!" Soon, the entire Feibao camp began to cheer.
A strange smile flashed in Murong Nan's eyes: "Look, everything will get better, Liu Yu, you have to believe that the future is bright."
Liu Yu smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief: "The light is ahead!"
Five days later, three miles outside the Feibao military camp, there was a dense forest.
Murong Nan put his fingers into his mouth, and there was a sharp whistle. The corners of Liu Yu's mouth curled up, and his legs suddenly clamped together. The tall horse under him let out a long hiss, and the man in front of him stood up with two hoofs. , and then stepped heavily on the ground, raising waves of dust and wrapping Liu Yu's whole body in it.
Murong Nan smiled slightly, rode forward, and ran in front of Liu Yu in a few seconds. While looking at Liu Yu who was undressing the black blindfold, he smiled and said: "It's really good. In just a few days, You can actually practice riding a horse blindfolded without hitting a tree in the forest. Liu Yu, did you know how to ride a horse before and deliberately pretended not to?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly and patted the neck of his yellow horse: "How many times have I told you, I have only ridden a cow before, but never a horse. However, the principles of riding a cow and riding a horse are similar. Yes, just hold the mount’s abdomen with your legs, and then maintain the balance of your upper body, and..."
Having said this, he patted the saddle under his crotch, stepped on the stirrups on both sides of the saddle, and stood up directly, almost flush with the branches: "With these stirrups, you can worry less, so that your feet can With the support point, you can do a lot of movements on the horse without relying solely on leg strength."
Liu Yu looked at Murong Nan: "I didn't know why the Northern Huqi were so powerful. They could run fast, shoot on horses, and break into formations. Now I understand. It turns out that this saddle is used as a weapon. The props and stirrups can be used, which is really labor-saving. If I can ride for half a year, I can even sleep on the horse, but it is much easier than walking as an infantryman."
Murong Nan nodded: "Yes, this is the advantage of the northern Huqi's high mobility. The vast grassland outside the Great Wall is just like the thousands of miles of farmland of your Han people, but what grows are horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock. There are only tens of thousands of horses. In our place, maybe a slightly larger tribe has more than this many war horses. Therefore, we northern knights can often ride two horses or even three horses, and we can take turns to ride them to save horse power. "
Liu Yu sighed: "No wonder your cavalry can march two to three hundred miles day and night. It turns out that it is like this. It seems that if it has the advantages of mobility, our Han army's mixed vehicle and infantry troops will be difficult to match."
However, Liu Yu still curled up his lips: "But our Han army also has advantages. Our armored soldiers are sharp and our bows are strong and our crossbows are fast. After all, we can only use bows for this galloping shooting. If we shoot head-on, we still have an advantage." .”
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head. He suddenly jumped up and flew into the air, jumping between several big trees. When he jumped back on the horse again, he already had several long sticks in his hand. Branches covered with leaves.
Liu Yu frowned: "What are you doing?"
Murong Nan didn't answer. He hung these branches on the horse's tail. With a shout, the horse jumped up. Soon, the forest was filled with smoke and dust. Where could you see Murong Nan's true body? ?
Liu Yu's brows gradually furrowed. Although Murong Nan didn't say a word, his meaning was clearly expressed. Yes, this horse alone can make the entire forest disappear when it hangs a branch. Even on the battlefield, just releasing a few dozen horses can cover a front four to five miles wide with smoke. The number, scale, and direction of attack of the enemy's cavalry are beyond the ability of our infantry formation to observe. It should be clear that this is completely different from the infantry fighting method of fighting face to face, shooting and shooting in broad daylight.
While Liu Yuzheng was thinking, he heard a long "hush" sound, and accompanied by the sound of the horse's "hush", Murong Nan stopped in front of him with his horse and man, and said with a smile: "How is it, on the battlefield?" Come on, can you see clearly where I come from?"
Liu Yu nodded: "This method of raising dust is indeed powerful, but no matter what, I only need to defend the front with a long phalanx, and then use strong bows and crossbows to shoot against the cavalry. I still have an advantage."
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "Do you think you can block the cavalry's assault by forming a formation?"
Liu Yu said confidently: "What's so difficult about this? As long as the elite infantry fight in formation, cavalry like you, who are cavalry in a casual attack, can't attack. After all, we are shoulder to shoulder, with people on top of each other, and we are as motionless as a mountain. You cavalry attack It’s impossible to crowd together when you’re in the wild, and when you’re facing a long row of trees, even if people aren’t afraid of death, horses will be.”
Murong Nan sighed: "Liu Yu, Liu Yu, you are just too confident. You have been riding a horse for a few days. Don't you know that you can use your strength to perform various difficult movements on a horse? ?”
Liu Yu frowned: "It's not difficult to move and dodge on a horse without falling off, but I still don't believe in the dense long-step formation attacking the enemy on the battlefield."
Murong Nan smiled and ran towards the outside of the forest. About a mile away from the forest, he pulled out a riding spear. This was the one he had stuck in the ground for the past few days but had never used: "Okay. , let me show you the impact of a cavalry assault!"
Murong Nan picked up the riding spear. Liu Yu looked at the spear in his hand motionlessly. He had been paying attention to this weapon in the past few days. He saw that the spear was about one foot and four feet long (more than four meters long). , almost two and a half people tall, and the pole is different from ordinary wooden poles. I don’t know what material it is made of. It is painted with various patterns on the outside. It is so long that it is sandwiched between Murong Nan. The armpits extend forward, but they are almost straight. There is no need to hang a small copper block at one end to maintain the level like Bu Shu did.
Just when Liu Yu was surprised, he heard Murong Nan shouting in a deep voice: "Watch it, let me show you the power of the cavalry assault! Let's... take it!"
The brown war horse under Murong Nan's seat shook its head for a while and began to move forward slowly, first at a slow walk, then at a trot, and then gradually began to speed up, getting faster and faster. After more than a hundred steps, It turned into a full-speed impact, and the war horse's hooves were flying, bringing up pieces of soil, and a long dragon-like black smoke rose behind it, while Murong Nan stood up directly from the horse's stirrups and raised his hand. Standing forward, his white cloak flew up in the wind, making him look like he was flying, and his roaring voice resounded throughout the world: "Fuck!" chapter;
