The cavalry of the Golden Army is not considered the most prosperous period. The use of cavalry is the most mature and peak period. It is the powerful cavalry under the command of Genghis Khan in the unification of Mongolia. He perfected the tactics of the cavalry to the extreme, using heavy cavalry and light cavalry to cooperate with each other, archers shooting and galloping, as long as 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses, he can systematically destroy tens of thousands of enemy troops.
The power of the Mongols is that they invented the super great bow! It is a kind of longbow, which is characterized by its ability to shoot far and strong penetrating power. In addition, the Mongols absorbed Han artisans and made various firearms and siege weapons for them. This allowed the powerful Mongolian army to capture most of the Eurasian continent.
Therefore, both bows and arrows and crossbows are Zhao Zhen urging the arsenal to produce quickly, and long-range weapons are the future development direction of the Xinwangjun cavalry.
A few days later, according to Zhao Zhen's intention, all the cavalry of the Royal Guards and the Imperial Guards began to officially change their outfits. Among them, the Guards were dressed in Bluestone City, which is under Zhao Zhen's eyelids. The other six armies of the Janissary Guard changed their outfits in their respective defense zones.
The original Xinwangjun cavalry, each had a cavalry spear, a saber, a breastplate, a skirt armor, and a small shield.
There are a lot of new things posted now. Each person has a round helmet, a scary mask, the breastplate and skirt are unchanged, and the small shield is replaced by a shield knife and a shield stab. Short leather boots, two leggings rope.
In addition, the long weapon of all cavalry remains unchanged, or saber or spear, but two long arc knives are added. Everyone was equipped with a light crossbow, and a few people were equipped with a heavy crossbow. This heavy crossbow is an authentic crossbow, one arrow can reach one hundred and fifty steps, and can penetrate iron armor. This is the power of the crossbow. It is a pity that although this kind of crossbow is powerful, it is too heavy. Generally speaking, with the exception of such fierce men as Zhao Zhen, Yan Chengfang, Di Lei, and Beast, few people can use their hands and pedals. It can be kicked off.
Zhao Zhen now wants people to study a new type of iron-armed crossbow, but this is not to say that it can be made by making it. It takes time. Of course, it needs to be improved. Because if it is just replaced with an iron arm, it is not difficult. The difficult thing is that Zhao Zhen has to add a small mechanism to the crossbow, which can pull gears to increase the force, and can easily shoot arrows for bursts. If a crossbow cannot be wound at will, how to increase the rate of fire, if it can only be used by infantry, what's the point? Zhao Zhen wanted a cavalry crossbow. For this, he did not hesitate to let the craftsmen reduce the range and power of the iron crossbow.
But now, Zhao Zhen must send this kind of wooden crossbow to his men. He sent out 10,000 light crossbows in one go, plus long bows, heavy crossbows, throwing knives and javelins. This just gives each cavalry soldier a long range. arms. Although these light crossbows were fast-winding, they could have a short range, and when they were about to shoot an arrow, I was afraid that the opposing cavalry would kill them. However, the cost is cheap and the mass production speed is fast.
Of course, what Zhao Zhen prepared for most soldiers was the easiest bow to make. These bows were made by Zhao Zhenling at the Qingshicheng Armory. They are not expensive glued bows. Zhao Zhen made straight bows. This kind of bow is simple and easy to make, just use good oak wood for processing. Pulling on the beef tendon is very powerful, and it can shoot seven or eighty steps at once. There is only one problem, this kind of bow is too powerful, not so easy to open.
Zhao Zhen and Zhugeying stand side by side on a mountain bag. Di Lei and Zhao Xiaoren, who were dozens of feet away behind Zhao Zhen, "followed" them. Zhao Ying and Zhugeying watched the soldiers in the valley happily playing with their weapons. For soldiers, there are new weapons and new armor, which is the guarantee of life and the capital of meritorious service. Although all this meant going to the battlefield, the soldiers of the Royal Army who had experienced many wars didn't care.
Because the soldiers already knew that the powerful concubine Gao Pang was the invincible King Zhao Zhen. His Royal Highness Invincible Xinwang was with them and fighting together. As long as there is a battlefield for the King of Letters, the army of Kings of Letters will go mad and have a high spirit of fighting, and they are not afraid of any hard fight. Because they know that Zhao Zhen, the king of faith, who is both civil and military, is invincible in the world and an undefeated myth.
Before he knew it, Zhao Zhen had built up a confidence in his army. For the soldiers and soldiers of the King Thaksin, he is actually a sign, a banner, and a sign of victory.
Zhao Gou saw that the Jin Army was defeated by Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, and even the people in the north of the Jin Kingdom launched a charitable act to prepare to welcome the Yue Family Army going north. However, Zhao Gou was restless. He had to issue twelve consecutive gold medal orders to make Yue Fei come back and send Qin Hui to kill Yue Fei. Is it because Yue Fei is really so terrible? Of course not. A patriotic martial artist, loyal to the people and the country, is just a minister who protects Song Guozuo.
But the problem is that his reputation for loyalty shakes everyone, and his reputation is so great. As long as he is still alive, the hearts of the people will turn to Yue Fei, and the hearts of the people will be firmly tied to Yue Fei's body. Zhao Gou believes that his imperial power may be subverted by Yue Fei at any time!
Zhao Zhen may not be as upright as the emperor Zhao Gou now, and he has not as many soldiers as Zhao Gou. The people under Zhao Gou's rule are only 20% of the people under Zhao Gou's rule, but who is he? The Prince Song who is struggling with all his might! His fame has now let Jin Guo know about this man, and he regards him as a great enemy. Perhaps now the reputation of the faithful king Zhao Zhen for being brave has only spread for the first time. People know that there is such a prince who is dedicated to fighting against gold. In the two countries of Song and Jin, most of them knew that the king of faith, Zhao Zhen, was powerful and an enemy of 10,000 people.
So Zhao Zhen is confident to win. Not only that, he will not only use the power of the Han people when he walks on the road to destroying gold in the future. Because he incorporated the Fan army, he can also lead the Fan tribe to fight against gold and destroy gold in the future.
Facing the letter to the king's army, Yan Jammu was afraid of him after Jindu had reunified, and she was not attacking. Once Zhao Zhen fights over, what will happen is really hard to say. It also shows that Zhao Zhenzhiyong is famous and powerful.
Minorities outside the customs only believe in brave warriors. The patriarchs of their tribes are generally held by the warriors of the tribe. In some small tribes, if a tribe elder is old and the son has nothing to do, then he will find the brave of the tribe to give up his seat. Of the tribe, an incompetent person must never be the patriarch! If the patriarch does not do this, the warrior may kill him and take his position as patriarch.
At the beginning, the Jurchen caught the beast, but he was not willing to kill him, because the beast was a warrior and a powerful person. If not, he would have died long ago.
With the background of Prince Zhao Zhenda Song, coupled with his personal force, once he has played his prestige and displayed his aura, then he will seize the rights of the Khitan, Bohai, and Xi people and other tribes to destroy the Golden State. In fact, it is not difficult and not surprising. All this lies in whether you do it or not, as long as you do it, you may succeed.
"Are you sure to defeat Jin Jun?" Zhugeying asked Zhao Zhen. In response to this, Zhao Zhen pondered for a while, and then said: "You have also learned the art of war. When you know about swordsmanship, how can you say it with full confidence, but I have full confidence!"
Zhugeying took a deep breath and said, "Remember your promise, and I will gamble with you. I want to become a general. You must not fail until you realize my wish!"
The craftsman arsenal is here. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You are doing a good job. In a few days, you have already got things done. What else is there?" The arsenal manager hurriedly bowed his head and smiled: "Master, the young one is here to tell you. The people below have already refined the prince’s magic weapon!"
Zhao Zhen's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Where, get it up!" Zhao Zhenguang has short-armed Guanghua double swords, but no suitable long weapons. Often after a battle, his pure iron spear was first scrapped. So he needs to have his own strong soldier! This is the same as Lu Bu's Fang Tian Huaji! Li Yuanba's eight-sided purple gold hammer, and other peerless masters are the same as peerless magical soldiers.
Two sturdy craftsmen came carrying the magic weapon Zhao Zhen wanted. The long image of this weapon should be regarded as a gun, about one foot in length. The tail of the gun is a slap-length spike with a blood groove. The gun body is engraved with several blood letting grooves running through the whole body of the gun. The lines of the earth, such huge blood troughs, are enough to drain the blood of an adult's whole body in an instant. On the head of the gun, a tassel made of horsetail mane is pierced under the tip of the gun. Above the tassel is a small arm-long blade. The tip of the gun is a bit big with countless inverted barbed hooks. Because the whole gun is made of alloy steel, it has added various tough and hard metals and rare elements, so that the sharp gun has a purple-golden light. It is really a magic weapon!
In fact, this gun is divided into two parts, and the gun head and the gun body can be separated. This is a no-brainer. Because Zhao Zhen went to the battlefield to tear and kill, he mainly relied on long weapons. In the ten thousand horses, fighting armor and piercing shields was very costly on the cutting edge of the weapon. The tip of the gun is a must.
After Zhao Zhen painted it, they shot it out, and worked hard. Of course, this gun was very heavy and two people had to carry it. Zhao Zhen copied it in her hand and calculated it mentally. It was about 80 kilograms, which is equivalent to the weight of a bag and a half of white flour.
This weapon radiated a hint of purple light as a whole, and the sharp blade on the tip and tail of the spear shone with cold light. On the battlefield, who can stop such an artifact gun? With Zhao Zhen's strength, he opened his hands, really knocked to death, knocked to death.
Seeing such a magical soldier, Zhao Zhen couldn't help it. He stretched out his hand and took off his coat and robe with his favorite, revealing the naked muscles of his upper body. The muscles were beating as if they were alive, and Zhao Zhen liked such a gun very much. Zhao Zhen will make this magic weapon feel alive.
This gun was originally a murder weapon. When Zhao Zhen danced, he could only hear the heavy wind from the gun. With Zhao Zhen's dancing, the gun body and the air made a "whoop" sound, and there was a sound of vibration in the air. Zhao Zhen fired his guns again and again, and the wind was strong, bringing out a little bit of chill. The people watching around couldn't stop backing away. The craftsmen also turned pale. They all know the weight of the gun, and they also know that most people can't dance at all. But the gun flew left and right in Zhao Zhen's hand, flying up and down from his front, back and forth, like a real dragon hovering beside his god, driving left and right.
Zhao Zhenwu stopped for a while, and plunged the tail of the gun into the ground, piercing the gun deeply into the ground. Zhao Zhen looked at her weapon, and her satisfaction was beyond words.
The weight and feel of this gun are excellent. And Zhao Zhen could feel that he had a tacit understanding with this gun, allowing him to reach the realm of a super master where heaven and man are one, man and spear are one.
Zhao Zhen said to the arsenal manager: "What's the name of this gun?" The arsenal manager bent down and smiled: "Of course this is the name of the king, Chitose!"
Zhao Zhen looked at this gun and liked it very much. The corners of her mouth were slightly tilted and she said, "Okay, I will name it. From now on, this gun will be called the'Great Dragon'!" As soon as this word came out, all People thoughtful.
After a while, Zhuge Ying said: "What a big and medium dragon, your majesty, I remember your pair of swords are called Guanghua Double Swords. Your two weapons mean Everbright China. With this, you have this battle. Two more points! I believe it won’t take long for your brave name to become famous in the world again with this magic weapon!"
Because the people of Song and Han people called themselves China, also called China. In the Song Dynasty, when it comes to China, it was also the Song Dynasty. Of course, although some xenophobics describe the Han people in Liaodong as the Han people in Fanbang, the Han people in the Song Dynasty at that time have already begun to call themselves people with names such as China and Zhonghua. Therefore, Zhugeying still understands the meaning of Zhao Zhen's two weapons named Guangda China.
Solving the problem of the name of the weapon, Zhao Zhen ordered the soldiers to familiarize themselves with his weapon. At the same time, Zhao Zhen announced to the soldiers that after the battle started, all cavalry could be upgraded.
The lowest rank is the general cavalry, followed by the intermediate cavalry and the advanced cavalry, and their salaries are different. Then came the Cavaliers. Those who are promoted to knights can be promoted to squadrons or even chiefs. After being promoted to a great knight, you can be promoted to the military post of Dutou and Small Colonel. Proved by the chief officer, the number of ordinary cavalry killed is five, the average cavalry can be killed, the number of kills is ten, the intermediate knight, the number of kills is 30, and the senior cavalry enjoys all the benefits of advanced cavalry. If you die in battle, you will be remembered by a memorial with a name carved on a monument, and will receive the incense of the follow-up soldiers. If there is a family before the death of the battle, their family members will receive tax-free subsidies to ensure that the family members have nothing to worry about.
Don't underestimate this kind of class treatment. The low-level cavalry is also the general-level cavalry, just like the average soldier's salary. The intermediate cavalry is 30% higher, and the senior cavalry is twice as high! As for the higher knights, they will directly become the head of the corps and the leader, with more and more salaries.
At the same time, before the war, Zhao Zhen continued to be his own way of deceiving people. Since the beginning of Wuma Mountain, Zhao Zhen has taken the responsibility of fooling soldiers. Zhao Zhen made some propaganda about the Jinbing. He talked and talked like rumors, saying that Jinbing and Han soldiers were not worried and were easy to kill. If they are themselves, one person can kill twenty. If they obey the order and follow the orders, it is very easy to kill a hundred enemies! And the Jurchen who was a serious man, killed one more than the other two gold soldiers.
In fact, what Zhao Zhen said seemed like that, but it was indeed true. If it fought, the current Jin Army would definitely not be able to face Zhao Zhen with the same strength. Even the purebred Jurchen Golden Soldier, fighting Zhao Zhen head-on, is 50-50. It doesn't count as Zhao Zhen's personal bravery to improve his morale, and Zhao Zhen never fights the golden soldiers or fights large-scale frontal wars, only sneak attacks and surprise attacks!
After Zhao Zhen propagated to the army, what was left was the propaganda generals and mobilization generals composed of the little widows, beautiful girls, and talkative men.
Zhao Zhen returned to the main tower of the fort. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw the military training plan in front of Zhugeying. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "How do you feel?"
Zhugeying knew what he meant, so it depends on his own insight. She said: "I have seen it all. The training volume of the recruits has increased a little bit, especially since there is also a long-distance running training that lasts for a month. This is for the training of rapid marches!"
Zhao Zhen was amazed in her heart. He is an expert, and he can tell the truth when he says it. Compared with that time, it is not easy to understand this truth. At that time, where was the reason for running in a hurry? In that case, people can't stand it, and they will run faster than the cavalry. How did the 25,000-mile Long March come out? How did the U.S. support vehicle with feet more than the Bald Army achieve it? Often ran out in a rush!
Zhao Zhen said: "The Jin army is strong, especially the Jurchens who are mostly cavalry. The army fights, the first is to focus on mobility, and the military abolishment of the Song army is slowly advancing, isn't it because Yi missed the military plane. Many times, The Song army hadn’t reacted yet, and the Jin army attacked thousands of miles away in an instant. In war, mobility is the key!"
Zhugeying smiled and said: "The prince said that, in the eyes of my Great Song State, the army is tens of thousands, 100,000, or even 200,000 troops. In fact, the real main battle force here is nothing but tens of thousands, 100,000, or even 200,000 troops. There are tens of thousands of people. The rest are mostly heavy-duty arms. These soldiers are good at transporting food and building battalions, but they can’t even fight wars. It’s not easy to bring these many things and start a war. Yes. At that time, the army was confronted with the enemy outside, and had to transport grain from the rear to the front line, so the speed was certain. But in truth, most of the time the army fights is spent on the road, and the two armies really The time required for the duel is not very long."
Speaking of this, Zhugeying scanned Zhao Zhen, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that this boy is really only 18 or 9 years old? She continued: "My lord is good at calculating here. Soldiers only bring clothes and quilts, salt, dry food and dry meat, plus weapons and armor. It weighs only about 50 catties. This weight is not too bad for soldiers. You can afford to eat, and adults train soldiers to march. It is really the best policy. I believe that the adults will train these soldiers and it will be surprising!"
