When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 320 Startled salamander: Well, it's not daytime

The sound of rumbling horseshoes came from a distance, and the people at the head of Yanshi City finally relaxed when they saw the Habayashi riding back laughing as if they had bathed in a river of blood.

After all, it was the first time that heavy cavalry appeared in an organized way in this era, and no one knew what their combat effectiveness was.

And the [-] Yulin cavalry raided the [-] Wei army. Although the cavalry has natural restraint against the infantry, for this era that has not yet invented horses such as stirrups and horseshoes, the lethality of the cavalry is far from that of later generations. powerful.

Without stirrups as a supporting point and an auxiliary tool for fixing the body, the use of two-handed weapons by cavalry is not only easy to fall off the horse, but also insufficient in strength.

Therefore, the main weapons of the cavalry are three-foot long swords and crossbows that do not need to be swung with all their strength.

However, due to the lack of strength, the three-foot long sword in the hands of the cavalry is slightly insufficient for the damage to the armor, and the armor-piercing ability is slightly weaker, far inferior to the lethality of the bow and crossbow. What is more difficult to train is riding and shooting.

Therefore, it is inevitable that everyone is so worried about the surprise attack of the [-] Wei army by the three thousand Yulin cavalry without the cover and support of infantry.

Fortunately, this Habayashi rider not only returned safely, but judging from the horse's head and the heads hanging on both sides of the horse's belly, it was obviously a big victory.

"Congratulations to the general on his return from victory!"

A burst of uniform congratulations brought Zhang Ji back from his thoughts to reality, but Zhang Ji just waved his hand, without much joy on his face, and returned to the camp alone.

And Zhang Ji's performance can't help but make people a little puzzled.

Obviously it was a big victory, and [-] Wei troops were hit hard with [-] cavalry. Why did Wei Wei seem to be a little depressed instead?
Maybe just like the indifferent Mr. Wu An in the past, great talents in the world have their own weird tempers.

But even if Zhang Ji is like this, he must not conceal the fact of this great victory. Thanks to the [-] shi of grain, grass and various vegetables, fruits and meat prepared in advance at the request of Zhang Ji, this celebration feast is quite rich. The fly in the ointment is that alcohol is not allowed during the war.

In Zhang Ji's big tent, he did not participate in the celebration of the crowd, and Zhang Ji still put on a dirty face.

In this battle, he was the only one who did not set foot on the battlefield. He just quietly watched the changes in the battlefield on the hill.

It seems that there are only about 5000 soldiers of the Wei army who can move and flee.

This is not to say that Habayashi's cavalry beheaded [-] Wei soldiers, but that many Wei soldiers were seriously injured and unable to move.

He was knocked into the air by nearly half a ton of heavy armored cavalry galloping at high speed, and he was either dead or maimed.

Although Habayashi began to harvest heads after the Wei army fled, and the speed decreased and the impact damage was greatly reduced, it was impossible to get up immediately.

But even so, Habayashi's enemies will not be less than 6000.

This record is not the upper limit of the Habayashi Cavalry, and Zhang Ji must admit that it was his negligence that did not bring out the maximum combat power of the Habayashi Army.

After taking over Habayashi Guard, he spent most of his time either learning the art of war from Li Xin, Qiang Yan, etc., or exchanging martial arts with Jing Xi, Chao Chao, Zhao Ji, etc., ahem, in short, his mind is full of military tactics , Soldier situation, and yin and yang of soldiers, they really forgot about saddles, stirrups and horseshoes.

This era is not without saddles, but the saddles at this time are not so much saddles, such as saddle pads. These saddle pads are shaped like two pillows stuffed with wool and leather on the outside, folded when not in use. When you get up, unfold the low-bridge saddle pads that are placed on both sides of the horse's back and fixed with three straps. The effect is only to make the pawn sit more comfortably.

If the Habayashi riders are all equipped with Takahashi saddles, stirrups and horseshoes today, then with these personal qualities of the Habayashi Tuki who are at least two veterans of the upper ranks of the swordsman, the Habayashi Tuki at least has The ability to break the formation of the Habayashi Tuki who can carry out two charges, and liberate both hands to use the spear to charge the formation is far better than the Habayashi Tuki who uses Qin Jian.

However, what really troubled Zhang Ji was not only that Yubayashi Qi's combat power was not brought to the limit due to his negligence, but that Yubayashi Qi's terrifying combat power completely defeated the Wei army.

The Wei army with a casualty rate of [-]% is obviously impossible to fight anymore, but Zhang Ji's goal has never been to completely defeat this Wei army.

Zhang Ji's purpose is to provoke the relationship between Jin Yao, the only son of Jin Bi, and Wei Wuji.

The position of Jinyao's deputy general was personally appointed by Wei Wangyu, and this appointment was made after Lu Buwei sent a network of spies to spread rumors of Wei Wuji's treasonous intentions in Daliang and bribed many Wei courtiers and Wei Wang's close servants to Wei Wei. It was released after Wang Yujin and Wei Wuji slandered.

It is indeed a clever method to restrain Wei Wuji's military power by Jin Yao, who has the connections and prestige left by Jin Bi in the army, and who has a blood feud with Wei Wuji.Jin Yao is a man who knows the soldiers, and he will not do anything to endanger the army, but he will always keep an eye on Wei Wuji.And Wei Wuji had to endure Jin Yao's surveillance no matter whether he had the intention of treason or not.

Wei Wangyu's technique of check and balance is indeed right, but he didn't choose the right time.

If there is no war in the Wei state, then such a check and balance technique is appropriate, but once the Wei army encounters a war, it will violate the taboo of military strategists.

Since ancient times, there are five constant invincibles: invincible generals, invincible in ignorance, invincible in obedient generals, invincible without time, invincible in unequaled groups.

Wei Wuji, the chief general of the Wei army, could not be trusted by Wei Wangyu. This is the "imperial general". The army is divided into two factions, Wei Wuji and Jin Bi's old troops.

This gave Zhang Ji an opportunity to take advantage of.

Zhang Ji originally planned to rely on the fortified city built by the Mohist inksmiths to hold back the left vanguard army led by Jin Yao, and then let Jin Yao think that it was Wei Wuji who deliberately made things difficult for him. He gave the credit to his confidant and asked him to attack a fortified city that was easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Only then did Zhang Er, Chen Yu's right vanguard army, and Wei Wuji's central army all have secret reports from Jin Bi's former troops to Jin Yao.

But Jin Bi has passed away after all, not every student and old official can have a heart of gratitude to their superiors who promoted them in the past, it must be known that they may not even have a heart of gratitude to their own mother country.

Some people can take refuge in Zhu Hai and Wei Wuji, who hammered and killed their old masters, and some people can take refuge in Qin.

In this era of broken etiquette and music, loyalty, courtesy and righteousness are all extravagant.

These former Jinbi troops who secretly reported to Jinyao had already been ensnared to instigate rebellion.

Their status in the Wei army may not be very high, but relying on the relationship between the former Jin and Bi troops, their letters can affect the relationship between Jin Yao and Wei Wuji, even if they fail to provoke, they will still be in Jin Yao's hands. A seed of doubt was planted in my heart.

Trust is like a mirror, which can reflect all the beautiful things in the world when it is not broken, but once it is broken, no matter how beautiful things are, the image in the mirror is extremely ugly, and it can never be restored.

And Zhang Ji ordered the Yulin Cavalry to attack the Wei army. In fact, he only came with the purpose of frustrating the Wei army and looking for an opportunity to burn the Wei army's luggage. Defend Yanshi City under attack.

It's just... Zhang Ji really didn't expect that Yu Linqi would directly defeat Wei Jun.

Yubayashi Tuqi is the first organized heavy armored cavalry in the world today, and no one knows what kind of combat results the established heavy armored cavalry can cause.

Originally, he had already begun to try to make Jin Yao and Wei Wuji completely break up, but after the first battle, it would be good if Jin Yao could escape the death penalty of defeat. How could he break with Wei Wuji?

Can this not make Zhang Ji not depressed?
Fortunately, there is still someone who can comfort the depressed Zhang Ji.

While everyone was celebrating the big victory, the startled salamander took a look at the sky that had gradually become darker and darker.

Well... not daylight.

In the next moment, several slim figures appeared around the tent.

Glancing at the snare female killers who were snickering secretly, her voice was cold: "Just say that the general has already fallen asleep, and no one is allowed to come in unless there is an urgent military situation."

"Yes~"

Facing the clear and playful eyes of the female killers under his command, the startled salamander flushed slightly, entered Zhang Ji's tent with a light cough, and put down the curtain.
