Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 141 The Cavalry's Nightmare

Zhao Tuo really couldn't imagine how he had just returned to Xianyang, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor actually came to rob him.

First from a centurion to the chief guard of the Prince's Mansion, and now from a centurion to a thousand commander, and still the palace commander, this span really made Zhao Tuo a little confused.

Ying Zheng looked complacent, thinking that Zhao Tuo would definitely be grateful to him, kowtow to thank him, and then let himself cultivate well.

But what Yingzheng didn't expect was that Zhao Tuo refused directly, "Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness, but just now the last general has agreed to become the chief guard of the prince's mansion, so..."

The chief guard of the Prince's Mansion?Has Zhao Yi cut off his beard?Ying Zheng's eyes widened, he subconsciously looked at Zhao Yi, and waved directly.

"It's okay, if you are willing to come to the palace, I can tell the prince now, so you don't need to worry about the prince."

"And I can also let you sit up directly from my personal bodyguard..."

Hiss...Zhao Yi took a deep breath, and Zhang Han was also puzzled. What was going on? Chief of Guards?
This speed of promotion is too exaggerated. Who is this Zhao Tuo, and why is he so valued by His Majesty?

[What happened to the old man, where did he know about Zhao Tuo, why did he meet by such a coincidence? 】

[Could it be that he has been looking for Zhao Tuo?Does Zhao Tuo have a life experience that I don't know about?Can't! 】

[But what do you mean don't worry about me, your personal bodyguard, can you be as awesome as my prince's bodyguard? 】

Zhao Yi was indignant, but Ying Zheng didn't bother to talk to him at all, and Zhao Tuo once again firmly rejected Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, the last general has promised His Royal Highness, please take it back!"

Um?Ying Zheng didn't expect Zhao Tuo to be stubborn, but it's okay to think about it, but he glanced at Zhao Yi with some displeasure, and really couldn't understand that his personal bodyguard is not as good as the prince's mansion chief bodyguard!
Thinking of this, Yingzheng decided to add some trouble to the prince, otherwise he would really feel uncomfortable, "Prince, the war on the western front is coming to an end, don't you think it's time to prepare for Donghu?"

Yingzheng has always been concerned about Donghu's affairs, precisely because he knows that to destroy Donghu, Zhao Tuo must be in command. Otherwise, how could Yingzheng appoint a centurion as his personal bodyguard out of thin air?
As soon as Zhao Yi heard what Ying Zheng said, his heart suddenly slandered.

[The old man is really a war madman. He missed going to the east as soon as he finished fighting in the west, and he didn't want to rest for a while. 】

[Is fighting so fun?Why don't I feel that?Could it be that the old man wants to conquer by himself?If I don't do it well, I will die, but if the old man dies, will I be able to become Qin Er immediately? 】

Evil beast!The hands in Ying Zheng's sleeves were already clenched and bruised, but he had no choice but to endure it.

But Ying Zheng knew very well that he couldn't leave Xianyang lightly, and a mere Donghu was not worthy of his royal conquest.

[Old people don't even look at what season it is now. When the Western Army returns to Xianyang and prepares to march again, I'm afraid it will be almost September!At that time, it will be a fart battle! 】

[When we get to the border of Donghu, I'm afraid it's going to snow. Fighting Donghu in winter, I'm sorry I can't figure it out! 】

[However, if the cotton is ripe and the cotton padded clothes are made, they can go to war, and maybe they can catch Donghu by surprise! 】

cotton?Ying Zheng was very unfamiliar with what Zhao Yi said. After all, cotton was a new thing to the people of Daqin.

But Yingzheng was not interested in cotton, because what Zhao Yi said next completely shocked Yingzheng.

[Of course, sending troops in winter is more suitable for sending out the Mo Dao team. When the Mo Dao comes out, it will be able to chop down the Donghu without leaving any armor...]

Mo Dao?What is that?It sounds great!Ying Zheng was inexplicably excited.

[In ancient and modern wars, infantry versus cavalry basically has no chance of winning. If the cavalry is less than 10,000, it will be invincible in the world, not to mention that Donghu has [-]+ string control men! 】

[When the Donghu cavalry gathers together to charge together, I am afraid that no matter how many Qin troops are there, they will not be able to withstand it. The best way to deal with the Donghu cavalry is to use the horse-cutting sword or the Mo Dao to form a target and chop down those bastards! 】

Zhao Yi's voice instantly brightened Ying Zheng's eyes. He didn't expect the prince to have such insights into the tactics of the barbarians outside the Great Wall.

Because the Hu people outside the Great Wall are nomadic all the year round, they have lived on horseback since they were young. Therefore, they are all born cavalry. Once they gather to form a cavalry policy and let the cavalry run, there is really no rival in the world.

If you want to deal with Hu Qi, there are only two most effective ways. One is to lure the Hu people to a decisive battle with them like Meng Tian did, and use the superiority of the Qin Dynasty to deal a devastating blow to him.

But the problem is that kind of opportunity is rare. Meng Tian was able to beat the Xiongnu last time, to some extent, he relied on some luck.

Therefore, in the eyes of Yingzheng, the most effective way to deal with the barbarian cavalry is to imitate Zhao Wuling Wang Hufu's cavalry and archery, and organize and train his own powerful cavalry, so that he can completely suppress the barbarian cavalry.

But this took too long, and Ying Zheng couldn't afford to wait, so the weapon Zhao Yi talked about made Ying Zheng interested.

According to Zhao Yi, as long as he has the Zhan Ma Jian or Mo Dao, he can directly use infantry to fight against the barbarian cavalry, and he can easily win.

Ying Zheng was a little skeptical about this. Are the so-called horse-killing swords and Mo Dao really that powerful?

At this time, Zhao Yi's heartfelt voice continued to flow into Ying Zheng's mind.

[Zhan Ma Jian and Mo Dao seem to be more than ten feet long, and weigh at least fifty catties, so the Mo Dao camp must be strong warriors, who can smash both men and horses with one blow. 】

[I remember who in the Tang Dynasty led the Modao team and swept the world with only 5000 people. Even in the face of the thunderous cavalry flood, it was still as simple as cutting melons and vegetables, so the Modao was called Nightmare for cavalry! 】

Knight's Nightmare?Is it that strong?Ying Zheng's interest in Mo Dao suddenly increased.

Whether it is the Donghu, the Xiongnu or the Yuezhi, these horsemen outside the Great Wall are all good at cavalry. They have a large number of cavalry. The Qin army, which is mainly infantry, usually suffers when encountering cavalry.

Yingzheng has studied it carefully and is very clear about the gap in combat power between the two sides. Even though the Qin army now has a considerable number of cavalry, compared with the Hu people, they can only be said to be infantry on horseback, and the two sides still exist. quite a gap.
