Daqin: I was overheard by Zulong

Chapter 335 Weaknesses of Heavy Cavalry

【However, I am curious. What kind of thought did you come up with when you came up with heavy cavalry in a place like Buyeo? 】

[In such a broken place, where did so many steel armor equipped with cavalry come from?This is something Daqin has never thought about! 】

Hearing Zhao Yi's voice, Ying Zheng's expression suddenly became gloomy. Just as Zhao Yi thought, even if Daqin has Zhao Yi's steel factory, the scope of steel used in the army is still limited to weapons. Not on the armor.

The people of Qin were martial, and when they went to battle to kill the enemy, many people would think that the armor was too heavy or in the way, so they didn't wear armor, or even killed the enemy with their upper body naked. In the process of conquering the Six Kingdoms, this kind of situation was not uncommon.

But the problem is that today's war opponents have evolved from the Six Kingdoms to the barbarians outside the Great Wall and the Baiyue barbarians.

These people are either good at riding and shooting, or good at sneak attack and assassination, and armor is very important at this time.

But even so, Daqin's utilization rate of steel, especially the popularity rate of the army, is still not high, and this is due to production restrictions.

This is because Zhao Yi improved the iron and steel smelting process, and coal was used as fuel in smelting, which made Daqin's iron and steel production double.

But in the Fuyu country in front of them, their steel smelting methods are unknown, and they have no smelting workshops. How did they apply them to cavalry in large quantities, thereby deriving heavy cavalry?
Could there be someone from Daqin behind this, colluding with it?And could these people's intentions be...

Ying Zheng shuddered at the thought, and couldn't help asking Zhao Yi, "Prince, Fuyu's heavy cavalry, in my opinion, can only be defeated with your firearms, otherwise, my Daqin soldiers will fight against the heavy cavalry. In front of him, there must be heavy casualties..."

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Zhao Yi couldn't help shaking his head.

[No way, the old thing is too long for other people's aspirations to destroy their own prestige! 】

[Just a few heavy cavalry, this scares the old man, and he is too easy to be scared! 】

Ying Zheng was very puzzled by Zhao Yi's ridicule. Zhao Yi himself said that it was very difficult to crack the heavy cavalry. Why did he say now that he wanted to use firearms to defeat the heavy cavalry?Zhao Yi's next voice gave the answer.

[It is undeniable that the heavy cavalry is as powerful as the tanks of later generations, but the problem is that the heavy cavalry is not without weaknesses, and its weaknesses are very obvious! 】

[First of all, this unit has very high requirements for cooperation, and its maintenance cost is very high. A weakened version of the Xiongnu Chanyuting country like Buyeo cannot support the consumption of a large number of heavy cavalry at all! 】

[After all, the first weakness of heavy cavalry is its poor mobility, especially as far as I know, Fuyu's war horses don't have enough stamina and are only suitable for short-distance sprints. 】

[How can you put it this way, even if Fuyu's heavy cavalry is formed and used on the battlefield, as long as it can withstand a wave of his attacks, he will be completely useless. 】

[Secondly, to deal with heavy cavalry, there is no need to carry it head-on. The heavy cavalry is very powerful, but no matter how much armor he buys, it is impossible to protect the horse's legs and eyes! 】

[As long as you cooperate properly, you can completely defeat them by cutting horses' feet, poking their eyes, or even using fire attacks or digging pits! 】

Cut the horse's feet?Poke the horse's eye?fire attack?trap?Ying Zheng suddenly discovered that the heavy cavalry that he thought was unsolvable had so many weaknesses, why didn't he think of it?
Fuyu is a weak country, and there are definitely not many heavy cavalry, so they can only be used in the final decisive battle.

And as Zhao Yi said, once a group of troops who know how to quickly penetrate into the heavy cavalry and cut horses' feet are trained, or a battlefield with traps is arranged in advance to lure the king into the urn, the heavy cavalry can be effectively solved. cavalry!
At that time, the heavy cavalry who could boost the morale of the Fuyu country will be killed on the spot, which will be a devastating blow to the morale of the Fuyu country.

Ying Zheng became more and more excited as he thought about it, but at this time, Zhao Yi's voice did not stop there.

[Actually, the old man doesn't think about it, Daqin is now the nemesis of the heavy cavalry, but he doesn't know how to use it, it's a waste!It's a pity that I spent so much effort buying it, and I don't know what he planned! 】

[Mo Dao Shou is the best nemesis against heavy cavalry. Mo Dao Shou is originally an infantry soldier. Under the cover of cavalry, Mo Dao Shou can quickly penetrate in front of the heavy cavalry, and then use the sharpness of Mo Dao to cut off the horse's leg directly! 】

[At that time, you can still bring oil and firecrackers, but it is really inferior to using oil to make combustion. Burn those grandchildren in bottles, or use firecrackers to blow up those grandsons. Slaughter! 】

Hearing what Zhao Yi said, Ying Zheng gasped suddenly.

In his eyes, what was a very difficult matter turned out to be solved in Zhao Yi's hands, almost like a game, which made Ying Zheng very ashamed.

Although Zhao Yi had an idea, he yelled at Ying Zheng on the surface, "The father and son will supervise the arsenal as soon as possible and complete the research and development of firearms as soon as possible, but you know, this matter cannot be completed in a day or two of……"

Seeing Zhao Yi playing Tai Chi with him, Ying Zheng suddenly had black lines all over his head. As a prince, he is good at everything, but he doesn't like to express himself. .

However, Ying Zheng heard everything that Ying Zheng needed to hear. Even if Zhao Yi was unwilling to help, Ying Zheng alone could handle the heavy cavalry of Fuyu Kingdom well.

So Ying Zheng waved his hand at Zhao Yi blankly, "Forget it, I won't embarrass you, you step back, I will carefully consider this matter, and your arsenal should pay close attention!"

When Zhao Yi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face, so he quickly resigned and left.

When Zhao Yi left the palace gate, he ran into Wang Ben, Li Xin and the others by accident. As they entered the palace with solemn expressions, he knew in his heart that he must have come to help Yuguo.

But this matter had nothing to do with him anymore, so Zhao Yi ran faster.

Sure enough, Wang Ben, Li Xin, Feng Jing and others entered the palace just to help the Yu Kingdom re-arm the cavalry.

When they came to the imperial study, Feng Jing nervously handed over the military information he had just obtained, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report at the border. There has just been a friction between the Fuyu Kingdom and our border army. Our army was defeated. Please read it, Your Majesty!"

The servant hurriedly took the military report from Feng Jing and handed it over to Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng just glanced at it and frowned heavily.
