Murong Nan laughed and pointed to the two secondary weapon hooks in front of his saddle: "Is it possible to live?"
Liu Yu looked at the situation and saw several weapons hanging on the two hooks. In addition to the saber he just pulled out, there were two iron hammers with a length of more than four feet. One was about six feet long. The rubber band on the other side, behind the saddle side, hangs a quiver with fifty long-barred spike arrows all in it.
Murong Nan drew the saber back into the scabbard, picked up an iron hammer, and waved a few times in the air. The tiger made a breeze: "After seeing it, after rushing to the formation, even if there is no long-handed in his hand, he leaned. These sabers and hammers can still hit people. Some powerful warriors simply hang a five or six foot long mace and smash this thing, and the head will bloom. "
Liu Yu said with a smile: "That's it. If it's rushing into the formation, the infantry is not good for stabbing, because people are close together and they are too close. They often can only pull out the waist knife, the big axe, and the short ones. Bringing weapons to fight, your hammer is very good. On the battlefield, if the sword is notched and the blade is curled, these blunt devices will not be deformed and can be used forever. "
Speaking of which, Liu Yu looked at the long rope and frowned: "Is this long rope used to tie the captives? Isn't it too long? If you want to tie people, two feet is enough, no need Six feet. "
Murong Nan smiled and picked up the long cable. Liu Yu realized that Suo Tou had actually formed a ring of one square foot. I saw that Murong Nan waved his head with a long cable. The ring was like his ring. The head turned the same. After a few strokes, he threw it forward violently and snapped, just hitting a wooden pile on the side of the road. With his hand, the pile piled up. Bring it out directly, dragging behind the horse for a while.
After Murong ran for more than ten steps, he ran back in a small circle: "I see it. This is called a noose. It is not used to tie people. It is used to set people. The other party's immediate knight, horse. The infantry under him, given such a set, and once again received it, they were bound to life. No matter how strong you were, your hands and feet were tied, the horse was dragged, and ten lives were lost. "
Liu Yu smiled and said: "It's easy to set up stakes, but it's hard to set up people. I really want you and me to meet each other in battle. You want to set up with me. I'm afraid it's not so convenient."
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Your martial arts are high, the response is fast, and it is not easy to set up, but other ordinary soldiers are inevitable. Besides, on the battlefield, there may be attacks in all directions, even if you are, maybe you are cold when you are defending arrows. One or a few nooses will be added to the circle. Liu Yu, do n’t be too confident when there is a loss of the forefront of the hundred battles. "
Liu Yu secretly said that if there are dozens of people coming together to set themselves on this battlefield, there is really no way to defend, and it seems that this set of horses can be put in front of the line in addition to people If you give such a set of props to resist the impact of cavalry, if you give it another set, the defense before it will be completely invalid. It seems that my infantry infantry has a defense method, and the Hu people have a way to crack it.
Liu Yu nodded and turned to look at the quiver: "The quiver is easy to understand. You need to shoot right away. A quiver may be a little short."
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Of course, when fighting, there must be at least two, usually three, so as to ensure that there are not fewer bows and arrows during a battle. As for the big bow, it is naturally carried on the body, as it is now. . "
Liu Yu smiled and looked at the back of Murongnan ’s back with a length of about four feet, a bow with up to four stones and two buckets, and a composite bow of three strands of tendons: "Such a big bow, you have the strength Did you fight a 150 arrow? I am afraid that more than forty arrows will come down.
Murong Nan smiled and shook his head: "He has a skill in drawing bows and arrows, and sometimes he can use the horse's impulse. Besides, we northerners take the world by riding and shooting, and have practiced this since childhood, even women and children. They are all proficient in shooting, usually on the battlefield, and it is not surprising that all three bags of arrows have been shot. "
Liu Yu knew that he was not bragging, nodded, and looked at a round wooden shield about two feet in diameter behind his back: "This shield should be carried behind your back. If you have a bow and arrow in your hand, I'm afraid I can't take it. Let's go. "
Murong Nanzheng said: "Yes, we are back shields, which are generally not removed. When your Han army is arrayed, you always hold the shield in the front row and the top shield in the rear row, and put out a square array like a turtle shell. To prevent arrows, but our northerners do not line up when they hit immediately, often lying on horseback, so when the arrows fall, they hit our back ~ EbookFREE.me ~ You have to rely on this big shield to prevent it. "
Liu Yuchang breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that it's no wonder I looked at your equipment at first, but it's weird to see you at first, but it's all prepared for combat. It's just that this shield alone can block the sky. Rain of arrows? Even if you can stop them, how can horses prevent arrows? "
Murong Nan smiled slightly: "Liu Yu, have you ever heard of Jiaqi outfit?"
Liu Yuqi said: "Jiaqi outfit is the cavalry of Murong's famous family. I have heard of it before, but I don't know what's going on. Is it for the horse to wear armor?"
Murong Nan nodded and pointed to his mount: "Yes, on the battlefield, it is not enough to be fully armed. Experienced soldiers all know the reason for shooting first and shooting horses, so they have to fight for a long time. Horses also need armor. Our Murong family started in Liaodong and are proficient in iron smelting. For hundreds of years, we have figured out a way to wear armor for horses. This is called armor riding. "
"Our Murong's standard horse armor is composed of six parts: a face curtain; a chicken neck; a chest; a body armor; after a ride; parasitism." Face curtain "is a long and narrow metal protective cover with The eye hole mainly protects the horse's face; "chicken neck" is actually a pair of horse neck armor, which is made up of a piece of nail. There is a buckle on the front to buckle; when the chest; A large piece of armor behind; and the parasite is more characteristic, it is a broom-like thing placed on the tail of the horse, and the purpose is to protect the back of the cavalry. "
As Murong Nan said, making gestures, Liu Yu nodded again and again, frowning gradually: "If you plan according to the armor we are wearing, just this set of vests, I am afraid that it will weigh hundreds of pounds. , The horse itself already carries a person of nearly two hundred pounds, can it still carry this vest? If it is a long-distance attack, how to walk in this body? "
