Chapter 620: Ma Sheng bleak

On the battlefield, horses are probably the most suffering. Whether it is winning or losing, it is the life of the ride. In the course of the war, it has to do the heaviest work, take the greatest risks, and always face the possibility of hunger.
To make matters worse, if the soldiers are injured, there is still the possibility of treatment, even if they break their hands or feet, they may not be dead. But I didn't see anyone's warhorse with a broken leg still alive. It's good to be able to bleed to death.
It may also turn into roasted horse meat and be stuffed into human belly.
Ma Sheng is bleak!
Before the "Fighting Shadow", only one head was bombed in the Winter Hall, and Zhou Qingfeng attacked Broken Bridge City and could only ride an ordinary service horse. Fighting, the horse was killed by the enemy, forcing him into a violent state.
Whether it is labor or combat, the mortality rate of horses on the battlefield is higher than that of humans.
Emperor Han Wu of the Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for four years, General Qing Wei, Huo Qi General Huo went to Mobei for tens of thousands of troops. In this battle, the Han army broke through the Huns, and the military achievements were good. The casualties were small, but the horses suffered huge losses.
When out of the fortress, there were 140,000 official horses and horses, and a large number of Xiongnu horses were seized during the battle. The horses that came back together were less than 30,000, which is really a loss.
Horses are expensive and difficult to serve, and the casualty rate is particularly high. The family background accumulated by Emperor Wenjing spent a lot of light in the hands of Emperor Wu, which is a typical portrayal of fighting wars and losing money.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't like cavalry at all, because it was too expensive. He, a local tyrant, can't stand the loss, and has been wondering how to replace the noble cavalry with civilian infantry.
But the advantages of cavalry are so outstanding. Scouting, covering, detouring, and chasing, these tasks cannot be done by infantry with two legs, only cavalry.
Only when you have actually commanded a battle can you understand how much impact modern mechanized vehicles have on the war? It is not a one-dimensional war philosophy at all.
Zhou Qingfeng didn't think about how cool it would be to come up with a different tank. But he ‘causes to learn a little’ and realizes that he does n’t have that skill. until......
Back to the cold wind city, the city is peaceful.
Ordinary citizens did not even know that their lord had just packed up the broken bridge city to the west. The Houghton family is like an old dog with a spine cut off, and never want to turn over again.
The wounded soldiers and captives did not enter the city and went directly to the barracks. The aftermath is naturally handled by someone, for example, Rubio, a profiteer, is quite suitable.
When Zhou Qingfeng came back, Alsie hurriedly pulled him into the alchemy laboratory of the Wizard's Tower. The seven goblins flew happily around the owner, and even Sofia, who had always been reserved, boasted.
They really made something special!
"Master, look at your new mount!" In order to increase the sense of ceremony, Irene also blindly covered Zhou Qingfeng's eyes and led him to the "new mount" before letting go.
Zhou Qingfeng opened his eyes.
Lying!
He jumped three steps away.
Opposite is a stout four-footed guy.
No, no, it's no longer possible to use hooves to describe the stout legs.
The high horse's neck is completely gone, and a big monster head is directly mounted on the mount's torso.
The body shape of 'Jiying' was originally very large, but now it's bigger again.
Its face is nearly one meter wide, and its shoulder height is one and five meters. Its body becomes a mechanical structure, like a giant lizard lying on the floor. The length of 5 or 6 meters is also accompanied by a large metal tail with interlocking links.
Earth Dragon?
The mechanically constructed version of the Earth Dragon.
"Jiying?" Zhou Qingfeng tentatively shouted, he didn't dare to admit it.
This mechanical monster is much more powerful than the original skeleton horse. The acute angle of the forehead disappeared and was replaced by a thick anvil. The fangs are still sharp and sharper than in the past.
The sturdy limbs come with powerful force at a glance. And that long tail, flexible and fierce, twitched with absolute power.
Hearing the call, a red flame glowed in the eyes of the mechanical dragon. White steam erupted from its huge nose and mouth, and sighed in a very helpless tone:
"Master, it's me. Look at the good deeds of Alsie, she is just Hulai. I am obviously a horse, but now it is a dragon. This is really no aesthetics, which seriously affects my reputation.
"Forget it, you were originally an undead half-demon, and you have no reputation."
Despite the surprise at first glance, Zhou Qingfeng felt that the modification was quite good. He asked Alsie, "Have you tested it?"
"Tested." Mo Ji Le said: "'Dying Shadow' is now twice as big and heavy as before, so I specially made an energy furnace for it, and added a little uranium 235 inside to make sure there is enough power.
The speed is unchanged. Others, regardless of defense, impact or attack ability, are much stronger than in the past. The whole modification is very successful, and it is very suitable for rushing on the battlefield. "
Alsie urged the owner to take a trial ride, but Zhou Qingfeng asked thoughtfully: "How many more can this kind of structure be built?"
Mo Ji froze for a moment and asked, "Master, how much do you want?"
"Naturally, the more the better."
The bizarre maids have spent a lot of time trying to modify the "Dying Shadow". They looked at each other, but they all shook their heads to Zhou Qingfeng. Sophia floated forward and whispered, "Master, do you want to equip the cavalry with a construct?"
"Yeah. A horse has at least fifty gold coins and has to eat supplies from at least five soldiers every day. But those who died on the battlefield were much faster than ordinary soldiers.
The most annoying thing is that once the horses are worn out, the replenishment is too slow. I can't own a large number of horses immediately even if I have money. There will be a long period of strength vacancies after a battle. "
I am afraid that it would be disapproving for others to listen to these words, but the strange maid followed Zhou Qingfeng to the real world. They have all seen the world and witnessed how industrialized societies can quickly create wealth.
It takes at least two years for a horse from pregnancy to training. But even with the technical level of ‘Holy Light Machinery’, three digits are made on three rounds every day.
It's just that Sofia shook her head at Zhou Qingfeng, "In order to modify the 'Dying Shadow', we spent nearly a million gold coins of magical materials.
Most of them were copied from the property of the nobles and wizards of Cold Wind City, and many of them could not be bought with money. Not to mention a hundred horses, no one can be built. "
Hundreds of parts and materials are required for a structure. Alsie also showed Zhou Qingfeng the bill of materials, which was densely packed.
Zhou Qingfeng threw this bill of materials to the succubus Medes in the abyss. The other party said that they could be satisfied, but the asking price was scary. He spent all those coupons and at most created two or three more.
"What if the performance is simplified?" Zhou Qingfeng felt that there was no need to equip all his men with the majestic ground dragon. Ordinary goods would be fine.
Alci immediately said: "If you weaken some defenses, you can greatly reduce the weight. Use a lower energy stove. The cost can be 10% cheaper."
"It's only 10% cheaper, not enough." Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand broadly. "While riding a vehicle, it doesn't need any attacking ability, nor does it need a pull-out appearance. The simpler the better."
The superiors from other worlds can't wait to get out of the dragon, the more powerful and domineering the better. ‘Jiying’ had a terrifying intuition as soon as he heard that the host had cut the defense and attacked, as if he was going to get a knife.
Alsie and Sofia gathered together to discuss and lowered the cost by 20%.
But Zhou Qingfeng still shook his head, "It's not enough, it's still too expensive. It's too expensive. I want a popular one, with a minimum of one hundred horses. The unit price cannot exceed 10,000 gold coins.
The parts should be standardized and coordinated and maintained with each other when necessary. The daily use cost should be low, and it is impossible to make it and cannot afford it. "
Ten thousand still so many requests?
It's more than just a price to make a structure.
If you really want to build a 10,000-cost construction mount, what would it look like?
Unimaginable!
