open sea

Chapter 1330
It is difficult for some cavalry under Dayun's command to take advantage of the mounts.

There is no shortage of horses in Gansu. The Shandan Military Horse Farm in the Hexi Corridor has bred military horses in successive dynasties since the Han Dynasty. They have also crossed and bred with other horse breeds. In theory, they should be able to breed the most suitable war horses.

But this is not the case. Since the Ming army went to Nanyang to recapture Manila, the Imperial Horse Supervisor in Wanli has undertaken the mission of breeding horse breeds for the empire, mainly crossing Spanish Andalusian horses, Portuguese Lusitano horses and Mongolian horses.

The former Spanish horse was called a big-hip horse in Ming Dynasty. This name comes from its larger buttocks than the Portuguese horse, and the Portuguese horse is naturally called a small-hip horse.

During the continuous crossbreeding, Yumajian found that the speed, stamina and body shape of the first generation of hybrid horses had been greatly improved, but the indicators of the second generation of hybrid horses were not as good as those of the first generation, so the first generation of hybrid mares Breed qualified war horses with local excellent stallions.

The war horses bred in this way are generally stronger than the Xuanfu horses, the fourth-generation crossbreds bred by Chen Mu in the Beiyang horse farm, and the sixth-generation crossbreds bred by the Qiongzhou horse farm.

Nowadays, horses are raised according to this standard method in various places, and the most suitable war horses, draft horses and work horses are bred.

But Gansu obviously didn't need it. These days, Beiyang formed cavalry every year, and the good horses were all close together, so they rode the most common, durable, roughest, and most courageous big-headed dolls.

Such a horse would fight against the hybrid horses suitable for heavy riding in the Western Regions. Small-scale battles would definitely not be cheap, let alone outnumbered.

But Dayun is superior in people, although there are few others, but he has no intention of doing mental calculations, everyone on his side wears armor and holds up swords, while the people on Tubo Maheima's side some are in the house, some are outside warming the fire, they are all wearing thin armor. I won't be able to put it on for a while, so what a miserable appearance when encountering a surprise attack.

It takes time to prepare, which is the biggest weakness of heavy cavalry. No horse can wear a [-]-jin vest and carry a [-]-jin warrior for a long journey.

When the Liangzhou cavalry rushed into Qijiaojing, the heavy Tubo cavalry in single clothes and the servants serving on the left and right could only fend off the enemy with swords and bows. Splash five steps.

As the saying goes, the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation. The cavalrymen who started from Liangzhouwei are no different from the poor ghosts in the frontier army of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, they have practiced a strong equestrian skill, and they can still follow the command wall to advance during the conflict. They each lead the pack horse according to their own circumstances, and turn around when the enemy army is still in chaos.

They came and went quickly, and the whole battle came and went in just a moment. When Tubo Ma Heima's brain was still a mess, he had already left Qijiaojing, and the horse's hooves could not be heard. He was so angry that he shook his wine glass. Non-stop, the best wine from the Western Regions was scattered all over the floor.

Finally, seeing the corpses everywhere and the horses let loose by the Ming army scurrying around, he even dropped his wine glass, raised his whip and shouted: "What the hell are they still wearing? Did you see them wearing armor? Chase me!" ,Chase!"

A group of disheveled cavalrymen and servants saw that the Khan was furious, and each of them felt frightened and useless in their hearts.

How wronged, many cavalrymen are sleeping in the houses in the village here. Hearing the sound of horseshoes and the sound of killing outside, they are so frightened that they fall off the bed. Those with helmets in the house wear helmets. Those who were in the house took whatever they wanted and ran out without even seeing the enemy.

These are the elites of the Tubo elites. In their one-third of an acre of land, each of them is a wealthy aristocrat. Under the starry sky, I chased after the night where the sound of horseshoes disappeared, vowing to avenge my shame.

Not to mention, Tubo Ma Heima is also interesting. He told his subordinates not to wear armor to chase after him.

But it should be his luck that Dayun didn't run far at all.

He rushed into the Qijiao Well because he saw Cai and got a feverish mind. He rushed in and killed people and seized the horse. He led the team and ran out with cold sweat on his back. Dayun suddenly woke up.

He raised his hand and tugged at the reins of the two war horses carrying armor boxes and provisions, slapped his forehead and said, "It's broken."

Grabbing things is undoubtedly a very happy thing, but after the snatching is over, the problem comes, he can't run far.

Originally, their horses were not as good as others, and it was four hundred miles to return to Hami, no matter how they ran, they would definitely catch up with them in the end.

Now they have robbed dozens of horses carrying armor and baggage, and they can't run fast.

On the contrary, the enemy, with so much lighter equipment, must have marched faster.

No matter how you look at it, he will be finished in the end, unless... unless he abandons all these horses and armor now, it is still possible to escape back to Hami.

Good things at your fingertips, is it possible to abandon them?
Impossible.

What do these horse armor and heavy armor mean? It means a small team of heavy cavalry.

A small group of heavy cavalry does not sound unusual. These days, border generals in various places have servants, and it is not surprising that they can raise some heavy cavalry, but that is where there are battles.

Like in Xuanda, if you kill a northern prisoner and take it back to reward you with silver, you can exchange for two sets of equipment.

But where there is no war, it is easier said than done.

Anyway, Dayun's salary is too unimaginable, Liangzhou Weiyi's family is pointing to his salary for food and clothing, ten thousand steps back and said that even if you don't build your own heavy cavalry, it will be a big deal to take these outfits back Merit isn't it?
So the question is, how to bring these things back?
At this moment, the confidant cavalry eagerly said beside him: "General, Huoguang, the enemy may be chasing him out, let's not stop here."

This is out?
Dayun shook his head, it was wrong for the enemy to come out at this time.

At this moment, the armor can't be put on.

Thinking about it, he took out his goggles and looked in the direction of the Qijiao Well. Well, the three cavalry were afraid that others would not see them. Some were wearing jackets, some were wearing shoes and some were barefoot. It was rare to see two of them wearing helmets.

The Liangzhou cavalry who were walking around anxiously didn't know what the general saw in the binoculars, but just listening to him here, he clicked his mouth and swallowed his saliva.

Did you see the stewed mutton out of the pot?

"Hurry up and maintain the formation. The enemy is in the clear and I am in the dark. You can hit them." Da Yun turned his hand and put the telescope back on his chest. , Try not to shoot the torch holder and let him illuminate us, listen to my arrows."

The sounding arrow rested on the bow of the big shoot, and his thumb was on the string. Looking at the fire snake that was approaching gradually, Dayun felt a feeling in his heart.

I don't know what emotion to use to describe it. Anyway, Dayun thinks that after this battle, he can renovate the dilapidated old house in Liangzhou City and build a big house on the top of the mountain with a corridor for him.

It is not the jumping fire snakes and galloping horses that rush out of the seven-cornered well, but the fame, and it is his fame that smashed the sky.

　Good morning!
