Chapter 957 Liu Beis plan(2/2)
After the war ended, the battlefield began to be cleaned. After the enemy's arrows rained down upon the village, there were clusters of arrows on the roofs and on the ground.
The enemy tried to defeat the Julu Army by consuming the Julu Army's vitality through missing arrows. This method was essentially correct, but the Julu Army was too strong. Even if the enemy had used this tactic three days earlier, the Julu Army had prepared
If it is not enough, there will inevitably be heavy casualties. The Julu Army is too strong, so strong that it is still making rapid progress even during the battle.
Three days gave the Julu Army enough time to build an arrow-proof shed. It was this simple arrow-proof shed that destroyed the enemy's arrow rain offensive.
Liu Bei took off his armor and stomach to check the injuries. He saw that there was a bruise on his chest. The enemy's cavalry had hit the armor, causing blunt injuries through the armor.
Apart from this bruise, there were no other injuries.
Liu Bei once again lamented the strong defensive capabilities of cold-forged armor. If it had not been for cold-forged heavy armor, if it had been ordinary iron armor, he would have been killed on the spot today. Liu Bei checked his long sword again and found that his own soldiers had already used it.
The blood stains on the sword were wiped away, and the sword became clean. When I took a look at the whole body of the long sword, I found that the sword was still straight. Although there were some big and small gaps on the sword's edge, the edge was still generally intact.
This steel-clad long sword is not Liu Bei's male and female double-pronged sword. Liu Bei's double swords are now in Wang Yue's hands. This steel-clad long sword is a temporary weapon made before going out to the army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! According to Li Mengxi, Li Mengxi felt that Liu Bei's double swords were okay for infantry combat, but not very suitable for cavalry combat.
Li Mengxi's statement is neither right nor wrong. What is wrong is that in the era without stirrups, the impact of the cavalry was not enough, and Liu Bei's double swords could handle the situation of cavalry combat. But in the era when stirrups were popular, both hands would hold light swords.
You can still fight, but it won't work if you hold a two-handed heavy sword in both hands.
Another one, the armor stomach. If it is ordinary iron armor, the defense of ordinary iron armor is not enough, and the double swords look clumsy. But now the situation has changed. The Julu Army can produce cold-forged armor. The extremely thick cold-forged armor makes
The cavalry's protective power has been improved unprecedentedly. When the defensive power reaches a certain level, the cavalry no longer needs to estimate the defense, and can abandon the defense and rush forward.
For example, in later Europe, in the era of plate armored knights, the swords in the hands of knights became longer and heavier.
Cold-forged armor has outstanding defensive power, and it is in an era without horse stirrups. The melee combat capability of the epee is stronger than that of an ordinary lance. Liu Bei did not completely follow Li Mengxi's suggestion and did not abandon the epee. This was right.
Liu Bei, who wears heavy armor and holds a heavy sword, is his victor. In the worst case scenario, when the cavalry on both sides rush into a pile of people and cannot get up, when the men and horses are crowded into a pile of people, at this time, the heavy sword is in the crowd.
Chopping melons and vegetables is overwhelming.
During this actual battle, Liu Bei had some insights. He felt that the feel of the sword was not quite right. Maybe it was because the sword was too long, so the center of gravity problem was very prominent. Generally speaking, the closer the center of gravity of a sword is to the hilt, the better. The closer it is, the better.
The hilt of the sword is easier to operate.
The center of gravity is close to the hilt of the sword, which also means that the force of the slash is not strong enough. In the cavalry battle, the weapons of both sides are superimposed and the speed of the horses is superimposed and they are slashed at each other. The force is extremely strong, and the force of the rebound is also extremely strong.
In other words, in cavalry combat, it seems better to have the center of gravity of the long sword forward. If the center of gravity is forward, the potential energy of the sword will be greater and the force will be greater, so the enemy cannot stop it.
, it will be easier to gain an advantage when weapons collide.
In cavalry combat, there is no doubt that every inch is longer and stronger. Because of the use of the steel-clad method, the Julu Army's long sword can be made long, thin and tough, giving the Julu Army's cavalry long sword a full length advantage.
Subsequently, the length advantage magnifies the difference in the center of gravity.
From actual combat, Liu Bei felt that the sword used for riding and the sword used for infantry fighting should be two kinds of sword weapons and cannot be regarded as the same.
——
The three to four hundred people who were rescued by the Julu Army were able to stay in the army.
When the common people join the army, it means that the army has hundreds of more manpower. If the situation is critical, the common people will also help. Considering this, the army issues a full set of weapons to the common people.
After fighting two battles with the enemy, the army captured a large number of weapons and armor. These weapons and armors were abundant, and the huge amount of materials provided for three to four hundred people, making the people armed to the teeth.
The situation became like this. A lame and thin old man walked past. He was wearing leather armor, an iron helmet on his head, a powerful crossbow on his back, two barrels of arrows hanging on the left side of his waist, and one hanging on the right side.
A well-equipped hundred-refined ring hand. The old man is holding an iron-clad shield in his left hand. His right hand is carried on his shoulder like a hoe. He is carrying a well-made red lacquered iron hammer, the equipment of an elite soldier.
That's all.
