[Teacher name: budding cavalry; description of the army: the oldest cavalry of mankind, equipped with a horn bow or a two-meter bronze spear, two-meter bronze spear, two-meter group to fight. Combat power assessment: Bronze Age intermediate. System facilities required for generation: Bronze Age advanced military camp and primary stable; generate 5 points required, and each unit consumes 2 population balance]

Hua looked at this unactivated military, and thought of the Assyrian cavalry. The two of them cooperated in a group to attack the enemy in the movement. When one of them bent his bow, the other had to help him hold the reins. Hua checked the stable facilities he relied on.

[Junior stables, this facility and subsequent higher-level facilities are necessary facilities for military camp generation that require horse troops. The construction costs 300 points, the palace is upgraded to the Bronze Age Advanced, the military camp is upgraded to the Bronze Age Advanced, and the city wall needs to be upgraded to the rammed earth wall]

The city wall should have been upgraded. As the Xia side's power expands, more and more forces coveting the Xia Kingdom will inevitably be, and the enemies they face will be stronger than the other. The wooden wall appears weak at this time.

Thinking of this, Hua upgraded the city wall to the rammed earth wall. A primary stable was built next to the military camp. In the end, ten units of budding cavalry were generated. A total of 850 points were spent, and a total of 20 population balances were consumed.

Then, Hua Xing rushed to the military camp to check out the newly-launched military-cavalry. Earlier, Hua had the idea of ​​using a cart to pull a horse as a cavalry mount. However, these horses were short and generally had a shoulder height of about 1.3 meters. When people rode on it, they were like riding on dogs. The key was that their load capacity did not meet the standard of riding.

Twenty "muscular men" wearing leather armor were riding "masters" to practice on the school ground. This so-called "masters" are actually number one larger than the native horses that usually pull carts, with a shoulder height of about 1.4 meters. There is no saddle or stirrup, and there is only a piece of animal skin on the horse's back.

Riders must curl up their legs when riding horses and tightly clamp their belly to maintain balance. Some hold a two-meter spear, while others hold a horned bow. The bow holder is the main attacking cavalry, and the spear holder is the auxiliary rider.

Seeing Hua's arrival, the twenty cavalrymen quickly jumped off their horses and bowed to Hua together and said, "I've seen the Lord."

"Everyone is free, please continue to practice. My uncle is here to visit."

Looking at these budding cavalry, Hua thought to himself [This is really the "buried" cavalry. It doesn't make much practical sense to use these "cavalry" directly for charge and trap. However, if it is used for real-time battlefield reconnaissance and communication, as well as harassment on the rear wing of the enemy's formation, it will still have a great effect]

Thinking of this, he returned to the study of the palace and spent half a day designing a saddle, stirrup and new style horse chewing on the brocade. Then he came to the workshop to consult the craftsmen if they could create it.

After a full exchange and communication with Hua and learned about his detailed design intentions, he quickly created twenty new sets of horse harness based on the drawings.

On the school ground, the budding cavalry were not used to these assembled new horse harnesses at first, but after practicing for a few quarters of a year, they all became excited. The new horse harness brought them a qualitative leap in riding experience.

The new horse harness has improved the combat power of these cavalry to a certain extent, but the combat power of the cavalry still depends on people and horses. These cavalry are actually far from the level of mature cavalry in later generations. Even so, this is already a cross-age army of historical significance.

Hua originally planned to equip them with bronze armor, but found that the load capacity of these horses was very limited. If they added weight, they would only sacrifice the continuous maneuverability and speed of these cavalrymen, so they had to retain the leather armor preset by the system.

Regarding their weapons, each cavalry is now equipped with a two-meter rifle and a pair of horn bows, and fifteen bronze cluster arrows. There are hooks and loops on the rifle. When you need to free up your hands, you can hang the rifle on the harness.

...

It is the slack season in winter, and militias from Huben Camp and several villages in the basin have begun to conduct winter training.

The halberd soldiers and spear soldiers of the Qilin Guard were both sent to teach.

In the Huben camp, there were uniform infantry spears with spears densely packed in the instructor's command, performing various exercises.

These spear infantry are equipped with a full set of armor, and the helmets are made of bronze, and even the cheeks on both sides are protected tightly. The armor is still made of leather armor as the substrate and is continuously inlaid with riveted copper sheets. It is obviously different from the armors that use armor as the mainstream in other countries. There are still wrist armors and tibia made of bronze. They are still made of bronze to protect the forearm and shin respectively.

The weapons of the spearmen are five-meter-long bronze spears and two-foot-half-round shields that can be hung on the chest. In addition, a bronze dagger that is more than one foot long is hung around the waist.

Once upon a time, when Hua picked up the five-meter spear, he instantly understood why the long-handled infantry phalanx abandoned the long-handled halberd that could cut, hook and stab. Because under the lever effect, the weight of the extra spear blade made the soldiers almost double the effort to level this super long-handled weapon. So he decided to decide that all the long-handled infantry corpses in the tiger were spearmen. The three-meter long-handled halberd was left for those farmers who had no time to train for long-term military formations.

Hua came to a large open space in the southern part of the basin, where there was a newly built elephant garden. Twenty elephant trainers were training elephants on the open space. This was the elephant trainer who spent 40 points to be generated by Hua. Although the natives in this world also had elephant slaves, they were not comparable to the former. The latter was only able to control elephants for ordinary walking and do some common work. However, the elephant trainer had the level of a circus trainer in later generations, and could train elephants to strictly follow the instructions to perform various behaviors.

These beast trainers and elephants are part of the "mobile castle" designed by Hua. There is also a camp next to the open space, where some indigenous craftsmen are knocking, sawing, rivets, and rivets, sweating profusely. The utensils they have created have already had a finished product, which is very large.

At a high point, it looks like a small castle with wood as the skeleton, bamboo and rattan as the skin, with a roof cover, ten meters long and five meters high. The roof cover is made of bamboo and rattan, and if necessary, wet spear grass can be laid to prevent fire. The exterior wall is also composed of rattan armor woven by three layers of bamboo and rattan. On the inside of the wall of the exterior wall, there is a 1.5-meter-wide bamboo corridor supported by wooden frames. The top of the exterior wall is surrounded by bamboo poles that run through bamboo joints, and there is a water-filled funnel on each side, which can divert water in a short time to make the entire vine wall wet for fire prevention.

There is a frame with a peculiar structure three meters high inside. There is also a base frame made of wood and bronze components at the bottom. There are multiple wooden wheels installed at the bottom of the base frame. These wooden wheels are solid wooden wheels with a diameter of less than two feet, with bronze outlined. They are all simple universal wheels fixed on the base frame through a shaft. The wheels are not touching the ground now, and it is obvious that the machine switch can be used to determine whether the castle is moved with wheels.

The "mobile castle" is different from the previous city-breaking machine. The artifact itself does not need to be kept confidential because it cannot be kept secret after being put into the battlefield. However, the core threshold of this thing lies in the elephant trainer. Even if others deliberately imitate it, at least they must have an elephant slave who reaches the level of a system elephant trainer.

"How about it, can these elephants act uniformly according to the instructions?" Hua asked the leader of the elephant trainer.

"It's basically OK. Please take a look at our actual exercises," the man replied respectfully.
