Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 322: Starting a New Project

Lin Feng was in the command center of Lingdouzi Castle, walking around several carriages in the yard.

Seven or eight carriages were filled with gold, silver, pearls, jade, agate, gemstones, crystal beads...

It makes people dizzy.

At this time, Lin Feng had a new idea in his mind.

This was a project he had originally thought of, but had been shelved due to funding issues.

Since the tanks they made were too heavy, they were only suitable for defensive counterattacks.

Once the enemy realizes the loophole in this tactic, they can easily avoid contact with their tanks, thus putting themselves in a passive position.

The characteristics of Tatar cavalry are flexibility, speed and strong individual attack power.

This gave Lin Feng a headache for quite a while.

Even after intensive training, his own Qingshui Army still lacked the ability to suppress the Tatars, whose adults lived on horseback.

If the two armies were allowed to fight fairly now.

According to Lin Feng's estimation, the combat effectiveness of both sides is almost half and half.

If you want to defeat your opponent, you need strong mental perseverance.

This kind of battle is not what Lin Feng wants.

He needed a repressive offensive force to completely deprive the Tatars of their advantage and achieve the greatest possible victory with the least possible casualties.

For this reason, Lin Feng often stayed up late.

Finally, based on various data, he drew a cavalry equipment.

That's the heavy cavalry.

In order to fight quickly and flexibly, the Tatars tried to keep the protection of all their cavalry as simple as possible.

They only protect the important parts of the body and almost give up other protective equipment.

Lin Feng wanted to improve the cavalry's equipment to perfection.

Even the warhorse under your crotch cannot be left unprotected.

There are several difficulties with such heavy cavalry.

One is that the soldiers themselves must have high quality and be physically strong.

To match it, the warhorse must also be tall, strong and have great endurance.

Another is the required protective gear and weapons, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive to produce.

Although these are difficult points, the benefits are obvious.

Compared with chariots, heavy cavalry has much stronger maneuverability, but its collision and attack power are not reduced.

Tanks have high requirements for the battlefield environment. Once the enemy moves after the attack begins, they lose their advantage.

Heavy cavalry can make up for this shortcoming and can change direction at any time to continue attacking.

Now that we have money, we can equip this army and give the Tartars a surprise.

Lin Feng was very excited and drew the blueprint overnight.

Carefully polish and strive for perfection.

The Qingshui Army's chariot unit is now equipped with forty vehicles, which can fully cope with the current situation.

Lin Feng converted the chariot manufacturing site into a heavy armored cavalry manufacturing site.

Heavy cavalry requires a leader who is highly skilled in martial arts and tall and strong.

Lin Feng felt that several of his candidates were capable of doing the job.

Li Donglai, Zhang Changyou, Xie Chong, and Li Hu.

Xie Zhong is already the leader of the tank unit.

Li Donglai and Zhang Changyou each led troops to guard one side and were able to command a part independently. There was no one who could replace them temporarily.

Only Li Hu meets all the requirements.

Li Hu was very interested in and excited about this new type of attack equipment.

Following behind Lin Feng, he stayed in the heavy cavalry equipment field all day long.

Then, they dragged Zhao Shuo along, and the two of them ran all over the major counties and military camps in the Qingshui area.

Carefully select heavy cavalry members.

According to Lin Feng's plan, the first batch of heavy armored cavalry units would be 2,000 cavalry.

With this number of heavy cavalry, coupled with auxiliary troops.

It can completely defeat the 5,000 cavalry of the Tatars.

As long as there is money, the project progresses very quickly.

Three days later, the first set of heavy cavalry equipment was placed in front of Lin Feng and Li Hu.

It is relatively easy to select soldiers who meet the requirements.

After gathering more than 20,000 soldiers from the border army, the Qingshui Army screened and retained one-third of them.

The number of Qingshui Corps was expanded again.

With such a base number, selecting Li Hu and Zhao Shuo is relatively easy.

However, it is difficult to gather 2,000 qualified war horses.

This can be put off until later, as it is currently in the experimental stage.

Lin Feng personally put on the heavy cavalry suits for Li Hu piece by piece.

Even the war horses were carefully equipped by Lin Feng according to the drawings.

A complete set of heavy cavalry equipment, including armor and horse equipment, weighs 130 kilograms.

When fully equipped, it can be said to be invulnerable to swords and guns.

The weapon of the heavy cavalry was a lance that was nearly ten feet long.

The sharp blade is one and a half feet long and can be used for stabbing, chopping, smashing and sweeping.

With the power of a charging warhorse, if this lance is used properly, it is entirely possible to charge into the enemy camp and defeat them.

A special long sword is hung on one side of the saddle.

Due to the increase in the quality of steel, the strength and toughness have been greatly improved based on the original weight.

Such a long sword can easily chop the opponent's weapon into pieces.

Li Hu was fully equipped and allowed to ride a warhorse and stroll around the yard.

Do some slashing and charging moves.

Zhao Shuo also dressed simply and mounted his horse to fight against Li Hu.

The two men circled and fought on their horses, and after a while, neither could do anything to the other.

Li Hu was not afraid of Zhao Shuo's attack, but he was unable to accurately attack the agile Zhao Shuo.

Lin Feng stood outside the venue, frowning and thinking, observing the weaknesses of the heavy cavalry equipment.

He was so excited that he equipped himself and went on the field, fighting Li Hu and Zhao Shuo alone.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, he used a spear to knock the two men off their horses.

Zhao Shuo got up from the ground, limped to the sidelines and sat down.

"Alas, it all depends on personal ability, Li Hu. Look at the long spear that big brother is wielding, and then look at you."

"How dare you say that to me? Come on, try putting on that armor. I don't use any weapons. If you can touch my body, I lose."

Li Hu was unconvinced and choked back angrily.

Zhao Shuo waved his hand.

"Forget it, I'm really afraid of hurting you."

"Don't come on, I'll take your last name if I don't tire you out."

Zhao Shuo glared.

"Hey, you wanted to take my last name, but it's a pity you can't."

Li Hu was disdainful.

"Tsk, how rare."

"Not interested? This is the national surname, understand?"

The two men were arguing with each other when they saw Lin Feng riding his horse towards them.

They hurried forward to help Lin Feng dismount and take off his armor.

This is the problem with heavy cavalry. They need auxiliary personnel to put on and take off their armor, and they cannot even get on and off the horse by themselves.

Lin Feng was panting as he took off his armor.

"It seems this thing needs some serious training, otherwise, it will only get beaten on the battlefield."

Zhao Shuo laughed and said, "I'll take the beating if I want to. I won't die anyway."

"Even if I can't be beaten to death, I'll die of shame."

Li Hu retorted unconvincedly.

"Alright, let's make some adjustments in a few places and start your soldiers' adaptive training."

Lin Feng waved his hand.

This thing is not designed for single-player combat, but for group attack and defense.

The greatest advantage can only be exerted when a group of heavy cavalry speeds up and charges into the enemy formation.

The three of them stayed in the yard and didn't come out for several days.

Bai Jing started selecting personnel and organizing an engineering team.

According to Lin Feng's request, the command center will be modified first.

The only thing she couldn't accept was that Lin Feng wanted to move the toilet from the yard into the house.

If you put this thing in the house and it gets hot, won’t it stink to death?

The castle has a ready-made sewer system, and sewage can be discharged into it at any time.

So, getting into the water is simple.

However, there are relatively more problems with water supply.
