Although the first-level biochemical war horses are far less than the third-level biochemical war horses, they are much better than the current first-class war horses. Although they cannot truly travel thousands of miles a day and eight hundred miles a night.

But it is still no problem to run four or five hundred miles overnight, and there is no big burden. After all, the one-mile journey in the late Han Dynasty was actually only four hundred meters to convert to the current unit.

When Zhao Mu led the four Jin generals of Chengwu and three thousand heavy cavalry to the city of Huaiyin, it was only less than two hours.

Zhao Mu asked to open the city gate, and entered the city without stopping. He passed through the city gate directly, rushed out from the other city gate, and attacked the territory of Yangzhou with a thunderous force.

Cao Bao followed him and was secretly surprised. He was shocked to discover that Zhao Mu's heavy cavalry not only had strong soldiers but also had a magical saddle on the back of the horse, allowing people to sit steadily on the horse's back. His feet could also step on the foot cover and ride the horse without any effort.

This is why everyone ran hundreds of miles overnight but still didn't need to rest and could continue to fight directly.

Not long after, he made an even more amazing discovery. It turned out that all the war horses were nailed with iron blocks. With these iron blocks, there was no need to worry that the horse would run for too long and it would be worn out and the horse's hooves could not run.

Why were there so few cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period?

There are probably several reasons mentioned earlier, but there is another more important reason, that is, there is no saddle or horseshoe at this time.

The saddle can allow a soldier who is not very skilled in equestrianship to ride on and run quickly, allowing more skilled cavalry to save the problem of having to hold the horse's belly hard to keep the horse's belly flat in order to keep the horse's back flat.

Although it is just a simple supporting device, there is no advance awareness. In the late Han Dynasty, no one could have thought that there was one more thing, making riding a horse easier and labor-saving.

In addition, the real reason why the number of cavalry in the Three Kingdoms was that there was no horseshoe during this period.

The horse's hooves are actually equivalent to human nails. Once they rub against the ground for a long time, especially when the road conditions are too bad now, such continuous and rapid rushing will probably be less than a few hundred miles back and forth. If the horse's hooves are worn off, the horse will be ruined.

Therefore, it is not only difficult to raise horses in normal times, but also expensive. The main thing is to build a thousand cavalry. Often, two thousand horses are necessary, and even three thousand horses.

A cavalry must have at least two horses to be considered able to form combat effectiveness and barely exert the maneuverability of a cavalry. One man and three horses are actually the real standard configuration.

But the problem arises again. One person needs to be equipped with three horses, and one thousand cavalry requires three thousand horses. This consumption naturally costs a huge price.

Secondly, cavalry need to fight in wartime, and need to hurry up and rest during non-wartime, so who will these three horses come to take care of?

Therefore, it is often necessary to cultivate a cavalry, horse armor, armor and other expensive things that cost money. A cavalry alone requires at least two horses, and then a two to three-person logistics team is followed by. So this is the fundamental problem that in ancient times, the princes had no cavalry at all.

Even if there is, they often cannot play the characteristics of maneuvering and heavy riding. How can one person and one horse be played?

Many times, the cavalry of this period played the most deterrent role, which was a strategic type of troops. Just like today's modern strategic missiles, they were usually placed in warehouses without use. As long as they were available, their function would be enough.

Secondly, it is either used to reconnaissance, report information, or chase and harvest defeated soldiers. Who would really use it to rush thousands of miles?

But now for Zhao Mu, this is very different. With saddles and horseshoes, his war horse is a first-level biochemical war horse, so he doesn't need to bother with these problems at all.

More than three thousand black torrents were like a black ghost at night, full of coldness and murderous aura. Without rest, Zhao Mu led them into the Yangzhou realm and rushed into Zhang Chao's territory.

What was even more shocked by Cao Bao was that Zhao Mu seemed to be confident in knowing where Zhang Chao was at this time, and Zhao Mu took his men and horses and turned left and right, and rode his horse for several quarters of an hour.

Finally, everyone saw the open land in front of them from afar, covered with bright torches and camps, and the banners with the words "two" swaying under the night wind.

"This is Zhang Chao's temporary camp!" Cao Bao was shocked. He had no idea how Zhao Mu came directly from Zhang Chao's camp without the lead of the scouts.

It has to be said that Zhang Chao's rapid march was very fast. In just one day, he led his 30,000 troops less than a hundred miles away from Huaiyin.

But he never expected that the opponent he met was so fierce and perverted. In less than three hours, he rushed from the 600-mile low to Huaicheng overnight, and he also rushed to the place with a rush.

"Let's light the fire, apply oil, and shoot me to death later."

Zhao Mu looked at Zhang Chao's military camp at a glance, and there were not many soldiers patrolling the night guards. I guess even Zhang Chao didn't expect that Zhao Mu had the ability to attack at night now on his territory. After all, there were only less than two thousand third-rate guards in the entire Huai City.

This can only be said that it is not that Zhang Chao's marching awareness is too poor, but that the enemy is too distorted.

Zhao Mu gave the order, and then brutally spit out the word "kill".

Suddenly, about a mile away, as all the heavy cavalry rushed at full speed, it arrived in the blink of an eye. The earth was shocked, which shocked a few soldiers from the camp were shocked, but they still did not expect it to be the enemy's heavy cavalry.

Besides that, all the soldiers were still sleeping.

When the soldiers on duty finally discovered the black torrent heavy cavalry that were getting closer and closer, it was too late to see the Zhao flag blowing and swinging in the dark.

Zhao Mu took all the cavalry into two and ran around the entire barracks, and shot densely into the inside with a rocket.

The rocket with tinder oil was blown by the night wind, and the camps inside were filled with fire. Many enemy soldiers were burned by the fire in their sleep before they could react, and they screamed in despair.

Two heavy cavalry, one on the left and one on the right, shot around the barracks like a ring snake formation for several rounds. When the lucky survivors rushed out of the fire in the sky, the total 30,000 troops were not many.

Less than seven thousand soldiers saved their lives from the fire, but what awaited them was the rain of arrows.

As these soldiers were disorganized and their morale was greatly lost, the panicked soldiers fell down one row after another, and Zhao Mu raised his hand and stopped shooting arrows.

"The whole army obeyed the order and killed all of them, leaving no one behind."
