Chapter 230 Barbarian Wolf Cavalry(1/2)
Su Anlin thought about it, but didn't mention it much in his mind.
After all, he is just a martial artist and the leader of a small gang. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot influence the war between the two countries.
No matter how strong a person is, facing thousands of troops, even if you can kill a hundred, what about a thousand or ten thousand?
There will always be times when you are exhausted.
Just like when he dealt with the people on the flower boat last night, even though he killed them smoothly, in fact, after the fight, he consumed nearly half of them.
How many people did it cost him so much?
This is the difference in war.
"I'm a martial artist, so I don't know much about these things." Su Anlin told the truth.
Yang Wenli smiled bitterly and said: "That's all, originally I wanted to recruit you into the army. With your strength, you will definitely be able to become a general."
"A general doesn't just need force, he also needs tactics and strategies, which I don't know much about." Su Anlin said modestly.
"By the way, Hall Master Su, you saved me this time and also solved the big fish of the Yin Sect. Your hard work is great. I don't know what reward you want?"
Yang Wenli asked: "You can tell me, even if you have an official position, I will tell my father."
Official position?
Su Anlin had a strange look on his face. He disliked being an official the most.
After becoming an official, how can he find time to earn experience points?
He immediately shook his head and said: "Forget about the official position, I have enough gold and silver, but if I can reward you with a title, that's fine."
The so-called title is a position similar to that of a marquis like Yang Wenli.
This kind of person has no real power, but there is no need to bow and kneel when seeing any official.
This is privilege.
Yang Wenli was curious: "The title is a trivial matter, but it doesn't have any real power. Are you sure?"
"Sure, I'm not asking too much."
"Okay, I will talk to my father when I get back, but Hall Master Su, do you really not want to consider joining our army?"
"I'm really not interested."
"Hey, forget it." Yang Wenli sighed and thought to himself: "In recent years, the number of barbarian wolf cavalry has increased and increased, and the border is in a hurry. Although we also have wolf cavalry in Daxia, the number is not large, so we have been eating continuously in recent years.
defeat."
Wolf Cavalry is a special type of military force in this world.
Unlike ordinary cavalry, wolf cavalry has soldiers sitting on wolves.
Those were not ordinary wolves, but black wolf beasts that were similar to horses.
Su Anlin had hunted some of this kind of wolf beast in the jungle before. It was so big that it could sit on a person.
Wolf cavalry has many advantages over horses. For example, it can be instantly converted into combat power on the battlefield. Its momentum is enough to oppress horses and frighten enemy horses.
The disadvantage is that the endurance for long distances is not as good as that of horses, and the pulling power is also insufficient.
The degree of domestication is even more of a shortcoming. It is difficult to completely domesticate wolves. In some camps, there have even been incidents of wolves killing people, causing riots.
Yang Wenli said a lot in one breath.
He has been fighting against barbarians in the Western Regions since he was a teenager, and suffered many losses from wolf cavalry.
In the early years, no one had wolf cavalry. Although the barbarian war horses in the Western Regions had more horses, they still had no obvious advantage.
But decades ago, barbarians in the Western Region began to raise black wolves. As the number of black wolves increased, the destructive effects they caused were great.
Over the years, they have learned to raise black wolves, but the effect has always been a little worse, not to mention the number, which is much less.
Su Anlin frowned and said: "Although the black wolf beast is ferocious, in the final analysis it is similar to a war horse. It relies on impact to kill people. It is enough to deal with the black wolf beast in the same way as a war horse."
"To deal with war horses? How to deal with war horses?"
Yang Wenli was curious.
Su Anlin took a step back and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yang, you are also a person who has fought in wars. Don't you know how to deal with war horses?"
Yang Wenli shook his head innocently.
"No, you..." Su Anlin was about to say, but after thinking about it, he changed his approach: "Then how did you deal with war horses in the past?"
"Of course, we use war horses to fight war horses, and then we skillfully use formations to lure the enemy deep, and then we outflank the rear and catch them all in one fell swoop. Or it is a confrontation between two armies, and we use the stronger ones as the vanguard to penetrate into the enemy's heartland...
…”
Su Anlin's face became increasingly weird.
"In other words, the most you can do is use cavalry against cavalry!"
"yes."
"There's no caltrops? Are there no horse guns?"
"Uh... Hall Master Su, what kind of weapons are these you are talking about?"
Seeing Yang Wenli's confused look, Su Anlin slapped his head.
He knew why he couldn't win. Apart from various reasons, the most important thing was that he had no special means to deal with the galloping horses and wolf cavalry.
Yang Wenli realized that Su Anlin seemed to have a way to deal with the wolf cavalry, and for a while, his thirst for knowledge also increased.
"Palace Master Su, tell me about those iron caltrops and horse-rejecting guns. What are they used for?"
Su Anlin said truthfully: "Of course it is used against cavalry, including wolf cavalry. It is effective."
"How many people are needed to use this kind of weapon?" Yang Wenli asked quickly.
"Uh... you just need to set up a trap. It's similar to a trap." Su Anlin said.
Then he began to explain what caltrops were.
Tribulus is composed of four iron nails. No matter how it is thrown on the ground, there will always be one nail pointing upward.
Once you scatter this stuff to the enemy's attack area, you can imagine that if the wolf cavalry steps on it, they will fall in batches.
After listening to Su Anlin's explanation, Yang Wenli's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Okay, this is a good thing. Why didn't I think of it before? Hall Master Su, I am becoming more and more curious about you. How did you learn these things?"
Su Anlin said casually: "When we were fighting before, I saw someone using this to stab someone's horse."
"If we have this thing, we can definitely deal with the wolf cavalry. By the way, what is the carbine?"
"Hey, let's eat first, eat first."
At this time, Duan Ying and Chen Ruxuan finished cooking.
Yang Wenli could only hold back his curiosity and ate first.
After eating, Yang Wenli couldn't help it anymore: "No, Hall Master Su, I think you need to go to the border with me to make the caltrops and the horse gun."
Su Anlin said: "It's easy to do this. I'll just make two samples here for you later."
These two things are very simple. Anyone who has gone to high school or studied some historical literature can almost understand them.
Who knows, Yang Wenli shook his head and said: "No, I'm worried that after I go there, what I make will be different from what you said, and we don't understand how to use it, so I have to ask Hall Master Su to come over."
As he spoke, Yang Wenli gritted his teeth and knelt down directly in front of Su Anlin.
"Mr. Yang, get up quickly."
Su Anlin was speechless. What kind of trouble was this? Why did he kneel down in front of me?
After helping Yang Wenli up, Yang Wenli said with red eyes: "The border officers used their lives to prevent the barbarian invasion. Hall Master Su, you have a way to save people, but you can't just ignore them."
"Master Su, I know what you are worried about. You don't like the officials in the imperial court, and to be honest, I don't like them either, so I can promise that after you go there, when the soldiers learn how to do it, I will let you leave!"
"Besides this, I will definitely write a letter in person and dedicate it to Your Majesty, informing Your Majesty of your merits and promoting you to a higher rank."
Su Anlin was not interested in getting promoted to a higher rank or anything like that.
He still didn't want to go to any battlefield.
After all, it's too far away, and he still has a lot of things to do here.
"Well, Hall Master Su, the border is actually not far away. Aren't you from Heshui County? Keep walking towards Heshui County and you'll arrive in about ten days."
Duan Ying said from the side.
"Yes, please also ask Hall Master Su to agree."
Su Anlin's heart moved. Will it be there in ten days?
This is not impossible.
He didn't want to go at first because he thought it was far away.
If the distance is not too far now, you can consider it.
Moreover, for the barbarian enemy troops, they also receive experience points in batches.
