    Chapter 44: Iron-armored Chain Horse

    Although there was surprise in his words, Artest still had great doubts about the smooth implementation of this plan.  The Kasyapa Empire was extremely weak in terms of cavalry. Not only did it lack enough horses, but it also lacked well-trained cavalry.  Taking the more than a thousand cavalry currently owned by Artest as an example, it is certainly not a problem to ask them to charge, but it is inevitably a bit unrealistic to ask them to form a difficult coordination.

    "So we don't need too difficult cooperation from the cavalry. As long as the horses can form a dense charge, we're done." An Ruoran smiled and patted Artest on the shoulder, turning his head to look at the slowly passing horse.  The war horse said, "Your Highness, did you hear the armored chain horse? If there is this kind of fighting method in France, then just pretend that I didn't say anything."

    But looking at Artest¡¯s expression, it¡¯s obvious that France doesn¡¯t have this kind of fighting style.  In fact, His Highness couldn't wait to grab An Ruoran and asked in a deep voice: "Mr. An, I understand the meaning of iron armor, which is to put heavy armor on both knights and horses. So, the so-called chain refers to  "

    "Unexpectedly, I can also be a military strategist!" An Ruoran suddenly felt light and airy after being looked at by an army commander with such eager eyes.  Fortunately, he came back to his senses immediately, sorted out the little knowledge in his mind and said: "The so-called chain, of course, refers to connecting the war horses in one place. To put it simply, ten horses are in a row, connected to each other with iron ropes.  When fighting, ten of them charge into battle together, and their power is irresistible."

    In fact, the battle method of armored chain horses was unique to ancient China. It can be seen in both novels and historical facts, and it is naturally familiar to ordinary people.  After Artest heard An Ruoran's prompt, his eyes suddenly opened up, as if he had seen the scene of thousands of troops galloping.  But after he was furious for a while, he suddenly shook his head, frowned and said, "No! If we charge like this, what should we do if a war horse falls?"

    "Untie the iron rope. We have set up a mechanism on the iron rope in advance. If something goes wrong, we can untie it in time." An Ruoran answered without thinking, then smiled and blinked, "But the specifics of how to charge and how to form a formation to move forward, these  It¡¯s up to you and the general to think, I¡¯m only responsible for giving suggestions and helping you cast parts.¡±

    Hearing him shirk the burden so irresponsibly, Artest suddenly frowned and said goodbye casually.  An Ruoran ignored him and directly greeted everyone in the floating city to come into camp and rest. After all, staying in the sky from morning to night was a bit boring.  But in less than two hours, Artest hurriedly found them and asked breathlessly: "Mr. An, I have decided to implement this fighting method. How do you think we should prepare?"

    "I knew you would come back, and I have already drawn a rough design for you." An Ruoran smiled, took a design from the round table and handed it to Artest, "Simply put, whether it is  Both knights and war horses need to wear heavy armor. I know that you don¡¯t have enough war horse armor in your military camp, so it¡¯s best to melt some of the soldiers¡¯ armor and then cast it again.¡±

    Seeing that An Ruoran had even considered this point for him, Artest naturally had no objections. He immediately ordered to summon all the blacksmiths and magic casters in the camp to start building new models for the knights and war horses according to the requirements of the design drawings.  of armor.  Due to the strength of the sea whale warriors, the heavy armored infantry that the Kasyapa Empire was proud of did not exert its combat effectiveness. In this case, Artest simply deprived some of the heavy armored infantry's equipment and melted them again.  Casting.

    "It's just that to build a complete set of equipment for 1,500 cavalry, this not only requires a lot of materials, but also a lot of time.  In view of this, An Ruoran suggested to Artest after considering the specific situation that it is not necessary to follow the design to do everything, just focus on the frontal impact capabilities of the knights and horses.

    According to this idea, some of the lagging horses were covered with leather armor, but the first 500 horses responsible for charging had to make metal armor leaves that could cover the head, face, neck and torso.  Considering the weight of the horse, a magician must specifically cast the light feather technique to ensure the charging speed of the war horse.

    "Compared with the complexity and cumbersomeness of war horse equipment, the heavy armor casting on the knight's side is much more convenient, but it takes a little more work on the weapons.  According to An Ruoran's prior idea, he planned to have all knights use long spears, but after examining the charging situation of the war horses, Artest only recommended that the first 500 war horses charge with long spears, and the rest use broad swords instead.  and giant axes to ensure a wide range of damage.

    Regarding Artest's proposal, An Ruoran readily agreed after thinking for a moment, but he put forward his own opinions on the spear of the Cavaliers' charge.  You must know that those giant whale warriors are wearing heavy armor and are very thick-skinned.They are rough, and it is still a question whether ordinary spears can pierce them.  So after discussing with the magic casters accompanying the army, everyone decided to recast a new weapon called the dragon spear. This dragon spear is half a meter longer than an ordinary spear. The reason why it is named dragon spear is because it has inlays on the top.  Got the remaining dragon crystal fragments.

    "But it's not just that!" Looking at the first forged dragon spear, An Ruoran smiled sinisterly, patted the tip of the dragon spear and said, "Everyone, dragons can breathe fire.  Creature. So how can we let the dragon gun live up to its name, so I personally suggest setting up a mechanism on the top of the dragon gun"

    No matter how high-sounding his words are, there is no difference between this method and a sneak attack.  However, while everyone lamented how shameless it was, they also collectively raised their hands and approved this shameless suggestion.  However, as a result, the originally scheduled casting time was delayed again. Although Kasyapa's army did not mind taking a temporary break, the Hai Clan began to take the opportunity to show off their power, and it seemed that they could no longer bear it.

    Taking advantage of Kasyapa¡¯s army¡¯s inability to retreat, these sea warriors naturally harassed them wildly, and several villages were destroyed by their sneak attacks in the past few days.  Seeing this, everyone could only turn their hatred into motivation, seize the opportunity to forge equipment, and train the knights to adapt to the new tactics.  By the time everything was successfully completed, half a month had passed, and the envoy of the Sea Clan finally couldn't help but send a letter of challenge and a complete set of women's evening dresses

    "Interesting, are you mocking us for being so cowardly as women?" Seeing the envoy leaving arrogantly, An Ruoran couldn't help but smile and turned to look at Artest beside him.  His Highness drank coffee in silence, but suddenly he smashed the cup. He stood up and shouted angrily: "Tell all the troops to prepare for a full-scale attack this afternoon. This time, we must kick the butts of those bastards away!"

    With Artest¡¯s shout, this order spread throughout the entire military camp in an instant, and the soldiers who had been holding back their anger for more than ten days began to work vigorously and resolutely.  By the time An Ruoran lazily arrived at the Floating City with the Heavenly Sword, the two armies below had already assembled and were confronting each other in the distance on the plain.

    "Want to make a bet to see which side will win?" An Ruoran tossed up a few gold coins, but received only blank stares from everyone.  After witnessing the power of the armored chain horse in the military camp training ground, only a fool would place a bet on the side of the Sea Tribe.  However, the Sea Clan, who did not understand this situation, still launched the attack first

    "Be careful, beware of any conspiracy of these humans!" Desla waved his hand gently, signaling the giant whale warrior to start leading the Sea Tribe camp to slowly advance forward.  However, while feeling proud, he did not forget to tell Heigl beside him to be wary of magical attacks from Kasyapa's army.  However, the development of the battle situation made him breathe a sigh of relief quickly. Kasyapa's army continued to charge forward as before, relying on heavy armored infantry, and resisted the giant whale warriors without any suspense.

    There is no doubt that the result of this kind of fighting will not be any different from usual.  About half an hour later, Kasyapa's battle formation collapsed amid the slow advance of 1,500 giant whale warriors.  Seeing this, Desla couldn't help but smile slightly, turned to look at Heigl beside him and said: "Very good, then the only thing we have to worry about is the magic attack and the floating fortress. Order the giant whale  The warriors assemble and launch a full-scale attack, and at the same time let the three elders launch the magical defense formation in the heart of the ocean."

    However, at this moment, a majestic horn sound suddenly sounded from behind Kassapa's formation!  The collapsing Kasyapa army seemed to have received an order. Hundreds of magic blasts were launched into the sky at the same time, blasting directly towards the Sea Clan camp that was approaching step by step.  At this moment, the Heart of the Ocean quickly launched a magic defense formation to block all attacks.  But as a result, the speed of the Sea Clan's advance slowed down, and Kasyapa's army, which got a chance to breathe, suddenly separated to both sides, revealing the terrifying weapons hidden in the formation

    "Then, what is that?" Suddenly seeing the cavalry array like a black city wall, Desla and Heigl couldn't help but exclaimed, faintly aware that something was wrong.  But before they could come to their senses, the black "city wall" had slowly started to jog forward in a uniform manner, but then gradually turned into a gallop!

    In a moment, this huge "city wall" had successfully approached the center of the battlefield. The smoke and dust brought by the war horses filled the entire sky, making it impossible to see what was happening a few meters away.  Several giant whale warriors sneered and raised the anchor, preparing to give these reckless Kasyapa cavalry a blow.  However, a few seconds later, when they saw the huge beast speeding towards them, they couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, and suddenly fell into petrification
