"Prince, the enemy sent a scout, and we have already solved it." The escort of the vanguard soldier came over and said.

"Okay, we can leave now." Shi Huaiyi said.

He led the flying cavalry, and the number of people was not large, but was not the one who stayed behind. The purpose was to observe the situation of the pursuit team and eliminate it if there was a chance.

"Prince, Tiel's horse equipment is brought back."

When the intercepting flying cavalry comes back, if you want to understand the opponent's combat effectiveness, you need to understand their weapons and equipment.

"Governor, the long sword they used was thick and wide, with a tilted head." The flying guards said.

After careful study, Shi Huaiyi found that not only the weapons and enemies' armor were very distinctive, but it seemed that the entire armor was actually embedded in the leather armor, and the defense was surprisingly good if it was not heavy on the cowhide.

Importantly, although such armor is not as good as plate armor, it is low in cost and light in weight, and is more suitable for cavalry use. Their horses are also protected.

War horses are very different from those of the Turkic people. Horses are slightly smaller but those who know horses can tell at a glance that although they are slightly smaller, they have outstanding endurance.

That is to say, the Tiel cavalry are capable of long-distance raids and fighting. Looking at their weapons, they are very good at chopping and slashing. It is not difficult to guess that they are not good at rushing, but are good at cavalry confrontation.

"What else is there," Shi Huaiyi asked.

"No more." Feiqiu escort said.

"Try their swords." Shi Huaiyi said.

One of the two guards held the iron-clad weapon, the other side used their vanguard's long sword, the same thick-backed sword.

"Wait, change to an ordinary one." Shi Huaiyi said.

In terms of weapons, all the troops of the Pioneer Army are provided by the weapons workshop in Youzhou, and the equipment of the personal guards is built with a dedicated team, which is costly and time-consuming.

The reason for this arrangement is not because the personal guards are superior, but because their combat power is suitable for various tactical arrangements with fewer people, and each battle will be very dangerous.

Shi Huaiyi asked someone to change a weapon to test it to see how different the enemy's weapons were against the weapons of the Sui Kingdom and whether they would be better.

If you don’t need the weapons of the personal guard, you are still afraid of cutting off the enemy’s weapons directly, so it will be difficult to continue testing.

"Let's start." Shi Huaiyi said.

The two guards started the test, without any fancy moves, just colliding with all their might. After dozens of jingling sounds, they were looking at the gaps of the weapons of both sides.

"The test results of the commander's test have come out. Tiele's weapons are good at chopping, heavy and wear-resistant, and are more superior to the ring knife of Sui State. According to observation, it only depends on Tiele's sword width." The guard said.

"Try our weapons again."

All the weapons of the vanguard soldiers were wider than those of the Tang sword, and they were made of hundreds of refined steel, which could withstand several times the toughness than the weapons of the Sui Kingdom.

After the test, he said, "Although Tiele's weapons are thicker than ordinary swords, they have been rolled up after being chopped with strength."

"Our knife has a slight curling blade but it can still be used." The guard continued.

Shi Huaiyi looked carefully at the place where the two swords were rolled, and learned that the opponent's weapons were still not as good as the vanguard soldiers, so he then conducted a test of the weapons.

The main one is the defense of arrows.

The armor-breaking arrows of the pioneer soldiers are all aimed at plate armor with excellent defense. The arrows are sharp and small, which can have the effect of breaking armor. Look at the armor-breaking arrows of Tieler, which can easily penetrate.

The problem is that since the enemy's defense is not good, there is no need to use armor-breaking arrows. The arrows are sharp but cannot cause too much damage, which is also considered the disadvantage of armor-breaking arrows.

"Change some heavy arrows." Shi Huaiyi continued.

The arrows that Shi Huaiyi said were used by the secret crescent moons and only the personal guards. The arrows are unique in shape, which are used to deal with those without heavy armor, such as horses.

The principle is very simple, which causes huge trauma, which has great lethality but not penetrating power. If the enemy is wearing plate armor, the final result will not have much effect beyond the impact of the force that can cause a impact on it.

Now Shi Huaiyi is not sure if he changes to leather armor and iron armor. He has to try various arrows. Although it is dark, it does not affect the archer's hit.

Besides, there are torches to help illuminate them, which is not completely smearing.

After dozens of tests, Tiele's armor had become a hedgehog, and after taking it back, the guards began to think about it.

The soldiers are all professional, and they analyze the damage caused to the armor by arrows one by one, so as to find a way to restrain the enemy.

This is the tactical arrangement of the pioneer soldiers, and it moves the brain.

It took not long for the flying cavalry to catch up with the horse team. They didn't have many people and wanted to hurry up very quickly. They divided a team of 100 people, which was very stressful for the management of cattle, sheep and horses, and the speed of travel was much slower.

"Governor, we're back."

Shi Huaiyi told them about the things they encountered that they could test the enemy's weapons one by one.

Li De looked at the armor that was no longer in appearance and felt that the equipment of the Tiel Cavalry was desirable, and the built-in leather armor reduced the cost.

As for defense, there is really not much defense except wearing heavy armor. If it is replaced by light armor, the speed will be faster.

The consequence is that casualties will increase, but it is unpredictable for war.

Even wearing heavy armor is not invincible. Ordinary swords may be difficult to hurt them. If you replace them with hammers and axes, the damage will be doubled.

Li De will not be superstitious about the invincibility of heavy armor, and the main thing is often the right one.

"The Tiel Cavalry is very alert, and their pursuit method is more rational, so beware of it."

Li De knew it through Shi Huaiyi's narration, and he was even more careful about the Tiel Cavalry.

"For safety, let the brothers of the flying cavalry go back to the observation outpost and ask someone to come and escort them."

Shi Huaiyi immediately arranged for someone to go back and report the letter.

At this time, the commander of the Tiel Cavalry had already arranged for people to go back to report the news. The caravan had a heavy shield. This was the first time they encountered this situation. They originally thought the caravan was prepared.

Many caravans have certain self-protection capabilities in this way. It is not surprising that they can fight. What makes the leader suspicious is the trap of horse traps and the caravan's reaction speed.

The caravans definitely do not have such alertness and action. They had thought about killing and setting fire to the golden belt, so they had already taken it seriously.

The former is to make money, while the latter is to make military achievements.
