Chapter 602 Expensive New Arms
"Feifeng...fire cavalry?"
Shang Ji was a little confused when he heard the words, looked at Su Huan who was still kneeling on the ground, frowned and said, "Let's get up and talk first!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Su Huan got up, and then described the so-called Feifeng Huqi in detail.
Just like when Liu Yi used the [Scroll of Life and Death], Su Huan also got the same opportunity!
Previously, Su Huan's special unit was actually quite embarrassing. As a cavalry archer, Youlong bow cavalry can be regarded as a pretty good special unit.
It has strong mobility and can attack from a distance. The kite-flying tactics are first-rate!
However, in the Pingzhou Army, the Wandering Dragon Bow Cavalry was no match for the Silver Dragon Iron Cavalry, or even the Black Armored Black Cavalry in terms of mobility alone. Compared with the long-range attack ability, it is even worse than the specialized bow and arrow troops such as Xingyao Strong Bow and Sun Shooting Soldiers! Not only is the attack distance short and the attack frequency is low, but it also has negative effects such as weak attack power. Facing heavy armored infantry, the effect of the arrows shot by the Wandering Dragon Archer is quite weak.
It can still play the role of mobile harassment in small-scale battles, but its role in the current ultra-large-scale decisive battles that cost millions is greatly reduced.
Using the Dragon Bow Rider requires micromanagement, but in a large-scale melee with a unit of millions, no one can care about the micromanagement of the Dragon Bow Rider!
Su Huan, as the direct commander of Youlong Bowrider, is fully aware of its embarrassing situation, but it can't change it!
Once the special arms are formed, it is extremely difficult to change them. But Su Huan was lucky to meet the opportunity of Nanli God General.
After being transferred to Nanli God General, Su Huan ushered in a huge opportunity. According to the various characteristics provided by Nanli God General, plus his own creativity, he directly changed the original Wandering Dragon Bow Rider beyond recognition!
"What? You said that Feifenghuqi can really fly?"
Just now when Su Huan told about Feifeng Huqi, Shang Ji couldn't help shouting out.
"My lord, the flying phoenix and fire cavalry can indeed fly!" Su Huan suppressed the pride in his heart, and nodded solemnly!
"Tell me, tell me in detail!" Shang Ji urged excitedly.
An army that can fly! The strategic value quotient in this can be imagined with your heels!
Among other things, if the army could fly, wouldn't the tall city wall, which was the most difficult to crack in the past, become a decoration? Rivers, mountains and rivers and other terrains that restricted the army disappeared, and even crossed the hasty line of defense to raid the enemy's rear positions. It became easy for you to take the enemy's head among millions of troops.
"My lord, the last general's new exclusive special unit uses a giant flying eagle as a mount. It inherits the advantages of proficient bow skills from the Dragon Rider. At the same time, it is equipped with spears and other weapons to ensure that even if forced to engage in close combat, it can effectively destroy the enemy!"
"A giant flying eagle as a mount? Is this feasible?"
Shang Ji saw the key to Feifeng Huoqi at a glance. Like Liu Meng's Tanlangqi, the main feature is the mount problem!
"It's feasible. The general has seen a huge flying eagle with a wingspan of three feet near some coasts along the coast. It can be used by soldiers to ride."
"Of course, the flying phoenix and fire cavalry also has some flaws. For example, to reduce the burden on the flying eagle as much as possible, the soldiers can only wear light armor, which will have insufficient defense. In addition, giant flying eagles are generally carnivores , the cost of raising them may be much higher than normal cavalry. Finally, the number of giant flying eagles that can be used as mounts directly affects the number of flying phoenix fire cavalry, and it is expected that the number of flying phoenix fire cavalry will not be too many!"
While Su Huan was talking, Shang Ji opened Su Huan's profile and checked it himself.

Special Arms: Flying Phoenix and Fire Cavalry
[Flying Phoenix and Fire Cavalry]: A low-level special unit at the ground level, with a giant flying eagle as a mount, it can fly and move quickly in short and medium distances. A special unit that can use simple flame attacks and is proficient in bow and gun skills.
Satisfied with Su Huan's attribute version, Shang Ji clapped his hands and said: "Very good! The Phoenix Fire Cavalry is very important, and I will order you to set up the Feifeng Fire Cavalry from now on. Just let me know if you need any help!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
Su Huan was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed.
"My lord, the difficulty of the flying phoenix and fire cavalry is mainly concentrated on the mount and equipment. I will not talk about the mount. I plan to lead my subordinates to capture the giant eagle tomorrow. However, due to the limited carrying capacity of the flying eagle, the flying phoenix and fire cavalry The armor needs to be as light as possible, but if it is too light, the defense will be greatly reduced. In order to make up for this, the armor used by Feifeng Huoqi is mainly made of leather from various rare and exotic animals. This leads to The training price of Feifeng Huoqi has skyrocketed, and please forgive me, my lord!"
As he said that, Su Huan presented a blueprint for manufacturing special equipment for Feifeng Huqi, and Shang Ji took a look at it, and immediately felt a bit of a headache!
Not counting those messy little things, a set of flying phoenix fire cavalry suit includes a set of armor, a longbow, a long spear, and some defensive equipment for the vital parts of the mount. Fortunately, the longbow and long spear are all silver-level equipment, but Shang Ji can still afford them.
But Jiajia is going to kill people. Not everyone is qualified to use the beast leather! In ordinary armies, high-grade leather is used to line the armor of senior generals, and it is a bit extravagant to use it as defensive equipment alone.
In addition, leather is leather after all. Except for a very few very powerful beasts, leather armor of the same value is a younger brother in front of metal armor, and the price/performance ratio is extremely low!
Shang Ji roughly estimated that the cost price of a complete set of Feifeng Huoqi's equipment would be around 2,000 gold, of which the armor accounted for four-fifths!
This is only the price of the equipment, not including the expenditure of the giant flying eagle and the knight itself. To be selected into the Flying Phoenix Fire Cavalry, one must be an elite soldier, and the minimum must start at the sixth rank. A soldier of this strength will be paid at least ten gold a month. If the strength is stronger, the salary will be doubled.
Counting the daily consumption of Flying Eagle, the annual maintenance cost of a Flying Phoenix Fire Cavalry will not be less than one thousand gold!
The annual maintenance cost of normal fourth-tier ordinary soldiers will never exceed 20 gold, which is a difference of 50 times. If the cost of formation is included, the difference is more than 100 times!
Before the appearance of Feifenghuqi, the most expensive individual in the Pingzhou Army was Yingyi Miwu, but Yingyi Miwu was not considered an official army. After Yingyi Miwu was Guo Biao's 10,000 bloodthirsty Tiger Army.
But from today onwards, the throne of the most expensive unit will be given over to Feifeng and Firerider!
Although the flying phoenix fire cavalry is outrageously expensive, Shang Ji still decided to form the Feifeng fire cavalry without hesitation!
For nothing else, the simple fact that someone can fly is worth a lot of money!
"Submit this blueprint to Master Lu, let Master Lu try to build a thousand sets first, and allow you to freely select candidates from the original Dragon Bow Riders, and train a batch of samples first. If the effect meets expectations, then fully expand !"
"Thank you, Lord Hong En!"
Su Huan's face was overjoyed, and he knelt down on the ground immediately, thanking him loudly.
"Don't rush to be happy, if the final result is unsatisfactory, then you will suffer!"
With the guarantee of the system, it is basically impossible to fail in training. If it is not enough business, I beat Su Huan to prevent him from getting carried away.
"Don't worry, my lord, if there is any failure, I will come to see you at the end!"
"By the way, is Feifeng Huoqi afraid of fire?"
Hearing Shang Ji's words, Su Huan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "My lord, you are joking, the flying phoenix fire cavalry can easily override the flames, ordinary flames can't hurt the flying phoenix fire cavalry at all!"
Shang Ji's eyes lit up when he heard the words. If this is true, it seems that there is a way to greatly reduce the training cost of Feifenghuqi!
However, because Feifeng Huoqi hadn't really formed yet, Shang Ji couldn't make random changes, so he temporarily buried his thoughts in his heart.
"Well, let's go down, I'll give you a month, and after a month, I'm going to bring you all to inspect the Phoenix and Fire Cavalry!"
"The last general is waiting for the lord and all the generals to drive!"
Seeing Su Huan's high-spirited look, Shang Ji smiled, as if thinking of something, and suddenly asked: "Do you have an idea in mind for capturing and domesticating giant eagles?"
"Returning to my lord, the last general has already realized something in his heart after he was transferred to Nanli God General. Although the success rate is not very high, it's just a matter of spending more effort!"
"Well!"
After pondering for a while, Shang Ji waved his hand, and a radiant feather appeared in his hand. With a light toss, the feather floated towards Su Huan.
"I'm lending this to you temporarily, I hope you won't let me down!"
Su Huan subconsciously took the flying feather, looked down, his face changed drastically, and his whole body trembled with excitement!
This thing is exactly the super strange thing that Shang Ji just got——[Suzaku Feather]!
