Chapter 69 The wonder of the saddle kicks up!

"I heard what Xu Fu said when I was at sea..." Zhao Si smiled and decisively turned the blame on Xu Fu.

"He is just a polite man, he knows nothing about training troops and fighting!" Wang Li was amused when he heard this. Now, Xu Fu, a liar, has basically been completely nailed to death with Zhao Si returning from sea.

"If you want to ride a horse on the back, you have to take care of riding a horse. How can you use all your strength to bend your bow and hit the arrow? Therefore, riding a bow is not as good as stepping on the bow." Wang said with his mouth.

"For example, if you stand on the ground, you can pull three stone bows, and you can only pull two stones on the horse's back, or even one stone." Wang left his mouth and said.

"Not to mention, the Great Qin crossbow was already famous in the six countries during the Warring States Period. The Hu people rode horses and had not yet reached the range of shooting. If they dared to stop shooting, they would not have the chance to get on the horse even if they were several times different." Wang Li shook his head and said.

Zhao Si nodded and said, "Then, facing the Huns and leaning against the Great Wall, wouldn't it be invincible?"

Wang Li paused... and then he was silent for a long time and said, "It's okay to say so."

"But that's not what war counts." Wang said, leaving.

"The Huns have many tribes and uneven people's hearts. The second is not to do production, and their weapons and armor are far inferior to the Great Qin. In addition to infantry and chariots, cavalrymen are also famous all over the world, far better than the Hus, with sufficient food and grass, and they are backed by the Great Qin. As long as they do not go rashly, they will be invincible." Wang Legs the mouth and replied.

"But it's not that the cavalry cannot defeat infantry." Wang Li recalled the first battle against Chu that his father Wang Jian had personally reviewed for him. The man's tactical ideas have made Wang Li feel as if he was above the mountain.

"The arch is far better than the cavalry bow. Under normal circumstances, if a cavalry fights in a formation, it is difficult for the cavalry to impulse the archery formation several times, but there is only one thing, the cavalry is stronger than the infantry." Wang Li's face was calm.

"move!"

When Wang Li talked about the rise, he simply drew a circle on the ground. Then he drew two small circles and wrote about riding and stairs.

"Look, suppose this is a battlefield, this is a hundred thousand infantry, and this is a hundred thousand cavalry. Now the battle begins, the cavalry mobilizes and assembles far faster than the infantry." Wang left his mouth and said.

"Secondly, assuming that both of them are coming here and setting off at the same time, the cavalry will arrive first than the infantry."

After Wang Li finished speaking, he put a few stones in the circle.

"What if these places are important food and grass roads, granaries, and cities?"

"The cavalry arrived first than the infantry." Zhao Si answered.

"But how do cavalry attack the city?" Zhao Si asked back.

"Will the cavalry get off the horse and not fight? If there are not many defenders in the city, the number of people is too large, and the number of people is not tall enough, the number of people is big enough, and the number of people is big enough, it is easy to break the city. If the city is strong, siege equipment can also be made." Wang Li replied.

"The current time is enough for infantry to return to help?" Zhao Si asked again. The siege equipment was built for too long, and the infantry had enough time for them to return to help.

"How do you know if I did it or not? Do you really want to attack the city?" Wang Li asked.

Zhao Si stopped...

"Play your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!" Wang Li shook his head with a smile.

"If the cavalry wants to defeat the infantry, they have to move. If the infantry wants to defeat the cavalry, they have to make the cavalry unable to move." The king said with his mouth.

"In other words, if the infantry is too tired and runs, the cavalry may create a situation where the few win more. If the cavalry cannot move at all, the infantry will wait for work and the formation is solid, and the few can win more." Zhao Si inexplicably thought of the Queyue Formation.

Liu Yu defeated 20,000 elite cavalry of the Wei army with two thousand infantrymen.

"I think so too, but my father said that soldiers, regardless of cavalry, infantry, chariots, they always defeat the weak with the strong and the weak with the more." Wang Li shook his head.

"So as you say, after having a horse-drawn saddle, there is not much difference in cavalry shooting, and the cavalry will be far better than infantry." Zhao Si was puzzled again.

"It's not like this, it's not like this!" Wang Li shook his head.

"Even with a saddle, the range of riding a bow cannot exceed that of a step bow." Wang Li stood up and pulled the bow and took the arrow.

"Look, even if there is a saddle, it is impossible to exert such force on the horse's back." The posture made by Wang Li is the most typical front and back curved side step, and is the best force position to pull the bow.

Obviously, even if there is a saddle, even if it is still, the force posture is not as good as standing on the ground.

"The wonder of the saddle is to fight immediately!"

Wang Li was excited and told Zhao Si, and Zhao Si understood.

When there is no saddle, the horse's back is really unstable, and it is difficult to perform cavalry assaults. It must be the elite among the elite soldiers.

Therefore, it is difficult to use long weapons on the horse's back.

The center of gravity of the long weapon is too unstable, so you have to use both hands. However, using a single-handed short weapon cannot exert its impact strength and condescending advantage, but you have to be stabbed by someone with a long weapon.

So in this era, the cavalry has not been ranked on the stage of the world's No. 1 stage competition in the Central Plains.

They are chariots, standing in the carriage, holding long weapons, and you ride on a horse with a short sword and playing with a hammer. Not to mention chariots, infantry formations can't be penetrated.

If it weren't for a particularly elite cavalry, the two armies would have been handed over and suddenly collided, and they might have fallen off the horse before they were killed.

With the riding saddle, the cavalry can better and easier exert impact and condescending advantages.

"In the past, when the opponent had already arranged the infantry array, he would even have to dismount and fight." Wang Li smiled bitterly on his face.

This is a fact. Once the opponent's formation is strong, the disadvantages of using short weapons on the cavalry's horse will be infinitely magnified.

"Is there no cavalry that can use weapons to grow?" Zhao Si spoke.

"Yes, but very few. The sum is no more than ten thousand."

Several conditions are required to use long weapons to fight on horseback.

1: Use long weapons with unstable center of gravity when the body cannot exert full force.

2: When you stop and advance quickly, you only rely on your legs to maintain your body stability. Because playing with long weapons with one hand is not something that ordinary people can do.

If you don’t have to use cavalry on a chariot? That’s not a bad brain.

Therefore, in this era, even if the number of cavalrymen is superior, it is difficult to play.

"But it's different with a kickstand saddle. It's easy to use long soldiers on the horse's back! Although the force is not as comfortable as the ground, the charge of carrying war horses is far better than that of infantry."

"Do you still remember what you told you just now?" Wang Li pointed to the simple picture on the ground.

"With the saddle, as long as the cavalry moves, the situation of fighting less is easily broken down the infantry formation." Wang Li said excitedly.

"Then wouldn't the cavalry crush the infantry?" Zhao Si asked again.

"No... Even with the saddle, the cavalry will be extremely dangerous to charge. The same number of people, with sufficient preparation, and it is difficult for the cavalry to rush. There are too many things that infantry can arrange..." Wang Li shook his head.

"So I said, the cavalry must have the advantage in numbers or the infantry is not prepared enough." The king left his mouth.

Zhao Si immediately understood that it turned out that the horse-dressing saddle improved the cavalry's ability to abuse vegetables.

In other words, as long as the infantry is not elite enough, the current cavalry can fight as soon as the speed of light strikes and destroys.

Unlike before, we have to dismount and fight.

With the kickstand saddle, the original combat time can be reduced several times.

As for the fact that it is impossible to defeat the infantry by relying on a three-piece set of horses, the advantage of cavalry has always been sports operations.

However, the current cavalry will become more flexible, have stronger assault capabilities, faster strike speed, and give the enemy a shorter reaction time and mobilization distance.

As for the cavalry, they want to truly destroy and attack the infantry formation.

unless!

He completely abandoned his sports combat capabilities!

Heavy cavalry!

Zhao Si spoke in great enthusiasm.

"I have a bold idea!"

(Everything comparison is based on the fact that the cavalry and infantry are of equal strength.

In fact, because of the preciousness of war horses and the diversity and possibility of cavalry combat, ancient cavalry soldiers were often more elite than infantry. A qualified cavalry dismounted as a qualified infantry, and a qualified infantry mounted as a horse may not be a qualified cavalry. Therefore, the ancient battlefield easily gave people the illusion that cavalry was destroying the infantry. The elite level itself was not the same level. The same military expenditure, the same food, the same quality of the soldiers, the same number, the number of people was more than 5,000. If the movement and combat were not considered, the light cavalry would not be able to rush the infantry.)
