Chapter 156 Cavalry Combat
"No need, I can still believe the level of General Ives. The previous defeat was not due to his command." Edward simply shook his head. He absolutely recognized Ives's military level, and more than that.
As for the military level and local political management level, Ives can still do it. Otherwise, it would not have developed from a city with only 30,000 border troops to a large border city with a population of nearly 300,000 people.
, to say that he has no level of political management, Edward said he would not believe it.
"Yes! It's just those five thousand elite cavalry. If something goes wrong, then we will suffer great losses!" There was still a general who did not have a good relationship with Ives, but he still said it. In his eyes, Edward was still
How did you know that you were determined to cultivate Ives?
After returning from Ives's defeat, Edward not only failed to hold Avis accountable, but instead arranged for people to comfort Avis, and then chose the commander of the vanguard army. Edward even excluded other people's suggestions and directly
Ives was put in charge, and even the most elite cavalry was now under the command of Ives. This great love made those guys who had done harm to Ives feel uneasy.
"Well! Can you just go up there? If you have the ability to lead five thousand cavalry for enough time, I will immediately send someone to bring General Ives back and let you take charge!" Edward glanced over directly.
They all say that Ives is not good at commanding, but can you do it? If Ives had not been guarding the border for ten years, and they had enjoyed ten years of peaceful development, as for them? They would all be nothing more than the bones of their family.
That's all, apart from comparing qualifications, the only thing left is comparing qualifications.
For this kind of general who always compares with qualifications rather than talents, Edward always uses them as much as possible, because these old guys have been playing with power for too long and have a stable life that is too comfortable. They still have the appearance of a soldier.
If an army is stationed in a prosperous area for too long, and if training is not carried out closely, the army will collapse within five years of fighting.
Why do many dynasties have frontier armies that can fight? Is it because the frontier armies receive more troops? Or is the living environment of the frontier armies too good? None of these are the case. This is because they have lived in difficult areas for a long time.
The troops who live and train in these areas are higher than the inland troops in terms of willpower and combat level. And everyone says that the border troops will support themselves, but in fact it is these border troops who have the least ability to leave the central dynasty.
support.
Because there is no output in their area, they need food but no food, and they need money but no money. They can only rely on the central dynasty to mobilize material support, so they will not call for change at all, but the inland military ministers will support the troops.
Complacency, because where their troops are stationed, they need money and food, and their dependence on the central dynasty is reduced, so they dare to go against the emperors, but the border troops will not, because the royal family only needs to stop providing border supplies.
Support and strong frontier troops will collapse quickly.
"Everyone, please listen. Our impact is not as powerful as the other Bull Knights. We must not charge hard. The opponent's straight-line impact is powerful, but when turning around, the reaction is very slow. Veterans lead new recruits, attack freely!" Ai
While riding his horse, Weiss quickly approached the barbarians' bull cavalry. They had fought against these guys countless times, so they naturally knew their opponent's shortcomings, but the recruits who had just joined didn't know, so they could only
Let the veterans lead the new recruits, lest they cling to the spirit of chivalry and have to hedge. This is a fool's errand.
"Kill!" Ives waved the knight sword in his hand. The frontier cavalry who were still together quickly dispersed. If you look down from the sky, you will find Ives who is relatively small in number.
The cavalry of the Sri Lankan border army surrounded each other from both sides, and the barbarians also wanted to disperse to deal with the cavalry attacking humans.
"Fire arrows!" One by one, the cavalrymen quickly pointed at the bull cavalry on their sides. They quickly bent their bows and fired arrows one by one. They quickly shot out the bows and arrows from their own hands.
"Moo! Moo!" After the barbarian bulls who were charging quickly felt the pain after being hit by arrows, they bumped to one side, knocking down many of the same kind next to them, and other barbarians behind them.
They just stepped on it, and some of the bulls that had not stepped firmly fell to the ground. Many of the bull cavalry who looked very majestic for a while fell to the ground.
"Disperse!" The old cavalrymen looked at the new cavalrymen who were leaning closer. They also reminded them loudly not to get too close, otherwise, when others avoid them, they will bump into each other. At the same time, they also
One thing to be careful about is that the bull cavalry are not just guys who can beat them, they can also throw throwing axes.
"Ah! Ah!" One by one, the cavalrymen who were riding fast on their war horses suddenly felt that their eyes were darkened. Many of them were directly hit by the opponent's flying axes and fell off their horses.
Going down, the cavalry behind did not stop their speed and just stepped on the corpses of their own people.
"Don't worry about those who fell off their horses, then charge and fire arrows to keep the distance!" The old cavalry looked at the new cavalry behind them, preparing to slow down or avoid the fallen brothers in front, but the old cavalry just shouted loudly
After stopping their behavior, on the battlefield, as long as the cavalry falls off the horse, it will be a dead end. Others must not avoid it, otherwise, other people will be harmed.
"If you don't want to be trampled to a pulp by your own people, even if you are hit by the other party, you have to hug the horse's neck tightly!" Ives shouted loudly to remind others, even if it is himself, if he is from
If a war horse falls off, even if it doesn't die, it will still shed a layer of skin.
"Ignore them, we will rush directly to their infantry!" The commander of the barbarian bull cavalry also knew what Ives was thinking. If they are so desperate to stop them from advancing, then there must be someone in front of them.
A large number of unprepared infantry cannot defeat the opponent's cavalry, but there is no problem in using their bulls to attack the opponent's infantry. Moreover, purely in terms of impact force, bulls are much more powerful than war horses.
"It's interesting. I hope you won't cry!" Ives looked at the Barbarian Bull Cavalry who were unwilling to fight with them. He was not worried at all and went directly to attack their infantry units? They were too happy, and
In this battle, there were many magicians among their infantry. For the infantry, there may not be enough time to rebuild defensive positions, but for the magicians, they are ready to launch an attack.
