Chapter 2701 Situation

The fact that cavalry can be used is a good thing for Guan Yu and most of the generals here. The Han army itself has the strongest and most complete cavalry in the four major empires at present.

In addition, the Han family has used cavalry for a long time, and various tactics are quite complete. Compared with single infantry combat, if there are cavalry on the side, whether it is attacking, supporting, or as a mobile force swaying on the battlefield, the legion can exert more combat effectiveness.

When Guan Yu and Yu Jin went south one after another, the reason why they did not lead many cavalry was because they heard that there were shrubs and jungles everywhere, and it was difficult for the cavalry to exert their combat effectiveness and did not want to cause losses. However, even so, both of them brought three thousand cavalry.

Now that I heard Guo Jia’s speculation, Guan Yu was obviously much more at ease. After all, if cavalry could come in handy, the war would be much easier. To this extent, cavalry has become the main combat power of the battlefield. Cavalry of the same level will always have an advantage.

"Well, cavalry must be needed. The current situation is actually the same as the situation south of the Yangtze River in the Han Dynasty. The reasons why those places are not suitable for cavalry are not suitable for cavalry, in addition to the water net, they are actually jungles and shrubs. Because of the small population, they have not been developed." Guo Jia nodded and said, "The facts I see now in Kushan should be like this."

Although it is speculation, Guo Jia has always been the type that is expected, so others are mentally prepared to be able to use cavalry to supplement their overall combat effectiveness.

In fact, as far as the current situation of the four empires is concerned, whether the battlefield environment limits the cavalry to have the greatest impact on the Han Dynasty.

Rome did not use cavalry very much. They mainly formed legions with heavy infantry as the core. Although they were equipped with cavalry, most of them were horse infantry, mainly used to strengthen maneuver power. They dismounted and lined up during combat. As for the rest, they were basically heavy cavalry routes.

There are many cavalry on the side of Anxi, but all the cavalry on Anxi prefers archers and rangers, and their tactics are not perfect. They lack stirrups and saddles. Although they have developed an excellent cavalry system based on the local conditions, they have obvious shortcomings.

To be honest, the two of them in the west are actually lame soldiers in terms of cavalry.

However, the Kushan side actually has a relatively complete cavalry system. After all, it has developed from the nomadic peoples in the East Asian Monster House. Light cavalry, rangers, cavalry, archers, heavy cavalry, special cavalry, etc., all have some attainments, but how to say the shortcomings, it is abolished.

The above cavalry branches were once held by the Kushans, and they all reached a considerable level. At the most powerful time, they were almost enough to compete with the Huns. Unfortunately, most of them were abolished later. The reason is actually very simple, there is no grassland anymore.

It was indeed a very correct national policy for Yan Gaozhen to choose to go south from the Pamir Mountains. However, after going south, he gave up Khwarezm and other places, and some national policies were made mistakes. Without these places, he lost his brave cavalry. Although Kushan still has many excellent cavalry now, he can no longer meet the situation of full cavalry dominance back then.

As for the only one who holds all types of cavalry and points out an ultimate template for each of the cavalry, the Han Dynasty has developed to point out all the ultimate troops of the nomadic peoples and strengthened it, that is, the Han Dynasty.

What was even more crazy was that later it was developed that the source of Han cavalry was better than that of nomadic people. What was born on horseback, what was born knight, and what was the saint of the grassland, was destroyed by men from Liangzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou in the Han Dynasty.

Camera, spear, and equestrian all killed the nomadic people on the prairie, and created the kings of the battlefield on the Han Dynasty to develop from crossbows to cavalry.

What is the Five Barbarians of Han? It really started after the Han family surpassed the best abilities of the nomadic peoples.

In front of the Hu people, he erected the monument and engraved it with "Everything where the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach, they are all Han territory." After worshiping the heavens, he forced the Hu people to walk around there for the next two hundred years.

When he submitted a memorial and mentioned the matter of the Hu people, Ban Biao directly replied, "Han is in power and leads all nations, and the sun and the moon are all ministers." Virtue, joke, the Han people talk about education, and it is also the Han people who turn you Hu people into Han concubines, and only teach you education when you randomly.

This is the Han Dynasty. After cutting down the biggest opponent, the Huns, except for not being able to talk about money, it crushed all opponents that could be touched in all aspects in terms of force.

Having said that, when the Han Dynasty came to this point, it was forced to do so. Who made the opponent the Huns? Not to mention that he surpassed the opponent, at least he had to have the level of the opponent to fight with the opponent. Then who knew that the Hun cavalry tactics, skills and tactics were the strongest level in the world in all aspects.

He fought against the opponent in terms of cavalry and finally sent the opponent to Geda Village and made it into steamed buns. After drawing his sword and looking around, he suddenly found that his family had completely absorbed the strongest advantages of the nomadic people, and then innovated and became the most capable cavalry player.

What is the strongest nomadic cavalry, what cavalry skills and tactics? Sorry, our Han Dynasty has completely exploded all countries and nations in this regard. The only one who can be our opponents has been burned to sacrifice to heaven by us.

Now we are the masters of cavalry tactics, you are all scumbags! What's wrong with the nomadic people? The cavalry of the nomadic people can't beat us.

This is the Han Dynasty. Compared with horizontal comparison, the force is almost in violation of regulations. Speaking of which, before the Han Dynasty, the strongest in the Central Plains was always the infantry. After the Han Dynasty, the cavalry was renamed the King of Cold Weapons. This is the most obvious difference. Once the Han Dynasty, the entire Central Plains War system was innovated.

So much so that after the development, cavalry even became an indicator to measure the combat effectiveness of a dynasty. Without cavalry, that is, there are cavalry, and with many cavalry, that is, it is strong.

At present, although Guan Yu and others have not developed to the later mentality - the troops that can face large-scale cavalry are only as large-scale cavalry as the same large-scale cavalry, everyone here admits that cavalry has great significance for the replenishment of the combat effectiveness of the legion, and the advantages of infantry and cavalry cooperation are enough to double the combat effectiveness of the legion.

Of course, after hearing that the Kushan continued to advance westward and was very likely to use cavalry, except for the few generals in Yizhou, everyone else smiled. This was really good news.

"Lidas will be handed over to General Guan, and we will continue to talk about us." Guan Yu looked at the expressions of everyone and nodded and changed the topic. "If I expected it would be fine, Durga should have retreated here after receiving the expedited news."

"Karona Suvatana?" Xu Shu said with his eyes narrowed.

"Well, it's here. This city is slightly larger than Samma Khazha City. However, according to my estimate, the other party's food reserves will be very sufficient. What I want to say now is that we will feint attack here and force the other party to retreat and stop." Guo Jia pointed to the map and said.

"Let them go?" Guan Yuxu said as he knocked on several cases.

"Yes, if we succeed in attacking Fahrenheit City, all the current defeated soldiers will gather here and gather together to keep warm. In the end, the troops will probably exceed 300,000. If they occupy this place, they will not be short of food for a short time." Guo Jia nodded and said, "The attack is too difficult and there is a suspicion of being used for free, so just force them to retreat."

"Forcing retreat?" Wang Lei pressed his temple, "They may not be willing to retreat. As far as the military situation is concerned, even if the other party is defending and waiting for assistance, they can still drag reinforcements until the arrival of reinforcements. When there is a city to defend, there is no shortage of troops and food. It is better to stay here and act as a nail to restrain us if the other party retreats."

"Because our entire army has been dispatched." Guo Jia said with a smile. Wang Lei was stunned. Then he looked at Guo Jia and said, "This is playing with fire. Once we fail to advance, the back road will be blocked..."

"Did you find it?" Guo Jia said with a folding fan covering half of his face. Wang Lei looked at Guo Jia with a serious expression, and said after a while, "It's still too dangerous if this happens, and it's too dangerous for General Chen who stays in Sammojizha City."

"So after we rushed to Fahrenheit City, we have to come here to show our holy presence." Guo Jia said with some silence, "Durga's army was unstable, and our army rushed to Fahrenheit City later. The other party should have guessed that we wanted to cheat the city all the way, and in order to stop the loss, going here and blocking us became an inevitable choice."

Wang Lei nodded and agreed with this fact, but Guo Jia's plan was indeed a bit too dangerous. This method is likely to be left here, but the opponent who marched according to Guo Jia's plan did not cut off the retreat.

"This is not the Han Dynasty, but it is considered a pan-ruled area of ​​Kushan. Just like the grasslands over us, there is no such thing as being blocked from the back." Seeing that Wang Lei was still hesitant, Guo Jia explained, "On the contrary, it has been the essence of Kushan since this place."

After passing Fahrenheit, you have truly entered the Kushan ruling area. Going westward, after passing Brahmadhis, you have truly entered the Kushan primacy area.

Compared with the pan-ruling area east of Fahrenheit, Kushan lost at most some face, and even the northern nobles were not surprised but happy, and even mocked the Brahmins for being mentally retarded. If the essence of the Kushan area was captured by the Han Dynasty and Durga, who had an army of 300,000, was in the rear and did not act, then Durga would not be far from killing the whole family.
