As the winner of the Champion Award, he is also the most qualified winner besides Huo Qubing.
Obviously, it is natural for Dou Xian to awaken this champion skill, and there is nothing surprising about it.
"Ding, Dou Xian's champion skill is activated.
Champion: Those who win the title of the entire army and are crowned champions have a certain chance of awakening. The actual effect of awakening varies for different people.
Effect 1: When fighting the enemy, own force +3.
Effect 2: When commanding cavalry, your own commander +2. When fighting against foreigners, your own commander +1.
Effect 3: When all the troops under your direct command are cavalry, all the soldiers under your account will have +1 military strength.
Note: This effect can be activated in addition to the effects of other army-wide force-amplifying skills."
Compared with Huo Qubing, Dou Xian's champion skills are similar. Although relatively speaking, they are not as good as them, but the gap is not big.
"Ding, Dou Xian's champion skill effect 2 is activated. When commanding cavalry, his own commander +2. When fighting against foreigners, his own commander +1, Dou Xian's commander +2, +1. The basic commander is 98, and the current commander has increased to 101

"Ding, Dou Xian's champion skill effect three is activated. When all the troops under his direct command are cavalry, all the soldiers under his account will have +1 military strength.
Malon's force +1, the current force has increased to...
Meng Zhi’s force +1, the current force has increased to...
Li Guang's force +1, the current force has increased to...
Xiao Dalin’s force +1, the current force has increased to..."
"Attack!"
Fourteen thousand cavalry galloped and roared out.
If the formation of the 14,000 cavalrymen who had just started galloping was still a bit scattered, the more they marched, the more orderly the formations of these cavalrymen became. During the march, these cavalry units continued to adjust their formations.
.
Several people in a row march in like a wall! Charge like a wall!
This tactic has not yet appeared in this era. It was the existence of Li Xiang that brought this tactic to the world in advance. Of course, after all, Li Xiang in later generations was not a military academy student, nor was he a historical master. For these military
My knowledge of the above is limited.
But Li Xiang doesn't need to know too much in detail. As long as he can give a rough idea, he has so many outstanding military strategists, and they naturally have ways to optimize it themselves. If they are willing, they can always reproduce it by spending some time researching it.
, or even better.
In later generations, this was the most classic cavalry charge tactic, the wall charge.
The cavalry were arrayed neatly, like a wall, with several people fighting side by side, and they were unstoppable wherever they passed.
Before modern times, cavalry charges used kite flying tactics, that is, hanging enemy infantry from a distance to play mounted shooting.
Wait for the enemy infantry formation to be in chaos, and then the cavalry will rush forward!
Although there are many different tactics, they basically cannot escape this framework. The Mongolian cavalry relied on this kite-flying tactic to travel all the way to Europe.
However, in modern times, such cavalry tactics became outdated, and were replaced by wall charges.
The cavalry lines up neatly like a wall. No matter whether they are cavalry or infantry, they can kill and injure the enemy's effective force on a large scale.
Especially when facing the enemy's cavalry, the confrontation between wall cavalry and traditional cavalry is definitely a one-sided crushing.
In terms of unit area, wall cavalry can deploy more troops, allowing several of your own cavalry to surround an enemy cavalry.
Even if the enemy has a strength advantage, it cannot take advantage of it. Most of the cavalry can only watch the battle from the periphery and cannot participate in the war at all.
However, such cavalry requires the most rigorous training to be trained. Otherwise, if the formation is in chaos, the wall cavalry will be a living target on the battlefield.
A large part of the reason why Li Xiang wanted to replicate this tactic was that the kite tactic was definitely incompetent on the grassland. We couldn't expect those who had become monks halfway to be able to outperform those who grew up on horses in terms of horseback archery abilities.
Prairie people!
Therefore, Li Xiang simply used his strengths to avoid weaknesses! He asked some cavalry to completely abandon bows and arrows, completely give up the idea of mounted shooting, and instead concentrate on training wall charges.
Of course, it's only some of the cavalry! After all, if all the cavalry use the same tactics, they will be easily restrained by others.
Among the 20,000 cavalrymen who left the grassland in Liangzhou, about 5,000 were specially trained in wall tactics.
"kill!"
The cavalry troops of the Liangzhou Legion under the leadership of Dou Xian quickly charged and took the initiative to move towards the Yuanmeng Cavalry under the leadership of Liu Yuan.
"Report! Guard the army, the Jin army is coming towards our army!"
The size of 14,000 people is already quite large. With such a force rushing towards them, it is impossible that the grassland rangers who spread out during Liu Yuan's march could not miss it.
These grassland rangers are no different from the scout troops in the Central Plains. They are all responsible for spying.
Moreover, there are many capable people and strangers in the grassland. In the grassland, there are many people who specialize in training sea turtles or other birds. Some of them are more playful and can use these birds to observe.
The movement of enemy troops.
"How many people are there in the enemy army?" Liu Yuan asked calmly.
"Report! The enemy has about 15,000 troops, definitely no more than 20,000!"
"What!" Not to mention Liu Yuan, even the other prairie men couldn't help but feel angry after hearing the news.
With just a few men and horses, they dared to attack them. These prairie men felt that they had been despised.
These Jin people need to make them pay the price for their contempt for a prairie warrior.
"Liu Cong! Lead 10,000 troops and 20,000 prairie men to fight. I want to see what these Jin troops are capable of!"
Even if Liu Yuan is angry, he has been an emperor, and he is also the founding emperor. No matter how poor his ability is, he still has the basic skills of the city. He will not really get carried away because of his anger.
I don't care about anything, I don't think about it anymore.
He also didn't think that the Jin army was a fool. Since the other party dared to take the initiative to kill them, it meant that they must have been prepared, at least they couldn't have come to die.
Therefore, Liu Yuan did not attack with all his strength, but left 15,000 troops behind in case of any eventuality.
In his opinion, with the strength of the enemy's army, even if a large part of his troops were herdsmen, he would still not lose even if he could not win the battle if he was outnumbered and defeated. He had first tested the enemy's hidden secrets.
What kind of backup plan is this?
If you use up all the cards in your hand as soon as you come up, it will be useless no matter how good your cards are. Such a person will not become a famous general.
