Being able to use cavalry is a good thing for Guan Yu and most of the generals here. The Han army itself has the strongest and most complete cavalry among the four empires.
In addition, the Han family has been using cavalry for a long time, and various tactics are quite perfect. Compared with single infantry fighting, with cavalry on the side, whether it is attacking, supporting, or roaming the battlefield as a mobile force, it will be more effective.
It allows the legion to exert more combat effectiveness.
When Guan Yu and Yu Jin went south one after another, the reason why they did not bring more cavalry was because they heard that this area was full of shrubs and jungles, and it was difficult for the cavalry to exert their combat effectiveness, and they did not want to cause losses. However, even so, both of them brought three thousand cavalry.
.
Now hearing Guo Jia's speculation, Guan Yu was obviously relieved. After all, if the cavalry could be put to use, the war would be much simpler. The war in the Central Plains has developed to the present level, and the cavalry has become the main combat force on the battlefield. At the same level, the cavalry
Always have the advantage.
"Well, there is definitely a need for cavalry. The current situation is actually the same as the situation south of the Yangtze River in our Han Dynasty. The reason why those places are not suitable for cavalry is that besides the water network, most of them are jungles and shrubs because the population is too small.
The development has not been completed." Guo Jia nodded and said, "Based on the facts I have seen in Guishan, this should be the case."
Although this is speculation, Guo Jia has always been a predictable type, so the others are also mentally prepared. Being able to use cavalry will greatly supplement their overall combat effectiveness.
In fact, as far as the current situation of the four empires is concerned, whether the battlefield environment limits cavalry will 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 also had cavalry, most of them were mounted infantry. They were mainly used to enhance mobility. They dismounted and lined up during battle. As for the remaining cavalry,
The routes I downloaded are basically heavy cavalry routes.
There are a lot of cavalry here in Parthia, but the cavalry in Parthia are all biased toward archers and rangers, and their tactics are not perfect. They lack stirrups and saddles. Although they have developed based on local conditions, they are still excellent cavalry.
system, but it has obvious shortcomings.
To be honest, the two in the west are actually lame warriors in terms of cavalry.
On the contrary, Kushan actually has a relatively complete cavalry system. After all, it was developed from the nomadic people of East Asia. It has light cavalry, rangers, assault cavalry, archers, heavy cavalry, special cavalry, etc.
What I have achieved is just a shortcoming, it is useless.
The above-mentioned branches of cavalry were all present in Guishang, and they all reached a certain level. At their peak, they were almost enough to compete with the Xiongnu. Unfortunately, most of them were abandoned later. The reason is actually very simple: there is no more prairie.
It was indeed a very correct national policy for Yan Gaozhen to choose to go south from Congling. However, after going south, he abandoned places like Khwarazmo, which was a mistake in the national policy. Without these places, he also lost the brave cavalry. Although Guishan still has
There are many excellent cavalry, but they are no longer able to achieve the situation of all-cavalry dominance like in the past.
As for the only one who possesses all types of cavalry and points out an ultimate template for each type of cavalry, it is the Han Dynasty. As a farming nation, it has developed to the point where it can point out all the ultimate arms of the nomads and give them to them.
What was strengthened was the Han Dynasty.
What’s even more crazy is that later on, it suddenly developed that the Han Dynasty’s cavalry force was better than that of the nomadic people. Those who were born on horseback, those who were born knights, and those who were eagle shooters on the grassland, were left out by the Han Dynasty.
Men from the three counties of Zhouzhou, Bingzhou and Youzhou destroyed eight streets.
Riding and shooting, thrusting with spears, and equestrian skills all killed the nomads on the prairie, and the Han Dynasty's battlefield kings also developed from crossbows to cavalry.
The idea of one Han as the five barbarians only really started after the Han family surpassed the best abilities of the nomads.
In front of the Hu people, a monument was erected with the inscription "Everywhere the sun and the moon shine, and wherever the rivers reach is Han soil." After offering sacrifices to heaven, they forced the Hu people to walk around there for the next two hundred years.
In the memorial, when talking about the affairs of the Hu people, Ban Biao directly replied: "The Han people have great authority and lead all nations, and the sun and the moon shine on them, and they are all ministers and concubines." Virtue, joke, the Han family's education is also about you Hu people.
I'll make you a concubine of the Han family, and then I'll teach you some lessons when you cook whatever you want.
This is the Han Dynasty. After defeating their biggest rival, the Xiongnu, they not only cannot talk about money, but also crush all available opponents in terms of force.
Having said that, when the Han Dynasty came to this point, they were forced to have no choice. Who made the opponent be the Huns? Not to mention surpassing the opponent, at least they had to be at the opponent's level before they could fight with the opponent. Then who knew the Huns' cavalry tactics, techniques and tactics?
Ah, in every aspect, he is the best in the world.
There was a back-and-forth cavalry fight with the opponent, and in the end the opponent was sent to Goda Village alive. After making steamed bun fillings, the Han Dynasty drew his sword and looked around, and suddenly found that he had completely absorbed the strongest advantages of the nomads.
, and then innovate and become the most capable cavalry player.
Which nomadic cavalry is the strongest, what cavalry skills and tactics, I'm sorry, our Han Dynasty has completely defeated all countries and nations in the world in this aspect, and the only one who can be our opponent has been burned by us
sky.
Now we are the masters of cavalry tactics, and you are all scum! What happened to the nomads? The cavalry of the nomads cannot defeat us.
This is the Han Dynasty. When compared horizontally, the force aspect is almost illegal. Speaking of which, before the Han Dynasty, the strongest in the Central Plains was the infantry. After the Han Dynasty, the cavalry was renamed the King of Cold Weapons. This is the most obvious difference.
The Han Dynasty revolutionized the entire Central Plains war system.
As it developed later, cavalry even became an indicator of the combat effectiveness of a dynasty. If there were no cavalry, it would be useless. If there were cavalry, if there were more cavalry, it would be strong.
At present, although Guan Yu and others have not developed the mentality that can face large-scale cavalry only to the same extent as large-scale cavalry, everyone here admits that cavalry has a great impact on supplementing the legion's combat effectiveness.
The significance of the combination of infantry and cavalry is enough to double the combat effectiveness of the legion.
Naturally, after hearing that the Kushan side would continue to advance westward and would most likely be able to use cavalry, except for a few generals in Yizhou, everyone else smiled. This was really good news.
"As for Lidas, I'll leave it to General Guan. Let's continue talking about us." Guan Yu looked at everyone's expressions, nodded and changed the topic, "If what I expected is correct, Durga will receive the urgent call."
After hearing the news, they should have retreated here."
"Jara Na Su Vac Na?" Xu Shu said with narrowed eyes.
"Well, this is it. This city is slightly larger than Samadha City, but according to my estimation, the opponent's food reserves will be very sufficient. What I want to say now is that we can feint attack here, force the opponent to retreat, and then stop.
"Guo Jia pointed at the map and said.
"Let them go?" Guan Yuxu said as he knocked on the boxes.
"Yes, if what is expected is true, if we succeed in attacking Fahrenheit City, all the defeated troops will gather here to keep warm. In the end, the number of troops will probably exceed 300,000. And if they occupy this place, they will be short of
There will be no shortage of food." Guo Jia nodded and said, "It will be too difficult to attack, and there is a suspicion that it will be wasted. Just force them back."
"Forced to retreat?" Wang Lei pressed his temples, "They may not be willing to retreat. In terms of military strength alone, even if the opponent is waiting for reinforcements, they can delay the arrival of reinforcements. If there is a city to defend, the troops and food will not be able to retreat.
If the opponent retreats, it is better to stay here and act as a nail to contain us."
"Because our entire army has mobilized." Guo Jia said with a smile. Wang Lei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Guo Jia and said, "This is playing with fire. Once our advance fails, our retreat will be blocked..."
"Did you find it?" Guo Jia said, covering half of his face with a folding fan. Wang Lei looked at Guo Jia solemnly, and after a while he said, "This is still too dangerous, and for those who stay behind,
It’s too dangerous for General Chen in Samo and Zha City.”
"So after we rushed to Huashi City in Lidas, we had to go here to show our saints in front of someone." Guo Jiapo said a little carelessly, "Durga's army was not mentally stable, and our army went straight to the direction of Huashi City.
The other party should have guessed that we wanted to cheat the city all the way, and in order to stop the loss, going this way and detouring to block 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 opponents who did not march according to Guo Jia's plan would cut off their retreat.
"This is not the Han Dynasty. This is the general ruling area of Kushan. It is just like the grassland over there. There is no such thing as being blocked." Guo Jia saw that Wang Lei was still hesitant, so he explained,
"On the contrary, starting from here belongs to the essence of Kushan."
After passing Huashi City, you have truly entered the Kushan ruling area. Going further west, after passing Brahasi, you have truly entered the essence of Kushan.
Compared with the capture of the pan-ruling area east of Huashi City, Kushan lost a little face at most. Even the northern nobles were not surprised but were happy, and even laughed at the Brahmins for their intellectual retardation. If the essence of Kushan was captured by the Han Dynasty, they would have three
If Durga, who has an army of 100,000, does nothing at the rear, then Durga is not far away from killing her entire family.
After all, Guo Jia has also sorted out the situation. It is obvious that the territory east of Huashi City belongs to the Brahman religion and is not considered the territory of the Kushans. Even if the Han Dynasty fights, it will only be the Brahmins who feel distressed. The northern nobles of the Kushans do it.
