?Is the chariot charging into battle really so unsolvable?
In fact, this is not the case. After all, the fact that cavalry can eventually eliminate chariots and become the main force in war obviously has its own objective laws. The most important point is...
So and so, let me tell you that it is definitely not because of mobility or anything like that. Although this is also very important, it will be clear if you think about the relationship between tanks and wheeled armored personnel carriers, even if the two are in mobility
There is indeed a considerable gap, but it may have completely different effects in different situations.
So what is the most critical question?
The answer is: cost.
A light chariot requires two horses, while a heavy chariot requires four horses. If you include the cost of making the chariot itself, it will definitely exceed the equipment cost of a cavalry with the same number of horses, and this does not count the cost of the chariot.
Various training costs for the war horses used.
In addition, the cost of training chariot crews is also very high, such as training qualified chariot drivers who can control multiple horses at the same time. Another example is that the personnel responsible for close combat on the chariot need to use several long and short weapons to deal with different situations, while those responsible for long-range combat
Although the personnel seem to have the simplest job, they also need to receive close combat training while replacing injured partners at any time.
Because of this, the profession of Xiliang Cavalry must be filled by the best warriors.
And the most distressing thing is that although the frontal impact of the tank is very terrible, it does not have as exaggerated protection as a tank. It can even be said that the frontal armor of the tank is the thickest part of the tank, but the front of the tank cannot be said to be
The most vulnerable but definitely the easiest place to attack in many situations. After all, the chariot and its crew are of considerable quality. If coupled with heavy horse armor, it is estimated that the life of the war horse can survive a war.
It's still a problem.
If you want both weight-bearing and speed, you also need a lot of endurance. In other words, modern thoroughbred horses would be put on their knees.
Therefore, if Dong Zhuo hadn't supported Li Shushi by giving him his most elite flying bear army, Li Shushi probably wouldn't have dared to use this method to deal with the Xianbei people.
After all, it is difficult to train tank soldiers, but vehicle-mounted infantry is relatively easy to train. However, the quality is naturally very different, and the combat effectiveness cannot be compared. The key reason why vehicle-mounted infantry can reduce training costs is that it uses tanks
The original speed and combat functions were divided, from attacking and defending to switching back and forth between the two modes.
As long as there is a switch, there will be a relatively weak time difference in the middle. If soldiers are transported in this way before the war, it is naturally a good way to save the physical strength of the soldiers, but if this switch is performed during the battle... a living target
The adjective "like" is probably the best explanation for this situation, let alone facing a race like the Xianbei people with very strong fighting instincts.
Of course, even the powerful Xiliang cavalry are now gradually falling into a disadvantage.
There is no way, it is convenient for the party with more people to do things.
If we are chasing and escaping in a straight line, the chariot side will naturally take advantage of it. At least in terms of bow and arrow shooting range, because it has the speed blessing of the chariot, it will naturally be better than the fleeing side. Not only does it not have the blessing, but its initial speed is weakened to a certain extent.
The latest chapter of Mecha Hunter is much longer.
But you can't resist one seducing you in front, two cruising on both sides, and a few enemies following closely like fishy sharks. You can't beat the tentacles with both fists, and that's about how the tentacles defeated the horse monkey soju.
It's over.
"It seems that Boying can't hold on for long. If the strength of the opponent is half, no, even one-third, maybe there will be no suspense in this war. The Flying Bear Army dares to claim to be the strongest army in the world. It is really extraordinary.
.”
Even Xiaoqiang's self-confidence now shows a look of admiration. After all, he has enough confidence in his personal strength, but the army cannot be made strong by one person's efforts. It requires the joint efforts of everyone, and with this
At the same time, we need to trust each other and coordinate with each other so that they become a whole and not a group of loose individuals who only know how to show off.
Although the troops under Lu Bu's command have strength that should not be inferior to that of the Flying Bear Army, Lu Bu knows very well that too much of this combat power is entirely due to his personal existence - he admires him as a strong man and is willing to do his orders.
This means that when he is the commander-in-chief of this army, the execution ability of this army will be at two levels compared to when someone else is the commander-in-chief.
As for the Flying Bear Army, although it will be more powerful in the hands of Dong Zhuo, after all, it is an army marked by his brand, but in the hands of Hua Xiong, it can still ensure sufficient execution and fighting will, and there will be no major fluctuations.
"Don't be envious. Everyone is good at different things. Instead of comparing your own shortcomings with the strengths of others, it's better to think about how to carry forward what you are best at. That way even if you fail, it will be more meaningful."
"
"But how do I remember that you told a story about a bucket with a short board?"
"Ah, what, it's time to attack. Over there, Jiang Xu and the others can't wait any longer to get their horses."
Although it was a very poor topic-changing technique, because the situation on the battlefield had indeed reached a point where there was no room for delay, Lu Bu did not continue to tease Li Shushi, and instead put his horse under the horse's belly and came to the Wusun Army.
Jiang Xu, Liang Kuan, Ban Hui, Ban Gui and others were waiting there to meet.
"Lord, can this method work? Mr. Yun feels that those Wusun people are not very peaceful."
Seeing Lu Bu who was organizing his army with the help of Le Mi, Zhao Yun came over with a worried voice.
"This is also a helpless choice. After all, we only have 30,000 people at full strength. Although the Kushan people's troops are elite, they are not suitable for direct deployment on the frontal battlefield. So even though it is not the best choice from a tactical point of view, in
This kind of situation
Under the circumstances, it should be said that it is an inevitable choice. Anyway, with Fengxian and Le Mi here, those who want to make small moves must think carefully, and if we can defeat the Xianbei people this time, our prestige among Wusun will be established.
It will be smoother next time.”
"Master, aren't you afraid that they will become arrogant again?"
"Although the character of the Wusun people is indeed troublesome, it is just a matter of vision. After all, there are only a few truly stupid people. So after the first battle, how much fighting power did they have, and why did they win?
Of course, I can understand. Of course, if there are still people who are stubborn and stubborn, Ban Fu is definitely not a soft-hearted guy."
And while Zhao Yun was secretly worried, Lu Bu on the other side was also giving his final "exhortations."
"I won't talk nonsense. If you want others to envy you for having a bloody horse in the future, then you must work hard for me today. Also, don't forget your mission. Although it is said that you can only survive on the battlefield with a determination to die.
, if you want to survive, you will inevitably face death, but if you rush into the enemy and can't get out, you will also die. So, don't forget what is given to you during this period, and finally I wish each of you can have a
Good luck. Let’s go!”
This is a somewhat risky operation, because what Lu Bu and others want to command is not the Han army or the family's private soldiers that they are familiar with. What they will command is Wusun's army, a motley crew of original Forbidden Army troops and new recruits.
The army, even among their own personal guards, half of the Wusun gold
Throne. Although the Wusun people who can serve as personal guards are all excellent soldiers in the original Royal Guards, God knows whether they will secretly destroy the talisman and give up their responsibilities. But because the other half of the personal guards need to be filled.
He went to command Wusun's army, so this can be said to be a helpless move.
But as Li Shushi said, he could not completely use his elite to fight the Xianbei people. And if General Wusun was allowed to lead the charge by himself, let alone the issue of defection before the battle, the Xianbei people had left them with
The shadow cast by them will greatly hinder their ability to carry out Li Shushi's orders during combat.
However, a certain Xiaoqiang likes this kind of adventure very much. Although he cannot compare with Dong Zhuo in terms of military training, if he can defeat the Xianbei people with an army that has been trained for no more than half a month, this is definitely something worthy of praise.
thing.
Of course, what's more important is that the rewards of this adventure are simply irresistible.
For example...the bloody horse from the Kingdom of Dawan, the Pegasus that is known as the treasure of the Kingdom of Dawan.
Anyone who is interested in the history of the Han Dynasty has heard the story that Li Guangli and Dayuan had to tell for Tianma. This was also one of the things that was criticized during the Emperor Wu period - a lot of manpower and material resources were wasted in order to improve the quality of the horses.
Under the leadership of the idiot general Li Guangli, it took a lot of time to finally break through Dawan and obtain 3,000 bloody horses. However, due to poor breeding,
When it arrived at the border of Han Dynasty, two-thirds of it was lost. Even horse lovers should know that the sweaty horse, that is, the Akhal Tekin horse, is a real purebred horse. It is not intentional, but if it is cross-bred, it will be like this**
It will degrade rapidly. As a result, Emperor Wu's plan to use this kind of Pegasus to improve horse breeds was probably a miserable failure in the end, but it was nothing compared to the previous expenditure.
Although this horse is extremely precious to the Dawan Kingdom, it also depends on the grade. The best grade is naturally rare in quantity, but the mid- to low-grade sweat-blooded BMWs can still be used as gifts, especially although they are not so obvious.
But Wusun, who also played a big role in Dawan's breakaway from Kushan control, received a lot of gifts.
Now, some of the descendants of these gifts are in the hands of Li Shushi's men, including the young people from Xiliang who followed him, although for these young people they currently only have temporary use rights rather than ownership.
The existence of these Pegasus is the core component of Li Shushi's next plan.
But now it seems that even without that plan, just taking these Pegasus horses as rewards is enough to make these young people explode.
Perhaps now Li Shushi should worry about whether these young people are getting too high.
ps: Today is the day when the Battle of Kosovo broke out. Of course, the Battle of Kosovo here has nothing to do with the United States, but a war that took place at the end of the 14th century to determine the status of Serbia and another emerging country, the Ottomans.
In this war, Serbia successfully assassinated the famous Ottoman emperor Murad I. Unfortunately, they never expected that it was such a move that Bayezid I, later known as "Lightning", succeeded to the throne on the battlefield.
, then the king led the Ottoman army to slaughter all the Serbian elites, which led to Serbia being ruled by the Ottoman Empire for 500 years.
Incidentally, this "Lightning" who was regarded as a hero by the Ottomans was defeated shortly afterwards by another conqueror who rose in Central Asia and claimed to be a descendant of Genghis Khan, Tamerlane, and became his decoration.

ps2: Today is the day when the great "People's Daily" was founded. As an official media, it has fulfilled its historical mission very well and even brilliantly.
ps3: Today is the day when the heads of state of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization held their first talks and signed the "Declaration on the Establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization". The Shanghai Cooperation Organization was officially established. Although the role of this organization seems to be more like a quasi-military purpose such as counter-terrorism.
It formed a loose alliance, but our country creatively developed it into an economic organization and used this organization to gradually penetrate into Central Asia and successfully established a foothold in this region.
