Zeng Yi and the others did not pay much attention to the 100,000 cavalrymen of the Four Kingdoms Allied Forces. Even when they received the information from the pro-army Duwei Mansion that 100,000 cavalrymen had entered Xixia, the four of them did not care much about it. Later, Zeng Yi fell in love with them.
Yu Cooperation, as a matter of routine, told Jingfeng and others the news.
At first, Jingfeng and others were shocked when they heard the news, but later they learned that the Four Kingdoms wanted to cut off the player's supply line with one hundred thousand cavalry, so Jingfeng and the others didn't care too much.
Just like that, two days later, Zeng Yi and the other four had nothing to do. They were wandering in front of the city gate when they saw a few players from the Blood Guards getting together and chatting out of boredom. "Damn, you guys are so free, everyone.
It’s all inflated, right? I don’t even bother to collect tolls, so why do you think one tael of silver is too little?”
"Senior Brother, you have misunderstood. We have money to take, so how can we be lazy? It's really weird today. It's been half an hour since we opened the door, and there's not a single player!"
"What! There's not a single player here? You mean, since the doors opened in the morning, not a single player has passed through here yet?"
"Yes, Senior Brother. In the past, as soon as the city gate opened in the morning, players started to come in an endless stream. I don't know what happened today. It's been half an hour and I haven't even seen a ghost."
Just as he was talking, a dozen players in ragged clothes ran over in the distance, "Brothers, what's wrong with you guys? Are you being attacked?" Zeng Yi asked after seeing someone finally coming.
"Hey, don't mention it. I met an NPC on the way. Mad, there are hundreds of people in our guild, and only a dozen of us are left! The losses are huge this time, so I said that a small guild should not participate in the war in the Western Region!
"
Listening to the players' complaints, Zeng Yi suddenly reacted and said quickly: "Did you encounter the coalition's cavalry, and were they all cavalry?"
"Brother, how do you know this? You haven't encountered it, have you? I heard that many people have encountered it, and they are usually wiped out. We are also lucky, hiding and not being discovered!"
..."Marder, the coalition forces have taken action! However, how can the player be so vulnerable? Logically speaking, the coalition forces cannot penetrate deeply, so they should not be able to completely block it?" Zeng Yi immediately pulled the three bosses offline,
I went to the forum to search for information.
As expected by Zeng Yi, the forum was mostly discussing posts about encountering NPC cavalry.
"Where did these NPCs come from? They were surrounded by tens of thousands of NPCs early in the morning. Of the hundreds of people, not a single one escaped."
"Mard, you can't run away at all, they are all cavalry!"
"There are only a few hundred people on the first floor. We had almost 2,000 people just now, and they were all wiped out!"
"I just got news that several guilds have joined forces and want to imitate the medium-sized guild alliance and occupy a city. But before they arrived, they met those NPCs on the way and were killed by thousands. In the end, those NPCs ran away!"
...
After wandering around the forum, the faces of Zeng Yi and the other four people all changed. They suddenly realized that they had overlooked a serious problem. These coalition cavalry were trained in the grassland and were armed with the elite of the grassland! You must know the grassland.
The reason why the light cavalry is so famous and powerful is that compared with the cavalry of other countries, there is an important difference. The prairie cavalry has one man and three cavalry!
The cavalry on the grassland has three riders per person, with a clear division of labor. One is the baggage, carrying armor, weapons, and supplies. The other is the riding horse, which is used for transportation and can also be used as a backup war horse. The third is the war horse.
They only alternate with riding horses for a short period of time so that the riding horses can recover their physical strength, but they will not be used for a long time to maintain their combat effectiveness. During wartime, only war horses are generally used to charge into battle. In addition, the army is organized, and there are dedicated personnel for cavalry charges on the battlefield.
Taking care of the rotated riding horses and baggage horses is called a "horse pile". If there is no special horse pile, the cavalry will take turns to take charge, and three horses will not be allowed to go to the battlefield together. As for whether they can see it during the march
, First of all, controlling three horses to march without assistance is not a problem for professional cavalry, not to mention that the army will hire civilian husbands to take care of the horses, and cavalry with higher status will also have their own attendants.
"Hiss! No wonder Brother Meng collected several times the number of war horses. It turns out they are equipped for one person and three riders!"
The fourth child also smiled bitterly: "Hey, I was careless. I forgot about one person and three cavalry. This army of 100,000 people all has one person and three cavalry. As we deduced earlier, there is no way to go deep, supply difficulties and other problems.
, for these 100,000 cavalry, it is not a problem at all. The supplies that three horses can carry are completely enough to support one cavalry in a long-term battle."
Just when Zeng Yi and the others noticed this abnormal situation, the major guilds had actually noticed these abnormal situations, and Jingfeng even anxiously sent a flying pigeon transmission to Zeng Yi.
As soon as Zeng Yi and others went online, they received a letter from Jing Feng. Zeng Yi immediately replied to him, "This cavalry unit has one person and three riders. Its maneuverability and continuous combat capabilities are all abnormal. You guys
Be mentally prepared, it is estimated that material supplies and support will be affected to a certain extent!"
In one day, the players could reach the fortress less than one-third of the way before. It can be said that the 100,000 cavalry of the coalition forces caused very serious losses to the players. However, in one day, Zeng Yi and others basically figured out the coalition forces.
As for the cavalry, the coalition cavalry was divided into three field units. Each field unit was composed of two to three cavalry columns. Each column had 10,000 cavalry, which was roughly equivalent to a modern cavalry division. Each cavalry column included 10 cavalry companies.
, each company has 100 men; each cavalry company includes 10 squads, each squad has 10 men.
The coalition dispersed three field troops in three areas in the eastern part of the Western Region. The three areas were connected together, and the cavalry columns in each area were dispersed. Basically, these coalition cavalry moved in the tens of thousands. Although the number of troops
, but their mobility is extremely abnormal. Not only can they evacuate quickly when encountering danger, but they can also quickly support each other!
These cavalry equipment are also extremely abnormal. The cavalry equipment includes: a bow, a huge quiver full of arrows, an axe, and a rope to drag the weapon. The leader must carry a kind of weapon with a sharp tip but only one side.
A bladed scimitar, mounted in an exquisite scabbard. And although they are light cavalry, the horses they ride also have body armor. The horse's body armor consists of 5 parts, one on each side of the horse.
There is one piece of armor that covers the horse's head; another piece of armor is placed on the horse's buttocks and tied to the armor pieces on both sides. A hole is left on this piece of armor so that the horse's tail can stick out from the hole; the other piece of armor is on the horse's hip.
The chest. They put an iron plate on the horse's forehead and tied it to the armor plates on both sides. (To be continued)
