Chapter 620 The Avengers went south to seek provocation, and the Qiang Liang cavalry was in close contact.
The Qiang cavalry was the light cavalry among the light cavalry. On the one hand, they were so poor that they could not be “heavy”. On the other hand, they were all long arms like apes, with superb strength, which made almost every one of them a magical archer on the horse. Ke Zhan, a young Qiang leader who has a blood hatred with the Xu family in Beiliang, finally stopped deliberately suppressing the charge speed of the horse team. With a wave of his hand, he covered the urethra with a black scarf, and the steps of the mount under his crotch suddenly increased. If there are spectators on the horizontal line, they will definitely be amazed by the muscles that these head-heeled horses are running.
The habit of covering the urethra in the Central Plains has never been popular, but it is an old custom that has been passed down for hundreds of years on the grassland. At the beginning, it was to ensure that the war horses were fearless when facing the Central Plains infantry’s phalanx resisting horse formation, and at the same time they could deliberately make the war horses “frightened”. Before the fleeting fierce collision between the cavalry and the cavalry, the cavalry whipped it hard, which could give birth to the war horses to burst out greater foot force and use the speed of the war horses to drive the invasion of the cavalry’s charge. However, looking at the elite cavalry in the world, it is probably only the Beiliang Iron Cavalry who disdained to use this kind of “carving trick”. This is due to the fact that every military horse in Beiliang has been transformed from raw to mature, and the major horse farms have poured countless efforts, and of course, there are countless silver. Behind every mature horse in Beiliang that eventually set foot on a large battlefield, one or even several war horses will die before.
On the battlefield, only more than 1,600 Qiang cavalry made a roar that shook the sky.
Compared with the two, the Three Thousand Dragon Elephant Army, which are both light cavalry, seems particularly strange at this time. The collective silence before the fight was one reason, and more importantly, they are simply desperate people who use light cavalry as heavy cavalry.
After the dragon elephant light cavalry accelerated the charge, he headed straight to the opponent, and even gave up a wave of light crossbows that splashed the lethality of the enemy cavalry formation!
The Iron Cavalry of Beiliang is good at fighting and dares to fight to the death!
In the Central Plains, they have always been good at combining cavalry and infantry, with infantry in the middle and cavalry on both wings. The latter is not used for frontal formation. In addition to the natural factors that the strength of the riding bow is inferior to that of the step bow, especially the large crossbow, the cavalry’s biggest advantage is its strong mobility.
In a long list of classic battles in the Spring and Autumn Period, this undisputed war pattern has been fully demonstrated. As long as a general who can be given the title of famous general, even if he is the commander of the infantry, he can command a cavalry of thousands of people, and he can still command with rules and regulations. This is probably what is called becoming a doctor after a long illness.
The large group of high-level generals of Liyang who were edified by the war at that time could not use cavalry or break cavalry, so they were embarrassed to say hello to their colleagues when they went out. However, once this tactic of combining cavalry and stance is moved to a place where supply is difficult, it is inevitable that the local environment will be unacceptable. When Zi ascended the throne today, he took the initiative to launch those major battles against Beimang, and he suffered a lot. Many situations that seemed to be very good in the early stage were caused by some wars that took place outside the main battlefield.Destroy it. Take the two generations of famous Beimang generals, including Beimang Tuoba Bodhisattva and Dong Zhuo, as an example. The two famous works of these two rely on long-distance attacks of light cavalry that can last thousands of miles, and go around the rear of the Liyang army in one breath, directly smashing one or even several main supply lines. The famous generals of the Liyang court, especially the cavalry generals, were very upset about this, but for some reason, there was never a genius general who had left the cooperation of the infantry and fought head-on with the Northern Mang Cavalry. But even so, the signs that the cavalry must separate themselves and a series of military arts that have been derived have emerged. Lu Shengxiang, who was recruited by Zhao Yi, and Xu Gong, who had been unable to fight outside the border, each had military books. Unfortunately, it was a pity that he had not passed down from generation to generation, but it was well-known within the military. Xu Xiao admired the Longxiang General Xu Gong from Gumu Xu’s family, and believed that this person should have been overshadowed by Lu Shengxiang, who was “leading the southeastern style”. However, those senior figures in Liyang were aware of the fact that if Chen Zhibao and Chu Lushan were given a chance at that time, then these two would undoubtedly become famous figures no less than the four famous generals in the Spring and Autumn Period in the new battlefield of Beimang. However, even if the new emperor was willing to give Chen Zhibao a chance to show his skills out of selfishness, the “founding” veterans would not agree to have successors in the Xu family.
In the nearly twenty years of fighting with Beimang, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry also gave birth to a complete set of highly targeted and mature tactics. For example, the Beimang cavalry has few crossbows and many bows. If it weren’t for the sharp men with particularly amazing strength, it would be difficult for ordinary cavalry to break the armor within 80 steps. The two armies collided and rushed. Under the influence of Chen Zhibao, the Iron Cavalry of the Northern Liang was abnormal in the process of directly abandoning the crossbow and shooting. With the advantage of armor, the armor was allowed to throw it out and shoot, and the side just kept charging. Therefore, Chen Zhibao once made an arrogant statement that made the outside world unbelievable: under the premise that the military strength was roughly equal or even a slight disadvantage, the life of the Beimang Cavalry was only enough to live forty steps!
