Chapter 863
In this era, the scale of cavalry application has been very large, but it cannot be said that its technology is mature, especially heavy cavalry, because the stirrup armored cavalry was only emerging during the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China when the grassland nations entered the Central Plains on a large scale. Cao Cao had the tiger and leopard cavalry, which was only used as a heavy hammer to break the formation during the war. The Sima Yi's army, which inherited the tiger and leopard cavalry, also regarded the tiger and leopard cavalry as treasures and hid it.
So here, Wang Hou showed how the light and heavy cavalry tactics were used.
"Ha!"
In the rare plains in Bingzhou, the snow powder that had not yet melted was raised by horses' hooves. The whiteness was covered with snow fog. There were about 600 Guanxi cavalry in front, and more than 3,000 cavalry in Jizhou cavalry behind them.
Close to the grassland, Youzhou is also a half-producing land, and has been dealing with northern ethnic minorities all year round. This place is also the origin of the Central Plains cavalry. Gongsun Zan's cavalry army was produced here. Now, although Wang Hou took over the grassland and used Guihua City to solve the livelihood problems of the Xianbei people, Youzhou has been in peace for more than ten years, but at least this basic skill has not been lost.
And they were also equipped with Liaodong stirrups. These Youzhou cavalrymen were so angry that they were itchy and swung the reins desperately. The war horses seemed to feel the anger of their masters and ran out of breath.
It's so fucking annoying! The cavalry from Liaodong these days are like flies, and they are everywhere. On the big plain, there are a few loopholes in defense, and they can get into these bold Guanxi light cavalrymen. The most time they set fire, making the Jinzhong Plain light like wolf smoke everywhere, and the cotton coats and grain houses that were robbed and burned by them. They can't count the amount of losses.
However, the huge Guandong Legion, mainly infantry, was like a slow-responsive big bull. The blood-sucking flies were full and patted their belly and left. The big bull reacted and slapped his tail on his butt.
The army was already defeated before the war was started these days. Now, it was difficult to catch a thief cavalry that sneaked into the hinterland of his defense line. The Hebei cavalry, who were so angry that they wanted to cut their heads and throw them into the pit. They were chasing these damn stupid thieves like dog skin plasters, and they were always inseparable from them.
However, it has to be admitted that the Han cavalry who came from farming were not as good as the grassland cavalry, and there is a proverb in Chang'an Military Academy, which is called learning from the barbarians to control the barbarians!
Why did Han troops rarely set foot on the grassland in later generations? The grassland was vast and there was not even a county town. It was not familiar with the place and it was particularly difficult to find water. More importantly, the grassland cavalry, which was particularly vulnerable to the disadvantaged number of people, used the advantages of maneuver and familiar geography to surround the small vanguards who had slightly separated from the large army and ate it.
Later Mongolians often used this tactic during the Western Expedition. Light cavalry attracted Western European canned cavalry and large groups of infantry to attack, and heavy cavalry lies behind and give them a wake-up call.
While running, the Guanxi thief cavalry in front suddenly stopped and turned his head toward him. He thought that these stupid thieves could not run anymore and wanted to fight to the death. At that time, Wang Hou's mortal enemy, Tian Yi, the distant nephew of Youzhou Governor Tian Yu, had his eyes red with excitement, and the bearded man seemed to be open, holding a saber and roaring excitedly.
"Kill the thief! Behead the first level of the head and reward the money for ten cents, kill!!!"
To be honest, the temptation of rewarding ten yuan is not great, because after Cao Wei established the wealthy family of the Shi family, the policy of military farming left by Cao Cao gradually changed its flavor. Originally, for generations, they were soldiers, in exchange for political and economic preferential treatment. Military farming soldiers could reduce taxes or even be completely exempted. As a result, after the nine-rank Zhongzheng system was established, Wang Hou finally corrected that tax system was completely reversed in the Central Plains. The top-ranking wealthy family
With a large number of hidden land populations, three years after Cao Pi ascended the throne, the taxes of the military farm soldiers had gone from 10% to 60% to 70% now, which made these military farm soldiers complain.
Now that he has such a strong morale, he is completely annoyed by stealing his family these days. Carrying a sabre, the Youzhou cavalry also roared forward in anger.
However, before they rushed to the Guanxi local thieves, suddenly, the team of Guanxi light cavalry cracked from the middle, wearing a full set of heavy armor and a heavy helmet with only eyes exposed. Even the war horses were wrapped in the cavalry and a three-meter-long horse spear under the crotch of the Guanxi heavy cavalry, and ran out fiercely like a group of canned iron men.
Looking at this scene, Tian Yi's eyes almost glared out with hatred, but he had just had time to shout despicable, and then the two cavalrymen collided hard like a comet hitting the earth.
…………
"Report! The lord, Liangyi tribe in Liangzhou, defeated the cavalry of the thief Tian Yu tribe in Youzhou in field battles, and captured Tian Yi, the nephew of Tian Zhe!"
"Ask if you surrender, if you don't surrender, you'll be castrated and sent back!"
When the Arabs fought against hostile tribes in later generations, they would eunuch the male tribe of the entire tribe. After completely destroying the other party, they would not commit a massacre. It is said that there was a famous emperor in the Middle East in the Middle Ages. He was cheated by Tian Yu and defeated Sima Yi and dealt with these political enemies. Wang Hou planned to use this trick, and now he is just in advance.
After sending the messenger away, Wang Hou was so proud of her looking at the map.
What does stealing chickens and losing rice? Sima Yi is now trying to use cannon fodder thorns to test his army's tactical combat effectiveness. As a result, his huge legion was led to Jinzhong like a cow with a nose rope. On the map, several Bingzhou counties were covered with red marks, and without exception, the word "victory" was marked.
This is the advantage of cavalry fighting infantry. Using advanced waiting and viewing equipment such as telescopes and hot air balloons to gather a large number of troops in local areas to fight less. This maneuverability is unmatched by infantry relying on two legs.
Even if the number of people is at a disadvantage, the power
With an absolute advantage, looking at the map and pinching a slight mustache on his chin, Wang Hou was really curious about how Sima Yi would deal with this situation.
But when it comes to whoever laughs the last, whoever laughs the best, just when Wang Hou is laughing terrible, there is a loud bang, but it suddenly explodes. It is obviously the sound of artillery fire, which makes him jump smartly, running out of the central army tent, looking north, and seeing a large area of infantry platoons that were originally neatly arranged like a fortress, knocking a large number of shells away by bowling.
