Chapter 80: The Cavalry Archers Who Walked Away

In December of the 30th year of Emperor Feng, the great and wise Dandelion Marshal and his close comrade-in-arms and loyal friend Chang Aotian led fifty of the bravest and most loyal elite cavalry of the Xiqu Mountain Country to open up the Huayu Grassland. The Dandelion Legion, the strongest cavalry legion on the mainland that shone in the subsequent Battle of the Gods, appeared on the stage of history for the first time. Since then, a series of events have opened a new chapter in the history of the mainland. In my opinion, this year is more qualified to be the first year of the War of the Gods.

-- "The Decline of Armor and Cavalry and the Rise of Archers"

Out of respect for history, I think it is necessary to solemnly introduce the members of this invincible lion team to the reader (in no particular order):

Forgive me, Chief Advisor, humility has always been my original sin.

Chief General: At that time, he was only a fledgling tooth general, and the rising god of war on the continent under the care and teaching of the great and wise Dandelion Marshal: Xie Xuan.

Chief Logistics Minister: She is a ruler of beauty and holiness...... (Thousands of words omitted here)

-- "The Decline of Armor and Cavalry and the Rise of Cavalry Archers Second Edition"

After the release of the second edition, it caused countless people to complain, some people scolded him for succumbing to the powerful, and some people didn't think so.

Enemies? Enemies? Enemies from nowhere? Bandits or armies?

Looking at the cavalry slowly approaching in the field of vision of the high magnification mirror, Su Wen's expression became serious.

The Huayu Grassland is flat, and there is hardly any decent highland to be seen. With the help of a high-powered mirror and military knowledge to make up for it in the ruins, Su Wen played the role of a scout. Word by word, he reported: no flags, no signs, two hundred armored horsemen, full body armor, and four-meter spears. 400 hussars, half lancers, half archers. There are people approaching in the distance, the number is unknown.

The air seemed to freeze and suffocate. Each piece of information felt like an extra boulder was pressed on the chest.

"The light cavalry moved to the left and right of our side, and the first cavalry was mounted in a wedge-shaped formation, moving slowly. ”

A warrior's first battle is extremely important, and no matter how well trained, an inexperienced soldier is not much better than a sheep. Nervousness and errors in judgment will harm the death of the war in vain. In a field situation, even if the two sides are equal in numbers, the qualified general will choose to trade time for the next fighter. Easier victories allow new fighters to integrate into the group more quickly. In the current team, there is only one person who has experience in battle formations, and he still loses the battle.

Chang Aotian, who prides himself on being a military advisor, made what he thought was the most correct suggestion: "Let's run!"

Su Wen glanced at the warriors who were known as the most elite warriors in the Xiqu Mountain Country, hoping to gain courage from them. The fighters look good, at least they don't need to prepare for the pre-war mobilization that they are not good at. Great warriors do not need to boost morale at all, he

Their expressions betrayed their hearts: these guys are as desperate as the military advisors!!

The tooth keeper Xie Xuan remained silent, waiting for Su Wen's order. Only the general has the power to make decisions, and his decisions will see the results within a quarter of an hour, shame or honor? Xie Xuan did not dare to expect honor. The last defeat not only brought shame and punishment to himself, but also shrouded the future of the family with a black veil. In the current situation, victory is out of the question. Whether you retreat or not, dying in battle is your best destination. I only hope that my sacrifice can help my comrades survive.

Ling Yue'er has always been the backbone of the sisters, and her rapid-fire longbow is not inferior to anyone who is known for her archery skills, and has been proven in the martial arts assessment. Faced with the pressure of life or death in front of her, she didn't have any other thoughts. just thinks that since this man has saved her life, it's a big deal to return it to him here. The only thing to worry about is that it falls into the hands of the enemy. The girl touched the short knife tied to her abdomen, her last chance to preserve her dignity.

glanced at her sister Ling Mengyi, and Ling Mengyi, the youngest and most lively, blinked nervously. Nervousness doesn't mean she will back down, seeing the dagger she has tied to her wrist, she thinks the same, and she is really a good sister.

Cao Lingyunfei, the thief under the door, smiled wryly, he was really unlucky, and he was about to transfer away from a once-in-a-century war. His fate has been handed over to this master who can toss, if he is stupid enough not to retreat, all he can do is to try his best to win a martyr's monument for the family.

Although she couldn't say why, Zhao Shu was not nervous, and even a little blindly confident. Walking with him in the ruins for many days, although this man was stupid and reckless in battle, as long as it was a battle, his decisions were unexpected, but reasonable, this time he did not choose to bring people, but a large group of horses. I don't know if I win or lose, but I guess it's not so easy to die.

Holding the sight and staring intently at the slightest movement of the opposing commander, Su Wen suddenly realized that the silence was terrifying! Could it be that he was the only one left? The others ran away? Frightened, he immediately looked back on the week, fortunately, everyone was there, and his face was like ashes.

After pondering the war in this world for a long time, it is time to combine theory with practice. Su Wen silently recited the entire plan again, full of anticipation for the next battle.

Su Wen gathered the military cao in the team, and his sharp and confident gaze swept over Xie Xuan, Ling Yue'er, Ling Mengyi, and Ling Yunfei. In a firm and unquestioning tone, he said, "Everyone, pay attention, now under my command, each of you is responsible for bringing your own ten people. ”

Although the four generals didn't know the meaning of what he was doing, there was something to do that would at least ease the tension.

"First, check each person's four war horses, whether they can survive or not depends on them. ”

"Second, check the weapons, except for bows, arrows, daggers, and short knives, all other weapons are thrown away. ”

"Thirdly, check the food, and throw it away except for the horse feed,"

"Fourth, check the tent pots and stoves, just to clear the warehouse, and leave nothing in the whole field, and throw away all of them. The people looked at each other and listened

It sounds familiar.

"Fifth, check the clothes, the bedding. Throw it away, throw it away."

"Sixth, check the armor,"

Xie Xuan, who was born in heavy cavalry, obviously had a deeper affection for armor.

"No, the armor remains,"

"Now gather around and listen to my story, memorizing every word. ”

"Do you know dandelions?"

Who on the prairie would not know? "Yes," everyone replied in unison.

"What happens when the dandelion flies up and you try to catch it?"

Immediately, everyone had different opinions, "grasping it into a ball" and "grasping it into pieces" Ling Mengyi said weakly: "The wind will blow it away." This is the person who has a life, Su Wen asked, "Do you hear that?" As he spoke, he took out a dandelion and blew it lightly, and the dandelion immediately flew all over the sky. Su Wen's palm stood like a knife, and he slashed hard at the flying dangong mile. The dandelion was stirred up by the air current, spun extremely quickly, and then hung lightly in the air. Finally, Su Wen spread his hand and waited for a dandelion to land in his palm.

Do you want to retreat? Everyone finally relented and retreated without a fight, and only the leaders were held responsible.

"Do you see? The hoplites of the other side are the palms of my hands, and we are like dandelions, "a little touch and go, never touch", and "a little touch and go" is the key point. Be careful not to touch. Confirm again, "Touch it and go" Su Wen asked loudly, "Do you understand?"

"Understood, "Leave with a little touch," the four generals said in unison.

"Okay, go back and prepare, and when you're done, make a line. ”

The four generals each returned to their own positions and quickly cleaned up the army according to Su Wen's request. The man is in front, and the horse is behind. The generals stood in the front row, and the soldiers behind them stood in a long line.

"Steady" Su Wen saw that the other party's two winged light horses had begun to run slowly, and immediately shouted. Calm and calm on the surface, but actually panicked inside. Secretly prayed that his calculations were not wrong, and Lao Pu would not be too cunning of himself.

When I went back, I talked about cavalry warfare, and Lao Pu said that he was a professional, a Mongolian herdsman, and the tribe had a long tradition of fighting, and the school he studied in was in the military horse farm. I volunteered to write many pages of references, the notes were well-organized, and the data was detailed, so even a novice could understand it.

At first, Su Wen was shocked, and after asking carefully, Lao Pu said proudly, the 1957 edition of "Horse Breeding" is a holy book for major workers, peasants and military schools and agricultural schools, and it was memorized word by word. Scared Su Wen to the point that the focus of the textbook in the agricultural school was still the 1957 edition? Lao Pu nodded and said, yes, there are not many people who understand this now, but the head of the military horse farm is the head of the military horse farm who teaches us.....

After coming back, I checked the data, fortunately, the difference is not too big, since there is no information for reference, make do with it, who would have thought that this would encounter war
