The thunderous rumbling sound of hooves shook the earth, and the fields were covered with dust like sandstorms, giving people the terrifying feeling of thousands of troops rushing to their faces.

A large group of generals with bright armor were standing in the distance and watching, and they all showed admiration when they saw such a momentum.

Suddenly, they opened their mouths in surprise, their eyes were full of shock, but in the dust, there were strange scattered figures of more than 100 riders in the yellow sand, but where was there any imaginary thousands of riders?

As the cavalry slowed down, the dust began to disperse. Everyone could see clearly that there were indeed only more than 100 horsemen, and there was not a single soldier after that.

"These cavalrymen are eccentric!" Someone blurted out: "Listen to the thick hoof sound, look at the sand and dust in the sky, how can more than 100 people do it?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen! The general could have regarded this sentence as the greatest compliment to this cavalry! Nan Ying walked vigorously in front of the generals, turned his back to those cavalrymen, and raised his hand sideways with a smile: "Please allow Ben to introduce to you, the first heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty!" ”

"Heavy cavalry?" The generals stared at the approaching cavalry in amazement, their eyes straightened. In the bright afternoon sun, both the strong bodies of the cavalry and the tall horses they stepped down reflected the black metallic luster.

"Maybe you haven't heard of the term heavy cavalry, but what about armored cavalry?" Nan Ying asked with a smile, and when he saw that the eyes of his generals were still blank, he couldn't help but say proudly: "Let's put it this way, this is an unprecedented special army, you ......"

The generals suddenly rushed past Nanying with a "hula" and ran straight towards the cavalry who were wrapped in black iron, without even looking at their generals.

"You ......" Nanying's impassioned voice stopped abruptly, and his fierce gesture was fixed in mid-air, he stayed for a while before smiling bitterly at the empty lawn: "You may not know that the appearance of this army will rewrite the war from now on!" ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around, looked helplessly at those subordinates who were scurrying like headless flies, and scolded: "Your grandmother, the Lord will speak!" Are there any rules? ”

More than 100 cavalrymen were already lined up in two horizontal rows during the movement, and with an order, the war horses suddenly stopped their hooves and formed a strict battle formation. The cavalrymen bowed their heads to their chests on their horses and performed a uniform but unfamiliar military salute that had never been seen before.

The generals shouted "Wow Wow" and rushed straight into the formation, and immediately burst into a shout of amazement.

Without hesitation, they stretched out their hands and groped around the horsemen and horses, and from time to time they uttered unbelievable cries of disbelief.

Li Jin stretched out his hand and flicked the heavy armor on a cavalryman's body, his face full of shock: "God! Why is there such a momentum? From soldiers to war horses, these armors alone reach at least two hundred catties! ”

"What a horse!" Cao Xing praised heartily: "If it weren't for such a good horse, how could it carry such a weight? This is not a horse of the Han soil! ”

"What kind of guard is this?" Hou Cheng squinted his eyes and looked up at the helmet of the cavalry in front of him: "I can't even see my eyes, it's all protected with iron nets!" ”

"Five thousand!" Gan Ning stroked the neck blindfold of a war horse and muttered: "As long as there are five thousand cavalry like this, it is enough to dominate the world!" ”

Dian Wei looked at the head of the horse, which was still a line taller than himself, and couldn't help exclaiming: "This horse! This horse seems to be ......"

"Haha! You stupid big guy was the first to recognize it! Nanying stepped forward: "Not bad! These horses are from Aquix, the Kushan horse dealer! Counting the fifty horses he gave to the general that day, plus the seventy newly purchased horses, the total is only one hundred and twenty horses! ”

"Five thousand cavalry?" He glared at the embarrassed Gan Ning: "Do you know how much this horse costs?" A million dollars! If Ben had 5 billion dollars, it would be enough to buy half the world! ”

"A million dollars!" The generals shouted together.

"If it weren't for the treasure that was snatched from Taiping Dao, I wouldn't even be able to afford these seventy horses!" Nanying spread his hands and said: "So, if we want to expand the scale, one is to find a way to make money, and the other is to be self-reliant!" ”

"It's a pity that Brother Yang is still stationed in Taihang Mountain!" Ma Jun lamented: "Otherwise, we can ask him to come up with a way to breed this heavy war horse in large quantities!" ”

"It's not that simple!" Nan Ying frowned and said: "He Aquix dared to sell horses to us, and naturally he still retains the secret of breeding horse breeds, and he is not afraid that we can breed them on a large scale!" ”

"Then exchange gold for them!" Gao Feng's eyes were full of stars: "Our eagle's nest lacks everything, but there is no shortage of gold." As long as you can exchange a few thousand horses and create a formed heavy cavalry, the day you face those Xiliang troops will be when they will be slaughtered and waiting to die! ”

"Not bad!" Hou Cheng also shouted: "When I saw this cavalry today, I knew what a real cavalry is!" The vain general was still complacent about the combat power of the cavalry of the Northern Army, and now at a glance, it is really a frog at the bottom of the well! ”

"That's right!"

"Where will my cavalry dare to pull out and be embarrassed in the future?"

The generals also chimed in.

"That's what you all think?" Nanying looked at the generals one by one, and saw that they were all excited, and couldn't help sighing: "If you really think that you can run rampant in the world with a heavy cavalry, then you are very wrong!" ”

"The general said this, the last general doesn't understand!" Even Li Jin, who has always been calm, was puzzled: "Although the last general is not good at riding battles, he can also see some doorways." These horses are extremely strong, far superior to the big Han horse breeds, and it is conceivable that the speed and strength of these horses are extremely amazing, so they can support the heavy armor of both men and horses. Once a group charge is initiated, its impact and defense can be displayed at the same time......"

He glanced at Gan Ning: "The last general supports General Gan Ning's statement, there are thousands of such cavalry, which is enough to shock 100,000 infantry or 30,000 cavalry head-on, and the battle can be won!" ”

Hearing Li Jin say this, not only did the generals show their approval together, but even the heavy cavalry who hid their faces behind the face protection also puffed up their chests proudly.

"After talking for a long time, it's still a group of frogs at the bottom of the well, ignorance is a blessing!" Nan Ying waved his hand: "Come, the generals are all sitting on the ground, and the cavalry boys are also around!" Ben will teach you another lesson today to make up for your brain damage! ”

"The first thing to say is that this heavy cavalry is only unique in the Great Han, but it has long existed outside the territory!" When he saw his subordinates surrounding him, he calmly said, "Why is this? There are three reasons, one is that cultural differences determine the different tactical concepts, the second is that geographical differences lead to the opposite development of tactics, and the third is that different horse breeds determine the difference in weight! The details of this will not be discussed in depth today, but will be left for the future, and the advantages and disadvantages of this heavy cavalry will be talked about first! ”

"For heavy cavalry, the speed of horses is relatively stable, so if you want to improve the assault ability of cavalry, you can only find a way to increase equipment. The heavy armor and horse armor not only multiply the impact, but also greatly enhance the defense of men and horses! As several generals said, once a large-scale frontal impact is formed, its horror can only be described as overwhelming! ”

"Speaking of the tactical means of heavy cavalry assault, I could have briefly explained it!" Nan Ying looked at his subordinates who could listen attentively, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "It's not enough to have soldiers and horses, tactics can determine success or failure!" ”

He drew a simple formation pattern on the ground: "Normally, the attacking side uses heavy cavalry to tear through the enemy's first and second lines of defense frontally, providing conditions for the follow-up troops to expand their results, and there are also those who directly use heavy cavalry to carry out chiseling strikes. Here is an example, in the extraterritorial, some countries' heavy cavalry holds more than a foot of cavalry spears to advance in a horizontal row, first using the speed of the war horse to give the cavalry a strong lethality, to inflict heavy damage on the enemy, when the enemy's solid defensive formation gradually blocks the cavalry impact, the cavalry immediately disperses and turns to the side, still in a horizontal formation behind the other cavalry, and then attacks from the next wave of impact formation, producing a strong impact force and continuous consumption on the enemy..."

He paused for a moment, looked at the generals who were gradually turning blue and white, and teased: "Under such a terrible crushing and powerful psychological shock, the general can almost imagine how miserable it will be if you use the sword and shield array commonly used by our army to face the enemy!" ”

"General! You just said the advantages and disadvantages of heavy cavalry? Xu Huang was a little embarrassed and said: "The last general really can't imagine what disadvantages such a terrifying combat force will have?" ”

His panic is actually not difficult to understand, because when it comes to the shield defense of the Han army, it is his strong point.

"Yes! Checkmate! Su Fei was also a little frightened and said: "Let's not talk about whether we will face the extraterritorial heavy cavalry you mentioned in the future, just think about the combat methods of this heavy cavalry after being obtained by the local enemy, and then turn against us, it will be chilling!" ”

"Heavy cavalry, it's not as terrible as you think!" Nan Ying raised three fingers: "With the current military strength of our Eagle Nest alone, there are at least three ways to completely annihilate a heavy cavalry of 5,000 people!" ”

"Impossible!" All the generals and cavalrymen shouted together.

"Want to hear it? What a bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well! Nan Ying mercilessly whipped the self-esteem of his subordinates: "I really don't know why you wastes have been with Ben Jiang for so long, why are you still so clumsy......"

"General!" Gao Feng exclaimed with an innocent face: "If you still talk about those methods to lure the enemy deep and ambush and set up traps, you can avoid opening your mouth!" As long as the enemy commander still has a shrewdness, it is impossible to give up the advantage of a head-to-head duel! ”

"Did Ben say that he was going to yin them?" Nan Ying glared and said, "For you stupid people who don't know how to change, of course, the only way to teach you is to break the enemy head-on!" ”

"Break the enemy head-on!" The generals came to their senses at once, and they all sat upright, their eyes not squinting, and their ears were erected.

"The first way to break the enemy, if you are unprepared during the march and are intercepted head-on by the enemy's heavy cavalry!" Nanying smiled: "You know the mobility ability of our eagle's nest, you can use hundreds of special four-wheeled combat vehicles to form a ring defense line in the shortest possible time, weaken the impact damage of the enemy, once the enemy's offensive is frustrated, and then use our army's powerful long-range strike force to cover the attack from the tank formation, even if you can't win, you can protect yourself!" ”

"Well said!" Gao Feng and Gao Tie woke up like a dream together, and before the words fell, one person received a slap on the head: "Whether the general said it well or not, it's not your turn to evaluate!" ”

After thinking about it, the rest of the generals also nodded. Yes, the most terrible thing about the heavy cavalry is the impact, as long as there is an obstacle to obstruct it, coupled with the intensive attack of the archers, it is indeed not to be feared.

"The second way to break the enemy, the two armies are scheduled to fight, each in formation, to break the force with force!" Nanying pointed to the head of the Eagle's Nest City in the distance: "Boys, have you seen it?" The catapults and ballistas that Mr. Murjean and Pony Jun have worked so hard to build are not meant to scare people! In the event of a head-on engagement, our army can dig a wide trench in front of the two armies to contain the enemy's attack, and then place the shield array and archers in front of the formation, and the catapults and ballistae are clustered behind the formation, and as soon as the enemy approaches, they will immediately deal a devastating blow! ”

He smiled lightly: "Even if there are still cats and dogs rushing to the front of the battle by luck, one of our soldiers spitting is enough to drown them!" ”

The generals burst into laughter, and their fear of the heavy cavalry was immediately greatly reduced, and someone laughed and said: "If the enemy commander is a little sensible, after seeing the powerful equipment of our army, I am afraid that he will never dare to attack rashly!" ”

"General! I don't know what the third method of warfare is? Someone called out impatiently.

"The third method, and the one you are most likely to encounter......" Nanying said slowly, "Command an ordinary light cavalry and engage in encounters with enemy heavy cavalry in the field!" ”

"What?" Someone blurted out: "That's not dead!" ”

"Wrong! Cavalry against cavalry, light against heavy, soft against rigid, and annihilate the enemy! Nanying's understated words instantly shook the audience.

"The last general ......" Xu Huang suddenly understood, he stood up a little shaky, and saluted solemnly: "The last general implores the general to teach the tactics of war!" ”

"Please teach the general the tactics of war!" The generals all came to their senses. Did the general take this opportunity to teach the greatest essence of cavalry combat? If you can learn this method, you will definitely have the opportunity to establish immortal achievements in the future and achieve the prestige of a generation of famous generals.

Xu Huang ...... There's a future! Nanying rarely showed a condescending tone: "Good! Ben will come to you to tell you more! ”

"As I have just said, the powerful power of the heavy cavalry impact mainly comes from the overall advantage of their fully armed armor and strict formation, but we must see that the heavy cavalry has also brought a great load because of the addition of heavy equipment, which makes their impact kinetic energy not last long, which is what we call the principle of one blow, then decline, and three exhaustions!"

"In view of their weaknesses, the key to victory for the light cavalry is to avoid their sharpness, attack their laziness, force them to disperse, and annihilate the sixteen-character mantra one by one!"

"General! Can you elaborate a little more? The generals' eyes lit up together, and it was as if they had entered a realm that had never been seen before.

"Yes! In short, the advantage of light cavalry is that its mobility exceeds that of heavy cavalry, so it is necessary to first use the high mobility to mobilize the opponent, destroy the strict formation of the heavy cavalry, and finally achieve encirclement and annihilation through the battlefield detour! ”

"Ben will often tell you that tactics are the embodiment of imagination! And the light cavalry tactics are the process of bringing imagination to the extreme! Nan Ying stretched out his hand and drew a formation on the ground again: "In the face of heavy cavalry, the light cavalry can completely camouflage and disperse, induce it to pursue, constantly consume the enemy with the technique of return fire, and then calmly form a formation in the distance, and continuously lure the enemy to attack." If the enemy retreats, then our army will chase and kill, and so on. When the enemy's horsepower is exhausted and the formation is completely disorganized, it is time for them to be destroyed! ”

"It turns out that you can do this!" The generals were dumbfounded, and one of them sighed softly: "We are indeed frogs at the bottom of the well!" ”

"Don't think that it is shameful to retreat from the enemy, and to destroy the enemy at the lowest cost is the right way! Therefore, Ben General also said that the rules of war lie in the fact that there are no rules at all! ”

"Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry archery, in fact, has created a superb tactic, but we haven't carried it forward yet!" Nan Ying said with some emotion: "Although my Han only has light cavalry, he is never afraid of any cavalry in the world!" ”

"General, you said it so well!" Li Jin nodded in a daze, and suddenly showed a look of shame: "The last general is still thinking about how to win the command of this heavy cavalry, but now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit too ambitious and sacrificing!" ”

"You said that, but you were wrong again!" A sly smile appeared on Nan Ying's lips: "If the heavy cavalry is useless, why would it have taken so much effort to build it?" ”

"Every branch of the military has its necessity and importance! If you want to win more and lose less, the key is still in the use of tactics and the cooperation of the troops! He said heavily: "You will each lead an army in the future, although the military branches are different, but I hope that you can use it flexibly and control it well, and you must not have a small heart, let alone cut off the cooperation with your comrades!" ”

"Because, just as the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry are good at their own strengths, so are the generals!" He finally said the final word: "A strong army must rely on the correct command of good people at all levels in order to achieve victory after victory!" The army must have generals, and will be the lord of national security! ”
