The leaders of the Inner Khalkhas, Droliktu, and the Korqin Zaisambuhe, were originally willing to make in-depth contact with Wei Bao, but they did not have the opportunity.

Instead, Zhuo Temur, who was captured by the treasure army, found an opportunity by mistake.

Drotmur was about the same height as Wei Bao, but much stronger, as strong as a bison.

Wei Bao looked at Zhuo Temur's tendons and flesh, and his tanned and shiny complexion looked a little older than his actual age.

Wei Bao didn't say anything.

Drotmur preceded a Mongol ritual when meeting a noble person, "Meet the noble lord." ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Your news is quite well-informed, and you still know about my knighthood." ”

"The whole steppe knows." Zhuo Temur said: "We don't want to be enemies of Lord Wei, we were coerced by Jiannu, in fact, our clan has always wanted to be close to Heaven and Earth. ”

"I know." Wei Bao said calmly: "Everyone will have the idea of getting close to powerful forces. ”

Trotmur's two hands rubbed together on his pants, feeling very restrained, a dignified man, in front of Wei Bao, who was many years younger than him, felt very unnatural.

"You may be seated." Wei Bao made a gesture of please.

Drottmul saluted again, then sat down in a chair next to him.

"You want to be close to me, mainly because I have great strength, and you want to rely on me to fight against Jiannu, don't you?" Wei Bao asked.

Drotmur nodded.

"But you don't think our army is capable of traveling long distances to fight the Jiannu in the grasslands, so you're hesitant, aren't you?" Wei Bao then asked.

Zhuo Temur nodded again, although the treasure army has cavalry, but the number is too small, only one or two thousand people, this little strength, how to fight against Jiannu? How do you help them defend themselves against the attacks of the slaves?

No matter how strong Wei Bao's strength is, the biggest danger for the Mongols now comes from Jiannu, and it is one thing for Jiannu to be unable to defeat the Bao army, and it is another thing whether the Bao army has the ability to protect the Mongols.

Wei Bao actually didn't have any good arguments for this, the Bao Army Cavalry Regiment was indeed not many, and Wei Bao didn't want to develop cavalry on a large scale, thinking that having a cavalry regiment was enough.

The army of the treasure army is going to take the motorized route, and if you have trucks, what do you need so many horses for?

It's just that I don't know if it will take ten or twenty years for Tiandihui to produce self-developed vehicles, and it may take longer.

Wei Bao picked up the mare's milk wine and took a sip, he couldn't stand the smell of mare's milk, so it was improved and added a lot of sweetness.

Wei Bao borrowed the buffer space for drinking, but he was actually considering the wording to see how to serve it

Drottmur also took the mare's milk wine on the table and drank it, and took a sip of it, almost not spurting it, because it was not the familiar smell to him.

But thinking that this was the hospitality of the lord's family, and besides, the young man in front of him was the noble status of the lord, he still swallowed it.

Seeing this, Wei Bao smiled and said, "Does it feel like it's not the mare's milk wine you usually drink?" ”

Zotmur didn't hide it, and nodded directly.

"Well, aren't you used to it? Your wine is too strong, but I don't like the mix of spirits and mare's milk. When it comes to spirits, your wine is only about 40 degrees, but my wine is nearly 70 degrees, I don't know if you can drink it? Wei Bao said, let the guards bring the four special wines.

The guard immediately brought a fine wine bottle.

Drotmur's eyes lit up just by looking at the transparent, glittering bottle.

Although Si Tejiu is also sold to the Mongolian steppe, the quantity is still small, and it is all inferior green bottles.

This kind of crystal clear white glass bottle is still not easy to achieve for the current level of craftsmanship of the Tiandi Society, and the best bottle is naturally used to hold the best wine.

Industrially, heaven and earth will develop slowly.

The piece of wine-making is close to the modern wine-making process of Weibao before its rebirth, and it can even be said that it has been surpassed.

These are all good wines blended with pure grains, and the taste is very pure.

Wei Bao motioned for Zottemul to drink.

Drottmur picked up the wine cup and took a sip, so spicy that he almost stuck out his tongue.

Wei Bao smiled: "How is it?" Is this a habit of drinking? ”

"I have drunk this kind of wine in the grassland, and the wine of the lord is more fragrant, stronger, and the taste is about the same, this is a good wine, but I am not used to it." Zottmur Road.

"Well, I just like the personality of your Mongolians walking around." Wei Bao smiled: "Everything has a habit process, and my army was not used to firearms at the beginning, but how do you look at it now?" After our army was equipped with firearms, the cavalry of 2,000 men would be able to take Karaqin and cut off the rear route of Jiannu. ”

Zhuo Temur wanted to say that it was because of the infighting between the Mongols and the Jin, but this infighting was all caused by himself, and he was a little embarrassed to say it.

After all, his clan is fighting with the Jin people this time, they are equivalent to the Jin people's subordinates, and resisting the Jin people is equivalent to rebelling against the master's family.

"You don't have to say it, I know what you want to say, you want to say that if you don't fight among yourself, we won't be able to attack Karaqin City, right?" Wei Bao said with a smile: "As long as there are sufficient firearms and ammunition, let's not talk about Karaqin, even the Shengjing City of Jiannu will also be attacked!" You should have heard that I killed tens of thousands of Jiannu on the edge of Shengjing City with 2,000 people, and I have already attacked the city of Shengjing City, right? ”

Zhuotmur nodded and said, "I've heard of it, you fought very well in that battle, and it shocked the entire desert. ”

Wei Bao smiled with satisfaction, "If you take our equipment and have enough ammunition, you can do it too!" I don't have a lot of cavalry training, because our army is mainly infantry, and my current focus is on developing the economy, and I don't want to spend a lot of resources on war! And Jiannu obviously can't beat me anymore, so I don't need to spend resources like this, do you understand? ”

Zhuo Temur didn't seem to understand it, his Chinese level was average, and he didn't know what Wei Bao wanted to say.

"You are different, if you don't swear to resist Jiannu, you have to be a cow and a horse, this trip you were coerced by Jiannu to Liaodong, not only did you have no benefit, but also had to bear the huge war costs of Jiannu, this is the proof! In the future, such days will continue, and you will wait any longer, just like a dog being ridden by a man of great weight, and the dog will become thinner and thinner, until one day it will not be able to ride and will die of exhaustion. Although the metaphor is not good, it is what it is. Wei Bao said: "So, you either choose to be dragged to death by Jiannu, or choose to resist." ”

"Sir, your analogy is very impolite!" "Do you mean that you want our tribe to buy your weapons and ammunition?" ”

Wei Bao smiled and nodded, "You understand?" Very good! Without further ado, what do you think? ”

"Not well, noble lord, I know that you are very powerful. But you don't know that our tribe is very poor, and food is a problem, and the weapons you provide us must be very expensive, and we certainly can't afford to use them. And once we learn to use the weapons you give, get used to the weapons you provide, and we can't imitate them ourselves, then we will have to rely on you! I'm afraid that in the end, it won't be much better than clinging to the Jin people. "Drotmurdo.

Wei Bao was stunned, he thought that the other party would not hesitate, and he was pleasantly surprised and immediately agreed.

Wei Bao didn't expect this stout guy to be quite smart.

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it yet," Wei Bao said, "I have provided you with weapons, and I have no intention of following Jiannu's intention to control you. Of course, you are willing to attach yourself to me, and I welcome it! Moreover, you were originally loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but it was only because of the rise of Jiannu in the past few decades that the Ming Dynasty was weak and you fell to Jiannu, didn't you? ”

Zortmur didn't say anything more, but his eyes clearly didn't believe Wei Bao's words.

Wei Bao felt that the other party's prejudice against the Han people was not small.

Wei Bao was not in a hurry, and calmly beckoned Zhuo Temur to drink and eat, while analyzing the Mongolian cavalry to Zhuo Temur.

The combat effectiveness of the cavalry archery tactics of the nomadic tribes was often overestimated.

First of all, the nomadic tribes were generally poorly equipped with horse archers, there was a serious shortage of iron tools, armor, swords and guns were worse than those of the sedentary peoples, and only the production level of bows and arrows was higher.

Secondly, nomadic tribes are often poorly disciplined and do not belong to each other, and the leaders of various tribes are attached to the banner of a certain khan, and there is oil and water to catch everyone on a piece, and when they encounter hard bones, who gnaws and who is stupid, loses the battle, anyway, the six-legged horse rotates and escapes quickly, and whoever wants to break and die everyone is mentally supported.

If you win, you will be aggressive, and if you lose, you will be ruined.

Fighting against disciplined regular cavalry is basically a matter of defeat.

Because of the abundance of martial virtues, their own people often fight with each other for a herd of cattle and sheep or booty or a piece of pasture, and infighting is frequent, and it is easy to be bought by the enemy.

The essence of nomadic tribal tactics lies in mobility and suddenness.

Wantonly killing and plundering the enemy's weakly defended rear and destroying the enemy's logistical supply, constantly harassing the enemy's flanks, and launching a surprise attack when the enemy is slacking off and not paying attention.

Mounted archery is generally a light horse to shoot arrows about twenty or thirty meters in front of the enemy's formation, and the lethality of archery is limited further away.

Theoretically, it is feasible to wear Yang in 100 steps, but those who can do it are one out of a hundred, and after shooting a few arrows, people will be tired.

Wei Bao mentions some of the wars between the Mongols and the Europeans to Drotmur.

There were also some traditional European cavalry, which fought with cavalry that had been equipped with firearms.

In the war between Rome and Parthia, the Romans did not see this tactic at first, and Crassus was defeated and annihilated.

When the Romans became familiar with the tactics of mounted archery, they quickly found a way to restrain themselves, forming light infantry, using bows and arrows and javelins, and maintaining a formation under the cover of the legion's heavy infantry to shoot at the Parthians.

Mongol cavalry archers and light infantry could not take advantage of each other, unless the cavalry archers picked up their swords and spears and charged, but the Romans would throw thistles everywhere on the ground to slow down the Parthian cavalry's charge.

When the Parthians had exhausted their offensive, they launched a deadly charge against their command center with the cooperation of disciplined legionary infantry and cavalry.

In the nearly 200 years of warfare between the Parthians and the Romans, Parthia was actually at a disadvantage, and the capital Ctesiphon was captured several times.

In general, nomadic tribes have always had a relationship with Western armies. During the Crusades, the rear flanks of the Crusaders were forever harassed by *** cavalry archers, and it was annoying, and if a certain count and baron couldn't help but chase all the way and accidentally chased into the valley, then the war could only end with defeat.

And if the crusaders capture the main force of the *** army on a relatively narrow battlefield, and the ironclad knights charge, the *** army will immediately collapse.

The Lionheart always paid attention to maintaining formation during the march, the crossbowmen and pikemen dismounted knights were mixed, and it was strictly forbidden to charge without brains, Saladin's cavalry archers always had no way to take the crusades, and the Lionheart always wandered near the coast, the logistics were guaranteed by the Genoese, and they never dared to let their army go deep into the interior, and everyone actually fought a draw.

The Mongol expedition to the west did not rely only on cavalry archers, the Mongol army was the most strict military discipline in the world at that time, in addition to light cavalry, there were also good heavy cavalry and the most advanced siege weapons in the world at that time.

The Mongolian generals were experienced, the combat command was thorough, the generals at all levels strictly obeyed orders, and the nomadic people's unique ability to survive long-distance cross-country battles, so they fought all over the Eurasian continent.

The Mongol cavalry of the Western Expedition actually had a very important position, but this state of the Mongols did not last long, and soon the Mongols gradually became corrupted and weakened.

After the defeat at Ainzarut, the Ilkhanate never took advantage of the decades-long war with the Mamluks.

After the 14th century, the borders between the Golden Horde and the countries of Eastern Europe were basically fixed, and the Tatars could no longer conquer cities as they wished, but could only maintain suzerainty over the Russian principalities and the occupation of the South Russian steppes.

After the murder of the Golden Horde, the Janibe Khan began to fight among themselves, but the Tatars still relied on cavalry mobility to raid people and slaves everywhere in the vast fields.

In fact, relying only on mounted archers can only harass them, and the key to solving the battle is to rely on heavy cavalry.

In Western Europe, the battlefield is generally relatively narrow and has many obstacles, which is not particularly suitable for light cavalry combat, but in the relatively arid Eastern European Great Plain, from the Dniester River to the Ural River, the field of vision is wide and the terrain is flat, which is very suitable for Mongolian and Tatar cavalry mobile operations.

In 1380, at the Battle of Kulikovo, the Grand Duchy of Moscow had been preparing for many years, and it was very difficult to win, and three years later the new Golden Horde Tokhtamysh army arrived, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow was defeated and re-asserted.

In the Battle of Kulikovo, 100 years after Russia defeated the Mongols for the first time, the Golden Horde Ahmad no longer dared to attack Moscow alone, and waited for Lithuanian reinforcements on the banks of the Ugra River on the outskirts of Moscow.

More than 20 years later, the last Golden Horde was killed by the Crimeans, and the Golden Horde was completely destroyed.

Although the Golden Horde perished, several separate khanates, Crimea, Kazan, Astrakhan, Nogai, and Siberia, still had a certain strength, and the strongest was the Crimean Khanate.

In the 16th century, tens of thousands of people were captured and sold into slavery from Poland, Russia, Moldova and other countries almost every year, and many more died.

In 1572, taking advantage of the political instability in Russia, Khandevlait Gelai captured Moscow, captured 150,000 people, and covered the entire Moscow with corpses.

But when the political situation in Tsarist Russia stabilized, Devret Gelehan gathered more Tatar cavalry and tried to attack Moscow again, which was doomed to failure.

At this time, the technology of the arquebus was relatively mature, and although it was complicated to operate, it was able to effectively shoot through armor at a distance of 100 meters.

A group of stupid and stupid-looking guys can easily kill veterans who have been trained for many years after a few months of training, and the mixed arquebusiers and pikemen work together, and the nomadic cavalry archers are at a disadvantage in both long-range shooting and hand-to-hand combat.

The Polish hussars were already able to easily defeat the undisciplined and poorly armed Tatars in the field.

The well-armored European cavalry, the Tatars were definitely not opponents in a head-to-head battle, and Yermak went on an expedition to the Siberian Khanate, and 800 Cossacks completely exploded the tens of thousands of Tatars of Guchum Khan like rabbits, as if they were in a no-man's land.

Although Guchum Khan relied on popular support, raised the banner of jihad, and finally killed Yermak by guerrilla warfare, he was no longer able to resist the second attack of Tsarist Russia.

During the period of Yermak's expedition to Siberia, Russia was able to defeat the Tatars head-on, but it was still overwhelmed and still needed to build a Great Wall to prevent the invasion of the Crimean Tatars.

During the reign of Ivan the Terrible, Tsarist Russia built Great Walls in the border areas of Tula, Ryazan, Belgorod, Voronezh and other areas at that time to resist the invasion of the Crimean Tatars.

The Russians built the Tula Deer Barn to defend against the Tatars.

By the 17th century, European gunsmithing technology and phalanx tactics had become more and more sophisticated.

Wei Bao was like a qualified history teacher, and he patiently explained to Zhuotmur the real reasons for the decline of the Mongol cavalry.

Politics and economics aside, the Mongol cavalry is now inferior to the modern cavalry in individual combat.

"Sir, you don't need to say it anymore, no matter how good your weapons are, I don't need them. If you want to support our clan, you can send us some weapons! Our tribe has tens of thousands of warriors, tens of thousands of people, and countless cattle and sheep. You either give us something, or directly send troops to attack the Jinren, you win, we will naturally obey you, you want us to pay to buy weapons from you, and then let us help you go to the Jinren, do you think I'm a fool? "Drotmurdo.

Wei Bao almost didn't faint, I felt that what I just said was very good, in simple terms, how detailed was it?

You didn't listen to a word, and you went back to the old road?

"It's impossible to send troops, I don't have the idea of directly sending troops to build a slave's nest for the time being, and it's even more impossible to give things for nothing, and I, Wei Bao, never do a loss-making deal." Wei Bao Road.

"And what do you want? Want to trick us into helping you fight the war with two pieces of mouth? Zotmur said coldly.
