In the final stage of the war between the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao, the Tang Dynasty Song Wei and Gao Biao broke the Nanzhao army several times, and the Nanzhao "repeatedly overwhelmed the people, and the country was exhausted", and the Tang Dynasty's several victories made the Nanzhao lose the courage to fight again.

Nanzhao once relied on the shallow barbarian tribes of King Liu, King Hao, and King Yang of Li and Yajian to fight against the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty's Xichuan Jiedu made Wang Jian treat these tribes harshly, and Nanzhao and these tribes did not dare to invade.

Later, these tribal leaders leaked military aircraft and were killed by Wang Jian.

In the end, the Southern Zhao fell several years before the Tang Dynasty.

The three-stage attack of the Ming army is just a tactic, and if you want to make good use of the three-stage attack, you need multiple arms to cover the firearms troops, and you need to be geographically advantageous.

Firearms alone could not withstand the onslaught of cavalry until the Napoleonic era, and either Murat would not have been one of the most famous generals among the twenty-six marshals.

What really frightened the little book in the Ming Dynasty was the real artillery unit.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty fought Mongolia and its various changes, which can also be called repeated victories, but the border troubles have never stopped, and the highest peak is to make a civil fort change and take out the defense of Beijing.

Compared with the peace period won by the Han army for the Han Dynasty after the three wars of Monan, Hexi, and Mobei, the battle record is too inadequate.

The activities of the Jinyiwei intelligence agency against Japan were only wartime acts, and the reaction of an espionage department after receiving the report was merely a response.

Guan Ning Iron Ride, how many blowing ingredients are there.

Weapons and equipment, the so-called three-eyed firearms, shoot immediately, scary people, count on accuracy that is purely talking nonsense with wide eyes, and there is no mechanical sight, standing is not good at hitting the rope, or it is better to smash people quickly.

In the final analysis, the Guanning Iron Cavalry is still a traditional cold weapon unit.

In terms of historical achievements, during the Wanli period, more than 100,000 elites of the Ming army were wiped out, and the Liaodong Army, the ancestor of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, was also among the chickens and eggs.

A few years ago, the Liaodong Army was showing off its might in the Imjin War.

As for the record of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, there was not a single victory in the field against the Manchu Eight Banners.

Too many bloody lessons have taught everyone that riding on foot and conquering the army with the city is nothing but a beautiful lie.

Therefore, it is difficult to reach a definitive conclusion on many things in history, and we can only rely on people to keep writing.

Early the next morning, Jiannu launched an attack.

In fact, Jiannu could detect that someone was coming to the rescue, and there were not many people coming.

Cao Wenzhao's men and horses drove from the direction of Xifengkou, and Jiannu had no way to investigate.

Liu Dahe's Baojun cavalry regiment was transported by Baojun sailors to the westernmost source of the Daling River by transport ship, and then came around in a big circle.

Although the Jiannu cavalry did not detect it, the Baojun cavalry regiment successfully joined the Nekhalkha tribal camp, but they can estimate the approximate number of people through the imprints left by the horses.

"Great Khan, don't worry too much, eighty percent are still the cavalry of the treasure army, about two thousand people, it seems that after they fought with us last time, they replenished a few hundred people and restored the number of two thousand." Rather finish me on the equator of Nurha.

Nurhachi nodded: "Most of them are this group of men and horses, except for such a few cavalry, other armies of the treasure army dare not run behind us." Hmph, they're looking for death! Last time, the cavalry of the treasure army sneaked up once, and they didn't know how powerful they were! This time, if they dare to help the Mongols resist us, they must completely destroy this treasure cavalry! ”

Jiannu's troops were exactly the same as those judged by Liu Dahe and Cao Wenzhao before, that is, the middle lane was the main one, and the two wings were outflanked.

There were almost 6,000 people in the middle road, and Mang Gurtai himself was in charge, with more than 1,000 people on each wing.

"It's just that I don't know if the cavalry of the treasure army will help the Inner Khalkha people break off, or help protect them on the two wings, it is estimated that it is one of the two wings." Bao Cheng said first.

Nurhachi smiled and said: "No matter, no matter where he is, send someone to tell Mang Gurtai that once the movement of the treasure army cavalry is discovered, it will be surrounded and annihilated first!" The encirclement and annihilation of the Bao army is more important than the pursuit of the Nekhalkhas. ”

The herald said yes and rode away.

Attack while fighting and retreating.

A great war unfolded in the vast prairie.

In fact, the Mongols had a set of defenses against cavalry attacks.

Because the most invincible thing about the Mongols themselves was the cavalry, only because now they are not united, they are divided, and their strength is weakened.

But the Mongols used cavalry, which seemed to be inherently powerful.

The main combat force of the Mongol army was cavalry, about 30% of the shock heavy cavalry, clad in iron armor, armed with spears or cavalry spears as the main weapons.

About 70% of the shooting hussars, with or without leather armor, were armed with bows and arrows.

The secondary combat force is a large number of infantry, professional and technical personnel recruited from the occupied areas.

It is mainly used to maintain the front, siege of the fortress.

The main tactic of the Mongol army was that the light cavalry used mobility to take the lead in attacking the flanks of the opponent's formation, forcing the opponent to retreat or attack, breaking the opponent's formation, and waiting until the opponent's formation began to loosen and flawed, and the heavy cavalry began to charge in a group, crushing the opponent in one fell swoop.

Obviously, this kind of disciplined, light and heavy cavalry army was very terrible, and it was very difficult to deal with in the time of Genghis Khan and the two powerful monarchs in front of him.

The heavy cavalry forced the opponent to form a dense formation to defend against the impact, but the dense formation provided the best target for the light cavalry.

In order to reduce the accuracy of the light cavalry fire, the opposing side was again forced to disperse the formation, which again gave the heavy cavalry a chance to charge.

But the Mongol army also had weaknesses in tactics.

The Mongols themselves knew their weaknesses and would use them against the Jiannu Iron Cavalry.

Firstly, their heavy cavalry was inferior to the heavy cavalry of Europe and the Middle East at that time in terms of equipment, horses and combat skills, and secondly, their infantry was weak and could not provide effective support to the cavalry.

There are two ways to defeat an army with a combination of light and heavy cavalry.

One is to have better heavy cavalry and light cavalry.

This was the more specialized Mamluk army, and this was how the Arab army, with the Mamluks at its core, defeated the Mongol army at Ain Jalu.

Although the Mongols fought on expeditions and away from home, the Mamluks had much fewer troops.

There is also an army with a more comprehensive range of troops, which combines heavy cavalry and light steps.

Suppress the Mongol light cavalry with light infantry with longer range and higher hit rate, and maintain the line with better protected heavy infantry to cover the light infantry and prevent the onslaught of the Mongol heavy cavalry.

When the Mongol cavalry was loose due to casualties and exhaustion, their own heavy cavalry launched a decisive attack, taking advantage of the quality advantage, to defeat the core heavy cavalry of the Mongol army, thus crushing the Mongol army. Such an army did not exist when the Mongols swept through Eurasia, but there were a little earlier, that is, the Crusaders. The Battle of Assuf is a good example of the superiority of an army with a heavy cavalry structure over an army with a heavy cavalry structure.

In fact, the Arab armies were almost helpless in the face of such a multi-service army, and they lost more than they won in a head-on battle.

Even the Mamluks, who had defeated the Mongol army, under the leadership of the wise Saladin, were completely annihilated by Baldwin's crusaders, and it was obvious that the Mongols would not be able to take advantage of such an army.

From a strategic point of view, terrain was the best weapon to suppress the Mongol cavalry.

The Southern Song Dynasty relied on the watery and mountainous terrain of southern China to withstand the Mongol army for decades.

Relying on the sea and rugged terrain, the Japanese were able to defeat the Mongol army in land battles, and if the Mongol army stepped into the mountainous and forested Central and Western Europe, its combat capability would definitely be greatly reduced, and it might suffer defeat.

So although the Mongol army was strong, even in that era, it was not invincible.

Now the discipline of the Nekhalkha tribe is obviously not on the same level as that of Jiannu, and the war horses are not as good as the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, so they can only rely on experience, use more multi-arms to fight together, and increase the number of heavy infantry and light infantry.

The number of Nekharkha heavy cavalry and light cavalry was also equal to that of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and even in terms of heavy cavalry, the number was superior.

The Mongolian cavalry is not very good at fighting in complex terrain, of course, the Mongolian army is not without victory in some famous mountain battles, such as Yehuling, but after all, that battle was personally commanded by Genghis Khan, and the morale of the Mongolian army was extremely high, and the Jin army commanded itself also had many problems, and the Southern Song Dynasty itself was an example.

After the fall of the Jin Dynasty in 1235, the Song-Mongol War broke out, and the Southern Song Dynasty fell in 1279, which lasted 45 years.

It is also divided into three parts, the Ogedai Song (1235-1241), the Möngkeva Song (1256-1259), and the Kublai Khan Song (1267-1279).

Wokotai attacked the Song Dynasty, in fact, it was already divided into Sichuan, Jingxiang, and Jianghuai three roads, and the momentum was terrifying, and there was an attempt to annex the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, but the result was mired in a quagmire.

The Middle Route Army was repelled by Meng Hui under the city of Jiangling, and the Eastern Route Army attacked Luzhou and Huangzhou and also lost the battle, and the Western Route Army successively captured Yangping Pass and Chengdu, but then was repelled by Meng Hui near Zigui, Yiling of the Three Kingdoms, and Daya Village.

Due to the unfavorable progress of the three routes and the death of Ogedei, the Mongolian army was forced to return north.

The war lasted seven years, and the Mongol army had little to gain other than the occupation of Chengdu.

From this point of view, the Mongol army fought very hard in the Sichuan-Yangtze River defense system, and it was almost difficult to move an inch.

The main force of the Mongol army was used for the western expedition, and the troops attacking the Song Dynasty were weak, and the battle line was too long, the troops were scattered, and there was no clear direction of the main attack.

Kublai Khan invaded the Song Dynasty and spent another 7 years fighting Xiangyang (1267-1273), and after the destruction of Xiangyang, it took another two years to conquer Jianghuai and Lin'an (1274-1275), and 4 years (1276-1279) to sweep away the remnants of the Song army in the south, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished.

From this point of view, many battles that the Mongol army really fought well, such as the Mongol War, which dragged on for a long time because of the unfavorable siege, the conquest of Khorezm, the Caliphate, Kievan Rus, the destruction of Poland and Hungary, etc.

It can be seen that most of the terrain is indeed a plain with a flat river, and the defenders have no danger to defend, once they encounter the terrain that is not conducive to cavalry mobile warfare and the enemy army has sufficient strength and tenacity, the Mongolian army is very likely to suffer defeat.

In 1380, the Grand Duke of Moscow Dimitry and the Golden Horde army fought a decisive battle in the Kulikovo Field, Kulikovo's name is the Field, which is actually a swampy land, with a radius of 100 miles of dense jungle and ravines, and many rivers such as the Nepriyadeva River, the Smolka River, the Kurcha River, and the Shadubiak River flow through the Don River.

The small size and peculiar terrain made it difficult for the Mongol troops, accustomed to using large numbers of cavalry to outflank them, to use the frontal attack they were not accustomed to, but it greatly facilitated the ambush tactics of the small Rus' army.

After some scuffle, the Golden Horde collapsed, the puppet Great Khan was killed, and Mamai Khan, who was in power, fled and was killed by Tokhtamysh, and the Golden Horde was greatly damaged.

The Mongol expedition to Bohemia was unsuccessful, and the actual battle between the two sides was near Kłołko, Poland, in a mountain pass, which made it difficult for the Mongol vanguard to outflank them and was repulsed by the Bohemian cavalry.

Probably at the same time, the Mongols also reconnoitred a large mountainous area west of Poland, so they turned south to attack Hungary.

From the perspective of later generations, the Mongol army was not so successful in terms of strategy.

From Genghis Khan's southward march in 1211 to the fall of the Jin Dynasty in 1234, it took 23 years for the Mongols to take the north.

In fact, judging from historical experience, it is entirely possible that the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao, the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty destroyed the Great Shun.

A careful look at the records of the Mengjin War shows that there are countless examples of Genghis Khan being blocked under the city, so although he won many battles in the early days of the war, there was not much territory that was actually conquered, and it was not until Mu Huali began to adopt the policy of appeasing the scholars of the Central Plains that the Mongol army ate the north little by little.

There are several cities in the north, and they really have to fight hard one by one, and I don't know what year or month they will be fought.

Therefore, the Mongol army's habitual massacres may have been more effective in places like West Asia and Eastern Europe, because the local population was relatively small, and there was not much resistance left after a few massacres.

It is estimated that it is precisely for this reason that Kublai Khan attaches great importance to appeasement, and the battle to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty can be said to be the traditional mode of the Central Plains Dynasty to force the defenders of the cities to surrender as much as possible.

Because he was an expert in cavalry tactics, even without the help of the Baojun Cavalry Regiment and Cao Wenzhao's subordinates today, the Mongols would not suffer much under Jiannu.

The worst result, that is, the loss of 20,000 or 30,000 people, there is a high probability that they will be able to retreat to the edge of the Great Wall in the area of Xifengkou.

Now with the help of the Baojun Cavalry Regiment and Cao Wenzhao's department, the war situation will actually be more favorable to the Inner Khalkhas.

Cao Wenzhao, who was famous in a war, was a little depressed, because he used more than 300 cavalry to block the attack of more than 1,000 Jiannu iron cavalry, but Jiannu retreated after fighting for a while, and they all went in the direction of the Baojun cavalry regiment.
