Chapter 266: Most of them are not very demanding
In other words, if the foundation is laid, if you want to make yourself a little more advanced, it is actually very simple.
Most people don't need to make their ability to ride a horse very advanced, because of limited resources, making this skill a little better is a great requirement for this person, on the other hand, the requirement for a horse is also very large.
If this horse is too good, then the cost also needs to rise, this point does not need to be said, once the cost rises, then this kind of thing has a certain limit.
In fact, if an ordinary soldier or an ordinary officer can control the horse and charge in battle, as long as the horse is not afraid and does not retreat when it is critical, basically these things have been very successful.
This is also one of the reasons why there are fewer cavalry, that is, once this situation can be trained, the casualties of horses are relatively high, and if you really want to fight, the casualty rate will be higher.
You said that it is impossible to use horses to disperse the opponent's formation without losing a little of your own strength, and if there are more experienced people in the opponent's camp, you basically need to cut off the horse's hooves first.
It seems a little cruel, but this is indeed a good way, although you may still be kicked very hard, or even say that you will die, but it will also reduce the pressure on the follow-up soldiers.
Therefore, it cannot be said that there are no casualties for cavalry, but it can only be said that it has an overwhelming advantage over the infantry, and the casualty rate is not too much for ten to one.
Of course, in the case of similar numbers, in the case of similar numbers, there are too few ways for infantry to choose, even if there are some archers mixed in, there is really no way to redeem them.
Even if you put those bows and arrows at a parabolic angle, it is about 50 meters at most, and if the archers in an infantry want to form a kind of bow and arrow array, that is, there will be a steady rain of arrows within this range, which is actually unrealistic.
Of course, this kind of thing is okay if it is fully equipped, but it is indeed unrealistic.
If there is no way to achieve this rain of arrows, then fifty meters is simply a blink of an eye for cavalry, and people's impression of the horse is that it has good endurance, and what is more neglected is its speed.
The speed of his instantaneous explosion is not inferior to other animals on land, otherwise it would not exist now, that is to say, there is not much difference between animals like leopards and tigers, and if there is a gap, the gap within a range of fifty meters will not be particularly large.
In an instant, the front infantry was violently attacked when they did not react, and once the archers did not have the protection of money, they could only fight into infantry with their swords.
This is why the cavalry has a certain element of suppression of the infantry, and when fighting, it actually relies on standing in position, and if the position cannot stand, it can only blindly escape, then it can only face the situation of being slaughtered.
Whether it is in the battle between infantry and infantry, or in the competition between infantry and cavalry, these two battles need to stand still.
Why is it said that cavalry is easy to fight infantry under normal circumstances, that is, whether a new soldier or a veteran, it is impossible for an ordinary person to stand there and fight against a horse when facing cavalry.
No matter how strong a person is, he can't catch up with this kind of animal, so he can only run backwards or left and right in order to survive.
In this case, the formation is basically chaotic, and if it is chaotic, it will be like this.
That's why when facing cavalry, the heavily armored soldiers were able to stabilize their position, and with the extra effect of heavy armor, they could resist the cavalry attack in the first wave.
When the first wave of cavalry was charged, the morale of the entire army did not drop much, so when fighting positional warfare, the cavalry may not be able to completely compare with the infantry.
Of course, there are not many cases where cavalry can be used alone, that is, it generally needs to be combined with other arms, at most, when fighting guerrilla warfare, when harassing the enemy's logistics and supplies, cavalry can be used alone.
In other words, there is basically no such situation, after all, if the cavalry is surrounded by others, it is basically a situation of being slaughtered.
If you can't rush in one direction, if you can't rush out, you will be easily surrounded by others, and you will be consumed alive by others in positional battles.
If the infantry wants to face the cavalry, it must rely on the favorable terrain, and then rely on some installed equipment, so that the cavalry attack can still have a certain effect.
For example, ground thorns, such as anti-bow wood, relying on such equipment and cavalry can still fight for a lot of time, and there is still a certain amount of fighting power if you fight.
In addition to such cavalry, even like the general signal corps, there are also that kind of logistics troops, the requirements for equestrianism are not so high, at most it is to be able to give full play to the maximum strength of the horse.
When a few people came to the north of the city, it did take less than half a short time, and several people walked a little faster, and the most important thing was to take care of Bai Yunyi's emotions.
If Bai Yunyi really started riding horses in the city because he was too slow, it was indeed a thing that outweighed the losses, and it was completely unnecessary for these people.
So it was to take care of Bai Yunyi's emotions, and several people's legs and feet walked a little faster, and even a little trotting.
The main reason why the castles in the north are still relatively large is that there are many small hills in the north, and it is relatively easy to mine stones.
In addition, it is possible to use plains, so it is easier to choose a location.
Of course, not all of these cities were built by the Polar Powers, and a large part of them were built by other countries and renovated.
When there was a war or some natural disasters that caused some damage to the city, a little repair, the previous site was basically chosen in this way.
Although the country is different, but the selection of a city is basically the same conditions, if there is a natural risk, even if it is difficult to build, many objective conditions can not keep up, it will definitely choose to build in a natural risky place.
Some natural hazards can indeed stop thousands of troops.
This is a prerequisite, and without these prerequisites, the condition for building a city is to be as close as possible to the water source, so that it is easier to dig wells.
If you dig a little less than one meter of wells, it is a lot greater for the safety of people, and the deeper you dig, the easier it is for people to have some danger to their lives.
So the first condition: if you can be close to the water source, try to be as close to the water source as possible.
The next condition is that the city is as gentle as possible, and not close to some places where natural disasters are more severe, such as the bottom of the hillside.
After the great flood and mudslide, the damage to the city was relatively serious, and an open plain was built, which was more convenient for road construction and trade to and fro.
Twenty-five Castles is a typical one such city, although there are small hills around the city, but with the construction of the city and the exploitation of resources, the small hills are also decreasing little by little.
Almost all of them turned into some plains.
The surrounding area is open, close to the river, and it is also of great help to agriculture, and the rural area is generally built in a place where there is water and a city.
Whether it is the production of crops or the sale of crops, it is helpful to a certain extent, so Twenty-five Cities is a typical polar city.
It is also more convenient to establish official roads in such places, whether it is to use the previous official roads for rectification or to build some new ones yourself, it is more convenient after having such conditions.
Building bridges is not a particularly troublesome thing, the most feared is the lack of water resources, the density of the city in the west is getting smaller and smaller, and it is for this reason that the lack of water resources cannot support so many people.
A lot of the time it looks like God, and the requirements for the central polar country are relatively large, and the troops invested there are relatively small.
This vicious circle also leads to the fact that there is basically no way to build new cities over there, and basically some old cities are still continued.
After going out to the north gate, you can see the open area at a glance, except for the parents, there are some weeds.
In this way, the team generally does not need to be checked, and it can be seen at a glance that it is not a caravan but a play, because even a caravan is not so wasteful.
After a few people led the horse out of the city, Bai Yunyi finally liberated himself, just took a step out of the city, and immediately jumped directly on the horseback with a vigorous posture, so that some soldiers watching the city gate showed a burst of envious eyes.
Because this kind of action is obviously often riding, frequent cavalry is not a particularly easy thing for most soldiers, except for cavalry and communication soldiers, most soldiers have to cycle when practicing horses.
It is impossible to be able to practice riding every day, which is why these soldiers are envious.
Today, the city is still relatively busy, and the caravans are overwhelmed, but this is no longer their business.
They are now going to find an open place, and a place where there are not a lot of people, to do such a competition.
After leaving the city gate, if you don't follow the official road, you can find that there are fewer and fewer people, and most of the vehicles are even the kind of small carts of the peasants, and they still prefer to take the official road, which is smooth and easy to push.
Finally came to a relatively open place, this place Bai Yunyi is very familiar with, what Bai Yunyi often does is to come out and play if he has nothing to do, and bring his good friend Zuo Siqi.
Mo Yu seemed to remember that Bai Yunyi had said the rules, but he seemed to have forgotten what he said today, so he asked Bai Yunyi again: "Otherwise, you can talk about the rules again, as if you told me that you forgot?"
Regardless of whether he said it or not, Bai Yunyi is scratching his head now anyway, and he probably forgot about it, and then said to Mo Yu with a smile: "You say how to compare, or we will compare, whether I said it or not, or you can make new rules." ”
This made Mo Yu very happy, Mo Yu thought that there was a certain amount of research on the rules of the game like this Baiyun team, but he didn't expect it to be just casually said.
Mo Yu has always felt that he should think about how to come up with a rule that is more beneficial to him, although this seems a bit unauthentic for girls, but Mo Yu is also a person who is unwilling to admit defeat.
