Chapter 204: Infantry VS Cavalry

The sharp axe stayed an inch or so above Alexander's neck, and finally did not fall. A generation of Jay Alexander, also successfully avoided the tragic end of being in a different place.

"Tell me, how can this formation be eaten by cavalry?" Jing Er pushed away the forbidden troops who surrounded him, walked up to Alexander, who was held down, and leaned over and asked.

"A king must not insult another king, but you must not insult your character if you speak to me like this?" Alexander stubbornly raised his head and stared at Jing Er and asked. It has been a long time since he came to Daqin, and Alexander learned the Chinese language with his extraordinary talent. Naturally, I also understood the way the Great Qin nobles behaved. To his surprise, the Great Qin nobles behaved in a striking manner similar to the Macedonian aristocracy.

"Bold ......!" Meng Wu raised his leg and gave Alexander a kick, Alexander was so painful that his head broke out in a cold sweat, but he didn't moan and still looked at Jing Er stubbornly.

"Kind of interesting, you mean you're a king?" Jing Er stretched out his hand to organize Meng Wu to continue beating Alexander, leaned over and asked.

"I am Alexander the King of Macedon, and you should treat me according to the etiquette of the nobles."

"You are the king of Macedonia? The king of the Far West in Yunhou's mouth? How to prove it? Jing Er asked in surprise. There was news from the inside that Yun Yue had sent countless rangers. He gave a big reward and claimed that he wanted this guy named Alexander. He even said that he would see people alive and corpses when he died.

Although she didn't know how important this person was, Yun Yue valued this person so much. It shows that this person has a reason to be valued, just by making Yun Yue win so hard. The main army was almost crippled, which has the ability of Alexander and people to pay attention to. Jing Er immediately became interested in this ugly guy, and military affairs had always been his shortcoming. Yun Yue is invincible in six countries, and this has always been his heart disease. He urgently needed someone who could defeat Yun Yue militarily. Gongsun Long can't do it, maybe this person in front of him can.

"Take him into the big tent, uh...... Give him a change of clothes. "Alexander was still dressed in groom clothes, and his body was dirty. It also smelled of horse manure, which really didn't look like a king.

On either side of a sand table, two people stood. Jing Er, Qiandu Lu Gong and others watched the battle from the side, which is the so-called war game deduction. Yun Yue often played such games in the mansion, and after Wang Lingyi Qujun and others found out, they were cited as the treasure of the soldiers. Now, if the generals' mansions don't have this thing, they are embarrassed to tell others that they are generals when they go out.

Alexander could not come up with anything to prove his identity, and everything he had as a captive was stripped to the brim. The protection of the captive property was never in the regulations of the Pingliang Army. But Alexander naturally had his own way, and those fierce soldiers could take what was on him. But he couldn't search for what was in his head. As a result, military talent became the basis for proving his identity.

"Alexander, I don't know who you really are. But Lone gives you this chance, and if you win Yang Duan and Lone, you will admit that you are the king of Macedonia. It will give you courtesy and dignity, but if you lose. So lonely...... Have to use a head on your neck. ”

"Hahaha! Life is rare to be happy and revenge, come on! Alexander didn't talk nonsense, his eyes were already fixed on the sand table.

It's the first time he's played with this thing, and he's never seen it before. Greece has something similar, but a hundred times rougher. It's just a few things like chess pieces, and it's clear at a glance where the mountains, rivers, swamps, and plains are like this. If I had one of these things at the beginning, would I have made that mistake after deducing it?

Great Qin's general was Yang Duanhe, and his face was full of disdain. In the battles of the three eastern counties, he was also a general with outstanding achievements. If it weren't for Jing Er's order, how could he compete with a groom. It's a shame for General Daqin, but the king's order is hard to disobey today, let this guy who claims to be a king understand the power of General Daqin.

During his days in Great Qin, Alexander saw the establishment of the Qin army and the style of battle. He believed that the Qin army was similar to the Macedonian army in many places.

For example, both the Qin and Macedonian armies were dominated by infantry, and cavalry was only auxiliary. In contrast, Macedonia seems to have placed more emphasis on cavalry than the Qin army. In the Qin army, the application of cavalry only stayed at the level of reconnaissance. There is no concept of heavy cavalry, and the armor of the cavalry is shabby to the extent of rudiment.

They didn't have the iron rings called stirrups in the Pingliang army, and they still used crossbow arrows. It's not easy to wind on a horse, and it's hard to hit the target on a bumpy horse. Similarly, they were not equipped with the spears of the Pingliang army, and the short blades were only bronze swords instead of the sharp sabers of the Yun family.

Just from the equipment, you can know the difference between the two. Pingliang was a cavalry-based army, while Daqin remained a traditional continental infantry army.

The Macedonians had a phalanx, and the Qin army was actually a large army formation. In the front row, there are three rows of crossbowmen in turn, and in the back row are foot soldiers with spears. The Qin army's spear was only half as long as the Macedonians, but it was enough to laugh at the other princes.

Spear tactics proved to work well against cavalry in a charge. But if you encounter the Yun family's kind of archer who comes and goes like the wind, the end will be very miserable. The Battle of Nai Tau Shan is a good illustration of how cavalry with superior mobility can defeat a huge infantry phalanx.

And this army has one of the most significant weaknesses, that is, once the flanks collapse. A long serpent formation will collapse like dominoes, and enemy cavalry can be mobilized. Tear apart the infantry formation, then attack it from the flanks. It's like the Pingliang Army, defeating itself.

The Qin army didn't care about the flanks, and their flanks were also lined with a row of crossbowmen. However, for the cavalry that launched the charge, this row of crossbowmen was far from enough. There are only three shots in battle, which means that under the impact of cavalry, when facing the enemy, it can only shoot three arrows.

Alexander looked at the badge in his hand, and his ugly face gave Jing Er a smile that was more ugly than crying. Let this arrogant Great Qin general know today that he knows how powerful the cavalry is. Compared with the application of cavalry, Alexander boasted that he was more experienced than the Qin army.

However, Yang Duanhe is also worthy of being a new and famous general of Great Qin, and the infantry formation was arranged tightly by him. It's like a huge hedgehog, and it has a feeling that the needle can't be inserted into the water and splashed in.

"If that's the case, let's get started!" Jing Eryi waved his hand, and an invisible gunsmoke and bloody tearing began. (To be continued.) )
