Chapter 58: Fighting Style

Along the Taihu Lake area all the way to the south, this is Chen Xiaochu to this world, the scene of the most cavalry marching together, Zhao Ruyan is very strict with the requirements for action, in a short period of time, the seeds of civilization in the western capital city have been mobilized, almost about 6,000 cavalry troops, mighty to the south. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The defense of the western capital city was completely handed over to a strengthened person under Zhao Ruyan to be responsible, although this strengthened person could not command the clones of other civilization seeds, but Zhao Ruyan was very relieved to lead the army south, and there must be no worries about insufficient guards, "It seems that her self-confidence in going out is the same as Anne's, maybe there is a famous general like Belisarius, and she can be so calm." Chen Xiaochu looked at the back of Zhao Ruyan in front of him and thought, it is more than a famous general who can make the limited force exert several times the combat effectiveness, especially in places such as defending the city and surprise attacks.

On the other hand, because of the surrender of the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army, among the cavalry heading south, the cavalry under Chen Xiaochu became the largest number of existences, but Chen Xiaochu did not think that his army was the strongest.

As the leader of the alliance, it seems that in order to set an example, Zhao Ruyan's cavalry personally opened the way at the front, and the leader was Luo Cheng, who had the name of "cold face and cold gun", with a thousand Xuanjia cavalry under his command, majestic and domineering, which was more high-grade than the private soldiers of the Yang family under the command of Qin Lan that Chen Xiaochu had seen.

"Since it is the leader of the alliance, is it true that the cavalry is also strong?" Chen Xiaochu could see that those Xuanjia Riders were not clones, and each of them had an overflowing sense of pride on their faces, and there was a momentum of a victorious army, which required a lot of victory accumulation to form pride, and when they arrived on the battlefield, they could form an invincible aura.

"Every strong army has grown up on the corpses of countless enemy soldiers." Chen Xiaochu looked at and recalled the various characteristics of the Xuanjia Ride, and thought.

"Compared to my army, I hope to surprise them on the battlefield." Chen Xiaochu turned his head and couldn't help but look in the direction of Xiliang Army, and suddenly seemed to have found something strange, a little surprised.

"Ma Dai, what about those iron canned cavalry, they can't be left behind, why didn't you see them." Chen Xiaochu asked Ma Dai beside him.

"Tin cans?" Ma Dai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with an epiphany: "Lord, you are talking about the heavy cavalry, now is the time to hurry, those heavy equipment are all on the trailer of the horse, the lord looks over there, the cavalry in light armor in the middle of the Xiliang army is the iron can that the lord saw that day." ”

"Well, it's really a hard injury to have no common sense about some military, I hope that the enhancer won't lower my impression score." Chen Xiaochu reluctantly made a smile, and thought in his heart, sure enough, the heavy troops, whether they were cavalry or infantry, took off their equipment and marched.

Although Ma Chao looked very respectful of himself on the surface, after getting along for a few days, Chen Xiaochu vaguely understood that the other party believed in him because of Zhao Yun's existence, and he still despised himself a little in his heart.

"This is also something that can't be helped, if Ma Chao hears me ask like this here at this moment, I guess he will despise me even more." Chen Xiaochu thought helplessly in his heart.

is a little different from Ma Chao, Ma Dai is a little active and eager for himself, although Chen Xiaochu still doesn't understand what the reason is, but this is not bad for himself, although he asked some common-sense military questions, but the other party is still very patient to answer.

"By the way, Ma Dai, can you tell me how the cavalry of the Xiliang Army fought?" Since someone is willing to give them some detailed answers, it is not a shame to ask the other party directly, if you don't even know the combat methods of the army under your command, then let alone let the soldiers of the whole army return to themselves.

Seeing that Chen Xiaochu asked directly like this, Ma Dai said with a smile: "The lord must have had experience in commanding cavalry battles before, and the lord should understand some conventional things." However, different cavalry combat styles are different, and our Xiliang Army is not an ordinary conventional cavalry unit. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiaochu nodded, Ma Dai saw his shallow experience from his order to dispatch the march, in fact, these are some skills that Chen Xiaochu imitated from Liao Hua and later Zhao Yun, but for commanding the cavalry to fight, Chen Xiaochu still has some unconfidence in his heart, and suddenly recalled his battle against the Vikings in his mind, and ordered the cavalry to attack very impatiently and impulsively, but he was hit by an arrow in his mount and let himself fall off his horse, and he fell bloody, these are all lessons.

"It's not going to happen again." Chen Xiaochu thought to himself, pointed to the advancing army around him, and then said to Ma Dai, "Is there any difference between the Xiliang Army and them?" Oh, that's what you call a combat style. ”

"The combat style, that is, the strongest offensive method, there are usually three offensive methods of cavalry, weak surprise attacks, flank attacks, and central breakthroughs, and the ability of the Xiliang army is exactly what the lord has seen those iron cans, fearless breakthrough power, only three hundred heavy cavalry, even if there are ten thousand troops on the opposite side, they can directly pierce the other party and disrupt the enemy formation." When Ma Dai talked about the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army, his face revealed a confident demeanor. "In addition, in addition to the heavy cavalry, the rest of the Xiliang Army is also proficient in horse throwing, followed by cavalry shooting, and the Xiliang Army can also be said to be very effective in terms of attacking."

"I see." Chen Xiaochu nodded, the strongest is the ability to rush into battle, followed by throwing guns, followed by mounted archery, which is very different from Zhao Yun's White Horse Righteous Servants, the strongest of the White Horse Righteous Servants is mounted archery, followed by melee fighting, if you charge into battle, it is estimated that there will not be as powerful as the Xiliang Army, after all, it is not as easy to train a person who can wear such heavy equipment and maintain a balance and swing weapons on a horse.

"My lord, you must remember one thing when commanding the cavalry in battle." Ma Dai suddenly arched his hand with a solemn face, "When the lord is fighting with the allies, he must not go deep alone, when the cavalry is far inferior to the other party, it is necessary to fight with the infantry army, otherwise, no matter how good the time is, it is useless, and the cavalry without the assistance of the infantry army will suffer very heavy casualties." ”

Seeing Ma Dai suddenly say so cautiously, Chen Xiaochu responded with a firm look in his eyes: "I remember, don't worry, I won't let the brothers of the Xiliang Army face an invincible predicament, no matter how strong the heavy cavalry is, it also needs the cooperation of the infantry army, otherwise on a battlefield of 10,000 people, even if the cavalry is used to disrupt the enemy formation, but there is no infantry to follow up as an overwhelming weight for the opponent, such an attack is worthless." After all, the heavy cavalry penetrated deep into the enemy's ranks, and if they could not defeat the opponent in one go, then the brothers in the battle would have no life. ”

Hearing Chen Xiaochu say this, Ma Dai breathed a sigh of relief, he had noticed his brother's concerns very early, and after contact, Ma Dai found that this lord has a passion for marching and fighting, and he will also look at the timing, but he does not have much of an overall concept of war, and it is inevitable that his brother has some scruples about letting such a lord lead the Xiliang Army, but fortunately, this lord is not stubborn, nor is he a type of person who supports the scene, maybe he can really grow into the object of his life.

"General Zilong, what you fancy is not whether he has the talent and courage of Uncle Liu Huang, but because of other things." Ma Dai looked at Zhao Yun, who was not far away and listened to the information of the scout's report, and thought.
