This is a song he likes very much in modern times, "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty" and "Kangxi Empire" are the two film and television dramas he loves in modern times, it can be said that he never gets tired of watching it, he likes the image of the protagonist in the play, and more than once sighs the emperor's courage and courage and the domineering spirit of success, as well as the spirit of positive and enterprising, as an emperor, to be such an emperor, to succeed bravely, to the enemy to show the sword, the courage to challenge all opponents, to trample them under their feet, the world is hard work, dare to face all dissatisfied, And finally defeat them, this is the domineering spirit of a successful emperor, but also as a man should have the courage, heroes have always been like this, these have inspired themselves to keep moving forward, referring to the ancient and modern emperors, there are diligent, excellent, martial arts, and civil governance, and their goal is precisely to be the best among them, they want to establish themselves as a generation of Emperor Guan who is better than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Kangxi, and continue to move forward for such a goal, this era is an era of heroes, It is also an era of fierce competition, and it is also an era of difficult progress, the resistance and difficulties of this era far exceed the Han Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, if you really do it to eliminate the heroes and dominate the country, then your martial arts will definitely exceed Han Wu and Kangxi, this is a lofty ideal and ambition, for such a goal he needs to keep moving forward, keep forging ahead, no matter how hard and tired you have to persevere, the season has entered early autumn at this time, so Guan Yu must rush to solve the battle before the winter, the time is only a few months, Time is tight and tasks are heavy, and it is not easy to set up three assistants in one go. However, Guan Yu has full confidence to do this, because any difficulties are not a problem in his opinion. All the way to today, he can really be said to have gone through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and he has experienced strong winds and waves, and he has taken the so-called difficulties lightly. "Cloud Chief! This is the cotton drape I specially made for you, the western climate is relatively cold, the temperature difference is very large, if it is cold, you will put on this, you must pay attention to your body when you go out, I can't take care of you with the army, you must pay attention to your body! Diao Chan said to Guan Yu affectionately.

Guan Yu looked at Diao Chan, but saw that she was still so beautiful and moving, like a hibiscus out of the water, her delicate eyes were clear and distinct. A fair and delicate cheek still has a trace of pity, it is still the kind of temperament that he loves, looking at Diao Chan Guan Yu has an indescribable feeling in his heart, he feels that the years are urging people, and the time to stay with her is really limited, and he wants to spend more time enjoying the joy of the world! But the reality of the situation made him unable to stop, he couldn't sink now, he had to continue to work hard for his ideals, and he didn't know when the road would come. The desire for ideals and the pursuit of career are inspiring, Guan Yu can only temporarily put his love on hold.

Guan Yu is going on an expedition this time, and it's an expedition. A pair of infatuated men and women are about to separate, Diao Chan has mixed feelings in her heart, maybe she is reluctant or maybe she is worried. Perhaps it was the worry that the taste of separation tormented her soul. Tears flashed on his face, this beloved man was going to travel far away. I don't know when it is the return date, as a woman, she can only silently bless her, and come to see off Diao Chan's close bodyguard is the little girl Guan Yu took in in Luoyang before, Guan Yu told her, let her protect Diao Chan and Wan'er, this little girl has a body of martial arts enough to take on this important responsibility, and readily agreed at the moment. In this way, Guan Yu arranged his wife's room, and he could go on the road with peace of mind. Now he is a man with a family and a woman, as a general, he is also a man, a husband and a father, his family is the eternal concern in his heart, and he has the bottom in his heart when his family is safe, and there is an important purpose in this expedition, that is, to take his original wife Hu Dingjin and his son Guan Ping back to Luoyang, the mother and son have been separated for more than a year since that time, I don't know what happened to them in Feng Yi, based on the consideration of their safety, Guan Yu arranged their mother and son to his sworn brother Zhang Ji in Feng Yi, and for more than a year, his mind could always see their mother and son in his spare time.

At this moment, he saw a few horses approaching from a distance, and soon ran to the front, Guan Yu fixed his eyes and saw that it was his sworn brother Liu Bei who came, Liu Bei rode a horse to Guan Yu's approach, only to see him hold the reins, dismount and bow to Guan Yu and said: "Yun Chang is going west this time and take care!" ”

After hearing this, Guan Yu arched his hand and said: "Big brother, don't worry about it, Wuji people have their own natural appearance, there is nothing to do, big brother just wait for my triumphant return!" ”

"When Yunchang returns, my brother will definitely put a table of good wine for my second brother, and wash the dust for my brother, and then our brother will rest when he gets drunk!" Liu Bei said excitedly.

Guan Yu then said: "Let's look forward to this day as soon as possible!" The two sides waved goodbye to Guan Yu's 100,000 army from Luoyang, walking in front of Guan Yu's heavy cavalry, the general men and horses of the army are equipped with armor and shields with good protective performance, and the weapons are mainly spears, which are known for their strong impact and excellent defense.

Armor has the ability to withstand a certain attack, through the speed and momentum generated by the charge to create a suppressive breakthrough in the enemy's position, the main use is to break the enemy's formation, hit the enemy's morale of the super cavalry, human tank - in the era of cold weapons, a stable formation is the basis for ensuring victory, high morale is the key to victory, once the enemy's psychological balance and organizational foundation is destroyed, it is equivalent to victory, so, heavy armored cavalry was once the most expensive, important and glorious branch of the army.

Generally speaking, the thickness, toughness, strength, and coverage area of the armor material must reach a certain level to ensure that the knight can withstand general slashing and bow killing. Sufficient thickness and area results in a huge weight, which in turn sacrifices maneuverability. The armor equipped by the heavy cavalry has become very expensive, and the heavy cavalry has relatively high requirements for the selection of war horses, equipment care, logistics and transportation, etc., so it is really a kind of "money-burning" troops. The armor is sturdy, the whole body is completely covered, and even the eyes are completely protected, and this equipment is obviously not conducive to hand-to-hand combat - the eye field is small, and it is basically limited to the front. This mode of manufacture reflects from one side the way heavily armored cavalry is used on the battlefield - charge, turn around and charge again, but never stop hand-to-hand combat!

The heavy cavalry built by Guan Yu not only had armor, but even the war horses were all draped, and a cavalry was like a tall statue of the god of war, and when they advanced, it was like a steel city wall pressing on them. The armor of the heavy armored cavalry is very heavy, and the armor of the heavy armored cavalry is basically an extension of the ordinary draped armor, but it can still stand on its own. The horses of the heavily armored cavalry were used only for battle, and they relied on servants and other horses for ordinary marching and carrying other combat and living equipment.

The knights of the heavily armored cavalry themselves were also used only in battle. Because this type of army is extremely expensive, a soldier is equivalent to more than ten infantry or three or four ordinary cavalry, heavy armored cavalry is generally not armored when marching, on the one hand, the knight himself can't stand it, on the other hand, he tries to cherish the war horse, so as to be able to get the best effect when charging, but also to be able to have enough horsepower to escape back after the charge. From this point of view, the heavily armored cavalry was almost impossible to run, and lacked reaction time for sudden encounters.

Running with heavily armored cavalry has certain natural limitations in terms of distance and terrain - you can't run fast, otherwise the war horse will be finished; It can't be too far, otherwise the man and the horse will die of exhaustion; The time must not be too long, otherwise the cavalry, which is simply impossible to bring more food, will soon lose their combat effectiveness with hunger and thirst; You can't go up mountain roads, into wetlands, into deserts, into forests, or attack fortresses...... What else can you do? With only a sneak attack, they always need to slowly draped up, slowly get on their horses, and slowly line up - note that due to the too much momentum, it is difficult to brake in time, and the heavily armored cavalry without a good formation will have a serious trampling of each other. If they attacked while they were still on the march, they would have to flee lightly with their followers, which would have played the role of unorganized light cavalry, and would be more chaotic than ordinary light cavalry.

The heavily armored cavalry is a very monolithic class at all, and it is vulnerable except for the brilliance of the charge. Therefore, in addition to its own servants who act as infantry and light cavalry, the heavy armored cavalry also needs a considerable number of other arms to cooperate, and basically cannot independently complete a comprehensive combat mission -- such as a campaign. They drove the other units to quickly set up an outer ring of spears and shields (some of which were giant shields 3 meters high carried by carts) and an inner circle of baggage carts, and held the positions with archers and spears (heavy infantry) to withstand the first wave of enemy harassment. Then, it began to slowly armor, get on the horse, and line up. At this time, a large number of light cavalry must constantly make contact attacks on the enemy, or at least feign attacks, otherwise if the enemy calmly arranges his own defense system, such as tripping horses, antler thorns and horse rejection pits, it will cause unnecessary heavy losses to the heavy armored cavalry. When everything is ready, the reconnaissance general has to make a clear judgment of what position is conducive to the charge - not all enemy positions can be attacked, well-prepared, calm soldiers, with enough spears and crossbows, already looking to be moved, with strong wooden fences, and also heavily armored cavalry...... In the end, the heavy armored cavalry had to storm the enemy's weak part, and a weak part of the entire position was crushed, and the enemy's end was approaching. (To be continued......)
