Section 1072 Bloody Battle (3)

However, the cavalry of the headquarters and the cavalry of the non-headquarters are armies of two worlds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Han family is divided into county soldiers and field corps.

The Xiongnu also had a division and a non-headquarters.

The field corps of the Han family is a notch stronger than the county soldiers?

In the same way, the elite of the Huns' headquarters is more than one grade stronger than the non-headquarters.

After the Battle of Mayi, with the spies and envoys of the Han family, they went deep into the hinterland of the Xiongnu to conduct reconnaissance.

The information of the Xiongnu was continuously transmitted back to China.

So much so that in the martial arts, there is a special course to introduce the clans of the Xiongnu headquarters.

Because the Subu clan has been in the north of the Makuku for a long time, the Han family knows less.

But through the observation and understanding of the life of the cavalry of the Munan royal family.

So that the Han army can also know the daily life of Xu Bu, Hu Yan and Lan.

The headquarters of the Xiongnu, especially the cavalry of the four major clans, basically will no longer participate in grazing.

Every one of them was a slave owner.

There are dozens of slaves under his command, and there are more than a dozen slaves.

In addition, the Huns selected troops from among the towns.

One fell, one soldier.

It may seem like it may be mixed with crooked melons, cracked dates, or waste.

Not really!

The Xiongnu respected and respected the strong and agreed with the concept of the jungle.

In the Xiongnu, non-big nobles, ordinary clan leaders would be abandoned as soon as they became old.

Let them go to the forest to fend for themselves.

This is true even if the person has a large group of children.

Even in ancient times, the Huns, even the shamans and the leaders of the tribes, once they were old, no one cared about them.

Back then, when the old Shangshan was in the time, the Han and Hun polemics, and they did not take the Huns to satirize and attack them.

At that time, the Huns were still dead ducks with hard mouths, so that the Bank of China came forward to refute similar claims.

But after all, it was also said by the Han family that some faces couldn't hang up, so the old Shangshan was in the era, and the Huns began to pay attention to raising and taking care of the elderly.

Today, those Xiongnu nobles who retire in Longcheng have to thank the Han-Hungarian polemics of that year.

Otherwise, they would have been abandoned by the Huns themselves long ago.

You can imagine that in such an environment, even the Xiongnu headquarters will be abandoned when even the parents are old and have no ability to work.

Will they allow those who are not strong enough to own livestock and pastures, slaves?

The weak are the original sin!

If you're not strong enough, you can't defend your pastures and livestock.

Moreover, the headquarters cavalry of the Xiongnu has been trained all year round.

The vast steppes and the mountains of the Hexi Corridor provided the best training places for the Hun cavalry.

In order to sharpen the cavalry of the tribe, the Huns would even deliberately spare some Ding Lingren, Qiang and Xiaoyue people.

Let them be a whetstone for young people.

It is no exaggeration to say that every adult Hun cavalry has rich combat experience, superb riding skills, and a strong body.

The cavalry of the headquarters, both in terms of diet and nutrition, were far from being comparable to other tribes.

Imagine a soldier in a city, and this person is usually the master of the city.

Everything in the town, livestock, slaves, women, was his private property.

The rest of the members need to rely on him to survive.

Is it possible that such a person can't eat well?

The meal is big fish and meat, which may be excessive.

But every once in a while, it is certain that you can eat meat and eat enough at every meal!

Therefore, the Hun cavalry that is not the headquarters cannot be compared with the cavalry of the headquarters at all.

Compared with the headquarters, the cavalry of these miscellaneous tribes are simply rubbish like chickens and dogs!

Not to mention, the headquarters of the Xiongnu has always firmly controlled the 36 countries of the Western Regions.

In the past, there was a Wusun who could take advantage of the Huns' inattention and steal the contents of their bowls.

Now that Wusun is dead, the resources and wealth of the Western Regions, as well as human and material resources, are all owned by the Xiongnu.

No matter how abolished the countries of the Western Regions are, they are also kingdoms.

Where there is a kingdom, there is naturally a civilization.

Even if it is an insignificant light of civilization.

Judging from the current understanding and intelligence of the Han family, at least five or six kingdoms in the Western Regions have mastered bronze smelting technology and have a complete farming system.

Although their level should probably be similar to that of China in the late Spring and Autumn period.

But, since even stones and sticks can kill.

Bronze can naturally kill people too.

And as the Hun cavalry got closer and closer, the Han army also clearly saw their appearance.

These cavalrymen, all wearing bronze helmets, rode horses, and held a bronze collar in their hands, ready to throw their hands at any time.

What's more - stirrups, saddles!

"All ready!" Cheng An, the commander of the Bashang Army, raised his hand: "Check the hand crossbow!" ”

So, the Han army pulled out the crossbow from his waist and checked it one last time.

The hand crossbow of the Han army, during the battle with Ma Yi, basically did not change.

Bronze is still used as the main material.

It's not that I don't want to use iron, but at present, iron is not suitable as a raw material for hand crossbows.

Compared with iron, which has just begun to flourish, ancient bronze has been played to the point of peak by Chinese craftsmen and craftsmen.

For the performance and texture of bronze, the Han civilization has long been clear.

What's more, bronze is cheap! Ingredients are easier to obtain!

The various retired bronze weapons of the Han family and the eliminated bronze farm tools alone were enough to provide enough raw materials for the crossbow machines of the Han army.

After inspecting the crossbows, the soldiers hung these precious crossbows on their waists or legs.

Then the soldiers drew their sabers.

A saber with a sharp cold light suddenly reflected the eyes of the Hun cavalry on the opposite side.

What kind of combat is standard cavalry combat for cavalry?

Riding and shooting? Can you shoot people?

Not to mention, the cavalry moving at high speed has infinitely low shooting accuracy.

You may shoot a hundred arrows, but you may not be able to kill an enemy!

Loite? That's even more of a joke.

Against infantry, cavalry can use the method of guerrilla.

Anyway, the infantry against the cavalry, the heavy infantry in front, the crossbowmen in the back, in a circle.

However, if they are all cavalry, this is useless.

Even, the other party may just watch you jump around.

When your horse is tired, rush down with a drum.

At that point, you'll be ****.

Therefore, the real way of fighting between cavalrymen has been hedging since ancient times.

The two armies cross, the winner lives, and the loser dies!

This was the most brutal and romantic way of fighting among the cavalry.

But, in general, such romances are rarely staged.

Because, the nature of the cavalry determines that two hostile cavalry generally do not face each other directly.

For cavalry, if you can drag the enemy to death and exhaust the enemy, then why risk a decisive battle with the enemy?

Drag it, pull it, maybe the other party will show flaws.
