Chapter 251: Beginning of Negotiations 7
readx;?“ At present, most of the human empire claims to be the strongest class of troops are still heavy cavalry. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the heavy cavalry regiment proved this with the blood of the enemy on numerous frontal battles. Of course, the investment required by the heavy cavalry corps is very staggering, and it is impossible to keep it in large quantities. But the Empire's biggest annual military spenders are still these money-eating cavalry, right? Your Majesty the 50th Honorable Sheng Hui? ”
Whether it is the City of Life Library or the Brilliant City Academy Reading Library, there are many introductions to the human heavy cavalry army. As long as this information is analyzed to a certain extent, it is easy to understand the position occupied by the heavy cavalry in the military headquarters of the major human empires. Not to mention the four major human empires, even the small kingdoms of human beings will try to cultivate their own heavy cavalry units as long as conditions permit.
"Yes. The 4 major human empires claim to be the most elite armies, and the arms are all heavy cavalry. For example, although most of the knights in the legion can only be regarded as light cavalry, the most powerful main force is still a heavy cavalry formation centered on 10,000 people. The rest of the light cavalry can only be regarded as an average elite class. The composition of the Mokasa Empire's Slaughter Cavalry, the Kagro Empire's Mountain Dragoons, and the Eisen Empire's Snow Bear Cavalry Regiment are all similar to my Wolf Cavalry Regiment. ”
As a wise king, mastering the composition of the military forces of each country is the most basic lesson. When Sheng Hui heard Drew's words, he subconsciously agreed with Drew's point of view. Even the orcs nodded in agreement with Drew's words.
"However, I have learned from some strange sources that the heavy cavalry is actually a very vulnerable class. With some targeted preparation, the heavy cavalry will become a living target. ”
"What...... What the? That's impossible! ”
"Nonsense!"
"Don't make a fuss! There is absolutely no basis for this! ”
"For tens of thousands of years, the most powerful troops of their human race have been heavy cavalry!"
……
Well, as Drew said such a sentence, the whole cabin exploded. Whether it was the humans on the side of the Shenghui Empire or the orcs on the side of the Orc Empire, they all seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, and directly jumped out to oppose this point of view in front of Drew.
Among them, the reaction of the three orcs was the most intense. As the biggest victims of the human heavy cavalry, they have the greatest rights, the most experience, and the most examples of actual combat to oppose what Drew said. In every great battle between the human race and the orcs, the number of orcs who died directly at the hands of the human heavy cavalry was at least 300,000. Even according to the minimum standard of the number of casualties of the Orc Empire in each major war, at least 2.5 million people, the number of 300,000 is quite scary.
"Okay, let's not get excited, let's listen to a few of my points before commenting."
"First of all, there is a very important phrase in the view that I saw, which is 'shoot the man before the horse'. The meaning of this sentence can be understood as long as the cavalry's mounts are eliminated, the cavalry's combat effectiveness will be reduced to the minimum standard. And we are talking about heavy cavalry, unlike the light cavalry that can come down and continue fighting without a war horse, the heavy cavalry without a war horse can only be regarded as a steel target on the battlefield. ”
"It is very difficult to deal with heavy cavalry, but there are many ways to deal with mounts. Feeding some laxatives and estrus can make most mounts lose their combat effectiveness for a considerable period of time; Digging a certain number of tripping pits in front of one's own position before the battle can also effectively stop the charge of the heavy cavalry; If the Heavy Cavalry Regiment is not equipped with some targeted priests or mages, the entire Heavy Cavalry Regiment can be abolished with a few Dread spells; Putting a little mud, earthen wall, or ice on the feet of the charging heavy cavalry can also deal terrible damage to the heavy cavalry; A sudden dragon threat to the charging heavy cavalry corps will also make most of the heavy cavalry corps stagger! In addition to these methods, I think there are many more that can be found if a few people want to do something with the mount. ”
"And what about riders? We can do a lot of things too. For example, suddenly add acceleration magic to all riders; Suddenly give all riders a weighted force spell; Blinding and deaf riders in the front row for a short period of time; Repeatedly overlay cavalry with fire and ice magic, etc. There are so many things I can deduce alone, if you don't believe a few of them, you can give them a try. ”
Every time Drew said a method against the heavy cavalry, the faces of the personnel on the Shenghui Empire's side would darken, and the personnel on the Orc Empire's side would look better. It wasn't until Drew finished saying that the Shenghui Empire was no different from a funeral home, and the Orc Empire almost started dancing in place. Both sides were not fools, but the most shrewd group of people in the world of Fit, and after hearing Drew's reminder, countless plans for the heavy cavalry flashed in their hearts in an instant. Camog Grey wouldn't even tell the Radiant Empire that he had memorized all of Drew's plans, and planned to study them with the generals when he returned to the Orc Empire.
In Drew's previous world, although many countries also regarded heavy cavalry as the most elite class, for Drew's country, which has turned war into art, it rarely regards heavy cavalry as the main branch. Aside from the staggering investment factor, what hindered the development of heavy cavalry in Drew's previous country was the ever-endless variety of targeted means.
Fire, noises, tripping pits, tripping ropes, horses, poison gas or smoke, crossbows, some targeted weapons and even targeted troops, these are all kinds of tricks that compress the space for heavy cavalry to play in Drew's country to the extreme! The most important thing is that the resources used to use these targeted means are often far less than the resources occupied by the heavy cavalry that these means can take out! Throughout the history of warfare for at least 2,000 years, there are really few heavy cavalry regiments that have left a great name in the history books.
What's more, since a certain great hero used light cavalry to form a great empire, heavy cavalry has completely faded out of the generals' cognition. The lassoes of the light cavalry, the cavalry archery of the art class, the terrifying mobility, and the free, changeable and ruthless charging skills have thrown the heavy cavalry into the dustbin of history with the record of the world's largest empire. The light cavalry, which is not very valued in the world of Fit, is almost called the heavy cavalry auxiliary class, which is the top corps in the Cold Weapon Age of Drew's previous life!
Unlike Drew's previous life, there are all kinds of magic in the world of Fit, so light cavalry without heavy demonic armor does look less powerful than heavy cavalry with strong magical protection. However, in the eyes of Drew, who has knowledge of the two worlds, this is only a superficial phenomenon, and it is the military strategists of the world of Fitt who have failed to make good use of the characteristics of light cavalry.
In other words, even in Drew's previous world, if it weren't for that hero, the light cavalry would not have become the first class of troops in the Cold Weapon Era.
One of the most special things about light cavalry compared to other classes is its mobility. Whether it is in terms of movement speed, movement endurance, or the ability to temporarily change formations on the battlefield, it far surpasses any other class. The heavy cavalry could only eat dust behind the ass of the light cavalry, and the infantry could only be defeated by the gradual encroachment of the light cavalry. Even the heavy infantry corps, which claims to be the most restrained by the light cavalry, is bullied in front of a beautiful woman who turns into a stripped naked woman in front of one of the two major weapons that can best use the advantages of the high mobility of the light cavalry - the lasso.
According to Drew's previous life, in the case of sufficient supplies, the light cavalry has not fought other arms, but it is only because they have not found the right way to break the formation, and it cannot be said that the light cavalry is too weak. As long as the light cavalry has the advantage of cavalry, archery, lasso, and the ability to charge, all classes will be dragged down by this mobile class. Unless the place of operation is a mountainous area and other special terrain that light cavalry cannot play.
Even in the world of Fit, with its fighting spirit and magic, Drew seems that as long as he uses it in the right way, the power of the light cavalry will impress all military strategists.
First of all, the most threatening means of attack for the light cavalry, whether it is a fighting slash, arrows, magic, or magic, require a certain number of aiming steps.
Under normal circumstances, the Fighting Slash or an arrow can only fly according to the trajectory at the time of issuance, so it is necessary to aim in advance. Magic or magic requires mental power to guide, so even if it is sent, it can continue to be calibrated to a certain extent. Therefore, no matter what kind of long-range attack method it is, it will often reduce the power of the target by a considerable degree in the face of a moving target. It is only because with the improvement of strength, eyesight, reflexes, experience and other factors can completely make up for this problem, so the weakness of long-range attack capabilities against high-speed moving targets has not been fully presented.
Second, and very important. The world of Fett has a large number of auxiliary magic and auxiliary magic skills, which can be blessed by the light cavalry!
In Drew's opinion, as long as the hussars were brushed with all the auxiliary magic and auxiliary magic that existed in the world of Fett regarding speed, stamina, and shooting, the terrifying cavalry regiment that came and went without a trace, erratic, and sharp attack, and had no way to effectively counterattack it, would be born. This kind of light cavalry can ride and shoot at a distance that most of the marksmen cannot counterattack, and with the blessing of cavalry inertia, the light cavalry will completely form a crush in the firing distance; Only when the light cavalry shoots at least 3 waves of arrows can the mages in the army start to perform magical counterattacks, after all, mages often have chanting time, but at this time the light cavalry can run out of the range of magic radiation; Heavy cavalry and heavy infantry can only be teased by this light cavalry, as long as the rider plays the lasso, then these are the classes that are dragged by horses and experience a painful death.
When Drew told the results of his analysis to everyone in the wooden house, the Shenghui Empire let go of his mentality. Their basic military literacy is very good, and after hearing Drew's analysis and calculating the feasibility in their hearts, they directly raised the importance of light cavalry in their hearts to the same level as heavy cavalry. The two Evil Wolf Counts were even more eager to try, and they couldn't wait to run back to the Evil Wolf Territory as soon as possible to have a good try.
It's just that at this time, the orc empire smiled bitterly. It's not that the Orc Empire doesn't have light cavalry, but because of some special races, the number of light cavalry is much higher than that of the Human Empire, reaching several times. But unfortunately, the number of mages and priests in the Orc Empire is really not comparable to the number of priests on the human side, so although they have begun to agree with Drew's opinion, they are troubled by the idea that it is difficult for them to organize a strong light cavalry army.
After looking at the orc chief who was staring at him with slightly resentful eyes, Drew smiled awkwardly, and then sorted out his mentality to face Sheng Hui 50.
"The plan I provided to you is around the light cavalry, I wonder if you have any ideas for listening to it?"
