Chapter 440: Rush Forward Advance Advance Again
"I am angry." Zhao Kuo looked at the sand table and didn't go around in circles, his body was a little unbearable.
With a long sigh, Zhao Kuo continued: "These three hundred heavy armored cavalry are also the first battle today, although they won the battle, their actions are deeply disappointed by the general's expectations. β
"This?" When Li Mu and Zhou Qi heard this, they all looked at each other. Disappointed? Heavy cavalry? That's right!
These 300 heavy armored cavalry, first broke through the Hu people's village gate, and then tore the Hu people's defense line, even with the Hu people's Zuo Xian Wang and the Chinese army Daxu all fell under the horse, it can be said that today's battle, most of the credit should be credited to these 300 heavy armored cavalry.
As for the performance of the 300 heavy armored cavalry today, are you still disappointed? Of course, Zhao Kuo understood the surprise in their hearts, and immediately continued: "Although the number of this heavy armored cavalry is only a few hundred, the military cost is ten times that of ordinary soldiers. I should have high hopes for it! β
"Today's battle seems to tear apart the defense line, behead the generals and capture the flag, and the feats are impressive, but it is so capable, not to mention others, the general's personal guards can also be completed under the surprise attack, and the Qin army's sharp soldiers, Wei soldiers, and even Qi Zhi's skilled fighters can all be successful. If the general just wants an elite combat power, why bother to build this heavy armor, just choose the front! Zhao Kuo shook his head helplessly.
When Li Mu and Zhou Qi heard this, they seemed to understand Zhao Kuo's disappointment. But isn't that enough?
No matter how strong the combat power is, what can be done is nothing more than that
"Tearing up the defense line, cutting off the generals and capturing the flag" are these two things? Zhao Kuo then turned to Zhou Qi and said slowly: "You can know that in today's battle, the combat power of the three hundred heavy armored war cavalry has not even brought into play the actual combat power of one-twelfth of it. β
"The last general." Zhou Qi was a little speechless. Without waiting for Zhou Qi to answer, Zhao Kuo immediately picked up the baton at hand and began to compare on the sand table.
"Our army began to march two miles away from the enemy's camp, and when it was about five hundred paces, the war horses warmed up, and the heavy armored cavalry began to accelerate and sprint, and when they reached the door of the enemy camp, the heavy armored cavalry reached the fastest speed, and then broke into the door." Zhao Kuo traced the route of the march on the sand table while reviewing it for the two of them.
"None of this is a problem." Zhao Kuo then slashed hard in the middle of the Hu Ren camp and continued: "But who can tell me why I can catch up with the heavy cavalry in front of the Chinese military tent in the Hu Ren camp? You know, the horses of the heavy cavalry should have been faster than the other horses, and they began to accelerate two hundred paces earlier than me. Why can I still catch up with them? β
"This?" Zhou Qi was slightly stunned, and replied randomly: "It should be the headquarters of the heavy armored cavalry, in order to cooperate with the follow-up team to tear and expand the gap, which caused the horse speed to decrease." β
"Here's the problem!" Zhao Kuodang answered: "Why wait for the follow-up troops, why expand the gap, and why reduce the speed of the horse?" Li Mu also nodded and replied: "If the heavy cavalry does not slow down their horses and continue to sprint forward, they will inevitably be out of touch with the rear army." β
"What about disconnect?" Zhao Kuo immediately looked at Li Mu and asked lightly.
"Disjointed?" Li Mu frowned, what does the general mean, the danger of being out of touch, do you still need to ask? Any lieutenant knows the danger of the disconnection between the two armies!
Of course, out of trust in the general, Li Mu still replied stubbornly: "If it is out of touch, first of all, the gap opened by my heavy armored cavalry may be refilled by the enemy, and on the other hand, if the heavy armored cavalry breaks into the enemy formation alone, it is extremely easy to be besieged by a large number of enemy troops." β
"What about the siege?!" Zhao Kuo still didn't explain, but continued to ask.
"Being besieged, it is difficult for both of them to be defeated by four hands, naturally, it is naturally difficult to escape the bad luck of the annihilation of the whole army." Li Mu was obviously a little unconfident when asked, and he was a little stumbling when he even answered.
"Yes, if you are besieged, you will definitely be wiped out, this is a natural reason!" Zhao Kuo said with a slightly mocking smile: "It's just that Sima Cuo of the Qin army may not agree a little, after all, he led thousands of sharp soldiers of the Qin army to besiege my less than four hundred personal soldiers, why is he obviously the initiative of the siege, but he was killed by our army?" "The two people who heard the words were like lightning strikes, yes, who is besieging whom, is it decided by the number of troops?
That doesn't seem to be the case. But three hundred cavalry, impacting the array of 10,000 people, how can it be reassuring......
"Is it really right that you are doing it naturally, just naturally?" Zhao Kuo ignored the two who were already a little confused, but continued to ask.
"Zhou Qi." Zhao Kuo then looked at the thoughtful Zhou Qi and asked, "I have explained to you, what is the most important weapon of this heavy cavalry?" β
"Speed!" Zhou Qi replied almost without thinking. Obviously, Zhou Qi still remembered Zhao Kuo's teachings, but like many note-taking candidates, the notes were neat and full, but they couldn't do the topic.
Zhou Qi seems to be the same, although he has written down Zhao Kuo's teachings, he is unable to apply his teachings to Taoism and practice.
Fortunately, this battle was a very exciting and vivid practical lesson.
"Yes, speed!" Zhao Kuo continued: "As long as this heavy armored cavalry moves quickly, with its huge strength of hundreds of catties, who can stop it?" Even if there are thousands of people in front of you, it's just mud under your feet! The two of them who heard the words suddenly remembered the scene when the heavy armored cavalry broke through the Hu people's camp under the moonlit night today.
Under the impact of the heavily armored cavalry, the seemingly thick and sturdy gate was almost like papier-mΓ’chΓ©, and it fell with one blow.
The walled door is still like this, let alone human? Immediately, the scene of the heavy armored cavalry slamming left and right in the Hu people's camp also appeared in the minds of the two of them one by one.
It seems that as long as the heavy cavalry is willing, there is nothing that can stop their advance, not even a figure to slow it down.
Of course, if there are enough shields and guns, and the human wall is thick enough, it is not impossible to stop the rampage of this steel body.
But that obviously had to be set up in advance, and the person commanding the heavy cavalry needed to be stupid enough to be fooled.
Otherwise, a slight shift in angle will make all the arrangements useless. After all, the battle in the field is not in the city, and it is too difficult to encircle it on all sides.
And in the process of encircling you on all sides, the heavy cavalry can already find the gap and jump out of the encirclement.
It can be said that most of the time, the heavy cavalry is almost invincible on the battlefield, as long as they have enough speed.
In today's battle, the opponent obviously did not know about the existence of the heavy cavalry, let alone arranged it in advance, so there was no need to worry about being besieged at all.
It's a pity that his own heavy cavalry still follows
The old-fashioned method of "tearing the gap, expanding the gap, and advancing step by step" is carrying out this battle. Giving up the greatest advantage of the heavy cavalry and relying only on a layer of iron to fight, it is no wonder that the general will be angry.
Li Mu and Zhou Qi finally understood where Zhao Kuo's anger came from.
"Get up." Zhao Kuo nodded, but the baton in his hand was not put down, and then continued: "In this battle, the opponent is too weak, if the opponent is the Qin army, I am afraid that these three hundred heavy armored cavalry have suffered heavy losses at this time." The heavy cavalry, without speed, is just a group of armored soldiers, surrounded or besieged, and can always be strangled to death. The two of them who heard the words were immediately frightened by Zhao Kuo's words and broke out in a cold sweat.
There seemed to be a scene in front of their eyes: their heavy cavalry was besieged by the Qin army, and one after another swords slashed the armor of the war horses and warriors, although they failed to break the defense, but let the strong armor gradually dent down.
Finally, one sword after another slashed at the armor, and the armor became more and more collapsed and concave, and soon the sunken armor was embedded in the flesh, and strands of blood flowed out along the gaps in the armor, and the warriors and war horses in it had already been chopped and chopped to death.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the two looked at each other, and both confessed: "The last general will know his mistake." "It's good to know it's wrong!
finally lived up to Zhao Kuo's words. Now that you know you're wrong, it's time to tell them the right way to do it.
"As I said before, speed is where the life and combat effectiveness of the heavy cavalry lies, and there is still an obvious shortcoming." Zhao Kuo paused slightly, and then continued: "Yes, time." β
"To be exact, it should be the time for the horses and cavalry to continue fighting." Zhao Kuo added.
Li Mu and Zhou Qi naturally nodded in agreement, the armor is too heavy, and the people and horses are all carrying the weight forward, although it can't be done for a long time.
This is also the reason why Zhao Kuo immediately transferred back to the heavy armored cavalry after defeating the Hu people.
"Therefore, the use of heavy cavalry must be used in the shortest possible time, at the fastest speed, to exert the greatest effect." Zhao Kuo finally took the heavy cavalry
"Three most" and the dish out.
"Take this battle as an example!" The baton in Zhao Kuo's hand continued to wave, and said: "After breaking through the camp gate, what the heavy armored cavalry should do is not to continue to attack the Hu people's front line with a sharp arrow formation, but to quickly and strongly chisel through the front camp of the Hu people while maintaining high speed. If you encounter resistance, you should not entangle with it, let alone wait for the follow-up army, or stop for the sake of killing. β
"What should be done is this: quickly cut through the enemy's formation and approach the enemy's center." The baton in Zhao Kuo's hand swept all the way, and the tactics continued: "Similarly, in the face of the enemy's possible thick Chinese troops, what we have to do is still to chisel through, break through the Chinese army, and enter the rear camp." All in all, in a word, rush desperately, and rush again! β
"Understood?"
