Liu Tai saw Zhou Ping enter the barracks together, and said:

"Zizheng, these days, you have collected all the ideas on how to deal with cavalry among the low-level soldiers?"

"It's all collected!" Zhou Ping saluted Liu Tai and asked him to put the collected summary books in front of Liu Tai.

Zhou Ping opened his mouth and said, "After the battle with the Xianbei cavalry and the red blood cavalry, I have summarized and refined the experience of the front-line soldiers. Please take a look at the county magistrate, and each summary is supported by cases recorded in military history. ”

"Hmm!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "You say it, I watch it." ”

To tell the truth, the fact that the army is summarizing battlefield experience is really not something that Liu Tai proposed, but since the military history was dispatched to the front line, it began to record the merits of each war, and these feats were naturally known by other military histories in the process of review.

Then, what army has won what merits, some military histories will point to other armies that have won merits and say, "Who and why have they won meritorious services, I cover my face every time I go to a meeting!" Words like that.

Therefore, in addition to recording meritorious deeds, the military history is sometimes responsible for stealing the skills of other troops.

When Liu Tai learned about it, he encouraged post-war summaries, and finally gathered these post-war summaries to Zhou Ping to refine them as much as possible.

Eventually, it became a kind of learning rules that accelerated the growth of the soldiers under his command.

Zhou Ping nodded and said, "Although there are many examples, there are only three in the aggregate.

The first required the creation of defenses against the frontal onslaught of the cavalry.

Whether it is the combination of the Wugang chariot or the rejection of the horse and the iron hook, it is to reduce the frontal impact of the cavalry as much as possible.

Second, it's best to have a long-range attack at full range.

There are two most terrifying things about cavalry, one is their mobility, and the other is the impact of their real charge.

Possessing sufficient long-range means to suppress them can contain their impact on our army to the greatest extent.

As for the third point, the soldiers themselves must not waver in the face of the cavalry, and if they are afraid in their hearts and want to escape, they will really die.

Only with the intention of fighting to the death with the other party can it be possible to survive in the end.

And in this way, it is necessary to have a very high quality of the soldiers, so as to achieve foot and horse. ”

Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words and nodded, "In the final analysis, the cavalry's mobility ability is too cheap, and only riding against riding is the most correct."

But we don't have a horse farm, so we can only ride on foot.

If you fight against Wang Jun or Shi Le next time, I'm afraid you won't have the same luck as last time you dealt with Qi Hong, and you will have to fight hard, but it's hard for you! ”

Liu Tai knew very well that because his command ability gradually reached his limit, he gradually handed over the command of the battlefield to Zhou Ping and put him in charge of the command of the frontal battlefield.

And he has become more of a spiritual symbol on the battlefield to stabilize the overall morale.

Or, when there was a situation that Zhou Ping could not recover, he decisively led his own soldiers to charge, raising the morale of the entire army to the extreme, and using the military situation to recklessly penetrate everything, either through the other party, or kill himself!

"Dying for the county is what Ping wants!" Zhou Ping heard Liu Tai's words and said with a serious expression,

"Since ancient times, there is no way to ride on foot in terms of tactics, we have summarized the ideas of the fighters to solve them one by one, and implemented them step by step.

"Zizheng, tell me more!" Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words, but said with a serious expression.

Zhou Ping didn't hesitate at all, and said seriously, "After summarizing the opinions of the soldiers, my suggestion is that if we encounter cavalry, we should try our best to fight the war from an encounter to a positional battle!" ”

"Exactly?" Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words, but asked directly.

Zhou Ping said: "Actually, Ping thinks that if the scale of the frontal battlefield is larger, the role of cavalry will be smaller.

Because the army can help each other as much as possible through the cooperation between the soldiers and soldiers, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by the cavalry.

Even if the army attacks the enemy's place, even though the cavalry has the ability to travel thousands of miles a day, it will eventually need to fight obediently on the battlefield we have set!

So we need two different sets of tactics to deal with cavalry, one is a large-scale battle, and the other is a chance encounter! ”

"Let's talk about large-scale operations first!" Liu Tai thought for a moment and said, "The encounter battle will be handled by Zhao An, don't worry." ”

"In large-scale operations, in addition to normal soldiers, the most important thing is two things, one is ultra-long-range attack power, for example, General Liu's giant strong crossbow, which directly suppressed the opponent's salvo, forcing the opponent to either retreat or only charge hard.

Therefore, if you want to hit them, this weapon that suppresses them from a distance must be brought! ”

"This kind of thing is not easy to bring, you are talking about a crossbow...... Liu Tai thought about it and said, "And the crossbow arrows must be in the first row, even if it is a large-scale battlefield, this kind of thing is not easy to use!" ”

"Raise the platform at the bottom!" Zhou Ping said, "The crossbow is not easy to use, and one of the important reasons is that if there is a large-scale scuffle, the soldiers are strangled together, and the bow and crossbow will not be able to play a role at all."

But if you find a way to raise the starting point of the ballista on the battlefield and shoot condescendingly, there are few soldiers who can withstand the continuous fire of the crossbowmen.

At least when General Liu Ming dealt with the Xianbei cavalry, this tactic played very well.

The advantage of cavalry height will become their biggest disadvantage at this time!

I think we can make a fuss about this! ”

"You mean, build a platform directly on the battlefield, or even push a crossbow onto this platform and shoot from a high position?" Liu Tai was thoughtful when he heard Zhou Ping's words.

"How is it possible to build a platform on the battlefield?" Zhou Ping shook his head and said, "I mean, can you increase the height of the Wugang car, build a strong crossbow on the Wugang car, and then let the soldiers control it on it!" ”

"This kind of Wugang car is too complicated, if you want to mass produce it, I'm afraid it will not be easy, and if the soldiers want to rewind it on the chaotic battlefield, it will also become a very big trouble!" Liu Tai thought for a moment and said,

"I think it's better to build a platform directly on the battlefield and push the crossbow up, maybe it's more convenient to use.

You can even configure some special pulleys on it to speed up the dispatch of these crossbows on the platform! ”

"That'...... How to build a platform on a chaotic battlefield? Zhou Ping looked at Liu Tai, his eyes full of confusion.

"This, I'll ask Xie Fei to see if his skills can meet the standards.

After all, there are still people and ballistas on this platform, which also needs to take into account the load-bearing.

In this case, we need an engineering team that works on the battlefield......" Liu Tai couldn't help patting Zhou Ping's shoulder when he said this, and said, "This can all be imagined, Zizheng, you are really a genius!" ”

"Yes...... Is it? Zhou Ping's feeling at this moment was confused, because almost instinctively, he felt that what he said to Liu Tai and what Liu Tai said to himself were completely two things.

But Liu Tai himself knew that his praise for Zhou Ping was not just about this tactic.

However, after Zhou Ping summed up, the war began to gradually develop from the original flat war model to the three-dimensional war model.

Generally speaking, the reason why field warfare is so much easier than siege warfare is that the vast majority of encounter battles are plane battles, while siege warfare is three-dimensional warfare.

Although Zhou Ping's idea was rough, after sorting out his experience, he transformed the plane war into a three-dimensional war, and the role of the cavalry was weakened in the three-dimensional war.

In ancient China, there was actually such a tactic, Liu Yu backed the naval army, put out a moon formation, and rode on foot to defeat the enemy, to a certain extent, it was also a three-dimensional system to attack the plane system, and directly defeated the opponent.

In ancient times, there was little tactical summary of this aspect, because the ancient combat method was cold weapon combat, and a specific environment was required to appear in order to appear three-dimensional strikes.

Or ambush, or defend the city, this strike mode is hidden in the history books, at least the vast majority of battles are difficult to artificially create such a three-dimensional strike battlefield.

But Liu Tai is different, Liu Tai is from modern times, and for Liu Tai, Dongfeng Express is always the first way to strike in his mind.

Therefore, for the vast majority of generals in this era, when the eyes are still on the plane combat system, Liu Tai's thinking is three-dimensional.

Even in this era, if you want to achieve Liu Tai's tactical conditions, it is very harsh, and Liu Tai needs to take the initiative to make up for it with specific equipment.

However, when Liu Tai thought of this and made his offensive mode strive to move closer to the tactical direction of the 21 st century, that is, the advanced combat mode attacked the backward combat mode, and tactically speaking, it formed a dimensionality reduction blow to the tactical system of this era.

Seeing that Liu Tai seemed to be enlightened, Zhou Ping didn't say much, "but continued, after the long-range strike is resolved, we must solve another thing, that is, we must resist the cavalry charge."

I went to count the damage to the horses that had been repelled by the cavalry, the chains, and even the spears in the hands of the soldiers.

It was found that these were indeed good things against horse charges, but if the cavalry did not charge fatally, they would also destroy them.

Moreover, these horses are too large to ambush in advance, but if you want to take them with you on the march, it is even more difficult to quickly build them on the battlefield during war.

So, after I reviewed it, I found that our last victory actually had a lot of luck in it.

This makes me wonder if there are some ways to replace the rejection of horses and let the soldiers quickly arrange the battlefield on the battlefield! ”

"What do you think of?" When Liu Tai heard Zhou Ping's words, he asked curiously.

"A wooden giant shield that allows a group of warriors to completely abandon their armor and carry a two-handed giant shield that is large enough to cover their entire body!" ZHOU Pingdao,

"The giant shield can be embedded in the land, and at the same time, it can be supported by a spear, and it can be embedded in the ground as well, forming a rudimentary rejection horse at the fastest speed, so as to build a positional battle system for defense and counterattack, at least before the opponent rushes over!"

"That's a direction to consider!" Liu Tai touched his chin and said, "However, since it is embedded in the ground and wants to pull it out, it is more troublesome, so how should I move it on the battlefield?" ”

"What does the general mean by riding on foot and trying to push back?" Zhou Ping couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Liu Tai's thoughts.

"If you don't push back, sooner or later you will be killed by the cavalry!" Liu Taidao, "What you mean is that the infantry equipment needs to be lightweight and easy for the soldiers to carry, and at the same time, it needs to be weighted so that the opposing cavalry is inconvenient to break through, so as to strengthen the front!" ”

"General, do you think Xie Fei can do it?" Zhou Ping couldn't help but say when he heard Liu Tai's words.

At this moment, even Zhou Ping felt that his request was a bit excessive.

There is no way, as long as it is the equipment that the army wants, it will always be both wanted, otherwise how can military technology always be the most advanced technology of an organization!

"I don't know if Xie Fei can achieve it, but since you put it forward, how to solve it is his problem!"

Liu Tai said calmly, "It's you, if these can't be solved!" ”

"Then the only way to do this is to continue to train the soldiers and gamble with the lives of the soldiers!" Zhou Ping took a deep breath and said to Liu Tai, "I believe that even if our soldiers are afraid of cavalry, they will dare to stab a decisive shot!" ”

"I see!" Liu Tai nodded when he heard Zhou Ping's words, "I know what you mean, first strengthen the troops' training of Wugang vehicles, each infantry army is equipped with a certain number of Wugang vehicles for frontal combat."

The cavalry generally does not attack head-on, but will find the right opportunity to attack from behind or from the flank, and it is impossible for the Wugang car to dispatch from the front.

So the way you came up with to reduce the interspersed impact of the cavalry from the flanks is still very valuable.

If you want a big shield and a spear, I will ask Xie Fei to design this weapon according to your ideas, and let the soldiers try it! ”

"Xie Jungong!" Zhou Ping heard that his opinion was adopted, and he expressed great gratitude to Liu Tai.

"Keep training, it's up to you to command the front!" Liu Tai patted Zhou Ping's shoulder and encouraged.

"Obey!" Zhou Ping also replied to Liu Tai happily.

And saying goodbye to Zhou Ping, Liu Tai did not leave the school, but came to take Liu Yao's barracks.

Because after he defeated the Xianbei cavalry, the cavalry that he plundered was supplemented to Liu Yao as much as possible, so that Liu Yao could re-lead the cavalry for training.

But Liu Tai understands very well that even if Liu Yao's cavalry trains for another lifetime, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with Qi Hong's red-blooded cavalry.

The reason is very simple, Qi Hong was willing to lose the horses when he trained, but if the horses were knocked over during Liu Yao's training, he was afraid that he would be distressed and half dead.

In such a situation, how can a well-trained cavalry be trained, and in such a situation, how can it be compared to a red-blooded cavalry!

Liu Tai looked at Liu Yao's training, and finally sighed, "It seems that the hundred steels that Xie Fei made can only be used on the cavalry under the command of Liu Yao first, after all, what can fight against cavalry can only be cavalry!" ”
