armies on both sides,

After a period of marching,

Eventually, they met at the border of the northern border of the Song Kingdom, northeast of Taocheng and southwest of Sanqiu.

Day 1,

After the two sides met,

At a distance of about 20 miles, they set up camp and went down to the village. 🅼.𝓥🄾𝘿𝓣𝓦.𝘾𝙤🄼

While the soldiers were cutting down trees and building camps, Han Lin and his accompanying generals began to discuss countermeasures in the first camp tent that had been built.

This time

Due to the requirements of the system,

Han Lin needs to be in command personally.

Although it is said,

Commanding thousands of troops and horses to gallop across the field is every man's dream when he was a child.

Han Lin clearly remembered that after watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms when he was a child, or after playing the Legend of the Three Kingdoms, he always imagined that he was Zhao Yun and Guan Yu, leading thousands of troops and horses to charge into battle, and so on.

Of course

Dreams to dreams,

Han Lin would not joke with the lives of 200,000 soldiers.

In the tent,

After listening to Han Lin's request,

Wei Qing was the first to speak: "Since Your Majesty needs to be on the battlefield to command, the most direct way is to send a war letter to the Song State." ”

"If the Song army dares to fight, we will wait on the battlefield and fight in a dignified manner."

"I don't think our army has any chance of losing."

Han Xin asked rhetorically: "But what if the Song army doesn't fight?" ”

Huo Quzhi smiled contemptuously: "That's also simple, I'll lead an army each, and directly attack the Song army's camp in five ways." ”

"In the face of absolute strength, there is no need for any intrigues."

Han Lin nodded in response, "That's right!" ”

"I also feel that there is no need for any conspiracy."

"In this way, now I will issue a war letter to the Song army, and agree on a decisive battle in three days, if the Song army agrees, you will come up with a set of battle plans for me according to the situation of the field battle."

"If the Song army doesn't dare to fight, then give me a plan to attack the camp."

soon

A war letter was sent to the camp of the Song army.

At this time, Hua Yuan was still arranging the encampment of the army.

An army of 150,000 can't be crammed into one camp after all.

And the camps built will stretch for miles.

After seeing the war book, Hua Yuan's brows furrowed: "Fighting in a dignified manner? ”

"Humph!"

Hua Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "Qi Jun really thinks that his iron cavalry is invincible in the world?" ”

"It seems that it's time, let them see how powerful the Great Song Bu Renjia is!"

In the midst of the cold laughter, Hua Yuan's smile became more and more hideous.

The so-called step person A,

In fact, it was the hoplite formed by the Song State specifically to resist the impact of the heavy cavalry.

And

All the members of it are selected through layers of selection.

It can be described as the elite of the elite.

It's just that,

This army has been formed for a relatively short time.

In recent years, the Song State was specially formed in order to resist the growing threat of the Qi State.

After all, in recent years,

Qi's continuous external expansion,

The prestige of the Qi army's iron cavalry has long been famous all over the world.

If you take a closer look, the achievements of Qi in recent years.

majority

It's all about cavalry.

In particular, the cavalry led by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing was even more invincible on the battlefield.

It was precisely in order to deal with the Qi State Iron Cavalry that Hua Yuan formed a heavy iron cavalry like Buren Jia.

In fact, the war on the plains,

Most people always feel that the cavalry has an absolute advantage.

Actually, this is wrong.

First of all

Before the invention of stirrups and Takahashi saddles, cavalry was mostly a long-range archery class.

There is no strength to charge at all.

Because there were no stirrups and Takahashi saddles to withstand the reaction force of the charge, if the cavalry charged, they could fall off their horses before they could break through the enemy's defenses.

As for mounted archery,

For the nomads of the north,

People have lived on horseback since childhood, so for riding and archery, it is naturally commonplace, and it is considered a natural skill.

But for the farming peoples of the Central Plains,

You can only practice the day after tomorrow.

basically

As long as you can master mounted archery, you are elite.

However, with the advent of stirrups and Takahashi saddles, cavalry also gained the ability to charge.

Especially with the advent of heavy armored cavalry,

Like a torrent of steel from a land tank, I don't know how many countries have become a nightmare.

however

The heavy cavalry was not without opponents.

Their opponents were the hoplites.

The same heavily armed hoplites, and professionally trained, can basically declare victory in the face of cavalry charges on the battlefield, as long as they can keep their spirits upbeat and resist the first wave of charges.

Kinetic energy = one-half of the square of the mass X velocity of the object

EK=(mv^2)/2

People and horses, and when they are still wearing heavy armor, you can imagine what kind of weight they have.

If the speed is up, the huge impact force is almost a torrent of steel.

This is after the appearance of stirrups and Takahashi saddles,

The reason why the heavy cavalry was able to become, the ace army
