Chapter 160: Suggestions to transcend the times! Meet the flying general Li Guang again

The war between the Han Dynasty and the Huns subconsciously thought it was the kind of well-equipped cavalry, holding spears, halberds and other weapons in their hands, and the two armies hedged each other.

pity.

In fact, this is not the case.

The nomadic peoples were good at riding and shooting, and they faced the Han army. Most of them rode horses and shot archery against the Han army.

Don't they have other weapons?

Of course, in addition to swords, there are also weapons such as spears, spears, halberds, and other weapons taken from the hands of the Han people.

That's right.

They are still using "Ge", a weapon that has long been eliminated by the Han Dynasty.

For such an army, don’t expect heavy cavalry to appear.

The Han Dynasty was located in the Central Plains.

On the battlefield in the Central Plains, most of the troops were equipped with infantry in wooden chariots.

But this kind of combat method is too bulky.

then.

In the early days of the establishment of the Han Dynasty, during the Battle of Han and Xiong, the Han people fought against the Huns, and they always felt like they had enough strength but could not use their strength.

The Han Dynasty assembled its troops and opened to the grassland.

The Hun cavalry directly turned into birds and beasts, so how did the infantry of the Han Dynasty chase after them?

It’s not the key to not being able to catch up!

The key is that if you choose to retreat, the cavalry will turn around and harass them with bows and arrows. At that time, you will not be able to run away, and you will exhaust yourself from tossing and eventually be consumed by others on the grassland.

There is no way out.

It is precisely this reason that led to the vigorous development of the horse breeding industry in the Wen and Jing dynasties.

So much so that it was the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.

This made the Han army have its own cavalry unit in dealing with the Huns.

Emperor Wu of Han’s first half of his life can be said to have spent the efforts of three generations.

But then again.

Although the Han cavalry developed, most of them were formed by the Huns.

The main force of the Huns' cavalry was the cavalry and shooting cavalry.

then.

The cavalry army of the Han Dynasty also followed suit, and the main force was also the cavalry and archery cavalry. As for the cavalry, it was completely auxiliary at this time.

main reason!

There was still no Takahashi saddle and stirrup, and they immediately fought close-range and could not fight at all.

Like the plot of the Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if there is no Takahashi saddle and stirrup, it would be completely nonsense!

Forces are mutual.

When riding a horse, there are no stirrups under your feet that can be leveraged. No matter how much force you use to hit it, you will be hit back with the same force.

With the same strength, if you knock someone to the ground, won’t you fall down?

This is why most cavalry did not have spear-like weapons during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han!

Having said that!

Without a high bridge saddle or stirrup, should we hold the reins of the horse?

Tight?

Then how can you free your hands and fight with the enemy? You are all fighting on the battlefield. You either die or you live. Who dares to hold on with one hand!

Not to be held?

When fighting, how can the horse be controlled? If you are not careful, you will be caught!

This is also the reason why the thunder cavalry was not popular since the establishment of the cavalry in the Han Dynasty.

but.

As the cavalry three-piece set gradually developed.

The terrifying combat power of the thunderous cavalry tore apart the enemy's battlefield formations, which made them completely replace the cavalry and shooting cavalry.

General Wei Qing found Huo Guang distracted, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "What are you thinking?"

Huo Guang came back to his senses and shook his head and argued: "No, the place where you sleep in the military camp is too hard, and you didn't sleep well last night!"

Hearing this.

Wei Qing's expression changed. He glanced at Huo Guang and said, "I have been to the military camp for so long, haven't adapted yet?"

"It's not that I didn't adapt, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Huo Guang smiled awkwardly.

The general was not too confused about this problem. He pointed to the sand table with his finger and said, "Okay, go back and take the sand table away. I have received my wish."

take away?

Huo Guang was stunned and said, "General, didn't you say, do you like this sand table? Why do you still want me to bring it back?"

The general shook his head and said, "What do I want the terrain of Qilian Mountain? And it's quite big, let me take up the place!"

Hearing this, Huo Guang was stunned for a while!

The terrain of the Qilian Mountains is indeed useless to the general.

But this is a sand table!

It can be reshaped, not the kind of foam-shaped mold.

After thinking about it, Huo Guang said to Wei Qing: "General, didn't you say that the entire army would arrange for the arrangement of troops to be deployed later?"

"Yes, why are you asking this?" General Wei Qing glanced at Huo Guang suspiciously.

Huo Guang said calmly: "If I want to train troops and train formations, I can pinch the sand table again and pile up the outlines around the military camp where we are now. At that time, the general can use it!"

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "Just practice placing troops and formations, you can't use the map!"

Arrange troops!

It is true that the map is not used, but Huo Guangxin thought that the sand table he had spent a few days to make was taken back like this?

That's not in vain!

Huo Guang glanced at the sand table he sent and looked at the ratio of it to the general's tent.

It really occupies a lot of space!

But if it becomes important in the eyes of the general, then it seems just right to put it in this tent.

Then the question is!

How can we make the sand table that we worked hard to make important in the eyes of General Wei Qing?

This is a problem.

While Huo Guang was thinking about this question, his eyes were staring at the two small red and blue flags on the sand table.

Red and blue

Suddenly, Huo Guang's eyes lit up and he thought of a good idea.

"Ahem, General, I have a very important suggestion about the arrangement and arrangement drill. Do you want to listen?" Huo Guang said seriously.

General Wei Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded, "Let me tell me!"

Huo Guang then said: "The traditional way of placing troops is too backward and far from actual combat. This also makes the army lose its foothold once it reaches the real battlefield."

“So my advice is!”

"The general might as well form a target army, for example, call him the Blue Army as a drill opponent."

"The formation of troops must be used to deal with the enemy."

"We regard this Blue Army as our enemy. With the enemy, the general can understand more clearly what is wrong with our army!"

Huo Guang's words directly enlightened General Wei Qing.

In the past, when training troops, I always felt that there was something missing. When Huo Guang said that, he found something missing.

But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong and asked, "But, where did I get such a blue army? I can't let me dismantle half of the army and become what you call the blue army!"

The coach's demolition of power is a taboo.

This is definitely not half of the Blues who can be used for confrontation.
