Chapter 46 The Bloody Killing of Yan Yun and the Mongolian Iron Cavalry
"Ding, Yan Yun's Eighteenth Cavalry blood-killing skill is activated,
Blood killing, effect 1. When the total number of Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry kills reaches 10, the force is 1; when the total number of kills reaches 100, the force is 1 again. After that, every time a hundred people are killed, the force is 1. After all this effect is activated, the force can be up to 10.
Effect 2: Significantly reduces the speed, morale, and combat power of the entire enemy army...
The third effect is that when fighting together with the general Luo Yi, Luo Yi's force is 3 and the commander is 2; the collective force of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry is 2.
Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry's blood-killing skill effect three is activated, Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry's collective strength is 2, and Yan Yi's strength rises to 93.
Yan Er's force increased to 92,
Yan San's force increased to 92,
…
Yan Shiba’s military strength increased to 92.”
"Ding, Luo Yi's force is 3, commander is 2, basic force is 98, desert silver spear is 1, black mane horse is 1, current force has been increased to 103. Basic commander is 90, current commander has been increased to 92."
"Ding, Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry Blood Killing Skill Effect 2 is activated. The current combat power, morale, speed... of the Mongolian army will be greatly reduced."
To deal with opponents like Temujin, Li Xiang naturally had to bring out sharp weapons like the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry. To be honest, Li Xiang was also shocked when he saw the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry for the first time. This Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry
There are not even 18 soldiers. With this level of force, it is enough for a low-level general.
Yan Yi, the strongest among Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry, has reached super first-class martial arts, with a basic force of just 91 points. Among the remaining 17, they are not much different from Yan Yi, and their martial arts have all reached the peak of first-class force, that is, basic force.
Reached 90.
However, the skill of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry seems to be specially developed for killing soldiers. If Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry is used on fighting generals, then this blood-killing skill will be useless.
This blood-killing skill, even if all its effects are fully stacked, will only be used by more than 900 people.
More than nine hundred people may seem like a lot, but when eighteen people work together, the average number distributed per person is not that scary.
And if all the effects of this blood-killing skill are activated, then the force of the eighteen Yanyun cavalry will all explode to a level of more than 100. With this level of force, it will naturally be easy to deal with some small soldiers.
It’s no wonder that in the original work, Luo Yi was able to take Yanyun’s Eighteen Cavalry as the vanguard, followed by thousands of cavalry, and defeated the Turks. He went deep into the grassland to pursue the Turkic Liao tribe’s garrison, killing all the tens of thousands of men, women, and children in the Turkic Liao tribe.
, leave no one behind.
However, compared to the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, the galloping Mongolian army made Li Xiang's expression become serious.
In the past, nomadic peoples, even the Southern Xiongnu with Wanyan Aguda, except for the very few specially formed elites, the others were just a ragtag group with no discipline at all.
The reason why these nomadic peoples on the grasslands could continuously pose a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty in the past was mainly due to the physical fitness of these grassland personnel and their superiority in cavalry.
But the Mongolian army in front of him made Li Xiang's eyes fixed. The movements of this Mongolian army were almost uniform. Everyone obeyed orders and was rigorous. It could be said to be worlds apart from other grassland armies that Li Xiang had seen before.
difference.
From this moment, Li Xiang knew that Temujin had begun to develop his army into the invincible Yuanmeng cavalry in original history.
The Mongolian cavalry in official history was a well-trained, disciplined, tactically flexible, wise and courageous, formidable whirlwind force in the Middle Ages. In the 13th century, Genghis Khan created a cavalry force and was maintained by his successors. The Mongolian cavalry
Without the constraints of traditional European military ideas, a magnificent empire, the Mongol Empire, was established.
They are physically strong and can adapt to the needs of combat; they can turn around and shoot enemies following them when retreating quickly; they can endure hardship and harsh climate conditions, and do not covet comfort and delicious food. What cannot be ignored is: during the training process
The strict discipline system formed made them all obey orders and be rigorous, which was unheard of in other armies in the Middle Ages.
In original history, the main component of the Mongolian army was cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry was indeed world-famous.
Generally speaking, the distinction between light and heavy cavalry is based on how they are used.
About 40% of the typical Mongolian cavalry are heavy cavalry engaged in assault operations. They are covered in armor. The armor is usually covered with leather on the inside and scale armor, pierced armor or chain mail on the outside. In the later period, a large number of chain plate armors were used.
, wearing a helmet.
In the early days, the horses ridden by Mongolian heavy cavalry were unarmored or covered with a small amount of leather armor. Some elite troops and generals were equipped with armored cavalry. Later, a large number of armored heavy cavalry appeared using full sets of metal armor.
The main weapon of the heavy cavalry is a spear. Each soldier also carries a scimitar or a mace, which is hung on the waist or placed on the saddle.
Light cavalry accounted for 60% of the Mongolian cavalry. In the early days, they generally only wore helmets and did not wear armor or leather armor. As the equipment improved, the armor of the light cavalry gradually changed into metal armor or leather armor, and even appeared in the later period.
A fully equipped cavalry archer.
The tasks of the light cavalry are to conduct reconnaissance, cover, attack from both sides, provide fire support to the heavy cavalry, intersperse and separate enemy forces, clear out remaining enemies at the end of the battle, and track and pursue fleeing enemies.
Their main weapon is a relatively modern compound bow. This compound bow is extremely powerful and requires at least 150 pounds of pulling force. The shooting distance is 4,000 to 7,000 yards. They carry two types of arrows, one is light and the arrow is small and pointed.
, used for long-range shooting, and the other is heavier, with large and wide arrows, used for close combat. Like the heavy cavalry, they have a saber or mace, or a lasso, and sometimes one with a hook on the head.
javelin or lance.
Of course, although the Mongolian cavalry in front of us is also highly disciplined, it is still far behind the Yuan-Meng cavalry more than a thousand years later.
The Yuanmeng knights in original history were all sent to schools in the Gobi Desert from the age of three or four to undergo rigorous horseback riding and archery training, so they had amazing abilities in controlling horses and using weapons.
In this world, Temujin's development time was only three years, so this was naturally impossible to achieve. Therefore, this Mongolian cavalry was naturally far inferior to the real Yuan-Meng cavalry.
However, today's scene can be regarded as a wake-up call for Li Xiang. It seems that Li Xiang will find a way to restrain Temujin's development in the future. After all, if Li Xiang's plan goes well, he and Temujin will be able to
The real neighbor is not Wanyan Aguda, but Li Xiang.
Having made up his mind, Li Xiang knew that he would try his best to block the flow between the grassland and the Central Plains in the future. The grassland resources were scarce. As long as Temujin's pig iron channels were blocked and Temujin's heavy cavalry could not be organized, then
Temujin's Mongolian cavalry was directly destroyed in half.
As for the modern crossbows used by the Yuan and Mongolian cavalry in the original history, Li Xiang was not worried. With the technology of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was impossible to create them.
