The moment Oswin retracted the battle line and prepared to retreat, Zhang Liao felt the difference in the situation. Although he could not see the overall situation clearly because he was in the middle of the battlefield, Zhang Liao vaguely felt that the opportunity had come and it was time to go all out.
.
"General Zhao, attack with all your strength!" Zhang Liao led the wolf cavalry to cut out from the side and greeted Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun did not have Zhang Liao's outrageous battlefield judgment ability, Zhao Yun's intuition also vaguely reminded Zhao Yun that Gui
The frost seems to be running away.
Although trusting one's intuition too much can sometimes lead to miserable defeats, with his strong basic combat power, Zhao Yun can still be confident that even if his intuition makes a mistake.
"No problem." Zhao Yun replied loudly, pointed his bright silver gun forward and walked away, ready for Kushan to retreat at any time. His soldiers regrouped, and he used his extraordinary level of internal energy to penetrate all the soldiers, and then performed a short attack.
Time violently crushes.
Oswin's face was gloomy, but he didn't panic much. The situations he had seen before were much more difficult than this, and now this situation was just a matter of sprinkling water.
"Urdu!" Oswin ordered loudly, "Regardless of dividing the troops, lead the headquarters to the front!"
There was no need for Altay to take special command. Oswin understood the configuration of the battle line when he retreated. Although he was somewhat disappointed, thinking about how smoothly he could retreat during the retreat, Oswin had no dissatisfaction.
"Received!" Urdu commanded an entire cavalry department to attack Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun directly from the reserved passage. At the same time, Salman and Lebrali also brought the elite troops that Altay had arranged early.
The soldiers began to carry out the orders after the break.
Unlike the last time he faced Zhao Yun, Ur directly gave up the duel this time. Anyone who has faced Zhao Yun once knows that this young man who does not look fierce is really not someone that ordinary generals can compete with.
It's easy for a collision to kill someone.
Therefore, Urdu's tactics for this wave are very clear, which is to directly clash with Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's headquarters with a large front formation. Even when facing the shield guards, Urdu's elite cavalry did not dodge and directly collided head-on.
Originally, such a formation would only result in a head-on collision that would make it difficult for the cavalry to continue to charge forward. However, back then, Gachori had actually given the correct response when he charged into the shield guard front line, which was to charge with the cavalry while using cloud energy.
Solid road paving.
Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and the shield guards behind them led by Xu Ding and others did not expect that Urdu would attack so violently, so much so that when facing Urdu directly, they were even forced to hold back the charge, while Guan Yu in the rear had his eyes narrowed.
Hey, Guishang finally found a solution to the problem.
Yes, it is true that shield guards are very strong, and among conventional infantry, shield guards are almost unsolvable. However, shield guards have a fatal weakness: they are expensive.
Of course, for this reason, Chen Xi usually used it to mock Rome and Kushan who wanted to copy the shield guards. After all, there was no such thing as technological blockade in the war years. As long as there was a fight, there would definitely be technology leaks. Kushan had a lot of technology.
They all came from the Han Dynasty for free. Of course, the Han Dynasty also got many technologies from the Kushan.
Therefore, ordinary level technical barriers are completely useless in the battle of empires. Your technology is good, but if I see it, you may see me using it on the battlefield next time!
It's different if it's valuable. Doesn't Kushan want to copy the shield guard?
I think, in terms of reality, basically both Rome and Kushan realized that the best way to truly face a large-scale universal shield front is to turn themselves into shield guards.
In this regard, Rome can barely advance like this. After all, Rome can still make up some output by relying on Celtic slaves. It is a bit expensive, but it is just a matter of heartache. Kuishang is different. Kushan
It really can't be done.
Even if the social division of labor subordinate to Nangui could be re-functioned, Kushan would not be able to do it.
Adaptive talents are outrageous, but they are not unbreakable, especially for the Roman Caesars. Adaptive talents only require a little effort, but the technical barriers have never been in talents, but in production capacity and materials.
Just like China's aero engines, the technical barrier is not the design ideas or technical ideas of the aero engines, but the materials science.
If you can solve the problem of materials science, in many cases you can just force the bricks to fly.
Kuishang was in the same situation when facing the shield guards.
But just because it is expensive, there is another solution.
Other infantry are not worthy of a direct charge by the cavalry. The high cost of the shield guards is worth the cost of the cavalry.
But before that, this had always been a blind spot. Only Gacholi had done it, and no other Kushan generals had ever tried it.
"Guishang has found a plan to crack the shield guard." Fazheng said with a hint of embarrassment.
"The plan to crack the shield guard?" Liu Bei raised his eyebrows and asked with some confusion.
"For Kushan, the output of steel is limited, but the output of war horses is still tens of thousands every year, and even if the situation is bad, it can be purchased from Rome." Fa Zheng looked forward and said, "So use the cavalry to charge the shield directly.
In terms of cost, Wei has the upper hand in Kushan."
This is a very outrageous result, but basically if a Kushan cavalry can replace a shield guard, then in terms of the battle situation, Kushan will have an advantage over the current situation.
Liu Bei opened his mouth. He had never thought that cavalry was superior in terms of value compared to shield guards, but if he thought about it carefully, there was really no problem.
"But it's too late." Guan Yu looked at the shield guard who was knocked to the ground by the cavalry led by Urdu relying on the cloud solidification road to be stepped on by the subsequent cavalry. He vomited blood and got up with an indifferent expression.
said.
"Yeah, it's too late." Fazheng nodded and said.
If it were mainly shield guards below 160, they would be directly knocked down by high-speed assault cavalry. Even if they stepped on a few feet, they would not die, but they would probably be seriously injured. However, if they were directly knocked over by 180 shield guards, they would indeed receive a huge blunt blow.
, but there is still a very long distance from death.
"Back then, Gachori was able to penetrate the shield guards of General Yu and General Sun. A large part of the reason was that Gachori's mental image strengthened the thrust, and the short-range burst speed was extremely high. Moreover, the shield guard armor at that time was not as powerful as it is now.
Modified product." Xu Shu said with a bit of sadness.
If Kushan had realized this two years earlier, the Han army might still be in a bit of a dilemma, but now it is too late. Muscle-enhancing needles, bone-enhancing needles, special composite armor for shields, wooden soft layers, etc., ordinary assault cavalry are strong
Chong is no longer able to cause fatal damage to the shield guard.
Gacholi's mental image of short-range explosive thrusts can no longer be reproduced. The cavalry breakthrough tactics that Kushan can use can only be said to be effective, but no longer have the containment effect as before.
"It's still too little money." I don't know why, but Chen Xi with a sarcastic smile appeared in Liu Bei's mind, and then he tried hard to get rid of this idea. Liu Bei continued to look at the main battle line seriously, where Guan Ping was about to
Arrived.
At the same time, Altay, who was standing on the chariot, also watched the scene where Urdu led the high-speed cavalry to cut through the shield guard front line. At the moment when he knocked over the shield guard, Altay was very excited in his heart, but facing him
There are no unnecessary expressions on it.
After all, the cavalry can knock over the shield guards with force, which means that Kushan finally has a large-scale conventional force that can be used to deal with the shield guards.
Yes, the important thing is the four words "regular arms". It's not that there are none who can beat the shield guards, but the number of shield guards is there. If the main battle elites fight the shield guards, who will fight the Han Dynasty's main battle elites?
, so there must be regular troops that can fight against shield guards.
The break this time is Altay's positioning for a new military type. This type of cavalry with concave and convex breastplates on the chests of war horses is an attempt by Altay. Relying on the size of the war horses and the self-weight brought by high-speed assault,
Hit the shield guard directly to death.
It is true that cavalry is very expensive, but the Kushans can still organize tens of thousands of cavalry every year, but they cannot afford tens of thousands of shield guards every year.
In particular, this kind of specialized cavalry will not need more armor and equipment in the future. They only need to issue a spear and hang chain armor on the chest of the war horse, and then they can directly attack the shield guards.
As for the operating personnel, Urdu currently uses elite Beigui soldiers, but after the tactics are determined, they will definitely be replaced by death soldiers. Their death camp here has never been short of people, not to mention
This looks taller than a death camp, but this is cavalry!
Even if it is a beggar's version of cavalry, it is still cavalry, and it is infinitely better than the configuration of the previous death camp!
But if you think about it carefully, Altay is actually quite depressed. The war with the Han army actually affected the cannon fodder unit, and the price has increased tenfold. It's because of their strong Kushan base, otherwise they really can't afford this level of service.
Cannon fodder unit.
Therefore, this wave of attacks by Urdu, Salman, and Lebrali is itself a test of new arms and tactics by Altay, but the results are not very good.
There is no problem for the cavalry to knock down the shield guards. Although the cavalry itself will suffer a lot of losses, the thrust speed of the war horses does not fall into a disadvantage. In addition, the straight charging route brought by the solidified road of clouds makes the cavalry unable to
It is necessary to consider the problem of fallen shield guards becoming obstacles. Overall, it can be said that it creates a pretty good battlefield for the cavalry.
But the result was not very good. The cavalry who broke through with all their strength could not hit the shield guard. It can be said that this is a very big problem.
If only a few of the knocked-over shield guards got up occasionally, Altay would not feel anything special. There were many such things on the battlefield, but the knocked-over shield guards, Altay, watched helplessly as the opponent was being knocked down.
The horse's hooves stepped on two feet. It was a war horse carrying a man, weighing seven to eight hundred pounds. As a result, after the war horse passed by, the opponent got up after bleeding a few times.
Although there is no shortage of shield guards who were knocked to death, most of the shield guards were not fatal after being knocked over in this way. The terrifying bonus brought by adaptability to blunt attacks, heavy blows, etc., when facing the charge of a war horse,
Without talent, you can default to a sledgehammer blow, and the resistance effect is very strong.
"Trouble." Altay's expression became much more cautious.
Since the new unit is positioned as a general cannon fodder legion, the strongest one must not exceed one talent. It mainly relies on the powerful impact brought by the charge of the war horse to deal with the shield guards. But it is obvious that facts have proven that if it is a beggar's cavalry
If you want to rely on the impact of the high-speed assault of war horses to deal with the shield guards, you can only say that you are overthinking.
[Is it possible to have a talent like Explosive Thrust?] Altay's scalp went numb as he thought that the current situation was very clear. Without Explosive Thrust, relying solely on high-speed assaults by war horses would not solve any problems.
But if it is coupled with a talent such as burst thrust, it may take more than a year to take shape in the case of cavalry, and more than a year to take shape of a cannon fodder legion. How universal is it? It can deal with conventional arms of shield guards on a large scale.
?
Wouldn’t that be pure nonsense?
Altay's original idea was to give the cannon fodder soldiers a war horse and train them intensively. Relying on the stirrup technology obtained from the Han Dynasty, the soldiers could control the war horse to charge in a short period of time. This time would definitely not exceed ten days.
.
Because you don’t need to learn any cavalry tactics, you just need to learn to charge, and when the time comes, you can charge directly, and any problem can be solved.
But reality gave Altay a slap in the face. The beggar’s cavalry had a high chance of being unable to break through the defense line of the shield guards. Moreover, even if they broke away, Altay’s goal would not be accomplished. It would be unrealistic to kill the shield guards.
The situation is very embarrassing.
[It seems that it can only be matched with an explosive thrust, one year at a time, at least there is a direction.] Altay comforted himself with a complex mentality, there is no way, there is nothing to say about this matter, and it will never be solved if you don't do it.
, it is difficult to do it, but it is only a matter of time.
Urdu's counterattack was finally stopped by Guan Ping. It was not that Guan Ping was any better than Zhao Yun or Zhang Liao, but that Guan Ping carried out Guan Yu's order to Mai Mang. If you are strong, I will be stronger. If you are ruthless, I will be ruthless.
It's a frontal assault.
Urdu has completed replenishing his headquarters. The combat effectiveness is indeed extremely terrifying. Coupled with his mind-dissolving power, the lethality of the Scimitar Cavalry can be said to be among the top three among the Imperial Guards. But here is the problem. When it comes to lethality, no one can
There's no way around the school swordsman.
Since Guan Yu ordered the killing, Guan Ping would naturally not be timid when executing the order. He went up hard and killed Urdu directly with the explosive lethality of the swordsman.
This is a very outrageous thing. A fully-equipped Imperial Guard, led by the legion commander, is also accompanied by four to five thousand elite cavalry. When the large legion is strangled, there is basically no possibility of being killed entirely. However, this
The scene just happened in front of everyone.
Urdu's entire legion was split in half from the front. In the middle were the shield guards who rushed in along the road opened by Guan Ping. After the center line was broken, the Urdu legion directly lost the basis for continuing to break and was divided into two parts.
