Chapter 944: The Superiority of the Cavalry

After being splashed with cold water by Pang Tongyi, several people present barely regained their composure.

It's no wonder that they are out of proportion, and Li Lingzhi is dizzy, but Sun Ce is too generous. This product is not defeated, and a loser is really unrestrained. It's just that he doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, and he doesn't care about his family's foundation at all, relying on a godfather like Yuan Shu to give him a back, unscrupulous.

Ten thousand sets of new armor, if Yuan Shu does not secretly support it, let Wu Guo build it himself, even if there are a large number of craftsmen provided by Yuan Shu, I am afraid that it will not be possible to get it in two years.

However, Yuan Shu's preference for Sun Ce is well known to everyone here, otherwise not to mention Sun Ce's subordinates, even if Sun Jian brings Cheng Huang Hanzu and other teams to come together, he can only be aggrieved in front of the three in front of him.

There is no way, Yuan Shu started in Jiangdong, and those people in Dongwu have long been wiped out by him. Although they also unknowingly dug up a lot of corners of the three people present, but when the whip was out of reach, Yuan, Cao and Liu still had vitality. In contrast, Sun Ce was too shabby, and as a "compensation", Yuan Shu naturally had to provide Sun Ce with some help secretly.

"Did Shan Yu of the Northern Huns open the monarch talent just now?" has been controlling the overall situation of the trial, watching the Northern Xiongnu's offensive against Liu Beijun.

"Hmm. Due South, what did you find? Yuan Shao asked.

"Maybe the Northern Huns are much more difficult to deal with than we think!" The judge's face was slightly ugly.

From the beginning to the present, his evaluation of the Northern Huns has been growing.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is really worthy of the existence that was able to wrestle with the Han family at the beginning, and it is not unreasonable that he can still press Guishuang now.

"The cavalry that was just repelled by General Yide should be the absolute elite of the other party's best at charging, and in terms of the strength it shows, even if it is under our command, it is an absolute strong army. It was nearly twice as powerful as the ordinary Northern Hun light cavalry charge. The judge said.

Through continuous testing, the trial and match gradually found out the strength of the Northern Xiongnu under normal conditions.

In all fairness, in terms of cavalry alone, the personal strength and experience of the Northern Hun cavalry were far superior to their own. This is an irreparable innate advantage, and it is impossible to shoot arrows on horseback than the Northern Huns, who grew up on horseback and bent bows and arrows since childhood. Riding and archery are almost instinctive in these people, and sleeping on horseback is no problem.

If the weapons and equipment are the same, the same cavalry is opposite, and it is very good for your own side to be able to fight with the opponent's cavalry for casualties.

But no matter how strong the instinct and skill are, they can't bridge the gap in equipment.

Compared with the poor Northern Xiongnu, the cavalry equipment under Yuan Shao's command was already luxurious.

The wooden spear scimitar in the opponent's hand may not kill you in four or five strokes in the face of your own armor, and the sharp weapon in the hand of your own soldier is basically fatal to the weak leather armor of the Northern Huns.

Therefore, compared with the actual combat strength, if the two sides collide with each other, the casualty ratio will be reversed, and the Han cavalry and the Northern Xiongnu will open seven or three.

The same was true of the cavalry under Sun Ce, because their experience was so poor. The foundation is better than anyone else, and the cavalry training has not stopped every day since he joined the army, and the skills accumulated by countless arrows and a large amount of meat can be close to the Northern Huns, but he has experienced too few battles. Tactics, coordination and experience are too immature, and one body can only play half of its strength.

But compared with their own cavalry, the Northern Hun cavalry has another advantage in addition to numbers, that is, comprehensive.

Just these two sets of temptations are enough to see that the Northern Xiongnu have played the cavalry out, charging, harassing, covering, riding and shooting, and attacking...... Each cavalry unit has its own strengths, and the combat power exerted by mutual cooperation is extremely terrifying.

"After that moment just now, the impact intensity of all the attacking legions of the Northern Huns increased sharply, and it felt like the cavalry that General Yide had stopped before. Although it is not that strong, it has at least increased by nearly half. The judge looked at the battle on the front line and estimated slightly.

As the judge said, Chen Zhi's feeling on the front line is the most obvious.

Chen Zhi can be regarded as having experienced a hundred battles, and has also fought against many elite cavalry, even the tiger and leopard cavalry have also fought each other, although they have not won.

But in the face of such a large-scale cavalry charge, it was also the first time for him, far beyond his imagination.

Tens of thousands of iron horsemen came head-on, and although he was ready to resist with his temporary formation, he still underestimated this terror. Maybe the impact is not much stronger than the previous Su Bu Department, but with the power of ten thousand horses galloping, even Liu Beijun, who is extremely determined, can't help but be frightened.

In just one wave, hundreds of people were taken away. If it weren't for Liu Beijun, if he was replaced by Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's footmen, I am afraid that there would be a state of collapse. But Chen Zhi has no such concerns at all, maybe Liu Bei's foot soldiers are scumbags, but the willpower is definitely first-class.

Relying on huge shields and spears, Liu Beijun fought and retreated, constantly forming a new line of defense. Although the defense line was constantly crushed by the Northern Huns, relying on their tenacious will, they slowly dragged the other party again.

But just now, with Dilian's monarchical talent turned on. The Northern Xiongnu collective was like a chicken blood, and the offensive that had been gradually slowing down rose sharply.

Liu Beijun, who was caught off guard, was defeated again, and was broken through four lines of defense in a row, suffering heavy losses.

Holding a spear in his hand, a shot stabbed a Northern Hun in the throat, Chen Zhi wiped the blood on his face, looked at the soldiers around him who were constantly in trouble, and kept shouting and commanding.

"If there are no reinforcements coming, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on!"

Seeing that the formation that was just about to be stabilized was broken through again, even Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel a little helpless. The intensity of the cavalry in front of him had exceeded the limit of what he could resist.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the huge gap in numbers coupled with the fact that the cavalry has an advantage over the foot soldiers, no matter how tenacious Liu Beijun is, he can only be defeated and retreated. The scales of the battlefield began to tilt in favor of the Northern Xiongnu army.

In the face of the Han army's huge shields, hard bows and strong crossbows, the cavalry harassment of the Northern Xiongnu obviously failed to exert its effect, but the mobility advantage of the cavalry on the grassland was still undoubtedly revealed.

Tens of thousands of cavalry could easily gather quickly and storm Liu Bei's army a little. And the Han army's foot soldiers themselves are passive, and they have to worry about the overall formation defense, so the speed of support is naturally far behind.

Under the cover of the talent of the legion, the surroundings of Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and Cao Cao were still hazy, and a few arrows were shot from time to time, and I don't know how many cavalry were hidden in them. Therefore, most of the external soldiers and horses of the three parties still dare not act rashly, otherwise once the flaws are exposed, the Northern Xiongnu will definitely not miss it, and they will only be more passive at that time. Therefore, only some elites can be sent to support.

"Sure enough, in the face of cavalry on the grassland, the foot soldiers are still too passive." Judge the way.

"The advantage of mobility allows the cavalry to advance, attack, retreat and defend, and can concentrate on attacking any of our points at any time. And we are not easy to support, plus the Northern Huns still have such a difficult legion talent, I am afraid that the strength of our army will not be able to give full play to even half. ”

"But half of this strength is enough." Xun Yu said.

If it weren't for absolute self-confidence in hard power, how could they dare to do such a thing of hardening the Northern Hun cavalry on the grassland.

You must know that it is true that Li Ling fought against the Huns with 80,000 iron cavalry with 5,000 foot soldiers, but how many examples of this miracle are there in history? If it was really as easy to fight the Hun cavalry as a foot soldier, why would the nomads always be a problem for the Han people.

In addition to Li Ling's own bravery, good at generals and familiar with how to fight cavalry, the elite of Li Ling's soldiers is also indispensable.

And this time, although Yuan Shao and the other Quartet each led no more than 20,000 troops, a total of 80,000 troops, which was less than the number of Northern Hun cavalry. However, there are five army soul legions in it!
