Chapter 1084 It's a little late to understand
Wang Ji could dodge the fatal knife just now, but for many Youzhou soldiers, it was very difficult to dodge it.
The new style of harness makes the cavalry more flexible on horseback, if they fight alone, the Youzhou soldiers are definitely not their opponents, and even a fierce general like Wang Qi is facing a crisis of life and death, and ordinary soldiers can imagine it.
Wang Ji looked around, and now the cavalry on both sides were already entangled together, forming a situation of dogs' teeth, and more cavalry continued to pour up and join the battle.
However, this battle presented a one-sided situation from the beginning, although the cavalry of the Youzhou army was generally equipped with spears and other weapons, which was advantageous in terms of attack distance, but the Bingzhou army equipped with new horse harness was more flexible.
Long weapons have the advantages of long weapons, a large attack range, and can strike first, but also have their disadvantages, that is, the lack of variation, and poor ability to fight in close combat.
The reason why the Xiao Cavalry Battalion chose the two-handed saber as the main battle weapon is because this two-handed saber is very flexible to use, which can be stabbed, chopped and chopped, and can be held with one hand or two hands, which is extremely convenient to use.
In the process of transforming the cavalry battalion into light cavalry, it is inevitable to abandon some bulky weapons and equipment, so that the cavalry battalion will become more mobile and flexible, and faster.
Spear or saber, which one is more powerful? This is obviously a difficult question to answer, one inch is long, one inch is strong, one inch is short, and one inch is dangerous, and it can only be said that the two weapons have their own characteristics and advantages, and which one is stronger depends on whose hands they are used in.
The battle was one-sided from the start, and the cavalry was extremely agile, moving and turning on horseback, and could make all kinds of unbelievable movements, one sideways dodge, and even exaggerated to the point that the body could form a ninety-degree angle with the horse's back.
Even Wang Ji, who has experienced a hundred battles, was almost hit by the hands of ordinary Xiao cavalry, so it became more difficult for those ordinary cavalry of the Youzhou Army to dodge the attack of Xiao cavalry.
Therefore, although the collision on the entire battlefield was quite fierce, most of the people who really fell off their horses were the cavalry of Youzhou, and the contest between the two sides did not seem to be at the same level.
Wang Qi's face suddenly turned pale, originally he was full of confidence in this battle, the Xiao cavalry battalion only had 10,000 cavalry, and on his side, he brought three times the number of troops, under normal circumstances, it was enough to form a crushing momentum.
But as soon as Fang fought, Wang Ji realized that the combat effectiveness of the two sides was no longer on the same plane, and the Bingzhou army relied on advanced horse harness, which greatly improved the combat ability of the cavalry, and it is no wonder that in the battle of Bingzhou, Sima Yi's 170,000 army would be defeated, which is almost a fundamental reason.
What Wang Ji doesn't understand is that it stands to reason that these new harnesses of the Bingzhou Army appeared on the battlefield of Bingzhou, it should no longer be a secret, and Sima Jun's side can completely imitate it, even if it is too late to imitate, then at least give them a wake-up call and let them be on guard.
Although the Youzhou cavalry is indeed unable to compete with the Bingzhou cavalry, if he knows these situations in advance, Wang Ji will at least have time to make a correct response, so that he will not bump into it ignorantly and break his head.
In fact, this matter was deliberately concealed by Sima Shi, the previous Youzhou, that was the world of Biqiu Jian, how could Sima Shi reveal such an important information to his potential enemy, so although Sima Shi in Luoyang large-scale imitation of Gaoqiao saddle and bilateral stirrups, but did not reveal it to the outside at all, although Biqiu Jian fought with the Bingzhou army in Yanmen Pass, but only the infantry troops fought with him, he did not know about the new equipment of the Bingzhou cavalry.
Although after the Youzhou Incident, Wei Qian and Wang Qi got rid of Biqiu Jian and re-incorporated Youzhou into Sima's sphere of influence, but the time was quite rushed, and Sima Shi could not remember to deliberately remind Wei Qian and Wang Qi to beware of the cavalry in Bingzhou.
What's more, Cao Liang's attack on Youzhou was very sudden, whether it was Wei Qian and Wang Qi, or Sima Shi, they didn't expect Cao Liang to raid Youzhou at this time, and some important military information had not had time to exchange and share.
Obviously, the impact of this mistake on Wang Ji is very big, originally Wang Ji relied on the advantage of a wide range of soldiers and confidence that he could easily take the Xiao cavalry camp and get a good start in the first battle of Youzhou, but as soon as Fang fought, the good start became a black start, and the strength of the state army was completely beyond his imagination, and for a while, the battle situation fell into a passive situation.
The fierce battle between the two sides is still continuing, if it weren't for the Youzhou army having three times the strength, it is likely to be defeated at this time, because in terms of the ability to fight alone, the gap between the Youzhou army is too obvious, and they can only rely on the advantage of more people to reluctantly fight with the Bingzhou army.
Despite this, the situation on the entire battlefield still presented a one-sided situation, and the strong mobility of the cavalry battalion made it possible for them to advance and retreat on the battlefield with ease. As the battle progressed, more and more Youzhou soldiers died under their horses, and the situation became more and more unfavorable to the Youzhou army.
Wang Ji has always been known for his bravery, but at this time he also had to hide behind his own guards, after all, the sharp knife of the cavalry just now still made Wang Ji frightened.
Fortunately, what he encountered was just an ordinary cavalryman, if he had just encountered a more powerful general, it was very likely that it would not have been cut on his armor.
On the battlefield, life and death are sometimes only between Russia and Russia, and it is likely that it will be a blink of an eye, and this life will be explained like this.
The frightened knife made this fierce general, who had never known what he was afraid of on the battlefield of Liaodong, turned out to be timid, and even had the courage to fight with the Bingzhou cavalry again.
Wang Ji is like this, and the ordinary soldiers of the Youzhou Army are even more afraid, many robes were easily killed by the Bingzhou Army, leaving a deep shadow in their hearts, with the combat power of the Youzhou Army, it is obvious that they cannot compete with the Bingzhou Army at all, and the gap in strength also makes them lose the confidence to fight.
Seeing death as home, fearing or not being afraid of death, is usually based on the comparison of the strength of the two sides, that is to say, they have a chance to win, and they will have the idea of fighting, and no one wants to fight in a battle that really has no chance of winning.
