Facing the Han cavalry that rushed straight on, the Donghu cavalry didn't want to engage in battle before the war horse finished warming up.

In fact, it is not the era when the Chinese ethnic groups have lost their breeding ground, and the Hu people do not have any advantage in their understanding of horses.

If you want to talk about psychological advantages or something, in fact, the Chinese ethnic group is not afraid of the Hu people at all, on the contrary, the Hu people are generally weak in their hearts when they are against the Chinese ethnic group, and the Hu people have an advantage against the Chinese ethnic group, that is, after the Chinese ethnic group lost the breeding base, and the Liu Han regime in the "Siege of Baideng" continued to make concessions to the Xiongnu, and it took decades of forbearance to make the Hu people develop an arrogant arrogance.

After the Han cavalry went north, it was not defeated, and it swept through three counties within half a year, and there were at least 200,000 Qi troops and chaotic armed forces that were eliminated.

What does the Donghu cavalry look like? There were hardly any people with armor among them, most of them were wearing animal skins, some were wearing sheepskin jackets, and very few Donghu people were dressed in linen clothes. In fact, it must be explained that the animal skin clothes and sheepskin jackets worn by the Hu people have protective effects, especially the protection of arrows in sheepskin jackets is not lower than that of leather armor. In terms of weapons, most of the guys in the hands of the Hu people are a spear of about two meters, a small number of them are holding a bronze sword about sixty centimeters long in the Qi Yan system, and as for the horn bow, almost every Hu person will prepare one.

The steppe Hu people have never unified any clothing, even in the Mongolian period, when the steppe people were the most beautiful, the military uniforms of the steppe Hu people have always been messy. Why is that? Most of the soldiers of the Hu people were chiefs who gathered herdsmen from various tribes, which were the so-called peacetime herdsmen and wars soldiers. In addition, the Hu people's war has always been a plundering process. The soldiers of the Hu people grabbed something and thought it was good. And most importantly...... The productive forces of the Hu people have always been strictly backward, and there is no such productive force to unify the uniform clothing of the army given by the civilization with an advanced whole.

What Wei Han and other Han generals saw was that Donghu's clothes did not have any Chinese elements...... To put it simply, this group of Donghu people did not loot Huaxia Qianshou after they went south, although they were very reluctant to admit it, but the anger in their hearts for being "played" by Han Guang was finally eliminated.

"Han Guang is not bad, he knows how to restrain Donghu." A trace of hideousness flashed on Tang Jie's face: "On the other side of the Hu people (Huns), we received information that many of those damn Hu people are wearing our (civilized) clothes. ”

LΓΌ Zhe has been cultivating a kind of nationalism under his rule, which is still in a very simple "Huayi distinction", and pays special attention to cultivating the hostility of his generals to non-Chinese ethnic groups.

After the Han army entered the war, the situation was very good, and many people in the Han Kingdom took it for granted that the world must belong to them, so the land and the head of the "world" naturally belonged to them. A kind of "big-minded" thinking is born.

What kind of thinking did the Han army carry? It is "our land, our chiefs, no one can touch them except us" or "our lands, our chiefs, are destined to belong to us, so we are destined to be responsible to them".

After several years of continuous conquest of Baiyue, the officers of the Han army basically participated in the war against Baiyue under the rotation system, and Lu Zhe repeatedly emphasized that "the world is very large, but it cannot accommodate a second nation", "a piece of land can only have one nation", and so on. Therefore, their side has a cruel policy of killing and grabbing Baiyue.

Once a thought is successfully instilled, then it must be full of malice towards people who are not of its own race, and the idea of "killing them" will be uncontrollably born when you see the first flash of the alien race.

Among the current Han army, there are not many officers with deep "nationalism". So much so that when they were ordered to continue to fight north against Donghu, most of the Han officers were extremely excited.

The 2,000 Han cavalry chasing the Donghu cavalry were in an excited posture, until an officer noticed that something was wrong with the war horses under the seat, and the two commanders of the team led the team to "cool down" the cavalry. Luckily, they all got into the habit of carrying an extra horse no matter what the situation.

"Our cavalry is slowing down," Tang Jie's voice just fell, and he saw that the Donghu cavalry was making a small detour to turn around and engage in battle: "The leading officers of the Donghu people have a lot of experience. They caught the gap where our army was going to change their horses. ”

On the other hand, similar discussions are taking place in coalition camps.

Xu Xiao forced down and pointed to the 2,000 cavalry of the Han army who had completely stopped: "The cavalry of the Han people must have never met an opponent in the past engagement, and they look very pampered." ”

Chen Sheng: "......" is a person from the lowest level after all, and he can't understand what the situation is.

Han Guang had the experience of leading a single horse, and nodded: "Indeed, they chased after the horses wildly and neglected the body of the war horse under the seat. ”

There are many types of horses in the Chinese system (including the surrounding areas), and the grassland horse breed (Hequ horse) is short and not very explosive, but it is full of staying power; The Longxi horse in Qindi is a relatively tall horse breed, but it is inferior to the grassland horse in terms of staying power, and it can only be said to be average in terms of explosiveness; Yunnan horse ...... in southwest China If you don't say it, you can only be a horse envoy.

The mount sources of the cavalry of the Han army are somewhat miscellaneous, there are Hequ horse system, Longxi horse system, and now called Zhao Dima, which is actually a kind of Zhao State in history, Bai Di migrated from the Russian region of the three hippo system.

The most equipped horse breed of the Han army's cavalry was the Longxi horse, after all, the livestock trade between the Han and Qin countries has always been the largest, followed by the Hequ horse, and the three hippos are even more second. Of course, there will be surprises among different horse breeds, just like the same people will also be tall, short, fat and thin, relatively speaking, the heavy cavalry mounts of the Han army are selected to stand upright with four hooves and a height of at least two meters or more, and the weight-bearing capacity is qualified.

It has to be said that the current horse breeds are not bad compared to the horse breeds during the prevalence of "castration culture", generally four hooves are erect at a height of more than one meter six, and only some horses that are frustrated to the point of not being able to do so will be one meter two of the four hooves standing height, and this kind of horse can not become a cavalry mount at all.

Looking at the battlefield, whether it is the side of the Han army or the side of the coalition army, as long as it is a war horse used for combat, none of them is shorter than one meter six, and the height of the war horse under the seat of the Donghu cavalry who went out to fight is relatively uneven, but there will never be that kind of embarrassing picture like a modern person riding on his legs and landing on the ground.

Another point to be said is that there are obvious differences in the current race, for example, among the Chinese ethnic groups, the height of the Qin people is generally one meter eight in average, and there are not a few "husbands" of about two meters. Among the average heights of the countries, the average height of the people of Zhao and Yandi is also 1.8 meters, but the number of "husbands" above 2 meters is relatively small, and the average height of the people of Han and Wei has dropped to about 1.7 meters, and the shortest should be the Chudi people with an average height of 1.6 meters. And Baiyue is even shorter, one meter and two small people can be seen everywhere, and one meter six is considered a tall person in Baiyue. The people on the grassland are not very good, the average height of one meter five is good, but the waist circumference of the grassland Hu people is indeed relatively wide.

To be honest, Lu Zhe didn't believe that the current Huaxia clan was the tallest person in the East before he crossed over, after all, it was within his understanding...... No matter what way it comes from, it is to describe the race outside the southern region as quite burly and tall, especially the figure of the Hu people who "mythologize", and come to a "height of one zhang, waist circumference of one zhang, eyes bigger than football, and fists are like a pot lid".

Actually, it's because they have been beaten by the southward invasion of the Hu people too many times, and there is too much history of alien rule, and if there are too many failures, they must find an "excuse" to say why they can't fight, so that all kinds of inexplicable "tampering" are born.

As for why the height of the Chinese ethnic group was reduced later, it cannot be described in too much detail, and the word "fusion" can only be vaguely reminded.

At present, the Han army, which still has the advantage of everything, is worried that Donghu will seize the gap to counterattack, but there will definitely be no panic and scatter and flee.

After countless drills, the 2,000 Han cavalry who stopped and replaced their horses basically stepped on the stirrups and straddled the horses when they approached within one mile (300 meters) of Donghu.

"Don't engage in the battle first, run for a while, and take a detour!"

The cavalry that has completed the acceleration is absolutely one-sided when it fights the cavalry that does not accelerate, and the cavalry fights with speed, and the cavalry without speed cannot play the advantage of cavalry warfare, so the cavalry of the 2,000 Han army will change the war horse if there is no space to accelerate to engage in battle.

The scene was changed to the Han cavalry running, and then the Donghu cavalry was chasing. Because one side has completed the acceleration, and the other side has just changed the war horse and has not had time to adjust, the distance between the two sides is gradually narrowed in the rumbling sound of horses' hooves.

A bang sound was sounded in the queue of the Han cavalry, and the Han knights who fell behind let go of the original short soldiers in their hands, and let them fall when they were hung and shaken by the rope sleeve, and pulled out the crossbow hanging on the side of the horse's neck and twisted slightly in the sound of the bang to pull the trigger, and under the sound of breaking the air, after a while, there was a scream and neighing of the horse.

One ran and one chased, the running side shot crossbow arrows, and the chasing side was close to the range of the crossbow arrows by itself in the run, seeing that there were constantly their own cavalry falling off their horses in the chase, Qi Lianfu said strangely: "It's not so easy for us to do horse archery, the Han cavalry can still turn around and shoot arrows when they are chased, how do they train?" ”

It has to do with training, and it's more about the power of science and technology, and no one can tell them to be hidden. (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
