Gao Yuan said with a smile: "In addition to the Linchong Lu bus, the other chariots are too small, and the accuracy of the fire oil bombs is not high, and these chariots themselves also have a certain fire resistance, and they can move, so they need a large number of fire oil bombs to be fired together to achieve the effect of destroying a chariot, but according to General Yuan, the Qin army's chariots are no less than hundreds, and although there are a lot of fire oil bombs and special crossbows we carry, it is not enough to destroy all the chariots, even if only half of them are destroyed, Then the remaining half of the tank is still beyond our reach. ”

When Li Yinghong heard this, he was also a little discouraged, and said, "What should I do then?" Immediately from the hung plug to tune. ”

Gao Yuan said: "It will take at least ten days to transfer from Hongshang, and the Qin army will attack us again within three days at most, so it is simply too late." ”

Li Yinghong was also a little annoyed, and said: "I knew that this was the case, when we sent troops, we should have brought more." ”

At this time, Chunyu Zhongxiu smiled and said: "Madam, don't worry, I think Wu Anjun has already made up his mind." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Actually, fire attack is not bad, and it is also a way to deal with chariots, but I think the biggest weakness of these chariots is not the fear of fire, but the wheels, so when fighting with these chariots in close combat, the attack should focus on the wheels, as long as the wheels are destroyed, even without destroying all the wheels of the chariots, as long as the wheels of each chariot are destroyed one or two, the movement ability of the chariot is basically wasted, and the ability to move is lost, and the power of these chariots is actually not much left." ”

Everyone nodded again and again, because the chariot is still the mainstream weapon in this era, and they all know that the most vulnerable part of the chariot is the part of the wheel, and it is also the most vulnerable place, and the whole life of a horse chariot has to replace ten wheels, sometimes even twenty, and it is very simple to deal with the wheels, smash it with a heavy hammer and a giant axe, or use a spear to insert it between the supporting wood of the wheel, you can destroy the wheel, and the wheel is destroyed, and the chariot is actually the same as the general bed crossbow, Trebuchets are no different, so attacking the wheels is of course the best way to deal with chariots. And many people have also given birth to their hearts, how come I didn't think of this?

In fact, this is really not the sharp eye of the plateau, because he knows that the biggest weakness of the tank known as the king of land warfare in later generations is its track, if there is no same tank armored vehicle, and a single soldier to deal with the tank armored vehicle, then it is best to attack the tank track, so the plateau naturally thought of the wheel.

Gao Yuan said: "In addition to the wheels, these chariots also have a weakness, that is, although these chariots can move on their own, they are still far inferior to the cavalry in terms of flexibility and speed, and our strongest is the cavalry, so in the battle with the Qin army, we still have to give full play to the characteristics of the cavalry's flexibility and mobility." ”

Ling Feng said: "But that was before, now the Qin army also has cavalry, and there are also warriors of the Kuafu clan, the first battle of General Yuan Xuan, wasn't the cavalry defeated by the warriors of the Kuafu clan?" ”

Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "Compared with us, there is still a certain gap between the cavalry of the Qin army and us, and the first defeat of General Yuan Xuan, in addition to the sudden appearance of the soldiers of the Kuafu clan in the Qin army, there is also a major mistake, that is, at the beginning of the battle, the cavalry was used to launch an impact attack on the Qin army, so that the cavalry lost the greatest advantage of flexibility and speed. If he used infantry, fought head-on with the Qin army, and used cavalry to detour back to the weak and rear of the Qin army, and launch harassment and raids, even if it was still possible to lose this battle in the end, he would not lose so badly. ”

In this era, all countries began to form cavalry on a large scale, but because the time was not long, and the horse pedal and double high bridge saddle have not yet appeared, so the cavalry is still in the initial stage, and the tactics of the cavalry are not perfect, they are all in the process of exploring, and although the army is the first to change to the new style of horse furniture, but the use of the cavalry, there is still a lack of sufficient experience.

Generally speaking, the cavalry is divided into two types: heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and the heavy cavalry is usually used to make a frontal charge and strike at the enemy's array; The light cavalry is responsible for patrolling, raiding, harassing, containing, etc., of course, in some cases, the light cavalry will also be used for frontal charges, because the cavalry's striking power is still much stronger than that of the infantry army.

However, the impact and defense of the light cavalry are limited after all, as long as the infantry army is well organized in a tight formation, and is prepared with long-range weapons such as bows and arrows and large shields and spears to form a gun array, it is often the best way to deal with the impact of the light cavalry. Therefore, hoplites were later developed to deal with the onslaught of light cavalry. There is even a saying that hoplites are the nemesis of the light cavalry, and there is an important principle in cavalry tactics: if the enemy army has already laid out a neat and tight array, it must not launch a frontal attack on the enemy.

Now the cavalry of the Dai Army is basically a light cavalry army, and it is only because of the use of new horse furniture that they have achieved the upgrading of their skills, so they are dominant in this era. In the previous battles, the cavalry of the Dai army made many achievements, played a great role on the battlefield, and defeated the Qin army several times, which also made the generals of the Dai army have a blind belief in the cavalry, thinking that as long as the cavalry rushed, the enemy could rush across like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. And Yuan Xuan was also eager to win, and wanted to kill the Qin army with a stick, so he used the light cavalry army to launch a frontal charge against the Qin army at the beginning, and the Qin army happened to have a team of soldiers from the Kuafu clan in the Qin army, which was a naturally suitable hoplite. Naturally, the result was a miserable defeat.

In fact, between the arms, there is no absolute restraint, only if used, the advantage of the light cavalry is that it is flexible and fast, and the mobility is strong, if the light cavalry army is allowed to attack the chariot of the Qin army, I am afraid that it will be defeated even worse, and if the characteristics of the light cavalry army can be fully played, and the tactics of detour, outflanking and harassment, and surprise attack are adopted, it will be different, that is, you fight yours, I will fight mine, and it will be disturbed to see who can give full play to their advantages. In fact, the plateau commanded the cavalry to fight, and it was very rare for the cavalry to attack the enemy head-on.

At this time, Chun Yu Zhongxiu said: "What Wu Anjun said, it is good to fight each other, but if you can't effectively restrain the chariot and block the chariot's attack in frontal combat, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete with the Qin army." Although our cavalry harassed and raided the Qin army in the flank and rear of the Qin army, and disrupted the Qin army, but on the frontal battlefield, it was defeated by the Qin army's chariot breakthrough, how should such a result be calculated? Whether we won or lost. ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "What Miss Chunyu said is good, this is the third point I want to say, in fact, it is not difficult to block the chariot, just push up a small earthen wall about two feet high on the ground, or drive some wooden stakes of the same height." Because chariot combat requires a flat terrain, otherwise the power will be greatly reduced. ”

Chun Yu Zhongxiu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at a few sketches drawn by Chun Yubo, it is true, the chassis of these chariots is not high, and it is only more than a foot high from the ground, if a two-foot-high wooden stake is inserted on the ground, it can indeed block the advance of the chariot, and there is no way to even rush the crashing car, because it is impossible to hit such a low target. Is it so simple to deal with combat vehicles?

Gao Yuan smiled, of course he understood Chun Yu Zhongxiu's sage, in fact, sometimes, the simpler the method, the more effective it is. It's just a matter of whether you can imagine it. Therefore, Gao Yuan said: "This time, we were originally two ways to attack Jingcheng and echo each other, but now Yuan Xuan's camp has been broken by the Qin army, and only Jiang Huanwu's camp is left, and it is already difficult to speak, so it is said that we should withdraw immediately." But after the Qin army wins, it will definitely take advantage of the victory to attack Jiang Huanwu's camp, if we withdraw now, the Qin army will definitely pursue later, then we will not only lose back to Hongshangsai, but also the soldiers will be greatly affected, I am afraid that even Hongshangsai will be difficult to hold, so Jiang Huanwu's camp, we must defend, only after defeating the attack of the Qin army, we can calmly withdraw the army, retreat to Hongshang, so that the morale of the army is still not lost, we can be stationed in Hongshangsai, waiting for General Sima Shang's attack on Jijing success, Again, try to march. After a pause, Gao Yuan said, "General Zhao." ”

Zhao Xuan hurriedly said: "The last will be." ”

Gao Yuan said: "You just work hard, take these drawings, immediately rush to Jiang Huanwu's camp, tell General Jiang about the situation of the Qin army, the chariots, and the way we just discussed how to deal with the Qin army's chariots, let him make arrangements immediately, you must hold the camp, you stay there to help General Jiang garrison, and I will also lead the men and horses to rush to reinforce you." ”

Zhao Xuan hurriedly said: "Yes, the last general will be honored." After finishing speaking, he gave a salute to Gao Yuan, took the drawings from Chun Yubo's hand, and then turned around and left the big tent and rushed to Jiang Huanwu's camp alone.

Gao Yuan then ordered to gather the generals of various armies to discuss the reinforcement of Jiang Huanwu.

In fact, there are not many troops in the plateau camp now, there are only eight armies in total, a total of more than 30,000 troops, after all, his men and horses are in the second line, it is impossible to have too many, although Yuan Xuan's defeated army still has nearly 10,000 people, but in a short period of time, it is difficult for this group of people to recover their combat effectiveness. However, there are quite a few cavalry troops under the plateau, including the Fan Yong Left Army, the Xiao Cavalry Army, the Wei Cavalry Army, and the Women's Army, totaling nearly 20,000 cavalry troops, including 3,000 heavy armored cavalry troops who have just been formed and have never participated in actual combat. This heavily armored cavalry army is also a trump card in the hands of the plateau.

Because before sending troops, Gao Yuan didn't know what cards Han Teng would have in his hand, so he didn't dare to easily play this card, and now that Han Teng has played two cards full of weight, Gao Yuan naturally can't be indifferent, and he has to use all the strength in his hand.
