Chapter 912: Untitled
"Bang la la" All the armor weapons in the big package on Yun Ting's back were poured down, he looked at the people who were waiting, and nodded slightly.
"The armor and weapons have basically been repaired, and as for those that can't be repaired, they have been replaced with new ones." He said, gesturing to the armor and weapons that were revealing from the package.
In the past few days, he has not done anything, the only thing he is doing is almost two things, waiting, waiting for these equipment to be repaired, and the second thing is waiting for Lu Bu's reply.
Unfortunately, it turned out that Yun Ting thought that there was still a good chance to recruit Lu Bu, but he didn't get a reply until he went to Taoyuan Village and brought back the previously damaged weapons and armor that had been handed over to the blacksmith and tailor. There will probably be no reply, Yun Ting thought to himself, otherwise, with Lu Bu's character and his urgency, he would have been able to get a reply very early.
He already had a faint uneasiness, after all, Lu Bu was also a key part of this. Ding Yuan's death, the most direct impact is that the number of troops that Dong Zhuo can control in his hands has greatly increased, and at the same time, there is one less person who can fight against Dong Zhuo. Ding Yuan is not important, what matters is the army he brought, that is the most important thing.
Although the kind of Taishou outside Luoyang City who received He Jin's order and came to kill the Ten Standing Servants now have an army, in fact, Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan are the largest. Ding Yuan brought six thousand cavalry, which was already a huge force.
If you want to form a cavalry, you need money, all kinds of equipment, and the most expensive is the war horse. War horses are not only something that can be bought with money, but also a good source of horses.
The channel of the war horse is controlled by the government, and this is a strategic armament resource, which cannot be interfered with by others. In the later dynasties, the reason why there was no large-scale cavalry, and a sufficiently large cavalry team, was completely caused by the loss of control of the Hexi Corridor and those horse-producing and horse-breeding lands.
Otherwise, in terms of cavalry, the cavalry of the Han Dynasty and even the ancestors of the Hun cavalry, many of the tactical applications were completely learned from the Han Dynasty cavalry when the Huns were beaten again and again. After all, cavalry is not just riding a horse is called cavalry, equipment is also a factor of strength, plus the physical fitness is not bad, discipline training, can make the Han Dynasty cavalry in the face of the Xiongnu horse nation, can still be a hanging five, six.
This is not Yunting nonsense, it is true, the original cavalry of the Han Dynasty was all saved, and they couldn't beat the Xiongnu when there was no cavalry? No, it's just that the Huns, because of their horses, can come and go like the wind, freely interspersed with the battlefield, and the infantry can't catch up.
Otherwise, many battles were fought with infantry against cavalry, and they were won in the end. At that time, the cavalry system of the Han Dynasty could only be said to be used as a rapid reaction force, and it was used at the most critical time, and the most important thing was the infantry to win the victory.
The cavalry is definitely not invincible, and the dynasties of the later empire basically have a history of being humiliated by foreign races, all because of the decay of their own dynasties. Otherwise, are the Empire the five scum of war? Apparently not.
In the most ancient era of the first kings, the civilization of the empire was born in the collision with those barbaric civilizations again and again, and there were the corpses of unknown alien civilizations lying at the feet. If it was the five scum of war, it would have been completely strangled in the most barbaric and most powerful era, and there would be no later China, let alone China, and there would be no current empire.
The reason why I said this is because whether it is Ding Yuan's Bingzhou Army or Dong Zhuo's Liangzhou Army, they are the best in the current army and belong to that group of elite border troops.
Why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion cause so much harm in the first place, enveloping the power of annexing the world? Where was it hit, and where was it captured? Its suddenness has a certain effect, and the more critical thing is that the local material preparation is not good, and those local defending forces have not experienced war for I don't know how many years, and if they suddenly encounter a battle, this weakness will soon be revealed.
Changed to the places where the border army is located, such as Liangzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Jiaozhou, these places, the Yellow Turban Army all belong to the kind of people who are hanged and beaten, and they can't make much splash at all. These places belong to the war against foreign races, and the important areas around the Eastern Han Dynasty to defend some foreign races, there is no shortage of war, so the quality of the soldiers here is the highest.
Not to mention that they are vast and sparsely populated, and not to mention how much strength the Yellow Turban Army has invested in such border states, these are meaningless. With the well-trained border army, even if the Yellow Turban Army cannot be defeated in the field, it can still make the Yellow Turban Army helpless in the defense of the city.
Not to mention, in the Yellow Turban Army, more than half of the soldiers belong to that kind of homeless people, who kneel against the wind and waves, and will only show extraordinary combat effectiveness in grabbing things, and can only follow the trend in real battles. Once a strong army breaks into it when they are defenseless, almost the Yellow Turban Army is defeated, because of the large number of people, once it is defeated and defeated, the most backbone group of soldiers who really believe in the Yellow Sky will have no way to recover the decline.
It's useless to have a warlord, no matter how fast the butcher's knife is, it can't be faster than the speed of those surging deserters. The real army is uncontrollable, and when every soldier only thinks about escaping, there is no one who can stop this great panic from spreading, and those raging deserters, basically whoever stands in front of them, will be trampled into flesh.
People's herd mentality is undoubtedly revealed in the war of the cold weapon age, and it can determine the victory or defeat of a battle. When one person feels scared and retreats, this emotion will be transmitted to the people who see this scene, and if there are new people in these people who hesitate, it will be transmitted to the next group of people, and eventually affect a group of soldiers.
Almost every rout is produced in this way. Including when he thought that the boss was killed, even if the boss was still alive, I was afraid that he would have no way to do it if he wanted to prove that he was still alive. Because in that chaotic situation, not only could his voice not travel far, but no one would pay attention to whether their manager was still alive.
When someone runs away next to him, he will naturally run backwards as well, and it is not only a talent that only those animals have. However, on the battlefield, this kind of talent is hated by many commanders, because once it is generated, the entire army is bound to be uncontrollable.
In every army, there is the most elite, the backbone of an army, the group of soldiers who are the backbone. These soldiers are the main force in a battle, but even if they want to fight when everyone is running towards him, it is impossible to continue fighting.
In a river that has been flowing backwards, it is extremely difficult to sail against the current, let alone the tide. Those red-eyed defeated soldiers, in order to survive, in order to escape from the battlefield, no matter whether they are in front of them or not, as long as they stand in their way, they will not hesitate to attack.
The armies of several major border armies, just exactly, can do this kind of thing of winning more with less, because they have experienced too many battles, so many that they have been blown up by them in the face of those alien races. It is not a good thing for such an army to appear in Luoyang City, because there is no army in Luoyang City that can fight them!
The current Yulinwei is no longer the Yulinwei of the Western Han Dynasty, and the duty of guarding the palace has kept them away from the battlefield for too long. And the Xiyuan Army, the army formed when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was there, although it was well-trained, it didn't actually experience much battle.
The army of those Taishou is not much different, basically the soldiers in the army who came here belong to the kind of soldiers who have seen blood. After all, those cities, if they hadn't survived the Yellow Turban Rebellion, would have become dead cities by now. If they stand up to the side, they will naturally win, and these armies also have combat effectiveness, but they are still too far behind the border armies.
A two-war allows a person to become a qualified soldier at most, and if he wants to become a real soldier, it will take a long time, and many battles can make a soldier truly transform from the inside out.
This is not the later army training, there are also a variety of actual combat exercises, simulated battles can make the soldiers fully prepared before the real war happens, but even so, these trained soldiers, when they experience the real battlefield, there will be all kinds of problems.
In comparison, the selection and training methods in the era of cold weapons are very straightforward. A soldier, from basic training to throwing on the battlefield, as long as he can survive, he is a soldier. If you live a little longer, in addition to luck, it basically depends on strength.
It's so crisp, it's simple, it's almost brutal, but the effect is also excellent. After all, when a person is facing death, as long as he does not die once, the whole person will undergo an incredible transformation, and he will have the explosive power in the face of death.
As long as you don't want to die, if you want to survive, you will naturally become a warrior on the battlefield
In these dynasties of the Imperial Era, there was never a shortage of such warriors, there was never a shortage of elite armies, and the only thing that was lacking was the ass of the emperor who sat in the highest position. Some emperors have their heads and buttocks not much different, and they just think with their buttocks.
Almost except for the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Dynasties, many of the following dynasties have been ravaged by foreign races, and in the end, the foreign races have been unified, and this legendary nation can be succumbed to in the face of Chiyou.
I have to say, this is really a kind of irony.
