Chapter 1835 Don’t think about it, if you think too much, give it for nothing (plus more)
Wen County.
Within Sima''s Wubao.
The discussion about hussars is not over yet.
Some cities are similar to passes, which cannot be passed without breaking the city, while some cities are just like a big fortress, which is convenient for controlling surrounding farming. Wen County belongs to the latter.
『Lang''er, why don''t you take two carts of grain and grass and send them to Wen County...'' Sima Fang said slowly, with some drooping eyelids, but there was a kind of brilliance.
Sima Lang was a little puzzled and said, "Why? Didn''t you just hand in the recruitment a few days ago? 』Wang Tu’s soldiers wanted to eat and drink, so naturally they had to recruit local big families, and the Sima family was of course not exempt.
Sima Fang laughed hoarsely, and said: "Hehe, you might as well tell me how powerful it is at that time... No matter whether the hussars succeed or fail, Captain Wang will not be able to escape the crime of fear of war... If you are in a hurry, It can’t be said that the army has caused disasters to the countryside…”
Letting an unknown Wang Tu come to Wen County, in fact, Cao Cao himself may not have any good intentions.
To Cao Cao, Wen County is like a chicken rib.
After all, if the Heluo area cannot be fully controlled, it is obviously too close to Hangu and Luoyang, not as deep as Shanyang, so the one who was dispatched to Wen County was such a little-known Wang Tu.
Wang Tu is like an early warning chess piece. It is placed here in Wen County. Even if it is lost, it doesn''t matter much. The "loss" is here, but when they really met the hussars, they just stood firm on the city wall, and they still didn''t do anything when they saw the hussars go around. This is contrary to the original intention of sending Wang Tu over. , so Sima Fang said that Wang Tu would be convicted.
Sima Fang asked Sima Lang to go to Wang Tu to express his so-called "goodwill". Naturally, it was not purely to please Wang Tu, or to have a relationship with Cao Cao, but if he had nowhere to go, he would probably jump over the wall in a hurry, so it is better to give some sweetness in advance , at least make the dog feel less anxious...
Even when necessary, some follow-up methods can be used.
Passing Sima Fang''s point, Sima Lang understood, answered immediately, and went to prepare.
Sima Fang sat in the hall, meditating, without moving for a long time, like a statue.
In fact, Sima Fang''s worries are not limited to this. He is also thinking about the future of the Sima family if this incident continues to develop.
Although General Hussars has made a lot of bets, Sima Fang still feels that he cannot put all his wealth on Hussars, but now...
Cao Cao is obviously a little wary here, and even treats Wen County as an abandoned son, which makes Sima Fang feel a little chilled, and even thinks that Cao Cao is nothing more than that...
Therefore, the battle of Hussar General, which seems to be just a battle between two people, is actually related to the changes in the whole world!
Sima Fang stood up, walked to the front of the hall with his cane, watched the changing clouds in the sky, and couldn''t help sighing in a low voice: "There are hussars in front, and there are hussars behind, and the wind and clouds move, all for one person The one who moves the world, hey...」
…╭(￣▽￣““)…
At this moment, not only Sima Fang, but also Cao Cao were the ones who sighed. Not only sighs, but also uncontrollable anger and uneasiness of being disrupted.
Xiahouyuan in the middle lane played without authorization!
It would be fine if he won, but it happened...
『This white general! 』Cao Cao couldn''t bear it anymore, and cursed out loud.
Turn the time backward a little bit to see what happened in Chenliu County...
Xia Houyuan got his wish and went straight to Luoyang with his troops, preparing for a pre-war fire reconnaissance.
At the very beginning, Xia Houyuan was full of confidence, thinking that the hussars would repeat the old tricks, and set up an ambush waiting for him to take the bait, so Xia Houyuan even thought about what kind of words he would say if such a situation really happened. Hit the opponent''s morale and boost your own spirit.
But Xia Houyuan never imagined that since the first contact with the battle, the whole battle direction has completely deviated from his original idea...
It was Zhao Yun who faced Xia Houyuan.
On a relatively open terrain like Heluo, large-scale troop mobilization is often easily detected by distant scouts when the weather is clear and the field of vision is clear. I didn''t feel so surprised, but I was a little excited. I shouted and rushed forward with my subordinates, and didn''t even stop to organize the queue!
This is rush!
Give the first round of blows before the opponent completes the team, and then expand the advantage of the strike until the opponent is defeated. This battle mode was summed up by Xia Houyuan himself, and it was very practical and achieved good results when the north and the south were fighting these days, so it was naturally used in front of Zhao Yun.
However, this time, Xia Houyuan met Zhao Yun.
Whether it is Yanzhou or Yuzhou, in fact, most people have never had the opportunity to ride a horse since they were young. They are not as good at riding as people in counties and counties near Hudi.
In history, Cao Cao''s tiger and leopard rider chased Liu Bei''s **** for a while, although the momentum was fierce, but after all, they couldn''t keep Liu Bei''s footsteps, right?
Therefore, innately, the cavalry recruited in Yanzhou and Yuzhou are inferior to the cavalry in Yongzhou and Bingzhou. At the same time, not only in terms of software, but also in terms of hardware, Cao Cao''s current cavalry is much inferior to that of General Hussars.
Especially the stirrups, saddle horse feet, the three treasures of cavalry, hussars and horses are basically all equipped, but on Cao Cao''s side, there are still many people who use soft stirrups, and even unilateral stirrups.
Stirrups can be said to be an epoch-making invention in the history of cavalry development, but it does not mean that there is no way to fight without stirrups, and there is even no large-scale cavalry combat. In the pre-Qin period, chariots were still the main mobile strike force. At that time, the so-called "Chouqi" auxiliary operations had already been formed. There are also many records of early large-scale cavalry battles abroad...
The second misunderstanding is that only hard stirrups are stirrups, that is, metal or wooden structures, but in fact, the Hu people used leather ropes to help mount and dismount very early, and they almost fell in love with the Huns. The Han people who have killed each other for hundreds of years, don''t they learn anything?
Obviously unlikely. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, soft stirrups should be a kind of standing equipment for cavalry. As for why they did not appear in the tombs, it is mostly because the rope and leather cannot withstand the ravages of time like metal...
The third misunderstanding is that the stirrups are very useful to the generals, so that after the generals are equipped with stirrups, their force will increase by leaps and bounds, like a tiger with wings, but in fact they benefit from these equipment. The biggest one was not the general who was already skilled in riding, but the ordinary soldiers.
To use an analogy, stirrups, saddles, etc. can add ten points to riding skills, or twenty points. , the top ones are even close to 100, plus these, the gain is only about 15%, or even less. For example, for Lu Bu, whether he has stirrups or not has little impact on him, but if a riding skill is originally Not good, ordinary cavalry with only 30 to 40 stats, with these equipments, can immediately increase their riding skills by 50%!
Zhao Yun, who often fought encounters with the barbarians in the north, how could he be afraid of Xia Houyuan''s tactics? Even for Zhao Yun, such a fighting mode is the most common!
Fighting against the Xianbei people, what time is there to wait for what to line up? Isn''t it all automatic adjustments during the confrontation, and the two sides rush to kill when they meet?
So, when Xia Houyuan looked at his subordinates, he always felt that they were pretty good, but when he really fought against the hussars, he suddenly realized that the gap was very large.
The first to widen the gap is riding and shooting.
In many Three Kingdoms games, perhaps only Baima Yicong can ride and shoot, but in fact, most cavalry can do this, just saying whether it is accurate or not.
According to the requirements of the Cao Jun Cavalry Code, a qualified cavalryman must complete a shot within three leaps of the horse. That is, when the horse''s four hooves vacated for the first time, the bow and arrow were set, the bow was half-opened and ready for the second volley, and the third time it was shot. And so on and on.
It sounds long and slow, but in fact the speed of the galloping horse is very fast, so this standard is quite high.
However, what Xia Houyuan encountered was the cavalry of General Hussars...
The arrows thrown by Cao Jun’s cavalry were sparse and inconsistent, like the bifurcations of a middle-aged man’s urine. They couldn’t gather together even though they tried their best. They were obviously shot out, one on the left and one on the right. The hussars were shot. First, the armor of the hussars was quite good. Second, the scattered arrows could not give the cavalry enough braking force, so that even if some hussars were slightly injured, they could still follow the original plan. Formation sprint.
On the other hand, the arrows shot by the hussars are quite different. The uniform rain of arrows is not only powerful, but also has a considerable braking effect on the cavalry. Imagine running in the midst of hailstorms in the summer, being hit head-on by the hailstones with **** noses, bruises and swollen faces, and a large number of them hitting you...
Therefore, Xia Houyuan''s cavalry suffered a disadvantage at the beginning of the fight.
If you want to talk about the backbone of the Cao army, it is naturally the Qingzhou soldiers, but the problem is that the Qingzhou soldiers are all naked, uh, without horses, so these cavalry cavalry of the Cao Army are actually better than the Qingzhou soldiers in terms of courage and momentum on the battlefield. It was one quarter away, and the high-ranking people in the weekdays also looked down on ordinary infantry. They were so arrogant and arrogant when they were suddenly hit by such a blow, and they were a little confused, which caused the cavalry in front to be somewhat afraid and did not dare to let go. The speed, and the cavalry behind did not know what happened, but they still urged their horses forward desperately, and the entire formation was a little out of shape.
Xia Houyuan immediately regretted it, and felt that he was reckless, but at this moment, even if he regretted it, it was too late...
If it was an ordinary general, he might not be so sensitive to Xia Houyuan''s troops going out of shape, but Xia Houyuan met Zhao Yun. How could it be possible for a general who was used to fighting barbarians who were so skilled in riding that they could sleep on their horses not to notice the difference in riding skills of Xia Houyuan, a cavalryman?
The horses were like the wind, and the spears were like a forest. After exchanging a few times of arrow rain, the two sides collided directly like two running hedgehogs!
The sound of gold and iron knocking resounded all over the field immediately, and the screams and screams became more and more dense. The cavalry under Xia Houyuan also wore armor, but most of them used hard leather armor for the convenience of riding, and the hard leather armor has a very narrow protection range, only the front chest, and the arms and legs are still exposed. Second, what? The defense is also weak. It may be difficult to shoot through the arrows from a hundred steps away. If you shoot directly or projected within a hundred steps, there is a high possibility of penetrating through the armor. It was impossible to guard against it, so when they encountered hussars, they suffered a second loss.
And this loss is also fatal.
Because after all, it is people who fight on the battlefield, regardless of individual differences, one thing is the same, that is, when injured, the body will instinctively produce a "stiffness" effect. In the body, most of them will deform their movements under pain, or even fall off the horse directly.
On the battlefield, everyone knows that the more complete the array is, the stronger the combat power will be. Once the array is scattered, leading to separate battles, the combat power will plummet...
Although the two sides collided head-on, Xiahouyuan''s cavalry, who were suppressed in terms of riding skills, equipment, and even tactics, were like fruits that ripen in autumn. When the wind blows casually, they will jump from horse to horse. Falling down on the back, and then disappearing into the smoke and dust rising from the galloping horseshoes!
Just such a contact, most of Xiahouyuan''s cavalry in front collapsed directly!
『Outward! go out! 』
Xia Houyuan''s complexion turned pale after all, and he had to change the original plan, trying to order his subordinates to deflect the direction and get out of Zhao Yun''s incomparably sharp edge!
When cavalry fight, if both sides grab the inside, they will collide with each other in the end, forming a huge machine that grinds each other''s meat. If they both choose the outside, they will collide once, then separate, go around, and then choose the next one. Hit or flee.
And when one side chooses the inner side and the other side chooses the outer side, as in the current situation, the one who chooses the outer side will expose his flank, and Zhao Yun will cut off a large piece of flesh and blood!
Xia Houyuan suddenly regretted a little, thinking that his action this time was a mistake, but Xia Houyuan did not take this opportunity to leave the battle immediately, but felt that since Cao Chun was following behind, he only had to hold Zhao Yun back and wait for Cao Chun to lead him. After the people come, they can still defeat Zhao Yun, and even save face, so that they won''t lose people in vain...
