A huge empire and a prosperous dynasty, whose expanded territory was not determined by the brave soldiers and intelligent counselors, but by the butts of these slow horses...

The shortcomings in the bucket may be considered a cliché in later generations, but not many people can really solve the shortcomings in a targeted manner.

Even Cao Xiu knew where his shortcomings were, but he was still helpless and unable to change.

Among his troops, many were ordinary Cao's soldiers.

Of course, Cao Xiu could also use his own troops as the pioneer in Zhuguanxing, and rushed to Wenxi first, allowing these subsequent troops to leave slowly, but Cao Xiu's troops were not infinite, nor would they be injured if steel bars and iron bones were not injured...

After the last battle at Zhuguanxing, although Cao Xiu's troops were supplemented to a certain extent, the newly added soldiers and the original veterans were much worse, both in terms of combat skills and mutual cooperation.

Under such circumstances, if Cao Xiu rushed to Wenxi, he might be on the way and his troops would be dismembered automatically...

"General, if we encounter cavalrymen in the wild," Cao Xiu's guard looked around with some anxiety, especially the Emei Ridge earth plateau in the distance, as if a team of cavalry would fly down from the earth plateau at any time, 'Our formation is probably...what should we do?"

After leaving the ambush, the soldiers of the Cao army seemed to feel naked. At any time, they would fall into the bushes by the Cavalry that rushed out of nowhere. They were filled with fear and nervousness. If there was a slight movement, they would scream a lot, and then they would often confirm that they were false alarms.

This state made Cao Xiu and Cao Xiu's elite guards directly under him very worried.

Because these veterans who have been on the battlefield many times know in their hearts that if the psychological problems of the soldiers are not solved, if these ordinary Cao army soldiers really fight with the cavalry, they will probably be a fate of collapse on the spot and scattered fleeing.

In fact, this situation is not only in Cao Xiu, but also in the feudal dynasty of China. It is a common problem faced by all troops with primary peasant soldiers as their combat effectiveness. On the surface, it seems that there are many people and can fight with the wind, but once it is in a state of headwind, it is like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.

In Shandong, everyone is competing with bad things together. So the Cao army, which is not bad, stands out, but now that it is discovered that it cannot drag the Cavalry Army into the quagmire of consumption, the Cao army, with many soldiers and widespread generals, has to face a very difficult problem.

Taking these ordinary Cao army soldiers may not be able to gain much advantage in combat in the field, but if you don’t bring these soldiers, you will never even have the chance to fight.

According to Cao Xiu's experience, if a dense infantry formation is used, plus a giant shield and a long spear, it can indeed temporarily block the Hussar cavalry, but it can only last for a while. The reason is very simple. The Cao army soldiers cannot move in an array like elite heavy infantry, and can only defend themselves on the spot. Because the Hussar cavalry moves fast and has strong impact, the cavalry can be divided into small teams around the outer circle of the infantry array, and it is difficult for infantry to move after defending, and they are naturally in a more passive situation.

Of course, if the infantry array is coupled with the baggage cart, a relatively stable defense line can be formed, which will also allow ordinary soldiers of the Cao army to comfort themselves psychologically. If the chariot array does not collapse, it can maintain a certain morale.

But the problem is that the Hussar Cavalry is now equipped with the Five Elements Thunder...

That thing is too destructive to dense arrays.

If only I had all the elite boys with me...

Cao Xiu glanced at the ordinary Cao army soldiers who could even act in seventeen or eighteen postures with long spears, and they were really speechless.

To keep these ordinary Cao army soldiers still in a dense array after being hit by the Five Elements Thunder, it would be better to think more about other ways to resist the cavalry and horses.

For example, traps and horse rejection.

Resisting horses is definitely very familiar to ordinary soldiers of the Cao army.

It can be said that as long as there is a military camp, there is a horse-rejecting enemy. Generally, when a large army sets up camp, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the enemy, a horse-rejecting enemy formation with a distance of dozens of steps must be set up around the camp.

But the problem is that the horse can't be moved.

"Is there any moveable horse?" Cao Xiu asked the guard beside him.

"Can you move the horse?" The guard was a little dull, and he couldn't imagine what the horse that moved the horse should look like.

"Yes! That's it!" Cao Xiu turned his head and looked at the baggage trucks behind him, and suddenly thought of something, if he put the horse on the baggage truck, or if he used the baggage truck to build the horse...
