"What is the Cavalry Army going to do?"
Cao Hong frowned.
"Like it's a demonstration?"
The guards on the side responded.
Cao Hong remained silent and frowned.
The cavalry and horse seemed to have a fake shot and did not really attack the Cao army array, which made the originally nervous Cao army infantry array breathe a sigh of relief.
I don’t know how many Cao’s soldiers were breathing heavily at the same time, just like the sound of a crosstalk theater.
In the eyes of others, the Cavalry Army changed from vertical to horizontal seems to be to "scarry" the Cao army, or try to force the Cao army to change the array in this way and lead to flaws.
But Cao Hong felt that the Cavalry Army would not be so stupid.
Horsepower and manpower have a certain limit in a short period of time. If the cavalry runs so hard for a while, but does not gain anything, it is equivalent to losing!
Unless there is another idea...
"General, where the stone cannon..." the guard asked.
Cao Hong frowned and pondered for a moment, "Don't move for the time being."
While the Hussar Cavalry is moving at high speed, not to mention whether these catapults can perfectly estimate the advance movement of the Hussar Cavalry, even if the advancement can be accurately estimated, what happened again?
It is difficult to ensure accuracy in vertical direction, so it can only cover the victory, if it is used to smash horizontal movement...
That's too difficult!
Therefore, the killing weapon in Cao Jun’s camp could only remain silent.
『What is this to do...』
Cao Hong suddenly thought of something, and a little suspicion appeared in his eyes.
...
...
Just when most of the Cao army soldiers thought that the Hussar cavalry would go back in just a circle, Li Li shouted in the queue of the Hussar cavalry: "The archers are outside! Throwers! Prepare to cover!"
The copper whistle sounded, and it was passed from the front of the queue to the back.
The Hussar Cavalry, which was generally parallel to the Cao army's array, began to exchange positions as the order was issued.
Nowadays, the cavalry's war horses have different types, and the cavalry are also beginning to evolve towards their different professionalisms.
People are different, and even the same cavalry will have some subtle differences.
For example, some people have good bows and arrows, some people have good use of swords and guns, and some people have good at throwing, especially Hu cavalry...
The thrust rope used by the Hu people was originally used to shepherd sheep. Some guys who were good at throwing stones could even use long whips to roll up stones to accurately hit the horns of the leading sheep!
This is almost comparable to the archer technique of passing through Yang in a hundred steps, but after the Hu people became the Han cavalry, there was no place to use it. But no one expected that after Fei Qian tried to rush out the grenade, this kind of stone-towing technique became popular in the cavalry queue again.
Because this skill can be used to throw larger "stones"...
As for why not use a crossbow?
The range of cavalry crossbows is too short, and even due to the limitations in materials, even if they have been improved and reduced, the weight of cavalry crossbows is still not light, which makes many cavalry rather choose bows and arrows than use cavalry crossbows. Of course, some cavalry with poor talent shooting skills can still use cavalry crossbows, after all, it is more convenient.
As for infantry crossbows, even double-person yellow crossbows with a longer range, they are undoubtedly a big burden for cavalry and are generally difficult to carry. So in the final analysis, it is because of the characteristics of cavalry and current technological limitations that the Hussar cavalry has embarked on an unusual path on the evolutionary route.
The Cao army was thinking about how to deal with the cavalry, and of course the cavalry army was studying how to deal with the infantry.
After Sima Yi "sacrificed" his blood relatives, he opened his meridians and suddenly discovered that the heavy armored and heavy arrows of the archers was undoubtedly a nightmare for the infantry front.
But as mentioned before, it is impossible to both require it on the battlefield. The heavy armored and heavy arrows of the infantry will be controlled by the middle-mounted lancers, and the middle-mounted lancers will in turn be skewed into barbecue skewers by the infantry's densely packed spear formations.
In order to break the simple restraint of this scissors and stone cloth, the Hussars mixed in with tigers and insects...
The stick is a heavy armored archer, and the bug is a throwing soldier.
Tigers are used to eat chickens, and bugs are used to chew on the tiger's sticks.
In the game, riding and shooting always roars and flying arrows are like rain. However, in fact, this kind of riding and shooting is often mainly suppressed and does not seek to kill. It often consumes a huge number of arrows, just jingling and unable to kill a few people. The real practical standard riding and shooting was created by Sima Yi, and perhaps it is not Sima Yi's original creation, but the archer tactics formed by Sima Yi's first summary and reporting to the martial arts lecture hall.
Sima Yi wrote in the report of the war in the martial arts lecture hall, "If a rider and shoot as an elder, he will rush his horse to a distance of fifty steps, and then shoot his weakly. The flying arrows whistle like rain. Although the enemy has the advantage of weapons and armor, they can gather to resist, can they hurt me beyond fifty steps?"
Avoiding direct melee combat with infantry is the core focus of cavalry and shooting tactics. Although cavalry has a high posture and strong impact, they may not always defeat infantry in melee combat.
Especially when the infantry's sword and spear are lengthened.
Just like at the moment, the spearmen of Cao's infantrymen put the spear on the front shield and built a dense array, like a hedgehog stretching out the spikes.
Li Li wanted to fight with Cao's army at close or zero distance.
So, Li Li wanted to try a new tactic, and he wanted to post it with Cao Jun.
It is close to a very close distance and can avoid the attack of infantry cold weapons.
Even the other party’s bow and arrow!
Because infantry archers are normally not placed in the first row to shoot against the cavalry, and because of their own shooting boundary and the concealment of the front row of soldiers, although infantry archers have stronger crossbows, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to keep up with the cavalry's movements and catch the shooting window that is lost in the flash in the cracks.
The rapid and powerful copper whistle sounded again!
