Han Dao world

Chapter 554 Exercise
Cai Yan's reasoning is not profound, even a little plain.

Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, people are divided into men and women, and yang and yang combine to form all things, and men and women combine to produce descendants.

After Cai Yan explained the truth, he changed the subject and began to prove that although there are differences between men and women, there is no natural gap in other aspects except for the difference in body structure and the irreplaceable differences in reproduction. Women can do anything that can be done, and they can do it very well, no less than men.

After reading this, Tian Chou understood what Cai Yan meant, but felt something was wrong.

Just as he was thinking about the problem, there was a burst of earth-shattering cheers in his ear.

"Wolf ride! Wolf ride!"

Tian Chou looked up, and it turned out that the review had already started, and the wolf rider was practicing tactics.

Hundreds of cavalry galloped out of the formation and rushed across the valley.The horse's hooves kicked up the snow-white spray, muddying the clear river water, and rushed to the opponent with water droplets.

Dozens of tents were scattered on the grass where they faced each other, and there were straw figures in the shape of Xianbei standing in front of the tents.The wolf galloped between the tents, wielding the knives and spears in its hands, making chopping and stabbing movements, and fell the straw man to the ground.

This is a common tactic of cavalry, and there is nothing unusual about it.The difference between the wolf riders is that they don't rush all the way to the past, but keep turning back, making it impossible to figure out their trajectory.

But Tian Chou soon understood the danger of this tactic.

Nearly a hundred elites were running non-stop on the vast grassland.There is no rear, no luggage, supplies are captured, and means of killing and destruction are used.Like a pack of wolves, its whereabouts are erratic. Once it finds an opportunity, it will rush to bite, tear its opponents into pieces, and swallow them clean.

They actually have another name: horse thief.It's just that their equipment is better than horse thieves, their training is better, and their killing is more ruthless.

They are not for looting, but for destroying.

This method of warfare will collapse the nomads on the grasslands.

Nomads also want to produce and graze. They are not always in a state of war. They usually live scattered in different places in the unit of villages. There may be only a few villages within a radius of more than ten miles. There are only a dozen men and women together. When encountering this kind of cavalry, there is almost no power to fight back.

This method of warfare is very brutal, but there is a premise that the hundred cavalry must not only have strong combat effectiveness, but also have extremely strong survivability.Not only can they not get lost on the grassland, but they must also be able to face the harsh conditions of food and water shortages at any time.

It's normal to see no people for hundreds of miles above the grassland.

Tian Chou came to a conclusion almost instantly. This is another very practical tactic, but it is difficult to implement.The threat to the Xianbei people is great, but few people can carry it out.

Even Gongsun Zan, known for his bravery and skill in combat, could not do it.He didn't have the ability to fight deep into the grassland, so he couldn't pose a fatal threat to Xianbei and Wuhuan, but only aroused their anger.

The exercise of the wolf cavalry was over, and the Habayashi cavalry and the Beijun cavalry started to move. They also only had a hundred cavalry, walking towards each other and crossing each other. The nearest time was only twenty or thirty steps.

The flags were intertwined, the smoke and dust billowed on the battlefield, and there was such a familiar smell, which made people feel excited and fearful.The teenagers and girls around Tian Chou who were shouting fiercely stopped talking, and clenched their fists one by one, secretly exerting force.

The cavalry staggered twice and returned to the main formation.

Armor rides out.

Thirty armored cavalry were divided into three teams, ten cavalry in each team, first rehearsed the vertical attack sagittal formation and geese formation, and then rehearsed the horizontal formation.No matter what kind of tactics they used and how they cooperated, the three teams always maintained a complete formation without any confusion.

A strict formation itself can bring great coercion. Anyone who has experience in fighting cavalry can imagine what it would be like to see such a group of opponents on the battlefield.

The cavalry duel is not only a contest of martial arts, but also courage.

No matter how good your martial arts skills are, seeing the cavalry rushing towards you, approaching quickly, and the huge body of the war horse may hit you in the next moment, many people will feel fear in their hearts.Only well-trained infantry can form formations to face cavalry, and only knights who can overcome the fear of death can meet them instead of turning around and fleeing.

Tian Chou could understand why the Xianbei people were defeated.The Xianbei cavalry, who mainly focus on cavalry and shooting, and supplemented by impact, find it difficult to keep calm in the face of such cavalry, and there is a high probability that they will choose to retreat.

After the armor cavalry exercise, there was a brief calm on the battlefield.

Hundreds of craftsmen appeared on the practice field, put down more than a dozen horses, scattered the carts, and placed straw figures in the middle. The originally empty and flat school field immediately became chaotic.

Everyone was puzzled, and there was no sound.

After a while, the war drums sounded again, the horn blew, and the ten female knights kicked their horses lightly and stepped out slowly.

A female knight walking in the front stood upright, holding a battle flag.

Nine knights spread out on both sides of the battle flag. They were tall and handsome, wearing helmets decorated with snow-white helmets and close-fitting battle armor.She wears a sword, bow and crossbow at her waist, and holds a spear in her hand, which is also tied with a snow-white tassel, fluttering in the wind.

Their war horses are also carefully selected Xiliang horses, all of which are bay red horses, matched with the female knight's white, which are dazzling.

The crowd of onlookers boiled again.

Tian Chou also laughed.He has seen the status of the female knight on duty, and she is definitely not what she is now.However, he also had to admit that such a female knight was more beautiful and more impressive.

After saluting to the emperor and queen, the female knights began to accelerate, and after performing some conventional tactics, they rushed into the obstacles formed by repelling horses and carts.They unite as one, galloping back and forth between obstacles, bypassing carts, jumping over horses, pulling out their bright sabers while the horses are leaping, raising their spears, drawing their bows and crossbows, and knocking down the scattered straw figures one by one. cut down.

The preceding maneuvers are all good, but the one of the female knight is undoubtedly the best to watch.From the moment they appeared on the stage, there were waves of applause, and the people on both sides of Tian Chou, regardless of gender, became more excited than each other, and their palms were red.

"Look, look, it's so sassy." The girl hopped her feet, her face flushed.

"Hmm." The young man nodded subconsciously without taking his eyes off.

Tian Chou squinted his eyes, but the smile on his face was a little stiff, and the unfinished article in his hand was crumpled into a ball.

He originally thought that the female cavalry was just a decoration, just the whim of the young emperor.After watching the performance of these female knights, he realized a problem.The emperor set up female cavalry not necessarily because he wanted these female knights to become an army, but he hoped to prove one thing through these female knights.

What a man can do, a woman can do as well, although it may be difficult.

I can join the army now, but can I be an official in the future?Will there be a woman in the hall of the big man?

Tian Chou stood there blankly, everything in front of him disappeared, all the hustle and bustle went away from him, and only one strange thought remained.

Male superiority and female inferiority will be a thing of the past. Ban Zhao wrote "The Commandments for Women" and it will be terminated by Cai Yan's "Scholar's Discourse".The emperor not only wants to rejuvenate the big man, he also wants to build a big man who can stand shoulder to shoulder with men and women.

Is this a last resort to save the nation, or is it a deliberate attempt to destroy the old and establish the new?
