Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 216 Golden Finger Restarts

"Meng County?" Gao Jingzong took a deep breath and said, "We are only five miles away from Sui County in Meng County (now the ancient city of Liangyuan Park in Shangqiu), and we only have [-] defenders in Meng County, which can win us a day at most. The time is at least two hours. The governor orders!"

All the soldiers stood in awe.

Gao Jingzong said: "Jiang Fang, Liu Yunfei!"

Jiang Fang and Liu Yunfei came out at the same time, clasped their fists together and said, "The last general is here!"

Gao Jingzong said: "Order all the soldiers and horses, let's go meet Murong De!"

"The governor can't do it!" Cui Cheng was shocked and said in fear: "The whole people of Xianbei and Bailu are good at cavalry, and cavalry is unparalleled in the world. If we defend against the city, we still have a three-point chance of winning. Suicide!"

"We have made very good preparations in Sui County, but in the eyes of the governor, this is still not enough!" Gao Jingzong said: "A city, especially a city built for commercial purposes like Sui County, the city wall itself is not enough. Strong. More importantly, we have 70 million soldiers and civilians inside and outside the city, so the daily consumption of materials alone is an astronomical figure. For example, vegetables will be used up quickly just by storage, and fuel cannot Get effective supplies, and the most important thing is that among our 70 million soldiers and civilians, not all of them agree with the governor. Although there is no need to screen, the governor also knows that Sui County is like a sieve at this time. There are spies and secret agents from various forces in Diqin. Once the Yan army comes to the city, if someone with a heart instigates it, chaos is likely to occur. Therefore, passive defense is the last resort. The governor has never advocated local defense. The best way is to attack."

"But, we cavalry..."

When the two cavalry generals Liu Yunfei and Jiang Fang heard this, they looked at Cui Zhu with eyes like knives.Cui Cheng was startled, but bit his head and said: "Master Mingjian, our army's cavalry is very young, and its combat effectiveness is extremely poor. Once it faces the Xianbei cavalry, I am afraid that we will win less and lose more!"

Gao Jingzong founded the Jianghuai Governor's Mansion, and there was no clear boundary between military, Chinese and military. However, as Gao Jingzong occupied more and more territory, more and more civilian officials served as local officials.In particular, Gao Jingzong was appointed by the Eastern Jin Dynasty as the governor of the thief-hunter, the military governor of the five states, and the county lord of Xiayi. This made countless down-and-out literati see a way of hope.In particular, Gao Jingzong held an imperial examination that was like a child's play, and most of the literate and hyphenated people in the army were successively placed as civil servants.

The power of civil servants also began to skyrocket, especially the Chen family in Qimen, which was close to the water. Some of the tents, stewards and shopkeepers trained by the Chen family were turned into officials of the court. Countless children of poor families and common landlords were extremely excited.In particular, although Cui Yi was only the governor of the governor's mansion, he became a civilian leader indistinctly.

For these changes, Gao Jingzong himself is optimistic.Of course, in Gao Jingzong's mind, Cui Yi was mainly responsible for how to effectively lead the civil service system and stabilize people's hearts.

Gao Jingzong did not agree with Cui Zhi's opinion, but continued to analyze the necessity of going to war with Cui Zhi and others.One thing Gao Jingzong did not explain to everyone.

According to traditional cognition, the Han people can't ride horses, and the Han cavalry is far from the opponent of the Xianbei people.Any nomad, who can pull out a random person, can easily finish the torture of the excellent knights of the Han people.This is mainly because in this era, the development of cavalry was still very backward. First of all, cavalry did not have stirrups or high bridge saddles.Gao Jingzong discovered this problem very early, but there were too few cavalry at that time, and Gao Jingzong did not dare to invent the Takahashi saddle and double-sided stirrups of later generations.

In fact, the reason is very simple. Whether it is a Takahashi saddle or a double-sided stirrup, there is no technical content.It's just a matter of the way of thinking, it's just that the way of thinking is open, and people can easily imitate it.If the army of Yan State is equipped with Gaoqiao saddles and double-sided stirrups, I am afraid that Ran Min's resurrection will not be able to defeat the armored cavalry of the Xianbei people.

Although the Xianbei realized that light cavalry had poor protection on the battlefield, they installed horse armor.However, bilateral stirrups and Takahashi saddles have not been invented. Such cavalry cannot be equipped with long-handled heavy weapons on war horses. Armor, this not only cannot effectively protect the safety of cavalry and horses, but it is easier to fall off the horses.

This is also the reason why Murong Ke used [-] armored cavalry in history and was killed by Ran Min through the army, and he was close to Murong Ke's army.Because in this case, the spears in the hands of the infantry can easily knock down the cavalry with armored cavalry. When they got up, they could only watch helplessly as their beloved horses trampled them to death, or were killed by enemy infantry.

This is the real reason why Xianbei Murongbu's armored cavalry is only a flash in the pan in history.In Liaodong, the armored cavalry of the Xianbei Murong Department could ignore the cavalry bows and arrows of Goguryeo, Fuyu, Xianbei Duanbu, and Yuwenbu. Once activated, they would crush the enemies in front of them to death like a steamroller.However, after entering the Central Plains, the Han people did not have an organized light cavalry for them to crush, and they would not foolishly wait for the armored cavalry to slash and kill. Once the battle failed, the Han infantry would run away. Unarmed infantry can't catch up.

Gao Jingzong insisted on going out of the city to fight in the field, but Cui Yao had no choice.Gao Jingzong comforted Cui Yi and said: "If the battle is not good, the governor can flee back lightly. They are all four-legged war horses. They will never want to catch up with the governor."

Cui Cheng still had a lot of worries: "The son of a daughter does not sit in the hall."

"At this time, how can the governor take care of himself alone?" Gao Jingzong said: "Don't treat the soldiers as fools, they are not stupid. Can you fight to the death?"

Cui Zhi shook his head.

Gao Jingzong said: "That's right, no one is more stupid than the other. If you treat a soldier as a fool, then this general is the real fool. If you want the whole army to fight for their lives, the governor must be the first to do it!"

Gao Jingzong led Liu Yunfei and Jiang Fang to lead more than [-] cavalry out of the north city of Sui County, and went to Meng County.If you observe carefully, you will find that these Beifu Army cavalry are equipped with bilateral stirrups and high bridge saddles.In the era when stirrups were not invented, knights rode in combat on the saddle of horses with bows and arrows, spears, swords and shields. Knight training in that era was stricter than medieval cavalry training, so the selection requirements were better.

The cost of training such cavalry is very high, and the combat effectiveness is very low.Almost all the nomadic peoples who are enemies with China have left behind a legend "Don't fight in battle!"

The so-called non-fighting in front of the battle means that once the Han army forms an army formation, there will be no fighting.If you fight, you can only kill yourself.The mere four words are the experience summed up by the Hu people in the north with countless blood and tears.

After Gao Jingzong invented the stirrup and Gaoqiao saddle, he secretly equipped the cavalry of the Beifu Army.After half a month of training, the riding skills of these cavalry improved very quickly.In fact, few inventions are as simple as the stirrup, and few are as historically significant.Stirrups apply animal power to short-handed combat, allowing cavalry and horses to become one. The galloping horse can be ridden and shot, and can also swing left and right on the horseback to complete the military action of chopping left and right.

After Gao Jingzong "invented" the stirrup, he did not invent the so-called "Mangudao" tactics of Genghis Khan like the vast crossing army, but "invented" the tactical concept of the Polish hussars.

Is Mangu's tactics really as miraculous as it has been in history?This is not the case. At least a Han army that is not too weak to fight and not too poorly equipped has a 200-[-] chance of winning when fighting against the Mongolian cavalry.Shooting a hornbow with a range of less than [-] steps against an infantry crossbow is almost the same concept as shooting a submachine gun against an automatic infantry. The crossbow can make the hornbow teach you how to behave.The rise of Mongolia has certain historical accidental factors, which cannot be replicated.First of all, in the Southern Song Dynasty, the military was suppressed by literature, and the overall corruption made the army's combat effectiveness weak.The Mongols picked up a big bargain.Also because of the dispute of faith, the Crusades fought for more than [-] years, causing European countries, Arabia, and Persia to almost shed blood.

According to incomplete statistics, the Crusades killed more than ten million people.The last eighth Crusade child army led by Louis IX of France had already surpassed a third.This is enough to show that due to war factors, European manpower has been exhausted.Similarly, the *** world is not feeling well.In this case, the Mongols occupied Asia, Europe and Africa with little effort.

Therefore, Gao Jingzong did not plagiarize the mangu evil tactics that he thought to be brilliant in the time-traveling world. If he really adopted this kind of tactics, he probably wouldn't even know how to die.

However, Poland's cavalry tactics are different. The Poles face two main enemies: the Teutonic Knights in the northwest and the Mongols in the east.Facing the open terrain on the eastern front and the mobile Mongolian cavalry, the Polish army was vulnerable. In 1241, even Krakow, the then capital, was looted by the Mongols.So the Polish who learned from the pain invented the hussars.The so-called hussars tactics not only make use of their strengths but avoid their weaknesses, they don't compete with the Mongols in riding and archery skills, nor do they compete in the cavalry's charge and slash skills, but directly collide with each other and sell with one hammer.

In the military forums of later generations, Gao Jingzong had seen the equipment and training of the hussars.So in this time and space, he also created a Chinese cavalry.Of course, Gao Jingzong was not equipped with Poland's bird-like cloak.Besides, Gao Jingzong didn't have so many materials in his hands.

　Two more six thousand + start, if there is no accident, there will be more later.Begging for a ticket, today is the double monthly ticket, the last day.
