I add points to Indian martial arts.

Chapter 52: Horses and Eurasia

Meanwhile, while Shah and two servants went to the Shhaman auction house to buy the Brahma Moon martial arts for Li Wei, Li Wei was practicing the Naga Eight Steps in the courtyard.

At this moment, a panel appeared in front of him.

Name: Li Wei

[Martial Skill: Naga Eight Steps (lv8) (4/10)]

[Elephant Strength: 1.95]

Li Wei's strength has improved again. He hasn't been idle for the past five days. He has upgraded Naga Eight Steps by two levels, and his Qi and Blood have increased from 0.2 to 1.95, which is very close to the power of the Two Elephants.

[Exercise completed, experience points +1]

Finishing the last movement of the Naga Eight Steps, Li Wei stood there, drenched in sweat, having gained another experience point. At this rate, he could level up the Naga Eight Steps to level nine tomorrow, which would allow his Qi and Blood to break through to the level of Two Elephants.

"This cheat really did make my strength improve very quickly." Li Wei wiped the sweat off his body and thought to himself. Five days later, when Shaha brought him the Brahma Moon level martial arts, his Elephant Force would probably be around 2.3, and the first step of Naga would definitely be fully mastered. If he also brought back the Brahma Moon level martial arts, and he had the martial arts talisman in hand, he could instantly master it as well.

At that time, my combat power will undergo an amazing transformation.

"With a power level of 2.3, the first step of the Naga mastery, and a mastery of the Brahma Moon level martial arts, he should be able to make a move against Sakjai, right?" Li Wei squinted his eyes. In fact, if he wanted to take the risk, he could wait for Saha to return in five days, and he could definitely make a move then.

However, to play it safe, he felt he should wait a few more days until his Elephant Force reached around 2.6, close to the peak strength of the early stage of Vanpi, before taking action. This would be more secure.

He could even play it safe a little longer, waiting until his Elephant Force breaks through to level three and reaches the mid-stage of the Vanpi realm before making his move.

After all, Sakjee still had his own advantages compared to him at this time: he had five hundred soldiers and something he didn't have: horses!

"Horses are extremely important in any world, and this martial arts world is no exception." Li Wei sighed. He felt a bit poor, having inherited Piro's legacy with only a dozen or so ordinary horses and not a single Vatican horse.

Piro had a cavalry squad of twenty men, all of whom were mounted on Viking horses.

This cavalry squad of twenty men is incredibly powerful.

In the original ancient world, whoever controlled the horses controlled the initiative in war, and cavalry was equivalent to the ultimate high-tech army of the ancient world.

The same applies to this martial arts world, because horses can enhance a person's qi and blood.

Yes, you read that right. Riding a horse can increase a warrior's vitality and strength.

This seems to be a rule of this world.

Although the ordinary horses in Piro's hands were ordinary, they could still amplify a martial artist's qi and blood, but the amplification was not very obvious, probably only about 1%.

But Sakje has the Brahma, which is a different story. This kind of horse can amplify a martial artist's blood and qi by 10%!

What does this mean?

It is no exaggeration to say that when Sakje's twenty cavalry squads fought against his other four hundred and eighty men, the twenty cavalry squads could easily wipe out the four hundred and eighty infantrymen.

The reason is that, firstly, the Brahma enhances a person's blood and qi, and when there are more than ten horses, there will be an invisible force, which is equivalent to a mental attack. When infantrymen see the cavalry charging, they will involuntarily feel fear and will not be able to exert their strength.

Secondly, those who could be selected by Sakje to join the cavalry squad must be the strongest soldiers under his command, the elite of the elite.

This is just like in the original world, why can't your infantry always beat cavalry?

One reason is the mobility and impact, and another is the rarity of horses. Those who can become cavalry are generally elite warriors. The same is true in this martial arts world. Because horses amplify one's health and mana, cavalry remains the most valuable type of soldier in the world. Those who can become cavalry are also the strongest warriors.

This is also why Li Wei decided to wait until his strength reached 2.6 Magnitude before considering dealing with Sakje.

Because it would be risky for him to fight Sakje with a strength of 2.3, as Sakje is riding a Brahma horse, which can increase his health by one layer, plus his twenty cavalrymen.

Therefore, Li Wei felt that taking action five days later would still be a risky move.

"Indeed, no world can exist without horses." Li Wei suddenly felt a bit worried. If he wanted to compete for supremacy in the core region of this continent in the future, it wouldn't be enough for him to be strong personally; he would also need to maintain a certain number of cavalry.

In this world, there's a saying: only those with 100,000 cavalry are qualified to enter the core region of this continent and contend for supremacy.

"One hundred thousand cavalry, let's take it slow." Li Wei thought for a moment, deciding to develop both strength and cavalry training in parallel.

There's no way around it, the horse is too important.

If he had 100,000 Brahma cavalrymen under his command, and they obeyed him without question, even with the strength of two elephants, he could become a regional overlord in Napur with those 100,000 cavalrymen.

In any world, if you control horses, you control the world.

Just like in the original world, the Yamana people, the true ancestors of the little mustache, swept across and conquered most of Eurasia by using horse-drawn chariots.

The Yamnaya people are considered to be the shapers of European genes and language, and important initiators and carriers of the early conquest and spread of Indo-European languages.

In a sense, it wasn't wrong for Little Mustache to consider the Aryans as his ancestors. In the 19th century, the term "Aryan" was used to refer to all Indo-European peoples, which is the Aryans in a broad sense.

Later, the bearded man tarnished the name Aryan, so scholars stopped using Aryan to replace Indo-European people and generally referred to them as Indo-European people or Yamnaya people.

The Yamnaya people, relying on their superior horsemanship, used the advanced technology of horse-drawn chariots to conquer half of Eurasia.

At that time, the Yamantaka people split into several groups, migrating and conquering in all directions. One group migrated to Asia Minor and established the Hittite Empire.

One group migrated to the Iranian plateau, forming the Medes and Persians, who established the Achaemenid Persian Empire, thus ending the ancient Egyptian civilization.

They migrated to India and established the Sanskrit Vedic culture.

The migration of the Yamnaya people to Europe almost completely transformed the old European population.

Archaeological discoveries have revealed mass graves in the Košice region of Europe, where patriarchal men from the old European population were collectively executed by the Yamnaya people.

British archaeologists have also discovered that the paternal genes of the people who founded Stonehenge in Britain were replaced by the R lineage carried by the Yamnaya people.

Around 2800 BC, the Yamnaya people evolved the cord-patterned artifact culture and entered Northern Europe, becoming the direct ancestors of the Germanic peoples.

One branch of the Yamnaya people migrated to southern Europe and mixed with the local population to form the Latin-speaking language family.

In general, the Indo-European language family, which accounts for almost half of the world's population today, was originally driven by the Yamnaya people.

K-type Indo-European languages ​​include Germanic, Celtic, Greek, etc.

The S-class Indo-European languages ​​include Sanskrit, Slavic languages, and Baltic languages.

Moreover, you can find from some myths and legends that these Indo-European peoples do indeed share a common origin. For example, the heavenly father in Pala mythology is the same as the heavenly father in the famous ancient Indian book, the Rigveda.

Dievas, the godfather in the mythology of Polo, and Dyaus, the godfather in the Rigveda.

The thunder god and serpent god in Slavic mythology also share similarities with the thunder god and serpent god in Vedic mythology.

Some scholars believe that this is precisely because they all share the same Indo-European origin, or Yamnaya people.

This resulted in some striking similarities between the early customary laws of ancient Greece and ancient India.

In ancient Greece, families were centered around the male head of the household (Kyrios), who held absolute authority over his wife, children, and slaves. Property was usually inherited by male offspring, and disputes over inheritance rights are frequently mentioned in Homer's epics.

In ancient India, the family system, which was passed down from father to son, was the core. The male patriarch (Grihapati) presided over family rituals and decisions. In order to ensure the continuation of the family bloodline and rituals, the Niyoga system was even developed (widows could ask their deceased husband's brother or close relatives to have children). Similar practices existed in city-states such as Sparta in ancient Greece.
