Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 1880 Dou Xian rides into the grassland

After many years of training and fighting, the cavalry of the Jin army took advantage of their equipment. Even if they were not as good as the opponent in horsemanship, their ability to fight frontally was definitely not inferior to that of the grassland cavalry.

However, this is only the ability to fight frontally, and there is still some gap in other strengths.

Take the speed advantage for example. Although the marching speed of the cavalry of the Jin army is already very fast, there is still a certain gap with these knights who live on the grassland all year round.

During the march, the stamina and resistance to harsh environments of these prairie cavalry were much higher than those of the Jin army. In terms of marching, the prairie cavalry could rest and sleep directly on the horse, and change horses while galloping.

Even if the Jin army is well trained, in many respects, it is definitely impossible to compare with the prairie people who grew up on horseback since they were young.

Just as the grassland can never match the Jin army in some aspects, it is also difficult for the Jin army to catch up with the opponent in those places where the grassland people are good at themselves.

Just like the cavalry in the south, whether it is the [-] Battalion or the White Robe Army in the earliest Liu Che period, they are all trained according to the standards of an elite cavalry unit, and the generals who train them are definitely famous in the world.

However, although their level in all aspects has surpassed that of ordinary cavalry, compared with the Flying Tiger Battalion, Beiwei Army, and even the Golden Fire Cavalry, which are also elite cavalry, they are still a little bit inferior.

As for Wang Baobao, although the army he led was also composed of Jin people, they were naturalized Jin people.

After the fall of the Southern Huns, many Southern Huns were assimilated into the Han people, and then became the current Jin people.Not only generals such as Wang Baobao and Ashu were naturalized, but also ordinary herdsmen.

Although these people are now Jin people, not Huns, it is difficult to change the fact that these people also grew up on horseback.

Therefore, Wang Baobao's team was the fastest way to advance.Most of his journey was originally from the original Southern Huns, and there was no difference between returning to the grassland and returning home.

"General Dou, this Wang Baobao really belongs to the rabbit!" Hou Mo Chen Chong said a little depressed.

This time, because the war was going to be fought against the grassland, many generals of the grassland were appointed by Da Jin.

Leaving aside the soldier Ma Yuefei from Bingzhou who directly sent Wang Baobao, who was born in the grassland, as the main general. Among the troops sent from Liangzhou, the two grassland generals, Hou Mo, Chen Chong and A Shu, were also candidates for the battle.

Although the soldiers and horses on the Liangzhou road were not like Wang Baobao's, most of them were naturalized Southern Huns.However, among the soldiers and horses along the way, there are many generals from the grasslands.

However, among the three routes of soldiers and horses, the route of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou is the slowest route.

Moreover, among the three routes of soldiers and horses, the route of soldiers and horses in Liangzhou is the route with the worst overall quality.

The soldiers from Bingzhou and Hezhou are all veterans among veterans. I don't know how many years they have fought against Yuanmeng in northern Xinjiang.Although they may not have experienced any big battles, small-scale fights are definitely everywhere.

In this regard, Liangzhou is relatively inferior.When Su Dingfang went to the Western Regions, he transferred a large number of backbone forces from Liangzhou. This has led to the fact that Liangzhou's overall strength is not as good as Bingzhou and Hezhou.

"It's okay, starting early doesn't mean you can make a contribution!" Dou Xian comforted the generals under the tent.

Of course, it is not certain what Dou Xian actually thinks in his heart!

A large part of the reason why Meng Tian let Dou Tian send troops out so slowly is also deliberate.

Sending troops from Bingzhou and Hezhou will only face Yuanmeng in the north, but if sending troops from Liangzhou, in addition to encountering soldiers from Yuanmeng in the north, there is also a certain possibility of encountering soldiers from Yuanmeng in the Western Regions.

Therefore, their way of soldiers and horses is the way that requires the most caution.After Bingzhou and Hezhou dispatched troops, observe the movement of the Yuanmeng army in the Western Regions, and Liangzhou's soldiers and horses can be late-moving.

However, the northern borders have already opened fire, but the original troops of the Western Regions have not shown any sign of being mobilized back, which shows Yuanmeng's determination for the Western Regions.In this way, Liangzhou's troop strength could no longer wait any longer, and began to formally dispatch troops.

The Jin army also wanted to use this to further press down on the grassland. Even if Yuanmeng had no extra power to interfere with Tuobawei and Manqing, they also wanted to see if they could relieve the pressure on Su Dingfang in Xizhou!

"Ah!..." On the top of the city gate, Meng Tian, ​​the governor of Liangzhou, looked at the [-] soldiers who were quietly marching northward in the night. He sighed and said slowly: "I don't know how many soldiers will come back alive after this trip? As the saying goes, Jun Moxiao, who is drunk on the battlefield, how many people have fought in ancient times?"

The battles with the grasslands are almost all the most primitive cavalry battles and hand-to-hand battles. Regardless of victory or defeat, the casualty rate is not much less!

Moreover, the Jin army's riding and shooting ability is much worse than Yuan Meng's.The combat skills of many cavalry, this is not to say that they are trained through training.Those prairie people who grew up on horseback have already regarded many movements as their instincts.However, how long have the knights on the Jin army's side been riding their horses?

This kind of thing is a natural gap!

Yuan Meng, this is the enemy of the Jin army!
Now, this soldier and horse has even entered the grassland, and the threats it faces are even more!No one can guarantee how much they can come back in the end!

It is impossible for 10 cavalry of the Jin army to enter the vast grassland with a radius of thousands of miles, interspersed among tens of thousands of Mongolian herdsmen, and it is impossible to send back the battle report on time. Li Xiang and Meng Tian did not expect to see the real-time battle situation in time.What Meng Tian can do now is to stay in Liangzhou and wait for the soldiers to return in triumph.

Yes, Triumph.

As the governor, he must have confidence in the generals and soldiers under his opponents.If he didn't even have confidence in the generals and soldiers under his opponent, then why would they win this battle!
Throughout history, as long as the party has been defeated, it is not far from the real defeat!

As a general, you must not be arrogant, but you must not lose confidence in yourself.

Taking another [-] steps back, if he, as the governor, has no confidence, how can he make the soldiers have confidence?
