Chapter 195 Cavalry tactics
What they are currently conquering is a large-scale historical slice of an entire dynasty, and what is entrenched in it is naturally an extremely powerful demon.

At the very beginning, this big monster still used to fight in the usual way.

Let the northern barbarian cavalry run over without thinking.

Of course it makes sense to fight like this.

Because in the past, the sequencers had their personal combat power exploded, but the phantoms of the aborigines summoned did not have much power from the sequencers, and there was no essential difference from the real cold weapon army in ancient history.

In other words, the monsters controlled the heavy cavalry to keep rushing down like this, and sooner or later these phantoms of the aborigines would be rushed into chaos.

And as long as the formation is disordered, the barbarian cavalry can drive straight in, turning the war into a massacre.

Therefore, for the monsters, it doesn't matter if the losses in the early stage are relatively high, as long as they win in the end.

But this time, it obviously realized that the situation was wrong after the first round of charge, and quickly changed its tactics.

Whether this is the tactics it already mastered, or the tactics it learned in a certain way on the spot, in short, it must have realized that the sorter this time is different from the past, and has taken targeted measures .

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Fan Cun obviously couldn't sit still.

Obviously, their cavalry unit is the decisive force to change the battlefield situation, but they have been watching the show.

Sheng Taizu glanced at him indifferently: "Young man, are you so impatient?
"Those so-called brave generals who ride a thousand horses are fascinating, but they are by no means reckless men who only know how to charge forward.

"When they charge, they must see that the battlefield situation has allowed, and then lead the army to charge.

"Otherwise, he would have died when he was an ordinary soldier, and he wouldn't be able to survive later.

"You have to remember that as a cavalry general, the most important thing is not to be impatient.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and cavalry is the unit that can best seize opportunities. Sooner or later, it doesn't matter.

"What's more, they are the ones who should be impatient at this time.

"If this monster is really brainless, then we can wait for General Deng to injure them severely before fighting. But since this monster has brains and knows how to fight, then we should wait for it to strike first. "

It is of course very convincing that Sheng Taizu himself said these words.

After all, he himself is a fierce man who loves to charge forward and chop people with his own hands.

And, it makes sense too.

If the monster has no brains and only knows recklessness, then the task of the cavalry player is too simple: wait for the monster to hit the army formation and cause heavy casualties, and then harvest it at the end.

If the monster is not brainless, but has mastered a relatively clever method of warfare, then it should let the monster take the initiative to take the initiative, and see the tricks here.Once you advance aggressively and your mistakes are caught by clever demons, then there will be big problems.

And the reason Taizu Sheng was so sure that the monsters would take the initiative to attack sooner or later was because he was not wandering around with these cavalry, but was always trying to get close to the weak position of the northern barbarian cavalry.

It's like two people fighting, and the third person always holds a dagger and gestures at one of the rear vital parts.

After making gestures a few times, the other party will definitely not be able to bear it.

Sure enough, not long after, a northern barbarian heavy cavalry lined up and approached the player's cavalry troops!

Such a division of troops is naturally justified.

The monster doesn't want the player's cavalry unit to be threatening from the rear, so it is definitely a waste to use light cavalry to fight, so they can only use heavy cavalry.

What's more, in the current tactics against the infantry phalanx, the heavy cavalry no longer plays a decisive role, but is more like a meat shield to cover the light cavalry, so it is obviously more cost-effective to gather elite cavalry to kill players.

"finally come!
"Is it possible to have a thrilling hedge again?"

Fan Cun waited for a long time and finally got another chance to perform, so he was very excited.

Every second I spend waiting here feels like I'm wasting the advanced driving skills I've learned from cavalry trials.

Although Sheng Taizu had educated him before, it was obvious that he, who had always liked recklessness, hadn't understood Sheng Taizu's words very well at this time.

Sheng Taizu looked at him, eyes full of disgust: "Hedge, hedge, how can cavalry be used like this?

"It's like chopping iron with a sword, stupid!"

Fan Cun was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Your Majesty, but when you beat Ma Harry in Wulan Tula Mountain, didn't you just fight against him?"

Sheng Taizu let out a "heh": "That battle was because it had to be fought, so he used this head-to-head method to force Mahari to fight this battle!
"If he took the initiative to challenge us for a fight, how could we confront him?
"You people are really strange, obviously everyone is so superb in riding and horseback riding skills, but the commanding skills of the cavalry are so weak."

The expressions on the faces of the players are somewhat complicated.

Obviously, Sheng Taizu couldn't figure out why these players were so biased. They were good at riding horses, but none of them had a brain.

The players are also very helpless, this is not taught in the tutorial!
In the cavalry trial, only charge was taught, so we only learned charge...

Sheng Taizu pulled the rein: "Forget it, today I will show you the basic tactics of cavalry vs. cavalry, so as to save you from only knowing hedging and hedging when you encounter this kind of situation again.

"Follow me!

"We only demonstrate once, how much we can learn depends on your skills!"

As soon as Sheng Taizu finished speaking, the heavy cavalry from Beiman had already arrived in front of the players.

In terms of numbers, the number of this heavy cavalry is [-]% more than that of the players, and it is almost more than half of all the heavy cavalry of the northern barbarians.

In addition, some heavy cavalry who were originally mixed in the army formation are also being prepared, and may form another cavalry team of three to 5000 people to provide support at any time.

It can be seen that the monsters really regard this cavalry team composed of players as a major threat, so they mobilize a lot of resources to kill them.

If the method of hedging is followed, the players will definitely not gain the upper hand.

After a long period of adaptation and training, war horses can see spears without avoiding them, and monsters and player horses are even more fearless, so hedging is indeed a tactic that maximizes the impact of cavalry.

But before the players were able to easily break up the formation of the light cavalry, it was because the main combat method of the light cavalry was cavalry and shooting, and the formation was very loose.

If the opponent is a dense formation of heavy cavalry, the players' superb riding skills will not be very effective. Although they may still win in the end, the high battle damage is obviously unacceptable.

Although Sheng Taizu also used this kind of careless fighting method, it was out of necessity.At this time, it will definitely not be used again.

It's just that the players can't figure it out, two cavalry are fighting, and if they don't hedge against each other, can they still play some difficult tricks?
They could only maintain the formation and follow Taizu Sheng.

Soon, the distance between the two cavalry began to shrink.

Under the control of the demons, the heavy cavalry of the Northern Barbarians still adopted the simplest and most direct way to gradually speed up, preparing to reach the fastest speed before engaging in battle to obtain the greatest impact.

However, Sheng Taizu did not speed up with the Northern Man cavalry, but still ran at a leisurely pace.

Zhao Haiping was a little surprised and didn't quite understand why.

Everyone knows that when cavalry charge, the faster they run, the stronger the impact. If the speed cannot be increased, even if the horses do not collide but only the spears of the two sides stab each other, one's own side will have a great disadvantage.

But out of trust, everyone still kept the same speed and pace as Sheng Taizu.

Soon, the two sides came to a very subtle distance.

Sheng Taizu had already signaled to the right a little earlier, at this moment, he suddenly steered his horse to the right, changed direction, and rushed forward to the right!
The players were taken aback for a moment, then hurried to follow.

Just after keeping up, many players felt that something was wrong.

This feeling comes from instinct.

Because more than [-]% of people are right-handed, and cavalry basically don't know how to hold shields, so weapons, whether they are long spears or machetes, are mostly on the right side.

At this time, rushing forward to the right means exposing one's left side to the enemy, which seems a little inappropriate.

But fortunately, Sheng Taizu's prestige is indeed high enough, so even though a strong and natural sense of fear arises in their hearts, the players still try their best to overcome it, temporarily ignoring the terrifying picture that appeared in their minds, and followed.

And it wasn't until the last player passed in front of the Beiman heavy cavalry that they realized that Sheng Taizu's grasp of this distance was perfect.

The entire diversion was completed before the enemy cavalry rushed over.

But it's clearly not over yet.

The heavy cavalry of the Northern Barbarians sprinted with all their strength, but they didn't continue to move forward stupidly. Instead, they turned their horses to the left, trying to attack the player's tail.

It's just that Sheng Taizu has led his people to speed up suddenly, and the cavalry on both sides are moving at high speed, so this kind of pursuit cannot be completed in an instant, and the cavalry of the northern barbarians are hot on their heels.

Together, the two sides form an irregular arc that rotates counterclockwise.

This kind of scene is a bit strange, it looks like the player's cavalry is leading the northern barbarian cavalry around, and no one can do anything to anyone.

Although the northern barbarian cavalry can't catch up with the player, but the player's cavalry is in front, so naturally they can't touch the northern barbarian cavalry behind them.

But at this moment, Sheng Taizu speeded up!

The horsepower of the two sides is basically the same, but the northern barbarian cavalry controlled by the demon has already sprinted with all its strength before, and the player's cavalry did not use all its strength at the beginning, so the horsepower gap between the two sides has inadvertently widened.

Moreover, because the northern barbarian cavalry turned hastily, their formation was inevitably a little chaotic, which also slowed down their running speed even more.

At this time, Sheng Taizu led the players to accelerate suddenly, and circled a small circle directly inward, and instead came to the side and rear of the northern barbarian cavalry!

The whole process feels a bit similar to a dogfight of a fighter jet. In short, it is to create a speed advantage by distributing horsepower reasonably, and always strive to place itself behind the left side of the enemy.

Because for cavalry, the weakest position on the left rear.

And if our army can use the right front to face the enemy's left rear, it will naturally occupy a great advantage!

Sheng Taizu took the lead, pointed the spear in his hand at the back of one of the Northern Man heavy cavalrymen, and slammed it!
Although the heavy cavalry was on guard, he was unable to fight back at all at this time and was directly picked off.

Although it was wearing heavy armor, the shot would not kill it, but after all, it was in the cavalry. It first collided with a cavalry next to it, then fell to the ground and was knocked dizzy, and was stepped on twice by the cavalry behind. feet, and was dragged by the horse for a distance.

At the same time, the players raised their weapons and greeted the enemy on the front right!
Some were stabbed with long spears, some were hacked with waist knives, the scene was chaotic!
Naturally, the demons immediately noticed that the northern barbarian cavalry was in an awkward position where they were completely beaten up and had almost no power to fight back, so they also wanted to work hard to make the northern barbarian cavalry change their formation.

But the problem is that the player's cavalry has been tightly attached to it.

No matter which direction the northern barbarian cavalry ran, the cavalry of the players could also turn in the same direction, sticking to each other tightly.

It is also impossible to speed up and increase the distance, because there is no fundamental difference in horsepower between the two sides.

At this time, no matter how strong the fighting will of the northern barbarian cavalry under the control of the monster is, it will not help at all, because it is difficult for them to attack their left rear.

Fan Cun happily poked at these northern barbarian cavalrymen, and said in surprise: "It's still possible to do this?"

Sheng Taizu glanced at him, seeming to despise his ignorance: "This is just a basic cavalry strategy!"

Fan Cun asked curiously, "Then what if the opponent can also turn around?"

Before Sheng Taizu could speak, Zhao Haiping had already answered: "Nonsense, of course it's like an airplane dogfight. Everyone understands the principle, so we can only focus on speed and micromanipulation!"
