Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 65 Head-to-head confrontation
The cavalry led by Xiang Yu fought fiercely with these Qiang cavalry. Although under normal circumstances, the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not as capable as these Qiang cavalry. There are several reasons for this. One is that the Qiang and the Huns are both horses The people on the back have been inseparable from horse riding in their daily life since childhood, so they are very proficient in riding horses, and they have even been imprinted into their genes.

Therefore, the Qiang cavalry often do not need to undergo some special training to have quite powerful combat capabilities, and they are often familiar with each other, and it is easy to form groups that can support each other on the battlefield. , and this is actually very important, especially the cavalry often need to face more chaotic battlefield situations, it is very important to have reliable people around as their flanks, which can help the cavalry to obtain stronger combat continuity ability.

In addition, if it is really necessary to conduct special training for these assembled Qiang cavalry, the place where they live is more suitable for large-scale cavalry raid training, which is also difficult for many Han cavalry to do during training.

But the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not completely useless. They actually had advantages in some aspects. First of all, the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty had certain advantages in weapons and armor equipment. Of course, in order to maintain maximum mobility, the Qiang cavalry The armor rate is often very low, and some cavalry in the Eastern Han Dynasty have a much higher armor rate. Of course, in the actual combat process, sometimes the importance of mobility is far more important than defense.

The cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty has another advantage, that is, the execution ability on the battlefield. This is not to say that the execution ability of the Qiang cavalry itself is not good, but because the natural character of the Qiang people is more free and unrestrained, so They are less disciplined on the battlefield, and the cavalry of the Eastern Han Dynasty received strict military training. As long as they have very powerful generals, their combat effectiveness can be stronger than that of the Qiang cavalry.

The reason why the Qiang people let Bian Zhang and Han Sui become their commanders is also because their own commanding ability is lacking, so they hope to use the leadership of Bian Zhang and Han Sui. In fact, many Qiang people The generals are all purely reckless, and it is quite powerful to charge into battle relying on their own bravery, but when they meet someone like Xiang Yu who has both bravery and commanding ability, they naturally can't take advantage of it.

The Qiang cavalry seems to be trying to encircle Xiang Yu's cavalry from several directions at the same time by virtue of their superiority in numbers, but in the actual execution process, it appears to be quite chaotic, some cavalry is too fast, and some cavalry The cavalry is too slow, which also leads to a relative disconnect between their cavalry teams.

On the other hand, the cavalry under Xiang Yu's command, even in the face of the enemy's encirclement, was still able to maintain a stable formation and strictly implement the orders issued by Xiang Yu. Of course, on this actual battlefield, Xiang Yu would not He may command all his subordinates anytime and anywhere, but he will gather the soldiers together before the battle, and deploy combat plans to the soldiers in some very concise ways.

Some combat situations are arranged by Xiang Yu in advance, while others are temporarily changed by Xiang Yu on the battlefield. The very important point is that when Xiang Yu charges at the forefront, the cavalry behind him need to keep up with Xiang Yu at all times And many of Xiang Yu's on-the-spot commands also need to be conveyed through the cavalry behind him who are closest to him.

Therefore, the role of these cavalry behind Xiang Yu is extremely great. For Xiang Yu, this part of the cavalry will be selected very strictly to ensure that they have enough ability to complete the tasks assigned to them by Xiang Yu. Of course, this part of the most elite cavalry It is often the one who gets the most rewards at the end, and Xiang Yu is able to distinguish rewards and punishments every time in battle.

Any soldier who charges bravely has the opportunity to be promoted, get better weapons and equipment, and get priority loot, while those who run away during the battle and slack soldiers will be punished by Xiang Yu, and Xiang Yu usually executes it himself These rewards and punishments allow him to gain the greatest prestige in the army.

And Xiang Yu also behaved very stern and selfless, even if there are some soldiers who usually have a good private relationship with Xiang Yu, as long as they make mistakes, Xiang Yu will punish them mercilessly.

In this way, some soldiers under Xiang Yu gained a lot after fighting with Xiang Yu for several times, and they also admired and admired Xiang Yu more and more. They didn't look very young at first glance, but they didn't realize that Xiang Yu's real strength was beyond imagination after they actually got to the battlefield, possessing a sophistication and composure that didn't match his age at all.

It can be said that Xiang Yu gradually embodies a kind of self-confidence and toughness brought out from his bones. He will never be easily affected by the surrounding environment, but can use his own strong strength to influence the surrounding environment, turning some unsightly Turning a situation that is beneficial to oneself into a situation that is beneficial to oneself is a kind of power that turns decay into magic.

Although the siege tactics of the Qiang cavalry were very good, they obviously underestimated the strength of the [-] elite cavalry under Xiang Yu. Many of them were veterans who had fought several battles with Xiang Yu. They knew they had to survive on the battlefield The only way is to follow closely behind Xiang Yu, bring out his greatest potential, and try his best to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds.

After the Qiang cavalry clashed with Xiang Yu's cavalry, they soon realized how powerful the team they were facing was. The cavalry under his command had practiced a defensive method on the battlefield against the charge of cavalry from the flanking enemy.

In fact, the core point of this is not how brilliant the skills are, but the need for absolutely strict battlefield discipline, because although the soldiers on the battlefield are scattered, they will eventually form combat teams one by one, and the teams will form again. Larger troops, no matter how large a battlefield machine, are made up of these soldier-unit components.

Only when these parts fit together closely enough can they not disintegrate in the face of external attacks and pressures. Therefore, Xiang Yu emphasized the importance of military formation and military discipline the most during the training process.

At this time, Xiang Yu and the elite cavalry rushing to the front were like the arrows of a crossbow arrow, piercing the enemy's core at a very fast speed, and the Qiang cavalry scattered to try to encircle them. Xiang Yu's troops, but they also made the entire team's troops too scattered. When facing Xiang Yu's onslaught, a hole in the battlefield was quickly torn open.
