The quality of Dakang's Imperial Guard sergeants is still relatively high. After discovering their own problems, although it is not clear whether Liang An discovered it accidentally or how he discovered it, they pointed out the problem for themselves, and they humbly accepted it and stood beside them. Supporting his body, he waited for Liang An to continue his teaching.
Liang An watched them start talking again after realizing what they had done wrong in the first place.
"One more thing, why did you dig such a trap?"
After Liang An finished speaking, he waited for everyone's answer, but no soldier had the courage to step forward and speak. They were afraid that if they said something wrong, they would make others laugh. However, Li Chun was not so worried and spoke hurriedly after Liang An asked.
"Of course the purpose of digging pits is to better eliminate the enemy."
"Yes, in order to destroy the enemy. And it is impossible to dig the trap too deep in a short time."
At this moment, everyone looked at Liang An in confusion.
"Since there is no need to dig the wire pit too deep, but should we dig it deep or shallow?"
Liang An looked at them all waiting for his answer and said hurriedly.
“Actually, the trap you dig depends on what kind of enemy you are targeting.
If it is an ordinary infantry, it will be a little shallower, and some sharpened wood should be buried in the pit.
As long as the enemy falls down, he will definitely dig a hole covered in blood. "
Liang An's words shocked everyone.
yes!
Why didn't they think of digging pits and inserting some spikes into them, so that the enemy would fall down?
Tsk tsk.
They didn't even need to take action in that scene, and the enemy was already dead.
Seeing everyone nodding in agreement, Liang An continued to speak.
"Those who ride war horses need to dig deeper. It's not to prevent the war horses and cavalry from climbing up, but to dig the pit deeper first so that they can bury the long spikes and bury the cavalry's horses and cavalry. The cavalry also inserts a bloody gourd."
That makes sense.
Liang Aner looked at everyone like this and continued talking.
"To deal with infantry, the pit does not need to be too wide, but the distance covered by the cavalry's speed is long, so it must be wide.
Moreover, cavalry charges are not as easy to stop as infantry charges. You can dig this trap as deep as you can. Maybe the spikes you bury are long enough, and you may string several cavalrymen together. "
Another incredible way to fight against cavalry.
Li Chun couldn't help but gear up.
"Why didn't we think of using traps to deal with the enemy's cavalry before? We used our flesh and blood to form dense formations every day to fight against the enemy's oncoming cavalry.
Although we contained the enemy's cavalry charge, many brothers secretly resented the situation. "
Li Chun felt a little heartbroken when he said it, and Liang An looked at him, "Actually, there are many ways to fight against the cavalry."
The decadent Li Chun looked at Liang An instantly.
Is there any way?
"Mr. Jiang, don't you know what kind of solution there is?"
Liang An then pointed at the soldiers in front.
"Brother, I see you use a spear. Can you lend me your spear?"
Liang An didn't pay attention to the soldier's different eyes at all. Why do you, a scholar, use a spear?
Although the soldier was puzzled, he immediately brought his spear to Liang An and handed it to Liang An, and Liang An waved the spear in his hand.
"Have you seen it? As long as you modify it a little bit, this spear will be invincible against cavalry."
"Uh, how to modify it?"
Everyone was looking at Liang An, and Liang An hurriedly drew a semicircle with his hand next to the spear.
"What if we add another hook here? What is the most important thing about cavalry?"
Liang An answered his own question, "Of course it's a war horse, and it's a bit difficult to kill a war horse with one blow when we go to battle, but do you think it's difficult to hurt his horse's leg?"
As long as the war horse hurts its leg and stumbles, maybe the cavalry on the horse will fall down and be trampled by the war horse or become a gourd with the war horse without you taking action. Aren't you going to slaughter him at that time? "
"That makes sense."
Suddenly Meng Guangyi's voice sounded next to him, and Meng Guangyi looked at Liang An.
"Your design is really wonderful. Add a curved hook to the gun. It is similar to a halberd. As long as we train a group of halberd warriors, we can dare to fight the cavalry head-on."
Liang An looked a little puzzled when he saw Meng Guangyi talking happily.
"Aren't you sick?"
"I feel better."
Meng Guangyi patted his chest to prove that he was great, while Liang An spread his hands helplessly.
"Now that you're fine, I'll continue teaching."
"Keep going, just mind you."
Now Liang An came up with another way to deal with the cavalry. All the imperial soldiers looked at Liang An and their eyes lit up, and Liang An continued to talk.
"Actually, although I, Dakang, don't have any war horses, I can still use them together."
Another unexpected exclamation came from Liang An.
"Cavalry? Mr. Liang, I have a question."
One of the Imperial Guards soldiers spoke boldly in front of Liang An.
"I, Dakang, once used such a combination of cavalry to compete with the Khitan cavalry, but our horses were too small, slow and carried little, and we could not catch up with them.
They are no match for a head-on collision. Our people are a bit shorter than them. We are like infantry fighting cavalry. We can only take a slight advantage against some tribes. "
"I didn't ask you to use such cavalry to form a cavalry formation to attack the Khitan cavalry."
After Liang An just finished speaking, everyone was even more curious.
Since the cavalry is not used to form a cavalry formation to fight against the cavalry, then what is the purpose of using the cavalry?
Liang An chuckled.
"Have you ever heard of a chain-link ship?"
"No?"
Everyone shook their heads hastily, but Liang An reacted instantly.
Yes, I would tell Meng Guangyi and Li Chun "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from time to time, forgetting that such a thing had never happened in Dakang where he lived.
Then Liang An said, "You can fasten all the war horses together with iron chains and line them up in a line, and rush forward with the enemy's cavalry. The enemy's cavalry wants to cross the line formed by the horses. What do you think? Is it easy?"
"Push a line over and connect them with iron chains. Not only can it block the enemy's cavalry charge, but it can also effectively block the enemy's cavalry. When we shoot them with bows and arrows, it is another good way to attack the cavalry. .”
Meng Guangyi instantly understood what Liang An meant and hurriedly expressed his thoughts. At this moment, the eyes of the Imperial Guards soldiers shone brightly.
They finally found a way to defeat the Khitan cavalry that had been riding on their heads and making them uncomfortable, and it was effective.
But when it came to bow and arrow injuries, Liang An looked at them doubtfully, "Didn't our Dakang army consider forming a crossbow formation?"
Tens of thousands of soldiers armed with crossbows kept shooting sharp arrows. Under such circumstances, they could still block the enemy. "
But as soon as Liang An finished speaking, Meng Guangyi sighed.
"We have tried this method before, but the enemy dispatched heavy armored cavalry in that battle. Although some of them were shot and killed, more heavy armored cavalry rushed into our military training. The result was a disastrous failure."
That's it!
Liang An couldn't help but think of that scene, the scene where the flesh and blood of many wealthy men formed a crossbow formation to attack the Khitan heavy cavalry.
They had the upper hand at first, but when numerous Khitan cavalry charged in front of the archers' formation, the archers were helpless.
Although the closer the distance, the more lethal the bow and arrow is. But once chaos breaks out, who can stabilize the situation?
Liang An sighed helplessly.
"I'd like to reiterate that this is just an argument on paper. Will it be useful? We still need to explore more on the battlefield. But that's too far away. Let's continue talking about the pitfalls. After all, today I want to talk about these pitfalls with you. function."
Soon, Liang An put the unpleasant reading behind him and began to explain the use of traps seriously.
Focus on explaining how to set up some simple traps in conjunction with the line pit.
When the ropes were placed on the ground one after another, everyone saw that these simple ropes were slightly covered. As long as someone walked up, they would be hung in the air or dragged directly into the wire pit. They couldn't help but watch Liang An. I'm a little scared.
Is this something the human mind can come up with? Such an exquisite arrangement is really incredible.
