Hearing this, Li You nodded to express his understanding. By the way, he remembered that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was unable to defeat the Kushan Camel Cavalry in the Gobi desert, but he still asked, "Why can't they defeat them?"
"It's not that we can't beat them. Our defense is very reliable and the opponent is difficult to break. But in that place we may run slower than the infantry. We used to be slower than the former Taiwei's sharp warriors when they burst out. When we get there, On the other hand, we may be slower than other recruits, and we can't hit them at all, so we don't have much choice." Guo Si said helplessly.
After returning to Congling that time, Li Jue's Xiliang cavalry had achieved three talents and had new recruits, so he planned to take them for training. At that time, Li Jue felt that the Anxi-Roman battlefield was too scary, so he went south to fight the Kushan camel cavalry. Better.
Of course, on the surface there has never been any conflict between the Han Dynasty and the Guishangs. The camel riders were just bandits in the desert south of Congling, and Li Jue only went to help the Guishangs suppress the bandits.
After all, the last time they fought camel riders, they were almost 1 to 5. Li Jue felt that camel riders were good enough to train new recruits, so he took Xiliang Iron Cavalry south to find camel riders, and finally blocked them in the Gobi desert. After defeating Ward, they underestimated the opponent's combat effectiveness on suitable terrain. They failed to kill a few of the opponent's people, and more than 200 newcomers were killed.
Li Jue decisively ran away with his men, and it was better to rest in peace - the Roman battlefield was better. Flat, just one word, that is flat, desert Gobi or something like that, forget it, wait for the opponent to go to the plains before fighting, Xiliang Iron Cavalry is extremely defensive Even if it is high, it cannot withstand the opponent's terrain blessing.
Li You listened carefully to Guo Si's narration, and naturally thought about all the adjectives in it about "we are very cool, we are very cool. In fact, we can defeat each other, but the terrain is not suitable." After erasing all the adjectives, he came to the conclusion own conclusion.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry seems to be unable to beat the Kushan Desert Camel Riding in the Gobi Desert. Simplified, it seems to mean this.
Li You couldn't help but slowly sit up straight. After all, Xiliang Iron Cavalry was his crowning masterpiece. Although it plagiarized the Gyeonggi part of Sanhe Cavalry, the two parties had already completely parted ways at this point.
It can even be said that to the current level, except for the short legs, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is undoubtedly the most powerful among all types of elite cavalry in other aspects.
"Can't you beat him?" Li You squinted at Guo Bang, and Guo Bang felt a heavy pressure inexplicably.
"How is it possible that we can't beat them? When we beat the camel riders in the Kushan Desert, it's usually one to five, one for us, five for them..." Guo Bang shouted, patting his chest after hearing this. However, facing Li You's eyes, he became louder and louder. The younger I got, the harder it was to finally admit the truth.
"There's nothing we can do. They actually can't penetrate our defense at full strength, but they run very nimbly in the desert and are faster than on the plains, and their combat effectiveness is also enhanced to a certain extent." Guo Bang said helplessly. Admitted the fact.
In the desert, even the most elite Xiliang cavalry led by Li Jue and others could not defeat Kushan's elite desert camel cavalry. Of course, the opponent's most elite cavalry could not do anything. The strong defense could defeat Li Jue and others. Follow the opponent's attack to hit the opponent.
It's just that in the desert, the short-legged cavalry became completely disabled and could not hit the opponent at all. In this way, the war between the two sides became an unlimited defense against opponents who were basically unable to hit. In the end, the cavalry was forced to just Can go back.
In fact, from this aspect, it is natural for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to admit defeat. After all, their defense still has a time limit, and the speed and other advantages of desert camels riding in the desert will always exist.
"Based on your experience, what should you do to deal with this kind of legion?" Li You looked calm after listening. An invincible legion does not exist, as long as the universality is high enough.
"The sharp soldiers will cut down, and Danyang will be encircled and suppressed." Guo Si replied immediately. With the cooperation of the two arms of Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Xiliang Cavalry, in theory, you will not suffer any loss when facing any mixed arms. As for the lack of defensive arms, in fact This configuration does not require defense, just kill the opponent as soon as possible.
"As for Danyang, a new batch of Danyang elite soldiers will be released in July. There is no problem with this. The sharp soldiers are gone now." Li Youyang nodded. Guo Bang, a fool who came out of the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, Damn, just saying that the battlefield response experience is not bad.
"Without Rui Shi, we don't have the ability to pursue short-range kills." Guo Bang said with a sigh.
Relying on the powerful ten-stone bow, the Danyang elites actually have a considerable degree of long-range pursuit capabilities when fighting in the plains. However, due to the undulations in the terrain of the desert, the possibility of the bows and arrows being blocked is not small. Instead, the elites pursue directly. Be more realistic.
Speaking of this, I have to mention that the sharp warriors who can achieve seven consecutive kills are actually faster than the iron cavalry at the start and in short-range bursts, but these are short-range burst capabilities.
Others may not have the chance to see it, but Guo Si, a veteran of Xiliang who has been in Xiliang for more than twenty years, has really seen those Reeboks who were at their peak with twenty consecutive kills. He can run faster than the elite assault riders.
The infantry stabs with afterimages. I wonder if you are convinced or not. This type of unit can really make an infantryman rush up and kill the cavalry from behind. In addition, the attack power of this unit is so high that it can connect people with more than twelve cuts. He took the horse and chopped it down together.
But it is a pity that this unit has been defined as a consumable unit from the beginning. Although it is not so exaggerated that the defense is directly equivalent to negative like the white horse, in reality, the defense of the sharp warrior is about A few sheets of paper.
On most battlefields, survivability is actually more important than lethality. Although lethality is high to a certain extent, it will greatly benefit one's side in terms of scene and morale, but its fragile survivability cannot be achieved in certain battlefields. , there will also be a reverse weakening of morale.
In addition, a legion with weak survivability will have a problem of error tolerance when used on the battlefield, and may even be directly destroyed due to a momentary mistake. Therefore, although this kind of legion is a quite powerful legion, it is actually not very effective when used. It's pretty useful.
Just look at Cao Zhen and you will know that he was later caught and targeted with bows and arrows, and half of his reorganized legion was lost. Speaking of which, the fighting methods of Parthian and Roman archers were indeed very restrained by the sharp warriors. The arrow rain from these two countries was really... When the rain is falling.
Naturally, after looking at the survivability on the battlefield, Chen Xi deleted the Rui Shi unit because it was too brittle. Although its extremely high lethality and high frontal breakthrough capabilities all showed the necessity of this legion for war. sex.
However, due to its crispy texture, Chen Xi decided to give up on it after careful consideration. It looked like Duan Jiaqiong didn't even have the equipment, so he could only make it according to local conditions.
Now that we are rich, there is no need to choose this kind of combat method that seems to be filled with lives. Although this unit is low-cost, high-injury, and the training difficulty is not too high, the mortality rate on the battlefield is high, so it is better to give up. There is no need now That's it.
Even if Li You thinks it's a pity, after all, this elite is Li You's usual elite, but if Chen Xi wants to cross it out, Li You has no good way. After all, all the legions with high battlefield loss rates have been cut off, and Chen Xi We have already negotiated with Huangfu Song and will train an elite army with the same position later.
In view of such a guarantee, Li You doesn't care if Chen Xi kills the army. After all, there will be better ones, and Huangfu Song is still very guaranteed.
As for why the white horse with the worst defense has not been cut down, this involves another thing, that is, how valuable the white horse's defense is when the enemy's attack is basically impossible to hit. the practical question of meaning.
Therefore, although White Horse is one of the legions with the worst defense, its survivability, as long as its leader does not seek death, is actually one of the best among all legions. After all, White Horse also has a classic trick called Thirty-Six The best strategy is to move away!
"In this case, if there is only one Danyang, the best we can do in the desert is to be stable, but General Huangfu's guarantee is okay." Guo Si scratched his cheek and said.
Because the sharp soldiers wear cloth armor and their energy is hidden in their swords, their appearance is much different from their actual combat effectiveness.
What's even more disgusting is that the stronger the soldiers of this legion are, the more energy and spirit can be injected into the sword, so that as more energy and energy are injected into the sword, their appearance will be closer to that of a miscellaneous soldier.
Although there is a limit to this, a twenty-kill peak warrior is just like a veteran of an ordinary legion dawdling around without fighting, so in Liangzhou, this thing is very useful as a bait.
What Guo Si meant was to use such a legion as bait, and then wait for the opponent to get close and kill them directly.
"The elites have been eliminated, and Huangfu Yizhen is also trying to train more suitable elites." Li You said plainly, it has become an established fact, and it is meaningless to say it again.
By the way, Huangfu Song is now forced by Chen Xi to develop a new unit with the same positioning as the Rui Shi. Well, of course, this unit does not even have a follow-up.
After all, Rui Shi itself is an extreme unit. In addition to survivability, other aspects, whether it is explosive power, lethality, or battlefield positioning, are the optimal units created by Duan Jiong based on the situation at the time.
Although the situation at that time was mainly due to lack of money, so we went to such an extreme, but you can't deny that in close combat, most legions cannot beat the peak warriors, and the limit-breaking attack power of twenty consecutive cuts is still the same as that of today's shield guards. There is a possibility of being killed instantly.
Although it is only possible, as for the cost of the two, the cost of a shield guard is enough for Duan Yan to build a team of fifty warriors.
