If it were a frontal battlefield, none of Qin Feng's troops would be able to defeat the Snow Wolf Brigade alone. This cavalry, which has gathered all Beidi's efforts, is too elite...
Compared with war horses, armor and weapons, and these auxiliary equipment, the most terrifying thing is the combat experience of the Snow Wolf Brigade.
All members are veterans of many battles!
You must know that veterans on the battlefield, in terms of tactics, experience accumulation, and morale strength, are by no means comparable to recruits who have been training for a year and a half.
Qin Feng dared to look down upon the entire Liang Dynasty just by relying on the northern troops and horses. In the final analysis, Qin Feng relied on the combat experience of the northern troops and horses.
But in comparison, there are many gaps between the northern troops and the Snow Wolf Brigade.
Even Qin Feng could only rely on his armor advantage, combined with proper command, to smooth the gap and gain a slight advantage.
Moreover, as far as Qin Feng knows, although the Snow Wolf Brigade is as famous as the Eagle Brigade and is called the two sharpest swords in Beidi, there is still a big gap between the Snow Wolf Brigade and the Eagle Brigade in terms of combat effectiveness.
After all, in addition to the fact that all members are veterans, the weapons, equipment and horses of the Eagle Brigade are also the most elite in Beidi.
Even after a long war, many weapons and armor from the Tianji Battalion fell into the hands of Beidi. After research and copying, they have begun to be used on the Eagle Brigade.
Although there is a big gap between the imitation and the genuine product, it is enough to equal the disadvantages of many armors.
It can be said that what Qin Feng is least willing to face is the Eagle Brigade.
Knowing that either of the two elite cavalry, the Snow Wolf and the Eagle, could directly subvert a small country and have outstanding combat effectiveness, Qin Feng reduced these two cavalry to nothing.
Qin Feng wanted to create an illusion for the people of Beidi.
Even elite aces like Snow Wolf Eagle face Qin Feng and have only one way to die, completely giving up the idea of mobilizing troops.
"Brother Chen, the Snow Wolf Brigade may be elite, but they are cavalry after all. All cavalry inevitably have a fatal weakness: they are not good at defense."
"To put it bluntly, the cavalry's tactics of attack, harassment, cover, and insertion, in the final analysis, only have one word: move."
"If you move, you are the cavalry. If you cannot move, you are the target."
"As we all know, our Liang Kingdom's horses are not as good as Beidi's horses. Therefore, when Liang's cavalry fights against Beidi's cavalry, they are at a disadvantage in most cases."
"It is precisely because of this that our country, Liang, has developed a habit over the years. In any battle, we will never send out a single unit of arms. All battles will be a mixture of cavalry and infantry."
"It may not be as fast as your country, and it will lose its mobility, but accordingly, its defensive capabilities will be greatly improved."
"In any protracted war, advantages can be accumulated."
Regarding Qin Feng's explanation, Chen Si was thoughtful.
As Qin Feng said, it is too difficult to defeat Liang's mixed army with cavalry alone.
But even though he knew the weakness, Chen Si still firmly believed in cavalry fighting and would never change his thinking on combat.
The reason is simple. Chen Si has been in contact with Qin Feng for the longest time and understands Qin Feng best.
Qin Feng pointed out the weaknesses of Beidi's cavalry, simply because he wanted to create an inertial thinking in Beidi. If he wanted to eliminate the weaknesses, he must adopt the same tactical thinking as Liang's and change the cavalry-based combat method to one based on cavalry. Mixed combat with infantry as the main force and cavalry as the supplement.
On the surface, the devil is as tall as the Tao.
In fact, it made Beidi take the initiative to give up his biggest advantage.
Moreover, the Liang Kingdom has been a mixed force for hundreds of years, and they have cooperated in coordinated operations. They have already cooperated very well. It is not possible for Beidi to catch up with them just by reorganizing their army.
Coupled with training a large number of infantry, the military investment will be an astronomical figure.
For Dadi, whose national power is poor and weak, this is nothing more than adding insult to injury.
Therefore, if you want to dominate the Liang Kingdom militarily, there is only one way, which is to attack, attack again, and maximize the advantages of the cavalry.
Chen Si slowly raised his head, his keen eyes fell on Qin Feng, and he actually laughed.
"In the final analysis, the Marquis of Qin is hinting to me that cavalry alone cannot support Sangzhou. I should give up my military illusions and use political means to resolve the dispute in Sangzhou, right?"
exactly!
Qin Feng sighed in his heart, as expected of Chen Si, who directly grasped the key points of the Sangzhou Rebellion.
But since Chen Si asked this, it means that he will definitely not follow the path preset by Qin Feng, and will only become more determined in the military game.
Qin Feng immediately gave Chen Si the last punch: "The two countries have been at war for a long time."
"Although Beidi is dominated by cavalry, after so many years of fighting, Beidi has always had the upper hand."
"After all, the cavalry does not need to attack the city. It only needs to pass through the city, quickly penetrate the city, plunder the land, and finally trap those cities that are stubbornly resisting to death."
"This tactic is simple and efficient!"
"But Brother Chen, please remember that Daliang emphasizes culture over military power and has a weak military, so Beidi can gain the upper hand."
"If Brother Chen feels that he can still gain the upper hand under the guard of my northern troops, then you can give it a try."
Chen Si's heart thumped. He had ignored this point, which was also the most important point.
The soldiers and horses of Liang State and the soldiers and horses of Liang State's northern border are completely two concepts.
The main force of the Liang Kingdom was either controlled by the wealthy families in the southern border or the Central Plains imperial party, consolidating the Central Plains and defending the southern border. After years of confrontation with almost no fighting, the two sides have long since smoothed over their hostility.
It is precisely for this reason that Beidi generals generally look down on Liang generals, thinking that they are just embroidered pillows that will break with a poke.
But the northern troops and horses under Qin Feng were completely different.
These soldiers and horses have all been tempered by the flames of war. Although they are not experienced in hundreds of battles, they are still veterans, loyal to Qin Feng, and have strong morale.
The most important point is that under the influence of Qin Feng, he took the lead and charged several times.
The soldiers and horses in the north are brave enough to fight and kill.
As the old saying goes, if a soldier is raging, a general will be raging in a nest.
As long as Beidi repeats his old tactics of using cavalry to infiltrate and plunder the ground to encircle, there will only be one outcome waiting for Beidi, which is to block everywhere, blossom everywhere, and be directly dragged into a desperate situation of all-out combat.
The sources of soldiers, food and grass will all be cut off, and there will be no way to support the supply.
At that time, it will not be Beidi who protects Qin Feng, but Qin Feng who will protect Beidi!
As a general, Chen Si knew very well that even if he knew it was difficult or even impossible to defeat, he could never show the slightest fear.
He took a deep breath and said resolutely: "If the chaos continues in Sangzhou, we will have nothing to do without sending troops."
"Qin Feng, you have to understand that in some wars, it doesn't matter whether you can win or not, but you have to fight even if you know you will die."
