"It can be used." Le Cheng was silent for a moment and then said.
In Le Cheng's view, the cavalry of Wei and Zhao were far behind.
First of all, there is a huge gap in the number of soldiers. Since the Zhao State began to ride and shoot with Hu Fu, horseback riding has quickly become popular among young people. In addition, the Zhao State often fights with the Hu people, and everyone instinctively learns to ride horses. "The people despise it." Pu, less civilized and good at shooting and hunting. , with a little training, they can become an elite cavalry.
The Wei State is located in the Central Plains, and people are not familiar with horseback riding. Everyone prefers to drive a carriage.
Secondly, war horses. When the Wei State owned Hexi and Hedong, not only could they raise horses themselves, but they could also obtain some fine war horses from the Hu people. Later, when they were shrinking in the Central Plains, war horses could basically only be obtained from the Zhao State.
Although the war horses that Zhao State sold to Wei State were not the worst, they could not be the best either. Zhao State kept the best ones for itself.
Then there is the time, all calculations are made, the cavalry of Wei State only needs more than eight months to train. Even if they have saddles and stirrups, such a short time is not enough to train elite cavalry.
Finally, there is another point. The reason why Zhao's cavalry was able to rise was because of King Zhao Wuling's Hufu cavalry and shooting.
The so-called Hufu refers to the clothing of short clothes, tight sleeves and long trousers.
In the past, the clothing of Zhao State was the traditional large robe of the Central Plains. This kind of clothing was very inconvenient when riding on horseback.
And when fighting on horseback wearing Hufu, the movements are very flexible and convenient. He can shoot bows and arrows with ease, run back and forth with speed and agility.
Even though the customs of the State of Zhao were already very open, when King Zhao Wuling first reformed, he still encountered strong opposition from the vast majority of the nobles, with only a few supporting it.
In the end, King Wuling of Zhao took the lead and took the lead in wearing Hu clothing. This was the success of the reform. Everyone in the Zhao Kingdom, from nobles to common people, from the military to the civilian population, changed to wearing Hu clothing. It changed people's traditional concepts and impacted traditional ethics.
But the people of the Wei State are much more stubborn than the Zhao State. In their minds, Hufu is worn by barbarians and low-class people. How can we, the Central Plains Kingdom, a land of etiquette, wear such clothes?
In the end, Hufu could not be implemented not only among the people, but also among the military. Many people would rather endure all kinds of discomfort and wear long, wide-sleeved clothes.
When getting on the horse, you have to lift your clothes up to the waist before you can turn over and get on the horse. Moreover, you always feel like you are being strangled while riding on the horse.
When running, the wind fills the wide sleeves, which seriously affects the speed, stability, and the hit rate of the bow and arrow.
What makes Le Cheng angry is that this group of old diehards are not only unwilling to make changes themselves, but also laugh at other people who make changes and call them barbarians.
Some soldiers from poor families didn't care about this at first. After being despised, they could only return to their previous service.
Le Cheng was powerless against this group of people. He deeply felt that Wei would not be able to produce elite cavalry in eight months, let alone eight months.
He once told the King of Wei about this matter, but the King of Wei did not have the courage of King Zhao Wuling. Faced with the opposition of the entire army, he could only say: "I think this is good, so let's train like this."
What else can Lecheng say? As long as you feel good about it, it has nothing to do with me anyway. I will withdraw in a few months. ….
On the other hand, the Qin State, a barbarian, deserved to be part of the same family as the Zhao State eight hundred years ago. They used whatever good things they saw and saw the results of the Zhao State's reforms, and immediately began to learn and popularize Hufu in the army.
As for feudal ethics? What is that? never heard of that.
Le Cheng thought of Zhao Kuo's instructions, and his heart moved, and he continued, "If the King of Wei wants to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry, the foreign minister has a way."
"Oh? General, please tell me." King Wei's eyes lit up and he said earnestly.
"Fight!" Le Cheng waved his fist and said, "The reason why our Zhao cavalry is strong is, firstly, because of the Hufu riding and shooting, secondly, because of the stirrups and saddles, and thirdly, because of the rich combat experience. Although Wei has They have stirrups and saddles, but the soldiers are unwilling to fight in Hu uniforms, and their combat effectiveness will never be improved."
"But it's different on the battlefield. Everyone has the instinct to save their lives. When they find themselves wearing Hu uniforms,
The Qin army was more powerful than them, and the loose robes would affect their combat capabilities, causing them to be injured or even killed in battle, so they would consciously wear Hu clothes. "
The battlefield is the best teacher. They don't listen to their own words, and they don't listen to King Wei's words either.
Le Cheng didn't believe it. The enemy's butcher's knife was already at his neck. How could they not listen?
There may be some people who would rather die than change to wear Hu clothes, but Le Cheng believes that such people are in the minority after all, and such people will stay on the battlefield forever.
The rest will obey his orders obediently.
"What the general said is absolutely true, the battlefield is the best teacher!" King Wei slapped his thigh fiercely, and now he had another reason to attack Qin!
The King of Wei clenched his fists and looked firmly to the west. There was Liang County, which had been burned by the Qin State, and it was also the Qin State. "I want to raise an army to attack the Qin State and regain Hexi. What can the three generals teach me?"
"You will never give up even if you die." Jin Bi immediately said with his fists clasped.
The murderous figure flashed through Mang Mao's mind, and his body couldn't help but shudder. After a few breaths, his fighting spirit gradually replaced his fear, and he cupped his hands and said, "I will obey the king's order."
Finally, King Wei looked at Lecheng.
"The king asked the foreign ministers to listen to the king of Wei while they were in Wei." Le Cheng said.
Hearing what Le Cheng said, King Wei was a little disappointed. Even though he tried to win over him in every possible way, Le Cheng was still lukewarm and unwilling to join the Wei state.
"Send an order to recruit 200,000 soldiers from now on. The day Fan Qing returns from his mission to Chu and South Korea will be the time to attack Qin." King Wei ordered loudly.
…
On the road from Handan to Daijun, neat troops moved slowly northward.
Horse hooves clattered, and the scouts on both sides rushed back and forth to convey the order to the entire army. Even in the hinterland of Zhao State, Zhao Jun still did not relax at all.
Caravans and pedestrians waited quietly on the roadside. According to regulations, the road is owned by the state and is usually open to the public. However, in special circumstances, such as marching or war spreading to the territory of Zhao State, the roads will be closed and only allowed to be used by the government.
Naturally, the people have no opinions and dare not have any opinions.
Everyone looked at Zhao Jun with some fear and some pride. Whenever someone familiar passed by, they would jump up, excitedly point the person to the people next to them, and shout and say a few words. encouraging words.
Others craned their necks to see if they knew anyone.
When Zhao Kuo and his generals passed by them on horseback, deafening exclamations could be heard from both sides of the road.
There were even strong men who prepared their own horses and weapons and asked to join the army to fight against the barbarians.
Zhao people are never afraid of fighting!
