"Ding, Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry Blood Killing Skill Effect 2 is activated. The combat power, morale, speed... of the current Mongolian army will be greatly reduced."
To deal with opponents like Temujin, Li Xiang would naturally bring out sharp weapons like the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry. To be honest, Li Xiang was also shocked when he first saw Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry. The Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry are not eighteen soldiers. With such force, they are enough to be a low-level general.
Yan Yi, the strongest among Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry, has reached a super first-rate level of strength, with a basic strength of just 91 points. Among the remaining 17 people, they are not much different from Yan Yi, and their martial arts have all reached the peak of first-class strength, that is, their basic martial arts has reached 90.
However, the skill of Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry seems to be specially developed for killing soldiers. If Yanyun's Eighteen Cavalry is used on fighting generals, then this blood-killing skill will be useless.
This blood-killing skill, even if all its effects are fully stacked, is only worth more than 900 people.
More than nine hundred people may seem like a lot, but when eighteen people work together, the average number distributed per person is not so scary.
And if all the effects of this blood-killing skill are activated, then the force of Yanyun's eighteen cavalry will all explode to a level of more than 100, and with this level of force, it will be easy to deal with some small soldiers.
It’s no wonder that in the original work, Luo Yi was able to take Yanyun’s Eighteen Cavalry as the vanguard, followed by thousands of cavalry, and defeated the Turks. He went deep into the grassland to pursue the Turkic Liao tribe’s garrison, killing all the tens of thousands of men, women, and children in the Turkic Liao tribe. , leave no one behind.
However, compared to the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, the galloping Mongolian army made Li Xiang's expression become serious.
In the past, the nomadic peoples, even the Southern Huns with Wanyan Aguda, except for the very few specially formed elites, were just a ragtag group with no discipline at all.
The reason why these nomadic peoples on the grasslands could constantly pose a threat to the Central Plains Dynasty was mainly due to the physical fitness of these grassland personnel and their superiority in cavalry.
But the Mongolian army in front of him made Li Xiang's eyes fixed. The movements of this Mongolian army were almost uniform. Everyone obeyed orders and was rigorous. It could be said to be worlds apart from other grassland armies that Li Xiang had seen before. The difference.
From this moment, Li Xiang knew that Temujin had begun to develop his army into the invincible Yuanmeng cavalry in original history.
The Mongolian cavalry in official history was a well-trained, disciplined, tactically flexible, wise and courageous, and formidable whirlwind force in the Middle Ages. Created by Genghis Khan in the 13th century and maintained by his successors as a cavalry force, the Mongol cavalry were free from the constraints of traditional European military ideas and established a magnificent empire, the Mongol Empire.
They are physically strong and can adapt to the needs of battle; they can turn around and shoot the enemies following them when retreating quickly; they can endure hardship and harsh climate conditions, and do not covet comfort and delicious food. What cannot be ignored is that the strict discipline system formed during the training process made them all obey orders and be rigorous, which was unheard of in other armies in the Middle Ages.
In original history, the main component of the Mongolian army was cavalry, and the Mongolian cavalry was indeed world-famous.
Generally speaking, the distinction between light and heavy cavalry is based on how they are used.
About 40% of the typical Mongolian cavalry are heavy cavalry engaged in assault operations. They were covered in armor. The armor was usually covered with leather on the inside and scale armor, pierced armor or chain mail on the outside. In the later period, a large number of chain plate armors were used, and helmets were worn on their heads.
In the early days, the horses ridden by Mongolian heavy cavalry were unarmored or covered with a small amount of leather armor. Some elite troops and generals were equipped with armored cavalry. Later, a large number of armored heavy cavalry appeared using full sets of metal armor.
The main weapon of the heavy cavalry is a spear. Each soldier also carries a scimitar or a mace, which is hung on the waist or placed on the saddle.
Light cavalry accounted for 60% of the Mongolian cavalry. In the early days, they generally only wore helmets and did not wear armor or leather armor. As the equipment improved, the armor of the light cavalry gradually changed into metal armor or leather armor. Later, they even appeared. A fully equipped cavalry archer.
The mission of the light cavalry is to conduct reconnaissance, cover, attack from both sides, provide fire support to the heavy cavalry, intersperse and separate enemy forces, clear out remaining enemies at the end of the battle, and track and pursue fleeing enemies.
Their main weapon is the relatively modern compound bow. This compound bow is extremely powerful, requires at least 150 pounds of draw weight, and has a shooting range of 4,000 to 7,000 yards. They carry two kinds of arrows, one is light, with small and pointed arrowheads, used for long range shooting, the other is heavier, with large and wide arrowheads, used for close combat. Like the heavy cavalry, they had a saber or mace, or a lasso, and sometimes a javelin or lance with a hook on the head.
Of course, although the Mongolian cavalry in front of them is also highly disciplined, it is still far behind the Yuan-Meng cavalry more than a thousand years later.
The Yuanmeng knights in original history were all sent to schools in the Gobi Desert from the age of three or four to undergo rigorous horseback riding and archery training, so they had amazing abilities in controlling horses and using weapons.
In this world, Temujin only had three years to develop, so this was naturally impossible to achieve. Therefore, this Mongolian cavalry is naturally far inferior to the real Yuan-Meng cavalry.
However, today's scene can be regarded as a wake-up call for Li Xiang. It seems that Li Xiang will find a way to restrain Temujin's development in the future. After all, if Li Xiang's plan goes well, it will not be Wanyan Aguda who will be neighbor to Temujin in the future, but Li Xiang.
Having made up his mind, Li Xiang knew that he would try his best to block the flow between the grassland and the Central Plains in the future. Grassland resources are scarce. As long as Temujin's pig iron channels are blocked and Temujin's heavy cavalry cannot be assembled, half of Temujin's Mongolian cavalry will be directly eliminated.
As for the modern crossbows used by the Yuan and Mongolian cavalry in the original history, Li Xiang was not worried. With the technology of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was impossible to create them.
