The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 420 Discussing Heavy Cavalry

"Such a powerful army can sweep the world!"

With [-] heavy cavalry, one charge wiped out [-] elite enemy troops. Compared with the enemy casualties, their own casualties were completely negligible. What a big victory, it made a group of generals feel blood boil.

"Although the heavy cavalry is strong, they must be invincible."

It was General Zhang Liao who spoke. He had calmed down and began to think about the advantages and disadvantages of heavy cavalry. Obviously, he found some shortcomings of heavy cavalry that he could take advantage of.

"If there are [-] heavy cavalry, who can stop them?" Candidates for generals valued heavy cavalry very much, because the scene just now was too spectacular, too exciting, and the results were brilliant, the facts were right in front of them.

"Discuss this matter after the war, and clear the battlefield quickly." Chen Ziming waved his hand, telling the candidates and Zhang Liao to stop arguing, because he saw that Cao Hong had left the battlefield with the remnants of his troops, and Zhang Fei's heavy cavalry had stopped, unable to pursue them. .

"Report to the Prime Minister, the enemy general Cao Hong has entered Shangdang City with his remnants. Now the gate of Shangdang City is closed, and the battle is ready."

Not long after Zhang Fei finished his team and returned to the team, the latest news from Cao Hong came.

"Prime Minister, since the heavy cavalry commanded by General Zhang is so good, why didn't you send troops to swindle Shangdang before the battle? If I went to Shangdang, I would swindle the city gate and take down Shangdang City." Ma Chaoke Not a fierce man, he has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and has been fighting with Ma Teng all year round.

"Don't care about the gains and losses of a city or a place." Chen Ziming said softly: "Although Shangdang is an important place, it is not a city that is also defended. Now it is difficult for us to mobilize a large army. It is not very useful to seize Shangdang, but we can borrow Shangdang. Live in Cao Hong so that we can act."

In fact, Chen Ziming also thought about taking down Shangdang City, but after thinking about it carefully, Shangdang is not so easy to take down. There are more than 1 Cao troops in Shangdang City, and Cao Hong must be prepared, and he will not be like Ma Chao said. It is easy to cheat to open the city gate.

"Third brother, how long will it take for your department to be repaired?" Chen Ziming looked at the satisfied Zhang Fei.

"This..." Asked by Chen Ziming, Zhang Fei put away his complacent expression, and said in a slightly weak voice: "We can fight again in three to five days."

Seeing Zhang Fei like this, Chen Ziming immediately understood that there was a big discrepancy in what Zhang Fei said. After three to five days, there might not be many heavy cavalry available.

"General Zhang, I saw that in today's battle, heavy cavalry casualties were not large, why did it take three to five days?" Pang De asked Zhang Fei suspiciously.

"Hey." Before Zhang Fei could answer, Chen Ziming shook his head lightly and said first, "It would be great if we can fight in three to five days."

"You only see that the heavy cavalry is fierce and brave, but you don't see its weakness." Seeing that all the generals looked at it, Chen Ziming continued: "The heavy cavalry is full of strong armor, and it is difficult to be hurt by spears and arrows. If they charge collectively, no one can stop them. "

"But heavy cavalry need to wear heavy armor, and the same is true for war horses. Therefore, both soldiers and horses are required to be strong and strong, and they must wear heavy armor. If they charge quickly, they will cause great damage to the body. People will turn their backs on their backs, and both will die in battle."

"You can also see that the charge of heavy cavalry consumes a lot of physical energy, especially war horses. After a violent charge, the horse's body will be damaged, and many war horses can no longer be used. Therefore, after this battle, the heavy cavalry has three It will be difficult to fight again in five days."

Chen Ziming directly denied Zhang Fei's so-called recovery in three to five days. For Zhang Fei, a humanoid beast, a charge was nothing at all, but those ordinary heavy cavalry were not good enough. war.

"That's the case, heavy cavalry should be used." Hearing Chen Ziming's words, Ma Dai felt that heavy cavalry was invincible. Even if cavalry was against cavalry, heavy cavalry could completely crush light cavalry.

"Although the heavy cavalry is strong, it has three major shortcomings. It is not difficult to break through. I can guarantee that if the heavy cavalry is used to charge Cao Hong's army next time, the heavy cavalry will be defeated." Chen Ziming saw that most of the generals valued the heavy cavalry. It was too heavy, and I felt that I had to remind them.

Moreover, although it took a lot of money to form a heavy cavalry, with Cao Cao's background, it is not a problem to get a few heavy cavalry. Now that the heavy cavalry's terrifying combat power has been demonstrated, the secrecy has been lost. There is no patent protection here.

Chen Ziming continued: "First, heavy cavalry costs a lot of money and consumes a lot, and it is difficult to form a large number of them. Second, heavy cavalry has high requirements on the battlefield. Simply put, in order to exert the powerful attack power of heavy cavalry, it needs to be flat enough. Charge in a spacious area. Thirdly, heavy cavalry has great shortcomings and is very easy to be wiped out by the enemy."

"Nowadays, the heavy cavalry will be valued by the enemy to show their sharpness, and then form the same heavy cavalry, and they will come up with effective ways to deal with the heavy cavalry, so the use of heavy cavalry must be cautious." Chen Ziming repeatedly warned the general, absolutely not Rely too much on heavy cavalry, and don't expect too much from heavy cavalry.

"Heavy cavalry is used well, and it will achieve amazing results. For example, today's battle, when recorded in history, is a classic battle used by heavy cavalry. However, heavy cavalry has very high logistical requirements and is inconvenient to move. To be ambushed by the enemy is to be defeated."

"In the future, on the battlefield, if you are not absolutely sure, you must not use the heavy cavalry to charge lightly, and you must not expose the position of the heavy cavalry at will. If Cao Hong first learned of the existence and combat power of the heavy cavalry today, he would definitely not confront us head-on. In the decisive battle, look for mountains and besiege us."

"It is also easy to resist the charge of the heavy cavalry on the plain. For example, if a small ditch is dug in front of the army formation, the heavy cavalry will not dare to charge. .”

As soon as Chen Ziming finished speaking, all the generals gasped, especially Zhang Fei, who glared fiercely at Chen Ziming. The heavy cavalry was his treasure. If Cao Hong, like Chen Ziming said today, ambushed a trench Well, his five thousand heavy cavalry couldn't even touch the enemy's body, so he had to tell himself that he was trampled to death, crushed to death.

Thinking of this scene, the generals also shuddered. It is conceivable that five thousand heavy cavalry charged rapidly. There is no way to stop the collision, and how many heavy cavalry can survive without the enemy's action.

"There are many ways to deal with heavy cavalry. You can use corresponding methods to destroy heavy cavalry according to their shortcomings, but you must not underestimate the power of heavy cavalry. If heavy cavalry is used well, one enemy can be effective against a hundred." Ruo Guo Heavy cavalry It's really useless, and Chen Ziming will not spend huge sums of money to form heavy cavalry.

Whether it is strong or not depends on how to use it. There is no inherent weakness or strength, only right and wrong. Commanders are very important, so Chen Ziming attaches great importance to the training of generals at all levels.
