【Clear the level!】

[Evaluation of clearance: I believe that after this simple trial, you will understand that "cavalry" is by no means just infantry on horseback. The reason why it can rule the entire cold weapon era has more profound meanings. 】

Zhao Haiping couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

Success!

It's not easy.

This time, it took eight days to clear the Cavalry Trial Fantasy. It was considered the most difficult Trial Fantasy that Zhao Haiping had ever played. In terms of difficulty, it even surpassed some of the previous official dungeons.

Its content is not complicated, nor does it have many puzzle-solving elements, but the requirements for riding skills and other aspects are too high, and it can only pile up muscle memory over and over again.

Seeing the review of clearance, Zhao Haiping felt a bit like complaining, but he was somewhat used to it.

"A simple trial"?

It is really hard to imagine what a difficult trial is in the eyes of the designers of the game "Dark Sand".

However, judging from the evaluation of clearance, Zhao Haiping has indeed benefited a lot from this trial fantasy.

Although he did not learn the tactics of cavalry command, he had a very deep understanding of cavalry's combat methods.

Cavalry is by no means just infantry on horseback.

When the cavalry can truly achieve the state of unity between man and horse, it will undergo a qualitative change.

What's more, Zhao Haiping rides a stirrupless horse, which makes his experience even more profound.

The greatest advantage of cavalry is mobility, and the word "mobility" means that there are too many tactics to choose from.

First of all, the cavalry can fight when they want and run away when they want, while the infantry can only form formations at any time and wait for the cavalry's impact.

The infantry cannot relax, because the cavalry will attack once they relax, but when the infantry is arrayed, the cavalry can watch from a distance, eat and drink on their horses, and then attack after the infantry are exhausted.

Secondly, the cavalry can take a roundabout route, find a breakthrough in the infantry array, and penetrate directly like a steel cone, causing the entire formation to quickly collapse.

For infantry, it will be very difficult to change formations, and they may collapse. However, cavalry does not need so-called formations. They can just choose a direction and rush forward.

Also, the cavalry's horses themselves are powerful weapons. The horses eat much better than the big-headed soldiers. Once they run at full strength, the huge impact produced coupled with the weapons in the hands of the cavalry is like a harvester, which can crush the battle mercilessly.

A weak-willed infantryman.

Therefore, even in an era without stirrups, cavalry was the most elite combat force.

In the era of stirrups, cavalry became the ceiling of cold weapon combat power. However, all the famous generals in the future were basically masters of tactics using cavalry.

On the other hand, a general who cannot play cavalry will never become a famous general.

"From the perspective of exclusive talents, cavalry can summon war horses anytime and anywhere? This is interesting.

"It definitely won't work in a single-player trial illusion. After all, single-player trial illusions strictly reproduce history. It would be too strange to inexplicably conjure a war horse out of thin air...

“But in the Orderer Expedition, players can summon war horses anytime and anywhere, so there are many more tricks that can be played.

"You can first ride a horse to quickly break through the enemy's defense line, and then put away the horse and turn into infantry to climb the city; conversely, you can also sneak out of the city in the form of infantry, and then suddenly turn into a cavalry unit to attack the weak position of the demon formation.

…

"However, the state of war horses and players is shared. The advantage is that damage can be shared, but the disadvantage is that physical fitness, injuries, negative status and the like are also shared.

“But overall, this is a great enhancement of our own strength!

"I can't wait to see the cavalry array formed by players charging."

Zhao Haiping originally wanted to summon the war horses from the Fortress of the Orderer to have a look and run around for a while, but then he thought about it, and the official dungeon with "reckless and heroic spirit" was more important.

Riding a horse is already a bit tiring. I have been riding in the cavalry's exclusive trial every day for seven days, which is indeed a bit tiring.

Moreover, this time the official dungeon of "Reckless Heroism" is a team mode, and Zhao Haiping is also worried that his own fishing will affect the progress of the other three people.

Therefore, after exiting the cavalry trial dungeon of "exploring the bag to retrieve objects", it is still the first time to enter the official dungeon of "reckless heroism" and continue to play the role of commander.

…

The spears are like a forest, and the flags are hunting.

Zhao Haiping rode a war horse and looked into the distance.

The army of Dasheng Dynasty stretched forward, forming a long array.

And this was not all of the expedition outside the Great Wall. In fact, several armies came from other directions to join and assemble. After arriving outside the Great Wall, Sheng Taizu unified the leadership to find the main force of the Northern Barbarians for a decisive battle.

Most people know that a personal expedition must meet either of two conditions to be considered normal.

The first is, it is a last resort.

The second is that if you conquer, you will win.

This is also a valuable experience summarized by past dynasties.

In ancient society, the emperor held great power. It can be said that anything that happens to the emperor will affect the entire country to the greatest extent. Even the normal handover of the emperor may cause a special dangerous state of "suspiciousness of the master and the young country", not to mention

Did the emperor have an accident during his personal expedition?

Therefore, a personal expedition by the emperor is either a last resort, and the country is already on the verge of danger. The emperor must personally conduct the expedition to boost morale and let all the soldiers know that they must fight to the death;

A political show.

However, Sheng Taizu's personal expedition obviously did not meet any of these two points.

At that time, the Dasheng Dynasty was still in the early stage of the dynasty, and there were no serious internal or external troubles for the time being. It was not a bad idea to find famous generals to conquer the Northern Barbarians, but it was not a last resort.

As for conquering, victory is inevitable, let alone talk about it.

Because the goal of this battle is to go deep beyond the Great Wall and find the main force of the Northern Barbarians to fight with them.

This means that the front line of the war is very far away, requiring long supply lines, and the battle location is outside the Great Wall with very unfamiliar terrain, so no one is sure of victory.

Military affairs are like this, they change rapidly, and a single thought can mean the difference between heaven and hell.

Taizu Sheng's personal expedition was the third situation.

The emperor will march in person right away!

The emperor is an emperor on horseback, and he conquered the whole world on horseback by himself.

In other words, he was basically invincible in the world. Although he had many generals, when it came to fighting, the emperor was the most professional.

When encountering a particularly important battle, the emperor, who is the most professional and capable of fighting, would of course not feel comfortable leaving the matter to other generals, and would definitely have to do it himself.

For Sheng Taizu, this is the situation of this personal expedition. Because it is too important, it cannot be handed over to other generals.

If this battle is fought well, the Northern Barbarians can be dispersed directly, ensuring peace in the northern border of the Dasheng Dynasty for at least several decades; if this battle is lost, the Dasheng Dynasty is likely to have peace for decades.

If things go too far, it may cause various serious chain reactions.

Zhao Haiping has already seen the situation of sending generals to fight.

The Duke of Qi, who seemed to be perfect in terms of military achievements, made him miserable.

Of course, this does not mean that Qiu Yuan, the Duke of Qi State, must be an incompetent person. His military achievements are all solid, and he has indeed grown up from the bottom of the ranks following Taizu Sheng.

It seemed that he had made a serious military mistake, underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly. However, Zhao Haiping also checked the relevant information and found that the matter was not as simple as he first thought.

Because the situation on the battlefield changes so quickly, everyone will make different judgments.

From the perspective of hindsight, Qiu Yuan indeed underestimated the enemy and rushed in. The fact that his entire army was annihilated when he was ambushed is ironclad evidence.

But from the perspective of a player in the game, it is impossible to predict the future.

Qiu Yuan led his soldiers and horses to pursue the enemy very aggressively. If the enemy set up an ambush, the entire army would indeed be annihilated. But what if the enemy did not have time to prepare at this time? It might be a great victory.

Qiu Yuan has been in charge of the army for many years. It is definitely not the first time he has played similar operations on a whim. He must have had similar experiences many times.

Perhaps in every previous experience, he drove tired soldiers into pursuit and achieved great results, so he thought it would be the same this time.

Therefore, in the final analysis, soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and must be carefully observed.

Every general understands this truth and thinks he is right, but the results are completely different.

This is the difference between a great general, a famous general, and a divine general.

They may seem similar, but the actual results are completely different.

That's why Sheng Taizu couldn't place his hopes on ordinary generals.

Zhao Haiping didn't think much about it at this time. He only cared about two things now, namely the stirrup horse under his crotch and the Shenji Battalion in the army.

After getting used to riding horses without stirrups, he suddenly switched to horses with stirrups. Zhao Haiping felt like crying.

So happy!

With both feet in stirrups and a high bridge saddle, it means that a person can receive forces in the four directions of the front, back, left, and right on the horse, and can easily maintain balance in any dynamic situation.

Just like riding and shooting.
