"In addition to more than 200,000 main cavalry, how many ordinary cavalry do the Mongolian tribes have?"

"Duke, the Mongolian tribe developed from the extreme north. We have no specific information about the size of their tribe. However, based on the situation of Shiwei, Xianbei and other tribes, our deduction department made a decision on the strength of the Mongolian tribe. A rough estimate."

"What is the result of your calculation?"

"From the deduction results, the Mongolian tribe should now have about 100,000 ordinary cavalry and more than 300,000 servant cavalry, and the number of servant infantry will not be less than 200,000; of course, this is just our calculation, and Mongolia The true situation of the tribe must be in error."

"There will definitely be errors, but I believe your secret guard’s calculations." Bai Feng stopped and looked at the north road: "The number of ordinary cavalry and servant troops can't explain anything; the more than 200,000 main cavalry, Is the core of the Mongolian tribe's combat power."

"Duke, please forgive me for your humility. Even if you are under the control of the Tianlong Eight Banners, even if you have two hundred and eighty banner cavalry plus one hundred thousand ordinary cavalry, you will not be the opponent of the fifty thousand Mongolian cavalry; the Mongolian cavalry is powerful, Far beyond your imagination."

This hidden guard commander was afraid of the Mongolian cavalry. Bai Feng neither recognized nor denied it. He just thought for a while and then smiled and asked the hidden guard commander standing beside him: What are the characteristics?"

The Commander of the Hidden Guardian knows everything: "The Mongolian cavalry's equipment is mainly composed of two to three bows, three huge quilts filled with arrows, a battle axe, and a rope with a towed weapon; the leader They should carry a machete with a sharp tip but only one edge, and install it in a delicate scabbard. The horses they ride have armor, and some warriors also have armor."

"The armor of the warhorse is composed of five parts. There is a piece of armor on each side of the horse, which covers the head of the horse. The third piece of armor is placed on the hips of the horse and is tied to the plate on both sides. Leave a hole in the nail piece so that the pony tail can protrude from the hole; the fourth piece of nail is on the chest of the horse, the fifth piece of nail is an iron plate that they put on the horse's forehead, this piece of nail is tied on both sides of the nail On the film."

"The Mongolian cavalry’s breastplate is composed of four parts, one is made from the thigh to the neck, according to the shape of the knight himself; the other is from the neck to the waist, connected with the front plate, and fixed on each side of the shoulder An iron plate."

"They also have a piece of armor on each arm, covering from the shoulder to the wrist, and another piece of armor on each leg. All these pieces of armor are connected together by a buckle; the upper part of the helmet is made of iron, But the part that protects the neck and throat is made of leather."

"The armor of the Mongolian cavalry, the method of making it is very delicate, take their most commonly used willow leaf armor as an example: they first made a number of iron pieces with a wide finger and a long palm, drilled eight small holes in each iron piece, they placed Three strong and narrow belts are used as the foundation, and then these iron pieces are placed on top of each other, so the iron pieces overlap."

"They used thin leather wires to pass through the above holes, tied these iron pieces to three belts, and at the top they tied a leather wire, and these iron pieces were firmly connected together; in this way, they used these The iron piece is made into an iron piece belt, and then these iron piece belts are connected together to make the various parts of the iron armor. They connect these parts to make the iron armor protecting the human body and the horse."

"One of the characteristics of the Mongolian cavalry is that they like to polish their armor. They polished the iron pieces on the armor of the war horses so brightly that they could reflect the figure on the iron pieces; therefore, the Mongolian cavalry must have wherever they go Dazzling light."

Bai Feng, who was holding paper and a pen while listening, saw that he had finished speaking again, and he continued to ask: "Since you are already studying Mongolian cavalry, have you ever analyzed the combat mode of Mongolian cavalry?"

"Duke, the cavalry tactics used by the Mongolian cavalry, such as arrow rain strikes, two-wing outswing, retreat, opening, etc., are not their original. They have been used by other grassland tribes, but Mongolian cavalry who have experienced harsh tactical exercises are more flexible. Use, play perfectly."

Bai Feng took a simple magic sand table from the Bai Ling ring, placed it on the grass beside the water, and then pointed to a magic sand table that can be adjusted at any time by various terrains: "You use this sand table to show me what you know about Mongolia Army combat tactics."

"Observe the orders." The commander of the secret guard sat down next to the sand table, and explained while adjusting the terrain of the sand table: "When the Mongolian army is fighting, there will first be a wide line of advance, and the main units will be sent by the heralds. news."

"When the frontmost first column meets the enemy’s main force, the column will either stop advancing or retreating slightly according to the situation, and the other troops will continue to advance and occupy the area on the side and behind the enemy; this can often force the enemy to retreat to protect On their traffic line, they took the opportunity to approach the enemy and made it chaotic when they retreated, and finally surrounded the enemy and wiped it out completely."

"If they find that they are encountering a non-primary enemy, then all nearby troops will carry out assaults with this target; at this time, all information about the enemy’s position, strength, and direction of movement will be quickly sent to the general headquarters. , And then transferred to the troops."

"If there aren’t many enemies, the nearest commander will immediately head to the front; if the enemy is too large to eat right away, then the main cavalry of the Mongolian army will quickly gather behind the ordinary cavalry and servant cavalry cover troops, Then advance at high speed and destroy the enemies one by one before they have the time to gather troops."

"The standard Mongolian army combat formation is composed of five horizontal squadrons, each of which is a single row, with a wide distance between the horizontal squadrons; the first two horizontal squadrons are heavy cavalry, and the last three horizontal squadrons are light cavalry. ."

"In front of these five squadrons, there are also some light cavalry responsible for reconnaissance and cover; when the opposing forces are getting closer and closer, the three light cavalry in the back accelerate through the first two heavy cavalry. The gap advances, and after careful aiming, the enemy is projected with a javelin with devastating power and a bow and arrow with an amazing range."

"Then, with the formation still in order, the heavy cavalry of the first two teams retreated first, and then the light cavalry retreated one after another; even if the enemy's front was no matter how stable, it would have been prepared for such a dense arrow rain. There was a certain degree of shaking under the attack."

"This kind of cooperative operation may easily defeat some ordinary troops, but it is far from enough for a truly well-trained and well-equipped elite division." Bai Feng shook his head in denial.
