Every civilization will have its own characteristics, not only culturally, but also in the military.
The troop cavalry is not exclusive to Zhuxia, the civilization that first created this troop is the nomads, but the productivity of the nomads is not good, and most of the cavalry belongs to the type of light cavalry.
It was not until the Wuhu Rebellion that the nomads invaded and occupied the Central Plains, plundered resources and enslaved enough labor, and the troop cavalry was regarded as a great success, and even let the nomads play the armor for the first time.
The most slippery of the Turquoise cavalry was played by the Xian Han, and several of the famous troops were actually composed of Troocha, which were used against the nomadic light cavalry, and each time they were able to fight brilliantly with a small number of people.
In the world empires of the same period in the pre-Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu Empire played with light cavalry, the Parthian Empire in Persia played with armor and cavalry, and the Roman Empire did not attach importance to cavalry at all.
What is more strange is that the Persian armored cavalry was repeatedly taught to be human by the Roman armored heavy infantry with javelin soldiers.
There are horse-producing fields in this land, but the most distinctive thing is the elephants, and they have their own elephant troops, and the elephant soldiers have a glorious history, such as playing an important role in the Greek invasion of Macedonia.
Elephant soldiers are not affordable in any country, except for some necessary taming and training skills, in fact, it is related to financial resources, such as Getanado also has elephant soldiers, but the number is only hundreds, not like the wealthy Gupta Dynasty can feed and maintain tens of thousands of elephant soldiers.
In addition to the elephant soldiers, Ah San's side attaches the most importance to the charioteers, on the contrary, the cavalry status that Zhuxia attaches the most importance to is not much higher than the infantry.
Zhuxia has a history of measuring whether a country is strong by the number of chariots, that is, building chariots requires certain resources and necessary technology, and the time period at the bottom of productivity, the more chariots you have, the stronger the national strength, and at the same time, it is also a chariot with a troop source, and there are not enough soldiers to not be able to load many chariots.
The historical stage of Ah San's side is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Zhuxia, and the national strength is measured by the number of elephant soldiers it has first, and then by referring to the number of chariots it has, and the cavalry is not within the reference range.
According to Qian Jiantong's understanding, or according to the concept of the Han people, it is natural to think that the cavalry is enough to threaten, which is also the reason why Qian Jiantong chose to personally lead his troops to meet the mixed army of Jitana's multi-infantry cavalry.
The battle entered the stage where the Han army was constantly cruising and seizing the opportunity to attack, and the rhythm of the battlefield was completely controlled by the Han army.
Getanado's cavalry fell into the continuous chaos of being impacted, and the infantry simply did not "wake up", and the smoothness of the battle made Qian Jiantong happy and surprised, and he couldn't understand how Geitanado dared to send it to the field with such a color.
In fact, it was the Gitanado side that had never fought with the Han army, and at the same time did not understand the tactics of the Han army, there were also mistakes in the appointment of generals by Zantpudei Iraus Shulaka, and the war was originally who made mistakes and who lost the advantage, and once the mistake was made and the opponent seized the opportunity, victory or defeat was doomed in that instant.
At the same time, Qian Jiantong also clearly discovered that under the coordination and cooperation ability of the enemy army they faced, it was really not a strong army.
There is nothing surprising about this, it is a universal truth that a small country does not have a strong army, which is predestined in the first place of national strength, and then there is the lack of self-confidence of a strong person who is a member of a strong country.
To put it bluntly, strong countries are all fought out, and the self-confidence of being a strong person is played, but the will and confidence cannot be achieved for a while, and a process is needed, and there is an indispensable process in that process.
Qian Jiantong can control the rhythm of the battlefield, but he knows that it is impossible to annihilate this enemy army on the spot, and what he can do is to defeat it.
Next, the Han army did a drive-and-drive tactic, not allowing the enemy's cavalry to have time to reunite with the whole team, and constantly putting pressure on the enemy infantry in a state of confusion.
It took nearly an hour for the Gitanado's infantry, which had first collapsed, to begin to flee on a large scale, and a considerable part of the Gitanado's cavalry had already scattered and fled.
After the breakout of Geitanado's army, the performance of the Han cavalry was officially staged, dispersing the enemy troops in groups, causing the enemy to flee all over the field, driving and harvesting back and forth, and more and more mentally broken Ah San chose to give up resistance and escape, and surrendered on his knees.
It was almost as the battle on Qian Jiantong's side entered the final stage, and the battle on another battlefield had also begun.
What is somewhat different from the battlefield where Qian Jiantong is that Li Jun led the Han army and the annexed army to face the charioteers and infantry of Getanado, and the two armies did not hedge at the first moment, I don't know if it was a tacit understanding, or they both needed to prepare, and they all stopped when they were about a mile apart.
Li Jun saw nearly a thousand chariots, and through the telescope, he could find that the chariots of Geitanado were very different from the styles of Zhuxia.
Zhuxia's chariots are actually classified as heavy models, generally the type of horse chariots, the body of the car is relatively large, and the carrying members are generally pilots, halberds, archers, crossbowmen, and shield soldiers, and sometimes the riders or troops will be adjusted as needed, such as removing the shield soldiers and riding two archers, or not allowing the archers to carry two halberd soldiers.
The Asan chariot that appeared on the battlefield was a bucket type, unlike the chariots of Zhuxia that had guardrails on all sides, and after the car was emptied, there were only high-rise parapets in the front, left, and right to the waist, and the body of the car looked slightly smaller, pulled by two horses, and the members were classified according to the carry, one was the combination of the driver, the long hand, and the shield hand, and the other was the combination of the driver, the shield hand, and the archer.
Li Jun paid attention to one point, Ah San's chariot did not have axles, but the two wheels each had a round tooth-shaped sharp object sticking out, so there was no need to guess that it must be a big killer installed in the wheel.
Furthermore, he could clearly see that the horses pulling the chariot had some sharp blades fixed to them, which should be lethal weapons that use speed during the collision.
"We are not trained how to fight against tanks."
Dai Shen, as a lieutenant, also has a telescope, and he looked at Ah San's chariot in his eyes, and was somewhat worried: "This terrain is very flat, and there is no obstacle to chariot combat.
We didn't have time to dig trenches. ” Chariots have long disappeared from the battlefield of Zhuxia, is replaced by cavalry, if the era of information development, even if a thing has disappeared in society for a long time, but some entertainment, such as movies, even dramas, novels and the like, basically there will be some reliable methods, but now is precisely an era of information underdevelopment.
"The only way to turn it up is to make a slope with shield soldiers."
Li Jun actually hadn't read the military book on how to deal with the chariot, he simply reacted in the simplest way: "The chariot relies on wheels to drive, and one high and one low will definitely roll over." ” It's a good way to deal with it, but not only does it test the courage of the shield soldier, but the shield also needs to be strong enough, and then the shield bearer's reaction and body are not strong enough.
The sound of a bull's horn was blown on the side of Gitanado, followed by a tsunami of mountain shouts.
The Han people couldn't understand Ah San's words, and they didn't know what he was shouting at all.
In fact, even if you can understand Ah San's language, it is difficult to tell what is being shouted when the cry sounds very untidy.
"The drums of war are beating."
In the army of the Han Kingdom, the infantry must carry war drums of greater or lesser proportions, and the cavalry will carry horns, and soon the "dong dong" war drums are beaten.
Li Jun will have such a reaction, because the army is very particular about momentum, no matter what kind of movement it makes, it must not let the enemy army make more movement than his own, otherwise the momentum will be compared, causing his own morale to waver.
The number of chariots in Getanado should be about 1,200, and the number of infantry accompanying them was about 5,000, and they simply put the chariots at the front, and the infantry stood in the rear without any formation.
Judging from the battle flags, there are a lot of battle flags of different styles and even different patterns on the side of Gitanado, and it should be that each Kshatriya family has a battle flag belonging to its own family In fact, not only the battle flag, but also the chariot can also see some obvious differences, such as the patterns on the painting, and the obvious features of some car wall styles.
Not to mention military uniforms, Geitanado does not have a uniform at all, not only the styles of clothes are different, but the colors are also varied.
Li Jun used his telescope to observe the northeast position, which was dusty, and although he could not see what was happening clearly due to the dust, he could guess that his cavalry was fighting the enemy.
He didn't worry about his boss at all, although there were only 2,000 cavalry to meet him, but it was the Yulin cavalry, and even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't suffer a big loss.

A slightly neat shout pulled Li Jun's attention back, it was a slogan shouted by the three people in front of the formation, and the chariot in the front row also began to pull the cart forward under the long whip of the driver.
Of course, the wheels are made of wood, and there are no wheels made of rubber, and the friction between the wood structure and the road surface, even if the ground is flat, there will inevitably be some stones and the like, which will make the chariot shake, causing the people standing on it to tremble with the ups and downs of the car, and the larger bumps will make them need to reach out to hold the wall of the car to stabilize their bodies.
After Gitanado's chariot was dispatched, the annexed army behind the Han army was obviously in a commotion, Li Jun was confident in the arranged supervising army, and then what should have been done had already been done, and his energy should be focused on directing the engagement, but he just looked back and did not make any other moves.
Dai Shen was already striding forward with his headquarters, and a battle horn of "Han Army Mighty" was shouted, followed by a "drink" sound every time the queue stepped forward.
Ah San's "one mile" is not the same as the "one mile" distance of the Han Kingdom, and it should be said that there are differences in the name and length of the length unit in most countries, but the judgment of the distance depends on the eye.
The Han army, which was marching forward neatly, made a sound of footsteps that was no less than the movement of Ah San's slowly accelerating chariot.
After the Han army stepped forward for a certain distance, the tower shield soldiers who formed the squad broke away from the headquarters and began to accelerate, they were a squad of eleven people, and the squads were separated from each other by more than five meters.
After that, the whole army stopped, and the spearmen began to form a hedgehog formation at the sound of the officer's command, and in an instant the front of the army formation became a forest of spikes.
The crossbowmen also organized an arrow array under the constraints of the officer's command, and their movements were very fast, and they immediately received the order to raise the crossbow machine to an oblique angle of several degrees according to the officer's instructions, and then pulled the trigger to complete the fire in the sound of the command.
The rest of the troops also need to be busy, and gradually the entire army formation is changing, but the obvious thing is that the overall formation is scattered, and on the left and right flanks, including the inside of the military formation, a very large number of soldiers are digging the ground with shovels.
In the rear, the annexed army was given the order to move to the left and right, and as long as they were not driven to charge against the chariots, they were still very obedient, and they were glad to carry out the order when they learned that they needed to complete the encirclement of the battlefield from the left and right flanks when they had gained an advantage in battle.
The wheels of the chariot were rolling forward, and the battlefield was full of the sound of the wheels rolling or rubbing against the road.
There was a scene on the battlefield, I don't know whether it was cutting corners, or it was in disrepair, or it was too bumpy to cause an accident, there was a chariot that suddenly fell off one side of the wheel in the gallop, and the people on the body of the car were thrown out at the first time when the wheel fell off and smashed to the road, and the war horse pulling the cart was directly pulled down and smashed to the ground due to a huge force, and they fell to the ground by dragging the car body forward, and smashed it heavily to the ground, making a loud noise.
With the first chariot accident, soon there will be a second, the third, the number is not too much, that is, there is no axle to control a large turn of the chariot can only turn a small turn, the chariot is not there a brake, even if the chariot behind sees an accident in front of it and wants to dodge, one is a high-speed galloping state can not stop, the other is can only make a small turn, dodge can not directly hit it has become inevitable.
"That's why our ancestors eliminated the chariot class."
Li Jun is not gloating: "The combat method of the chariot is to go on a rampage, pay great attention to the combat terrain, and then the control of the direction is too stiff." ” Speaking of which, Zhuxia's chariots were not only pulled by horses as animals, but also by oxen.
Zhuxia's territory is a mountainous terrain, and there is really not much room for chariots to play, even if it is pulled by an animal that is not fast like a cow, there is still a strict attention to the terrain.
The arrows fired by the Han army's arrow array fell, most of course, they were shot in the air, and some of the arrows that hit the car body had a good or bad killing effect on Ah San, which completely depended on the reaction of the shield hand on the car body and whether it was timely, and then the number of arrows that fell.
The Han army's archery was not aimed at Ah San on the hull, but at the horses that pulled the chariots, and they were not armoured:
