If you want to say which dynasty in Zhuxia used cavalry the most sharply, there is no doubt that it will be the middle of Liu Che's reign in the Western Han Dynasty.
Earlier, that is, during the Warring States Period, Zhao learned from the Hu people to ride a horse alone, that is, the Zhao State rode a horse for a long time Until the reform was carried out during Liu Che's reign, even if the military reform was carried out and Zhao Guo was playing alone, Zhuxia still played with chariots and infantry as the main force.
The current time is nearly five hundred years since the time when the Zhuxia cavalry was shining brightly, and many cavalry tactics and tactics in the Western Han Dynasty, even if they did not go through the fall of the Central Plains to the rule of Hulu, basically did not leave much.
The cavalry tactics of the Han Empire, in fact, were the same as the cavalry generals of the Western Han Dynasty at that time, which were learned from previous opponents, and then summarized and optimized by themselves, forming their own fighting style.
There are not many tactics of cavalry, and the big categories are just four.
Wolf pack guerrilla tactics: cavalry is attached to the enemy, but does not engage the enemy, only keeps harassing, because the infantry cannot deal with the cavalry if it is not in formation, so it forces the enemy to maintain the formation at all times, degrading its morale and consuming its physical strength.
When the enemy was fatigued, the cavalry divided into several squads to attack in an all-round way, causing the enemy to flee in confusion, and the cavalry killed and wounded a large number of enemy troops in the process of pursuit.
Flanking tactics: The cavalry bypassed the enemy's main formation on the flank, attacked the weak point, or attacked the connection between the enemy's formations, rushed away from the enemy's army, and created chaos.
Heavy Cavalry Charge Tactics: This tactic requires cavalry to be heavily armoured, armed with spears, to start charging when close to the enemy, and to maximize the speed when dealing with the enemy, mainly relying on strong speed inertia to crash into the enemy.
Kite Tactics: The close enemy does not charge, but throws around the enemy line, retreats if the enemy advances, and the enemy continues to shoot when he stops, or let the enemy shoot backwards under pursuit, always keeping a distance and attacking with ranged weapons.
Li Jun did not have mounted heavy cavalry at hand, not even assault cavalry, so naturally he couldn't play the shock tactics of mounted heavy cavalry.
There are four major categories of cavalry tactics, and each cavalry general will make some very necessary adjustments because of his own understanding or command ability.
The Yulin army was evacuating, and it looked like it was chaotic, but it wasn't the kind of rout that scattered and undisciplined.
The Sassanid cavalry were the most energetic in pursuit, and they seemed to have been beaten at this moment, with the confidence of victory, and their minds were thinking of catching up with the Han army and killing them with their weapons.
It was really because they were so happy and excited, and when the Sassanid cavalry pursued, they gradually widened the distance depending on whether the horses under their crotch were fast or slow, and then divided into several echelons.
The Sassanid infantry, who were chasing on foot, shouted louder than anyone else, and galloped forward with their legs in motion.
The Sassanid infantry was not divided into several echelons so quickly, that is, there was no formation when they were chasing, anyway, they rushed forward in a "waaaaa", and then there were no familiar robes around them that could cooperate with each other.
Habibullah, of course, discovered the situation of his own army, and after repeatedly confirming it, he came to the conclusion that the withdrawal of the Han army was real.
"You can't chase too far."
Habibullah cautiously said: "It has succeeded in stirring up morale and bringing the courage and murderous spirit back to the warriors."
Being able to do this is already the biggest win."
Originating from the Han Empire's fierce reputation, coupled with the fact that the Persians recorded the Han people in their own history books are too mysterious, before they really fought with the Han army, from the generals to the soldiers, everyone was extremely weak-hearted.
The earliest Persian knowledge of the Han Chinese was inherited from the Parthians, and then the Parthians were eager to form an alliance with the Han Chinese, and the Han people in the record were extremely high.
Later, the Persians came into contact with the Han people on their own, and during the Eastern Han Dynasty, they also tentatively moved eastward to the Western Regions.
At that time, the Persians dispatched about 5,000 elite and more than 50,000 miscellaneous soldiers of vassal countries, but they were almost wiped out by the Eastern Han army of less than 2,000 with about 30,000 subject troops.
Just a temptation, the Persians confirmed that the Han people are not easy to mess with, and for a long time the perception is that the Han people are really too high, and they can only be friends with them, not enemies with them, let's do it How many years ago it seems to be five or six years ago, the contemporary Persians are once again taking the initiative to contact the Han people with endless beauty.
This time, they did not have the brains to send troops again, and they officially sent an envoy group with the royal family as the envoy to Chang'an, the capital of the Han Empire, for a state visit.
This time, there was also an envoy from the country west of Central Asia who traveled tens of thousands of miles to the capital of Zhuxia and handed over the credentials, and the Persians did what the Parthians did not do, and the reason for the visit was the same as that of the Parthians.
The Persians are still IQ online, and they did not propose the intention of forming an alliance at the first time, otherwise they should be like the Parthians in the past, and they should be looked at by the Han people with caring and mentally retarded eyes.
The Han Empire came into conflict with the Gupta Empire, which was considered a great opportunity by the Persians.
The Persians enthusiastically put forward the proposal for a "five-nation alliance", ignoring a certain degree of indifference of the Han Empire, and after forming the "five-nation alliance", they considered themselves one step closer to forming a truly comprehensive alliance with the Han Empire.
The Gupta Empire is closer to Rome according to the relationship, and the Sassanid wanted to engage in the Gupta Empire for a long time, that is, it repeatedly attacked from the land to the south, and was stopped by the two Satrap and Jidoro Kingdoms respectively before touching the Gupta Empire, and could only rely on the navy to find the Gupta Empire's unhappiness, but the sea battle was actually the Gupta Empire's side had the advantage.
According to Sasanian's speculation, no matter how powerful the Han Empire is, it will not be so easy to cross the sea to conquer the Gupta Empire, and it may even usher in failure.
What the Sassanians never dreamed of was that from the battle at sea to the actual landing, it took less than three years for the Han Empire to completely destroy the Gupta Empire, not that the Han Empire might fail as they imagined, nor did it drag on for more than ten years or more.
Sassanid is actually closer to the Gupta Empire than the Han Empire, and the sea conditions from the Sassanid coast to the Gupta Empire are better.
If they really want to organize a cross-sea expedition against the Gupta Empire, it is not impossible to grit their teeth, that is, the naval engagement and non-combat attrition will inevitably suffer heavy losses, probably to send the landing force to the Gupta Empire, and then it is time for the landing force to be left to its fate.
It is precisely because they can grit their teeth and carry out a cross-sea expedition to their deaths that the Sassanid will cross the sea expedition against the Han Empire and really destroy the Gupta Empire, and find that the Han Empire is far more powerful than they suspected.
If the Han Empire was only powerful, the two sides did not share borders, there were no historical grievances, and the current relationship between the two sides seemed to be friendly, and so on, the Sassanids would only be more eager to form an alliance with the Han Empire.
In the fifteenth year of Yuan Shuo, the Han Empire proposed to lease ports and coasts, and even inland cities to seek concessions, which was like a stick knocking on Sassan's head.
It had always been wishful thinking for the Persians to seek full-fledged allies with the Han Chinese, and they wanted to form an alliance with the Han Chinese only to fight the Romans, and then to the benefits of trade.
The Sassanid who was knocked out of the stick woke up to the fact that the Han Empire, which had been weakened because of the relationship with longing, had eliminated so many countries and races that could be regarded as being taken seriously, and that wishful thinking was discarded, and with malicious thinking, he suddenly found that the Han Empire's expansion and domineering behavior would definitely be a more dangerous country than the Romans.
Coincidentally, the Han people marched westward again, and did not stop the pace of westward expansion after recovering the Western Regions.
At this point, even the Persians, who are no longer sober-minded, should recognize what kind of country the Han Empire is.
Habibullah was one of those who was in fact one of the people who did not approve of having too much official contact with the Han Empire, believing that communication with the Han Empire should be limited to commerce, which was the most advantageous way of communication.
In fact, whether it was during the Parthian Empire or in the early Sassanid period, the Han Chinese had no civil strife, and the eastern Sassanid had been enjoying the dividends from trade with the Han Chinese.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Parthian Empire was able to survive the war with the Romans for so long, mainly because it monopolized the land trade with the Han Chinese, especially the silk obtained from the Han Chinese and sold it to the Romans at a high price.
The Ardashir family was able to overthrow the Parthian Empire and establish the Sassanid Empire, in fact thanks to the huge profits generated by the Han trade.
After the civil strife on the Han side, and after five chaotic times, in fact, the Persians had not come into contact with Han merchants for one or two hundred years, and they had not even seen a single silk horse.
The Persians once again traded with the Han Chinese in the thirteenth year of the Yuan Dynasty, and the reopened trade routes came from the sea, not the traditional Silk Road again.
This time, the Persians were no longer able to act as a roadblock, unable to monopolize goods from the Han Chinese, and naturally could no longer extort the Romans, which was the most painful thing for Habibullah, as the governor of eastern Sasanar.
Without interests, there may be a new threat due to too much contact with the Han Empire, Habibullah, as one of the few high-ranking people who oppose contact with the Han Empire, waited for Shapur II to wake up, Habibullah seemed to have become one of the wise men of the Sasanians, not only the power at hand was strengthened, but also the prestige was increasing day by day.
As the governor of the east, Habibullah's family is naturally not much weaker.
There was a spell on the part of the region, and any eastern governor had ambitions, whether it was Darius's Persian Empire, Azasius' Parthian Empire, or even Ardashir's Sassanid Empire.
Some of the eastern governors wanted to be the emperor of the soil and firmly control the eastern provinces.
Some of the governors of the East will want to go further, for example, the emperor will take turns to do the big drama that will come to my house next year.
Ardashir is an example of a further success, giving a clear path to the subsequent governors of the East.
It has never been a big secret that the Eastern Governor was ambitious in this land, and the successive governors used allusions from Zhuxia to the point where Sima Zhao's heart was well known to passers-by.
For this reason, the royal families of Darius, Asasius and Ardashir never got along with the Eastern Governor, and the strange thing is that the three royal families did not do anything at all, knowing that the Eastern Governor was "impure".
If you look at the division of each province and analyze the strength of the eastern provinces in all aspects, you will probably know why the royal families in three different periods can not do anything and never do it.
During the periods of different royal families or rulers, the strength of the eastern provinces accounted for at least 20% of each dynasty, and some of them entered a period of trade prosperity with the eastern Zhuxia, and even accounted for 40% or 50% of the overall national strength.
In such a situation, even the most tough king, when he thinks that the outcome of the real action is unpredictable, it is very likely that the country will be divided, and even the maintenance of unity may become history, and he will have to give up starting a civil war after repeated considerations.
At this stage, the eastern provinces of Sasania, because of the long break off relations with the eastern trade chiefs, should be the weakest time.
In terms of data, the eastern provinces can account for one-fifth of Sasanian's overall strength.
Because of their own mistakes, the Ardashir family gave up treatment altogether, and evolved from a frenzied kneeling lick into a pathological hostility that dragged the entire Sassanid into a war that would not have happened so quickly, and perhaps would not have happened at all.
Habibullah learned from a secret source that Ardashir, the ruling family, was determined to give up the entire east, and his first thought was that Shapur II was crazy, and then the western Sasanid was ill-intentioned, and the central Sassanid was definitely happy to see it.
If Sassanid really wants to organize defense in the center, all kinds of resources will definitely continue to tilt to the center, even if the central nobles remain rational and not so greedy, they will definitely be able to eat with their mouths full of oil.
Those families in the center may reap the greatest benefits, those families in the west will also be safe, and only the east will pay or perish Habibullah and other eastern families, how could they want to see that kind of situation happen Under the current general situation, they cannot rebel against Ardashi, and can only arm themselves with their best efforts and dedication.
Habibullah's idea of fighting with the Han army this time is very realistic, and it is estimated that it will be far more difficult to win than directly challenging Ardashir, maintaining a stalemate or surrendering Cheng as a last resort, how can you first let the Han army know that you are not easy to mess with, or it is impossible that you don't even have the qualifications to surrender, isn't it.
"Let them stop."
Habibullah is still hopeful: "Something is wrong with the Han army. ” Fighting is absolutely necessary, and it is not allowed without any factors.
The key is not to be easily solved by the Han army, otherwise no matter what the plan is, it is very likely to stop at the plan
