"Baibaoxianbei? Baibaoxianbei is equipped with armored horses and guards the palace on weekdays and serves as the emperor's imperial guards."

Duan Shao said that at this moment, he was in the "War Horse Fitness Hall" by the river, facing Li Li's inquiry, and gave a brief answer.

Li Li thought to himself: "Insulated cavalry? So that's it."

When Duan Shao saw Li Li asking about Baibaoxianbei, he decided to shock the other party, so he briefly introduced the situation of Baibaoxianbei. Li Li listened carefully.

As I listened, I thought about it.

In later generations, when it comes to ancient wars, when it comes to the "group of arms" of cavalry, there are differences between "light cavalry" and "heavy cavalry".

However, he found that in this era, there was no such thing as "light cavalry" and "heavy cavalry". The cavalry corresponding to heavy cavalry was called "armored cavalry" or "armored cavalry".

The cavalry corresponding to the light cavalry uses words such as "ranger", "light cavalry".

It is more appropriate to divide the types of cavalry, and it may be more appropriate to determine the standards based on the "function": armored cavalry is mainly used to attack enemy formations, while "rangers" and "light cavalry" are mainly used to raid, detour, reconnaissance, and harassment.

If you have to distinguish between light cavalry and heavy cavalry, you will face an embarrassing problem:

Is a cavalry wearing a strong and holding a sharp horse without armor defined as a light cavalry?

Well, he suddenly changed his horse and rode a war horse in full gear. That was the heavy cavalry?

When this cavalry is fighting, he will dismount for various reasons. Is he a cavalry or an infantryman?

When dismounting the horse and fighting in the field, they still wear armor. Are they heavy infantry? If they take off their armor, are they light infantry?

He fought with a spear and a horse. Is he a sabre? He was a sabre? He was a sabre? He was a sabre? He was a sabre? He was a sabre? He was a sabre cavalry?

The elite cavalry of this era emphasizes "all-round", long-range weapons (bows), long-rod weapons (spears), and short weapons (knife, hammer, mace).

That is, the so-called "three battles in one's body". If you can ride and shoot, you will also have the adjective "left and left and right shooting".

Therefore, elite cavalry are all-round elite warriors who can fight on horseback, rush to battle, and dismount to fight in the field and attack in the field.

Whether it is in the infantry battle, cavalry battle, spear, bow, sword and shield, you can play smoothly.

Baibaoxianbei is this kind of all-round elite warrior, with rich skills, tactics and combat experience. If you describe it in a later generation, it is:

King of soldiers.

Therefore, it cannot be simply said whether Baibaoxianbei is an infantry or a cavalry, a light cavalry (infantry) or a heavy cavalry (infantry). The opponent can take on any kind of military role, depending on the needs.

However, according to Duan Shao, once the Baibaoxianbei joins the battle, it is basically used as an armored cavalry, and its task is to follow the general to charge into battle.

In other words, the role played by Baibaoxianbei on the battlefield is to impact (break the formation) cavalry, with strong impact and high explosive power. Once the opponent does not respond properly, it is easy...

It's easy to be shot into his soul.

As Li Li thought about it, he thought of another term "Xuanjia Army".

This is a powerful cavalry in the hands of Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin. It is said that the force is about 3,000, and it doesn't seem to be too many, but it has extremely strong assault capabilities.

During the war when the Tang Dynasty unified the world, Li Shimin led the Xuanjia Army to gallop on the battlefield and used it as a raid force to launch a fatal blow.

During the battle, Li Shimin personally led the Xuanjia Army to move on the battlefield. After detecting or inducing the enemy formation to have flaws, he suddenly attacked and took the lead in knocking on the enemy formation, and the army then poured in.

The most famous battle was the Battle of Hulao Pass. Li Shimin led the Xuanjia Army to attack the central army of King Dou Jiande of Xia, and directly captured Dou Jiande and his civil and military officials with similar beheading tactics.

This directly led to the instant "brain death" of more than 100,000 Xia Kingdom's army.

Now, according to Duan Shao's introduction, Li Li believes that the Baibaoxianbei of Qi may be the type of assault cavalry of the Xuanjia Army of the early Tang Dynasty.

In the future, when fighting against the main force of the Qi army, you will have to be careful of being beheaded by a cavalry...

Thinking of this, Li Li looked at Hanshan not far away and remembered the Battle of Hanshan two years ago.

At that time, Emperor Gao Yang of Qi personally led the army to Hanshan City. The Liang army led by Li Li to guard the camp and did not leave, and did not fight against the Qi army in field battles.

Since Gao Yang has come, Baibaoxianbei must have arrived outside Hanshan City, but the Liang army did not come out to fight, so Baibaoxianbei has no chance to show its skills.

To put it bluntly, Li Li's confrontation with the main force of the Qi army in recent years is not actually a head-on battle.

The three tough battles were fought, the first was the night attack of Gao Yue, the second was the flood of Duan Shao, and the third was the defensive battle, which made Gao Yang so angry but had no choice.

As for the subsequent multiple battles, his opponents were the prefectures and counties and ordinary troops of Qi State, and even the only head-on battle, with fewer enemies and more, and he also took the lead in using artillery.

This does not mean that he can underestimate the strength of the Qi army, otherwise one day he was attacked from the flank by a cavalry and beheaded, and regretting it would be useless.

Duan Shao saw that Li Li was thinking, so he didn't say much. After all, no matter how powerful Baibaoxianbei was, it could not change the fact that he became a prisoner and his sister was captured.

"Let's go and see mine..." Li Li pointed to the next door and smiled, "Look at mine, the 996th War Horse."

Li Li took his entourage to the next door, and Duan Shao followed him. He only knew the meaning of the last two words "996 War Horse". As for what the purpose of "996" is, he really doesn't understand.

Next door, a new hydraulic drive device was running. Li Li looked at the devices called "Horse Walking Machine". He looked at the horses walking around the device and was very satisfied.

Just like the big boss of a sweatshop, he saw the busy workers working on the three shifts of water flowing production line, and a gratifying smile appeared on his face.

Li Li had installed a treadmill, also known as a "horse gym", to strengthen horse exercise.

Now, a "horse walking machine" has been installed, which is a hydraulically driven device that replaces human power to walk horses in a small field to ensure that the horses have sufficient exercise.

The "horse walking machine" has a structure that is a large turntable: a circle surrounded by a fence, with another inner circle surrounded by a fence.

Two circles form a loop, and there is an upright axis at the center of the circle, with a cross-shaped cantilever on it, which is driven and rotated by hydraulic power.

The cross cantilever is hung with wooden boards, which divides the ring into four parts, namely four "cubicles", which can accommodate four horses.

When the cantilever rotates, the horse in the "cubicle" can only follow it even if it does not tie it to the cantilever with a rein, so it walks around and around, constantly walking.

In order to reduce the pressure on the horses caused by the wooden board, Li Li also "feels" and punched many holes on the upper half of the partition, like a sieve to ensure that the horse has a "wide vision".

The current version of the "horse walking machine" is smaller in size. In the future, the improved "horse walking machine" can accommodate six horses at the same time and exercise at the same time. The horse walking efficiency is greatly improved, but it does not occupy too much space.

Li Li tried every means to make the horses exercise as much as possible under the restrictions of not being wide enough, and then ensure their diet and feed more concentrated feed so that the war horses can thrive.

Just like the soldiers who are trained in "996 Work", the war horses also come to "996 Work" to train and become a "muscular man" in the horse.

He looked at the "horse walking machine" and maliciously imagined: You have a hundred preservation and I have a "elite of ninety-ninety six"!

On the side, Duan Shao looked at the "horse walking machine" in front of him, unable to describe his mood in words.

He had never heard of such a way to raise horses in the world.

Looking at the horses in circles in the "horse walking machine", he seemed to see donkeys pulling mills, and he felt unbelievable: Can the horses sneaking out of the horse walking machine still ride to fight?

This is not a training horse, it is torture horses! The horses who can only go around the circle will come to the battlefield. How to charge and chase?

He looked at Li Li again and wanted to shout: What is the "horse-running machine" or "horse-running machine". How did you come up with this idea? How did your mind grow?

You, are you human or demon?
