The Han people seem to be born not in the grassland, and the Han people are born to farm. m. The mobile phone is the most traffic-free and ad-free site. In terms of war potential, farming and nomadic people seem to have inherent disadvantages. This is what most people agree with.

However, a careful analysis shows that the balance of war potential should be tilted towards the Han people. A stable society, advanced productivity, rich food sources, and more population. These are the advantages of the Han people.

On the issue of war, nomads had almost absolute advantages after the Tang Dynasty. This problem is not about the nomads becoming stronger or other reasons, but should be found in the Han people themselves.

Institutional reasons have caused the Central Plains dynasty to lose many war capabilities, such as mobilization capabilities, and the ability to control the country's financial and material resources.

The reasons for the ruler's ideological reasons, such as the ruler's enterprising spirit, the ruler's comfortable mentality about the existing lifestyle, and this mentality guides the ideological and cultural atmosphere of the entire country.

China's backwardness in the 18th and 19th century was also the reason for this mentality. It felt that everything was good, and the rest of the world was barbarians and uncivilized.

Refuse to change, refuse to communicate.

The node of the transformation of this atmosphere in Chinese history was in the Song Dynasty. The main guiding theory of this atmosphere gradually began to form in the late Northern Song Dynasty, causing China to gradually become an introverted country. Ming had inherited it, and Qing Dynasty was more developed due to its own reasons.

Zheng Zhi may not have thought about these things, but Zheng Zhi's mentality is like an extroverted and expanding mentality.

A scattered grassland, losing the nominal ruler of the Liao Kingdom, became even more scattered.

The Tubegan faced by Zheng Zhi was a very powerful tribe in Dadan. It was nominally ruled by the Liao Kingdom, but it was not really listened to the Liao Kingdom's dispatch. Because of the Liao Kingdom's rule and the Liao Kingdom, the middleman, the real war between tribes was relatively less in the past hundred decades.

Because of the rule of the Liao Kingdom, several major wars against the grasslands a hundred decades ago. The military development on the grasslands fell backwards, and the Liao Kingdom controlled the export of iron tools. The Northwest Road Zhaotai Department of the Liao Kingdom also strictly monitored the military progress of the grassland tribes, monitored the large tribes on the grasslands, and suppressed the military rise of the grasslands.

This is the attitude of the Liao Kingdom towards the grasslands in two hundred years.

Now Zheng Zhi is facing a bald mantra in this environment. It is a large Dadan tribe with cowhide armor, increasingly simple weapons, simple wooden crossbows, and arrow clusters all appear extremely simple, mostly a simple iron pointed head, and there is no sharp shape like armored arrows.

This situation did not change slowly until Temujin unified the grassland. Even when Temujin unified the grassland, the real elite troops of the Mongols were only 40,000 to 50,000 people, and the battle to destroy the Jin Dynasty was completed by these 40,000 to 50,000 people. For example, the current Jurchen troops are also the same.

At this time, the war ability of the grassland was too weak. It was so weak that the Jurchens could nominally rule the grassland with tens of thousands of troops. Even when Temujin began to cross the grassland, he could only bow to the terminally ill Jin Kingdom.

With 30,000 iron cavalry, the Jurchens could easily massacre the Mogesi tribe of 200,000 people, and they were almost completely unscathed.

This is Zheng Zhi's confidence. At this time, the grassland was no longer the Huns and Turks. The attacks on the grasslands by the Han and Tang Dynasties continued to this day. The grasslands were ruled by ethnic groups from the east again and again, the Khitans under the Daxingan Mountains, the Jurchens from the white mountains and black waters, and even later the Manchus. These ethnic groups from the east were never many, but they could rule the vast grasslands.

The grassland has been for thousands of years, and the only one who can make a move is Genghis Khan. In a short moment of thousands of years, it immediately disappeared and lost in the long river of history.

However, the grassland is always a threat to the Central Plains dynasty. The nomadism of the grassland is like a maggot on the bone, which always makes the Central Plains dynasty worry. However, throughout history, the winning side is still the Central Plains dynasty, and even the grassland is no longer qualified to be the enemy of the Central Plains dynasty.

Even the Khan who was bald and didn't do anything can also make a contemptuous laugh. It is a huge joke to joke about the Han people entering the grassland. It proves that these nomads who do not record their history have long forgotten the majesty of the Han people and the sorrow of the Huns and the Turks. These grasslands Dadan, which speak the Turkic language system, forget how the powerful Turks disappeared from history.

Zheng Zhi entered the grassland again today, so that the nomads on these grasslands could once again see the majesty of the Han people.

"drive!!!"

There was no communication, no dialogue, no negotiation. At the moment when the drums sounded, the horse's hooves were ripped, and the steel torrent rushed straight to the nomadic Dadan people in gray and black cloth.

Just like fighting with the Jurchens, Zheng Zhi is still so decisive, so fast and so brave.

Don’t react slowly, but you don’t think you are concerned about these Han people who are running over, or you have never seen a Han person in your life. Yes, he has never seen a Han person in his life!

The Han people I heard of were really not very good! They probably had never heard of the stories of the Tang and the Turks. Three or four hundred years have passed, and for most grassland tribes that do not record history, the stories are too long, so long that people have forgotten these stories.

The two sides came opposite each other.

A pitch-black feather arrow was inserted not far ahead, and the feather arrow was so delicate that it was so exquisite that it was painted with black paint on the straight shaft. These paints could prevent rot and insects from getting involved. The goose feathers behind the shaft were snow-white, and the snow-white goose feathers were divided into four petals to stabilize the direction of the flying arrows in the air.

You can also pass by quickly. His superb riding skills allow him to easily lean over and pull up the feather arrows inserted into the grass and soil. The feather arrows are narrow and exquisite, with triangular edges, and are very sharp. They are just to be able to penetrate iron armor.

He also looked up with some confusion. The Han people in the distance were still one or two hundred steps away, and the crossbow of the bald man had not yet begun.

However, the black rain of arrows in the sky has flown.

After waiting, I realized that on the grassland horses behind me, soldiers fell down one by one, leaving only the empty horseback.

At this moment, Ye Kemei's heart changed. Why did the Khitan sweeping across the grasslands fail? Ye Kemei probably thought he had found some answer.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot the arrows!" Ye Kemei picked up the wooden bow and shouted while shooting.

The enemy is getting closer and closer, and the arrows are constantly raining. The despicable arrows can finally shoot onto the enemy, but no one is falling.

The iron armor in the Central Plains is unimaginable to the grassland people. Even the iron armor of the Khitan is far inferior to the iron armor of the Song Dynasty. Why did the Song Dynasty have such heavy iron armor? It was also forced by the Khitans. Without a strong horse, the only thing they can rely on is the thicker and thicker iron armor.

Outside Yanmen Pass, before Tanyuan, there were too many stories about the strong horse and the iron armor. The Song Dynasty was able to maintain Hebei and Hedong, and forced the Liao people to enter the Tanyuan alliance, and the iron armor made the greatest contribution.

The combination of arms and warriors will surely create the most powerful army.

It was not until I got closer that I could see the appearance of these iron armors clearly. Countless iron pieces were stacked together and hung all over the body. The huge iron helmet wrapped the entire head, and even the neck was tightly surrounded by iron pieces.

Zheng Zhi spent countless money on these iron armors, spent several years, and spent countless manpower. Iron armor and infantry are helpless choices. Iron armor and strong horses are the perfect match.

Perhaps at this moment, a trace of regret arose in my heart.

Zheng Zhi held the spear straight and stared at a bald knight. The spear came out quickly. He then pulled out the spear and was raised high. Blood quickly flowed down from the blade of the gun, soaking Zheng Zhi's arms.

Most people don’t understand why many spears have red tassels on the heads, which are used to absorb the enemy’s blood when killing people, and prevent the blood from flowing to the handle of the spear.

Zheng Zhi's iron spear does not have red tassels, but Zheng Zhi also likes the sticky feeling on the gun rod.

The confrontation between light cavalry and heavy cavalry should not be such a head-on charge. Guerrilla tactics are the best choice.

However, Zheng Zhi has many horses, and guerrilla tactics actually cannot work for Zheng Zhi.

The scimitar cuts on the iron armor, and sparks flew everywhere, but the iron armor fell to the ground. Most people in the grassland like to use knives because the grassland people do not have extra iron to create other shapes of weapons. Knives are closely related to life. They are not only weapons for fighting, but also necessities in life. Slaughtering cattle and sheep, logging wood and tailoring furs must be used. Knives must also be used for combat. Knives are essential for the grassland. A long spear is not. A long spear has no meaning in life and cannot even be considered a decoration.

There is no large number of sharp spears that can stab, which will not have a real threat to the iron armor. This is also one of the reasons why horse lances could be as long as four meters in length during the Tang Dynasty. Because a four-meter horse lance would have many advantages for the Turks during combat.

Ye Kemei came out of the battle formation and looked back, feeling full of regret. Countless empty horsebacks told Ye Kemei that he did something stupid.

The enemy behind was already turning around, but he did not stop, but rushed directly to Mogeshuren who stopped in the distance.

Where can there be more than 30,000 men, women, young and old, cattle and sheep all over the mountains? Retreat from there, perhaps the best choice.

Ali Bieqi saw that he was bald and came straight to him, so he quickly rushed forward, trying to stop the horse's hooves rushing towards his tribe. If tens of thousands of horse's hooves hit him like this, the consequences can be imagined.

"You can also be mist Khan, you can also be mist Khan... You can't rush again..." Ali Beichi shouted and kept waved to signal.

It is also possible to see the 100 people who came out of the horse, and the Ali Bichi who kept waving in front of him, but it is also possible to see the fighting spirit and the horse stance is not stopped at all.
