Datang: Let you supervise the country and become an emperor through the ages

Chapter 341 Weaknesses of Heavy Cavalry
Based on Li Shimin's understanding of Li Fu, whenever he holds such a contemptuous attitude, it is something that he finds difficult for him, and he can easily overcome it.

[In this era, the power of heavy cavalry is comparable to that of tanks. As an elite unit, it can be called invincible. 】

[After all, the man and the horse are all in heavy armor, and both the man and the horse have only two eyes exposed. They are holding heavy weapons, and a few or dozens of heavy cavalry are connected together. The power is just like that of a moving city. Generally speaking, whoever comes will be crushed. 】

[Ordinary cavalry has at most one layer of armor, or even leather armor, while heavy cavalry has double armor, and some even deliberately tie sharp weapons on the outside of the armor, just like hedgehogs. It is the existence of invincibility. 】

[On the battlefield of this era, everything is based on human life. If you encounter heavy cavalry in a field battle, unless you have more than a hundred times the vitality and exhaust the heavy cavalry and the opponent's horse to death, you will have nothing to do with the opponent. Method. 】

[But the heavy cavalry is not without its weaknesses. On the contrary, its weaknesses are very obvious, and its flaws are even more fatal. 】

[This kind of cavalry armed with heavy armor and special soldiers is basically a gold swallowing beast, and the maintenance cost is extremely high. It is impossible for a nomadic people like Gaochang to maintain the existence of such a gold swallowing beast for a long time. 】

[Especially the cavalry on the modern battlefield, the main advantage lies in mobility. The horses in Gaochang, the Jinyiwei have already had relevant secret reports, most of them are short and have poor endurance. Once they are covered with double armor, they will easily lose their strength. 】

[It is true that horses can be changed when they are tired on the battlefield, but changing horses during a decisive battle is a terrible thing. 】

[So Li Er was simply intimidated by the superficial strength of the heavy cavalry, completely ignoring its weaknesses and our advantages, being cowardly before a battle, there is no reason not to lose a battle! 】

[So there is no need to take Gaochang Kingdom's heavy cavalry seriously at all. His heavy cavalry can't exceed ten thousand cavalry, at most three thousand, and they can only be used together, which makes it easier to defeat! 】

Li Shimin's eyes gradually widened. He listened carefully to Li Fu's heartfelt feelings. He quickly relaxed from his nervousness about the heavy cavalry, and suddenly felt that he had indeed entered into a misunderstanding.

According to Li Fu's statement, the heavy cavalry is not completely invincible, but he thinks it is too powerful.

So Li Shimin listened carefully to Li Fu's explanation of the weaknesses of the heavy cavalry, and when he heard the important details, he would desperately repeat and memorize them in his heart, trying to get a thorough understanding of these knowledge points as soon as possible.

[The weaknesses of heavy cavalry are actually obvious, and there are many, horse eyes, human legs, horse legs, these are one of the weaknesses of heavy cavalry, because there is no way to cover those places with heavy armor. 】

[However, the most direct way to deal with the heavy cavalry is to cut off the horse's legs. Without the horse's legs, the heavy cavalry is nothing, not even the heavy infantry. 】

[As long as the heavy cavalry in Gaochang is overthrown by cutting off the horse's legs, our cavalry will cover up and kill them, and these so-called heavy cavalry will be trampled to death by our cavalry! 】

Horse legs, human legs, horse eyes... Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and the scene in Li Fu's mind of attacking heavy cavalry flashed in his mind. He really wanted to slap his own thigh!

Why didn't I think of such an easy strategy?It’s ridiculous that I was actually scared!
Gaochang Kingdom's heavy cavalry, although the man and the horse were covered with double armor, but the horse's eyes, human legs and horse legs could not be completely covered, and they were still exposed.

That being the case, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty can quickly penetrate, and use arrows or spears to stab the horse's eyes or human legs of the heavy cavalry, creating opportunities for the infantry to cut the horse's leg.

In other words, just let the infantry wait for the opportunity to enter and cut off the horse's legs, so that the heavy cavalry will lie down directly, and the lethality will be greatly reduced. lamb!
Li Shimin's heart suddenly became clear, and he thought that it was a good thing he had listened to Li Fu's words, otherwise he might not be sure that he would really waste people's money and gather a whole army of heavy cavalry to fight Gaochang.

[Actually, Li Er is really smart. Isn’t the Mo Dao Army I founded just to deal with heavy cavalry? 】

[He only saw the power of the Modao army against light cavalry and infantry, but if the Modao fighters were under the cover of the cavalry, they pierced into the front of the heavy cavalry, with the sharpness of the Modao, how could the heavy cavalry be opponents? ? 】

[And my gasoline, he never thought of using it on the battlefield, or simply making gasoline throwing bottles, setting traps for Gaochang's heavy cavalry, luring them into a trap, and pouring gasoline on them! 】

[Heavy cavalry with gasoline on their bodies, once the gasoline is ignited, the scene, oh, the scene must be spectacular! 】

Li Shimin saw the scene of the heavy cavalry being buried in the flames in Li Fu's mind, and he gasped for a moment.

Originally, in his opinion, it was almost impossible to solve the problem, but in Li Fu's hands, it turned out to be a pediatric problem!

Li Shimin felt very ashamed when he thought that he had asked Li Fu to quickly make a firearm and use it to deal with the heavy cavalry.

So many simple methods were not used, and he insisted on fixing the most troublesome and time-consuming ones, Li Shimin was suddenly ashamed.

Li Fu had these thoughts in his heart, but he didn't say anything, he even shouted at Li Shimin, "Uh, father, the matter of firearms, I will urge you to resolve them as soon as possible. You have to give me time, after all, firearms are not safe. , you have to be a little patient."

Li Shimin frowned. As a prince, he is good at everything, but he doesn't like to show himself. He obviously has such a good plan, but he still hides it.

This is also what Li Shimin is most dissatisfied with Li Fu. After all, Li Fu is going to be the emperor in the future. He is so tired and lazy, and he wants people to guess his intentions. Isn't it easy to be self-defeating?

But it must be more because of himself now, he is unwilling to reveal his ability, Li Shimin thought of this, waved his hand, "Okay, then you step back, hurry up and go to the firearms workshop to supervise the work."

Li Fu liked hearing this the most, so he quickly agreed to leave.

As soon as he left here, the eunuch in front of the palace came to report, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei, the Duke of England, the Duke of Lu and the Duke of E are waiting outside the palace, please see Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin naturally knew why his princes came, and immediately announced their presence.

"Your Majesty, have you read the front-line military newspaper? The Northland is not good!" Cheng Yaojin entered the main hall, and after saluting Li Shimin, he immediately started bluffing.
