Are the Huns scary?

If it was a few years ago, perhaps the Han army would still feel a little timid towards the Huns.

But now, it's not that I look down on people, but that the Xiongnu gives people the impression that it's really nothing more than that.

Are the Huns strong or not?

This depends on comparison.

As the saying goes, if you compare things with others, you will die if you compare things with others.

The principle is the same. After fighting several battles with the Huns, the entire Han Dynasty had a deeper understanding of the Xiongnu's combat effectiveness, command capabilities, combat methods, combat ideas, etc.

And after in-depth analysis, when the most mysterious veil was lifted.

Everyone discovered that, in fact, the Huns were just like that.

Of course, it comes down to that, and we should despise what should be despised, and we should never despise what should not be despised.

After thoroughly studying the Xiongnu's combat thinking and methods and other detailed information, the imperial court also conducted a comprehensive analysis on this and the strategic methods to deal with it.

In other words, when all the thousand-man-level officers of the Han army see the Huns, they can basically know what to do with them by just glancing at their formation.

Capable officers can make subtle changes according to standard procedures to achieve the best combat results.

Officers who have little confidence can just use the standard to deal with it, at least tactically they will not be completely defeated.

Of course, what really determines victory or defeat depends on the personal qualities of the soldiers and the cooperation of the team.

The Han army had no problems in this regard.

Even these Yuezhi soldiers under Ma Ya don't have any big problems. Even if the tacit understanding is not reached, their commanders will lead them to achieve the set goals.

And how did the Huns fight?

The routine is actually very simple. The most common one is for the cavalry to rush forward, using the impact and speed of the cavalry to quickly open the gap, destroy the enemy's formation, and expand the gap so that it cannot be connected end to end, thus forcing the opponent to be unable to combine its combat power.

The purpose is to exert it and be gradually cannibalized by one's own side.

The other is to send people around to attack the enemy from multiple sides.

The scouts were sent to conduct reconnaissance earlier to confirm whether the Huns had divided their forces.

Although it only detected a distance of ten miles, it was almost enough.

The main reason is that there is not enough time, and with such a geographical environment, the Huns are unlikely to have much space to deploy these strategies.

Because within a hundred miles between the two armies, there are a large number of scouts constantly cross-probing.

Similarly, asking people on both sides to pay attention is to prevent the enemy's main camp from suddenly dividing its troops and attacking from a pincer attack.

As long as the opponent moves, the cavalry on the corresponding side will leave the main camp and actively engage in combat with the troops on the opposite side responsible for executing the pincer attack, making them unable to complete the established pincer mission.

When the distance between the two sides is still about three miles.

Maia gave the order to charge.

The Hun cavalry's speed had already increased, and their charge would take longer.

But relatively speaking, the peak speed of the war horse is relatively fixed. The longer the charge takes, the greater the physical exertion on the war horse.

So this doesn't make much sense.

The charging distance of a single war horse is about one hundred meters, which is the distance required to charge from standstill to speed. This is the premise of only one rider with light equipment.

Group charge is divided into many steps, formation, slow walk, fast walk, jog, accelerated run, and full speed charge.

After completing these steps, the total distance will take about 200 to 300 meters.

The weight of the load is also a key factor that affects the charging distance.

Why couldn't the war horses raised by the people during the Han Dynasty period be used?

Most of the war horses fell at this stage.

Because war horses need to carry heavy loads for combat, the war horses raised by civilians are relatively poor in this regard. They cannot charge up at all when carrying fully armed soldiers, or their endurance is not good, so they can only be eliminated.

Now the war horses of the Han army are all obtained from the Xiongnu and the Yuezhi people. They are horse breeds produced in the plateau and cold areas and grew up in this living environment.

So physical strength is not a big problem. In addition, these war horses have been at the northern border. After the Huns fled, they would go for a walk on the grassland from time to time to maintain their physical strength.

Therefore, the Han army's cavalry charge distance with the weight added was about 400 meters. This refers to the sprint speed from a stationary state in a group charge situation.

Of course, different environments have different requirements.

Cavalry charges on the battlefield are divided into two modes: initial charge and cross charge.

The first type is the current one, where two armies face each other and charge directly at a certain distance.

The second type is when the two armies have come into contact, each has run behind the other, and needs to turn around and start charging again.

In this case, it is difficult to open a distance of 400 meters before charging.

So usually we start to turn around when we reach about 100 to 200 meters, and then directly reverse the direction and conduct a second charge.

At this time, the charging speed of both sides will not be too fast, and the physical strength of the war horses has been consumed, so the disadvantage in speed is no longer so obvious.

The service life of the war horse is also determined based on this use environment.

The difference between a good war horse and a bad war horse is that a good war horse can charge several times more, while a bad war horse is basically scrapped after one battle and must be replaced with a new one to continue fighting.

The principle is the same as driving a car and pressing the accelerator to the bottom.

It will cause permanent and irreversible damage to the engine.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Huns not to know the impact that a premature charge would have on themselves, but there was nothing they could do about it.

They had to launch the charge in advance. If it was too late, it would give the Han army more time to prepare.

The distance of four hundred meters passed by in the blink of an eye. The speed of the Yuezhi cavalry had reached sprinting speed, and was even slightly faster than the opposite Hun cavalry.

At this moment, the distance between the two sides was only less than three hundred meters.

Both sides were charging at the fastest speed. The distance of three hundred meters was actually not that far, and it only took about ten seconds for them to make contact.

The front row holds guns and the back row holds bows. The Yuezhi people have long been proficient in this fighting method.

They used this trick at the beginning, and they beat the rioting Yuezhi people with a few blows and made them doubt their life.

The Han army used the same trick when dealing with the Huns.

Of course, what they are using now is an improved version.

Or how can we say that the Han Dynasty was very powerful?

As long as they have fought with you, they will immediately summarize their experience, discuss and respond to problems on the battlefield, conduct tests, and then promote them.

As a school captain, Maia was the one who took the lead in charging. However, he did not rush to the front. Instead, he was located in the center of the team and charged parallel to the first row of cavalry.

The two sides were about to fight, Maia slightly adjusted the position of the cavalry gun in his hand, and suddenly roared...
