Chapter 1438: Tianjing Pass! [2]

Cavalry, and another name.

The King of War.

Since the existence of the cavalry branch, it has always been the trump card on the battlefield.

When infantry faces cavalry, even with ten times the enemy, they can only maintain a non-defeat.

Wanting to defeat cavalry is almost impossible.

Because cavalry not only has powerful combat effectiveness but also possesses absolute mobility.

Even if they can't win, they can quickly withdraw from the battlefield.

Of course, the role of cavalry is more than that.

Tiring the enemy, harassing the enemy, cutting off supplies, surrounding, and horse archery are all tactics available to cavalry.

When an army composed entirely of cavalry faces an army composed entirely of infantry, the war between the two is not fair.

As long as the infantry stops, the cavalry will harass them.

Therefore, even if it is consumption, it will drag the infantry down completely.

The reason why the Liangzhou Army is strong, and why it is invincible and captures everything it attacks, is because Liangzhou has powerful cavalry.

The White Horse Volunteers under Gongsun Zan are not cavalry put together temporarily, but cavalry that has long been good at contending with grassland alien cavalry.

In addition, there are three thousand Wuhuan cavalry good at horse archery to cooperate.

Wanting to defeat them will definitely not be so easy.

"General Qu, we are all infantry on this trip, and we don't have an advantage against Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers."

Gao Shun analyzed cautiously: "If there were a cavalry unit here, we could still maneuver. Relying entirely on infantry is indeed very dangerous."

Qu Yi's gaze was always fixed on the map in front of him.

Of course, he did not ignore Gao Shun's words.

It's just... after hearing that Gongsun Zan had all cavalry under his command, and discovering some clues on the map, Qu Yi seemed to have already had a plan.

After Gao Shun's voice fell, Qu Yi reached out and pointed to a location.

That place was originally a valley road they were preparing to cross the Taihang Mountains.

After crossing the Taihang Mountains from that position, one could arrive at Henei Commandery.

"General Gao, I don't need too many people. Just give me five thousand people, and five thousand people will be enough for me to make Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers fold their halberds and sink into the sand," Qu Yi said confidently.

Hmm?

Gao Shun looked at Qu Yi in astonishment.

"Don't worry, I, Qu Yi, never speak big words. Just five thousand people will be enough to solve this White Horse Gongsun Zan."

"General Gao leads the remaining troops to station in Gaodu County."

"In this way, even if I am defeated, it will not affect the overall situation."

Gao Shun frowned and thought carefully.

This trip, the two were ordered by Jia Xu to attack Shangdang Commandery.

Gao Shun was the main general, and Qu Yi was the deputy general.

If Gao Shun did not allow it, Qu Yi would have no way to mobilize troops.

But at this moment, looking at Qu Yi's confident appearance, Gao Shun also hesitated.

"General Qu, are you really sure?" Gao Shun asked.

Qu Yi nodded forcefully: "Just five thousand troops will be enough."

Gao Shun took a deep breath and nodded. ===== CHAPTER 1440 =====
