Ancient History from the Chinese point of view

 The ancient Chinese dynasty, almost every Central Plains nomads are facing the threat of the plateau from the north. One of the most important reason is, is the Central Plains farming nation. Central China is the main source of soldiers, farmers. Segment of society, farmers accounted for an absolute majority. Professional army is not equal to professional armies. Nothing to do with the battle of life. Militia, the militia, that is, everyday farmers, The nomadic life itself and the way their operations, they in fact every day in training. Thus, nomadic peoples can only say is a Preparation of horse cavalry attack and defense lead to a substantial increase in power, therefore, the same number of infantry, cavalry can not compete with the same number, it is only right and proper. As for the Central Plains, because the horse was the best weapon of war ---- the lack of the Chinese in the north generally in a position to resist aggression, and aggression in general unable to others. Only when the Central Plains has a strong cavalry, to take advantage of the northern nomads (such as the Han. Tang.) However, even with enough horse, can not change China's traditional agricultural country compared to the nomadic nature of their introverted nature led to reduction of the fact of its aggression. This has resulted in the war in northern China, most in their own soil, and generally has the nature of aggression and to defend the homeland. In this case, the Central Plains and Northern cavalry, the infantry had to carry out a field is not a fair contest.

understandable, from the perspective of field tactics, cavalry to infantry in the field have a huge advantage. Under normal circumstances, the cavalry and infantry would not If you really want to Step formation of more war no matter Corps, even though the number of dominant again, with even the best tactics, once the enemy Jingji tear line, often never led. Even if there is a reliable infantry position basis, to fend off cavalry, it is difficult to build on this. Because the major battle after the victory of victories from being pursued, the speed difference makes the infantry thrust usually not on the cavalry. So full of cold weapons (no guns, no shotgun) cases, have to deal with cavalry, infantry measures. However, because of mobility and the impact a lot of difference, which is self-protection only.

course, everything is not absolute, history, Li Ling, Having submitted, Yue Fei,UGG boots cheap, Qi his troops have all the steps to create a brilliant ride to win wars against. Description cavalry though strong, is not invincible. Military history Yuejia Jun elite cavalry hit gold - cripple horses seem easy is not true. First, the quality of Ma Sapporo knife demanding man, in fact, elite squads. Timing of war but also to master, this account can only be used once, must give the other party caused heavy casualties. Be prepared because in the case of the cavalry, Ma Sapporo heavy cavalry sword that want to take on the lives of ordinary life is not easy to change horses. Fortunately, the high cost of consumable re-ride hard fill, you can try to consume it. In addition, the infantry is to win out the cavalry also bound by strict discipline, curried. This is manifested directly in the war to maintain the formation and maintenance. Such as the infantry to ensure that the discipline of death calmly, then rely on spearmen and archers to curb its impact with, and then gradually eroded to form the cavalry is not square can not do. In fact this is an important way to win Yue Jiajun of one. Finally, Yue Jiajun also has a very elite cavalry, the infantry is not alone on the plains with Jingji recklessly. A sub-theme, and later Yuan Dynasty Mongol horsemen by the rebels can return the Mongolian Plateau, one of the reasons is that they have elite cavalry, the cavalry on horseback. But the number of amount only.

In addition, farming than the national human and material resources is a major advantage of the relative strength of nomadic, plains without insurance, so to keep the traditional Chinese way of a fortification. Through the construction of fortresses and forts, the soldiers and supplies hidden in the fortress city in the approach to deal with the invasion of the barbarian cavalry looting and killing to get through the recharge mode. So that they do not carry supplies for the plundering of resources which can not be forced to return to achieve without a fight the soldiers of the state. After all the cavalry to fight off infantry in the event of the walls and good defense, but the defensive side of food, manpower, equipment enough, even more of the cavalry may not be broken. After all the cavalry in the streets, and no advantage. This is particularly evident in the emergence of firearms - Poet Peninsular campaign, the Ming Dynasty in the cavalry eaten in Pyongyang street fighting soldiers burned the Japanese guns.

final step attached to the ancient way of riding.

1, Field: infantry against cavalry, the main play is the vehicle combat. Surrounded the cart, the front inward. Out with the barricades, Tribulus terrestris, the car hard with the strong bow crossbow wait. If no car, is more of digging trenches, guard against conflict. And to shield the outer protection. If Diji conflict, the crossbow should be of a hard strong bow, to the front, places engaged the big guns. Standard two big guns, a long ridge or eight feet (about 5 meters), the number of people who hold the gun after the ground to meet the horse. A ten feet eight inches long (about 3 meters), Lux held it, to fill the gaps in the elderly. Another armed infantry seven feet (about 2 meters), Luanqiang save thorns. Behind the knife card soldiers, and from the collusion. Field often law, just so. Crucial is that chaos formation, keep the enemy in the battle outside. I am Tai Chi in the law passed thirteen guns, which the infantry marksmanship.

2, city of war. Against cavalry, the best solution is to defenders. Cavalry can not siege, such as to siege, to dismount, then the infantry attack. Defenders of the law, bows and arrows at the head. Another stone cannon of the law, that riprap machine also. Offensive and defensive of the law, historical data are contained. Such as city break, the cavalry galloped into the city, infantry hidden in the corner of the wall is only after a hard strong bow crossbow to shoot it. Or soldiers in the alley with a knife brand to hit the corner of Zhongping Marines. Such as face to face Yingkang, all losers. But the city a break, For what this famous elite, who freely constraints? As for the mountains, rivers, have restrictions on the cavalry. Application of the law, no more than that. Phi heavy armor to the enemy cavalry, and I shot of the Crossbow. At or near, in addition to the big guns, but the warriors who blow of the ax or mace. Liu Shunchang war, this method to defeat the enemy. Who was collusion, nor cut cards, but with iron reduction and the like. I am eighteen Taijiquan iron law Jane, that is the case.

- thanks tiger

students to provide information in order to meet the cavalry, the ancient Chinese Infantry brigade combat with combat, combat units, combat teams, and individual combat a variety of ways. If the soldiers were disciplined enough good, quality is high enough, the line was broken, you can immediately set up, platoons to continue the fight. Relatively slow moving infantry undeniably true. Therefore,UGGs, the infantry on an absolute disadvantage in the motor, catch up, do not go to escape. Therefore, the infantry on the plain is the only way to attack the enemy themselves, then defeated in battle and consumption of the enemy. The enemy is not an idiot, they did not know if the mess is not cheap, so before the battle of the Therefore, the battle of the These, we must rely on two things:

one to rely on strict discipline, Peoples as one, in the field, the infantry, cavalry encounter, we must rely on strict discipline maintained. A good infantry, was at all times remain in line, in the tens or even hundreds of miles away sent a scout, with a variety of means to spread the message, or by the line in the camping area strict blackout. Therefore, we can effectively find dozens or even several hundred miles of the enemy. This infantry marching in formation, at any time can be quickly transformed into a battle formation, this force camp battle, at any time can become a Once inside the theater, in the camp, all the infantry take turns to rest, at all times maintain at least half of the soldiers have combat capability. Such as infantry, ask the way to its raid with Han?

while in combat, a well-disciplined infantry forces are terrible. Stays on its soldiers, security as a rock. The impact of the enemy, they are not afraid, even knifed down position and never moved. If there is no command returned fire, each of them unafraid of death, orders to advance on 100 if the step, no one-step or 99 steps into the 101. The key should have the courage to persist under the disadvantage. Insisted that victory. If you can not insist, inevitably destroyed. He is like the tide, I like rock. This discipline is the backbone of how to get it? Wei Liao Zi, said Gu Zhishan military forces were able to kill the death of the half. Is obtained through Heaven and reward. In history, there was indeed such a force. Li Ling, Having submitted, Yue Fei, Qi his troops are to achieve such a result (of their deeds, see related records). This force can only be destroyed and can not be broken up, only to be overwhelmed by the enemies of absolute advantage, comparative advantage and not be surrounded by enemies segmentation.

Second, the ability to rely on generals, especially for fighting and I love the grasp of the enemy. Of course, if you can master a cavalry, then a greater threat to the enemy.

here to emphasize that discipline. Discipline is what the determinants of the battlefield. If you have iron discipline, the soldier will not be shaken for any failure. War is to man a machine process. An Iron Army, on the battlefield, not only win the heart, there must Bisizhixin.

take the Ming Dynasty as an example here:

the late Ming dynasty, corruption, deep into the army. The schools are not with the soldiers, Not with the soldiers, The biggest feature is the Manchu soldiers, disciplined, curried (where discipline was not referring to the protection of civilians. Manchu soldiers murder is known to the world.) Manchu soldiers, military system is simple, the whole army Banners, flags, but the main beef the next record,UGG boots clearance, a two assassination. And the cavalry, the command can be communicated in a timely manner, and once operational command of cowardice or do not listen to immediately Heaven; combat Yongming, then immediately raised him, thanks to Jinbo slaves. Ming soldiers in this war, Yan Debu win?

Therefore, war, the most important thing is discipline. With discipline, the core can be curried, leaving only two elements: First, wars. The weapons issue. Second, the tactical ability. Will lead the judge and the ability to grasp. As for the people, a political aspects. Military and political decisions, but not fighting a particular political decision. The specific process of fighting, the most important thing is discipline, followed by tactical ability and wars.

look at Battle of the examples:

fertilizer of the war, my point is no big relations and strategy. King Fu army of 100 million, in fact wronged him. Forward 5 million, with the remaining troops, for a total investment of only 20 million. Xie Gongzi 30000.

this campaign, there are two core areas:

first is the Fu king's soldiers can not actually back constraints, chaos!

second is the Zhu sequence which actually makes all the Chi voice phenomenon occurs in panic!

This shows what? Fu king's soldiers is that rabble! To 30,000 troops to fight 200 000 mob, do not win, is an idiot! Xie Gongzi true that a strategy? The so-called strategy, just asking Chi back it! If this, too, strategy, and the world no one strategy will not use it! But also in the fertilizer after the failure of the withdrawal of remaining troops actually withdrew, mutiny mutiny, see King Fu is not a single phenomenon but a lack of discipline common phenomenon!

sum up: strategy, is a general need for quality, but not the fundamental qualities. Running the army, is the fundamental quality of the generals.

strategies such as luring the enemy, we must have bait. The bait is as one man can really do so entered into, so back to back? Approaching the enemy, can not panic, not chaos? Ambush, there should be an ambush. Can this really be disciplined ambush, but in the excitement, not fear, strictly follow orders, but the early attack, do not delay the time? Without discipline, you are wise commander, also no good. Yes, history is recorded in a number of strategies to achieve by the David and Goliath case, but to think about why the name to these wars through the ages? Because the unexpected victory, the premise requires harsh, the process is full of randomness and chance, such wars are often not replicated. On the other hand 99% of the history of the fighting is the training and discipline to win a good one, can be replicated. Peerless peerless Baichi finishers and not often, most of the basic theoretical study and received combat training of commanders and command capabilities will not be much difference, this time you will win their hopes on the army's combat effectiveness or powerful generals that on a sudden inspiration of uncertainty? In fact the ancient name will often have to rely on a behind the biggest phase of an order of the division to support.

and running the army, if the worst of troops will temporarily maintain discipline to the generals, who did not obey orders to fight it (because soldiers have become accustomed to not listen to the command), the inevitable collapse of a thousand miles. If the interim if the bad forces to maintain discipline will be general war, or the inevitable collapse of a thousand miles. Because one can not discipline the troops, the command will not listen. Command not listen to the generals with orders for the Han? If the elite do not maintain the discipline to the generals, playing up there must be confusion. Because the battlefield is to general to the specific discipline to maintain. But even so, if the core is still the lower officers, likely to remain a small battle group to fight to live. Even in the lower officers has had the case may be fighting each other, until the case died. But the elite to maintain discipline, but will not fight the generals, the force could eventually be In other words, the general's every move could be wrong, but the soldiers faithfully discharged their duties, hit the

the final analysis, people, the core of the problem is to survive. And afraid to die, is a human instinct. War is the death of the person into position.

Therefore, there must be a force, people risking his own life.

Therefore, political education is the basis for discipline. You die, they want to know why death.

However, only political education is not enough. Confusion on the battlefield, any person who saw the risk of death at any time, will produce This requires them to overcome this idea. The only way to overcome this idea that discipline. Does not comply with the order, to nothing, In this case, instead of being

to believe that a fundamental point: afraid to die is a human instinct. Does not recognize this, was a scholar's view.

cold weapons of war fighting and struggle to answer questions

lined up. infantry in the middle, the cavalry on both sides, called Lai array of fish. The two sides of the infantry, called in the army. the army is lined up to fight. generally is vertical each team, the first is the standard-bearer, the name of the flag, followed by the players, holding a large shield, then followed by the gunmen, with rifles, and then followed by archers, with bows and arrows. the two sides that go on. come to a stone's throw to a halt. Why did you stop? because the other side of the archers will archery, will not let you close. Therefore, the two sides can only be at a distance, that is, the range of arrows. called Shezhu position.

then, ready to rage. in front of the standard-bearer to the back and retreated behind a player , is called to open gates. because of war, the standard-bearer is a command, not too forward, but they were not resistance. Now Games also retain the open gates. Junqi now, the flag is no resistance, but lose to seize also come from here. Then, the two sides began to enter, until contact with, players block, gunmen poke people in the back.

but on into the process, disturb each other's formation, the two sides will sent a cavalry squad, while sounding in the other run, while archery, or throwing an ax to the inside. because they run very fast, few people (such as sniper) is not in the shot put them, too wasteful archer shot arrows of emission, On the battlefield, an archer with 50 arrows up. generally only 20 sticks. So, the other team also sent the cavalry to fight them. This has created a sounding of the two sides in the case of fighting. This is the fight will be. If the Lord, or general stuff high, and great courage, and perhaps personally led. bucket to the main techniques: the two sides across the Mercedes-Benz close. why on the surface? because one is an attack, one was intercepted. This can only face to face. The two sides rushing to the missing time, each counter an attack or defense. this time the horse is kept, to continue to the opposite impulse. why horse kept? one is the horse too fast, and the second is that nobody pulled the reins. because once this for strokes, his hands than one hand cheaper. soon the weapon, if it is a big stick, is the lance, or a big gun, is the spear, or sword, the power of a hand is far worse than the two hands you, or if a pole Double Tieqiang, which handle two hands, but two offensive and defensive. So mostly in contact with the rider when standing on the saddle stirrup step for this trick.'ve crossed a road, pulling the reins so that horse turned and rushed the second time, this called a round. back, is back, together, that is, hands together. both are fierce, but not convinced, may be tens or hundreds of round red. Of course, it may throw the archers, which is hidden in the flag Archery behind the door may also play a two, this is bully friends. three to play, that is, while the three attackers rushed to the target or not at the same time. This may take a beating that miserable friends. this play, that The need to keep beating parry, must lose. So play Guanzhang Riboud also support all three ran up his friends. can not play, too bullying. storytellers on the description and a revolving door so as to see is not the same like on the is lining up on. but also from the side, from the other side, the left has not cope with this Riboud finished, the right of the attack may well come again, he did not run to trouble. The two sides will fight, you can join it is called collusion. If the losing party to Ben himself in the military directly forced gone, and then once the errors in the army command, broke formation, the other team immediately just like the cavalry coming to kill, the group followed suit, called the red matrix. the other follow-up Army brigades could be in the cavalry after the motor may be in the military after the mobile infantry, called Watchdata is the meaning of the reserve. indiscriminate force to tear the other battle, the army pressed on again, the other to chaos Rights . So, fighting to lose you, usually while walking around the front to avoid the impulse to open their own battle.

fight will look similar, they can not disturb the other battle, there is only one way, the two sides closer. aspect of walking , side shot. player block. If Shedao front, and back fill immediately. This road, to remain in line chaos. So the training is very important to the queue. and go a few steps, pause, to keep the cross in the formation . both on top of you, to start playing. generally withstood the player is to get a license, knifed the other hand. Because endure intensive, mainly from the knife down on hacking. gunmen behind the bar gun. So said a gun battle did not Huaqiang, that is, take the tie bar. This is our fist spectrum said Wang Zhongping gun guns. levels of the gunmen is not high, just to take up guns to drop down, broke down the other side can at least gun. This is what we said a large spectrum of boxing great chop seal. so big chop out large seal behind the gun in Zhongping. really touch on the matter, archers of little use, so the archers with a pole. when is the knife fight friends.

labeled in the military line, outflanking cavalry come out from both sides. as long as the package to the back, the other battle to chaos. But the other side there are cavalry, so the cavalry began fighting cavalry, who lost who should end.

If a training course, Fang Bubing good is done for their own cavalry, infantry can resist a timely manner, not chaos formation, that name will be considered elite. infantry against cavalry, the easiest way is to Tribulus terrestris, a square iron nails on the floor . This is something of a nail a foot long, even if the horse Tiezhang can also block it, then wait on that bow. we Han Chinese crossbow, this kind of thing long range and large force. because it requires sophisticated smelting iron and copper job, Hu people usually do not. So this is a killer weapon. Zhuge Wu Hou Faming Liannu, this kind of thing a pressure of six arrows, continuous pull the trigger to be fired, just like the automatic rifle, an absolute killer. There are some larger the crossbow, it is very terrible. archers in the army in the end, is to ensure that the cavalry to deal with each other around on the back. as long as the cavalry on the back around to the formation of encirclement. their formation of a disorder, the other as long as the cut to become friends. < br>
this Buji array of mutual attacks, is not the elite corps of combat troops into consideration. Because of the mobile reserve forces may not be the most elite troops. because the results of the cold war is not a weapons array wave or several waves of attacks can be done, so strong mobile combat reserve is to ensure the follow-up. reserve in modern warfare is also important. and often tear the main line of defense is the elite troops completed combat it, the combat power focused on that the tear line, the follow-up follow-up, and before and after the formation of large forces (so) attack of the battle, disrupt the other position, leading to failure of each command, low morale,UGG boots, and then defeat the enemy. but the two sides should also be trained in the military guard there elements of the force, not easily defeated once the. and usually have a large army operations before, during and after the Army of the points, also left, and right armed forces of the points. as long as the fighting in the army but also effectively, simply a part of or parts of operations can not decide the outcome of the final victory of the entire battle ah. is who should decide the outcome of the military command to kill each other.

This is the ancient style of play. Of course, from the Ming Dynasty to have guns, not necessarily that play friends. This means that one probably. Taijiquan, it is retained: one gunman and a large cavalry marksmanship, so this kind of thing we go to long. where the gunman is closed split, like thirteen guns. cavalry split seal is not required, like Huanhou gun. Second, the two knives and swords cavalry law, this kind of thing to be fast. Third, the great cavalry blade. this thing to will take this chance. As for the traditional sword, knife, fist, it is knight thing, not a battlefield thing. especially the single-pole, and the battlefield is not the same word is to take a cut for everyday self-defense. Tai Chi Chuan the content of outside sword, knife, fist, and this is why. The composition of law in China often say that local advantage. That is guaranteed in principle, some advantages of local array. Such as pawns to be placed in a lightly armed wing opponents if the attack this point, so quickly become such a dominant wing of a wing to wrap the enemy. Chinese people more easily in a war hundreds of thousands, millions, therefore the cold steel in ancient China the war, are generally not annihilated by defeat. War is not a battle, and focus on the strategy. This is called: the good will who care about the pros and cons of a city of a pool. And the West because of Bing Shao, so basically a battle over a war hit ~

PS: the cavalry stirrup can not be very hard not to complete the action thorns, but it is easy to drag a knife. In fact, even with the stirrups, mostly infantry cavalry hanging on the knife, gently cut as mowing the past, as can the. Length of cavalry cavalry weapon prone to puncture type of attack a fatal blow, was fighting the first choice. Field capacity of various arms of ancient China are not absolute advantage, so to maintain arms balance and the formation of the more important features. As Mongolia is an exception, the main tactics of his cavalry is remote and not melee, Mongolia, riding and shooting the innate quality of the absolute position of the manpower  Mongols riding and archery, then Mongolian composite bow + + tactical + terrain on the sparrow to break all the branches of the military balance, when the nation is unable to do anything with it in the plain field. This is also rampant in Europe and Asia to Mongolia, an important reason. Incidentally, the Roman empire estimated to be most important nation infantry formation, but this type of warfare a tendon is not in fact technical content. Tactics of their opponents always felt that more general, political, economic and difficult to compete with Rome, but not extremely powerful nomads. The results of the Roman Empire became a local invincible. Han regime has been the most powerful of all time against the nomads, light infantry, heavy emphasis on front is suicide. Little horse is unable to get the natural weakness of the matter, had acquired complement deficiencies, and more arms and more equipment with the great variety of formations strong barrier walls, undefeated but they do so must not be a troublesome nomads. European traditional Mongolian Buji Tactics in Batu slaughtered like swine and sheep under the iron heel, compete with each in the self-evident.
