Kublai Khan praised: "What Zhonghe said is so, and Boyan also dealt with it in this way, and he has destroyed a lot of it. Steel crossbows are not the most terrible weapon. What is terrible is that the Southern Dynasty has packed fires into bags, and the bread outside is tied up with stones, and then exploded in our cavalry formation, with heavy casualties. In the first battle, more than 20,000 cavalry were lost."

"This is a good idea." Guo Kan sat up and was amazed.

Kublai Khan was so impressed that he did not notice the changes in Guo Kan. He then said: "Our cavalry are all light cavalry, and they have become living targets in the face of dense raindrops. There is no possibility of escape at all."

Guo Kan pondered for a moment and said, "This is a headache. If this problem is not solved, the advantage of our cavalry will no longer exist." He thought to himself: "No wonder the emperor is so anxious. It turns out that he has encountered such a difficult thing."

Mongolia started out with cavalry, and it was precisely because of the advantages of cavalry that it established a huge empire. It can be said that cavalry was the foundation of Mongolia's founding. Now this is fundamentally threatened, and the problem is very serious.

"That's right." Kublai Khan said worriedly: "Cynical and He has good plans?"

Guo Kan pondered for a moment and said, "Without it, we can form our heavy cavalry, cover the horse with thick armor, and cover the back and head, and people will wear heavy armor. In this way, the horse's legs are still weak, but there are much fewer parts of the attack, and the losses will be reduced a lot."

Guo Kan is truly a god and a man. In a blink of an eye, he thought of a solution to it.

"This is a good method." Kublai Khan agreed very much, saying: "In this way, the way we fight in the cavalry will change."

Guo Kan expressed his opinion: "Changes are also partial, not all. I think that some heavy cavalry can be formed and equipped with a cavalry spear of more than meter long. The sprinting ability is very terrible and is especially suitable for attacking the enemy's solid formation. I have always believed that our dynasty light cavalry is light and flexible, conducive to field battles, strong mobility, and conducive to long-distance raids. Once I encounter the enemy's solid formation, I lack powerful weapons to attack the enemy's formation. I can only fight and retreat while using the advantage of cavalry and shooting to consume the enemy in the movement.

"Master Badu encountered the enemy's cyclone formations blocking our army during the Western Expedition. Marshal Badu fully utilized the mobility of our cavalry to copy the enemy's rear, occupy the enemy's important centers, and force the enemy to surrender. Although this is a classic battle example, there are also elements of helplessness. If we have heavy cavalry and can disrupt the enemy's formation, I think Marshal Badu would not choose roundabout tactics and would choose to break the front line."

(Note: I personally believe that Mongolia's second western expedition, that is, the Badu Western Expedition, adopted many major roundabout tactics, which has a lot to do with Mongolia's lack of a powerful weapon to rush forward. During the Badu Western expedition, the Mongolian cavalry was a light cavalry and was very unsuitable for fighting head-on with enemies with solid formations. It became inevitable that Badu would adopt roundabout tactics. This is just my personal opinion, and it may be wrong, so please forgive me.)

"Incisive!" Kublai Khan praised it very much and said, "I feel the same about this. We rely too much on light cavalry, and it is not possible without heavy cavalry. We will take this opportunity to build our heavy cavalry. With the powerful weapon of heavy cavalry, we no longer have to be afraid of the enemy's heavy and stable formation."

"Your Majesty, I think the most urgent task is to form a heavy cavalry first, send it to Jiangnan, meet with Boyan in Lin'an, and take over Lin'an with all his strength." Guo Kan fully utilized his talent and said, "The formation of heavy cavalry is between Xiang and Han. First, the Xiang and Han can be used as a starting base, which eliminates the trouble of mobilizing from north to south, and saves time and physical strength. Second, the Xiang and Han are Han areas, and are a region with developed technology in our dynasty, making thick armor convenient."

(Note: If someone asks what the Mongols are the real weakness? I personally think that the Mongols are not lacking in the spirit of martial arts. Their real weakness is not other things, but developed technology without the support of highly developed civilizations. This is the real reason for the decline of the Mongols, at least in part in China. In the peasant war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people used many firearms, and the Mongols lost their original advantages.

This, as one scholar said, was advanced weapons that declined the terrible nomads.)

The Mongols did not have advanced technology, so their arms were made with advanced Han land. People who are familiar with history know that the Song Dynasty's highly developed technology was so difficult that it made people feel frustrated. The land of Xianghan was first seized by the Jin Kingdom, and then fell into the hands of the Mongols, becoming a springboard for the Mongolian army to move south and a strategic base.

Kublai Khan deeply agreed: "I think so too. Zhonghe doesn't know that the Damascus sword can no longer be called a sharp weapon. There was an army in the Southern Dynasty wearing black armor. Each saber in his hand was a treasure sword, which could cut the Damascus sword with one knife. Boyan's first attack on the inner city was to stop this black army. Hua Luchi gave a knife to two pieces, and the Eagle Cavalry suffered heavy casualties."

Guo Kan exclaimed: "Hua Luchi!" Hua Luchi followed him to the west, and was the sharp knife in his hand and his beloved general. The relationship between the two was quite deep. When they heard the news of Hua Luchi's death, Guo Kan was burned inside and spit out a large mouthful of blood. Amid Kublai Kan's scream, the black blood clots were spit out one by one, and all the spit out of the bed was all.

Mrs. Guo came to hear the sound. When she saw the scene in front of her, she thought Guo had finished talking. She was so scared that her pink face was lost and almost fainted. She screamed: "Zhonghe!"

A long laugh sounded, Guo Kan rose up, jumped out of bed, and said with a smile: "Madam, don't worry, my illness is cured."

Guo Kan was still sick and could die at any time. Now he was as vibrant as a dragon and energetic as he could not believe anyone. Mrs. Guo and Kublai Khan looked at Guo Kan in surprise, so surprised that they couldn't even speak.

Guo Kan politely said to Kublai Khan: "My minister, Guo Kan, meets the emperor."

Kublai Kan held Guo Kan in a moment, but still said unbelievably: "Zhonghe, are you really okay?"

Guo Kan nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay. What the emperor sent to me was not evil news, but a good medicine to heal me. Madam, don't worry, with an opponent like Zhao Qi, Guo Kan can't die even if he wants to."

This is normal, but I can’t understand the meaning of the words anymore, that is: Li Jun’s big trouble is coming!

After learning about this, Li Jun kept knocking his head hard and said mockingly: "Since ancient times, only evil news can kill people, and no evil news can cure the disease. Guo Kan's disease is really strange. It's so strange that he actually failed to cure his disease. Bo Yan is so uncomfortable. Guo Kan, who is more powerful than Bo Yan, also came. When I think of this, my head became big."

At the ten-mile long pavilion, Kublai Khan saw Guo Kan and Awa Laoding off, saying, "I will definitely achieve great success this time. Awa Laoding can go to Lin'an first to help Boyan create Hui artillery. Zhonghe has formed the heavy cavalry and is ready to go south depending on the situation."

"I obey the order." Guo Kan and Ava Laoding received the order.

Kublai Khan handed the two of them a glass of wine and said, "After drinking this glass of Zhuangxing wine, you two will set off."

Guo Kan and Ava Laoding said, "Thank you, the emperor." After drinking cheers, bowed to Kublai Khan, he turned over and drove south.
