Battle between the ancient nomadic cavalry archers and the mixed army of settlers.

1. The basic strategy of nomadic forces - swarm; gather.attack in droves- refers to the intensive attack of several units on a specific target. 

①Effective Use of Swarm - Divide units into small groups and take turns hitting and pulling out.The mounted archers in the back are direct as they go forward, and the mounted archers in the front are bent over their shoulders as they fall back.These attacks, as if they were a wave, are of paramount importance. 

②Why do you need a swarm? First, the hit rate has increased.Even if you can't hit the target, you can meet other goals, and it's hard to hit because the number of allies is dispersed and you can move freely. Second, it's good to retreat.The surrounding forces can easily escape if their power is weakened or exhausted, but the surrounding forces cannot.Of course, if there is an enemy force outside the surrounding force, the surrounding force is often involved in reverse. Third, it is advantageous for securing and disseminating information.The army is spread out and open, so it is possible to respond immediately to the situation elsewhere and to continue to recruit supplies.Of course, it's impossible for a besieged force to do so. 

③So how do you solve a worm?How can I avoid getting caught? In order not to be surrounded, it is important to secure the same mobility as the enemy or to utilize the terrain that can limit the enemy's mobility.If you are surrounded, you must firmly protect your formation while waiting for salvation outside.An archer who can respond to the enemy is also essential, and if there is no archer, it must somehow withstand it with the power of defense.However, it is important to note that the power of defense equipment is also limited. 

④Do you need only a swarm? No. Swarm alone cannot do fatal damage to the enemy, and even if it does, it takes too long.Also, in order to quickly destroy the enemy at once, close combat or charge is important, and an appropriate number of medium-sized soldiers or infantry is required to achieve this.Most nomadic armies mobilized infantry or heavily armed heavy-duty soldiers to war. 

⑤The final strategy is, first of all, it is important to attract the enemy to light-armed soldiers.The enemy must also be somewhat prepared for the nomadic army, and to offset the enemy's advantages, they must provoke the enemy or pretend to lose and draw it out of an advantageous terrain.Of course, if the enemy did not have such a topographical advantage, it would be the next step. Next, quick mounted archers shoot arrows at the enemy's position and induce the enemy's formation to be dispersed.When the enemy's formation is dispersed or too focused on the front defense, heavy cavalry or infantry immediately flock to the side.If the enemies quickly returned to their original state, the mounted archers fired arrows again.As he continued to reduce the strength of the enemy, he changed his horse. If you repeat this to some extent, the enemy will surely try to escape.If the heavy cavalry attacks at this time, the enemy can be destroyed.If you continue to resist despite doing this, stop the attack, form a siege, block the distribution, or retreat and reorganize once and then attack again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 

2. Then, what is the strategy of the residents?The answer is to hide troops, utilize topography, and join forces!   

①Enemies surround you?Then we can lay siege to them, too! Are the enemies surrounding you?You don't have to worry.If the enemy tries to surround him, it will come into the prisoner's mouth and eat the remnants of his teeth.--in other words, our army should also surround the enemy.Then what? First of all, a highly mobile force is needed.If it is too slow than the besieged forces, it may be surrounded in reverse, and the besieged forces will gain time to see and evacuate.Therefore, a quick mobile unit is needed. If the mobile unit is satisfied, the next thing you need to do is hide them.No matter how much the enemy is distracted by the plunder, if you see our troops hiding, you cannot surround our bait troops.Of course, mobile units should be hidden as much as possible, but they should be hidden behind forests, behind walls, or between reed forests. Of course, no matter how well you hide it, it is also important for the decoy unit to properly provoke and seduce the enemy in front of you. An example of this is the fight between Alexander and Skittai.At this time, Alexander used his own light cavalry as bait and used the alarm as a topography to beat the skitai mounted archers. 

②Enemies are going to surround you?In the middle of the river? If the enemy wants to surround, it is necessary to select the topography well so that the enemy cannot surround it.No matter how many cavalry they are, they cannot surround themselves in the mountains, forests, or wide rivers.It's an equatorial cavalry.Of course, even if you use the topography well, remember that if you are lured by your opponent, it is a steal. 

③Aren't your enemies eating? The enemy also has a base.The enemy's residential points include nomadic areas, trading centers, and villages under them.If these areas are occupied, the enemy will naturally run out of funds.The biggest drawback of the nomadic army is that it is too weak for money.Mongolia also secured financial resources to attack the Geum Dynasty by occupying commercial bases, and other nomadic peoples have also been the basis for securing commercial bases = prosperity.Conversely, if you take over their commercial bases and persuade them with money, of course there will be internal strife between the enemies.It is a strategy mainly used by prominent Chinese dynasties in the past, such as Alexander and Bizantin. 

④But we still have to fight.Then? If you have to fight to show them the example, or if you have to, you must join forces.Joint management of cavalry, archers, and heavy infantry is the secret of victory. Archers constantly respond to enemies, cavalry chase enemies, and heavy infantry block enemies' charge, which is the core of the combined forces.For example, the European Crusaders also used this tactic to win against Saracen (why did they forget and fight the Hundred Years War?) and in the Song Dynasty, they learned how to make a palace using dramatic palaces and godfathers, and in Byzantine, they used Kataplactos and Scutatus. Managing such complex departments must be one of the biggest homework of the settlers' generals. I have explained the above nomadic fighting methods, response methods of settlers, and examples.If this is made into a movie, won't it be possible to enjoy the beauty of true strategy and tactics?
