lz原文
the Goths had no practice in this branch (mounted archer); their horsemen
were trained to use only lances and swords, while their
foot-archers were accustomed to move behind and
under shelter of the cavalry. Thus the horsemen were
ineffective except in close combat, while having no
means of defending themselves against a mounted op-
ponent who kept just out of reach and rained arrows
upon them; as for their foot-archers, these would
never risk being caught in the open by the enemy's cav-
alry. The effect was that the Gothic cavalry were always
tryingto get to close quarters, and could be easily galled
into an ill-timed charge, whereas the infantry tended
to hang back when the shielding cavalry got far ahead
so that combination broke down, while a gap was
created into which flank counterstrokes could be driven.

: 军队的护具也很一般。骑弓对飞斧，当然有射程优势
: 你举这个例子说服力在哪里呢？和明清战争又有什么可比性？
