Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1739: Choose and express!
The kinetic energy formula in physics tells us: To increase the kinetic energy of an object, we must work **** speed and quality.
For heavy cavalry, the speed of the horse is relatively stable, so if you want to increase the impact by increasing the kinetic energy, you can only work on the quality. For the individual cavalry, the way to increase the quality is to increase the armor, which can increase the impact and improve the defense, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and the heavy cavalry is also developed in accordance with this idea.
But relative to the overall cavalry, the way to increase the quality is to increase the number of cavalry. The impact generated by a huge heavy cavalry formation is by no means inferior to a modern armored cluster!
Therefore, the methods used by the heavy cavalry group to attack are surprisingly similar no matter the East or the West. China’s “Armoured Cavalry Equipment” and “Iron Futu” all sought to defeat opponents with powerful impact. In the Song Dynasty, the heavy cavalry force of the Kingdom of the Jin Dynasty, the “Cracking Horse”, in order to increase the impact of the heavy cavalry group, even Connect the heavy cavalry with chains;
In the West, since the emphasis on the impact of the cavalry is far greater than its mobility, the biggest feature of the heavy cavalry tactics is to gather strength. Cavalry operations are the same as infantry. The neatly arranged formations of the two sides collide with each other. In order to reflect this simple method of warfare, it is very important for heavy cavalry to maintain a large and neat formation, which is extremely rare in light cavalry tactics.
The heavy cavalry group impact tactics are the key to a strong first assault force for an army. Under normal circumstances, the attacking side directly tears open the opponent's first and second defensive formations through the impact of heavy cavalry groups, providing conditions for subsequent troops to join the battle.
As early as the eighth century AD, the heavy cavalry units of the Carolingian dynasty began to use the tactics of cavalry group impact. Since the fall of the Roman Empire, Charlemagne has formed a Carolingian army with heavy cavalry as the core, which has performed well in previous battles. Carolingian cavalry is the first unit to use heavy cavalry assault since records, and the classic action of its impact is to hold the javelin flat, using the speed of the horse to give the javelin a strong impact, causing great damage to the opponent.
So strong shoulder strength and arm strength are absolutely essential for heavy cavalry! Of course, in addition, heavy cavalry must also have certain close combat skills, because when the impact tactics tear open the enemy’s defense line, heavy cavalry sergeants are required to fight the broken enemy in close combat. Regarding this, in In the history of the Western heavy cavalry, it is particularly frantic:
According to records, in the Middle Ages, in France where heavy cavalry tactics prevailed, one of the conditions for a knight to pass the exam was to fight with wild boars empty-handed without any armor. It's passed. This is the basic reason why the Arbor cavalry tried to avoid close combat with the Crusaders. Due to the frantic pursuit of individual combat skills, the Western heavy cavalry used a large number of competitions to maintain combat skills when there was no war. This competition later developed into an important social activity to fight for honor, resolve disputes and even attract the opposite sex. Important means.
Li Zexuan referenced the impact tactics of the Western Heavy Cavalry Army in the Middle Ages, combined with the current national conditions of the Tang Dynasty, and formulated such a training code for the Xuanjia Army. It cannot be said to be the best, but it is definitely the most suitable for the current Xuanjia Army. First Army!
"Joining the army is right. Although the Xuanjia Army is a heavy cavalry, the melee combat ability is still indispensable!"
After listening to Li Zexuan's long talk, the camp was quiet for a while, and Zhang Shigui suddenly spoke.
As a veteran who has experienced many battles, Zhang Shigui can certainly understand what Li Zexuan said. Regardless of his personal position, some of the training methods Li Zexuan put forward made him unable to help but shine.
Most of the other four people were silent.
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "I have said everything that should be said. Now everyone is going to talk about, are you willing to accept this new training code?"
As soon as this statement came out, the big tent fell into silence again.
"Although the training method just proposed by the army is somewhat reasonable, my old grandson disagrees. If the soldiers are trained and abolished, then the Holy Spirit will be blamed, I will not be able to bear the crime, and I will not be forgiven! "
Seeing that no one was speaking, Sun Tao gritted his teeth and stood up and held his fist to Li Zexuan.
Just now, he was almost convinced by Li Zexuan for a moment, but he did not forget where he was standing. If he agreed to Li Zexuan now, it is estimated that Qiu Xinggong would definitely not give him good fruit when he returned!
"The national war is imminent, and the Xuanjia Army has just been expanded. Is it too hasty to change the training method to join the army? Besides, the Xuanjia Army has always been the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty before. Let’s directly follow the previous training methods. Is it okay to train soldiers?"
Seeing that Sun Tao stepped up as a "Pioneer~IndoMTL.com~ Zhang Kangnian also quickly came out to "relay".
This guy didn't dare to offend Li Zexuan clearly, so he could only express his attitude euphemistically, and by the way, bewilder the other lieutenants not to stand on Li Zexuan's team!
Luda, the T-shaped battalion lieutenant who didn’t say a word from start to finish, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face. Of course, Li Zexuan’s new heavy cavalry code really made him shine, but Zhang Kangnian couldn’t say it either. It doesn't make sense! The Xuanjia Army was the most powerful heavy cavalry in the Tang Dynasty before. Although it has absorbed many recruits, as long as it follows the previous training methods, it will definitely be able to build an army with the most powerful force. Why should you take the risk? What about the new code of conduct?
"Brother Kang Nian is wrong!"
At the critical moment, Sun Zhiping finally stood up. He looked at Zhang Kangnian and said: "This is different from the past. The Xuanjia Army is now equipped with new-style armor, and the horses are also wearing horse armor. This is the same as the previous Xuanjiao. The army is very different, how can you use the same training method? Besides, although Sun was on duty in the Forbidden Army before, he also heard that the Xuanjia Army was invincible in the world from its formation to the end, but it has experienced a long period of time. The arduous training! But now the national war between the Tang and Turks is imminent, and the Xuanjia Army has just been expanded. If it is trained according to the previous code, I am afraid it will be difficult for the Xuanjia Army to contribute to the country in this great war!"
Hearing this, Zhang Kangnian's face suddenly sank, but before he could retort, Sun Zhiping turned around and bowed his fist to Li Zexuan and said: "Obviously, for the current plan, the Xuanjia Army can only seek new ideas and changes. In order to quickly form combat power in just two months, the final general Sun Zhiping, representing all the soldiers in the Wuzi Battalion, is willing to accept new training codes!"
