Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty

The kinetic energy formula in physics tells us: to improve 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 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!

So no matter the East or the West, the methods used by the heavy cavalry group to attack are surprisingly similar. China’s “Armoured Cavalry Equipment” and “Iron Futu” all sought to defeat the opponent with powerful impact. In the Song Dynasty, the heavy cavalry force of the Jin Kingdom, 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 importance of cavalry's impact is far greater than its mobility, the biggest feature of 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 indispensable 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 point, in In the history of Western heavy cavalry, it is particularly frantic:

According to records, in the Middle Ages, in France where heavy cavalry tactics were popular, one of the conditions for a knight to pass the exam was to fight with the wild boar empty-handed without any armor on his body. If he could kill the wild boar, it would be considered a pass. 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 attack tactics of the Western Heavy Cavalry Group 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!

"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, there was a moment of silence in the camp, and Zhang Shigui suddenly spoke.

As a veteran with many battles, Zhang Shigui can certainly understand what Li Zexuan said. Putting aside his personal position, some of the training methods Li Zexuan put forward made him impressed.

Most of the other four were silent.

Li Zexuan smiled and said, "I have said everything that should be said. Now everyone is going to talk about whether you are willing to accept this new training code?"

As soon as this remark came out, the big account 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 sage will be blamed, I will not be able to bear the crime, and I will not be forgiven!"

Seeing no one was speaking, Sun Tao gritted his teeth and stood up and hugged Li Zexuan.

He was almost convinced by Li Zexuan for a moment, but he did not forget which side he was on. If he agrees to Li Zexuan now, it is estimated that Qiu Xinggong will definitely not give him good fruit when he returns!

"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? Moreover, the Xuanjia Army has always been the most elite cavalry in the Tang Dynasty before. We directly train the soldiers according to the previous training methods. Isn't it a bad idea?"

Seeing Sun Tao stand up as a "pioneer~www.ltnovel.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 captains not to stand on Li Zexuan's team!

From the beginning to the end, he didn’t say a word, but there was a hint of hesitation on his face. It is true that Li Zexuan’s new heavy cavalry code really made him shine, but Zhang Kangnian also made 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 armor, and the horses are also equipped with horse armor. This is very different from the previous Xuanjia Army. The same, how can I 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 from the formation to the end, but in the process, he experienced long and hard training. But now the national war between the Tang Dynasty and the 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 present, the Xuan Jia army can only be in the new and change. In just two months, the battle strength was quickly formed. The final general Sun Zhiping, representing all the soldiers in the Wuzi Battalion, is willing to accept new training codes!"
