The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

And Chechen returned to the account that Ayuqi arranged for him. Ingrid and Fatima had already been there waiting for him.

Cheerchen sat down in front of the two as soon as he entered the tent: "Ayuqi won't let me go. He wants me to comment on the Kalmyk cavalry tomorrow."

When Ingrid heard this, he said anxiously: "Leader, don't be fooled. If you beat the Ayu Chitaiji with a pistol today, he suspects that you are a soldier. If you say something expert tomorrow, He will definitely see the flaw."

Of course Cheerchen thought of this too. So he said to Ingrid and Fatima: "Of course I know this. So tomorrow I will pretend to be a fool and be a layman. And you are my eyes. Go and look carefully. Write down the tactics of the Kalmyk cavalry."

Ingrid and Fatima nodded and said yes.

After that, Cheer Chen asked about Prijit again.

Ingrid now said: "Pulijit is very good. I went to her tent just now. She turned over the clothes from ten years ago and said she would wear them back to Sweden. Which excitement, I'm afraid she I can't sleep anymore."

Early the next morning, Chechen was called by Ayuqi and brought to a newly built wooden platform. With the flag-bearer dancing on the high platform, the thousand Kalmyk cavalry set out on the grassland early to form four combat units consisting of five horizontal teams. The first two columns of each combat unit are cavalry armed with long spears, they are responsible for the charge; the last three columns are cavalry armed with bows and arrows, each cavalry is widely separated from each other, and there is also a certain interval between each combat unit.

These Kalmyk cavalry showed a typical response method when the Mongolian cavalry encountered an enemy in the era of Genghis Khan.

Their two combat teams are at the front and the two teams are at the back. The simulation is divided into lengths similar to the length of the enemy lineup. Each horizontal team at the back is kept parallel, and the front and back are widened. Then the cavalry moved forward slowly, and when the cavalry on the first line was not far away from the enemy and was about to make contact, the next two cavalry units accelerated and protruded from both sides, rounding around and outflanking the enemy's rear army, breaking the enemy's back. If this is not an exercise but an actual battle, then because it is a front-line assault, if the battle is against a weak-willed army, then this is often more unexpected than an ambush and can cause chaos.

When the combat unit was about to touch the enemy, the light cavalry in the back three rows quickly rushed out of the first two rows of heavy cavalry. The cavalry armed with a bow and arrow used arrow rain from a distance of 20 meters to cause damage to the enemy and weaken morale in several rounds. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry armed with a long spear began to accelerate, and the archer cavalry left the front battlefield, and kept in contact with the enemy with feathers and arrows on the two wings, and kept the encircling circle.

The Kalmyk cavalry kept reciprocating these movements, and Cheechen, who was standing on the high platform with Ayuqi, appropriately showed the surprise of a layman.

From time to time, Cheechen stood on tiptoe, looked around, or agreed, and even applauded.

It is not him who is really observing today, but Fatima and Ingrid. He only needs to be an "actor".

"This is really a rare strong army!" Cheerchen praised.

Ayuqi heard Chechen's approval and asked the question again with a smile: How does the Kalmyk cavalry compare with the cavalry of those five countries?

This time, Cheerchen scratched his head and said, "Ayu Chitaiji, I don't know anything else, but compared with the Polish wing cavalry and the Swedish cavalry, your team can't run as neatly as they are."

"Not tidy without them?"

A Yuqi's eyes widened. He didn't expect Chechen to see this when he looked at it. This is really like a doorway that a layman can see.

"Yes, it's not neat with them." Cheerchen pretended to be innocent and said with his hands: "Your cavalry is too far apart, and when you start charging, it is still in a straight line, but slowly there will be a front and a back. In the end it was basically a triangle. When the winged cavalry and the Swedish pistol cavalry charged, the whole straight line remained motionless, each cavalry's foot stuck to the foot, straight as one person. Oh, yes. We call that type of charge. Wall charge."

After listening to Chechen's words, Ayuqi fell silent. He thought that Cheerchen's neatness was a slightly better situation than when his Kalmyk cavalry charged, but he didn't expect that Cheerchen's words were straightforward.

The name Wall Charge aptly embodies the indestructibility of marching on a wall.

As an excellent knight and commander, Ayuqi certainly knows how difficult it is to charge dozens or even hundreds of cavalry uniformly. This is not just a question of horses and equipment, but also involves training and people. The best knight under Ayuqi's command can make a group of ten charge without chaos, but if you double it, the formation begins to loosen, because the riding skills are good and bad, and the horses are also good and bad.

It can only be said that even though Cheer Chen deliberately concealed his knowledge level, his vision from a high mountain still made him look so outstanding.

For a while, Ayuqi could not help feeling dull as he watched the cavalry's exercises in the audience. Even though some of them are extremely skilled in their equestrian skills, they are hiding in difficult kicks.

After a while, Ayuqi asked Chechen, "Is there really such a cavalry?"

He also had a glimmer of hope, saying that such cavalry is also the elite of the elite in other countries.

But Cheerchen broke his illusion. Chechen said truthfully: "Yes, and now in Europe, countries like Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom have all adopted the training of such cavalry as the mainstream ~www.readwn.com~Ayuqi is uneasy, and he can't help it. Then he asked: "What about before? What was the cavalry of these countries before? "

In fact, the answer to this question no longer makes sense to A Yuqi. Its role is just to test Cheorchen.

In fact, before the wall assault became popular, the cavalry of the European army, in addition to fighting alone, was a popular cavalry tactic called "semi-circle". This method of tactics consists of cavalry equipped with multiple reed pistols arranged in a formation of at least six rows in depth, each with a width of 6 to 20 people, and jogging in small steps in the direction of the enemy. When the cavalry in the front row was about 30 meters away from the enemy infantry, the cavalry turned their horse head to the left, drew their pistols and fired at the enemy infantry; then ran to the end of the line to reload the ammunition, from the bottom A platoon of cavalry continued to shoot, and so on. However, the shortcomings of this tactic are obvious. That is, in many cases, the firepower of the cavalry side is often not enough to counter the firepower of the enemy infantry array. The heavy matchlocks equipped by the infantry have a much longer range than the pistols of the cavalry. This tactic means exposing the precious cavalry again and again. In the fierce firepower of the enemy infantry. This is also one of the reasons why this tactic was eventually eliminated.

However, Cheerchen also knew that this question was obviously a pit. He avoided talking, but said naively: "Taiji, I don't know that. Since I was born, my motherland has trained cavalry in this way."

Thinking of Cheerchen's age as his own, Ayuqi didn't doubt the authenticity of this statement. His thoughts returned to the wall charge. In his mind, it mimics the situation when the cavalry of the Khanate encountered the kind of foot-to-foot, straight as Cheechen said, like a one-man cavalry charging on a wall.

The result is obviously not optimistic.
