Chapter 2561: Make a choice, make a statement!

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.mtlnovel.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!"
