Chapter 1340: Missed opportunity

With the three rounds of artillery fire exploding, soon the southeast plain raised smoke and a dull sound of horseshoes shook the ground-the Cossack cavalry and the black knight arrived first ...

The current reinforcements were mainly 10,000 from the Third Army and 5,000 from the Cossack Cavalry Regiment. However, of those 10,000 Third Army soldiers, 2,000 were black knights using muskets.

In order to reach the battlefield as early as possible, the chief commander of the reinforcements, Steindorff, simply asked the 2000 black shirt knights to follow the 5000 Cossack cavalry and went to the battlefield first. The 8,000 infantry in the back will accelerate the march in the back.

But the cavalry's marching speed is obviously faster than the infantry, so 5000 Cossack cavalry and 2000 black knights arrived on the battlefield first. How powerful is the 7000 cavalry? What's more, each cavalry is still a pair of horses.

The movement of 14,000 horses running together, even the coalition warriors of the Eight Kingdoms princes who were at the front, were alarmed and showed a confused expression.

Marin saw the confused expression of the enemy from the telescope, and suddenly felt that he was obliged to give them a "science" wave. So he took the lead and shouted:

"The reinforcements are here! We have won!"

At this time, the veterans of the First and Second Legions around him did not need to be reminded at all, but shouted in unison:

"The reinforcements are here! We have won!"

...

The tidal waves shouted neatly, which surprised the soldiers in the front row of the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms who were trying to organize a second wave of attack-what happened? Then, many people turned around and looked back ...

Then, the soldiers of the coalition forces of the Eight Kingdoms saw a cloud of dust rising behind them, and a very dense sound of horseshoes came ...

The 7,000 Beihai cavalry who supported the battlefield did not directly charge. Instead, it stopped a certain distance away, and then a group of Cossack cavalry jumped skillfully from one horse's horseback to another. After all, the horse that they used to rush off the road was very physically exhausted at this time, and it was not suitable for continuing to charge.

Afterwards, the Cossack cavalry separated a small number of people and concentrated the horses to the side ...

As for the Black Knight, the same operation is also being carried out. However, after changing the horses, the black knights also reloaded the five muskets they carried ...

...

Marin saw these through the telescope. Then, he frowned-this cavalry commander was unusable ...

They are all close to the enemy formation, and they slowly change horses and reload, which is simply a lagging fighter!

Originally, Marin also planned to charge with the cavalry, punching back and forth. The cavalry attacking from the side and rear should rush into the enemy's side as soon as they came, and rushed the enemy formation, causing the enemy to panic. Then, he happened to let the first legion and the second legion charge together, attack on both sides, and solve the opponent at once.

However, his group of cavalry stopped in front of the enemy ...

Marin wanted to scold people at the moment! He arranged for the Cossack cavalry and the black knight to come from the side and back, just to raid the opponent, and then cause the opponent to panic. The result was good. The officer who led the team actually stopped before the line to change the horses and load the ammunition ... shouldn't these tasks be done from a distance? You have to do it under the eyes of the enemy ...

Be aware that the role of cavalry is by no means merely impact and motility. In the cold weapon era, the cavalry's psychological pressure on the enemy is definitely not worse than its combat effectiveness.

Why did the Ming Army always lose in the northern grasslands? It's not that they can't beat at all, but they are afraid of being beaten. Seeing a large group of cavalry rushing over, their first reaction was not confrontation, but running ...

And why does the wild boar Pinurhachi always brag about "there are no more than 10,000 Jurchens, and invincible beyond 10,000"? This is actually a psychological war, a psychological suggestion.

Obviously, Nurhachi knew in his heart that Hou Jin ’s family was really desperate to fight with the Ming army, and he would be wiped out in few battles. Therefore, he must frighten the Ming Army and let the Ming Army run away when they see them. In this way, the casualties of the Houjin army will not be so great. Therefore, he desperately preached what "Nuzhen is not more than 10,000, but 10,000 is invincible".

But in fact, the Jianzhou Jurchen has nothing to do with the Jurchen in history at all. The real Jurchens entered North China long before the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. And when the Mongols went south, they killed in the north. Because of the hatred of the golden dynasty, the establishment of the Mongolian empire basically wiped out the main body of Jurchen. Later, the so-called Jianzhou Jurchen was actually a savage in Northeast Asia occupying the Jurchen's hometown, and was misunderstood as a Jurchen by the Ming Dynasty.

But Nurhaci was very smart, and he realized that the Jurchen brand was very useful. Then, he pretended to be a Jurchen, and vigorously preached that "the Jurchen is no more than ten thousand, and over ten thousand is invincible." At the same time, his native population was not enough, so he sent people to the northeast of the Baishan black water to catch the "birth girl" (actually savages) to supplement the source of troops. Therefore, after the Manchus of the later generations, the ancestors were actually descendants of the savages of Northeast Asian savages. And the true Jurchen tribe, many descendants are actually living in the Central Plains. When Mongolian massacre the survivors of the Jin Dynasty, many people changed to the Han surname to avoid misfortune.

However, this set of Nurhaci is very effective. This kind of psychological warfare really scared the Ming Dynasty's frontiers and did not dare to go out of the city to fight. But this set, the actual effect is not great. After all, Nurhachi ’s men are only 60,000, and they can only dominate the Northeast. It was Huang Taiji who really let Manqing rise. He conquered Mongolia and got more than a hundred thousand thugs before he really had the strength to enter the customs. In addition, Huang Taiji compiled the Han people into the Han Eight Banners to further expand its strength. Later, Wu Sangui brought 50,000 Guan Ningjun to take refuge. Otherwise, but with tens of thousands of flag soldiers wanting to control the Central Plains, they must be shot out.

But in any case, the cavalry should be a strange soldier, and it should be fast and accurate. If you have a chance, you should take advantage of the chaos, instead of changing horses and reloading in front of the enemy like now ...

However, this practice of staying in front of the enemy formation and then launching the charge is very popular in Europe. Especially plate armoured knights must wear armor before the enemy lineup. Otherwise, the war horse can't eat it. However, Marin believes that this approach completely lost the "curiousness" of the cavalry and turned into a silly head ...

Sure enough, as expected by Marin, after the initial panic, I saw that the seven thousand incoming enemy cavalry stopped in front of the line, and the mentality of the coalition generals of the eight kingdoms stabilized.

Malin sighed, knowing that he had lost the best fighter. Now, he can only wait for those cavalry to fight a beautiful battle first ...

...

After the initial panic, the eight princes also calmed down. After seeing the 5,000 Cossack cavalry in the front row, Charlie, Earl of Gelden, breathed a sigh of relief:

"The other party seems to be all hussars (a kind of melee cavalry, light cavalry), we sent knights to fight, and we will be able to repel them!"

"Okay, just do it!" The two Duke Henry agreed.

For hussars, several princes are no strangers. Because, next to Germany, Hungary is the hussar kingdom. Twenty years ago, it was King Margash I of Hungary, who brought a large number of Hungarian hussars to www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and beat the Austrian Habsburg family to the north and occupied Vienna.

However, the Germans and Hungarians' years of warfare have also made the Germans realize that hussars can't beat knights in frontal combat. Of course, if the number gap is too large, dozens of knights will have to face the street in the face of hundreds of hussars. However, if the number is not much different, the knight with high defense power must win.

So, the eight princes sent their plate armoured knights one after another, let them go to the battlefield, and face the Hussars (Cossacks) on the opposite side ...

...

As for Marin, he shook his head and continued to watch the battle with the telescope. Because he had missed a good opportunity, he could only wait for his cavalry to hurt the knights of the coalition forces of the eight kingdoms before he could attack again.

But he had secretly made up his mind-after this war, the stupid stupid Alsatian brain should be replaced ...
