Chapter 1994: Split hidden and 4 cavalry divisions

Marin thought very well, but Ruzak told Marin that the Hungarian cavalry, who waited for the opponent to charge and then returned to close combat, did not benefit from the Polish wing cavalry before.

why? Because the Polish wing cavalry charge is not slow, they can catch up with them! The Hungarian Light Cavalry can successfully fight with the Warhammer if the opponent uses a plate knight charge.

The warriors of plate armoured knights must not only wear knights wearing tens of pounds of armor, but also wear tens of pounds of Ma Kai themselves, not counting the weight of knights, the total weight of armor is only a few hundred pounds weight. Therefore, even if the plate knight accelerates, the speed will definitely not surpass the Hungarian light cavalry.

At the beginning, the reason why the Mongolian cavalry was able to ease the Polish cavalry was because the opponent's armor and horse armor were too heavy, so that the Mongolian cavalry could easily use the Mangu tactics, and turned back and shot while running away. The heavily armoured European knights could not catch up with the Mongolian bow cavalry.

However, the Mongolian cavalry were dumbfounded when they met the Mamluk cavalry. Because the Mamluk cavalry are light cavalry, the Arab horses they ride have longer legs and run faster than the Mongolian horses. The Mongolian cavalry cannot play tactics, so they lose.

In the same way, Marin helped the Polish wing cavalry to remove the heavy horse armor, the cavalry's own plate armor also removed the pants, and even the breastplate was greatly simplified. Then, the wing cavalry became indistinguishable from the light cavalry. In fact, the original Polish wing cavalry was originally developed under the influence of Hungarian hussars. The two are very similar.

In the face of the same fast speed, but with the heavy cavalry impact of the Polish wing cavalry, and the Cossack sent by the North Sea, the Hungarian light cavalry could not play at all. Moreover, because the war horse was sacked, the unlucky Hungarian light cavalry lost even without a chance ...

In other words, the Hungarian Warhammer Light Cavalry is only suitable for playing plate armoured knights. It has no advantage against light cavalry using sabers. It kneels directly against Polish wing cavalry.

Moreover, other plate armoured knights are not fools, they will not chase your light cavalry. Before the uprising of the previous year, the Bohemian knights who came to suppress, ignored the Hungarian Warhammer Light Cavalry at all, and did not chase them down. After all, as a soldier of the same monarch, the knights of the Kingdom of Bohemia are also familiar with the battle mode of the Hungarian light cavalry and know how to deal with it. The way to deal with it is-I ignore you ...

"Can't it be used against the French knight and the German knight?" Marin was disappointed after hearing it.

At this time, Schwartz, who came to watch the performance of the Hungarian Light Cavalry with Marin, listened to Marin's whisper and suggested that:

"Otherwise, we will keep the Hungarian light cavalry secret and hide it. When we fight with the French, we suddenly kill them and make them caught off guard? The French certainly have n’t seen the Hungarian light cavalry. By then, the Hungarian light cavalry Suddenly leaning up and using a hammer will definitely defeat the French knight. "

Marin nodded and agreed:

"It's a good idea, but it's too difficult to hide ten thousand cavalry ..."

If there are hundreds of thousands of cavalry, it may be easier to hide in which valley. However, tens of thousands of cavalry can't hide it. As the saying goes, "The number of people is more than ten thousand, and there is no limit." The infantry is still the same, not to mention the cavalry with two horses.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen ran, and the earth would tremble, which could be felt from afar. It is impossible to hide.

At this moment, Wagner, the commander of the Second Army Corps who came to watch together, blinked, and suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, or else, split these 10,000 cavalry and give them to our Second Army? The Second Army has no cavalry to cover the flanks. It is very troublesome to fight alone ..."

Among the several regiments in the Beihai Kingdom, only the first regiment has 1,000 cavalry, the third regiment has 2,000 knights in black shirts, and the other regiments have no regular cavalry, and only some light cavalry with poor combat effectiveness are used for reconnaissance, vigilance and communication The task of the letter, and the number is not more than a thousand.

And these 10,000 Hungarian light cavalry, although they are light cavalry, are also regular troops with experience in cluster charge operations. Moreover, they have all been on the battlefield, and have fought several battles with the repressed army. They are not rookies, and there is no tension on the battlefield for novices. If it were not for Marin to pit their war horses with crotons, they would be able to cause great damage to the officers and men.

"Split? For the Second Army?" Marin frowned, thinking about the feasibility.

Wagner quickly said:

"Yes, the first legion has 1,000 cavalry, and the third legion has two thousand black shirt knights. The three oldest legions are also equipped with cavalry, and only some temporarily recruited auxiliary light cavalry, There is no fighting at all. If you can give us 4000 Hungarian light cavalry, so that the left and right wings of the Second Army can be protected by 2000 light cavalry, and the safety of the flanks is fully guaranteed ...

After a pause, Wagner continued:

"And, hiding the Hungarian light cavalry on the flanks, when the main force of the Second Army and the French knight collided frontally, the 4000 Hungarian cavalry could be killed from the side and impact the side of the French knight. The flanks of the knight also have no impact, the same Hungarian light cavalry suitable for using warhammers to strike opponents ... Mr. Ruzak, can the Hungarian light cavalry use a warhammer to impact the knight ’s flanks? "The last sentence of Wagner asked Ruzak who was riding on a horse ten meters away.

Ruzak was exchanging feelings with Warhorse. After hearing Wagner's question, he was stunned for a while, but he quickly replied:

"Yes, Master Wagner, we have the advantage of hitting the knight formation from the side. We also have an advantage. The premise is that a heavy cavalry can attract the attention of the enemy knight on the front."

Ruzak was also immersed in the cavalry battle thought, never thought of using infantry against the knight.

Wagner was very happy to see Ruzac agreeing with his views. However, Stade poured cold water on the side:

"Okay, Wagner, do n’t dream. The second legion, like our first legion, is stationed in East Friesland, the core of the North Sea State. It is a key area for foreign agents. The second legion suddenly added 4,000 cavalry. It will definitely be discovered by foreign agents, and it will cause tension in all countries. So, even if it is distributed to your Second Army, it can be distributed to a maximum of one or two thousand people. No matter how many, fools can see the problem! "

Wagner opened his mouth and tried to refute Stade, but he didn't dare. After all, Stad was a veteran officer who followed Marin very early, and was second only to Schwartz and Kahn in the military. Although Wagner was the head of the legion, he was not able to sit on par with the old head of the army.

After listening to their words, Marin thought for a long time before deciding:

"Wagner is right, we ca n’t put 10,000 Hungarian light cavalry together, which will cause fear in other countries. So, I decided to split the 10,000 Hungarian light cavalry into four parts, each part of 2500 people, for Five cavalry regiments are formed. Then, these people are divided into four regiments of the first, second, third and sixth regiments stationed on the mainland ... "

Wagner was a little unhappy after hearing it:

"Your Majesty, if you have 5 cavalry regiments, put two and a half cavalry regiments on each side of the battle? It's a little awkward ..."

Marin glared at him:

"Who told you to put both wings? You can put two cavalry regiments on each wing. Then, leave a cavalry regiment around as a reserve team. You can use this as a reserve team when you see a fighter plane appear or there is danger there. Of the cavalry regiment. "

"Your Majesty is brilliant!" Wagner quickly patted the horse so as not to cause Malin's dissatisfaction. The ability to reach 2,500 cavalry has already been a big gain. After all, that's 5 cavalry regiments!

Because of the prevalence of knight culture, before the rifle smashed the knight class, knights and even cavalry were superior in the army. The army commander is also proud to command a large number of cavalry. In many cavalry units, the commander is a child of a large aristocrat, and the small aristocracy cannot obtain the position of commander. Like a cavalry regiment, the lowest commander is the baron.

Wagner, like Marin, was born in the little knight family and dreamed of becoming a cavalry officer. However, he became an infantry officer by mistake. However, he still had a cavalry dream in his mind. Now, it is an unexpected joy to be able to start 5 cavalry regiments.

Moreover, from a tactical point of view, after having 5 cavalry regiments, the second legionary of the original pure infantry also has the ability to thoroughly chase down the remnants. After all, the light cavalry has first-class ability to chase down enemies and clean the battlefield. Moreover, this group of Hungarian cavalry can use the warhammer to attack the enemy knights from the side, which makes the second legion even more powerful!

As Wagner imagined the future, Marin said again:

"These cavalry are only temporarily hidden in the barracks of the four legions, and they are kept secret. However, this does not mean that they are owned by your four legions. The preparation is only temporarily stationed in the large battalions of your four legions. Of course, you are also under the command of wartime. However, the usual training and command is not yours, but a separate commander is responsible ...

Just kidding, Marin will add so many cavalry to the four legions? If it weren't for the lack of generals, Marin wanted to rotate!

The four major legions are already very powerful, and then add five cavalry regiments to each legion. When the time comes, what if the soldiers support themselves?

Although "yellow robe plus body" is not popular in Europe, the possibility of a general rebellion to seize the position is relatively low. However, it is not uncommon for a general to have his own weight.

Therefore, Marin is not willing to allow so many cavalry to increase so many cavalry, which led to a surge in strength.

Even for the sake of confidentiality, 10,000 Hungarian cavalry were forced to hide in the four legions, Marin would not give the command of these cavalry to the four legions, but would instead appoint officers to command. Only in wartime, after receiving Marin's order, those cavalry commanders will temporarily accept the restraint of several army commanders and cooperate with several major army regiments.

According to the custom of later generations, generally 5 cavalry regiments form a cavalry division. Therefore, Marin simply assembled the 5 cavalry regiments in each part into a cavalry division.

In this way, Marin split the 10,000 Hungarian light cavalry into four cavalry divisions, hiding in the large camp of the four local regiments. However, instead of being under the control of the four legions, it was temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of the Minister of Military Affairs Schwartz. The big man in the Schwarz army is in charge, and he is not afraid that the four regiment leaders dare to reach out to the four cavalry divisions. So, it can be regarded as a means of containment. However, even with jurisdiction, Schwartz does not have specific jurisdiction. Usually, the commanders of the four cavalry divisions are responsible for the training of the five cavalry regiments under their respective jurisdictions ...
