The kinetic energy formula in physics tells us that to increase the kinetic energy of an object, it is necessary to work on velocity and mass.

For heavy cavalry, the speed of the war horse is relatively stable, so if you want to increase the kinetic energy to increase the impact force, you can only work on the quality. For individual cavalry, the way to increase the quality is to increase the armor, which can not only improve the impact power, but also improve the defense power, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and the heavy cavalry is also developed according to this idea.

But relative to the cavalry as a whole, the way to increase the quality is to increase the number of cavalry, and the impact of a huge heavy cavalry formation is by no means inferior to that of modern armored clusters!

As a result, both in the East and in the West, the means of assault of the heavy cavalry groups were strikingly similar. In the Song Dynasty, the heavy cavalry unit of the Jin State "Kidnapping Horse" in order to increase the impact of the heavy cavalry group, and even connected the heavy cavalry with iron cables;

In the West, because the impact of cavalry is far more important than its mobility, the biggest feature of heavy cavalry tactics is cohesion. Cavalry combat, like infantry, is characterized by the fact that the two sides are in neat formations that clash with each other, and in order to embody this simple method of warfare, it is very important for heavy cavalry to maintain a wide formation, which is extremely rare in light cavalry tactics.

Heavy cavalry group shock tactics are the key to an army's formation of a strong first assault force. Normally, the attacking side directly tore through the first and second defensive formations of the opponent through the impact of the heavy cavalry group, providing conditions for the follow-up troops to join the battle.

As early as the 8th century, the Carolingian heavy cavalry began to use the tactics of cavalry group assault. Since the fall of the Roman Empire, Charlemagne has formed a Carolingian army with heavy cavalry as the core, which has performed well in all battles. The Carolingian cavalry was the first unit to use heavy cavalry shock in recorded history, and the classic action of its impact was to hold the javelin flat, using the speed of the war horse to give the javelin a strong impact and cause great damage to the opponent.

Therefore, strong shoulder and arm strength are absolutely indispensable for heavy cavalry! Of course, in addition to this, the heavy cavalry must also have a certain hand-to-hand combat skills, because when the assault tactics tear through the enemy's defenses, the heavy cavalry sergeants are required to fight the scattered enemy in close combat, and this is particularly frustrating in the history of the heavy cavalry in the West:

It is recorded that in France, where heavy cavalry tactics were prevalent, one of the passing exams for a knight was to have no armor on his body, and then fight the boar with his bare hands, and if he could kill the boar, he could pass. This was the basic reason why the Abel cavalry at that time tried to avoid close combat with the Crusaders. Due to the almost frenzied pursuit of individual combat skills, the Western heavy cavalry maintained their combat skills through a large number of competitions when there was no war, and this competition later developed into an important social activity, an important means of fighting for honor, resolving disputes, and even attracting the opposite sex.

Li Zexuan referred to the shock tactics of the Western heavy cavalry group army in the Middle Ages, combined with the current national conditions of the Tang Dynasty, and designated such a set of training drills for the Xuanjia Army, which cannot be said to be the best, but it is definitely the most suitable for the current Xuanjia Army!
