Although Guchum Khan relied on popular support, raised the banner of jihad, and finally killed Yermak by guerrilla warfare, he was no longer able to resist the second attack of Tsarist Russia.

During the period of Yermak's expedition to Siberia, Russia was able to defeat the Tatars head-on, but it was still overwhelmed and still needed to build a Great Wall to prevent the invasion of the Crimean Tatars.

During the reign of Ivan the Terrible, Tsarist Russia built Great Walls in the border areas of Tula, Ryazan, Belgorod, Voronezh and other areas at that time to resist the invasion of the Crimean Tatars.

The Russians built the Tula Deer Barn to defend against the Tatars.

By the 17th century, European gunsmithing technology and phalanx tactics had become more and more sophisticated.

The Turkuts were brave and indomitable, and they moved westward and defeated the Tatars, Kazakhs, Bashkirs, and Nogais.

In 1643, Turgat Khan and Orlek concentrated the forces of the entire tribe to besiege Astrakhan, but they were still defeated by the Russian army's guns, and Orlek was defeated and killed, and the Turghut tribe was forced to submit to Tsarist Russia.

In the Great Cossack Uprising in Ukraine that began in 1648, the Crimean Tatars took advantage of the opportunity of the Ukrainian Cossacks to revolt against the Poles, and were invited by the Ukrainian Cossacks as reinforcements to plunder slaves in Ukraine.

The Crimean Tatars, who plundered slaves in the steppes of Eastern Europe, attacked the Crimean Khanate twice before the Battle of Yaksa.

The Crimean Tatars did not dare to fight back at all, so they could only set fire to the steppe, retreat to the fortress of Perekop at the entrance to the Crimean Peninsula, rely on the help of Ottoman Turkey, and defend with the cannons of the walls and trenches.

The Cossacks of Ukraine and the Volga Valley were getting stronger, and under the cover of caravans, the Cossacks were able to defeat the Tatars in the open steppes with muskets and spears.

By the late 17th century, the slave business of the Crimean Tatars was becoming more and more difficult.

By the 18th century, with the spread of flintlock pistols, paper-shelled bullets, and bayonets, the Tatars had no advantage at all.

Whether it is long-range shooting or hand-to-hand combat, it has been completely destroyed by Western forces.

During the Fourth Russo-Turkish War of 1735-1739, the Russians forced their way through the swamps, captured the fortress of Perekop, and swept around the Crimean Peninsula. The Tatar cavalry archers could only follow from a distance, and the occasional harassment was inflicted with heavy casualties, and could no longer pose any real threat to the modern armies of the West.

In fact, President Wei himself knows best why Baojun can fight Jiannu, and now he has won many battles.

This is similar to the army fighting the Mongols in the early Ming Dynasty.

In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, during the period from Zhu Yuanzhang to Zhu Di, how powerful the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was, and why they were able to sweep away the Mongolian cavalry that was still powerful at that time.

Before the advent of the modern wall-mounted cavalry, the heavy infantry who dared to fight hand-to-hand and had strict discipline was almost helpless against it in the Great Battle.

In the classical **** era, almost all hegemony relied on heavy infantry and cavalry-assisted military forces for a long time.

Such as Greece, Macedonia, Rome, and the Tang Dynasty.

At the tactical level, the cavalry had a mobile advantage, but at the strategic level, and on a long march, due to the logistical pressure of the horses, the cavalry could not move strategically with the well-organized heavy infantry at the same speed.

Mounted archery was a heavily exaggerated tactic, and with the exception of the Mongols and Steki, almost all nomadic empires relied primarily on hand-to-hand light cavalry, or simply heavy infantry on horseback.

The rise of the Mongols was very fortuitous, and with the exception of Temujin, who was very powerful, it did come to a time when all the agrarian empires were at their most corrupt.

Because the Ming army expelled the Yuan Dynasty not by cavalry, but by infantry with a large number, strong morale, and strong hand-to-hand combat ability.

According to the record of Ming Taizu, in the composition of an infantry queue in the early Ming Dynasty, hand-to-hand soldiers accounted for as much as 60%, and most of the sixty percent hand-to-hand soldiers used zhangsan, that is, 4 meters long spears, followed by knives, and the other 40% of the projection troops, the number of bows and crossbows and firearms was 3:1, forming a dense formation, and the cavalry marched and attacked.

Huaibei is strong, although Yan and Zhao Jing can't ride it.

As for the cavalry of the Ming army, according to the records of the Ming Dynasty, in the twenty-third year of Hongwu, in 1390, the number of war horses in the Ming Dynasty was only 45,080, accurate to ten, this number was even inferior to the Southern Song Dynasty.

It can be seen to what extent there was a shortage of war horses in the early Ming Dynasty, and how many cavalry can be formed by this war horse alone.

If you want to rely on this war horse to support the Northern Expedition and expel the Yuan army with a large number of elite cavalry, this is impossible, it can only be a factor of the infantry army.

The Ming army was able to defeat the Yuan army, mainly because of a large number of infantry who were good at hand-to-hand combat.

Shangxing Bianliang sought to take the Yuan capital, in July Xu Da and Yu Chun crossed the river and the northern counties of the Pinghe, when the soldiers arrived in the Yuan capital in August, the Yuan lord had already run north and moved his troops to attack Taiyuan, the Yuan Shou general expanded Timur Shuai to the royal court, and its edge was very sharp.

Yu Chun and Xu Da conspired; "Although my cavalry is gathered, but the infantry has not arrived, and there is no battle, if you send elite cavalry to rob its camp at night, its people will be in chaos, and the Lord will be bound in chaos."

As he said, Timur Guo heard the change and fled from the conversation between Chang Yuchun and Xu Da, although the Ming army relied on elite cavalry to raid the Yuan army's camp, causing the Yuan army to panic and rout.

But if the infantry team is not assembled, even fierce generals like Xu Da and Chang Yuchun will not let the Ming cavalry and the Yuan cavalry fight alone.

In the battle to recover North China, the cavalry of the Ming army achieved few results against the northern Yuan army with a large number of light and heavy cavalry, and it was still dominated by infantry, supplemented by cavalry, and the infantry cavalry cooperated with each other and attacked in a pinch, and even used cavalry as bait to defeat the cavalry of the Yuan army by infantry assault.

And against the Southwest Yuan Army, which has more steps and fewer horses, the cavalry of the Ming Army will show their skills, and there is the meaning of farming and horse racing.

It also shows from the side that the cavalry of the Ming army is still afraid of the cavalry of the Yuan army.

The cavalry of the Yuan army was still elite, and Zhu Yuanzhang also admitted that the cavalry of the Yuan army had an advantage, while the infantry of the Ming army had an advantage.

The Yuan army could not defeat the Ming army because the conditions changed in a series of battles of the Ming army's northern expedition to North China.

First of all, the Ming Dynasty of the agrarian regime was the attacker, while the Yuan Dynasty of the dual regime of agriculture and animal husbandry was the defender.

Secondly, unlike the previous nomads who did not have settlements, this time both sides had fixed cities, and in the battle for the city around the Ming Attack Yuan, the cavalry as a clutch soldier did not play as great a role as before.

Historically, well-trained and morale-boosting infantry formations that allowed cavalry to charge were largely unfortunate.

There is no eternal military tactics that have been prosperous for a long time, and the three-plate axe of the Mongol army in the Temujin era has been more than 100 years since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and various objective conditions have changed, and the tactics are not so effective.

Most importantly, the Ming Dynasty was an emerging regime, and the soldiers of the early Ming Dynasty dared to fight, supplemented by a large number of generals with military experience, who could well implement the commander's strategic planning, while the Yuan Dynasty was a disease-riddled rotten regime, with internal conflicts, a large amount of resources for internal friction, and lost the ability to innovate themselves, unable to cope with the challenges of the emerging regime.

Therefore, the Zhu Baba Group, which started from Huaiyou, defeated one competitor after another and was able to snowball and become bigger.

The Yuan Dynasty was overwhelmed by the civil war and the Red Turban Army in North China, and Zhu Yuanzhang seized the opportunity to quickly defeat it and force it to withdraw from North China.

Tang Wu is a hundred miles of Chang, and the world is dead.

In short, the Ming army's operation to recover the Han land, mainly relied on infantry, after the recovery of North China, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di took the initiative to attack the grassland in the military operation.

As for the statement that the Ming army drove away the Yuan army by relying on firearms, the Mongols saw the firearms used by the Jin army as early as the Mengjin War, and also used firearms, and even transmitted firearms to Europe, and the Yuan people were no strangers and resisted firearms.

Moreover, at that time, the Ming army was a rebel army, and the Yuan army was an official army.

In the early Ming Dynasty, firearms still played a great role, especially for the supplementary role of archery, archery generally can not achieve continuous shooting, there must be resting muscles in the middle, and the fire gun is allowed.

And in the back, the triple firing fire gun is even more reversal of archery.

The main reason for being able to win the ride with step is discipline, the grassland slavery system in the 90th year of the Yuan Dynasty, which made life worthless, and carried out reforms similar to base areas in the early Ming Dynasty and rewarded families who served as soldiers.

These three aspects have played a great role, and the soldiers are not afraid of death, the rewards are clear, the logistics are in place, and the army is equalized.

Yuan's backward variant of the grassland tribal system made the lives of the people in the world worthless, and when life was better than death, the direct consequence was that the force value began to break out.

Infantry use long weapons, it is possible to directly restrain cavalry, one needs to be in formation, two need to die, three need discipline, and four need to be lethal.

The most important thing is that some people are willing to be the spearmen of the first three rows, for example, the Tang Dynasty Mo knife team is the infantry and cavalry, 60 or 70 pounds of Mo knife, a knife down the horse's head does not exist, and people do not exist.

At the end of other dynasties, it was generally only two provinces that rebelled, and the rebels finally used military forces to destroy the whole country.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, almost all provinces rebelled together, and both sides of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River were in turmoil together, so that the Central Plains was empty at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty re-allocated, attached great importance to artillery, muskets, etc., although the firing range was short, but honey set, at this time the artillery was like a rural shotgun, a shot out is a large area, there is no phenomenon of not hitting, although it will not die at that time, but the whole body bleeds, the combat power will drop significantly, and then it will be engaged in a short battle with the Ming army.

And the Ming military also directly inherited the Yuan, so in terms of archery and the like, there was not much difference between the Ming soldiers and the Yuan soldiers.

The people of the early Ming Dynasty are actually the Yuan people, except for the bows and arrows of the cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty court are slightly higher than the soldiers of the early Ming Dynasty, in my opinion, there is actually no gap, there is no problem of generation difference.

Otherwise, there would not be the Yuan Dynasty court to recruit the Red Turban Army everywhere, although the Yuan Dynasty Court defeated the Red Turban Army north and south of the Yellow River, but the Yuan Dynasty Court's losses were also very large, so that the troops were insufficient, and at the same time there was internal strife, otherwise the Yuan Dynasty Court would not let Chen Youliang go, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care.

Because these two men and horses are also the Red Turban Army, their territory is also directly in the Central Plains and the Yellow River area.

The biggest gap between the rebels and the Yuan court in various places is the cavalry, especially the cavalry team's impact and encirclement, retreat and cover, morale and quality cultivation, etc., there is a big gap, and the quality of the cavalry is much higher than that of the infantry.

But from the perspective of the configuration of the later period, the Ming cavalry is also very good, first there are bows and arrows, then crossbow arrows, then a long gun, a short gun, a long spear, and a knife.

Compared with the Mongolian cavalry, there is a gap, as long as the perseverance is a little stronger, although it can't be defeated, but not many people die.

The gap between everyone is not big, so except for the Tumubao incident, basically the Ming and Mongolia, no one can pay anyone, Ming can get out of the plug, but not far.

But the era of the Ming army against the Manchus was over, because Nurhachi inherited the military system of the Ming army, and at the same time inherited the cavalry system on the grassland, plus the court had no money and literati interfered in military politics.

It is true that the Manchus were much more advanced in military affairs than the Ming army, which had not been reformed for a long time.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry was strong, but not strong enough to sweep the Mongol cavalry at will.

The reason for the victory of the Northern Expedition in the early Ming Dynasty was not the strength of the cavalry, but the most important reason was the generals, which was the first important factor.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the famous generals shined, from the first generation of Xu to the second generation of blue jade, and the next often met spring, Zhu Wenzheng, Fu Youde, Guo Ying, Geng Bingwen, all of whom were brave and resourceful generals.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di themselves also have extremely high military levels.

At the end of the Song Dynasty, the financial center has been transferred to the Jiangnan region, Suhu is ripe, the world is full, there is more food, the population is more, the military resources are also sufficient, the economic center is also in the south, taxation and trade are much stronger than the north, the war is money, the logistics of the Ming army are very sufficient, Xu Da went out to ask for money to give money, and this is an important reason for the victory of the Northern Expedition.

In the era of cold weapons, in the case of no generation difference in weapons, morale is extremely important, the soldiers in the early Ming Dynasty are flourishing, they are born in a hundred battles, and represent justice and the people, in the face of the decadent and unpopular Mongols, first of all, there is confidence, morale is high, the advantage is invincible, and the disadvantage is immovable.

There are many, many factors that determine the success of a major war, such as tactical command, advanced weapons, adequate logistics, and morale.

And it doesn't depend solely on the combat effectiveness of the cavalry units.

Originally, before the appearance of the treasure army, Jiannu was also full of morale.

Jiannu won successive battles in Liaodong without any opponents.

But he encountered a powerful treasure army and was constantly defeated.

What's even more infuriating is that Jiannu can feel it from top to bottom, every time they fight with the treasure army, they can clearly feel that the treasure army has strengthened a lot.

This is something that even Wei Bao did not expect.

Wei Bao didn't expect that the regime he cultivated in a greenhouse was no worse than the regime that came out of the rain of bullets and blood.

As soon as Cong Gulen Gege returned to Yiju City, he couldn't wait to tell his father Khan what he thought of the treasure army, and wanted to persuade his father Khan not to move the idea of being an enemy of the treasure army again.

But who would have thought that what was waiting for Cong Gurang Geg was the sight of Nurhachi already lying in bed and passing out.

"Father Khan!" When he saw Nurha's pale face, he almost fainted from tears.

Huang Taiji had already expected it, and hurriedly hugged his sister, Huang Taiji loved Cong Gulen Gege very much.

The other big men are also secretly sad.

It's good that Cong Gulen Gege doesn't come back, they won't be so sad.

But the dependence of a young daughter on her old father is very touching.

It made everyone present feel that their noses were sour and their eyes were red.

"Damn, I'll take people out to fight the treasure army to the end!" The enraged Manggultai suddenly roared angrily.

Mang Gurtai's roar made many Jiannu generals who were beaten by the treasure army feel cold again.

Jiannu seems to have amnesia, always remembering only the time when they were beautiful, when the results were brilliant, and forgetting the time when they were pressed to the ground and beaten by the treasure army.

With many Jiannu generals drew their knives.

Huang Taiji knew that the scene would get out of control again, and he knew that with his own prestige, or with the prestige of Dai Shan, it would be difficult to suppress the impulses of these people, and he was extremely anxious.

Not to mention letting Dai Shan suppress these people, Dai Shan cried and roared with everyone, and he had already lost his mind, and he also pulled out a knife in his hand, and wanted to lead the troops out of the city to find the treasure army for a bloody battle, it seems that only in this way can the anger in his heart be calmed.

Among the Jiannu generals, it seems that there is only one Huang Taiji who is a relatively calm person, a person who is more able to use wisdom to judge the situation.

The other strategists, because of the Han people, have no right to speak, and in the dying state of Nurha, they dare not speak, let alone stop them.

Ning Wan, Bao Chengxian, Fan Wencheng and other people who understand know very well that going out is a dead end!

They even thought about it, you lead the troops out of the city to fight the treasure army, and we will risk death to escape, as long as we can escape from the range of Yizhou City, either flee to Mongolia, join a Mongolian tribe casually, or simply go back and surrender to the treasure army, in short, it is better than going to die with you Jiannu here.

Fan Wencheng naturally didn't dare to run to find Baojun, Fan Wencheng couldn't even see Wei Bao's face, and he didn't know if he had offended the North Korean woman, and he didn't know if the North Korean woman was Wei Bao's woman.

"Let's be quiet first, we can't solve the problem by trying hard." Huang Taiji said loudly.

"Stop talking nonsense! What solves the problem? Hiding here as a shrunken turtle will solve the problem? Mang Gurtai said angrily.

"That is, if we don't even dare to fight with a few thousand Bao Army cavalry now, what else will we use to defend the Dajin Kingdom?" Amin also said.

Everyone thinks it makes sense, and they all say that it is not appropriate to shrink the head of the turtle, and they want to find the treasure army to fight to the death again, and escort the Great Khan back to Shenyang City, only Shenyang City has a good medical environment.

Cong Gulen Gege suddenly wiped his tears, stood up and said to Mang Gultai: "Brother, can you listen to me say a few words?" ”

Although Cong Gulen Gege has always grown up with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji, Cong Gulen Gege has the closest relationship with Huang Taiji among the many elder brothers, but the other princes also like this delicate and cute little Gege.

Mang Gurtai's anger went down a little, and he wondered: "Cong Gulun, don't you want to help Baojun speak and disturb the army's heart, right?" ”
