The 1,000-strong cavalry contingent of the teaching team and the president's guard temporarily pursued them without carrying any baggage.

So there were no tents either, there wasn't enough food.

But it didn't matter, they were financed by the Chahar clan of Lindan Khan.

The Chahar tribe sent tents and enough food.

Of course, the Chahars would not take the initiative to send it, and the commander of the President's Guard just asked people to pass a message, and the Chahars sent it immediately.

The Mongols were well aware of the changes that were taking place in Liaodong, and if the Ming army wanted to get the Mongols' tents and food, it would be basically impossible, but the Bao army was different.

The Mongols knew very well who was the real king of Liaodong.

Wei Bao's strength is not comparable to the original Liaodong general Li Chengliang.

Not only did the Chahars send tents and plenty of food, but Lin Dan Khan even sent a thousand heavily armed cavalry to show respect for the treasure army.

Let's not talk about whether this Mongolian cavalry will cooperate with the battle, at least it can be regarded as the sincerity of the cousin.

He was one of the Ten Wood of the Iron Lance Konot, and the only surviving brother of Lin Dan.

Lin Dan Khan's younger brother came to show the meaning of Lin Dan Khan's licking of President Wei.

This made the more than 4,700 Jiannu in Yizhou City even more nervous, worried that the treasure army would take advantage of the situation to pursue and attack Yizhou City.

When Liu Dahe and others arrived with the Baojun cavalry regiment, the head of the presidential guard, Zhu personally greeted him.

"Head Zhu, you are too polite, you even came out to greet you in person on a cold day." Liu Dahe took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"Where, you worked so hard to arrive so quickly, and you didn't stop along the way, right? We also set up camp just yesterday. Head Zhu also stretched out his hand.

After the two men shook hands, they each saluted and laughed.

Regiment Commander Zhu, several senior officers of the President's Guard and Teaching Team, and officers of the Baojun Cavalry Regiment shook hands one by one, and they all felt a warm friendship in the ice and snow outside the city of Yiju.

Cong Gulenge watched all this in the carriage, and looked at the soldiers who met on both sides like brothers, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

Cong Gulen Gege really couldn't understand how Wei Bao managed to do all this, how he had the ability to rule such a large territory, rule so many people, and rule so many troops.

The strangest thing is that these armies are definitely not jealous and intriguing with each other like the Eight Banners, but are like brothers.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries on both sides, enter the camp.

Meals and treats were immediately arranged in the camp.

In military activities, it is forbidden for the Baojun to drink alcohol, and only in the large battalions in the rear, senior officers can drink a little alcohol, and if they want to drink happily, they can go home and drink, and they cannot fool around in the barracks.

The military discipline of the Bao army was very strict.

Cong Gulen Gege was arranged alone in a clean and tidy tent.

Cong Gulen Gege just entered the tent and looked at it, and said, "I'm in a hurry to return to Yiju City now, you can help me arrange it as soon as possible." ”

This really has to be arranged in advance, and people have to shout to let the city of Uiju open the door, otherwise, it will be difficult for a woman to approach the city gate in the cold and snow.

Of course, Cong Gulen Gege can go back alone, this is Cong Gulen Gege takes care of politeness, along the way Bao officers and soldiers are very polite to her, if she doesn't say a word, it is a little impolite to leave alone.

"Okay, I'll send someone to Xiang Jian immediately and shout to the defenders of Yiju City." Liu Dahe originally wanted to talk about Jiannu, but he thought that Cong Gulunge was also a Jiannu, so he forcibly held back.

Cong Gulen Gege said politely: "Thank you, Commander." ”

Liu Dahe smiled slightly, feeling that this Jiannu Gege was very smart, he must have heard someone call him the head of the regiment just now, and he knew that he was the head of the regiment.

And Jiannu doesn't have this kind of official title, so the speed of Cong Gulen Gege to memorize things is super strong.

The Po army soon contacted the defenders of Upper Uiju Castle.

Jiannu had no idea that Cong Gulen Gege would return at this time.

At this time, Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Amin and Mang Gurtai and others were still nervously discussing what to do now, whether to abandon Yizhou City and return to Shenyang, so that his father Khan could recuperate.

It's better to stick to Yizhou City this winter, anyway, there are less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the food in Yizhou City can barely support it.

Everyone tended to decide to stay in the city of Uiju, because Nurhachi had not woken up, and his injuries were enough, but the attack of poison was so severe that he was afraid that if he braved the cold to hurry, Nurhachi would die on the road.

And, don't look at it now, there are less than 5,000 centaurs.

But the small city of Uiju is also full of people's hearts, each with a ghost.

The secret battle between Huang Taiji, Dai Shan, Amin and Mang Gurtai and others has actually begun.

Who doesn't want to inherit the throne?

Nurha's naked eyes can't do it.

Of course, they hesitated to stay in Yiju City, and there was one threat, that is, the treasure army outside the city.

Although the treasure army is only a small force of cavalry, but Jiannu has been frightened at this time, even if there are a few treasure troops, they dare not despise it, for fear that the treasure army will attack Yizhou City, the power of the treasure army's firearms is simply incomparable to the Ming army.

In fact, the cavalry of the Baojun army has been trained to this time, beyond the Jiannu iron cavalry, and it has little to do with firearms.

The standard equipment of the Baojun cavalry regiment is only revolvers and sabers, and pistols are generally not used.

Of course, in the melee, the cavalry regiment of the treasure army will hold a saber in one hand and a revolver in the other, which is still very advantageous.

But when the two cavalry were hedged, the revolver was of little use, because on horseback, it was difficult to master the accuracy, and the cavalry fought, and after the six rounds of the revolver were finished, there was no time to change the bullets.

Why is the modern cavalry invincible in the world even if it does not have firearms?

Napoleon said that 1 Mamluk cavalry could defeat 3 French cavalry, 100 would be tied, and 1000 French cavalry would defeat 1000 Mamluk cavalry.

What is the key to tactics? What are the specific scientific achievements brought about by European modernization that have been applied to cavalry training and formations?

From the Russian Cossack cavalry that drove the Mongols through the streets, Napoleon's victory over the Mamluks, who had twice defeated the Mongols in their heyday, and the defeat of Zengrinqin from the British Sikh cavalry at the Bali Bridge.

Compared to the Middle Ages, what secrets are hidden in modern cavalry.

Compared with modern technology, especially gunpowder weapons, which have changed infantry tactics dramatically, technology has changed much less for cavalry, which has also accompanied the history of human warfare.

The real revival of cavalry in modern times must be attributed to scientific training and strict discipline.

The cavalry challenge began with the Thirty Years' War, when Archduke Gustav of Sweden mixed musketeers and spearmen into infantry phalanxes in a roughly 3:2 ratio as an abuse of linear infantry tactics and, of course, Frederick the Great.

Coupled with the large depth of about 6 rows, the cavalry was facing a wall of people before the rise of artillery, and the cavalry, which had been the absolute main force since the Middle Ages, was facing a huge challenge at this time.

An ordinary peasant could kill a heavily armed knight with a musket and a large array of guns, upsetting the balance between cavalry and infantry.

All the countries of Europe were aware of this change, and a large number of infantry became the absolute main force of the army, which could be without cavalry, without artillery, but it must not be without infantry.

The expansion of infantry regiments also led to the expansion of the scale of the war, for example, in France, from before Louis XIII to Louis XIV in the Thirty Years' War, the French army expanded from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

The change of cavalry, the rise and fall of cavalry is inseparable from the development of infantry.

The advent of the latch-type bayonet completely eliminated the cavalry nemesis pikemen from the stage of history, and at this time there were only two types of infantry, rifle pikemen and flintlock pikemen.

Moreover, with the development of rigid linear infantry tactics, the depth of the infantry formation was changed to smaller and smaller in order to exert maximum firepower on both sides.

The British Redcoats often used a double-sided formation to spread out a wider front.

But this is also very dangerous, and the weak front can easily be broken by cavalry and infantry columns, so only the disciplined British dare to do this.

In order to deal with the group assault of the cavalry, the infantry had to return to the previous way and form large phalanxes.

When Napoleon went on an expedition to Egypt, the French army relied on this large formation, leaving the Mamluks with no chance at all.

But again, infantry in large formations can easily be killed intensively by long-range fire.

In this way, the three arms of modern times, cavalry, infantry, and artillery, have formed a delicate balance relationship.

In the Battle of the Pyramids, the French army formed a phalanx to deal with the attack of the Mamluk cavalry.

The rise of muskets also caused the knightly class to plummet, and many middle classes were added to the ranks of the cavalry.

The cavalry no longer has such a strong and superb martial arts.

Therefore, the cavalry is also bound to abandon the heads-up style of fighting since the Middle Ages and change to an intensive large-scale assault.

Relying on formation to make up for the shortcomings of individual ability is the prototype of the new cavalry.

Such a dense charge required a very strict cavalry discipline, and the famous Cromwell's "Iron Army" was such a new type of cavalry, and during the assault, the cavalry lined up in a horizontal line, pressing on the opponent like a wall, and the formation was so tight that it was almost impossible to disperse.

It was such an army that almost turned the tide of the war between the parliamentary army and the king's army.

The cavalry of the English Civil War period can be seen to still retain cuirass and helmets.

This type of cavalry is an excess between medieval cavalry and modern cavalry.

The emergence of the new British cavalry dazzled the countries of the European continent, and they followed suit to form scientifically trained and strictly disciplined cavalry units.

Among the most noteworthy are the Prussian cavalry of Frederick the Great and the French cavalry of Napoleon.

Frederick the Great trained the Prussian cavalry to be as disciplined as the Prussian infantry, and even the "hussars" of the light cavalry type could charge in a horizontal formation, which shows how strict the training and discipline were.

However, the tactics of the Prussian cavalry were somewhat rigid, and in the Battle of Jena-Augustadt, a large number of Prussians attacked the French army led by Davout and suffered heavy losses.

The defeat in this campaign also made Prussia realize that the time for Frederick the Great's tactics was over.

France, as the country with the longest tradition of cavalry in Western Europe, still has a supreme position in cavalry.

The cavalry was also mostly composed of nobles.

After the French Revolution, a large number of nobles fled, and the officers of the various units of the French army also lost a lot.

Even Napoleon's own artillery officer squad, 30 people, ran to the point where only two people, including him, remained.

Cavalry losses were even heavier, and there were hardly a few decent cavalry units.

Although a large army was formed under the call of the revolution, France recalled many of the exiled nobles back to the cavalry.

At the same time, cavalry was trained from the lower ranks, and during the Napoleonic period there were many officers who were promoted from the cavalry.

Coupled with Napoleon's careful construction, the French army once again became the first cavalry power in Europe.

In Napoleon's "Grand Army" there was even an independent "cavalry division" composed of cavalry, which was the pinnacle of French cavalry.

"Two Mamluks can definitely win three French soldiers; 100 French soldiers and 100 Mamluks were evenly matched; Most of the 300 French soldiers can defeat 300 Mamluks, and 1,000 French soldiers can always defeat 1,500 Mamluks. ”

The main meaning of this passage is that the general discipline of the French cavalry prevailed over the individual bravery of the Mamluk cavalry, and that the more small the battle, the more important the individual bravery is, and the larger the battle, the more dominant the collective discipline becomes.

Interestingly, Napoleon later recruited some Mamluk cavalry from Egypt to join the French army and fight in the Battle of Otstritz.

Discipline compensated for the lack of personal qualities, but the lack of personal qualities also led to the French cavalry's over-reliance on group charges, which sometimes worked wonders.

In the Battle of Élao, the French vanguard Augereau was defeated, and the French front was in danger.

At this time, Murat gathered nearly 10,000 cavalry from all the French troops on the battlefield, lined up in a large cavalry phalanx, and rushed towards the Russian army.

The Russian army broke and scattered, but quickly gathered to surround the French cavalry, the French cavalry charged again, and the Russian army dispersed, scattered and assembled.

In this way, in the cycle of rushing, scattering, and encircling, the French army still stood at the end.

Although the cavalry paid a great price, it reversed a battle that was sure to be lost.

In the Battle of Waterloo, Marshal Ney, who was as fanatical as Murat, also led the French cavalry to launch a large-scale charge against the British army, but what awaited them was the neat phalanx of the British army.

This tragic charge also meant that Napoleon's French army had come to an end.

At Waterloo, the French cavalry suffered a heavy defeat on the British formation.

All in all, the revival of modern cavalry was not primarily based on weapons and armor, but on the result of discipline and training.

Scientific training has enabled the European cavalry to reach the point where "it is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as fierce as a fire, and as immobile as a mountain", while the cavalry in other parts of the world still relies on habit and intuition to fight, and the gap between the cavalry also reflects that the core difference between modern and traditional armies is "discipline, tactics and training".

In the Battle of Bali Bridge, the Qing cavalry was defeated in front of the British and French cavalry, no matter how harassed, sneak attacked, assaulted, and detoured, the British and French cavalry still charged in a dense formation.

Traditional cavalry units around the world were often routed by neat assaults when they encountered these European professional troops, even the infantry fighting bayonets.

Not only cavalry, discipline and training were powerful weapons of modern armies.

Of course, the rise of cavalry is also due to the lack of infantry weapons, automatic weapons from another point of view, weapons + training + discipline make a soldier's training cost greatly reduced, war is no longer a monopoly of the aristocracy. The professionalization of the military in modern times has been accompanied by a sharp increase in the number of people involved in warfare. In the end, no one was spared from the war. After the advent of weapons such as machine guns, cavalry was gradually eliminated by the war.

Of course, that was basically the Second World War stage, and in President Wei's life, cavalry must have been the main means of infantry.

Machine guns are easier said than done.

Even during the Anti-Japanese War, machine guns were still a luxury, and the few were pitiful, and both sides relied on a considerable number of cavalry to fight, not to mention the end of the Ming Dynasty three hundred years ago.

Huang Taiji listened to the report of the people below, and said to Dai Shan, Mang Gurtai and Amin: "What should I do?" The treasure army outside the city shouted, saying that Conggulun had returned! ”

"How many people are coming to shout? Will there be fraud? Dai Shan asked.

"Just two people to shout, it's cold and snowy, there is nowhere to hide, and there is no need for the treasure army to use this trick." Huang Taiji said: "If you want to enter the city, you must be Cong Gulun who enters the city alone." ”

"Then hurry up and let Conggulen in, what else is there to wait for." Dai Shandao.
