The Hungarian hussars are the originators of the hussars of European countries, and during the war, the hussars were very important in the armies of various countries.

Hussars belonged to the light cavalry, and mainly used sabers to charge and slash. During the war period, hussars served as light cavalry, and in peacetime they mainly performed the duties of vigilance, patrol, and harassment. When the Great War broke out, their task was to follow the cuirassiers and launch a second charge.

What is Secondary Charge? That is, after the heavy cavalry duel in front is over, let the hussars who follow behind take advantage of the chaos to pick up the bargain. Although the heavy cavalry broke out strongly, it could not last because of the weight. Therefore, even if you repel your opponent, you will not be able to chase and kill.

At this time, it was necessary for the lightly armed hussars to launch a second charge in time and reap the fruits of victory. To put it bluntly, it is to kill the opponent......

From the 18th century onwards, the pattern of warfare in Europe changed considerably. In the Middle Ages, wars in Europe were mainly contests of victory and defeat. As long as one side defeats its opponent, it often does not rush to the end. Moreover, the Plate Knight can't do it even if he wants to kill them all. Because, after a round of charge, the Plate Knight has to rest for a long time before he can launch a second round of charge. If the enemy had abandoned the heavy armor, he would have run far away and would not be able to catch up.

Therefore, in the Middle Ages, because of the weapons and equipment, and the prevalence of chivalry at that time, wars would only strike at retreats and routs, not wars of annihilation. In addition to the inability of the Plate Knights to expand the results of the battle, there are also reasons for the unspoken rule that "nobles do not kill nobles".

By the 18th century, however, Europeans had abandoned their grace and shamelessness, and instead focused on the living force of annihilating their enemies. Under these circumstances, hussars became popular in Europe.

Hussars could not charge head-on, but they were very good at chasing down a defeated enemy. Therefore, hussars suddenly became popular in Europe from the 18th century, and everyone's purpose was clear - to kill them all!

It is clear that cavalry is the elite of a country's army. If you let them escape, you will soon be able to regroup your team, and they will come back to beat you next time. Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to kill in battle. Of course, if the other party dismounts and surrenders, it is another matter. However, most of the cavalry in the melee did not have time to dismount and surrender, and the introduction of hussars could take advantage of the chaos to kill and injure the opponent's elite as much as possible to prevent future troubles.

Moreover, even the heavy cavalry, which could crush the hussars in a head-to-head duel, lost their impact after being overwhelmed by the formation. At this time, the hussars suddenly rushed forward, and they could still have the upper hand. After all, the charge of the heavy cavalry is a gust of wind, and after a gust of wind, when you take a breath, there is no speed and impact. At this time, the hussars rushed up, and they could also take advantage.

In addition, at the time of battle, there were no knights in full-body armor who were not afraid of swords. Even the heavy cavalry were no more than cuirassiers wearing three-quarter breastplates. The hussars rushed up, as long as it was not a hedge, and they were really not afraid of the cuirassiers at that time. Because, the hussars are more flexible and mobile, as long as they don't cut the opponent's breastplate armor stupidly and without chirping, they can still cause great damage to the opponent.

However, it seems that in this year, the hussars can't pick up the knight's cheapness. Even if the knight loses speed, he is not afraid of the saber of the hussar...... After all, people wear plate armor all over their bodies, and their horses have horse armor, so they are not afraid of your sword......

……

However, after actually meeting the Hungarian hussars, Marin realized that he was lonely and unheard......

It turned out that the Hungarian hussars of this era did not only use swords at all, but also used war hammers......

A Hungarian cavalry officer named Zhuzak demonstrated to Marin what a warhammer cavalry was. Dressed in leather armor and riding on horseback, with a shield in his left hand and a hammer in his right, he charged at a knight in plate armor who had cooperated with his demonstration......

Of course, the two sides demonstrated a battle when the Plate Knight didn't rush up. If you let the plate knight charge, it is a small tank, and the small shield in the hands of the Hungarian hussars will definitely not be able to stop it.

What Zhuzak demonstrated was that after seeing the horses exhausted and unable to speed up after the first charge of the opposing knights, the Hungarian hussars leaned up to fight the knights with a shield in their left hand and a hammer in their right......

Because of the loss of speed, the heavy cavalry spear in the knight's hand was of no use at all. Seeing Ruzak rushing over, the knight in charge of cooperating with the performance hurriedly stabbed Ruzak with a bulky riding spear, but because there was no impact speed, the cavalry spear was a large burning stick, which was easily blocked by Ruzak with a small wooden shield on his left hand, and took the opportunity to get close to him. Then, the knight had no choice but to throw away the riding spear that was in the way, and drew the knight's sword to fight Zhuzak.

However, with a shield in his left hand, Zhuzak easily blocked the stabbing and slashing of the knight's one-handed straight sword. Then, with the help of the one-handed hammer in his right hand, he knocked the knight off his horse......

"Can you still fight like this?" Marin was dumbfounded.

In fact, unbeknownst to Marin, in the 15th and 16th centuries, it was popular for Hungarian hussars to use one-handed hammers and small shields against plate knights. Because, at that time, most of the European cavalry were heavy cavalry, wearing heavy plate armor. If you use a saber, you can't hurt your opponent at all, and you can only be beaten passively.

Therefore, in desperation, the Hungarians invented the method of smashing the plate knight with a one-handed hammer. After all, plate armor can't prevent the slamming of a hammer.

However, even if the knight is close, he can draw a one-handed sword to fight. The blunt weapon of the one-handed hammer was less flexible than the smaller and lighter one-handed sword, and the Hungarian cavalry generally did not wear heavy armor and could not defend against one-handed swords. Therefore, they held shields in their left hands, which they used to resist the slashing or stabbing of the knight's one-handed sword. Of course, you can also block the knight's big gun.

After a demonstration, Marin was also very convinced. Because, this tactic is indeed very restrained by the plate knight. However, there is a premise for this, which is to wait for the knight's charge to end, or to not be able to rush.

So, under normal circumstances, the Hungarian hussars did not dare to resist the knight's charge head-on, but fled first and let the knight chase them. When the knights' horses were exhausted, they turned around and came back, confronting the knights closely, and smashing the knights off their horses with their war hammers.

It's just that this style of play can generally only smash the opposite knight off the horse, but it can't kill the opponent. The death of the opponent is generally because they are trampled to death by the horse after falling off the horse, and there are relatively few who are really stoned to death, and many are injured.

Of course, the Hungarian hussars didn't care, in their eyes, a wounded knight was worth more than a dead knight. Because, the capture of those wounded knights can be exchanged for a large ransom......

However, this method of warfare against light cavalry did not make much of a difference. After all, the hussars were agile enough to dodge the smashes of the hammers, and even the sabres could bypass the small shield in the left hand of the Hungarian hussars.

Only the knights in plate armor, because they wore full-body plate armor, could not bend down, and it was inconvenient to dodge, so they would be bullied by the Hungarian warhammer cavalry. As long as it is close-fitted, it is easy to be smashed off the horse.

In the face of an opponent dominated by light cavalry such as Turkey, the Hungarian Warhammer cavalry did not have an advantage. Of course, the Hungarian light cavalry not only carried a war hammer, but could also draw a saber to fight the Turkish scimitar cavalry, and the combat ability of the horse was no worse than that of the Turkish scimitar cavalry. However, there is no advantage. After all, both sides are light cavalry, and the routines are almost the same, depending on who has more.

However, Marin's upcoming opponent, France, happens to be a knightly power, and the main force of the army is the Plate Knights. This Hungarian warhammer hussars were able to deal with the "iron can" knights of the French. So, Marin smiled crookedly - this is to send him a group of "can openers" that are specially used to deal with knights......

Moreover, not only France, but also those German states that did not deal with Marin, the main force was also plate knights, and it happened that the Hungarian warhammer hussars could also be used to deal with ......
