In addition to leaving 50 lancer instructors, Marin also left a quartermaster to assist in the formation of Polish hussars (lancers).

In addition to its impressive combat effectiveness, the most distinctive feature of the new hussar is the improvement of its logistics. Because there is no need to help the knight master get on the horse, and there is no need to help the knight master keep and transport multiple cavalry guns and horse armor, each hussar only needs to be equipped with one squire. Even, when the personnel is tight, a squire driving a mule cart can serve two hussars. Anyway, the main task of these squires is to carry the essence needed by the war horse with them. In addition, they will carry some spare rifles to prevent the hussars' spring-loaded lances from breaking or being cut by the enemy.

In this way, in addition to the 5,000 hussars and their twin horses (a war horse and a group of pack horses on the road), only one squire with a mule cart was needed for each person. Before starting the charge, the hussars can also leave their changing pack horses in the care of the hussars.

In addition, the squires of these hussars also need to be trained. In Marin's army, those who served the lancers often carried a common crossbow. If someone attacks a supply convoy of squires, they will also use their crossbows to fight back against the attackers.

Even, when they are stationed, all the mule carts will form a large circle as needed. All the mules face inward, while the rear of the mule cart faces outward. Such a large circular array can withstand the charge of the enemy's cavalry. And those hussar squires, as long as they hide behind the car and fire crossbow arrows outside the formation. Alternatively, you can use a spare spring-loaded lance as a spear and stab it outward......

This method is the tactic of Ma Lin when he learned to defend himself against the Xiongnu in the north. When Wei Qing was on the northern expedition against the Xiongnu, he encountered the main cavalry led by the Xiongnu Shan Yu. In order to resist the Hun cavalry, Wei Qing surrounded the chariot (Wugang car) into a ring barracks, and sent 5,000 elite cavalry to gallop on horseback to resist the Hun cavalry, and finally defeated the Hun cavalry.

Of course, this tactic of Marin is not to destroy the enemy, but to protect the supply convoy itself. After all, the logistics troops have little combat effectiveness and can only form formations to protect themselves. Fortunately, the mule cart supply troops moved with the hussars, and as long as they held out for a while, they would wait for the hussars to come to their aid, and they would not have to fight the enemy to the death.

As Marin explained, Sigismunt I's eyes lit up - he could already imagine the future of the formidable Polish hussars at the end of his opponent...... Even the logistics troops are so stubborn, who can defeat the Polish hussars?

Marin smiled at Zygmunt I's thoughts and said nothing. He also did not tell Zygmunt I about the weakness of this tactic - the fear of artillery......

This kind of mule cart formation can also resist the cold weapon troops. In the event of artillery bombardment, it is certain to be finished. After all, mule carts are also made of wood......

It's just that the main enemies of the Polish hussars were Maozi and the Ottoman Turks. Moreover, Poland itself also has infantry and artillery working together, not alone, and this weakness is not nothing. Moreover, when you encounter artillery, you won't run away if you can't stop it? A mule cart is also a car, and although it can't race a horse-drawn cart, it can still avoid the frontal bombardment of artillery...... After all, the construction of artillery positions takes a long time. This time is empty enough for the mule carts to run......

……

After arranging to help Zygmunt I train the hussars, Marin returned home with his army. Now, Marin needs to do one thing in a hurry - let his men develop the technology to insert wooden wedges into the riding guns. This is not an easy task, and it is enough to study how thick the inverted triangular wooden wedge to use, and how to dig a hole in the wooden pole of the riding gun.

The riding gun is a whole, and if a hole is dug in the barrel of the gun, it is easy for the riding gun to break. Therefore, how to dig this hole dug for placing the inverted triangular wooden wedge is very learned. If one is not good, it is easy for the lancers to charge and break the barrel of the gun.

Eventually, Marin came up with a way to put a double iron sleeve on the barrel of the gun. The inner and outer layers are double-layered, and a hole is made in the inner iron sleeve for inserting wooden wedges. With an iron sleeve fixed and protected, the barrel of the gun is not easy to break. The outer iron sleeve is connected to the spring and is responsible for breaking the inverted triangular wooden wedge and releasing a certain recoil force......

When Marin left Krakow with the army, his parents and brothers, Anne, who had just become the queen of Poland, was very reluctant. She held the hands of her parents and brothers, refused to let go, and cried profusely. Because, Anne knows, this farewell, it will be difficult to meet again in the future.

This era is not the afterlife, just buy a plane ticket or train ticket and you can easily go back to your parents' home. In this era, it was so far from Aurich to Krakow in Poland, moreover, the road was not smooth. If the queen wants to go back to her mother's house, she must bring at least a thousand guards before she can travel. Otherwise, it's not safe.

Therefore, if Anne wants to go home to see it in the future, it will be difficult and she may not have a chance once a year. Anne was well aware of this, so she was very sad about her family's departure.

However, this is the reality. Daughters who marry out always have to face this problem, especially those women who marry abroad. If you marry too far, it has become a luxury to want to go back to your parents' home to visit relatives in the future. The only way to get in touch with your family is probably to write a letter......

Although they were extremely reluctant, the elder Hoffman and Lady Mary overcame their affection and reluctance and left Anne. After all, their home is not in Poland, but in the northwestern regions of Germany......

"I now regret marrying Anne to Poland, what about becoming a queen? We'll never see our baby daughter again! On the way back to China, the elder Hoffman suddenly sighed.

"Yes, my poor Anne, I will henceforth have to live in a distant land in Poland...... Woo-woo...... "Lady Mary wept sadly.

Marin pursed his lips and thought to himself—didn't you just rush to the ground when you heard that Zygmunt I might be king? In order to make Anne a queen, she gave Anne, a good cabbage white in her early 20s, to Zygmunt I, a 39-year-old "pig", to arch ......

However, he didn't dare to say it at this time. Lady Mary was fine, but old Hoffman would have been annoyed if he had heard Marin say this. If he started beating himself, it would be inconvenient for Marin to beat him back......

Escorted by tens of thousands of troops, the journey was naturally smooth, and no blind fool rushed to die. So, along the way, Marin is bored.

Upon his return to Aurich, Marin quickly called in a group of craftsmen who were in charge of making the spring lance and ordered them to improve the spring lance according to their own ideas, and to verify and confirm the thickness and size of the inverted triangular cork wedge......
