The guards of Los Angeles were taken to the horse farm and began to train on horseback, but no one had any experience in this area, and the so-called Yang Jiao Yang was only able to ride horses, and he was still far away from the riders and even the cavalry.

However, Yang Li's notebook played a role again, not that the previously stored materials contained unpopular tutorials such as iron cavalry charging, but that there were some pictures of well-known cavalry, from ancient times to the present, all of them were the elite of their time.

The mutant notebook automatically converted the picture into a three-person model, rotated it to show everyone, Yulia slid the mouse, and the operation was very happy, she identified a Cossack cavalry, and said let's follow this, beautiful.

Although Yang Li's mind came to mind the picture of Mao Mei wearing a fur coat, wearing a cylindrical fur hat, holding a spear and a scimitar, ignoring the rain of bullets as nothing, and heroically charging into battle, and then said: "No." ”

"Why?" The girl wrinkled her nose and disagreed.

"Because we don't have muskets."

In the era of the rise of the Cossacks, Europe had entered the Renaissance period, the tortoiseshell-like metal plate armor was torn apart in front of the musket, and the knightly troops that spent a lot of land and productivity to build were no longer the high-efficiency and low-damage groups on the battlefield.

The Cossacks usually carried spears and sabers into battle, and muskets were also standing weapons, and they were equally effective against the heavy cavalry, which was already dwindling in armor.

But from the current point of view, there are still several centuries before the birth of gunpowder, and during this long time, good armor and excellent protection are the guarantee for soldiers to accumulate combat experience, improve martial arts, and then devote themselves to the next battle with a stronger attitude.

In other words, elite troops with good armor will become stronger and stronger.

The Cossacks were light cavalry, and their existence was based on a society in which everyone could ride a horse among the steppe nomads, while Yang Jiao took the route of professional soldiers and cavalry, and could not bear too much battle damage.

Similar to pilots in modern warfare, each of them has been trained with a large amount of war resources, and the first one will be distressed for a long time.

In other words, Yang Li's cavalry is more similar to the knights of the Middle Ages, or the children of the families of the Northern and Southern Dynasties or the Sui and Tang dynasties.

These people have a characteristic, that is, they have received harsh war training since childhood, and they can become hundreds at critical moments.

In the Battle of Mongiza, the Leper King defeated Saladin's 30,000 troops with 400 knights, and almost killed the king of the desert, relying on the elite of the Knights.

As for the cavalry of the Chinese family, they are more prominent in terms of personal skills, whether it is Xiao Maha who fought two thousand troops alone, or Wei Chi Gong who grabbed horses on two horses, and then Yang Zaixing, who later rushed into the forbidden army of the Jin State on a single horse to capture the golden vulture and killed hundreds of people, are all representatives.

So Yang Li ignored the cavalry, crossed off the ironclad paladers, crossed out the Norman cavalry, and lingered on the Mamluks and the Templars for a while, and finally landed on the models of the other three types of cavalry.

They are the Xuanjia cavalry of the early Tang Dynasty, the hussars of Greater Poland, and the French gendarmerie of the same era.

Once the whole body plate armor is pierced, unless it is targeted by a top shooter, it is almost immune to stray arrows on the battlefield, and in close combat, as long as it is not hit by a heavy weapon or charged by a carbino, most of them can be unparalleled on the battlefield.

So Yang Li should choose a tightly wrapped canned cavalry?

Of course not, even if the plate armor is tightly worn, and the two sides are hedged with spears, and you still have to die if you stab it.

The speed of the war horse and the huge potential energy of the combination of men and horses can turn the tip of the spear into an unparalleled killing weapon, and what is the result of the infantry being hit by the head of a small cavalry spear?

Unlike most people's imagination, they were not stabbed through and made skewers, but the whole person seemed to have been hit by a car, flying high and falling to the ground.

In this case, even wearing plate armor will not save their lives.

The principle is very simple, the heavy cavalry launched a charge, which is equivalent to tying a steel bar to the car, so may I ask, the person in the other car is not only protected by tempered glass, but also has the steel plate of his own vehicle, can he survive the blow of that steel bar?

So it's still a quick IQ question.

The two horses hedge, in fact, ignoring each other's armor.

This is also why a small group of people blow the plate armor to the sky all day long, but they can take the example of the plate knight to fight the Ottoman cavalry, but find that there is no such imaginary situation of pushing all the way.

Moreover, even if Yang Jiao pointed out the technology of wrought iron in the future, he was still unwilling to create the kind of canned horseman that seemed invincible, but was actually flawed.

What kind of army is Yang going to build, it is an iron cavalry that can rush, can break the formation, take the edge of it, and can pick the enemy's main gun in the army, the only iron army in the whole era!

In view of this requirement, the cavalry that can only be produced by the gate lord of the Chinese family is his first choice, that is to say, although the group battle may not be stronger than the hussars or gendarmes, but when carrying out the decapitation operation, this force must be like a group of supersonic fighters, with superb technology to kill in, invincible, and irresistible.

Yang told Yulia his thoughts, and the girl nodded hurriedly and said Okay, you quickly find that Xiao Maha, I want to see him break two thousand first.

Yang said that this can't be done, and he also played this kind of record when he was eighteen years old, but there is no one in the back, but whether it is Huya or Xue Pijiang, I think he can be qualified for this kind of character.

As he spoke, he brought the two of them over and showed them the results.

The result is only half of it.

Xue Bijiang is still adapting, there is no problem riding on it, and it will take a while of training to stab the target with a gun. As for the tiger teeth, he was too heavy, and when he sat on the horse with a body of about 400 catties, the whole horse was not good.

Besides, this guy is equipped with heavy weapons, and it is normal to use it when he wears heavy armor and rushes into the crowd as a meat grinder, and the spear cavalry tactics of pursuing coming and going like the wind and killing with one blow are not suitable for him.

Twenty-five teenagers began to communicate with the war horses under the leadership of Xue Pijiang, but these horses were all tamed by Xue Pijiang, and basically had no feelings with their respective masters.

Yang Li said that there is no hurry, cavalry training is not achieved overnight, and a cavalry power is not born suddenly.

As long as the economic foundation is there, the reproduction of horses can be guaranteed, the training of riders is scientific and reasonable, and the perfect training system can finally be summarized and formed, and the model of the Los Angeles regime itself can be developed, then the professional cavalry units will continue to grow.

A few days later, Yang Li returned to the racecourse, and the teenagers were already able to ride on horseback in a daze.

That's right, it's a daze, not being thrown down by the horse, which is already a big progress.

"Yang, what's in your hand!" Yulia rode a jujube-striped horse, and waved her hand slightly, she did not dare to make too much movement, for she was afraid of startling the war horse under her crotch, because the girl had been jumped off by the horse more than once.

Mao Mei is a pure Mao countryman in the end, not mixed with the blood of the Cossacks or Tatars, with straight long legs, without a little O-shape, and it is normal to learn horseback riding not quickly.

Yang Jiao was of course not idle for the past two days, he stayed in the leather workshop in the city, endured the strange and unpleasant smell of nitrocelled leather, and finally let the tanner get what he wanted, and at the same time, the forging furnace also cast strange metal things according to his drawings.

Yang Li handed the things in his hand to Mao Mei: "Take a closer look, you should recognize them." ”

Yulia took it, moved a little bigger, fell off the horse's back again, and stood up grinning with her back back: "It turned out to be a saddle...... But this bronze is familiar, but I can't remember what it is. ”

Yang Li went up to help her knead, it was full of elasticity and good touch, but unfortunately it didn't take long for the girl to notice the intention, and he smiled and opened his hand.

Well, since I sincerely asked, then I will tell you with great mercy.

"This is the stirrup, one of the greatest inventions in the history of human warfare." Yang Jiao said and began to put the saddle, bridle and stirrup on the war horse together.

In order to prevent the horse from resisting, the tiger tooth held down the poor creature viciously.

The atmosphere was very miserable for a while, and the horse finally realized that he would completely lose his freedom in this life, so he worked hard and struggled.

Yang Jiao said that this is for your good, obediently hurt a little, and after sweating profusely, he finally put on the harness.

The horse had already lost its strength, and even Yulia could no longer resist when she climbed onto her back on the stirrups.

There are still many people in the world who have the talent of riding horses, although Yang Jiao's riding skills are not good, but he has a characteristic, that is, he has never used stirrups on horses in his life, and he has been riding a horse for the first time since he was ten years old, and this talent is automatically triggered.

It seems to be able to blow a wave, but in fact this talent is of little use, and the horse still has to step on the stirrup to be stable when it really runs.

Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, the cavalry of all nationalities around the world was all stirrupless, and they used mounted archery as their main mode of combat, and it was difficult to charge with guns or even with guns.

Until the stirrup was invented and popularized in the countless wars between the Xiongnu and the Han people, this seemingly super simple prop changed the entire history.

Without stirrups, the person on horseback can only press his weight on the horse's back through his hips, and if the gun hits the enemy, the criminal force will eventually be transmitted to the arm through the barrel of the gun, and then from the arm to the body, and finally fall on the horse's back, and how much friction is between the horse's back and the human body, and this time he will fall backwards from the horse due to the reaction force.

Since the stirrup is equipped, the rider can finally put the force point on the feet by standing, and humans are very adapted to standing and fighting, this posture can allow the power transmitted from the arms to reach the feet and act on the stirrup.

The mode of warfare of the hoplites, so it was implemented.

Yang Li is not afraid that these two skills will be learned.

Why.

Other tribes can't find decent horses, in this era of the decline of ungulates, the existence of mountain horses is already a miracle, as for catching normal horses, first of all, we must pass the training level, and then we must pass the donkey-sized horse through more than ten years or even decades, cultivate to be able to load adult men to run, and finally, with the relatively backward productivity of other tribes, I am afraid that it is impossible to feed the war horse grain and other concentrates.

War horses can't just eat grass.

Eating grass can only maintain immortality, and if you want to run and rush into battle, you have to feed it with food, so the scale of heavy cavalry in history has always been so small, not that you don't want to recruit on a large scale, but you really can't afford it.

Yang Li studied for a while, and finally Yulia was able to ride a war horse with a harness and start walking slowly, which was really a gratifying start.

Therefore, the leather armor production plan of the leather workshop in Los Angeles was put on hold for the time being, because an order for a batch of saddles had already arrived.

Yang Li looked at the young people who were full of interest and smiled with satisfaction, although they rode the horse all day, during which they fell countless times, but they were always able to get up without discouragement, try again, adjust again, this spirit of not being defeated and defeated, just like the warriors who defended this country one after another.

Finally, a young man followed Yulia, who was able to ride a horse and walk slowly, and for a while he was surrounded by other people like stars and moons, asking for experiences and exchanging experiences.

It was evening in L.A., and the sky was crimson.

Yang Li and Yulia sat side by side on the hill next to the racecourse, watching the teenagers below tirelessly.

"What do you want to say?" Mao Mei found that Yang Li wanted to speak and stopped.

"Hmm...... This time it's your turn to make dinner. ”

"Phew, don't think I don't know you're thinking about something else, be honest, what you just wanted to say."

Yang Li sighed, raised his head at an angle of one hundred and thirty-five degrees, and looked at the sky: "Thinking of running in the sunset, that is my lost youth." ”

"Get out," Yulia immediately punched him, "you're two years older than me, and I'm still a flower girl." ”

Yang Jiao was just about to take a good look at the scourge of this female warrior known as the flower season, but he saw a scout in the distance who was dark and panicked, his steps were scattered, and he ran towards this side, and after dozens of breaths, he came to the front.

Yang Li hurriedly untied the leather kettle around his waist and handed it to him,

"What's wrong?" Yulia asked.

The scout adjusted his breath and took a sip of water before he relieved his breath: "The team we sent out to find the azurite ore was detained!" ”
