As for the weapons and equipment of the Tang Army, I have to say that this is the most exciting army in the world before the massive use of firearms known!

The main force of the Tang Army was mostly composed of infantry and cavalry, and a standard corps should include 12,500 infantry, 5,000-6,000 cavalry, and 1,000-2,000 baggage soldiers, with a total of about 20,000 horses.

Among them, among the 12,500 infantry, 7,500 are armor soldiers, mainly using Mingguang armor.

Among the 7,500 armor soldiers, there are 2,500 Mo knife soldiers, each of whom has a bow and 30 arrows hanging on their waists, and a long-handled Mo knife and a spear are crossed behind their backs.

In addition, 5,000 armor soldiers also have a bow, 30 arrows, a gun, and a heavy knife with a broken handle.

Among the 5,000 light infantry, 2,500 were equipped with a bow, 30 arrows, a heavy knife with a broken handle, a spear, and a square cowhide shield.

Another 2,500 light soldiers with a bow and 30 arrows. On his back he carried a larger arrow, loaded with 100 arrows, a crossbow, and a spear.

The Tang Army's bow and crossbow armament rate was 120%, and each soldier was equipped with more than three weapons. Compared with the Qin and Han armies, the firepower is 3-5 times stronger, and the impact power is also greatly improved!

What is even more interesting is that in order to cooperate with the cavalry to complete the nomadic army with fast movement speed and long distances, the infantry units of the main force of the Tang Army's Fan Zhen Army and the Central Army were mobile by chariots and horses, rather than on foot. Get out of the car and fight in battle when you get to the battlefield!

The cavalry of the Tang Army was different from that of the previous Northern and Southern Dynasties. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the extensive use of mature horse pedals made the cavalry develop from light cavalry to heavy armored cavalry in the Qin and Han dynasties, that is, men and horses were protected by heavy armor and launched impact battles on the battlefield. However, the main opponent of the Tang army at that time was the nomadic light cavalry, and it was mainly a long-distance attack, so although the Tang army also had heavy cavalry, it was more still light cavalry.

The cavalry of the Tang Army reversed the heavy equipment of the previous Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the protection of its soldiers was very good, but the war horse had very few armor pieces, only protecting the chest and face!

The Tang cavalrymen were protected by perfect armor, and their armor was similar to that of the infantry.

The early Xuanjia was also gradually eliminated and replaced by the Mingguang Armor. But the skirt armor of the cavalry armor, the armor of the armor was significantly more broken than that of the infantry, which was to facilitate the movement on the horse. To compensate, the Don cavalry used belts to fasten the armor pieces on the legs and hands.

Each Tang cavalry carries a spear, a round shield, a bow, 30 arrows, and a long and short Tang knife (horizontal knife). The combat readiness is quite perfect!

There was also a great breakthrough in the tactical application of long-range combat of the Tang Army: in actual combat, the cavalry of the Tang Army and the infantry in the car reached the battlefield together!

If the enemy attacked first, the Tang army had the same high number of bows and crossbows as the Song army, first attacked the opponent with arrows, and then met the sword formation, and when the two armies were mixed together, the cavalry quickly disturbed the enemy's rear from the flank, and attacked the opponent on both fronts!

If our army takes the initiative to attack, the cavalry will mainly be responsible for disturbing the enemy's rear from the flanks and rear, and resettling the opponent's main force, while the infantry will begin to advance in a Mo knife formation!

Finally achieve encirclement and annihilation! In the history books, there are "advancing like a wall" and "when the heir is the heir, everyone is broken" to describe the powerful power of Tang Mo's sword formation!

The tactics of the Tang army were somewhat similar to Alexander the Great's spear formation and cavalry tactics, but compared with the simple military formations in the ceremonial warfare of Macedonia at that time, the Tang army had a high-level combat advantage!

It can be seen that the cooperation of the Tang Army's infantry cavalry is completely different from the later "two-wing iron cavalry"! Although the cavalry of the Don Army was integrated with the infantry, its use in battle was completely independent of the infantry!

It can be said that the Tang Army created the best example of infantry and cavalry warfare! The tactical-level R&F of the Tang Army tried to annihilate it all, and it was invincible and domineering. This is completely different from the style of other armies that use infantry as a tool to defend themselves in front of cavalry. This fully shows that the Tang Army has a high-level active offensive spirit!

It can be seen that the basic tactics of the Tang Army are "flanking and roundabout, flanking and flanking"! The Tang Army perfectly combined the power of the infantry array with the powerful mobility of the cavalry through the innovation of "animalized infantry transport", and exerted the power of the most powerful "anti-cavalry regiment" in history! It should be considered that through the evolution of the state system over thousands of years, on the basis of the enormous wealth brought about by the free economy, and at the expense of the country's mobilization capacity, the Tang Army has gained the most powerful external offensive capability in history!
