Chapter 381: The Last Cavalry (Part I)
In the Spanish army position, a group of cavalry of about 8,000 men was gathering, and then they took up their sabers, dressed in fancy clothes, and then they seemed to be ready to fight. And the Spanish military commander Boris looked at the cavalry, and immediately went over and ordered them.
"Warriors of the Kingdom of Spain, you are our Spanish knights, you will use your sabers today, and then teach those Chinese who do not have any chivalry, they will become your sword ghosts. And when the time comes, you will be able to kill them fiercely and use their blood to achieve the glory of our Spanish knights! Go, go and serve His Majesty the King! Boris shouted.
"Long live, long live the king, long live the knight!" The cavalry shouted.
And they soon all rode war horses and began to rush to the position of the Taiwanese army at night, and that Boris saw this scene and was helpless.
"General, can you succeed this time?" The staff officer asked.
"Hopefully it will work!" Boris replied.
"Hopefully, don't the generals have confidence? This is the most elite cavalry in Spain, the most important cavalry, they are all knights! They are all important cores of our Spanish army, and if none of them can defeat the Taiwanese, then I'm afraid no one will be able to defeat the Taiwanese! The staff officer asked.
"Cavalry? Knight? Hum! Boris snorted softly.
The cavalry, which numbered more than 8,000 people, rushed to the position in Taiwan, but they did not rush directly to the position, but bypassed from the side under the leadership of the cavalry division commander.
"Commander, what should we do next? Do you want to attack the positions of the Taiwanese head-on? Someone asked.
"Hmph, of course we are not going to attack the positions of the Taiwanese, because the frontal firepower of the Taiwanese is too fierce, and we can't resist it. However, if we can attack from the flank, then we can sneak up on the flank of the Taiwanese. As long as we can break through Taiwan's flank, we can also carry out mass murder in the belly of the Taiwanese army at that time. At that time, our cavalry was the hero of the Spanish Army. We are all heirs of the Spanish knights of the past, and we certainly cannot afford to lose to those lowly infantrymen! Our knights will always be noble, always nobler than those infantry! The commander of the Spanish cavalry division shouted.
And I have to say that the chivalry of the West is very profound. The so-called chivalry has been deeply ingrained in their bones, even in later generations. In later generations, there are still many people who say chivalry, but in fact, knights have long since died out, and there are still many foreign devils who believe in it, which has to be said to be a speechless answer.
And cavalry has always been a noble branch of the army in the Western world. And the infantry are all lowly troops, which is normal in the eyes of Westerners. Emphasis was placed on cavalry, and this was because of the continuation of chivalry in those years. And the cavalry also considered themselves noble, considered themselves nobler than the infantry, because for no other reason than they were the continuation of chivalry. In the Middle Ages, only nobles were able to fight on war horses. Knights are chosen by those nobles, those who have been trained for many years since childhood. As for the ordinary infantry, they are all cannon fodder from the battlefield, and they will never be the mainstream in the wars of the Western world.
And the Western devils in order to avoid the nobility of the knight class. It is simply pathological to be able to limit the development of bows and crossbows, to prevent such weapons from threatening the dominance of knights, and to prohibit the use of bows and crossbows in the course of war. You must know that a bow and crossbow can allow a farmer who has not been trained for a long time to kill a knight, and this kind of foreign devil can actually limit the development of bows and crossbows in order to preserve the superiority of the ruling class. And this is actually the same reason that the Manchu Qing Dynasty restricted the development of firearms in order to ensure the superiority of the Manchurian cavalry. And the foreign devils until the age of firearms, they could not get rid of the influence of chivalry, which has to be said to be a tragedy.
"Kill, let's go and sneak attack the flank of the Taiwanese. Sue them those yellow-skinned monkeys, the nobility and valor of our Spanish knights. The cavalry division commander shouted.
"Kill!"
Soon, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from the land of Sumatra, and the Spanish cavalry began to circle from a distance. And then it was hoped that a sneak attack on the flank of the Taiwanese army.
"Dada......"
"What's this sound about?" An engineer in charge of listening to the ground said with a listening urn.
This engineer is still responsible for continuing to listen to the ground to prevent the enemy from digging tunnels. But when he was listening to the ground, he heard a lot of "da-da" sounds, as if something was hitting the ground intensively, and this business made him feel very surprised. He couldn't even think of what this voice was.
"Did you hear that? What is this sound? Someone immediately asked.
"Did you hear that, too?" "Yes! We all heard it, too, and it was like a 'da-da' sound. What is this sound? ”
"By the way, could it be that there are cavalry coming?" Someone asked.
"What? Cavalry? Where did we get the cavalry? Someone immediately asked before he could react, apparently confused.
"Idiot, we have cavalry there in Taiwan, it's the enemy's cavalry, hurry up and report!"
At present, there is actually no cavalry for Taiwan, this is not that Wang Guorui does not want to form, but it is without war horses! Taiwan is located in the south, and it has never been a place to produce horses, and at most, there are some Sichuan horses and Yunnan horses in the southwest, but these war horses are not excellent war horses, they are ordinary horses that cannot be used as war horses. These horses are okay for civilian use in cultivation and transportation, but once they are used as war horses, it is simply a waste of soldiers' lives. As for the Manchus, it is impossible to sell them war horses, after all, the Manchus control the source of China's war horses, so naturally it is impossible to give them to Taiwan. As for Nanyang, there are no war horses to use, so if Taiwan wants to form cavalry, it is impossible. At this time, the cavalry was found, and it was probably the enemy's cavalry.
Thinking of the enemy's cavalry coming and sneaking up, then they immediately reported.
"Huh? Those guys actually sent cavalry, and since they dared to come to their deaths, then don't blame our men for being ruthless! How far are they from here? Ma Junhui asked.
An engineering staff officer immediately said: "Commander-in-chief, according to our experience in reading ancient books, we can hear the sound of army movements more than ten kilometers away, so we can know that the enemy's cavalry should be more than ten kilometers away." And as soon as we heard it, we came back to report it, and they only ran a few kilometers at most. As long as we can be faster, then we can still clean them up. ”
"Okay, immediately mobilize three machine gun battalions over, and then temporarily form a machine gun headquarters, we are going to let all these cavalry die under our machine guns today!" Ma Junhui said.
And those Spanish cavalrymen didn't know that their troop mobilization was actually unlucky in an ancient Chinese scientific and technological invention, and the effect of this listening urn was completely a very powerful weapon. Although he may not be able to hear the sound with great precision, he can hear the sound of a massive movement of enemy troops several kilometers away. After all, any large-scale army movement will make a loud footstep and tremor, and although this tremor sound does not seem to be able to travel far in the air, it can shake in the land to a distance that ordinary people cannot imagine. The ancients also used this method to put a listening urn on the ground and then judge the enemy's attack more than ten kilometers away. This method is the wisdom of ancient warfare and the wisdom of Chinese civilization, and Western devils could never have imagined that China would have such a thing as a listening urn. What's more, even if they thought about it, they might not think that this old weapon, which was more than 1,000 years ago, could have such a huge effect in modern warfare.
"It seems that what Lord Wang said is not wrong, there is no most powerful weapon in this world, only the most suitable weapon. I really didn't expect that this kind of listening urn in the era of cold weapons, which is rarely used, can actually save us twice, which is really amazing! Ma Junhui also sighed.
Now Ma Junhui's admiration for Wang Guorui has also deepened a little, because a small listening urn can actually have his usefulness. And he didn't know that Wang Guorui sent these listening urns to various troops to use at that time, and each unit didn't take it seriously, after all, this kind of old-fashioned thing would actually be sent down from above. But now it has been confirmed that there is no such thing as the most powerful weapon, only the most suitable one. As long as a weapon is used in the most suitable place, then he can also exert great power. No one would have imagined that the listening urn, which was invented more than 2,000 years ago, would have such a huge effect.
"Click, click!"
Three machine-gun battalions began to prepare, and they had already seen several kilometers away, the enemy with torches began to charge here, apparently trying to attack the flank of the Taiwanese army from the flank. However, the Taiwanese army did not panic at all, because they knew that the machine gun in their hands was not a fake, but a weapon of mass destruction that could kill them.
And Ma Junhui looked at the cavalry charging in the distance, and then suddenly sighed: "These cavalry may be the last cavalry in the world." I'm afraid that from now on, there will be no cavalry on horseback in the world. (To be continued.) )
