Speaking of the equipment of the ancient cavalry and the Ming Dynasty
Many people think that the heavy cavalry in the era of cold weapons is the kind of iron cans with men and horses, which is actually a wrong impression.
In the West, the full-body armor is actually more of a ritualized armor, which is used for pretending, performing, and dueling. It weighs a lot of weight, has a narrow field of vision, and is extremely inconvenient to wear. The knight must use this thing with several servants and attendants, and he must also take a wrench and bolt it, which is only suitable for short-distance straight impact in a short time, and nothing else can be done.
The real battle will not last too short, but it is too uncomfortable to wear dozens of kilograms of full-body armor - not to mention the obstructive armor running back and forth on the battlefield, carrying twenty kilograms of bricks for an hour or two, it is a person who will collapse.
Fighting a war is not about pretending to be forced, but about being practical.
The cuirassiers of the Nahuang period were already real heavy cavalry, a terrifying existence that swept across Europe. Its strength does not come from just one piece of armor, but from many aspects. The Old Guards require soldiers to be more than 1.76 meters and have five years of military experience, and the quality of this soldier alone is off the charts.
Many friends always feel that a well-equipped army is strong, and this view is really wrong. The Saudi royal army is well equipped, and it is full of bags by the Yemeni guerrillas. The volunteer army is poorly equipped enough, and it is really fighting with the US army by will.
There is also the equipment of the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which is really bad and bad. In ancient times, there was no use for technology, and it was useless to work hard, and everything was in vain. There are many records in the history books about this. These are all management issues.
In fact, you can compare it to the rabbit army in the nineties, in the absence of the pressure of war, the military industry and the army will degrade. Don't talk about the bad things in business, the planes built by Shen Fei back then were very badly made, the kind that were so rotten that they exploded. The army has to pinch their noses and admit it - because Shen Huoyi was already the most advanced back then.
