"Quicken, quicken, soldiers!"

On the school grounds, Laszlo shouted to his soldiers,

"Have no mercy, don't be afraid, we will bring fear to our enemies, and the swords and guns in our hands will send our enemies to hell."

Laszlo rode a tall horse at the front, followed by a group of cavalrymen who charged after him, all dressed in heavy armor, and even the horses were dressed in horse armor, all of which were pure black, and the unbeatable impact of standing there on the soul of the people, let alone when they rushed towards you.

"欻~"

A spear was inserted into the scarecrow's head, and it was brought up high, and the scarecrow, which weighed dozens of pounds on purpose, seemed to be held high in the air effortlessly in their hands, and Laszlo laughed at this scene,

"Well done, my soldiers, haha~ This is what you should do as a soldier of the Empire."

Laszlo smiled happily, judging from the number and equipment of this cavalry, this is obviously not a simple role, after all, it is unlikely that it is an ordinary army that can do such a fully armed,

"Attention, soldiers, the cavalry gun should be inserted into the enemy's mouth, so as to ensure a one-hit kill, don't hit the head, the skull of the head is relatively hard, not to mention that this must be the enemy's key protection unit, and don't hit the neck, so that the enemy will not die for a while, understand?"

"Understood, Caesar!"

The slogans were uniform and sonorous, and Laszlo nodded with satisfaction,

"Now, practice all of them for me a thousand more times, until you're done!"

"Understood, Caesar!"

Let the cavalry commander take a good look at them, Laszlo came to the other side, this side is also cavalry, the difference is that these people are all white horses and silver armor, but the armor wrapping area is obviously much less than the previous team, the horses are only a little blocked at the joints of the horses, and the height of the horses is also shorter than the black horses ridden, but it can be clearly seen that these knights are flexible, and they are very familiar with riding horses sideways, turning up and down, and the superb riding skills can be easily seen,

And these people are not equipped with riding guns, they are equipped with scimitars, and they have bows and arrows on one side, and they are proficient in riding and archery, but it can be found that these people are much more numerous than the dark horse knights.

Seeing such a scene, Laszlo also had the heart to compare, came to the high platform, and motioned to the flag bearer to play the flag.

"Spread out!"

Like a pile of stones thrown out, the cavalry team immediately dispersed, but it was not panicked, but orderly, and it was faintly visible that five people were in a team, and such a squad could be put into battle at any time.

"Concentrate!"

Soon, with the change of flags, the cavalry quickly gathered, and they were also organized in five people, gathered together.

Seeing this, Laszlo was satisfied, and strode down the high platform to the big tent of the Chinese army, where Louis had been waiting for him for a long time.

"How? Do you still satisfy the cavalry you have assembled? ”

Louis took a sip of his coffee and looked at Laszlo with a smile on his face.

"Yes, they're good soldiers! It's a pity that there are fewer of them. ”

Laszlo stretched his shoulders, took the coffee from Louie, and took a sip.

"Is it too little? These soldiers of yours alone have made Chavez almost scream, and the cost of your soldiers is not low at all. ”

Louis was funny, Laszlo really didn't know the price of oil and rice, and he almost didn't have a fight with Chavez for this.

"If you want me to say, Chavez, it's just a deduction, what does he always want to save money for? Will the money stay there and give birth to cubs? If you don't spend it, sooner or later it will be robbed, and it will be better to spend it early, and it will save others to worry about it. ”

Laszlo put his coffee cup on the table and sat down.

"What? Do you think anyone will think about us? ”

Louis is curious, and Laszlo does not hide it,

"Didn't Your Majesty let me go to the banquet of Romanus last time? Good fellow, I went in and looked, a room of dignitaries, I have never seen any ingredients on the table, the table, white marble, the fountains on both sides are also surrounded by marble, all the way outward, the whole scene is so luxurious, people are ashamed to look at it, Louie, compared to them, we are like rednecks. ”

"What do you mean... Did Romanus make other moves? ”

Louis thoughtfully, Laszlo grinned,

"That's for sure, with Romanus's money, if he just relied on it, he would never be able to hold such a banquet in his life, and there must be something greasy about it."

"This is not necessarily, Laszlo, Romanus is an ancestral nobleman, isn't it normal to have a little money?"

Louis shrugged, his face full of banter, and he didn't care.

"Come on! When it comes to noble bloodlines, isn't Your Majesty more noble? I have never seen His Majesty hold such a lavish dinner, and now the question is, where did Romanus get so much money, there must be some unknown secret behind them. ”

Laszlo was mysterious, Louis pursed his lips disdainfully,

"Everybody knows that Romanus they have a cat, but then? Do you have any proof? ”

"Evidence? If I had evidence, I would have arrested someone, and I would have returned the evidence, but I would not have sat here with you without me. ”

As soon as Laszlo raised his hand, he leaned back on the chair very helplessly, and the whole person looked a lot lazy.

"Come on, don't think about it so much, train your soldiers honestly! Before His Majesty changes his mind. ”

This is Louis teasing Laszlo, Laszlo is so good that he has to grind a little money from the central treasury to train his soldiers, and now Laszlo is desperately trying to prove that he is not wrong, and is very sensitive to the accusations of others.

"You know what? Cavalry is the king of war, do you understand? Before the battle, I first used light cavalry to harass the enemy's flanks and disrupt the enemy's formation, and then charged with heavy cavalry, followed by infantry as a support, and slowly divided the enemy into two, three, or four groups. ”

"It's a pity..."

Speaking of which, Laszlo smacked his lips,

"If only the artillery could be moved, a weapon of war like the urban cannon, if it was fought before the battle, the most elite troops would be scattered."

What makes Laszlo even more regrettable is that Urban died due to a cannon bombardment of Constantinople that year, such a genius unfortunately withdrew from the stage of history in such a way.

"Times are advancing, Laszlo, the war in Palestine has clearly shown that muskets are the future, and the Mamluk heavy cavalry can only retreat with hatred in the face of His Majesty's great phalanx, and you are lagging behind in this point,"

Louis said unhurriedly, with a smug smile on his face,

"If I lead the army, the cavalry is only an auxiliary role, my army stands there, if the enemy comes, I will return fire with muskets, if the enemy does not move, I will slowly advance towards my goal, if the cavalry dares to rush at my formation, hum ... The flames from the arquebus were enough to make any horse lose control, without exception. ”

"Nonsense..."

Laszlo whispered dissatisfied, and Louis didn't hear it, but on the one hand, Louis's idea did provide Laszlo with a lot of help.

It is undeniable that when cavalry faces unformed infantry, its lethality is huge, especially light cavalry, and heavy cavalry plays more of a role in breaking the formation.

In terms of arms alone, cavalry with high mobility is inherently superior to infantry, and Sun Tzu said: "Therefore, those who are good at fighting are invincible, and they will not lose the defeat of the enemy." ”

Before the invention of firearms, the infantry did not have a good way to deal with the cavalry, unless the cavalry took the initiative to charge, otherwise the infantry had no way, if you want to target the cavalry, you have to deal with the enemy's mounts, horses are still animals after all, the explosion of firearms and the smell of gunpowder can easily make them irritable,

And Louis said that there is actually a solution to the situation, for example, the horse's ears can be plugged with straw to alleviate the impact of the explosion on the horse, Louis's method is not feasible in Laszlo's opinion, the main reason is that the current musket technology is not developed, Constantine ordered to build the Sefru musket is an arquebus, this musket is troublesome to load, and it is ignited by a fire rope suspended outside, which shows that there is a period of time from ignition to launch, and this time is enough for cavalry to rush into the infantry formation.

"Laszlo, in my opinion, soon, your cavalry will come in handy."

Louis seems to know something that Laszlo doesn't know, which intrigues Laszlo,

"What's going on? Louis, what did your majesty say to you? ”

"Your Majesty didn't say it directly, but you didn't find out? Your Majesty's notion of the duties, duties, and powers of a local lord has always been vague, I guess... Your Majesty may have to carry out some form of purge of the place,"

Louis lowered his voice and whispered closer to Laszlo,

"Moreover, several of the great nobles of the country, such as the Kontostephanoi family and the Kantakuzenoi family, did not come to see Your Majesty, but only sent representatives, and in their opinion, Your Majesty, who has ascended the throne, is not one of their people, and I don't think Your Majesty will allow the existence of a country within a country."

An interesting but equally sad phenomenon is that in the later years of the Byzantine Empire, due to the weakening prestige of the central government, the power of the local aristocracy began to enter Constantinople in large numbers, occupying the position of the former central officials, and the central government, which had been fighting against the local lords, had disappeared

Under these circumstances, the Komnenos and later the Palaiologos were no longer the relationship between the emperor and his subjects, but the relationship between the shareholders, and Constantine was the chairman, but he could not bind his shareholders, which was the basic political pattern of the late Byzantine Empire.
