Chapter 69: Luo Man Doesn't Stand on Sides, Wang Ye Doesn't Favor Peace (I)
"I talked to Lao Yang two days ago." Li Xuanying said to several other people: "We also have this kind of big car, but there is still a big difference in the way of using it. ”
"The self-defense forces of our organization, the number of which is very small. At present, there have been no large-scale wars, but there have been a few conflicts with local nobles. Brother Zerik also relayed: "But from the experience that has been made, there is a great difference in emphasis. ”
Jeska spread his hands, pointed into the distance, and shook his head.
"The captain said that your cavalry is very strong, and he is very envious." After translating, Brother Zelick added: "I feel the same way. We've never fought such a rich battle. ”
Li Xuanying and Guo Kang both nodded.
In Europe, for a long time, those who could provide high-quality cavalry were generally small lords and the like. But the sect of these people is too "grassroots", and the number of cavalry is not only small, but also the opinions of the real mud legs who are the main force of the army are not completely identical.
In this situation where the cavalry was weak and unreliable, Jeska and others had to use barricades and firearms to assist the infantry in order to achieve the goal of fighting against the HRE Knights.
Therefore, these people use chariots, in fact, they are also forced out.
But in the army of the Purple Horde, cavalry was a strong force.
The Khanate and the HRE had fought many times before, and the Purple Horde army's consistent idea was to use more powerful armored cavalry troops to actively look for opportunities to limit or even eliminate the HRE Knights. On the battlefield, the Purple Horde infantry mainly considered attacking, rather than defending with the help of fortifications and terrain, or holding spears as human flesh to resist horses.
In some places, such as the 30,000 households in the northern horde, as well as the military government on the northern shore of the Black Sea and Crimea, there is not even a pure infantry in the strict sense. Although there is also a saying about car camp, most of the time, it is literal. At the moment, it is true that I have no experience of playing with the base so much.
"You are also a way of thinking, and it is the kind that is difficult for us to think of and have the opportunity to practice." Li Xuanying said frankly to the two: "We are very interested in this kind of experience. ”
"Unfortunately, we can't be sure of the value of this method of warfare in large-scale engagements." After asking Jeska, Zeric relayed: "The captain is worried that sooner or later Father Hus and the Church of Rome will fall out completely, and then we may not be faced with a few lords who are looking for fault, but with the army of Emperor Sigismund and his princes." ”
"Whether this tactic is useful or not, to be honest, we don't know in our hearts. It's just that this is the best way I can think of now. As a last resort, I can only continue to use it. ”
"Actually, you don't have to worry about this......" Guo Kang tried to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he found that he couldn't say anything.
At this time, the Hussite war he knew about had not actually begun. You can't tell him that in the face of your tactics, the HRE army will behave like a rookie, giving away heads in all kinds of unbelievable proportions every day.
As a qualified commander, it is normal for Jeska to be cautious, and it is useless for him to persuade him. Therefore, Guo Kang simply left him alone - anyway, the actual performance in the future will prove everything.
Over there, Li Xuanying and Zhu Wenkui had already chatted with Jieshika.
"You probably don't know it yet." Zelik explained to Zhu Wenkui: "The current situation is actually very bad. The church is determined to ask for money, and behind the church is Sigismund. Therefore, as long as the confrontation is together, he will definitely lead troops to intervene. ”
"He wants to save up money to pull another army and fight with us." Li Xuanying judged: "It's not surprising. ”
"Yes. Even our farmers in the countryside knew that Sigismund's wife had been robbed. Zerik smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't fight, it may not be normal." ”
"What's going on?" Zhu Wenkui asked.
"It was all thirty years ago." "It was probably in 1382 that the king of Hungary and Poland, Rajosz, died, leaving only two daughters, so he ordered his sister Maria to inherit the throne. ”
"Before his death, Lajos betrothed his daughter Maria to Sigismund, and sent them to Poland to persuade the nobles to pledge their allegiance, and prepared to unite Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland against us together."
"The Polish aristocracy, though they did not like Sigismund, did not want to continue with Hungary. But it was clear that we were going to be more scary, so in the end we reluctantly agreed. ”
"You don't have a lot of contact here, so you may feel unfamiliar. But European dynasties can eat other territories by getting married. He explained to Zhu Wenkui: "The princes of Alemanni are quite good at this, so the Khan court decided at that time that it was necessary to find a way to stop it. Otherwise, wouldn't people get married and become overlords? ”
"How did you stop this?" Zhu Rangna also asked curiously.
"Isn't that a good idea?" Li Xuanying explained: "You see, the key to expanding the land with marriage is to marry this woman. Therefore, as long as we directly arrest the woman and make him unmarried, won't we break their marriage plan? ”
“…… Who came up with this idea? Jeanne said helplessly.
"I don't know." Li Xuanying spread his hands: "That time the situation was more special, and we actually succeeded once." ”
"Under normal circumstances, the king of such a big country would not be so easy to catch. But at that time, they had a problem on their side. ”
"King Mary was so young, he was only 11 years old when he ascended the throne. The affairs of the state were managed by her mother, Queen Elizabeth, and her husband, Sigismund. Many nobles could not accept women as kings, and many people did not like the Queen Mother and Sigismund, so there was chaos within the country for a while. ”
At that time, Hungary also included Croatia and Bosnia. The Queen Mother was the great Bosnian aristocracy, while the Croatian nobles hated her and Sigismund's rule. So, they united some of the same disgruntled Hungarian nobles and invited King Charles of Naples. Charles defeated the Queen Mother, blasted away Sigismund, proclaimed himself king, and established a new court. ”
"Wait, there's one more person." Zhu Wenkui interrupted: "What is the origin of this new king? ”
"I don't know." Li Xuanying directly gave up explaining: "The relationship between them is very complicated, just catch a prince, it is estimated that they are all relatives, and they all have the right to inherit, and the ghost knows how to calculate it." ”
