Those who refuse to change despite repeated admonishment...remove directly. What? You still want to retire and go home? How can such a good thing happen? Do you think the army can come in when it wants and leave when it wants!

Those who are dismissed will usually be sentenced to desertion, and then directly thrown into a special deserter camp to work under fed and exhausting coolies, and even harm their families.

What, you have a big temper and you are not afraid of being beaten. When you enter the Taobing camp, you still shout that you will beat me to death, even if you are unable to resist... Sigh, this kind of person is usually shot directly.

The training of the Chu army's recruits has always been very strict. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the soldiers to lay out formations on the battlefield and fight with their heads down in the face of the enemy's guns, bows and arrows. Their comrades were half blown away by the shells.

, they could still turn a blind eye and continue to move forward steadily.

After a complete three months of training in the recruit training camp, the Chu army's recruits have a good chance of passing the test regardless of their physical fitness and personal combat skills.

The Chu army's cavalry training was not as strict as that of the infantry in the early days. It was still trained according to the traditional cavalry training method, focusing on riding skills and the soldiers' personal combat skills.

After all, the Chu army's cavalry were originally from the Yulin frontier army, and most of the cavalry they received later were also Ming army cavalry, because they also have a strong flavor of traditional cavalry, from training to combat.

This is different from the custom of infantry and artillery, which are built directly from the ground up without any involvement from the traditional army.

And Guards Major General Sheng Yushu wanted to introduce infantry training methods and even combat ideas into the cavalry.

Because only the strict military discipline of the line infantry can allow the cavalry to maintain a tight unified formation to fight.

The Fourth Cuirassier Regiment and the three Hussars Regiments are the products of this kind of military thinking.

But now it seems that Sheng Yushu has succeeded!

In the impact battle just now, the total strength of the enemy's cavalry was actually greater, but our own cavalry concentrated its strength and directly killed the opponent's central army, forming a huge local strength advantage.

After a charge, the three cavalry regiments of our own lost only more than 80 cavalry in total, most of which were hussars covering the two wings and using sabers to fight.

The main force, the Fourth Cuirassier Regiment, only lost a total of more than 20 cavalry!

As for the Eastern Cavalry, they lost at least 500 cavalry!

The enemy's Chinese cavalry was directly penetrated by the Chu cavalry. In the process, they suffered heavy losses, most of which were killed by the Fourth Cuirassier Regiment.

If we compare the casualties, the casualty ratio between the East Riding Cavalry and the Fourth Cuirassier Regiment is about fifteen to one.

This is a very scary number.

Earlier, before the Liaoxi Campaign was launched, the 4th Cuirassier Regiment, which had just arrived at Shanhaiguan, was ordered to conduct an actual combat exercise with the 4th Cavalry Brigade, the elite traditional cavalry of the Chu Army. The referee decided that the casualty ratio was five to one.

Today’s ratio is in actual combat, which is much higher than the number determined by the referee.

"This is the true power of cavalry charging on the wall!"

Charging while riding a wall is the future of the cavalry!" Guards Major General Sheng Yushu looked back at the cavalrymen under his hands with faces of joy and even disbelief.

Immediately raised his saber high: "Turn around and attack the enemy's left flank!"

"Let's do it again!"

"The Guards charge!"

Guards Major General Sheng Yushu, with his cavalry, made a sharp turn and directly attacked the enemy's left-wing cavalry, which was still in a stunned state.

The enemy's left-wing cavalry still didn't understand the situation on the battlefield. They didn't even understand how the Chinese army was defeated in just a moment.

You know, they have three thousand riders

The Chu barbarian cavalry on the opposite side seems to have three to four thousand people, but apart from the cavalry artillery and the infantry (baggage) with muskets, there are actually only two thousand cavalry.

They captured the cavalry from the east, so they had a strength advantage.

Not to mention, these three thousand cavalry are the elite cavalry in the Eight Banners. Whether it is equestrian skills, archery skills, or even dismounting to fight, they are all top-notch.

However, such a group of elite cavalry was directly defeated by the Chinese army during the opponent's attack...

And the cavalry on their left wing, according to their usual fighting methods, actually did not come into contact with many enemies at all. To put it bluntly, in the charge just now, most of them, the cavalry on the left wing, were actually alone...

Only the eastern left wing cavalry on the edge can compete with the Chu army's hussars covering the flanks.

However, after a strange charge, more than a thousand cavalry of the Chinese army were completely defeated, and then these Chu barbarian cavalry turned directly and charged towards their left wing.

What should we do at this time?

What else can I do? Of course I have to turn around and run away. Is it possible that I can't do it again with the Chu Manzi on the opposite side...

Just now, three thousand of their cavalry clashed against each other, and they were all defeated cleanly.

Now the Chinese army suffered heavy casualties, and the rest fled in scattered pieces. The right wing was a little further away, and their left wing only had a few hundred riders.

Even in a regular battle, you can't beat the two thousand cavalry on the opposite side!

So they turned their horses around and ran away, not to mention running so fast that even the 4th Cuirassiers behind them couldn't catch up...

Seeing this, Guards Major General Sheng Yushu directly ordered the 4th Cuirassiers Regiment to stop advancing, leaving only the 3rd Hussars Regiment to pursue, while he himself led the 4th Cuirassiers Regiment and the 2nd Hussars Regiment to kill again.

Headed east to capture the remaining hundreds of cavalrymen on the right wing...

They were smarter when they captured the right-wing cavalry. As soon as they saw the main force of the Chu cavalry turning around, they ran away without waiting for Sheng Yushu and his cavalry to pursue them.

These Dongfeng cavalry are all typical cavalry and light cavalry. Although many cavalry are wearing armor, they all look like armored cavalry... But in fact, they are either wearing armor or only add a small amount of iron.

Although the cotton clip has poor protection, it is very light in weight.

It's just like the cavalry-specific light half-armor worn by the hussars and dragoons in the Chu army... It's said to be half-body armor, but it's two different concepts from the conventional half-body armor of the infantry. There is a big gap in weight and protective capabilities.

Very.

Therefore, sometimes if you just look at the clothes of the Chu army or the Dongdu cavalry, don’t think that the armored ones on the other side are heavy cavalry... They are just the same thing, and they can only block arrows at medium distances or above or be chopped with light cold weapons.

And so on.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

If it is a heavy arrow, especially a heavy arrow used to break armor, it will not be able to block it at all.

And the protection ability against cold weapons such as spears and blunt weapons is not very good.

You can't expect the powerful protective performance of half-body armor that is so light and has a relatively large protective area.

What really has protective properties is the cuirassier's breastplate!

Although the protective area is a bit small, the protection of the front of the torso is very good. It can resist even medium and long-range bullets. As for arrows, even close-range armor-piercing heavy arrows cannot break through...
p>

Just kidding, that is a steel plate a few millimeters thick. Although it is mild steel and the craftsmanship is very poor, it is still steel... It is designed to block bullets... Just arrows... It is not the protective purpose of the breastplate at all.

!

Of course, the breastplate can only protect the front torso, and the helmet can only protect the head. Considering that the enemies of the Chu Empire, whether they are the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Mongols, or those from the Western Regions, they are still playing horseback shooting. A large number of

The stage of equipping bows and arrows.

In order to protect the limbs from being injured by cold weapons such as enemy arrows or sabers.

The cavalrymen of the Fourth Cuirassier Regiment are equipped with leather arm guards, skirts, long leather boots, long butt gloves, etc. in addition to the breastplate.

Although these leather protective gears can only protect against ordinary bows and arrows, medium and long-range heavy armor-piercing swords, and light cutting and slashing weapons, they are better in light weight.

When these leather protective gears are combined with the breastplate, the cuirassier unit of the Fourth Cuirassier Regiment can achieve a perfect balance between protection and mobility.

Well, this situation is only temporary.

If the enemies of the Da Chu Empire gradually progress in the future and abandon a large number of cold weapons such as bows and arrows, and mainly use muskets, then this kind of makeshift leather accessories can directly withdraw from the stage of history, because this thing cannot be defended at all.

Live the bullet.

At that time, a cuirassier had a breastplate and a helmet, which was enough!

As for the hussars and dragoons, the light half-armor specially worn by cavalry can be thrown away directly.

But now... the enemies of the Dachu Empire are still using bows and arrows and cold weapons on a large scale. Therefore, light armor or even leather armor that seems to be very poor can still play a big role on the battlefield to protect our own soldiers from being attacked.

Barbarian arrows, swords and other backward weapons are a threat.

Well, the premise is that these backward barbarian troops can have the opportunity to rush over and shoot arrows at the Chu army!

But the Chu army was stupid enough to stand and receive arrows!

But in actual combat...no one is stupid!

Just now, the East Riding Cavalry wanted to engage in a typical traditional cavalry cavalry shooting tactic of going left and right, back and forth... But the Guards Cavalry did not give them this opportunity at all, and directly held up their lances and sabers,

They formed a tight formation and rushed over.

Simply and neatly beat the enemy cavalrymen on the opposite side until they ran away!

Three thousand Dong captured the elite cavalry, and more than 500 were killed and wounded on the spot. Later, the Chu army sent hussars to pursue and kill hundreds of them, resulting in 800 to 900 casualties.

The remaining two thousand Dongfeng cavalry had no choice but to flee, and they divided into several parts to escape. There was no way to stop them in a short time.

Judging from this battle, even if there are still more than 2,000 of the three thousand Eastern Capture elite cavalry, they have actually disappeared from the Eastern Capture combat sequence!

The cavalry detachment of the Guards of the Dachu Empire ignored the scattered fleeing Eastern Cavalry and continued to move toward the northeast, which was the battlefield where the Chinese armies of the two sides fought!

Sheng Yushu needs to lead the Guards cavalry detachment to penetrate directly to the rear of the enemy's central army, give them a heavy blow, directly crush them, and establish the victory of this very large-scale battle!

In this regard, Major General Sheng Yushu has full confidence!

After this battle, their Guards cavalry's large-scale wall-mounted charge tactics were destined to become famous all over the world.
