This kind of cavalry that can wear heavy armor is either a military talent trained by a local noble family or a person with extraordinary martial arts skills. But in either case, the strength and agility of these cavalry are definitely not comparable to that of ordinary soldiers.
In the Tang Dynasty, the Xuanjia Army was like this, and in Rome it was undoubtedly the same. Anyway, at the current stage, Rome's steel output is significantly lower than that of China. In other words, they are almost the same.
But the muskets were different. Even with just a casual estimate, Li Jing could fully imagine the heavy armored cavalry that had dominated the world in the past and even dominated the destinies of countless small and large countries, almost completely ignoring the traditional military forces of the past. From then on,
They will all have to dodge left and right in the battle formation, and they will be trapped on the left and the right.
This is a weapon that directly changes the rules of war!
Once he realized it, Li Jing couldn't help but get very excited, and immediately after, Li Jing thought of another key point.
Before I said this, I was still thinking, why would Your Majesty send a batch of weapons here instead of doing anything else at this juncture? After all, such a thing should not happen at this time.
But now it seems that this musket is used to coordinate with Datang's strategy for this step.
Originally, I was still worried about how the Romans would use steam trains to carry artillery back and forth across the border to defend the country, and what the next step would be to encroach on it, but now that I saw it, it was really simple.
Because the northern border of Rome is far not as long as China, it is undeniable that the Romans used steam trains to carry artillery. In this way, the Tang Dynasty really had nothing to do with it. Heavy troops would not be able to get through anyway, and small troops would
Faced with the previous situation, after finishing the work and burning the food, they were surrounded by others before they could run away. But now that the Romans have a combination of steam trains and artillery as a means, it will be even easier to do this kind of thing. The Tang Dynasty
Dimensions are hard to come by.
After all, as long as the Romans put a few artillery pieces on the border, the rest of the army would only need to drag the Chinese imperial army to escape. However, the Chinese imperial army is not immortal. As long as the opponent pursues it, it will not be able to escape.
It will be delayed for a while, because after all, the Romans are not fooling around in vain. If they want to cut off the rear, they have to leave a considerable number of troops. It is definitely not possible to fight and retreat on their own - but with muskets, this thing is really
It may not work!
Because the output of a musket is quite "hard", unlike a bow and arrow that must hit key parts, this musket
After finally seeing the imperial airdrop, Duan Lun explained the situation of the musket. Li Jing felt more and more excited as he listened.
Although the power of musket projectiles and artillery can't be compared, if they hit a flesh and blood body, they will have a special effect, that is, they can seriously injure people with a single projectile. This serious injury is not an ordinary broken muscle or broken bone.
Instead, the projectile stays directly inside the human body - this is similar to the situation when the arrow shaft breaks directly after being hit by an arrow, and the arrowhead falls into the flesh!
The arrow is broken into the human body. This is a serious situation, which is very familiar to Li Jing - but this kind of killing is not actually a military exploit, because it is often either a coincidence, or the enemy himself is an inexperienced fool.
, only in situations like this, the arrow will break inside the human body.
In other words, this kind of killing effect requires luck and is not something that can be actively controlled.
But the projectiles of this musket.
If the projectile stays in the human body, it is the same as if the arrowhead is broken. As long as one of the upper limbs is broken, half of the person's body will be disabled. And if it hits the torso, no matter how brave the person is usually, it will be the same when the time comes.
He immediately fell dead.
This killing efficiency has to be said to be questionable in the face of an array-based artifact like the Divine Arm Bow. However, if it is in the situation of chasing and breaking off, it is completely different, because whether it is chasing or breaking off, it requires extremely high
Psychological quality!
This is different from a formation battle. A frontal military collision may seem like a terrifying scene, but in fact you are surrounded by brothers. The degree of terror is actually not that exaggerated. But when pursuing and breaking off the rear, it is basically the same.
Teammates turn around and disappear at any time - either they rush ahead or fail to follow, or they run away, or they pretend to fall behind.
At this time, it is really all about maintaining the battle formation based on psychological quality.
And at this time, if it was a normal situation, it would probably not be a problem for the Romans. They were all elite soldiers in the world. There might be situations that they couldn't handle, but there were definitely no situations that they couldn't handle at all.
Pursuing and breaking off the rear are two actions that often appear in movies, but are extremely difficult to complete in reality. If the cohesion of the army is not enough, it will be impossible to organize such actions, such as returning home regiments.
However, even if it is possible to pursue and break off the rear, it is often done reluctantly.
If there is strong fire damage at this time, and the companions around you keep falling down at a much faster speed than usual, this will be extraordinary. I am already in a completely tense mental state and it is difficult to calm down, and I encounter such a dangerous situation.
Situation - At this time, as long as this person is just a human being and not a superman, he will definitely be unable to withstand the rhythm!
Although there are many different degrees and levels of "can't stand it".
On the battlefield, there is no need for the opponent to roll around on the ground and bow his head, as long as the enemy shows a certain degree of hesitation and panic, or even as long as the opponent looks at each other to confirm, for the Imperial Army of the Tang Dynasty.
It’s enough to come and go with ease!
In this way, the situation becomes that the forbidden army of China has often faced barbarian invasions in the past, which may happen at any time, and it will really lead to the collapse of the land of China. If it is a big war, the army of China fights in formation, and it is often still possible.
Can resist, but the same,
The barbarian cavalry troops carried out sudden attacks in the grass valleys, moving east and west to take advantage of them. In this situation, China had no good solution. In the end, today, this solution has become nothing more than reciprocity.
Construction - you build a cavalry unit and I will build a cavalry unit. We are all on the same page, so I am not afraid that you will have any special abilities.
Of course, because it is a peer-to-peer construction with basically the same military style, there will naturally be back and forth in the game. The Hu army can still go south to plunder from time to time, but China is not suitable for this situation.
There is basically no way to think about it. Of course, what happens next is another matter.
Li Jing couldn't help laughing when he realized that the army of the Tang Dynasty could plunder Rome just like barbarians plundering grass and valleys!
