Chapter 1736 Heavy cavalry drills!

Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading! Don't forget to spread the word.

This batch of new armors created by the Qiquge Workshop for the Xuanjia Army is made by Li Zexuan imitating the Gothic armor of the fifteenth century. As a masterpiece of medieval plate armor, although the Gothic armor covers the whole body, it does not The weight is only 25 kilograms, and steel sheets are no longer used in the joints and shoulder armor, which makes the limbs have more room for movement. In the era of cold weapons, the defensive power of Gothic armor is simply invincible!

When it comes to armor, we must mention the heavy cavalry in Europe at that time, because both Milanese armor and Gothic armor were tailored for heavy cavalry.

Medieval knights, basically heavy cavalry, were always trying to put themselves in thicker, heavier armor. A complete set of medieval knight armor, which can protect the knight from teeth to toes, as if the whole person is packed in a tin bucket, or packaged in a specially designed can - this is the real "armed" to the teeth".

Therefore, even if the knights are not always caught in the rain of swords, they are not necessarily dangerous. This armor can be said to be airtight on defense, and I really stand still despite the wind and rain outside. For knights, the real danger often does not come from direct confrontation with knights, such as a rain of arrows shot by the opposing archers, or the spear formation of infantry. It is often difficult for the bows fired by the archers to penetrate the armor of the knights, and even if they do, they are only scratched at the most.

Once during the Crusades, the British knights were attacked by the Arabs. The Arabs used bows and arrows to shoot from a distance, but the only defense made by the British knights was to raise their shields and maintain a dense formation. . The spears used by the infantry are generally made of wood, and the knights can easily break these cheap spears with their impact.

In fact, as long as they can stay on the horse, the heavy cavalry in heavy armor cannot be defeated from the front. They are like an "armored tank" on the battlefield. !

This is why Li Zexuan chose to build a new type of plate armor for the Xuanjia Army, because the Xuanjia Army was the most elite heavy cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. The A Army quickly adapts to the new equipment and forms combat power, and then it will be basically invincible!

At that time, on the frontal battlefield, the Turkic wolf cavalry will definitely not be the opponent of the Xuanjia army. Unless the five thousand Xuanjia army is completely exhausted or loses the supply of food and grass, otherwise these five thousand heavy armored cavalry are absolutely invincible in this era!

But then again, it doesn't mean that you are absolutely invincible as long as you put on the new armor. For a soldier, advanced equipment is just an external force. Whether you can control and make full use of this external force depends on scientific training!

Li Zexuan is now combining the training methods of the medieval heavy cavalry to write a training code for the Xuanjia Army! !

During the day, Li Zexuan watched the training of the Xuanjia Army all day seriously. He also had a general understanding of the training methods of the Xuanjia Army. Equestrian training! Li Zexuan felt that this was not enough. He wanted to improve the training method of the Xuanjia Army!
