The Rise of the European Emperor

Hearing Marin's arrogant words, the bear boy Zhengde was also stunned. But soon, Emperor Zhengde reacted and persuaded:

"Ma Aiqing, calm down!"

Ordinarily, if a person from the Ming Dynasty said that, Zhengde, who is a bear boy, would probably agree, and would shout loudly that it is so lively. But Marin's identity is different. Marin is the lord of the foreign domain. If Marin had an accident in Daming, which foreign lord would dare to come to Daming to pay tribute in the future? Life is in danger... Although it seems that Marin killed himself, others don't know...

Therefore, even with the attributes of a brat, Zhengde is not a fool, knowing that this is no joke. Therefore, he tried his best to persuade Marin to give up this seemingly deadly idea.

But how could Marin listen to persuasion? He originally came to show off the strong protective ability of European plate armor, so naturally he would not easily give up this opportunity to compare.

In the end, the two sides reached a compromise - Zhengde found a tall sergeant from the Jinwu Guard of the Forbidden Army who was about the same size as Marin, put on Marin's plate armor, and stood in the distance to let the archers of the Forbidden Army shoot... So, Marin There is no need to "take risks", and at the same time you can test the protective ability of the plate armor that Marin boasted...

"Release—" Following the order of the archer squad leader, several imperial archers let go one after another, and several feathered arrows flew towards the shivering body of the imperial guard wearing Marlin plate armor...

"Ah—" When the feathered arrow hit him, the man in plate armor felt that his life was over, and fell to the ground in fright, screaming, and fainted gloriously...

Marin's head was covered with black lines all of a sudden—this shit, this kind of ordinary light feather arrow, it's just scratching the itch when it's shot on the plate armor... It's really useless...

But how did Marin know, because Daming's armor couldn't defend against bows and arrows at all, and at most it could reduce the fatality rate. And the guy who was chosen to wear plate armor is also a second-generation army who is ignorant and incompetent. Thanks to the hereditary system of military households in the Ming Dynasty and his good appearance, he got mixed into the Jinwu Guard of the Imperial Army. How can he bear this? stimulation? So gloriously frightened out...

But after the examination by the imperial doctor, there is nothing wrong with this buddy...

Zhengde's face turned livid immediately—Nimma, this is too embarrassing for Daming...

"Send this product to Xuanfu Town to serve as a frontier army. If you don't practice your courage, you are not allowed to return to the capital! Ma De, I'm really ashamed!" Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but swear.

If this guy is like this in front of ordinary ministers, Zhengde will not be popular. But Marin is a Fanyi. Wasn't it embarrassing for the court to faint from fright in front of him? Therefore, this buddy who was doing well in Jinwuwei was directly assigned to Xuanfu Town, one of the nine border towns in the late Ming Dynasty, as a frontier soldier. If this guy is time-traveled again, maybe he can write a new novel called "A Little Soldier in the Frontier Army of Ming Dynasty"...

After testing, ordinary step bows cannot hurt people wearing full-body plate armor. Even, this kind of full-body plate armor even protects the third leg. The only flaw is probably that there is a gap in the eye part of the helmet. But as long as the person wearing the plate armor is not a statue, and pay attention to avoiding arrows through the eyes, then there is no problem.

Zhengde didn't give up, and wanted to change into a strong bow and crossbow, but Marin immediately stopped him.

Just kidding, strong bows and crossbows have great kinetic energy. Even if the shot cannot penetrate the plate armor, it can still injure or stun the person wearing the plate armor. People wearing plate armor are Jinwu Guards, not criminals, so there is no need to punish them like this.

Moreover, Marin also explained to Zhengde that this plate armor is used to deal with the Mongolian cavalry's cavalry and shooting, and there is no need for a strong crossbow to test it. You know, the Mongolian cavalry's riding bow is not as powerful as the infantry bow.

Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart. At least, he has read a lot of military books, and he is not a novice in military affairs. In the original history, he personally commanded the army to fight and won. Hearing Marin's explanation, he also reacted:

"Ma Aiqing means that this is prepared to fight against the Mongolian cavalry?"

Marin nodded and said:

"Of course, this is to help Daming fight against the Mongolian cavalry."

at the moment,

The biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty is the Mongolian tribes on the Saibei grassland.

The Mongolian cavalry came and went like the wind, and the scale was huge. There were few cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, and they were not good at riding and shooting. Fighting against the Mongolian cavalry, even if the Mongolian cavalry cannot beat them, they can escape calmly. Moreover, if the cavalrymen of the Ming Dynasty dared to chase them, they could easily be shot in the face by the Mongolian cavalrymen who were proficient in cavalry and archery...

The protective power of the Ming army's armor is not as abnormal as that of the plate armor. Even when facing the horse bow, the protective power is not very good. Therefore, facing the invading Mongolian cavalry, they can only defend passively. Even if the Mongolian cavalry were repelled, they did not dare to chase them out. Because, afraid of being shot in the face by the other party...

And if they are not afraid of the rogue-like cavalry tactics of the Mongolian cavalry, then the Ming Dynasty cavalry can rest assured to pursue the repelled Mongolian cavalry.

Of course, things are not that simple. First, Zhengde, who understands military affairs, raised a question:

"Ma Aiqing, your full-body plate armor probably weighs tens of catties. Ordinary war horses can't carry it at all. Even if they can carry it, they can't run fast. They can't catch up with Mongolian Qingqi at all!"

"Also, even if people are not afraid of bows and arrows, what about war horses?"

Marin had already dealt with it in his heart, and said calmly:

"Your Majesty, didn't I bring 100 war horses here? The tall European horses are specially used to carry knights wearing full plate armor."

"As for the issue of war horses being afraid of bows and arrows, we also have a countermeasure, which is to put armor on the horses!"

Later, Marin asked someone to bring a war horse in horse armor...

When Zhengde saw it, he suddenly realized:

"So that's how it is...but with such heavy clothes, you can't catch up with the opponent's cavalry!"

"Why did you catch up with the opponent's cavalry?" Marin asked suddenly.

"If you don't catch up, how can you annihilate the enemy?" Emperor Zhengde asked doubtfully.

"Your Majesty, of course, the heavy cavalry alone cannot defeat the Mongolian cavalry. Moreover, this kind of heavy cavalry, in itself, is not designed to annihilate the Mongolian light cavalry by itself." Marin explained.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Zhengde was only 18 years old, and he still didn't know much about military affairs.

"Heavy armored cavalry has high requirements for knights and horses. Because wearing such heavy plate armor to fight, or charging with such a heavy load, requires very high physical strength for knights and horses. Such people, in the The army is also one in a hundred, does your majesty think so?"

"Of course! Daming has very few war horses that can carry heavy cavalry and horse armor. I'm afraid I can only count on you to provide them!"

"So, the scale of the heavy cavalry cannot be very large. Since the scale is not large, it is difficult to fight alone as an army, and must cooperate with other arms to fight. For example, they must have a lot of light cavalry for cover!"

"Then how to use this kind of heavy cavalry?" Emperor Zhengde asked humbly.

"Retreat the enemy head-on and hit the opponent's morale!" Marin said firmly.

"Hit the opponent's morale?"

"Yes, ancient wars... No, it was a battle on the battlefield. Morale is very important. Heavy armored cavalry is not afraid of Mongolian cavalry cavalry. Therefore, at the beginning, heavy armored cavalry can be the first to charge and drive the Mongolian cavalry back... "

"and then?"

"The opponent was repelled as soon as he came up, and his morale must have been affected. Taking advantage of his morale drop, we can send light cavalry from the left and right flanks to outflank the enemy, while the heavy cavalry will take the opportunity to rest on the spot..." Marin said Also use the branches to make gestures on the ground.

"What if it doesn't work?" Zhengde asked thoughtfully.

"Then go back!" Marin said easily.

"But once you retreat, you will be covered up by the enemy cavalry!"

"It doesn't matter. At that time, the heavy armored cavalry who had stopped to rest had almost recovered. At this time, let the heavy armored cavalry go up and fight the opponent back... In short, as long as the heavy armored cavalry is ready to fight, the opponent will not be easy to wipe out. Our army..."

"Moreover, we can divide the heavy cavalry into two parts. One part is used for the charge at the beginning, and the other part is used as a reserve soldier to prevent the enemy cavalry from taking advantage of the situation after the front army is defeated. As long as the opponent dares to chase, they will slam back hard. In this way, the two parts of the heavy cavalry rest and fight alternately, which can make our army invincible!"

Zhengde fell into deep thought...
