The Rise of the European Emperor

? After several three-shot artillery battles were blown up, soon, on the southeast plain, smoke and dust rose, and there was a dull sound of horse hooves, shaking the ground - Cossack cavalry and black-shirted knights arrived first...

The reinforcements that came this time were mainly 10,000 people from the Third Army Corps and 5,000 people from the Cossack Cavalry Regiment. However, of the 10,000 soldiers of the Third Legion, 2,000 were black knights with muskets.

In order to arrive at the battlefield as soon as possible, Steindorf, the commander-in-chief of the reinforcements, simply let 2,000 black-shirted knights follow the action of 5,000 Cossack cavalry and rushed to the battlefield first. The 8,000 infantry at the back accelerated their march in the back.

But the cavalry's marching speed was obviously faster than that of the infantry, so 5,000 Cossacks and 2,000 black knights arrived at the battlefield first. How huge is the momentum of the 7000 cavalry? What's more, each cavalryman is one man and two horses.

The movement of the 14,000 horses running together, even the soldiers of the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms princes who were in front were alarmed, showing a confused expression.

Marin saw the confused expression of the enemy through the telescope, and immediately felt that he was obliged to give them a wave of popular science. So he took the lead and shouted:

"Reinforcements are here! We're sure to win!"

At this time, the veterans of the First Army and Second Army around him did not need to remind him at all, but shouted in unison:

"Reinforcements are here! We're sure to win!"

"Reinforcements are here! We're sure to win!"

"Reinforcements are here! We're sure to win!"

...

The tidy shouts like a tsunami of mountains and tsunamis surprised the soldiers in the front row of the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms who were trying to organize the second wave of attack - what's going on? Then, a lot of people turned their heads and tiptoed to look back...

Then, the soldiers of the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms and Princes saw the dust and fog rising from the rear of the battle, and there was a very dense sound of horses' hoofs...

And the seven thousand Beihai Kingdom cavalry who supported the battlefield did not directly charge. Instead, it stopped at a distance, and then a group of Cossack cavalrymen jumped skillfully from one horse to the other. After all, the horse they used to travel before was so exhausted that it was not suitable for continuing to charge.

Afterwards, the Cossack cavalry separated a small number of people and rushed to the side of the transferred horses together...

As for the black knight,

The same operation is also being carried out. However, after changing the horses, the black-shirted knights also loaded the 5 muskets they carried...

...

Marin saw this through the telescope. Then, he frowned - this cavalry commander is unusable...

They are all close to the enemy's lineup, but they are slowly changing horses and loading ammunition, which is simply delaying the fighter!

Originally, Marin also planned to cooperate with the cavalry to charge together, attacking from front and back. And the cavalry attacking from the rear should rush to the enemy's side as soon as they arrive, causing the enemy to panic. Then, he just had the first army and the second army charge together, attacking from both sides, and solving the opponent at one time.

However, his cavalry actually stopped in front of the enemy...

Marin wanted to curse at this moment! He arranged for the Cossack cavalry and the black-shirted knight to come from the side and back, just to surprise the opponent and cause the opponent to panic. The result was good. The officers who led the team actually stopped in front of the battle to change their horses and load the ammunition... Shouldn't these tasks be done from a distance? I have to do it under the eyes of the enemy...

You must know that the role of cavalry is not only impact and maneuverability. In the age of cold weapons, the psychological oppression of cavalry to the enemy is absolutely no worse than its combat effectiveness.

Why did the Ming army always lose battles in the northern grasslands? It's not that they can't beat it at all, it's that they are afraid of being beaten. Seeing a large group of cavalry rushing over, their first reaction was not to fight, but to run away...

And why does the wild boar Pinurhaci always boast that "the Jurchen is no more than 10,000, and if it exceeds 10,000, it is invincible"? This is actually a kind of psychological warfare, a kind of psychological suggestion.

Obviously, Nurhaci knew in his heart that with Houjin's belongings, he really wanted to fight the Ming army desperately, and it was wiped out in a few battles. Therefore, he had to scare the Ming army so that the Ming army would run away when they saw them. In this way, the casualties of the Houjin army will not be so great. Therefore, he desperately preached that "the Jurchen is no more than 10,000, and if it exceeds 10,000, it is invincible."

But in fact, Jianzhou Jurchen has nothing to do with the Jurchen in history. The real Jurchen has long since entered North China when the Jin Dynasty was established. When the Mongols went south, they began to kill in the north. Because of the hatred of the Jin Dynasty, at the beginning of the establishment of the Mongolian Empire, the main body of the Jurchen was basically killed. Later, the so-called Jianzhou Jurchen were actually all Northeast Asian savages who occupied the hometown of Jurchen and were misunderstood as Jurchen by the Ming Dynasty.

But Nurhaci was very smart. He realized that the Jurchen brand was very useful. Then, they pretended to be the Jurchen, and trumpeted that "the Jurchen is no more than 10,000, and if it exceeds 10,000, it is invincible." At the same time, his own population was not enough, so he sent people to arrest the "born Jurchen" (actually savages) in the white mountains and black waters of the northeast, and replenished his troops. Therefore, the Manchu ancestors of later generations are actually the descendants of the hodgepodge of Northeast Asian savages. And the real Jurchen, many descendants are actually living in the Central Plains. When Mongolia slaughtered the remnants of the Jin Dynasty, many people changed their surnames to Han to avoid disaster.

But Nurhaci's set is very effective. This kind of psychological warfare really scared the Ming Dynasty frontier troops so much that they did not dare to go out of the city to fight. But this set has little practical effect. After all, Nurhaci's men are only 60,000 strong, and they can only be kings and hegemons in that corner of the Northeast. It was Huang Taiji who really made the Manchu rise. He conquered Mongolia and got hundreds of thousands of thugs before he really had the strength to enter the customs. In addition, Huang Taiji incorporated the Han people into the Han Eight Banners to further expand his strength. Later, Wu Sangui brought 50,000 Guanning troops to join him. Otherwise, but with tens of thousands of standard soldiers trying to control the Central Plains, they must be beaten to fly.

But no matter what, the cavalry should be an extraordinary soldier, and should be quick and accurate. If there is a chance, you should take advantage of the chaos to cover up, instead of changing horses and reloading bullets in front of the enemy's eyes as it is now...

However, this practice of staying in front of the enemy line to prepare, and then launching a charge is very popular in Europe. Plate armor knights, in particular, must put on their armor and change horses in front of the enemy. Otherwise, the war horse can't bear it. However, Marin believes that this approach completely loses the "oddness" of the cavalry, and turns into a foolish frontal...

Sure enough, as expected by Marin, after the initial panic, seeing the 7,000 incoming hostile cavalry actually stop in front of the formation, the soldiers of the Eight Kingdoms Allied Forces stabilized their mentality and no longer panicked as they did at the beginning.

Marin let out a long sigh, knowing that he had lost his best fighter. Now, he can only wait for the cavalry to fight a good battle first...

...

After the initial panic, the eight princes also calmed down. After seeing the 5,000 Cossack cavalry in the front row, Charles, Earl of Geldon breathed a sigh of relief:

"The opponent seems to be all hussars (melee scimitar cavalry, a type of light cavalry), we send knights to fight, and we will be able to repel them!"

"Okay, let's do it!" The two Duke Henrys agreed.

Several princes were no strangers to the hussars. Because, next to Germany, Hungary is the kingdom of hussars. Twenty years ago, King Matthias I of Hungary, with a large number of Hungarian hussars, beat the Austrian Habsburg family to the ground and occupied Vienna.

However, the years of war between the Germans and the Hungarians for hegemony also made the Germans realize that the hussars could not beat the knights in frontal combat. Of course, if the disparity in numbers is too large, dozens of knights will have to face hundreds of hussars. However, if the difference in numbers is not large, the knight with the highest protection will definitely win.

As a result, the eight princes sent their plate knights to the rear to face the hussars (Cossacks) on the opposite side...

...

As for Marin, he shook his head and continued to watch the battle with his binoculars. Because he had already missed the opportunity, he could only attack after his cavalry had beaten the knights of the Eight Kingdoms Allied Forces.

But he had already made up his mind in his heart - after this war, it was time to replace that rigid-brained idiot in Arthas...
