The Rise of the European Emperor

? Although the Cossack cavalry carried spears, these spears were not the main weapon of the Cossack cavalry. The role of these spears is mainly to take advantage of their length and take advantage of their opponents in the first round of charges.

When they hedge against each other, an inch is longer and an inch is stronger. A Cossack with a spear will obviously have an advantage over an opponent with a saber - I can stab you, but your knife can't cut me...

However, the light cavalry's charging speed is very fast, which brings some problems, mainly two - one is that when charging at high speed, the reaction force of the impact is quite large. Holding a spear, if it hits the cavalry on the opposite side, the reaction force is also amazing. If you're not careful, you can be dislocated. The second is that once the spear is plunged into the enemy's body, because it is rushing forward at high speed, there is no chance to pull it out and continue to use it.

Therefore, the spears of the Cossack cavalry are often disposable items during combat. When the spear pierced the enemy's body, the Cossack cavalry often let go immediately, so as not to dislocate their arms. After letting go, they would immediately draw out their sabres and start the slashing mode—this is what the Cossacks are best at...

To say that it is cheap is not true at all. When Brunswick-Lüneburg Principality Palace Guard Huss rushed forward with more than 4,000 miscellaneous hussars, he found that what greeted them was not the group of wretched musketeers who had been eyeing before, but the knights who had faced them before. The group of hussars who retreated...

But Huss was not afraid, because, in his opinion, the group of cavalry without armor in front of him was obviously not a regular cavalry, and was no better than the light cavalry on his side. The only trouble is that the opponent is not holding a saber, but a spear...

Huss felt a little scolded in his heart, and wanted to say that his opponent fouled. But at this time, he didn't have time to care about those. After all, his cavalry had already pulled up the speed at this time. To use an advertising slogan of later generations, it means that it can't stop at all...

Yes, can't stop at all! This is not a joke, but really can't stop.

A cavalry group charge and an individual galloping horse are two different things. When an individual is galloping, if he wants to stop, he can simply rein in his horse. But when the cavalry charges, you can't just stop the horse and brake. Because, if the person in front "brakes" at will, the comrades who are charging behind will not be able to stop and collide with the person in front.

Therefore, once the cavalry group rushes up, there is no way to stop, and it does not dare to stop. Otherwise, you will definitely be hit by someone behind you. Then, he fell off the horse and was trampled to death by his comrades' hooves...

Therefore, although Huss was very afraid of the enemy's use of spears, he couldn't say anything at this time, he could only lead his cavalry to ram forward at a high speed...

...

"Ouch-"

On the other side of Huss,

The Cossack cavalry, who had begun to speed up, were so excited that they began to howl like huskies. For most authentic Cossacks, fighting on horseback is undoubtedly a very testament to their worth. Moreover, they had nothing to worry about - Marin promised that any Cossacks who died in battle would receive preferential treatment from the state for their descendants. Even if they are injured and disabled, they will be raised by Beihai for a lifetime.

In Schleswig Province, these Cossacks have visited the "Glorious Manor", which was specially used by Malin to house disabled veterans. There are many disabled soldiers living in the manor. They only need to do some simple work within their ability. However, the pay is about the same as those of the robust workforce. Even, there is priority in the distribution of materials. For disabled veterans who have lost the ability to work, Rongyang Manor even arranges special personnel to take care of their lives.

All this naturally made those Cossacks have no worries. So, now they just need to hack the chops on the opposite side...

...

"Ouch-"

"Hack the gang and smash them!"

After the two armies approached, the Ukrainian Cossacks showed fierce and bloodthirsty expressions on their faces. And the hussars of the Allied Forces of Eight Kingdoms and Princes who were charging were a little nervous.

Now the distance between the two sides is only twenty or thirty meters, and they can already see the expressions of their opponents. For most of the coalition hussars who are not professional cavalry, it seems that the cavalry on the opposite side is a bit fierce...

Then, they saw even more fierce...

When the cavalry of the two sides came into direct contact, the Cossacks who were wielding spears suddenly threw the spears in their hands at a distance of 10 meters from the opponent, and stabbed the enemy in the front row fiercely. the warhorse...

The reason why they threw the enemy's horses was because they were afraid that after throwing the enemy's cavalry, the opponent would dodge the spear. After all, people are very flexible. The better you are at riding, the more flexible you are on horseback.

However, their war horses could not be so flexible. In the face of the spears stabbing at high speed, the group of coalition hussars who rushed in front were too late to avoid them, and their horses were hit by spears...

"Yu—" The war horses that were stabbed by the spear let out bursts of grief and fell to the ground one after another. At the same time, the coalition cavalry on horseback slammed out.

Then, these unfortunate people who were thrown off their horses were either trampled to death by enemy war horses or trampled by friendly war horses. For a time, the front of the battle was filled with the screams of war horses and the wailing of people after being stepped on...

...

The unfortunate thing is that the coalition cavalry ranks at the top, according to the habits of this era, are the best veterans. As for the recruits, they are all in the back.

Therefore, in this first round of confrontation, the coalition cavalry suddenly lost hundreds of the most skilled veterans...

As for the Cossack cavalry, after throwing out the spears in their hands, they quickly pulled out their sabres, and slashed the sabres sideways in front of them, and started slashing with their opponents...

At the moment when the front row cavalry on both sides passed by, the Cossack cavalry of Beihai Kingdom turned their waists to dodge their opponent's saber. At the same time, swipe the saber in his hand to the enemy's body at a suitable angle...

Since everyone was hussars without armor, it didn't matter whether they cut their necks or not. As long as the saber smears the enemy's body, even if the saber does not cut the edge, it can cut through the opponent's body under high-speed hedging...

Sure enough, after being smeared by the steel 65 cavalry knives, many of the unfortunate people had no time to scream, and a large gap was cut in their bodies. Then, after rushing out a long way, it started to spurt blood...

Some Cossacks with good skills, even in the process of dodging, can easily smear the saber on the neck of the enemy, and take their good heads to the sky...

...

On the coalition side, because it was a motley army, most of them were average in fighting and martial arts. If you miss it, you will not be able to hit the enemy smoothly.

Only the most elite captain-level hussars can successfully smash the opponent. However, even if it is hit, it may not work. Because, the opponent will block their saber...

Even when the two sides passed by by mistake, the two knives struck each other, resulting in the result that the coalition hussars were stunned-the coalition hussar's saber was cut off...

The sabers used by the Cossacks were all carefully developed by Marin. In order to maintain the toughness of the blade and avoid being cut off, the Cossacks' sabres are mainly made of carbon spring steel (medium carbon steel) with manganese added. The blade was tempered with whale oil and horse urine.

Subsequently, the surface carburizing treatment was carried out by applying the method of wrapping the bean paste and saltpeter in ancient China and heating it in a metal container for several hours. In this way, you get an excellent saber with a hard appearance but a very flexible blade.

In fact, after applying saltpeter, it is no longer simple carburizing, but a very high carbonitriding technology.

Originally, Marin used the carburizing method heated with bean paste. But after a trip to Daming, he learned how to smear saltpeter on the knife. Saltpeter itself contains nitrogen, so after adding saltpeter, it is not simple carburizing, but achieves the effect of carbonitriding. In this way, the performance of the blade surface has been greatly improved.

After returning, Malin specially sent craftsmen to Jutland to re-carburize 5,000 Cossack sabres, using the high-end technology of carbonitriding, which enhanced the performance of the steel knives in the hands of the Cossack cavalry. .

And the swords of the alliance of the eight kingdoms are really iron swords. No matter how hard it is, an iron knife is an iron knife. In the face of the high-quality steel knives of the Cossacks of the North Sea, they were naturally vulnerable and were cut off one after another...

When one came face to face, the veterans in the front row of the coalition hussars were either hacked to death or their sabres were cut off, which was extremely miserable...

And what happened after losing the saber? Those veteran hussars of the coalition army who had broken their sabres were like tigers without teeth, their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and then they were rudely hacked to death by the Cossack cavalry rushing up from behind...

And after defeating the coalition hussar veterans in the front row, the coalition recruits or the recruited amateur cavalry at the back are even less opponents...

Although some masters slashed and killed some Cossack cavalry, on the whole, because of the huge differences in personal horsemanship and weapons, the Cossack cavalry took only three round trips to temporarily piece together more than 4,000 sent by the Allied Forces of the Eight Kingdoms. The hussars were routed, with very few casualties themselves...

Seeing that they couldn't beat their opponents, the surviving cavalry soldiers who were temporarily assembled by the princes of the Eight Kingdoms immediately turned their horses around and started to escape. And the Cossack cavalry did not hesitate to catch up and continue to hack...
