Chapter 1178 Cavalry Team Tactic Trend

"Boy, how many enemies have you killed?"

After the war, a hundred deaths survived.The appearance of Zuo Menggeng made the cavalry division erupt with joy.

On the hospital bed, the soldier flushed with excitement.

"Report Your Highness, I'm not good at martial arts, I only killed one enemy. If it wasn't for the arm armor blocking me, my whole arm would be gone."

Zuo Menggeng laughed loudly, and said in relief: "It's quite remarkable to behead an enemy. Your opponent is the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. You must know that the Jurchens are less than ten thousand, and they are invincible. The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty have swept the world over the years. But I have never met any opponents. If you can kill an Eight Banners cavalryman, you are the most extraordinary hero."

His words made the soldier feel warm all over, and raised his head proudly again.

Looking at these lovely warriors, Zuo Menggeng was very proud of their bravery.

"If you hadn't discovered the enemy's situation in time, and bit the enemy tightly, I don't know how many people would have their families destroyed and died. Soldiers' duty, defending the country, you have done the best. On behalf of the command, I express my heartfelt heart Thanks."

Faced with Zuo Menggeng's salute, all the soldiers of the cavalry division burst into tears.

To be able to receive such courtesy makes them satisfied, even if they die in battle, it is worth it.

"It's just a small injury. It's worth your fuss? If people see it, they think I'm too delicate."

To say that the whole cavalry division is most dissatisfied with Zuo Menggeng's arrival, it must be Wang Siyi.

She was only hit by a few arrows, but Zuo Menggeng came rushing over, treating her like a child.

"It hurts on your body, but it hurts on my heart. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I won't even be able to sleep well."

Damn love story.

Wang Siyi is a straight girl of steel, when did she taste this?

Immediately, his whole body was terrified, and his hands and feet curled up into a ball.

"If you dare to say such strange words again, I will cut you off!"

Looking at this Huniu, Zuo Menggeng grinned wryly.

Why is the gap between people so big?
In the same way, if you talk to Xu Ruolin, it is guaranteed that the touched person will be ecstatic.In the end, when he arrived at Wang Siyi's place, he was almost beaten.

But seeing that Wang Siyi was indeed slightly injured, Zuo Menggeng was finally relieved.

After private affairs, there are public affairs.

Generals above the cavalry division and regiment level got together and began to conduct a post-war summary.

"There are serious problems with our organization and style of play."

As soon as she returned to her job, Wang Siyi immediately became extremely shrewd and wise.

When Zuo Menggeng looked over, she expressed her feelings.

"Now our cavalry division is a bit different. Although we can launch a group charge, we don't have enough fixed coordination, and the arms are too single. The group charge is obviously a matter of heavy cavalry, but our style of play is like light cavalry. Another one, the heavy cavalry charges in groups, and the two wings need light cavalry to cover, and we don't have the relevant configuration."

Zuo Menggeng has never actually been to the battlefield, so he doesn't know the situation of the battle.

"But you defeated the Eight Banners cavalry."

In his mind, the Manchu Eight Banners were the most powerful cavalry in the world.

Since the cavalry division can win the battle, isn't it better?
On this point, not to mention Wang Siyi, Zuo Shi has an opinion.

"The Eight Banners cavalry this time is also only light cavalry. If the heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners also appears on the battlefield, we will definitely not be able to withstand it."

Both sides are light cavalry, and they are unwilling to charge in groups.So they kept swimming and interspersing on the battlefield, and as a result, the cavalry division gained the upper hand with its better organizational ability.

However, several generals agreed after the discussion that if they encountered the heavy cavalry of the Eight Banners, the cavalry division had no choice but to escape.

These are the feelings of the parties involved, and Zuo Menggeng attaches great importance to them.

He began to recall some military works he had read.

For the application of modern cavalry, to be honest, he has no experience.

After all, even the torrent of steel in the future world is a bit outdated, and it will be a world of informatization, electronic warfare, and unmanned weapons.

For cavalry combat, many of his impressions come from film and television dramas.

But he knew that the content shown in the film and television drama did not conform to the reality of the battlefield at all.

The only thing that can provide him with reference is modern European military writings on cavalry.

For a long time to come, cavalry will still be the king on the battlefield.

The group charge of heavy cavalry is also an indispensable part of the big battle.

Note that this is a big battle.

The battle scenes where all arms are complete and cooperate with each other.

This kind of place is the place where the heavy cavalry plays.

The overwhelming charge of the heavy cavalry has an unparalleled ability to destroy. It is a sharp weapon to break through the enemy's defense line and flatten the enemy's formation.

But heavy cavalry can never be used alone.

Because the heavy cavalry is too bulky, it must be properly covered. With the infantry phalanx, the left and right wings are covered by light cavalry.In this way, heavy cavalry can be invincible.

On the contrary, if the heavy cavalry is alone, it will become the plaything of the light cavalry.

This is the relationship between the cuirassiers of the French army and the Cossacks.

Once the cuirassiers of the French army got the cooperation of the infantry phalanx, the Cossacks would not even be able to go to the battlefield.

If the cuirassiers acted alone, they would be constantly harassed, divided, and eventually collapsed by the Cossacks.

This is the problem currently encountered by cavalry divisions.

The division of arms is not clear enough, and the combat functions are too vague.

This time it was also a coincidence that they encountered the light cavalry of the Qing Dynasty, so they had a slight advantage.

But on the future battlefield, once it enters the stage of large-scale group battles, it will definitely suffer a big loss if there is no matching cavalry unit.

Wang Siyi also mentioned a noteworthy place.

"Actually, there was no need to be so hasty in this battle. If we had a musketeer cavalry and rushed to the battlefield to complete the formation and occupy the key points, the Qing army would have nothing to do. But we don't have such troops, so we have to fight The Qing army fought in close quarters."

Zuo Menggeng understood it as soon as he heard it.

Wang Siyi intends to increase the presence of dragoons among the cavalry.

Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the dragoons, in fact, the writings of later generations have already made it very clear.

The biggest advantage of the dragoons is that they can move faster than large-scale legions.

This enables one of our own forces to quickly occupy strategic points faster than the enemy, thereby gaining the initiative on the battlefield.

Because the weapons equipped with dragoons are muskets and artillery.

When fighting, they dismount from their horses and form a real infantry in formation.

As for using dragoons to fight real cavalry, it's purely lighting a lamp in a toilet-looking for shit (death).

In the book next door, Pharaoh had a sudden whim.

Why don't the dragoons rush to the opponent's cavalry, jump off their horses, fire and then get on their horses and run away.If it is repeatedly consumed, the enemy's cavalry will eventually collapse.

This is pure layman.

Among other things, the range of the musket is there, a total of about [-] meters.

The dragoons ran to the place, stopped their horses, jumped off their horses, raised their guns to shoot, and then got on their horses and ran away.

How long does it take for the horse to switch from standing to running at full speed?
I'm afraid they will be overwhelmed by the enemy's cavalry before the dragoons mount their horses again.

But no matter what, dragoons are definitely an indispensable part of future wars.

Xia Jun has to start making preparations here.
