I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

"How is your practice now?"

Wu Changqing asked.

The training of wall cavalry is not easy, and it requires soldiers to have great courage.

Because when charging, it is very easy to collide with the enemy. The cavalry in the front has a very low survival rate.

This requires the soldiers in the front to be very courageous. When the timid people collide, they may escape from the battle, destroy the formation, and cause terrible effects.

In fact, the tactics of wall cavalry and line infantry are somewhat similar, and they both emphasize discipline and do not pay attention to personal bravery. Then, smash the enemy with the way of consumption.

This seemingly silly tactic is often a very powerful tactic.

At least, the current Wu army's line infantry is invincible in the world. Outsiders only see the advantages of their weapons, but they don't know that the courage and discipline of this army are also extremely terrifying.

In the face of thousands of horses rushing towards them, the army can calmly shoot and shoot, can it be an ordinary army?

This kind of army, even if the flintlock guns are thrown away and the spears are taken up, is by no means an army that the same number of enemy troops can defeat.

It can be said that the current Wu army already has some shadows of the modern army.

"Please inspect the general."

Dong Tianbao arranged for a group of people to conduct charge drills.

As the whistle sounded, the cavalry of a thousand-man regiment was divided into five columns, each with more than two hundred people. And the length of each column is only less than two hundred meters long.

The cavalry was very close to each other.

As the charging whistle sounded, thousands of people started to start, first slowly increasing the speed, always mentioning a suitable speed, and then rushing forward.

During the whole charging process, what the soldiers need to pay attention to is to control the horse and the others to keep the same pace, neither fast nor slow.

This is easy to say, but it is actually very difficult to do.

Let the soldiers of the Qing army line up to take a straight step, and it is difficult for them to maintain a neat formation. And Wu Jun still has to keep the horses in order, the difficulty can be imagined.

However, these cavalrymen have been training all day long, and with practice makes perfect, they can already control the horses very well.

At least, Wu Changqing can see in the telescope, the formation of this group is relatively neat, like a straight line.

After crossing a certain distance, what appeared in front of the Wu Jun cavalry were fake horses and fake cavalry made of straw.

All they have to do is dash over those scarecrows and stay in formation in the process.

The effect of this kind of training, to be honest, is relatively general. After all, everyone knows that there is not much danger in hitting the straw dummy,

But if you collide with the Qing army cavalry, you will lose your life at any time.

But this is a relatively good training method that Wu Jun can think of. They will not arrange for two troops to hedge, so they don't know how many people will die during the training.

After all, cavalry and infantry are still different. Horses are not easy to control, and they are easy to be trampled to death when they fall to the ground.

Wu Changqing watched them rush through the straw forest, and the formation was still neat, and he was quite satisfied.

To be able to do this is enough to fight the Qing army.

They don't need to be perfect, they just need to be stronger than the Qing army.

"Yes, keep it up. I have sent a batch of armor, which can be used on the vanguard to increase life-saving ability and impact."

Wu Changqing brought 2,000 pairs of heavy armor. This kind of heavy armor can more or less play a role in protecting the charge cavalry.

With Nanjing's current industrial capacity, they can actually build more armor, but it's not necessary because they don't have that many thoroughbreds.

These armors weigh 10 to 20 pounds, which is a huge burden for horses, and not just any horse can use them.

Most of the horses in the Wu army were Mongolian horses captured by the Qing army.

This kind of horse is about 1.4 meters high, its endurance is actually very general, and its explosive power is acceptable. It is not suitable for heavy cavalry mounts.

The Kazakh horses that can do heavy cavalry are a kind of sweaty horses, which are relatively rare and precious.

These war horses were basically captured, and the Southwest horses purchased were only about one meter tall, a head shorter than the Mongolian horses. It can only be used to carry military supplies, and it can't be used as a war horse. Its explosive power is too poor, and its size is too small.

After inspecting the cavalry, Wu Changqing went to inspect the infantry battalion again.

In the artillery battalion, he watched the coordinated drill of the infantry artillery made by his subordinates.

The so-called coordination of infantry and artillery means that while the artillery is still firing, the infantry begins to advance.

I didn't dare to do this before, because the requirements for artillery are very high, and they have to be more accurate. If you can't hit it right, it will hurt your morale if you hit your own people.

Therefore, in the past, the artillery bombarded first, and the infantrymen went on after the bombing.

And now, with the improvement of artillery technology, they have developed the tactics of infantry and artillery coordination.

This tactic allows their infantry to create more damage and pressure on the enemy as they approach the enemy, and can cover their advance.

Its role is definitely incomparable with the infantry artillery synergy of later generations, but it is better than nothing. This tactic can still allow them to take a little advantage when fighting against the enemy.

In addition to the coordination of the infantry artillery, there is a new type of weapon among the infantry, the light artillery.

This was made by the people from the Weapons Workshop, and Wu Changqing did not give any advice.

With the improvement of technology, the weapon workshop is now also

With relatively strong research and development capabilities. They will develop some weapons according to the needs of the military.

The current artillery is very bulky, and some generals of the Wu army have long wanted a light artillery.

This kind of light artillery is very simple in structure, relatively small in power and short in range.

However, it has a very powerful advantage, that is, it is very light, two soldiers can push it, and a skilled soldier can carry out the operation of firing.

This lightness makes it highly maneuverable and can be pushed forward at any time as the infantry advances, providing fire support.

The function of this is somewhat like the class mortar of later generations, but it is completely different from the mortar, and the technical content is much lower than that of the mortar.

This light gun is actually more like a large gun.

With this kind of weapon, their firepower on the battlefield is stronger, and the combat power is also a kind of improvement.

Seeing such powerful firepower on his side, Wu Changqing was completely relieved.

This kind of firepower, let alone the Qing army can't bear it, no country can bear it at present.

Although flintlock guns have begun to popularize in Western Europe, their firepower is definitely not comparable to Wu Jun. Because they are few.

In those small countries in Western Europe, a battle of tens of thousands of people can be regarded as a decisive battle.

Hundreds of thousands of battles are common only in China.
