Chapter 730： Return home

In addition to leaving 50 lancers instructors, Marin also left a quartermaster to assist in the formation of Polish wing cavalry (lancers).

The new type of wing cavalry, in addition to its good combat effectiveness, the most distinctive feature is the improvement of its logistics. Because there is no need to help the knight master to mount the horse, nor to help the knight master to keep and transport multiple lances and horse armor, each wing cavalry only needs to be equipped with one servant. Even when the personnel are nervous, a servant driving a mule car can serve two wing cavalry. Anyway, the main task of these servants is to carry the necessary materials for war horses. In addition, they will bring some spare lances to prevent the wing cavalry's spring lance from being broken or cut by the enemy.

In this way, in addition to the 5,000 wing cavalry and their equipped horses (a warhorse and a group of pack horses on the way), it is only necessary to equip each person with a servant driving a mule. Before starting the charge, the wing cavalry can also hand over the changed pack horse to the wing cavalry.

In addition, the servants of these wing cavalry also need to be trained. In Marin's army, the servants serving the cavalrymen often bring an ordinary crossbow. If someone encounters a supply team composed of servants, these servants will also use a crossbow to counter those attackers.

Even when they are parked, all mules will also form a large circle as needed. All mules face the circle, while the rear of the mule car faces outward. Such a large circular array can resist the charge of the enemy cavalry. The servants of the wing cavalry, as long as they hide behind the car and shoot crossbow arrows out of the array. Or, you can use the spare spring lance as a spear, and if you poke outward ...

This method was Marin's tactics for self-defense when the Qing hunted the Huns. When Wei Qing attacked the Huns in the north, he encountered the main cavalry led by the Huns. In order to resist the Huns cavalry, Wei Qing encircled the chariot (Wu Gang) into a ring camp, and sent 5,000 elite cavalry horses to resist the Huns cavalry, and finally defeated the Huns cavalry.

Of course, Marin's tactics are not to eliminate the enemy, but to let the supply team protect themselves. After all, the logistic forces have little combat power and can only form themselves to protect themselves. Fortunately, the mule car supply units acted with the wing cavalry. As long as they insisted for a while, they would wait for the support of the wing cavalry, instead of fighting the enemy deadly.

With Marin's explanation, Sigmund I saw his eyes bright-he could already imagine the scene where the powerful Polish wing cavalry would abuse his opponent in the future ... Even the logistic forces were so dangling, who could defeat the Polish wing cavalry?

Marin smiled after listening to Sigmund I's thoughts and said nothing. He did not tell Siegmont I the weakness of this tactic-fear of artillery ...

This mule car array can also resist the cold weapon troops. In the face of artillery bombardment, it will definitely be finished. After all, mules are also made of wood ...

However, the main enemies of the Polish wing cavalry are Mao Zi and Ottoman Turkey. Moreover, Poland itself also cooperates with infantry and artillery. It is not a separate battle, and this weakness is nothing. Moreover, when you encounter artillery, can't you stop it and run away? Mule carts are also cars. Although they can't beat horse-drawn carriages, they can still be done by avoiding the frontal bombardment of artillery ... After all, the construction of artillery positions takes a long time. This time is neutral, enough mules to run ...

...

After arranging the matter to help Siegmont I train the wing cavalry, Marin returned with his army. Now, Marin needs to rush to do one thing-let his people develop the technology of inserting a wooden wedge into the rifle. This is not an easy task. It is enough to study how thick an inverted triangular wooden wedge is used. How to dig a hole in a rifle wood is also a knowledge.

The rifle is a whole. If a hole is dug in the barrel, it is easy for the rifle to break. Therefore, it is very learned how to dig the hole used to place the inverted triangular wooden wedge. If one is not good, it is easy for the cavalry to charge and break the barrel.

In the end, Marin came up with a way to get a double iron sleeve to the gun. Inner and outer double layers, a hole is made in the inner iron sleeve for inserting a wooden wedge. If the iron sleeve is fixed and protected, the gun barrel will not be easily broken. The outer iron sleeve is connected to the spring and is responsible for breaking the inverted triangular wooden wedge and releasing a certain recoil ...

When Marin left Kraków with the army, his parents and his elders, Anne, who had just become Queen of Poland, was very reluctant. She took the hands of her parents and brothers, refused to let go of life and death, and cried wildly. Because, Anne knew that this kind of difference, it would be difficult to meet again in the future.

This era is not a later generation, just buy a plane ticket or train ticket and you can easily go back to your family. In this day and age, Krakow from Aurich was so far away from Poland, and the road was not smooth. The queen wanted to go back to her family, at least to bring a guard of more than a thousand people to travel. Otherwise, it is very unsafe.

Therefore, in the future, Anne wants to go home to see, it is difficult, and you may not have a chance every year. Annie knew this very well, so she was very reluctant to leave her family.

However, this is reality. Married daughters always face this problem, especially those who marry abroad. Marrying too far, and later wanting to return to her family to visit relatives has become a luxury. The only way to get in touch with your family is probably to write a letter ...

Although extremely reluctant, the old Hoffman and Mrs. Mary overcome the affection and reluctance and left Anne. After all, their home is not in Poland, but in northwestern Germany ...

"I regret to marry Anne to Poland now ~ www.novelhall.com ~ How about becoming a queen? We will never see our baby daughter again!" On the way back to the country, the old Hoffman suddenly felt emotion.

"Yeah, my poor Anne, I will have a hard time living in a distant, unfamiliar country in Poland ... oooo ..." Mrs. Mary cried sadly.

Marin pouted, thinking to himself-Didn't you just squint up when you heard that Sigmund I might become a king? In order to make Anne a queen, give Anne, a good cabbage in her early 20s, to Sigmund I, the 39-year-old "pig" to arch ...

However, he dare not say it at this time. Fortunately, Mrs. Mary, if Old Huffman heard Marin say this, he would definitely be angry and angry. If he beats himself, Marin is inconvenient to beat back ...

There were tens of thousands of troops guarding it. Naturally, it was smooth sailing along the way, and there was no dumb idiot who came to die. So, along the way, Marin is boring.

After returning to Aurich, Marin quickly found a team of craftsmen responsible for the manufacture of spring lances, ordered them to improve the spring lances according to their own ideas, and was responsible for verifying and confirming the thickness and size of the inverted triangle cork wedge ...
