"I talked with Lao Yang two days ago." Li Xuanying said to several others: "We also have this kind of big car, but the idea of using it is still very different."
"The number of self-defense forces we organized is very small. We have not fought any large-scale wars so far. We have only had several conflicts with local nobles." Brother Zelik also relayed: "But judging from the existing experience , the focus is indeed very different.”
Jessica spread her hands, pointed in the distance, and shook her head.
"The captain said that your cavalry is very powerful and he is very envious of it." After Brother Zelik finished translating, he added: "I feel the same way. We have never fought such a rich battle."
Li Xuanying and Guo Kang both nodded.
In Europe, for a long time, those who could provide high-quality cavalry were generally small lords. However, the sect of these people is too "grassroots", and the number of cavalry is not only small, but also not completely consistent with the opinions of the real mud-legged people who are the main force of the army.
In this situation where the cavalry was weak and unreliable, Jessica and others had to use vehicle barriers and firearms to assist the infantry in forming formations to achieve their goal of fighting against the HRE knights.
Therefore, these people were actually forced to use chariots.
But in the army of the Purple Horde Khanate, cavalry was a powerful unit.
The Khanate and the Shinra had fought many times before, and the Purple Horde Army's consistent idea was to use more powerful armored cavalry troops to proactively look for opportunities to limit or even eliminate the Shinra knights. On the battlefield, the purple tent infantry mainly considers offense, rather than relying on fortifications and terrain for defense, or holding spears as human flesh to resist horses.
In some places, such as the 30,000 households in Beizhang, as well as the military mansions on the northern shore of the Black Sea and Crimea, there are not even pure infantry in the strict sense. Although there is also the term "car camp", most of the time, it is taken literally. At present, there is really no experience in playing the car base in such a way.
"This is also a way of thinking, and it's something we here usually find difficult to think of and rarely have the opportunity to practice." Li Xuanying said frankly to the two of them: "We are very interested in this kind of experience."
"Unfortunately, we are not convinced of the value of this method of combat in large-scale battles." After asking Jessica, Zelik relayed: "The captain is worried that sooner or later Father Hus and the Roman Church will be completely If we fall out, then we may not face a few lords looking for trouble, but the army of Emperor Sigismund and the princes."
"To be honest, we don't know whether this tactic is useful or not. However, this is the best method we can think of now. We have no choice but to continue to use it."
"Actually, you don't have to worry about this..." Guo Kang tried to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he found that there was nothing he could say.
At this time, the Hussite war he knew had not actually begun. You can't tell him that in the face of your tactics, the Shinra army will behave like a noob, killing people at all kinds of incredible proportions every day.
As a qualified commander, it is normal for Jessica to be cautious. His persuasion would probably be of no use. Therefore, Guo Kang simply ignored him - anyway, the actual performance in the future will prove everything.
Over there, Li Xuanying and Zhu Wenkui were already chatting with Jessica.
"You may not know yet." Zelik explained to Zhu Wenkui: "The current situation is actually very bad. The church is determined to ask for money, and behind the church is Sigismund. Therefore, as long as we fight together, He will definitely lead troops to intervene."
"He wants to save money to build another army and fight with us." Li Xuanying judged: "It's not surprising."
"Yes. Even our farmers in the countryside know that Sigismund's wife was robbed." Zelik said with a wry smile: "If we don't fight, it may not be normal."
"What's going on?" Zhu Wenkui asked.
"This all happened thirty years ago." Li Xuanying said: "It was probably in 1382. King Lajos of Hungary and Poland died, leaving only two daughters. So he ordered his sister Mary to Leah takes the throne."
“When Lajos was alive, he got his daughter Maria and Sigismund engaged, and asked them to go to Poland to persuade the nobles to be loyal, preparing to unite Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland to fight against each other. us."
"Although the Polish nobles didn't like Sigismund, and they didn't want to continue to be co-owners with Hungary. But it was obvious that we wanted to be more intimidating, so they reluctantly agreed in the end."
"You don't have much contact here, so you may feel unfamiliar. But European dynasties can acquire other territories through marriage." He explained to Zhu Wenkui: "The princes of Alemanni are quite good at This is what the Khan's court decided at that time, and they needed to find a way to stop it. Otherwise, wouldn't they become the overlord after just getting married? "
"How to stop this?" Zhu Rongna also asked curiously.
"Isn't it a good idea?" Li Xuanying explained: "You see, the key to expanding territory through marriage is to marry the woman. So, we just need to capture the woman directly and prevent him from getting married, otherwise we will break them A marriage plan?"
"...Who came up with this idea?" Jeanne said helplessly.
"I don't know either." Li Xuanying spread her hands and said, "The situation was quite special that time, and we actually only succeeded once."
"Under normal circumstances, the king of such a big country would not be so easy to catch. But at that time, they had a problem on their side."
"King Maria is too young. She was only 11 years old when she came to the throne. The affairs of the country are managed by her mother, Queen Elizabeth, and her future husband, Sigismund. Many nobles cannot accept a woman as king, and many people do not like it. The Queen Mother and Sigismund, so there was chaos within the country for a while.”
"At that time, Hungary also included Croatia and Bosnia. The Queen Mother was a great nobleman in Bosnia, and the Croatian nobles hated her and Sigismund's rule. So they united with some Hungarian nobles who were also dissatisfied and brought them together. King Charles of Naples invited him. Charles defeated the Queen Mother, drove Sigismund away, proclaimed himself king, and established a new court."
"Wait, why is there another person?" Zhu Wenkui interrupted: "What is the origin of this new king?"
"I don't know either." Li Xuanying gave up the explanation directly: "The relationship between them is very complicated. If you grab any prince, they are probably all relatives and have the right to inherit. The devil knows how it is calculated."
