Riding and slashing the stars of empire civilization

359 Attila’s Cavalry Training Course

Maybe the Batonians in the past... should be called the Batonians now had a cavalry force, and the scale would not be small, otherwise the name Fiona Knights would not have been handed down.

But after the Bretonnians were driven into the mountains and forests by the emerging empire, the Bretonnians, who lost almost all their horse-breeding areas, were the most talked about on the battlefield. Only the longbowmen were left.

So it's not surprising that Arthur is not good at riding. Seriously speaking, she can use the training method of "letting the war horses charge with the leader", which is considered to be a superb riding skill among the Bretonnians.

This kind of training method is a very backward skill in the eyes of an authentic grassland farmer like Attila.

Only small tribes on the grassland use this method to train riding skills. The advantage of this kind of riding skills is that even if you have just started to learn it, you can only sit firmly on the horse and control the riding skills under your crotch. The war horse makes a charge.

Instead of rushing for a while, the person disappeared, and after a while, the horse disappeared.

But precisely because it is a quick method, this method also has a big drawback, that is, it can only support the unison of two to three hundred cavalry at most.

Therefore, on the grassland, only those small tribes with few people but many horses will choose this method... because if used properly, the unmanned war horses will charge with the leader.

On a cavalry battlefield with a thousand-man level or even more, this method cannot be done.

In order to prevent the guards trained by Arthur from becoming mounted infantry, Milin ordered Attila to train the equestrian skills of these guards on the road.

Wouldn't it be funny if the troops under the Knight King of Bretonnia were a group of mounted infantry... Although Arthur still doesn't understand why Milin insisted on giving her the title of Knight King.

"Is that so?"

Hearing Milin's order, Attila showed a hesitant expression on his face.

"What's wrong? Is it difficult?" Sensing Attila's inner struggle, Milin asked strangely.

Milin could sense that Attila was debating whether she could complete the task.

"The time is a little short." Attila said the reason why she was struggling.

After all, for the cavalry, three months is the entry time, and most of the members of the Guards have only been admitted to the army for less than three months.

According to the current marching speed and the intelligence that the reconnaissance troops will pass back every day, as long as the two armies maintain the current relative speed, the forward troops of both sides will be at war with each other in up to ten days and a half.

It took more than ten days for these guards who had just completed the basic riding course, that is, they could only hold their weapons to sit firmly on the charging horses without falling off, to become equestrian masters who could skillfully control the horses. It's really a bit exaggerated.

"But I will do my best, Master." Although he was entangled, Attila did not refuse Milin's order. After all, she was the only cavalry general under Milin. If she didn't come, no one would come.

"E, there is no need to be so entangled. These people do not need to be unparalleled in riding and shooting. As long as they can charge with a thousand people without causing chaos due to poor control, it will be fine."

Millin, who also knew that this request was a bit excessive due to time constraints, lowered his expectations.

"If that's the case, the time may be enough." Attila nodded, and after thinking for a while, he continued: "But even if it is completed, it still lacks control."

The lack of control Attila mentioned was that after completing more than ten days of temporary expedited training, even if a thousand people could charge, they would disperse after one charge.

It would take a long time to get back together again after breaking up.

As a result, it is easy to fall into a disadvantage on the battlefield.

Unless the tactical arrangement is like that of the Empire's armored cavalry, which does not rely on charging and only relies on cutting, but in that case it will seem very wasteful.

And even if you learn the tactics of the national armored cavalry, if you can't rearrange your formation after completing the first charge, you will still be easily overturned.

If there is only one knight, even if he is fully armed, he will be poked down by a few farmers holding pitchforks.

"Then just charge in one wave." After listening to Attila's analysis of various cavalry tactics, Milin said as if he didn't care.

"Only one wave?" Attila was slightly stunned.

"Anyway, you still have your Khan's bodyguards... Oh no, the Durahan cavalry is in charge. Just maximize the destructive power of that wave of charges." Milin said to Attila.

After hearing what Milin said, Attila turned his head and glanced at the Dalahan cavalry on the side. He seemed to notice Attila's eyes. These cavalrymen who were holding torches in broad daylight paid tribute to Attila.

In addition to the unique torches in their hands, these Dalahan cavalry were dressed in a very standard prairie folk style... but they did not carry bows and arrows like their leader Attila.

The main weapon of these Durahan cavalry is only a scimitar in their hands.

In other words, the main fighting method of this unit, which mostly wore armor or felt armor and looked like light cavalry, was close combat.

If you haven't seen the sharp killing skills of these Dalahan cavalry with your own eyes, most of them will be deceived by the costume of this cavalry.

It is indeed a suitable tactic to let the Guards troops who have just been training for a while break up the enemy's formation with a charge, and then take advantage of the chaos to let the Durahan cavalry charge forward to harvest.

Simple, but effective enough. As long as the opponent cannot resist the charge of the Guards, it will inevitably be harvested by the Dalahan Cavalry that follows.

"I understand, Master." Attila nodded to Milin after analyzing the tactics in his mind.

After that, Attila immediately began special training for the Guards.

She first selected a few veterans of the Guards who had certain equestrian skills, who were the riders of the first horses originally selected by Arthur.

Then these veterans followed behind him and got used to their own rhythm.

After that, some soldiers with better talents were selected to follow behind these veterans and become familiar with the rhythm of these veterans' riding habits.

Using this kind of support method of one to three, three to six, six to twelve, which is like a pyramid scheme, all the guards began to get used to the same riding rhythm.

Finally, a group of those who had good training results and could control their horses to keep up with the increasingly fast-paced soldiers were selected as the spearheads during the charge, and the rest were placed in the middle of the team.

Those with the least talent, those who could not complete training in just ten days, were placed at the back of the team.

In this way, even if it cannot keep up with the charging rhythm, at least it will not affect the overall speed of the team.

In just a few days, Attila had trained the Guards, which had only been established for a few months, to be able to charge with guns in a decent manner...at least it looked decent.

After seeing the satisfactory training results, Milin looked very satisfied and found Glina, the head of the logistics unit.

Because this unit has a very single type of troops, as a super logistics officer, Galina can be said to be very idle. She spends almost every day doing nothing and watching Attila's military training process with Milin.

"Kryptonina, come and help me make something interesting." Milin took out a design and threw it to Galina and said.

"Explosive tube??" Galina asked immediately while looking at the design in Milin's hand, and added by the way: "And my name is not Kryptonkinna."

"I got it, big orange cat." Milin said with a humbly accepting but unyielding expression: "Can you do it?"

"It's possible, but Commander, what do you want this for?" As Griffin's professional logistics talent, it is very simple for Galina to use the materials at hand to make small toys such as explosive tubes. I wonder what Mirin wants these for.

Set off fireworks?

"It can be regarded as setting off fireworks." As Milin said this, he glanced at the Imperial Guard cavalry who followed Attila and rolled up a cloud of smoke.
