A giant warhorse that requires double the food of a human. It is a living weapon that has undergone training after battle. Even my beloved horse in the darkness will trample the enemy if it goes into combat. Controlling it as if it were an arm or leg, even with a cavalry of seven thousand, we cannot compete with their mobility and breakthrough power. Even if we could win, we would suffer tremendous losses, and our coalition forces would lose operational effectiveness. Is it not better to retreat and join with the rear guard?
Just prepare a fence.
It’s good to dig a hole too.
Barbed wire is great!
I love it too!
>>3
In Warlord, our forces were fewer, but we wiped them out with this and a gatling gun.
A horse charging straight at you isn’t that scary, right?
It’s more troublesome to be outmaneuvered with mobility.
>>4
Then take the lead.
>>7
I don’t like being at the front very much.
>>15
Hey, you’re full of energy, new recruit! Then I’ll leave it to you!
>>4
The image shows the cavalry unit assigned to intercept sent to another location, leaving the rear wide open.
>>4
Well then, please catch the charging horse!
>>4
If you can form a wide formation that makes it difficult to easily flank with soldiers holding large shields and long spears, then sure.
>>4
The Battle of Nagashino’s greatest victory factor was the Tokugawa army striking from the rear, forcing the Oda army to build field fortifications while the Takeda army charged in, yet only the horse barriers and three-tiered shooting are discussed…
>>12
I didn’t learn about field fortification at school.
>>17
Since I haven’t learned about the movements of the Tokugawa side, I don’t understand the crucial core part.
If you make a loud noise, the horse will panic.
Well, as a result, they sometimes rush in here…
>>5
A proper military horse is trained during development to become accustomed to loud voices, gunshots, and cannon fire.
Using drums and gongs to acclimate to noise has been done since ancient times.
>>5
Is it time for the iron cannon…?
Appearance of the Gatling gun.
>>6
Forgive me with a mitrayous.
>>10
Even that is strong, you know.
>>32
Once we accurately execute and annihilate the cavalry…
They are just like those reckless gangs that come charging in on their bikes…
>>13
In terms of weight, it’s at a level of a large motorcycle or a light truck…
Such things charge at us in a group, brandishing spears at speeds of 40 to 50 km/h.
Scary
Logistics! Logistics!
Let’s defend with parallel gunfire from the infantry.
If there are no cavalry archers, we should be able to manage somehow.
>>18
Cavalry isn’t really a decisive factor in battle…
Even in Mongolia, the main force is heavy cavalry.
>>29
There are a lot of misunderstandings here, aren’t there…?
When the rice runs out, it gets tough.
>>20
Napoleon’s Moscow campaign is great, isn’t it… he keeps getting more and more exhausted.
Even cannons are like babies in front of the mobility of horses…
Fleeing into the forest.
>>23
The image was supposed to be from a battle in a desert area.
I thought it was Moo-chan in the second panel.
Even with firearms as the main focus, it is still strong.
The machine gun finally appeared and then disappeared.
>>26
When bayonets came out and line infantry transitioned from pike and shot to solely gunmen, infantry must have been really terrifying.
I don’t have the confidence to stop charging cavalry without a long spear.
>>41
That’s why it was necessary to have repetitive training like this.
>>41
Bayonet fixed!
>>26
In other words, when combined with firearms, it becomes even stronger.
Cavalry with guns is just too strong!
…The maintenance costs are insane!
They say it’s ten times the food, but when you look at the quality of the food rather than the quantity, horses are overwhelmingly more cost-effective than humans.
>>27
Making hay is hard work, you know…
>>27
Mutaguchi (ping!）
>>64
Originally, Japanese people are herbivores, and to be struggling for food with such blue mountains surrounding them is…
>>72
You took it down a boring path that follows the template.
>>27
Horses that can be used in war are raised by feeding them grain.
Like creating a structure similar to Tershio.
>>31
Surrounding from all sides with bikes is powerful… but the mobility dies.
After surrounding with barbed wire, it will be cut down quickly with a Gatling gun.
Although they retreated from the front lines with the advent of machine guns, they were still used quite conveniently until World War II…
Fun Pike Squad
The end.
I think it’s not that cavalry disappeared, but rather that horses are no longer used because automobiles have advanced.
Are heavy cavalry too strong? Is there no way to deal with it? That was the premise, and various meta strategies were being devised because of it…
There are countermeasures against cavalry, but the strong point of cavalry is their mobility, which allows them to avoid playing by the opponent’s rules.
If we charge in, it seems like even the horses won’t come cheap, so I wonder how they manage to be alright.
It doesn’t seem like something that can just be easily changed to another horse because of an injury.
>>47
So things like armor for horses also appear.
>>47
Well, horses can be hurt and die, that’s to be expected.
>>48
To put it more bluntly, the height is so much bigger than a bike’s that it’s not even comparable.
Scary
I dislike cavalry because they are cheap.
Isn’t this guy’s cheat ability kind of plain?
>>50
What kind of cheat is it?
>>60
When I reach a life-or-death situation, I can see a vision of the Grim Reaper hanging around my neck.
>>69
Isn’t it powerful to detect checkmate situations in war, even if it’s plain?
>>78
Do you also come up with ideas to recover from there?
>>85
Well, I do have a background in modern history from this world.
>>90
Do we have to manage that ourselves?
>>50
It’s plain, but it can also be used like future prediction, so it’s super strong.
>>50
If this person dies, I’ll commit suicide too; the effective range is almost unlimited, which is strong.
Cavalry charges are ineffective against castles!
So we should become a castle by some means!
>>51
Difficulty…
“Will it crush us in winter?”
It is said that native horses were not as big as today’s thoroughbreds.
Even so, it would be scary if that came charging at us with full force.
Isn’t there a way to fix this?
>>54
In Japan’s Sengoku period, charging while mounted on a horse was basically not done.
So sometimes when there’s someone swinging a spear while riding a horse, it gets recorded as them having weird balance and skills.
>>79
Since they are not gelded and because it’s a culture that values wild horses, the difficulty of riding them is ridiculously high.
In the early Edo period, people had already given up on riding normally and it became popular to cut the horse’s mane.
I used to hear that the strongest aspect of cavalry was being able to cut down a defeated opponent from behind, and I didn’t really understand it, but recently I’ve started to realize how strong that really is.
Hoigatling
If you could use a gun while mounted, it would have wreaked havoc well into later times.
>>61
It could be used and there was some left.
>>61
Dragoon!
>>61
Those who could shoot a bow while mounted were historically very strong…
Horses…food…in emergencies…
A large creature weighing over 300 kilos won’t be easily stopped by one or two arrows…
I’ve heard that the tendency for firearms from the old days to have large calibers is related to that.
The judgment is unusually flexible, isn’t it, Kamasu?
>ID:rFI27q0I
I wonder if we can compact the feed with something like a rich feed now.
I wonder if it feels like being blown away by a car when charged by cavalry.
Let’s fight in a place where cavalry can’t deploy!
If you only focus on quality and quantity, it’s hard to understand, but horse feed is bulky and therefore costs a lot in transportation.
The strength of the Central Eurasian horseback nomads was largely due to the fact that they could procure local resources in the steppe regions.
>>82
Mongolia can prepare a lot of replacement horses.
Switching horses that have run out of stamina to rotate them.
The speed of long-distance travel will be on a completely different level.
Moat and horse barricade! Moat and horse barricade!
Horses that originally existed in Japan are first of all too small… They are no different from donkeys…
>>84
It’s quite different from the image…
>>86
It has a size that is different from what I imagined.
>>84
It was the same all over the world.
Horses in Europe were small until the 15th century.
>>84
Small (sturdy)
>>84
In Europe, based on regulations for military horses and bones confirmed from excavations, it seems that until around the 15th century, they were at a similar level of 120 to 140 cm.
Don’t seriously say things like being instantaneously destroyed by an RPG from the side.
Amano Genemon left a note saying, “Wow… the horses on the continent are huge…” so it was probably one of the smaller ones back then.
How is a horse in terms of logistics? Isn’t it difficult with food and all?
>>98
It depends on the journey and the destination…
Cavalry is strong when raiding the enemy lines!
This is still a matter of AoE2, but…
It looks like the formation is about to collapse because of a cavalry charge.
If it’s stopped, it would be a huge loss.
When I lightly researched the Hussar cavalry that I learned about here.
It seems that a special breed of horses was used, and it was written as if it were a military secret.
I realize that there are performance differences, which seems obvious in hindsight.
The square formation of line infantry for anti-cavalry quickly gathers into a rectangle, creating a feeling that we are becoming a fort.
vs Dog
Since I’ve been raising and training them since childhood, I wonder what will happen to the cavalry if the horses die in battle.
>>105
Wealthy warriors usually prepare spare horses.
>>105
There were times and places where people were quite mocked for causing only horses to die.
Are you scared?
I’m sure that at this time, our cavalry had already been used by incompetent superiors for reconnaissance missions to inspect enemy conditions.
As expected, they were captured by the enemy and all killed.
I wonder if cavalry can also become infantry once they dismount.
>>109
The dismounted armored cavalry is a relatively common military branch.
>>109
Unless it’s a special horseback armor, you can also easily dismount and fight normally.
In the era of full armor, there are combat techniques for fighting against armor.
Even the light cavalry afterwards has bayonets and rifles.
Karakoram! Karakoram!
>>112
The one who didn’t stand out has come…
If you call Swiss farmers and battle them in the mountains, knights will be no match for them.
Mobility is indeed justice, huh?
>>115
On the battlefield, it’s basically a team fight, and it’s difficult to frequently change the direction of the attack.
Gaining +2 movement power and literally intervening from a direction the opponent is not prepared for is the strongest.
>>125
It’s probably quite difficult to make an old army turn around while keeping them in formation.
>>115
If you have mobility, you can secure advantageous positions before your opponent.
The glorious Imperial Army cavalry’s tactics against the Russians were to dismount, dig trenches, and take shelter.
Thinking about raising it, maintaining it, and occasionally doing actual combat, it really is a money eater.
So I’m going to take it.
Weight × Speed = Destructive Power
The heaviest and fastest branch of the military on the battlefield is cavalry.
People are the castle, people are the stone walls, people are the moat.
There are quite a few records of samurai from the Sengoku period fighting on foot.
During the Kamakura period, after falling from a horse, there were head-taking battles fought by the retainers accompanying him.
There are even cases where one might cut off their own master’s head and escape.
Create a fortress with a carriage and intercept with Bidaman.
>>123
Stop it! Beedaman is not a tool to hurt people! Let’s have a match, just the two of us!
It looks like the military uniform is from the Napoleonic Wars, and it seems to be just around the last era when heavy cavalry could still be active?
There are records that a huge horse, around 3 meters tall, was presented from France during the era of the Yuan dynasty’s Toghon Temür, so it’s likely that there were indeed exceptionally large horses in the past.
Three meters is quite the exaggeration, isn’t it?
>>126
Usually, it’s measured from the horse’s back because it’s the height at the withers.
Isn’t it measured at the height of the horse’s head?
Still, it’s big.
Let’s stuff the cannon full of nails.
During the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War, the U.S. Army had cavalry dragging around light artillery, doing things like mobile artillery, which shows that it can be adapted for either mobility or penetrative power.
Eating ten times as much… Well, it’s grass, so I guess it’s fine…
Pizarro is said to have invaded with cavalry, but I wonder how he was able to take such a delicate creature as a horse all the way across the ocean.
There is no existence that can stop the group charge of the strongest French cuirassiers, proud of the Napoleonic continental army.
But the Redcoat is different!
>>135
I understood the strength of the Red Coat in the free game!
Cavalry as cavalry is difficult in terms of operational costs and reprocurement if they are not mounted tribes…
Grass isn’t free, you know! (Except for nomads)
Are all horse-riding tribesmen supposed to be like cavalry?
>>139
Shooting arrows while riding a horse.
The era when horses started to sprout around there is nice.
>>140
If they grew back that easily, the horses of the New World would never have gone extinct in the first place.
>>142
So there’s no such thing as a good deal, huh?
>>140
That horse over there is just a little weakling.
If only there were a lot of crossbows!
The best grassland for raising horses is, conversely, land that lacks the nutrients to become a forest.
Since agriculture cannot be done properly, it inevitably leads to plundering from elsewhere…
In other words, the cost is ten times!
I’ll solve it with determination.
Here we go!! Don’t mind me, even if it hits, it just hurts! This time, I’ll break through with all my might!! Let’s show the pride of the lower nobility!! Uraah!! Crush them all!! Guh…!? Wh-what’s with these guys…!? Hee-haw! Aim! Change the target to the collapsed opponent!! Biew biew, if the target feels it now, then your… Aaaah, I think… Do-do-do, do-do!
>>147
What the hell are these guys?
>>155
It’s just monstrous to handle it with a tackle…
>>147
What is this?
I’m glad I wasn’t born in this era.
If I had been born into nobility in this era, I might have been able to do whatever I wanted… that’s how I feel.
Commoners, serfs, and slaves, it’s sorry even if they die.
There’s romance, isn’t there?
Wasn’t there something like a heavily armored horse with armor?
750cc bike… 200 to 250 kg
Racehorse…400 to 500 kg
>>151
Racehorses are tuned for speed, so for combat, a sturdier, healthy specimen will come.
>>153
That… Japanese horse racing was supposed to have been established with the aim of enhancing the military horse supply…
>>151
Draft horse… 800 to 1000 kg
That’s right, let’s ride on a bigger animal and charge in!
Cavalry archers are amazing, aren’t they…?
>>156
There are some people who are strangely overrating it, but it only makes sense when it can work in coordination with heavy cavalry.
It’s an animal that seems like it was born to be ridden by humans, especially since wild horse species are on the verge of extinction.
Isn’t this a different manga…?
The horse-riding tribes are strong, but they are few in number and often engage in internal conflicts, leading to their own downfall.
>>161
It’s a land where we have no choice but to choose a way of life that cannot settle.
>>161
So sometimes the popping leadership ghost is really something, you know?
https://comicpash.jp/series/701e1153ae856
The thread is super interesting, so read it! The colonel is really cute.
>>162
It’s nice, isn’t it? A legal loli military girl.
If you think about it, it’s tough for those who charge with cavalry since they risk losing functionality if they get injured.
I want to attack from a distance unilaterally while riding a horse.
>>163
I did a partial shot!
The excellence of sakura meat, which can also serve as emergency food, is delicious.
Well, it’s like trying to discuss all automobiles just by looking at F1 cars, while including racehorses in the conversation about working horses.
If the horse I’ve taken care of and shared my life with dies in battle, it would feel like a loss 100 times greater than losing a pet.
It’s often done by Persia and China to give ranks and money to a convenient tribe and let them attack other tribes because it’s a hassle.
The cost of operating the horse, you know.
>>172
But if I have all the luggage carried by humans, they’ll get tired before the battle, so I at least want to bring a pack horse.
Isn’t it only thoroughbreds that are done for when they break a bone?
>>174
Both Mongolian and Kazakh horse-riding tribes often eat horse meat.
Depending on the extent of the injury, it might turn into meat right away.
I recalled the story of how a mom riding a horse named Shiro in Dōshirō scattered a group of yankee half-gangsters who had barged into her home.
If anything, even after the appearance of the machine gun, it remained active as a leg carrying a light machine gun.
Let’s conquer warm regions and live a good life.
>>181
After that, Harudun wrote that the next generation or the one after that settled down would be conquered by another nomadic tribe.
>>188
Everyone wants warm and fertile land, after all.
>>181
About 4000 years ago, they arrived riding horses from the steppes.
The conquest and interbreeding with the farming people who were present in the area.
They are the ancestors of the people living in Europe now.
But if you live a good life, you gradually become urbanized, and the bonds of the tribe start to weaken…
The statement that equestrian nomadic states have more horses than people is not just an exaggeration.
Well, you could say there are few people…
That’s nice, isn’t it?
Shirudanyuu
>>170
It often seems that nomadic people are unfairly viewed as unintelligent savages, like they might be cursed and killed by the hellish Sugiyama-sensei, but in reality, that’s not the case at all.
The reason Mongolia was strong among numerous nomadic groups is largely because they were exceptionally skilled in intelligence and strategy.
>>190
No doubt they’re incredibly barbaric, regardless of their intelligence!
>>196
Don’t worry, because the barbarism of those in settled cultural areas who call them savages is honestly not much different at all.
Even during Napoleon’s era, cavalry charges were the trump card.
What truly killed the cavalry was the machine gun.
Horses are just execution tools that stuff people into bags and make them run.
Before I knew it, I’ve become a trading person who dominates commerce and loves Uyghurs.
If zebras really work hard, they might be able to be ridden about 500 years from now.
When the mounted nomads migrate to the center, they seriously weaken in the next generation…
