The Rise of the European Emperor

In the later generations of China, everyone knew about Qi Jiguang, but many people didn't know that in Qi Jiguang's time, there was another Yu Dayou, whose anti-Japanese achievements were no less than Qi Jiguang. Moreover, his ability to lead troops is not inferior to that of Qi Jiguang.

People at that time called them "Yu Long Qi Hu". The dragon was obviously stronger than the tiger, so the people at that time rated Yu Dayou even higher than Qi Jiguang.

Yu Dayou's martial arts are strong, and at that time he was considered a top master, not to mention the invincible player who played all over the world. In fact, the Pandan Fist spread in Southern Shaolin in Quanzhou comes from Yu Dayou's "Sword Classic". Of course, this "Sword Sutra" is actually Shaolin stick technique. When Yu Dayou was fighting the Japanese in Quanzhou, he passed this stick technique to Southern Shaolin. During the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Southern Shaolin monks handed down the Sword Sutra to the villagers. The villagers were not allowed to carry sticks in public because of the Manchu "Forbidden Military Order". Later, "Pandanquan" was developed. Later, "Jianjing" was also compiled into "Jixiao New Book" by Qi Jiguang, and gave a detailed introduction.

However, although Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang are both famous anti-Japanese generals, their fates are completely different. Yu Dayou had an upright temperament and did not know how to adapt. As a result, he was suspected and suppressed by the imperial court.

Qi Jiguang, on the other hand, was more cunning. Qi Jiguang took refuge in Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, and sent a large number of rare treasures to Zhang Juzheng every year. Then, Qi Jiguang was protected by Zhang Juzheng, and his official fortune was prosperous, and he went straight to the sky. Of course, when Zhang Juzheng died and Emperor Wanli began to liquidate Zhang Juzheng, Qi Jiguang also had bad luck. However, before this, the old Qi had been beautiful for a long time.

The training strategies of Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang are completely different. Yu Dayou likes even elite soldiers, those with high martial arts skills. Then, during the war, the elite troops were sent to attack and smash the enemy army.

Qi Jiguang, on the other hand, was more inclined to train a regiment with strict discipline and prohibition. He believes that the power of the individual is limited, and the power of the collective is powerful. Yu Dayou's method of training elite soldiers took too long, and it took ten or eight years to be effective. And relying on strict discipline, it only takes a few months to train an ordinary army that is forbidden. Moreover, if there is loss, it is convenient to replenish. And like Yu Dayou's kind of elite soldiers, although the combat power is strong, it is too difficult to replenish. If you lose your elite in the first battle, you may be in bad luck. As for Qi Jiguang's method of training troops, no matter how much the loss is, as long as he selects a group of honest farmers and trains them for a few months, his combat effectiveness will be restored.

Later, history proved that Qi Jiguang's thinking was correct. But Yu Dayou's approach is more likely to shine. Because the civilians did not understand the military, and seeing how powerful Yu Dayou's elite soldiers were,

Naturally, Yu Dayou is stronger than Qi Jiguang. Then, there is the saying "Yu Long Qi Hu".

Of course, as a younger generation, Qi Jiguang also learned many things from Yu Dayou. For example, Yu Dayou's "Jianjing" was highly praised by Qi Jiguang, and it was also compiled into "Jixiao New Book", which was also promoted in the military.

Even on the issue of the chariot formation, Qi Jiguang was also a copycat of Yu Dayou, and then made improvements.

Yu Dayou's unicycle is very simple, just put three or four sharp spearheads in front of the unicycle. During the battle, unicycles were sent to the front of the battle, and they were next to each other. The two brackets behind the wheelbarrow are inserted into the soil for fixation.

The one-wheeled chariot was specially designed to stop the Mongolian cavalry from charging according to the characteristics of the Mongolian cavalry when Yu Dayou was released from prison in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing (1558).

Yu Dayou discovered that the Ming infantry and Mongolian cavalry were most afraid of being attacked by the Mongolian cavalry. Because that would lead to the collapse of the entire army. Next, let the Mongolian cavalry chop and kill.

Therefore, Yu Dayou created a one-wheeled chariot according to the method of Zeng Xian, a famous military strategist who died unjustly. It is to insert three or four spearheads in front of the unicycle to block the impact of the Mongolian cavalry. If the Mongolian cavalry dared to collide, they would be directly pierced by three or four spearheads in front of the car. The two brackets at the back of the unicycle are deeply embedded in the soil, so the unicycle cannot be installed. In this way, the Mongolian cavalry who rushed up first would be impaled to death in front of the chariot, and the cavalry would be killed by the Ming army after they fell off their horses. The Mongolian cavalry rushing up from behind could only hit the corpse of the first war horse and could not advance.

In this way, it is impossible for the Mongolian cavalry to break into the infantry of the Ming army, and they can only stop, otherwise they will be knocked over by their own people. And the main force of the Ming army's infantry will not be defeated because the battle formation is overwhelmed.

At the same time, the Ming army infantry, hiding behind the unicycle formation, kept shooting with muskets and bows, killing and injuring the Mongolian cavalry in large numbers. Then, the Ming cavalry, when the Mongolian cavalry was hindered by the unicycle formation, would also rush out from the side and attack the flank of the Mongolian cavalry who had lost their speed.

Using unicycles to block the enemy, the musketeers and archers kept shooting, and finally sent the Ming cavalry to attack the Mongolian cavalry who had lost their speed after being forced to stop. With this whole set of tactics, Datong Town repeatedly defeated the invading Mongolian cavalry. Then, Yu Dayou was naturally exonerated.

The reason why Yu Dayou chose to use a unicycle as a chariot to stop the enemy, instead of using a large number of vans like Zeng Qian, was out of cost considerations. Zeng Xian was a minister of the Ministry of War and the governor of the three sides before, so he was naturally able to call a large number of vans. As for Yu Dayou in Datong Town, he was just a criminal who made a guilt and made meritorious deeds. Naturally, it was impossible for him to have the ability to mobilize a large number of vans.

Therefore, Yu Dayou used the cheapest unicycle, and installed a few spearheads in front of the unicycle, which became a chariot to stop the enemy, cheap and practical.

Later, when Qi Jiguang was ordered to guard Jibei, he was inspired by Yu Dayou and also used the chariot array to attack the Mongolian cavalry. However, on the basis of Yu Dayou and Zeng Xian, Qi Jiguang made improvements and came up with a sidecar. It is a chariot with one wall and one without.

When encountering the enemy, the side of the van with the wall faces the enemy, and the soldiers shoot the Mongolian cavalry with muskets and bows through the firing port on the wall.

The sidecar was huge, and the Mongolian cavalry was obviously unable to rush past it. Moreover, if the archery hit the Ming army, the bow and arrow were also blocked by the board wall. The Ming army, on the other hand, was able to shoot the Mongolian cavalry calmly through the shooting holes on the wall. Even, because the sidecar was huge, Qi Jiguang also put the tiger squat gun on the sidecar and shot the Mongolian cavalry.

Relying on this kind of chariot formation, when Qi Jiguang was sitting in Jibei, he killed the Mongolian cavalry that did not dare to approach...

Marin had analyzed the pros and cons of these two chariots in his previous life, and found that in terms of combat effectiveness, Qi Jiguang's side vans were naturally stronger in combat and higher in protection.

However, sidecars are not without their drawbacks. The main problem is that the sidecars are too bulky for marching. And Yu Dayou's unicycle, although not as good as a sidecar, is superior in lightness, flexibility, and ease of marching. If the army is marching fast, the unicycle can keep up. If it is replaced by a sidecar, it can only follow the baggage troop slowly.

Moreover, if you suddenly encounter the enemy cavalry, the unicycle will be deployed faster. Just insert the two brackets into the soil and fix the body of the vehicle to stop the enemy. On the sidecar, it takes time to untie the horses that pull the car, and then line up the side of the car to face the enemy, which is more time-consuming.

Moreover, the most important point is that in Europe, except for the Tatars in Eastern Europe, there are no organized cavalry archers in Western Europe. So, there's no need to use a sidecar to block the arrows from the enemy cavalry.

Because, Western European cavalry and Arab cavalry, are melee cavalry. As long as Yu Dayou's one-wheeled chariot was sacrificed, it was enough to stop the opponent's charge.

Taking a step back, even if the enemy has cavalry archers, there are a large number of musketeers in Marin's phalanx, and they are not inferior to shooting...

Thinking of this, Marin decided to equip his army with a large number of Yu Dayou's unicycles...

This decision was made because Marin thought about the shortcomings of the Spanish phalanx - the lack of offensive ability ...

Marin's phalanx, because two deep trenches were dug around the phalanx. Although it blocked the advance of the enemy army, at the same time, it also blocked the offensive line of the own army.

Therefore, Marin's phalanx can only be used for defensive warfare, not conducive to offense.

However, if the digging of deep trenches is changed to the use of Yu Dayou's chariot, it will be very different...

When the enemy attacked, the two rear legs of the chariot were deeply sunk into the ground. But if the enemy is defeated and flees, the soldiers pushing the cart can pull out the rear foot support from the soil, and then push the cart to chase the enemy. If the enemy counterattacks, then dig the back foot bracket into the ground to fight back...

In this way, Marin's army's mobility will be improved to a new level. It is no longer only passive defense standing there, but also has the ability to pursue the enemy.

Moreover, the unicycle is not only light, but also can put some military equipment on it. For example, you can put some horse-rejection and horse-tapping nails. Once the number of enemy cavalry is too large, the soldiers pushing the cart can throw the horse-rejection and horse-piercing nails on the cart to the front of the cart to block the charge of the enemy cavalry. Whether it is a refusal of a horse full of nails, or a horse nail that is specially designed to tie the horse's hoof, it will become a nightmare for the enemy cavalry...

Of course, this move is only used when the number of enemy cavalry is too large. Otherwise, throwing so many vicious thorns will not only affect the enemy's charge, but also affect the pursuit of the army. If a person's foot steps on a horse tack, it will be sour...
