In the era of cold weapons, the cavalry was dressed, dominated by thousands of years, and the end of gunpowder became a distant legend

Literature and history is a painting, culture is painting paper, history is countless waves, culture is a river, history is a gorgeous flower, culture is a big garden, history is a star. History is long, and China is vast. However, historical events are sometimes very strange, but history is tortuous, in ancient China's history, it is a history of war, and it is often the commander or the well-equipped troops who decide the victory or defeat in the war.

With its unique advantages, the resident cavalry has led the way for nearly a thousand years in the era of cold weapons, especially the ethnic minorities in the north as standing weapons and equipment. However, in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, the five dynasties and sixteen kingdoms, and the Song, Liao, and Jin eras, as the Central Plains were once again plunged into war, the northern ethnic minorities once again appeared strong nomadic regimes - respectively, the Liao, Jin and Mongol regimes, and the armored cavalry as an important war bizarre was revived.

The cavalry was revived during the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the emergence of gunpowder in the early Ming Dynasty ended its historical mission. The armies of the Two Song Dynasties were mainly infantry, and the ethnic minority regimes they faced, the Liao Army, the Western Xia Army, and the Jin Army, were all aces with armored cavalry as the main attack weapon. In particular, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the fierce enemy of the Yue family army, the "Iron Floating Tu" of the Jin Army, was an offensive unit dominated by armored cavalry, and its heavy armor and excellent training could be called the world's top level at that time. The Jin Army's Tiefutu is the Jinjun armored cavalry "Tiefutu", with good training and discipline, which can achieve a neat and dense "wall charge" similar to that of modern cavalry. However, during the Song Dynasty, people called it "three people together, connected by piso", which may be false rumors, which is not enough to believe.

Across Eurasia, the Mongol cavalry galloping on the battlefield is the Mongolian army famous for its rushing and shooting, and there are also many armored cavalry. The wheel of history has come to the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, muskets and artillery are widely used, and finally let the armored cavalry with armor on the body lose their place of use, these iron horses that have been in the wind for thousands of years have since disappeared on the battlefield in China; in Europe, the uniformed cavalry has become an honor guard, full-time engaged in ceremonies and ceremonies to decorate the façade, and the armored cavalry has finally been terminated by gunpowder and muskets, becoming a distant legend and completing its historical mission.
