Chen You introduced the encounter with the Tartars. In fact, it was not so much like fighting, but rather that the Tartars saw the strange attack sequence of the Ming army and chose to run away.

At that time, the Tartars were besieging Niuxin Castle. A large number of Tartar cavalry circled around Niuxin Castle to find defense loopholes, and at the same time, dense rain of arrows shot into the fort from time to time to cause damage.

After Yu Dayou's military chariot battalion arrived, he directly used a unicycle chariot to attack the Tatar cavalry in a fan-shaped formation. When the Tatars entered the range of firearms, they parked and attacked with the Fran cannons and bird guns on the unicycle. A team of 200 cavalrymen behind the formation wandered left and right to protect them.

The chariots were closely connected, and the Tatar cavalry could not ride alone.

The unicycle is light and is always light in the way of fighting against the enemy regardless of how the Tartars move left and right or impact head-on. The soldiers who are shooting arrows in the rain of Tartars hide behind the baffle and load ammunition, and use the Fran cannon to quickly load and strike.

If the Tatars divided their troops to attack, the weaker route would be attacked and restrained by the Ming cavalry.

At this time, the Ming army in Niuxin Castle also began to gather under the city to prepare to go out to help the battle. Seeing that the Tatars could not find a way to break the enemy in a short time, they chose to retreat.

After listening to Chen You's words, Wei Guangde closed his eyes and thought for a while, probably figured out the scene of the battle.

The forces of both sides are actually quite close. Yu Dayou may have a thousand troops and a 200 horse army under his command. This group of troops is considered a strong army even if it is placed in the border town.

This style of fighting reminded Wei Guangde of the chariots he saw in Xuanfu.

The only difference is that the equipment made by Zeng Xian was a bit troublesome in attacking and retreating, and required a pack horse to pull. Although it could also be driven by manpower, it could only be short-distance maneuvers.

If a small group of Ming troops fought with the Tartars, it seemed that this wheelbarrow chariot would have some miraculous effects.

If it was a big war, this unicycle could only play a role in local battlefields. After all, the unicycle's shielding was always inferior to that of a four-wheeled chariot. Wei Guangde had carefully studied the use of that kind of chariot, and felt that it was similar to the tactics of the Western Army before World War II in later generations.

The tanks at that time were accompanied by infantry and acted as firepower points and shields.

At this time, the border troops also viewed the large chariots in this way. They accompanied the infantry operations and formed a camp during wartime to prevent the Taurus cavalry from raiding.

However, the difference between it and a tank is that it can be used as a defensive tool but is not a powerful weapon for attack. Unless the commander has excellent strategies, surrounds the Tartars and blocks them with a vehicle array, he has the opportunity to wipe out the enemy completely.
