这种骑兵以手枪对抗骑兵冲锋的战例估计不太多吧,效果又如何呢。似乎从材料上看,虽然有一定效果,但是也存 ...
看了下Gill的书,这个战例中萨克森骑兵的初始发挥其实也不佳,但奥军骑兵更为低劣,鲁塞尔的表现称之为军事失误或是灾难真不过分【邪恶猜想此人难道是不忍对法军下重手?
This came in the form of G M Roussel d'Hurbal's brigade of cuirassiers (Erzherzog Franz, Herzog Albert), deployed west of Raasdorf near the Neues Wirtshaus. Worried that the Austrian heavies represented a danger to the left flank of his infantry, Bernadotte sent his chief of staff, GB Maurice Etienne Gerard, to remove the threat. The Saxon contingent's chief of staff, Oberst Karl von Gersdorff, rode up at almost the same moment with the same mission. Approached by the Saxon Hussars and Prinz Clemens Chevaulegers, the Austrians easily repelled an impetuous but ill-advised charge by the latter regiment, but the rest of the Saxon horse, called forward by Gersdorff, was soon on the scene. Roussel's men, who had successfully turned back Prinz Clemens by receiving that charge at the halt, elected to repeat this tactic and waited motionless instead of counter-charging as most cavalry experts of the day recommended. The result was defeat for the white-coated troopers as the Saxon Hussars turned their left flank and the Saxon heavy squadrons slammed into their ranks from the front. The Austrians 'fled as fast as their horses would carry them in greatest disorder' after a swirling melee, and the Saxons rode back exultantly to reform near Raasdorf, receiving well-earned praise from Bernadotte for their performance.'
