Ming Chinese, part 3 - posted by Herbert Wong, 30 August 2023

Part 3 of my 28mm Ming Chinese army, the mounted troops:
12 RLHS and 3 RCvS Mongolian serviced in Ming's army, they were so called "3 thousands battalion".
8 ICvI Mercenary cavalry, 10 RCvO and 6 RCvS Ming's own Cavalry.

The early Ming army relied on Cavalry against Mongol's cavalry, and under serveral brilliant Generals, they drove the Mongols out of mainland back to steppe. However as time went by, the detoriated Ming cavalry no longer matched their enemy, so lots of firarms and wagons were included into later Ming army.
