两个马穆鲁克骑兵可以轻松对付三个法国骑兵，因为他们装备更好、马匹更好、训练更好。他们有两对手枪、一支大口径短枪、一支卡宾枪、带遮阳的头盔和锁甲。他们每人有几匹马，还有数名步行的侍从。
但是，一百名法国胸甲骑兵不会惧怕一百名马穆鲁克。三百名可以打败相同数量。一千名法国骑兵可以轻松击溃一千五百马穆鲁克。战术、纪律和阵法的作用就是这样大。
拉萨勒和勒克莱尔与马穆鲁克对阵时，把部队布成多条战列。当阿拉伯人就要压垮第一线时，第二线从左右协助。马穆鲁克于是停止并转向，以对付侧翼的新战线。这个时机总能被我军把握住，及时向其发动冲锋，他们无一例外地被击溃。
-- 蒙托隆伯爵 《拿破仑被囚禁中的回忆录》第四卷

对比一下威灵顿拿战十余年后评英国骑兵:
我认为我们的骑兵在纪律上和法国骑兵差太远，因此我认为，虽然我们一个中队可以匹敌法国两个中队，但四个就无法对战人家四个了，因为数量越多，组织纪律要求越重要。我绝不会在兵力不占尽优势情形下让我的人冒险。

Two Mamelukes would keep three Frenchmen at bay because they are better armed, better mounted, better drilled, and have two pairs of pistols, a blunderbuss, a carbine, a helmet with visor, a coat of mail, several horses, and several footmen to serve them. But 100 French cavalry need not fear 100 Mamelukes, 300 would not fear 400 Mamelukes, 600 would not fear 900, and ten squadrons would put 2,000 Mamelukes to flight—such is the controlling influence of tactics, formation, and of the drill evolutions!
两个马穆鲁克可以抵挡三个法军，因为马穆鲁克武器更好、马匹更好、训练更好，拥有两双手枪、一支喇叭枪、一支卡宾枪、一顶有面甲的头盔、一副锁子甲、几匹战马以及几个协助他的步兵。但100名法军骑兵无需害怕100名马穆鲁克，300不用怕400，600不用怕900，十个中队就能赶跑2000名马穆鲁克——这就是战术、队形、机动训练的支配性影响！
[In Egypt] the cavalry generals Murat, Lasalle, and Leclerc appeared before the Mamelukes in three lines and a reserve; just as the first line was at the verge of being outflanked the second moved forward by squadron to the right and to the left into line. The Mamelukes stopped abruptly to outflank this second line, which, as soon as it was extended by the third, charged them. They could not stand up against the shock and they dispersed.

马穆鲁克不是奴隶的意思吗，待遇这么好！

穆拉德贝伊和伊仆拉欣贝伊这两个倒霉蛋撞在了拿破仑的头上了。可能是在当地剥削人民不亦乐乎，毫无组织性。奥斯曼帝国为何在失去埃及的无奈下成为法国盟友？

马穆鲁克辉煌的时候可是击败过不可一世的蒙古骑兵，好像拿破仑的卫队里也有马穆鲁克

吊

一对一，十对十；百对百，千对千——封建骑军主要是强在骑士滴个体素质，以其自身精湛娴熟滴格斗技巧与精良完善之武备为雄厚资本，只要迫使对方陷入持续缠斗滴局面则将能够越发滴突显出其之独到优势；然而近代骑军则倚仗滴是整个团体滴凝聚力，更多滴是将严明纪律下结成之紧密阵型所汇聚而成滴强大力量爆发于一击之下，从而达到瞬间摧毁对手战力与意志滴效果…
