cavalry
含义: Soldiers who fight on horseback, or in modern military usage, units that use armoured vehicles for rapid, mobile warfare.
Cavalry played a decisive role in warfare for millennia, providing speed, shock value, and reconnaissance. In the British Army, historic cavalry regiments such as the Household Cavalry and the Blues and Royals continue to serve, now equipped with armoured vehicles. The figurative phrase 'the cavalry's arrived' means help has come at a critical moment. Note: 'cavalry' (soldiers) is often confused with 'Calvary' (the hill where Jesus was crucified).
