Chapter Twenty-Five: Cavalry, Cavalry!
Liang Ji tied himself to his war horse and walked for a day, everyone knew that his thighs had been worn out, and blood soaked through the thick cotton pants, which was not surprising, and others were like this.
When they dismounted, they invariably chose a piece of soft sand, and then planted down from the horse, this is the most comfortable way to dismount, since Zhao Gongshan suppressed the bandits, the Jiazi battalion is not used to screaming or moaning after being injured, and those who can move begin to find firewood to make a fire to cook and set up a tent, although this needs to be carried out with crossed legs, the efficiency is not slow.
Yun Zheng's riding skills are much better than them, and he doesn't comfort those sergeants, there is no need for this, the people in Jiazi Camp are all a family, and they know what they should do at this time.
After a day of running, his body was very overdrawn, Yun Zheng held a sharp small axe, chopped large pieces of frozen mutton into palm-sized pieces, and kept throwing them into the cauldron, Xiaolin took out a lot of flatbread from the carriage, put branches on the cakes, and waited for the sergeant to come and get them, so that they could roast the cakes on the fire and eat them.
There is no way to pay more attention to the food during the march, but the mutton soup is mixed with dried vegetables, plus cakes, for a certain purpose, Yun Zheng specially made a big bowl of noodles for Princess Kui Ming, and you can see green vegetables on it, the breath of the princess needs to be cultivated.
Princess Kui Ming was very satisfied with the preferential treatment she received, only Ge Qiuyan was very dissatisfied with this.
"If you want to eat noodles, do it yourself, you should have ridden with us, but you chose to make a car, don't blame us if you can't keep up when you run for your life."
"One Bliss Pill for a bowl of noodles!" Ge Qiuyan raised his eyebrows, a little proud.
Yun Zheng put down the mutton soup in his hand, stomped on the open space between Ge Qiuyan's legs with an axe, and then continued to tear the cake into the soup bowl without looking at Ge Qiuyan's iron-blue face.
"This is my team, and everyone here is going to listen to me. Including you Ge Qiuyan, by now, Gao Tansheng may have entered Western Xia, right? The large forces of your Maitreya Sect must have also entered Western Xia, and at this time. My status is more important than yours, give me the Pill of Bliss, and then go and eat your mutton soup honestly, and next time you dare to threaten me, I will break you to pieces! ”
As soon as Ge Qiuyan's wrist flipped, the long sword came out of its sheath, pointed at Yun Zheng and said, "You dare?" ”
Yun Zheng pointed to the strong crossbow that was already aimed at Ge Qiuyan in the hands of the Han Niu and the monkey next to him, and spread out his hand and asked her to ask for the Bliss Pill, Ge Qiuyan's face changed several times, and she suddenly found out. If she didn't give Yun Zheng the Bliss Pill, those two guys would really detain the motive, and she had seen enough of Yun Zheng's domineering along the way.
The Bliss Pill will only have an effect if Yun Zheng eats it, and it is useless to keep it in his hands, so after thinking about it, he put a brocade box on Yun Zheng's spread hand. He kicked over the soup bowl at his feet and walked away.
Yun Zheng was not angry, put the brocade box in his arms, and ate his own mutton soup and steamed buns.
Jiaoluo stood on the hill, looked at the Karochuan in front of him, and whispered: "Karochuan, Karochuan, how many good men do you have to devour Qingtang before you want to give up?" ”
Karogawa was silent, only the wind blew in the distance. Rolling up the dust all the way to the west, this is a barren land, the ground is full of white flowers and salt, the horse's hooves step on the rolled ground, like stepping on a delicious pot, this is a piece of land that blood can not make it fertile.
The end of the Karo River. It was an army that did not hide the deceit, and the camp made of giant trees looked majestic, and it was from there that the wind blew. Since he had already occupied the convenience of the tailwind, Kakuro knew that he could only occupy the advantage of the shunshui, and it was the best policy to prepare the sackcloth in advance to guard against the dust.
But he was surprised. The soldiers didn't wait for him to give an order, one by one they took out a large piece of the so-called Hada from their arms, and covered it on their mouths and noses, the silk cloth that Yun Zheng sold to the Qingtang people was the worst kind, thin and transparent, this was originally an ironclad proof that Gong Feng complained about Yun Zheng's greed, and now it seems that the Qingtang people are not wronged in buying Hada, and the northwest battle is dusty at every turn, and it can't be seen, and it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to have this thing to cover the dust.
Qingyi Jiegui Zhang respectfully dedicated a bunch of white Hada to Jiao Guluo, Dong Yu personally helped his father put Hada on his face, the world in front of Jiao Gu Luo became foggy, and it was already a blessing to be able to open his eyes when the sand was flying in the sky.
"Next time, tell the merchants in Shu that only the white Hada is allowed to enter Qingtang!" Jiao Luo said to Dong Yu.
"I like the red ones!" Qingyi Jie Ghost Chapter muttered quietly, but was whipped on the armor by Jiao Guluo, and then he shrank his head and shut up, Ah Da in front of the army is not allowed to be questioned.
The company camps of the Qingtang people began to spread all over the Yellow River, and the Yellow River in winter was clear and cold, and the amount of water was small, and it was as gentle as a virgin, and it was completely impossible to see the crazy appearance of the roar of a wild beast in summer.
"Ah Da, we should build bridges over the river, we need at least three, the left flank is very unfavorable to us, and our cavalry has less space for movement."
"We don't need to defend the left side either, after the strength of the right side is thickened, it just happens to hit the opponent's weak left flank, silly boy, how did you remember to build a bridge over the river?" ”
Qingyi Jiegui Zhang said embarrassedly: "Yun Zheng piled up the terrain of the Kaluo River on the ground, I was a party member, he attacked and defended it as a Qingtang person, and found that these three bridges are very useful, when the war is unfavorable, the reinforcements can come quickly from the bridge, and at the worst time, he can narrow the defensive circle to the minimum, from the formation along the river to the formation across the river, the most important thing is that once the war is stalemate, with these three bridges, our grain will not have to go to Dawangchuan, directly from the other side of the river, not only safe, but also fast." ”
I couldn't see the change in the expression of the white-gauzed masked Jiaoluo, but Dong Yu found that his father's breathing became a little shorter, so he heard his father ask Qingyi Jie Ghost Chapter again: "Are you defeated?" ”
Qingyi Jie Ghost Zhang laughed and said: "How can I be defeated, that guy doesn't know how to use cavalry at all, ambush a cavalry in the mountains, and raid me, I said this is a military order to cut off the head, he still doesn't believe it, as a result, we took a cavalry to the mountains to actually test it, he admitted that the cavalry was too slow to catch up with the changes in the battlefield, and was completely annihilated by me, laughing at me, someone in the world would put the cavalry in the mountains...... Hahahaha"
Not only was Qingyi Ghost Zhang laughing, but Dong Yu, who had always been strict, also opened his mouth in shock, and the generals behind Jiao Guluo were even more laughing, unanimously believing that the Han people were only worthy of using infantry to fight.
The corners of Kakuro's mouth grinned and he asked, "Did you suffer a lot of damage in the end of your battle?" ”
When asked about this, Qingyi was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "In the end, I defeated, but the casualties of my subordinates were very heavy, and that guy was defeated, but the casualties were similar to mine." ”
"Why?" Kakuro continued to ask.
"He always has some strange things coming out, such as digging pits in the ground, very small pits, digging a lot, the horse's hooves will break when they sink in, and he will dig a lot of big ditches, when the cavalry crosses the big ditch, this big ditch will catch fire, blocking the entry of the subsequent cavalry, he can calmly shoot the cavalry with a strong crossbow, and when the fire is extinguished, my cavalry can follow up again.
He also said that cavalry is actually a very fragile class, except for the speed of the cavalry, there is no other benefit, as long as the speed of the cavalry is limited, a group of infantry can easily use spears to kill the cavalry that cannot run.
The boy didn't believe it, so he asked his men to take spears tied with white and gray cloth against the boy's cavalry, and when the cavalry was surrounded, the damage was very great......"
Jiao Luo laughed and said: "Of course, the existence of a country has the reason for his survival, the Great Song Dynasty has been founded for a hundred years, and their foot soldiers have been fighting with the cavalry of the Liao State for a hundred years, if they don't even have this ability, they would have been destroyed a long time ago, Yun Zheng is just hitting your confidence, don't worry!" ”
Dong Yu heard other meanings from his father's words, and couldn't help but clench his long knife, the next time they met, he would kill Yun Zheng no matter what.
"Qingyi Ghost Chapter, since you mentioned building a bridge, but you don't know how your friend told you how to build a bridge?"
Qingyi Ghost Zhang smiled: "Said, it's very simple, you only need to blow up the sheepskin bag and tie it to the shelf, nine sheepskin bags as a group, and a bridge will appear at the end of the disaster, but such a bridge is only suitable for infantry to cross the river, and if the cavalry wants to cross the river, they need a larger sheepskin raft, and they also need to lay wooden planks in the middle."
The child has already tried it, and it works, but it's bumpy. ”
Jiao Guluo looked at the Yellow River, which was only eight hundred steps wide in winter, and after thinking about it, he ordered Qingyi Jieguizhang to be responsible for building three pontoon bridges here, and it was not a bad thing for the army to have one more way to retreat.
When Yun Zheng felt that the Kaluo River, Qingyi had already begun to build a bridge, and he put the team outside the range of the Jiaoluo sentinel and waited for the results of the investigation by Orion and Hanlin.
Large-scale cavalry combat experience is very important to Yun Zheng, he needs to witness a big battle with his own eyes to make an evaluation, but unfortunately, there is no telescope, otherwise he can see the battle situation clearly on the big black mountain on the left.
After learning the news that Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter to build a bridge, Yun Zheng only hoped that he didn't hide the false Pang and didn't have the habit of setting fire to the boat along the river, otherwise, how could he start building bridges in the upper reaches of the Yellow River while still under the control of others?
There are horned sentries in the Great Black Mountain, Yun Zheng is not surprised by this, when the army is fighting, if the commander does not know the wind and grass within three hundred miles, he is not a qualified commander.
And three hundred miles is precisely the farthest assault distance of the Western Xia cavalry when they ride three horses!
