Chapter 134: Sharpening the Sword
Horses of different colors galloped slowly in front of Gao Yuan, and each soldier who passed Gao Yuan would volley the sword in his hand in the air to greet their leader.
The war horse gradually accelerated, a hundred cavalry head and tail connected, running faster and faster, between each war horse, the distance is only one meter away, such a distance, such a horse speed, is an extremely dangerous thing, because any war horse has an accident, will bring sudden danger to the followers behind, once the avoidance is not in time, it will cause a domino-like reaction.
In Gao Yuan's nervous expression, a hundred war horses formed a circle, constantly rotating counterclockwise.
"Beautiful! Gao Yuan couldn't help but applaud, this is nothing in the eyes of the Xiongnu and Donghu people, but in the Central Plains, it is very unusual to have a cavalry team to make such a tactical move.
"What is this, you see, and what! He Lanyan pursed her lips and smiled.
Not far away, the infantry a horse protruded, the war horse held high, split several times, from the gap where the infantry drove out, a left and a right two cavalry side by side, just the circle in the blink of an eye, has become a two-way column, galloping on the grassland, the war horse is like the wind, the sword light is like snow, a wave of knives is drawn on the grassland, accompanied by the sound of the soldiers' loud shouts, there is a dignified murderous gush out.
After several clashes, the infantry once again took the lead, coming straight in the direction of Gao Yuan, and behind him, two columns were straight, and with the infantry's swords raised, like a thick tree trunk, suddenly countless branches grew, and small groups of cavalry separated from the main trunk, forming one small circle after another.
"Awesome! Although Gao Yuan is not very familiar with cavalry combat, he only needs to look at the changes in the formation of the infantry, and he knows that this is an extremely powerful routine in cavalry combat.
"Of course, this is the most important concentrated liliang breakthrough in cavalry operations, and once a breakthrough is formed, it will immediately be interspersed with encirclement and division. Cut the enemy apart and annihilate it." He Lanyan said with a smile, "This is the most common tactic used by our Hun cavalry, and it has been tried and tested repeatedly."
"I didn't think that in less than a month, you would be able to train them so well, it seems that I, the head of the sect, really did not make a mistake," Gao Yuan sighed.
"Of course you're not wrong, but Gao Yuan, don't be too complacent, they are still just a shelf now, if they really want to use it as they want on the battlefield, how can it be too far behind, they haven't experienced a few actual battles, and encountered some sudden difficulties to test their adaptability, they are far from being a powerful cavalry."
"It's already very good." Gao Yuan smiled: "Now opposite us, there is the powerful Donghu cavalry, is it possible that you still expect them to become the main force in battle?" I don't want me to work hard to train a cavalry, and I will be lost in a battle, they are seeds, they are sparks, and I still point to them to set me on fire, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."
He Lanyan glanced at Gao Yuan, "Your ambition is really not small, but Gao Yuan, don't underestimate them too much, the discipline of your cavalry is the strongest I have ever seen, much stronger than our Hun cavalry, some time ago, when you were away, they were often in danger during training, or bumped together, or fell off their horses, but the people behind simply ignored the danger in front of them, and still rode straight up, for which I also reprimanded them, but do you know how they answered me?" "
"How so? "
"They said, "You have taught them that when the call to charge sounds, even if there is a mountain of fire and a mountain of swords and a thousand cliffs in front of them, they must face the difficulties without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest hesitation, so even if their companions fall, they must not stop, because once they stop, There will be more people falling." He Lanyan shook her head and said: "This kind of thinking makes the training dangerous, but it also forces every soldier to pay 10,000 times more care in the training, because of this method, the training will also make human lives at any time.
Gao Yuan nodded slightly, looking at the cavalry team on the grassland in the distance, and felt extremely relieved in his heart, the concept of discipline that he had instilled in them all the time since he entered this army had finally begun to reap the results.
This is true of the cavalry, and the same is true of the foot soldiers, who are the backbone of a strong army, and with them, the hope of building a strong army on their own is possible.
"Their riding skills and horse fighting have basically passed, and then there is the question of proficiency makes perfect, in the next stage, I am going to train them in the art of running and shooting, you have more than 100 cavalry, only the infantry is more skilled, and the Genthals are shooting on horses, basically aimless, this is more difficult, it may take more time." Helan Yan said.
"Well, the last thing we need is time, don't we? Gao Yuan smiled: "Take your time, don't be in a hurry, you can't become fat in one bite, I'd rather slow down, but also let them practice better, you have to be hard to strike iron, and if you practice your skills well, in the future, on the battlefield, the chances of survival will increase exponentially."
"Ten years to sharpen a sword, Gao Yuan, how long are you going to spend sharpening your sword? He Lanyan asked.
"I wouldn't be in a hurry if it took ten years, we're still young, aren't we? Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"But my brother used to say, 'Time is running out! Helan Yan said.
"If you want to hurry, you can't get there! Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "When it's time to stop, you should stop, practice your internal skills diligently, and when you should move, you must make a splash."
"You have a point, we are still very weak now, whether it is the Donghu people, or most of the Huns, if they really aim the spearhead at us, we really can't deal with it, Gao Yuan, you too, according to you, now is the time for us to sting, right? "
"You're right, it's time to lie dormant for a while." Gao Yuan turned his head to look in the direction of Curie Pass, "If you don't make a sound, it's just a blockbuster, when the world looks at us with admiration, we are no longer a weak seedling that can be broken by them at any time, but has grown a thick tree pole, whoever wants to cut us down, we have to be prepared to break their knife, at that time, it is the time for us to dominate."
"I'll tell my brother about you, sometimes I think he's too anxious," He Lanyan said thoughtfully.
As he spoke, the infantry had completed their drills, and the cavalry rushed over from a distance, forming a neat cavalry phalanx more than ten meters in front of Gao Yuan.
"Lord County Lieutenant, the Fufeng Cavalry has completed the drill, please give me advice." The infantry turned over and dismounted, strode in front of Gao Yuan, clenched his left hand into a fist, slammed the leather armor on his right breast, and said loudly.
"Good, good! Gao Yuan took a step forward, punched the infantry heavily, and raised his head, "Brothers, they all say that Shibei is three days, when you look at each other, you not only impress me, but also make me almost fall out of my eyeballs."
With a bang, more than 100 cavalrymen coaxed the hall, laughing, with great pride.
"In order to reward the hard work of the brothers, tonight, add food, kill sheep, kill cattle, and in addition, today I will make an exception, and allow everyone to drink, one pound per person, so that everyone can have a good time." Gao Yuan waved his hands and said loudly.
"Thank you, Lord Prefectural! The soldiers were suddenly pleasantly surprised, in the army, now the food is not to say, compared to the average family is much better, Curie has raised so many cattle and sheep, meat is never lacking, and according to the lofty mandatory regulations, everyone must also drink a bowl of fresh milk or goat's milk every day, from the beginning of the unaccustomed, to the current habit, these soldiers have begun to experience the benefits, everyone's body has grown stronger, with enough nutrition to ensure that the amount of training is getting bigger and bigger, But the physical reaction is getting smaller and smaller. The protruding angular muscles in each person's body are the most rewarding for Gao Yuan's painstaking management from the beginning.
But wine is still forbidden in the army, there is wine in the camp, but you can't drink it at all, you can only watch drooling, one pound per person, enough for everyone to have a good time.
"Let's go, let's go home! Turning over the horse, he stretched out his hand and pulled Helan Yan up, Gao Yuan waved his hand, and shouted loudly.
It was night, Curie turned off the lights brightly, on the school field, more than a dozen bonfires were lit, there were shelves on the face, a slaughtered sheep was hung on the top, roasted with a sizzling sound, the fragrance was overflowing, the soldiers spread the felt carpet on the ground, in front of them, there were sea bowls one by one, in the bowl were pieces of burnt yellow beef and mutton, still bubbling with oil beads, a jar of wine opened the lid, and the field thundered with joy.
This was the first time they had celebrated on such a large scale, firstly, after a belated celebration banquet, after annihilating the Hutu tribe and capturing Latobe alive, because Gao Yuan then followed Lu Hong to Liaoxi City, this celebration banquet dragged on, and secondly, it was also to celebrate Gao Yuan's appointment as the lieutenant of Fufeng County, as their direct leader, Gao Yuan's promotion also meant that everyone here would rise. The atmosphere in the field is one round after another.
As the leader here, Gao Yuan is naturally the main object of congratulations and toasts, Gao Yuan drinks a lot of wine, and those who come do not refuse, and the other one who is saluted is He Lanyan, and the people who toast her are mainly from the infantry cavalry. She didn't have such good luck, the banquet was not half of the time, the bold Helanyan was already spinning, and fell headlong on Gao Yuan's body, she didn't want to go back, so she took the earth as the seat, the earth and the sky as the quilt, and Gao Yuan's thighs as the pillow, so she fell asleep soundly with the starry sky.
