Chapter 590: A New Tactic for Cavalry
The transfer of the two Xin Nen, who are still pleasing to the eye, and whose personal ability is also reasonable, into his own pro-military camp is just a trivial matter for Gao Yuan, and it is really not worth mentioning, he turned his head and forgot about it, and went to inspect a newly trained cavalry with Helan Yan, which reminded him of the past a few years ago, at that time, but he was still helping the wind, he was still a small county lieutenant, and his first cavalry was also trained by this woman.
It's something to be happy about.
But what happened next made Gao Yuan dumbfounded, but also extremely excited, that was the latest cavalry trained by He Lanyan himself.
Gao Yuan needed cavalry, but he didn't want to rely too much on the Huns, he wanted to make his cavalry ranks, the proportion of the Huns and the Central Plains people reach a certain balance, so as to ensure the stability of this army, and now, the Hun cavalry almost dominates the entire Eastern Cavalry, which in Gao Yuan's view, is an unstable factor.
But the cavalry is not like the infantry can be mass-produced in a short period of time, it is too difficult to want a mature cavalry, in the past, when Fufeng, Helan Yan completely trained the Fufeng cavalry in accordance with the model of the Hun cavalry, and thus gave birth to such outstanding cavalry generals as the infantry, and the infantry of the cavalry also grew up after a year or two of conquest, but now, obviously does not have such conditions.
Time does not occupy the high side.
Gao Yuan's thoughts did not hide from He Lanyan, but calmly expressed his worries to He Lanyan, and as a Huns, Helanyan did not flash anger after hearing Gao Yuan's distrust of the Huns hidden in her heart, but these angers were then extinguished by herself.
She is now not only the princess of the Huns, but also the wife of the general of Zhengdong, and when she looks at the problem, she will naturally stand on a higher height. Gao Yuan is right, if you want long-term peace and stability, if you want the Huns to not be suspicious in the system of the Eastern Army, and to coexist peacefully with the Central Plains, then it is necessary to maintain balance.
This is not discrimination, it is prevention, but it is necessary. As the princess of the Helan clan and at the top of the food chain for a long time, Helan Yan is no stranger to things on politics. Cao Tiancheng's fading expedition to the high-level of Dongfu is a living example, like Cao Tiancheng, who was the first to follow Gao Yuan, and the old man who made great military achievements, had to make sacrifices, not to mention the Huns.
Gao Yuan's thoughts and subsequent actions, she didn't tell her brother, but she believed that her brother must have understood this problem a long time ago, like Gongsun Yi who is now beheading the Eastern Army. Lolei, Helian Po and others all pointed to one theme, that is, to build several other hills among the Huns. Compete with Helan Xiong, the banner of the Huns.
This is a precaution, a check and balance, and a guarantee of security.
Helan Yan took over Gao Yuan's task, and in a short period of time. He developed a completely new cavalry tactic. And now, Gao Yuan is watching her painstaking work.
On the vast grassland, a cavalry of more than 400 people. Lined up in a twenty by twenty phalanx, each war horse is separated by less than a horse body in the transverse direction, and there is only one horse body distance in the longitudinal direction, this distance, in the infantry queue, is a great flaw, but in the galloping cavalry queue, it can almost be seen shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand.
At this time, this phalanx of more than 400 people maintained a neat queue, and the special spears in their hands poked forward, like a moving steel forest.
"This, this is a phalanx of infantry on the move!" Gao Yuan blurted out, his eyes flashing with surprise. He Lanyan glanced at him proudly, she believed that with her lofty ability, when she saw this fast-moving phalanx, she already understood its purpose.
A sharp whistle sounded in the queue, the advancing phalanx began to turn, half of the queue began to slow down, the other half kept the original speed unchanged, the whole phalanx, it seemed to be around a huge central axis, just like this, in front of Gao Yuan, completed the ninety-degree turn, sprinted forward again, and then changed the formation to turn to the sprint, in a short period of time, this cavalry phalanx completely reversed direction.
Gao Yuan became a little excited, looked at this brand-new cavalry, and said loudly: "Crush, this cavalry, if it encounters any army of Donghu, it can be completely crushed." How did you do that? ”
He looked at He Lanyan and asked.
He Lanyan laughed, his hard work was not in vain, just seeing Gao Yuan's excited look now, he understood the value of this army, Gao Yuan is a general who has fought bloody battles with the Donghu soldiers for many years, and has an absolute understanding of the strength of the Donghu people.
"If you want to train these recruits in a short period of time to be able to compete with the Donghu cavalry like a single soldier, it is completely impossible, since it is impossible to do it alone, you can only think of a way in the team, what one person can't do, ten people can't do it?"
"But it is countless times more difficult to train cavalry to be like this than to train infantry into a neat phalanx formation!" Gao Yuan sighed.
"Therefore, guys like Mei Hua and Wu Ya who are excellent in personal equestrianism can't stay here."
"What is this for?"
"Their skills are excellent, in the battle, it is very likely to break out of the military formation, even if it is only half of the horse's head, it is possible to destroy the whole, therefore, the riding skills of these cavalry are basically on a level line, and those who stand out can not stay in it, even if it is a war horse, it has been strictly selected, the temper must be docile, easy to control, and the foot strength is not much different, like you guys who want to find a different divine horse and war horse, in this cavalry, it is absolutely not good."
Gao Yuan touched his nose, and finally figured out the key here, such a cavalry is a whole, and there is no room for the storage of rafters. But if this were not the case, I am afraid that it would not be possible to train such an army.
"Even so, it is an extremely difficult thing to practice like this, and it is hard for you." Gao Yuan looked at He Lanyan's black and red face gratefully, this black, but it was all sunburned in the sun, thinking about He Lanyan's appearance of desperately rubbing powder on her face before, her heart couldn't help but flow through a burst of heat.
"Isn't your business my business? What's there to be thankful for? He Lanyan glanced at Gao Yuan. This glance is full of autumn waves, extremely charming, Gao Yuan only feels that half of his body is crisp under this glance.
"I'm going to the Hetao soon, and I'm going to take your cavalry with me." Gao Yuan said happily, "With this cavalry, I have a lot of confidence." ”
"Are you going to the Loop? Also, Sun Xiao's ability to command a large corps to fight is indeed a little insufficient, he is stronger in the work of reclamation, and the Hetao is a place where there is no room for loss. It's just that you're going, I'm afraid that you won't be able to return to Jishi City in a short time! He Lanyan didn't feel any surprise, but she was still stunned, "This cavalry was originally prepared for your trip to the Hetao, of course they have to follow you." ”
"Why, don't you want to go and see your hard work on the battlefield? Don't you want to see them beating up the Donghu people on the battlefield? Takato looked at her with a smile.
"What did you say?" He Lanyan almost didn't believe her ears, "You mean, I can follow you to the Hetao?" ”
"Why not. You're a general right away, follow me to the Hetao, isn't it just right to show what you're good at? "High and far-reaching.
"That's great!" Helan Yan cheered, but immediately. She seemed to remember something again, and her face fell again, "Does your lady know that I'm going?" Will she have any ideas? Will you be unhappy? She's been six or seven months old now, if she's angry about it. Jiang Jiaquan, those old men, I'm afraid that they will come to me to jump. ”
"Don't worry, Jing'er knows about this. Totally agree. Of course, Gao Yuan would not tell He Lanyan that Ye Jing'er brought up this matter, in other words, He Lanyan would be happier.
"She's always so reasonable!" He Lanyan frowned, "Every time I see her, I feel like I owe her something, so that I can't raise my head in front of her, Gao Yuan, I can make it clear to you, even if I marry you in the future, I will not live in your general's mansion, and I will be uncomfortable when I meet Jing'er every day." ”
"She's putting so much pressure on you?" Gao Yuan looked her up and down, "This is not like my swallow in a hurry!" ”
"You know what?" He Lanyan rolled her eyes, "If she tries to make things difficult for me and doesn't wait to see me, maybe she can arouse my fighting spirit, and she has to share the victory with her, but her current appearance makes me naturally feel sorry for her, hum, you lady, is not as soft and weak as her appearance, she is looking at my temperament and prescribing the right medicine!" ”
Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, Ye Jing'er is naturally not the little girl who didn't understand anything in Fufeng County before, and Helan sex, this windy and fiery temperament, doesn't she have a seven-trick exquisite heart, they all say that the blessings of Qi people are easy to enjoy, but the ups and downs here are only known by the people who enjoy the blessings.
Early the next morning, Mei Hua and Wu Ya, who came out of the cavalry training camp, came to the station of the guard battalion with a worried heart, and did not see the head of the guard battalion, Guan Hong, a captain of the guard battalion received them, looking at the strange smile that the corner of the captain's mouth pulled, the two instinctively felt a little uneasy.
"You are the two new tenders that the Shangguan battalion commander said were going to report today?" The lieutenant's voice was very soft, "I heard that it was ordered by the governor himself, which is rare, and it is the first time that our guard battalion has such a new tender joining." ”
Hearing these soft but meaningful words, both of them had a creepy feeling, Mei Hua leaned up, shook the captain's hand, and said in a low voice: "Captain, what are the rules of this guard battalion, and I hope to inform us, so as not to suffer as soon as we come." ”
The lieutenant felt that there was a hard object in his hand, and when he raised his hand to look, it was a piece of silver weighing five taels, and the smile on his face was even bigger, and he threw the silver up and down, "Yo, I can't see it, you are so sensible, well, the arrival of the recruits is indeed a bit of a talk, you two are assigned to the second team of the third row of the first company, I will send the two of you to report in person, if there is anything to say, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”
Mei Hua couldn't help but be overjoyed, and glanced back at Wu Ya, which meant that look, the silver still works, and the captain personally went to send us off to report, and those veterans should also give some face. (To be continued......)
