The time came to the end of September of the second year of the Han Dynasty.

The tail of the autumn harvest is still going on, and this year's Han Kingdom is another bumper harvest.

Except for the grain production in Chudi, which has dropped due to the war, the rest of the country has a better harvest than last year.

Although the final statistics have not yet been seen, the results are visible to the naked eye.

The whole Han Kingdom is busy.

And not just for the autumn harvest.

Or for the new emperor to ascend the throne a month later.

The State of Qi fell, and it was difficult for the Yan State to continue to support alone, so when the Han envoy arrived in the Yan Kingdom, Han Guang, the king of Yan, had to lower his arrogant head.

Yan Guo couldn't stop it, and Yan Guo didn't dare to stop it.

The surrender ceremonies of Qi and Yan were placed on the enthronement ceremony as the first gift of the new emperor to the throne.

A good harvest, a victory, and a new emperor ascends the throne.

One good news after another kept coming out.

The folk are also a piece of laughter.

Last month, news also came from the Ministry of War.

The Han army is about to be restructured, except for the troops who are now stationed in various places continue to be on duty and wait for orders.

All the other armies were disbanded and returned home.

There are more than 500,000 troops who have returned directly to their hometowns, and these more than 500,000 are all elite laborers.

These people also played a crucial role in the autumn harvest.

The government is overloaded, and the people are overloaded.

is very different from the outside world, but in Han Xin's house, this kind of busy phenomenon cannot be seen.

The mansion is big, but there are not many people.

The servants came and went cautiously every day, not daring to make any big noise.

And Han Xin's daily life is also very regular, after getting up in the morning and eating, he will go into the study to read.

When I was tired, I went to the yard to practice martial arts to relieve fatigue, and then continued to read.

Sometimes they open their doors to welcome guests, but these guests are not normal guests.

Most of them were ordinary soldiers, with the occasional high-ranking officer or two.

Most of the discussions between the guests and hosts were about cavalry combat.

After more than a month of sorting and discussion.

Han Xin preliminarily sorted out a plan for the formation of a cavalry unit.

Han Shin is a smart person, both IQ and EQ are online.

So after the plan was sorted out, the first thing he looked for was not King Han, but the baby.

Bingbu!

Guan Ying carefully read every word on this plan, and basically didn't have much opinion on the whole.

But he still has a different opinion on some details.

"For the nomads who need to run and fight from time to time, can the heavy cavalry keep up with such a long distance?" Baby Irrigation asked.

Although he was busy with the affairs of the Ministry of War, he was busy with internal reforms.

But Guan Ying will also take the time to learn about the situation of the herdsmen, so after seeing Han Xin actually list the heavy cavalry, there is a problem.

"General, the number of heavy cavalry does not need too much, three thousand is enough, if the war horse is insufficient, it can be reduced as appropriate, heavy cavalry has a vital role in dividing the enemy army." Han Shin explained.

Of course, he knew that going to the steppe to fight with heavy cavalry would have a great impact.

Therefore, when configuring war horses, ordinary troops are equipped with one person and three horses, while heavy cavalry troops are equipped with one person and five horses.

A main war horse, which does not carry any weight along the way, runs in the air, and guarantees combat effectiveness at any time.

The other four horses carried equipment, grain and grass, and personnel.

"This configuration is not possible in the early stage!" The baby shook his head directly.

It is not certain how many war horses there are now, and there has been no news from Lu Jia's side until now.

Even if Lu Jia can get a lot of war horses, as the main force in the future, the development of the Han army must be in a short period of time, so that more soldiers can learn and skillfully use cavalry combat techniques.

This is crucial.

Only with enough people can we guarantee the expansion of the army at any time.

Thinking of this, Guan Ying continued: "You solve the problem of the shortage of war horses in the early stage, and you need to let more soldiers learn to fight cavalry, and at the same time form a cavalry unit, and go directly to the king after figuring it out, I'm afraid I won't have time to go north in a year or two." ”

"No!" Han Xin nodded slightly.

This is indeed a big problem, his plan is very detailed, but he did not deploy the lack of war horses in the early stage.

As for the war horse, the biggest deployment is probably just such a line.

According to the number of horses, the size of the cavalry unit is decided.

Han Xin thought slightly.

He felt that these problems were not his main responsibility, and as a general, he just had to come up with a feasible plan.

There are many soldiers and there are many soldiers, and there are few soldiers and few soldiers are played.

As for military training, it doesn't seem to have much impact.

So, Han Xin went out directly and turned left, and soon came to the council hall and saw Wang Buxing, who was dealing with official business in a lazy way.

Seeing Han Xin, Wang Buxing temporarily stopped handling official business.

glanced at the plan handed over by Han Xin, waved his hand back, and closed the door of the palace.

Take it seriously.

I have to say that Han Xin's cavalry formation plan, which took more than a month to build, is still very interesting.

"Why did the personnel choose that?" Seeing the personnel question, Wang Bu was not hungry and asked directly.

Han Xin made the opposite of the selection conditions of the infantry, usually the infantry is selected, and the preference is given to those who are thick and tall.

The shield soldiers that have recently emerged are also the largest people in each of the ranks to be responsible, as well as some of the more powerful troops.

"Your Majesty, for cavalry, being thin has greater advantages, one is that the weight is lighter, and it will be more labor-saving for war horses, which can also ensure that we can carry more materials and go farther."

"Second, the thin warriors are relatively more flexible, and they are not as good as the ground in immediate combat, and the space for the warriors to move is relatively small, so they need more flexibility to make up for it, and the minister asked some soldiers who have been to the north, and they responded that the size of the steppe people is generally stronger and fatter than us, so in this regard, we should use skill and not strength."

"Third, being thin does not mean that the strength is inferior to the opponent, cavalry combat, in fact, it is more about the reasonable use of one's own strength, and more with the impact of war horses."

Han Xin explained the problem one by one.

Wang Bu is not hungry and keeps nodding his head, which does make sense.

If the war horse can't do it, reduce the load as much as possible to increase the combat radius.

Thin personnel have the advantage of thin personnel, and cavalry also needs medicine to adapt to local conditions.

Where can I find so many tall people who are 1.8 meters tall?

If you only admit this dead reason, will this battle still be fought?

"Weapons have to be changed, too!" Wang Bu said suddenly.

"Weapons?" Han Xin was stunned.

"Yes, weapons, Lone has ordered the arsenal workshop to build, this time our soldiers have to replace all iron weapons, when using straight swords in the past, the lethality caused by the slash is not as expected, although the speed of the war horse can directly pierce the enemy in armor, but the wrists of the soldiers are very easy to break, with the current weapons to fight the Huns, that is a lose-lose situation."

As he spoke, Wang Buxing took out a piece of silk cloth and directly took a pen and drew a few rough lines on the cloth.

If he doesn't explain, I'm afraid that Wang Bu is hungry and he won't be able to understand what this painting is.

Stretching out his hand to beckon Han Xin over, he pointed to the painting on the silk cloth and said: "This is the hilt of the sword, there is a subtle arc at the upper third of the sword, and when you swing it, you can use this arc to increase the size of the wound, and it can also be used for straight stabs!" ”

Han Xin looked at this new sword that was not too arcious, and said that it was not straight, and that it was not bent.

I can't say anything special in my heart, I haven't seen it, and I haven't used it.

It's hard to imagine his effect from this picture.

For this new guy, Han Shin remained silent for the time being.

The replacement of weapons is not an easy task, including the familiarization of soldiers and so on.

However, Wang Buxing is more aware than Han Xin, and now the weapons between Han and Hungary are different.

Historically, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was still very difficult when he fought against the Xiongnu in the early stage.

In addition to the insufficient number of cavalry troops, there was also a great disadvantage in terms of weapons.

The Han army mostly used short swords, and the spear was not as useful in cavalry combat as imagined, and its greatest significance lies in the moment of sprinting.

After penetrating deep into the enemy's formation, it is necessary to switch to short sword combat.

However, the short swords of the Han army were basically made of copper.

Compared with iron, his hardness is not enough, so when fighting, the Han army's weapons have always suffered great losses.

On the other hand, the Huns used a big-fisted knife, and the advantage of this knife is that with a knife, it can use the speed of the war horse to quickly cut a larger opening.

Don't think about scratching the skin or something, you can let the cavalryman's knife fall on you, at least the kind that sees the bones.

A large amount of blood will be lost instantaneously and it will soon be fatal.

And because the weapons of the Han army were short swords, even if the length was increased later, they also had a great disadvantage in the face of the big scimitar.

This disadvantage still exists in the Han Kingdom, and the most serious is the backwardness of iron-smelting technology.

Although Wang Buxing had ordered the study of iron-smelting technology as early as two years ago, he even bluntly asked people to dig coal, and even to smelt coke, and use coke to melt molten iron.

But now it's just enough to melt a small amount of iron, and the most important thing is that the temperature is not enough.

Wang Bu was not hungry and even planned to go out in person and build a blast furnace.

The king of iron smelting technology is not hungry and does not understand, but he knows that all the iron on the market is alloy.

And the stupidest way is to throw some steel into a pot of molten iron and let it melt into it, so that the iron is not steel, at least the hardness is enough.

It doesn't take long until the Siege of Baiden.

Although there will be no siege of Baideng in this life, it is always a sword stuck on the top of Wang Buxing's head at that point in time.

The history of the Xiongnu has not changed, and this also means that in a maximum of four years, the Xiongnu will have a chance to move south.

If the Han State can't beat him in a battle, I'm afraid that the Han State will also suffer the same fate as in history.

Thinking of this, Wang Buyu planned to take the time to take a look.

It's really not good, so you have to go out yourself.

"Wait, the first year is mainly defensive, and wait for the imperial court to send new equipment over......"
