Chapter 424: The General Is Really God
Zhang Buyi's last sentence made Chai Wu a little confused.
What happened to the Forbidden Army?
Doesn't the forbidden army need credit?
Of course not.
Now that they've all come to the border, who wouldn't want to go out with their merits?
Although the Forbidden Army is not as professional as the cavalry, it does not mean that they are not good.
The Janissaries were the first units to receive the new harnesses, and they had secretly undergone a year of acclimatization training in the battalion.
With the advantage in all aspects, even if you can't play the role of heavy cavalry in the battle against the Huns, it won't be much worse, right?
What does it mean that the forbidden army can't make those contributions?
If it weren't for Zhang Buyi's kindness to him, Chai Wu really wanted to pull him to tear him up.
Isn't it bullying?
As for why he maintained this speed, as soon as Zhang Buyi said this, Chai Wu immediately understood.
The armor and helmets of the forbidden army weighed thirty pounds, seven pounds heavier than those of the light cavalry.
The cavalry spear and the ring-headed knife are also made of real materials, so this equipment alone is about fifteen pounds heavier than the light cavalry.
The other is the most important point.
The Praetorian Army differed from the cavalry soldiers in terms of physical physique.
When the cavalry was formed, there were strict requirements for the selection of personnel.
In short, follow the three points and you're good to go.
Low stature, light weight, good stamina.
These three conditions are the key of the key, and it doesn't matter if the strength can't keep up, as long as the weapon can't be moved.
After arriving at the border, I will eat meat to make up for it every once in a while, and with daily training, the strength can be made up for by the training the day after tomorrow.
And what about the Forbidden Army?
First of all, the forbidden army is an excellent person selected from the military camps across the country.
Secondly, the forbidden army is not something you can do if you are good enough.
There are so many excellent soldiers in the world, even if you are an excellent person in the barracks, if you want to join the forbidden army, you also need to go through assessment and screening.
The wolf has more meat and less meat, so the meat must not be carefully considered, pick a wolf that is pleasing to the eye and let him eat it?
Therefore, one of the key factors for entering the forbidden army now is height and physical fitness.
Their task is to guard the palace and guard Luoyang, and there are not many opportunities to fight on horseback.
Strictly speaking, they were infantry armed with war horses.
As for the infantry, physique is more important.
Therefore, according to the specific operational needs, the military department made a preliminary division of soldiers according to their height and physique when recruiting soldiers.
Those who are short in stature and meet the requirements are given priority to the border cavalry troops, followed by the jungle army in the south.
Because both the cavalry and the jungle army belong to the most suitable types of troops that have no advantage in height and physique, but are short in stature.
Those who are tall and large are arranged to garrison barracks in various places, as well as mountain armies in the southwest region.
The forbidden army was not without its short stature, but there were not many of them, only 5,000 men, and only these 5,000 were required according to cavalry training.
After all, there are multiple arms of the war, and the nature of the forbidden army is special, of course, you have to come to all arms.
Therefore, several factors add up to create the current situation.
Didn't Zhang Buyi know that he had stolen the Huns' home early in the accelerated march, and then returned to the Great Wall.
Of course he does.
But the soldiers of the forbidden army had only one horse, and the average weight was between thirty and forty pounds more than that of the cavalry.
The extra weight has a great impact on the staying power of the war horse.
In addition, the cavalry is three horses, so how can the forbidden army compare to them?
Relying on a horse to walk forty miles a day, this is basically the limit, Zhang Buyi even dared to guarantee that if he dared to walk ten miles more every day, he would be able to die of exhaustion in a few days.
It's all a bloody lesson......
"Hey, it's just that I didn't have any merits on a trip, it's quite unwilling......" Chai Wu finally sighed.
He may not be able to understand Zhang Buyi's far-reaching intentions, but he can basically understand why he did it.
What is not meritorious, although he also wants to, but the general does not want to, so he thinks about it in vain.
I feel a little sorry for my brothers.
Although there will be credit for bringing back the loot, these credits are so small that they can't be compared with the heads.
And according to the current tactical strategy, Chai Wu has basically seen the finale.
When I returned to Luoyang, all the staff were promoted to the first-level knighthood, which was considered to be over after giving a hard fee.
"What's not to be reconciled to? The soldiers of the forbidden army are young and strong, this battle is not a year or two to be fought, this time after going back, a group of people will be released, although not necessarily all can come to the north, but there will always be a chance in the future, take advantage of the fact that there is no pressure in this war, adapt to the grassland in advance, familiarize yourself with the situation of cavalry combat, and it can be regarded as a foreshadowing for the future! Zhang Buyi did not agree with Chai Wu's opinion.
Next, the forbidden army will definitely release people in large numbers, which is something that does not need to be considered.
To put it realistically, the forbidden army is the military academy of the Han Dynasty.
Before, hundreds of people were released at a time, and the effect was not bad, and those people have gradually grown up now.
The highest official positions have also made it to the captain, if you are lucky, this time you will follow the baby Han Xin and they will go out and make meritorious contributions, and it will be no problem to go back and be promoted to a partial general or something.
And how big was the basic plate of the forbidden army at that time?
How big is the current forbidden army's basic plate?
And the Han army was reforming at the time, Wang Buxing was also angry with Zhang Buyi earlier, and then the forbidden army released people, at least the kind that started with 3,000 people.
This probability is not low, if you have enough qualifications and no problem with your ability, you will be released to be a grassroots officer.
If you have enough qualifications, but your ability is not good, you can either stay and continue to be a forbidden army, or retire and go home to farm.
In other words, as long as you are not a fool and have an active head, you will basically have a chance to be released in the next three to five years.
Of course, whether the forbidden army can come out or not, Zhang Buyi is still more concerned about this.
"In the future battles, it will gradually shift to the cavalry, let the brothers use dim sum this time, don't just remember to fight and kill, march and camp, arrange troops, even if it is just to harvest prisoners, there is a lot of knowledge in this, and also send someone to tell the three of them, after the war, the four of you will each report a thousand lists!" Zhang Buyi reminded.
"No!" Chai Wu nodded, well, this is the benefit of the forbidden army, there are many insiders.
What are you doing with a thousand people?
Of course, he was released to be a junior officer.
And those who go out of the forbidden army will start with the tun chief, as for whether there will be a problem.
Of course not, because the personnel of the forbidden army are from the front-line troops, they have actual combat experience, and after the training and systematic training of the forbidden army, they are already qualified to serve as the commander of the canton.
It is a well-known practice for all to start a soldier and even a captain to start and be released, and other officers to be promoted to a higher rank.
……
The days went by day by day.
The army was getting closer and closer to the front line, and only a distance of less than a hundred miles remained.
Zhang Ao had already led his more than 30,000 men, very depressed, south of the main force, a position of 100 miles, according to the speed of a march of 40 miles a day.
This time they are tool people, and if the main force of the Huns does not come, there will be nothing for them, and they will be trained once in the wild.
Although the march was boring, Zhang Buyi still had some fun for himself.
He asked Zhang Ao to send some instructors over to explain some of the actual combat experience of the cavalry to the soldiers of the forbidden army on the way to the march.
Although these people have not fought in cavalry battles, Han Xin still summed up some experience after fighting that battle last year.
It's better to talk than nothing, learn first.
The battlefield is getting closer and closer, and the situation is not as bad as everyone thinks.
“???” Zhang Buyi looked at the scout who came to report with a puzzled face: "What is it?" You repeat??? ”
"General, the logistics of the Huns have not retreated, now they are basically all on the south bank of the Great River, there are a large number of Yueshi prisoners in it, and there are countless cattle and sheep, anyway, at a glance, there are everywhere, I have never seen so many cattle and sheep." Scout 1510 said it again.
"What about people? How many? Zhang Buyi asked again.
"Many, many, there should be more than 100,000 ......"
"......" Zhang Buyi looked confused.
Something is wrong with this special mother!
Are these Huns iron-clad or not?
My scouts have been with you for more than ten days, and you don't retreat?
If you don't retreat, forget it, why don't you go to the north bank of the river to hide?
Just stay motionless on the south bank of the big river, play hide and seek with my scouts, how much do you look down on my Han army?
"Is there a main force of the Huns around?" Zhang Buyi asked again.
"No, the scouts have already explored the surrounding area of two hundred miles, and have not seen the main force of the Huns, all traces point to the south, and now the scouts are exploring the south, trying to confirm the location of the main force of the Huns."
"No, isn't it true that our tens of thousands of people are fake?" Zhang Buyi looked at Chai Wu in confusion.
Abnormal, very abnormal.
Zhang Buyi didn't panic because he knew that these logistics couldn't go fast, even if the army only walked forty miles a day, it could catch up with them.
Even if the main force of the Xiongnu is notified, the Yueshi people will entangle with them.
Even if the Yue people didn't entangle with them, the combined strength of the forbidden army and cavalry would be 80,000.
Although the forbidden army was not too good at horseback, but dismounted and fought on foot, with the cooperation of cavalry, even if the Xiongnu had twice as many troops, they were helpless against themselves.
And if he really wanted to run, the Huns would definitely not be able to stop him.
"General, could it be that the fake news you put out has worked?" Chai Wu said tentatively.
"Fake news?" Zhang Buyi was stunned, although it was possible, he still felt a little nonsense.
"Yes, now it seems very likely that this is the case, they think that we only have 5,000 people, and they dare not come out at all, and the Xiongnu have sent a lot of scouts on the Great Wall to keep an eye on, and they have not received the notice of the scouts, so even if our scouts contact them, they will mistakenly think that we are deliberately sent by the scouts to disturb them."
"After all, the Huns have seen our battlefield strategy, if the scouts come and retreat in a panic, this will directly affect the front line, and the front line will have to retreat, so we only sent hundreds of scouts to solve the plight of the Yueshi people......"
Chai Wu quietly looked at Zhang Buyi, and secretly said that Zhente Niang's god was simply.
"The Huns must have sent people to the east to investigate after contacting the scouts, but our army was still hundreds of miles away, so they didn't find any trace of the army, so they ...... "1603382954."
