When I returned to the camp of the infantry battalion, I saw He Fu and Li Nong with Huang Wenyuan, Zhang Dabao and several officers excitedly surrounding the fire, sandwiching a large piece of roast horse meat with two roasted steamed buns, and then smearing the salad dressing prepared by Xiao Yao, biting down and munching with satisfaction!

Seeing Xiao Yao come back, everyone stood up in unison and looked at Xiao Yao with enthusiastic admiration.

Xiao Yao touched his face and smiled: "Why do you look at me like this, is it because I'm too handsome?" ”

"Handsome! Commander, you're so handsome! Huang Wenyuan, who is the same age as Xiao Yao and often jokes, joked.

"Haha, yes! I think so too! Xiao Yao also boasted to himself, and then said to everyone: "Sit down, don't be restrained!" This is the first time that our infantry battalion has stepped into a real battlefield and has fought a battle that can be of historic significance! What do you think of this battle? ”

"Commander, this battle is simply an execution of the cavalry of the Qi Army! Those heavy cavalry were menacing, and they looked like they were devastating and devastating, and they were killed by our cannons! And those light cavalry, stupidly rushing over, we are as easy as shooting a target! I guess these Ran Death didn't see what kind of weapon we used to attack them! Huang Wenyuan said excitedly.

"I didn't expect these guns to be so lethal! Usually the training is to shoot at those stake straw men, even if these straw men are blown to pieces, I don't feel anything, but now I see those cavalry being bombed to death by us all of a sudden, seeing such a tragic situation, really, I can't bear it! Zhang Dabao, who has always been suspicious of Xiao Yao, also rarely reveals his true feelings.

"This is war! But everyone has compassion, it's normal to have this kind of thought, if you still feel excited and excited when you see the other person die so tragically, then you are a pervert! Xiao Yao comforted, at that time, he actually had a trace of pity in his heart, but as a chief, of course he couldn't show it.

"But you're all doing well so far! The artillery of the second company accurately hit the opposing heavy cavalry, so that none of them could rush forward; And the soldiers of the first company also played very well, shooting all their light cavalry off their horses, and their horses were captured by us intact! I've already asked General Cheng to give us a credit! Xiao Yao praised.

"Commander Xie!" The crowd responded excitedly.

"Although this is a big victory, but nothing is perfect, we still have to summarize the shortcomings, what do you have that we need to improve?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Commander, although our artillery played a decisive role in today's battle, and their ace heavy armored cavalry was solved in a few clicks, I still think that the movement of our second company is too slow, and these artillery pieces are very heavy, unless it is a siege, otherwise we can only wait for the enemy to attack, and it is difficult for us to take the initiative to attack the enemy!" Second Company Commander Li Nongdao.

"The second company is right, don't you second company want to take the initiative to attack the enemy, our first company also wanted to rush up to assist General Cheng to kill those surrounded cavalry, but unfortunately in the end we could only watch them break through and escape! Commander, you don't know, seeing that the other brothers of the forward battalion are fighting desperately, our brothers in the sword team are all anxious, and they also want to rush forward to fight those cavalry to the death! Huang Wenyuan also complained a little.

After all, only his sword team did not show its strength, but only rushed forward to replenish the swords of the cavalry who had been shot half-dead by the musket team and fell to the ground.

"Yours all have a point, it's actually the same reason, mobility! The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and only by keeping up with these changes can we win the battle! So move fast and run fast! Because the second company is artillery, these artillery can only rely on horse-pulling, so it is a bit difficult to improve the mobility of your second company at the moment! ”

"And except for a few commanders of the company, who are on horseback, the rest of the brothers can only walk, you know that in today's battle, we have a good situation, and the infantry of the forward battalion has also suffered almost a thousand casualties! If I had let the 300-swords squad of your company rush forward at that time, you would have suffered at least 100 casualties! It's not that I won't let you make meritorious contributions, it's just that it's not the time yet! Xiao Yao explained.

"Isn't it time? What does the commander mean? Huang Wenyuan asked.

"Although the cavalry of the Qi army has suffered a heavy defeat, what do you think of their cavalry?" Xiao Yao asked.

"In all fairness, awesome! And it is much more powerful than the cavalry of our forward battalion, with good riding skills and brave combat! For example, the cavalry led by the commander's eldest brother, Captain Xiao, at that time I saw that he led three cavalry to besiege a cavalry of the Qi army, not only did not stop the other party, but was also stabbed down by the other party, what a wreck! Huang Wenyuan blurted out that he only served Xiao Yao alone, so he was only respectful to Xiao Yao, as for the others, he was the son of Huang Faqu, the general of the West Expedition, and he didn't need to give face.

"That's right, although our musketeers shot and killed their two cavalry detachments today, their momentum of not fearing life and death and moving forward bravely is still quite admirable! And they are also very skillful when attacking, if it weren't for our usual well-trained, two platoon brothers shooting in an orderly manner, maybe they would have really been able to rush over! He Fu also said.

"Didn't you see that after General Cheng led the forward battalion to cut off the other party, more than 2,000 cavalry, and more than 2,000 infantry combined, 4,000 men and horses still can't beat the other party, these more than 2,000 Qi cavalry who have been frightened by our infantry battalion, and finally let them have more than 1,000 cavalry to break through and escape, it can be seen that the cavalry strength of the Qi army is indeed strong, if there is no infantry battalion of our infantry today, even if General Cheng is given 10,000 troops, the other party may break through the defense line and reinforce Qin County!" Li Nong also sighed.

"It's good, neither of you is arrogant because of this victory, you can see each other's strengths!" Xiao Yao praised them again, and then said, "So now I'm going to learn from each other's strengths and form a cavalry team too!" ”

"Cavalry?"

"Yes! We have captured more than 400 war horses today, given 100 to General Cheng, and left 300 for ourselves, so I am going to form a cavalry that can be as powerful as the cavalry of the Qi army in a company, mainly with Wen Yuan's sword team! Xiao Yao said sonorously and powerfully.

"Really!" Huang Wenyuan, who was named, looked at Xiao Yao with great excitement.

"Don't think it's a very easy thing, now it's just to see that the soldiers of your sword team are relatively free to use you to form, if you can't train it by then, or they can't adapt to it, then don't blame me for being polite! Didn't you laugh at my eldest brother's cavalry just now? Now it's up to you to see if you have the ability! Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"My subordinates have absolutely completed the task assigned to me by the commander! I will definitely train the brothers of the sword team to be cavalry more powerful than the cavalry of the Qi country! Huang Wenyuan immediately stood up and stood upright.

"Very good, the infantry battalion is here with strength, you can go crazy if you have the ability! It's good that you have faith, but you also have to be strong to be convincing! Don't fall off your horse when the time comes! Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Commander! I, Huang Wenyuan, can ride a horse at the age of seven, and I can eat and sleep on the horse at the age of ten! Back in the Western Route Army, my riding skills were famous! If my father hadn't sent me to the infantry battalion, he would have sent me to General Xiao's cavalry battalion! Huang Wenyuan also smiled.

The formation of a cavalry team in the infantry battalion, although there are only 300 rao establishment, everyone knows that they will be another main branch of the infantry battalion, after all, it is still the era of cavalry!

So seeing that Huang Wenyuan suddenly became the captain of the cavalry team, Zhang Dabao on the side felt extremely bitter: Why can he Huang Wenyuan become the captain of the cavalry, and my Zhang Dabao's riding skills are also first-class! Why did I continue to be Li Nong's deputy in the second company, just responsible for the transportation of ammunition, either carrying those bulky boxes or feeding those pack horses and donkeys!

Looking at Huang Wenyuan's high-spirited smiling face, Zhang Dabao's resentment towards Xiao Yao deepened。。。。。。
