Chapter 179: Before the War

"Report! The army of the Tamu tribe has been marched! ”

"How many centaurs?"

"There are 20,000 cavalry!"

Fan Junpingqi said: "Even if the Tamu tribe comes out, there are no more than 10,000 people at most, where are the 20,000 horses?" ”

The scout was puzzled by this, and couldn't answer for a moment.

Wan Yankang waved his hand to let the scout go down to rest and receive the reward, and then said to Fan Junping: "There must be other tribal leaders who don't open their eyes, and they are also involved!" ”

After Yan Kang finished saying this, he didn't wait for Fan Junping to say more, and shouted: "Beat the drum, point the general!" ”

The horn sounded, and not long after, in the young marshal's mansion, all the officers above the battalion commander and staff officers were present. At this time, in White Horse City, plus the soldiers brought back by Ye Siming from the Starfire Tribe, there were already six battalions of cavalry, plus three battalions of infantry, and the total strength had exceeded 10,000.

As soon as the nine battalion commanders, plus Ye Siming, Xu Daosheng and others arrived, Wan Yankang swept everyone's expressions, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "Alxa of the Tamu tribe, raise 20,000 troops to attack, what are your countermeasures?" ”

Wu Shiman pulled off his clothes, patted his chest and said: "Dashuai, give me a regiment, I, Wu Er, will roll that fat guy and kill the fart!" ”

Ma Si shook his head: "It's not proper, it's not proper, my White Horse City has the advantage of a strong city, and there are natural dangers such as the Hele River, we just need to cut off the pontoon ropeway, according to the city, Alxa can only work in vain, and retreat without a fight!" ”

Wu Shiman's eyes glared: "Fourth, your courage is getting smaller and smaller!" ”

Wan Yankang stopped Wu Shiman's words and motioned for the other generals to express their opinions.

The crowd spoke out in turn, some were in favor of going out of the city to fight in the field, and some were in favor of defending the city.

Wan Yankang saw that although everyone was not afraid of war, most of them still held conservative opinions, after all, the enemy was outnumbered at the moment. After everyone finished speaking, only Xu Daosheng did not speak, and after Yan Kang asked, "Master Xu, what do you think!" “

Xu Daosheng's feather fan shook lightly: "This battle will be won!" ”

Wan Yankang smiled: "Sir, please speak." ”

Xu Daosheng swept across everyone's faces: "Alxa is raising troops at this time, and the rainy season is coming, this is the wrong time; I defend the city, and there is a great river to block the enemy, and the location is needless to say; If a tribal leader in Alxa District commits a crime for no reason, there will be disobedient people in his subordinates, and our army will unite as one to protect the homeland. ”

"In this battle, the time, place, and people are all in my White Horse City, and there is no reason to win!"

When the people in the tent heard this, they did not feel that their hearts were excited.

Wan Yan Kang let out a long laugh: "What Master Xu said is extremely true, our army will win this battle, and the enemy army will be defeated." I don't know if Master Xu has a good strategy to break the enemy? ”

Xu Daosheng shook the feather fan and said with a smile: "The handsome man has already made a decision, why not show it!" ”

Wan Yankang chuckled when he heard this: "Sure enough, Master Xu knows me." ”

After that, he shouted: "The generals will listen to the order!" ”

Ye Siming and the others all stood up and waited for the order.

"Wu Shiman, you lead a battalion and two battalions of cavalry, responsible for patrolling along the river to prevent the enemy from crossing the river from elsewhere!"

Wu Shiman gave a military salute: "Order!" ”

"Ma Tie, the three battalions of infantry in the city are under your command, and you are fully responsible for the defense of the city."

"Order!"

"The third battalion and the fourth battalion are temporarily dispatched by Fan Junping and are temporarily responsible for the control of the city."

"Order!" Fan Junping and the two battalion commanders were shocked.

Wan Yankang said: "In this battle, I will lead the elite out of the city to block the enemy, and during my absence, Fan Junping will coordinate military affairs!" ”

Fan Junping looked at Xu Daosheng and said to Yan Kang: "Handsome, Mr. Xu can outperform me by ten times......

Wan Yankang stretched out his hand to stop his words: "Master Xu has just arrived, and he is not familiar with the situation in the city, and you are still in charge of the overall situation at this time. ”

Xu Daosheng also hurriedly spoke: "Junping, the military situation is urgent, I'll just obey the order!" ”

Fan Junping no longer shirked, nodded and said, "Obey!" ”

Wan Yankang said: "From now on, martial law and curfew in the city!" Except for our soldiers, no one was allowed to leave the city. ”

Ye Siming saw that Yan Kang seemed to have finished issuing the military order, and only he and the two battalion commanders of the tribe had not assigned the task, so he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Marshal, what about me!" ”

Wan Yankang smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the deputy marshal is here, I have a lot of use." After speaking, he pulled Ye Siming aside and whispered in his ear.

After Ye Siming listened to the secret order, his eyes lit up.

After all the military orders were handed down, Wan Yankang finally ordered: "Everyone, since the establishment of my White Horse City, I have never experienced sword soldiers. This time, we not only have to win, but also win a big victory, so as to be able to shock the grassland and deter Xiaoxiao! ”

"I hope you will work hard!"

All the generals were solemn and ordered to leave, leaving only Fan Junping and Xu Daosheng in the Shuai Mansion.

Wan Yankang said to Fan Junping: "My peerless flying horse, now can you fight?" ”

Fan Junping bowed and said: "Wushuang flying ride, it really lives up to the word Wushuang, but his subordinates are worried about ......."

Fan Junping hesitated for a moment, and then said: "After all, the number of Wushuang is too small, and I don't know if I can make a contribution for the first time." ”

Wanyan Kang laughed: "It's okay, I want Luo Yi, the governor of Youzhou back then, to be able to shock the Huns with only the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun." If I have a pair of flying horses, I will be able to run rampant in the grassland! ”

He passed down the military order, ordered the Wushuang elite cavalry to assemble quickly, and then said to Xu Daosheng: "Master Xu, you can take a look at me!" ”

Xu Daosheng bowed: "That's what I mean!" ”

After Yan Kang established an army in White Horse City, he personally selected a team in the army, named Wushuang, and was personally commanded by him.

The entry conditions of the unequaled are, first, to be superb in riding, to be able to achieve the unity of people and horses, and second, to be excellent in archery, and to be able to open more than two strong bows.

On the grassland, there is no shortage of skilled horsemen, but the second condition is that nine out of nine warriors are stuck. In an ordinary team, those who can open a one-stone hard bow are already strong, and those who can open a two-stone strong bow may not be able to produce one out of a hundred.

When Wan Yan Kang set the selection criteria, he could fully meet the requirements, and among the ten thousand armies in White Horse City, there were only enough hundred. Among these 100 people, there are still about 30 people who are the first phase of the Divine Soldier of Wan Yankang.

These students, Wan Yankang was trained as a general, and it was a bit too extravagant just to use them to fight. Therefore, he only left five people among the students, so that there were only more than 70 people in the first batch of selected Wushuang.

Considering that seventy people were too few, Wan Yankang selected a separate battalion of 300 soldiers with similar conditions as a reserve force. He had been away from White Horse City for nearly a year, and at this time, he didn't know how many of the three hundred reserve troops could meet the standard.

Wan Yankang ordered Wushuang to assemble and go to the martial arts arena with Xu Daosheng and Fan Junping. However, with a stick of incense, more than 300 people had already stood on the martial arts arena at this time, each holding a war horse in their hands, except for the occasional neighing of horses, there was no human voice in the audience.

The assembly of hundreds of people, a stick of incense is nothing. But all the people present were cavalry, and there were all men and horses in a stick of incense, people in armor, saddled horses, and the formation was neat.

Not to mention the combat strength of Wushuang, this military discipline alone is rare in the world.

Wan Yankang was overjoyed when he saw this, but his face did not show the slightest, and he only shouted: "All on board!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they got on their horses together, and more than 300 people moved at the same time, just like one person.

Wan Yankang waved his hand: "Take a team of twenty people as a unit to practice tactics!" ”

Hundreds of people and horses flowed one after another, with ten people in a row, and two rows of people and horses galloped from one end of the arena to the other. When the horses were halfway through the race, the knights immediately drew their bows and fired arrows backwards with a look back at the moon.

After the first arrow was fired, the horses galloped for a while, and the knights turned back and fired another arrow, and after three arrows, the knights immediately reined in their bows and horses, and returned to the brigade.

A team of centaurs ran from one end to the other, and with the middle arrow, it was only ten breaths. In a short time, all the knights had run all over the place, and the tactical drills were completed.

There were dozens of human-shaped wooden targets at one end of the arena, more than 100 steps away from the center of the arena, and they were already full of arrows at this time. This round of tactical drills does not seem to be unusual, it is nothing more than the soldiers riding horses and launching arrows. But Xu Daosheng had already seen the doorway, his eyes lit up, and he was amazed: "If there are 3,000 people on this kind of flying horse, who can stop it!" ”

Wan Yankang nodded with satisfaction, shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Xu, don't talk about three thousand people, even these three hundred people, it is not easy to get them." This person is okay, there are ways to think about it, and there are other nerve-wracking things! ”

Xu Daosheng sighed and hurriedly asked why.

Wan Yankang crossed his fingers and talked about the difficulty of creating this flying horse one by one.

Although White Horse City is located in the grassland and horses are everywhere, there are still only one in a hundred good horses that may meet the requirements of unparalleled.

According to Yan Kang's concept, the horses to be matched by Wushuang Fei must not only run fast, but also have good endurance. According to this standard, the mounts of the peerless warriors are basically on par with the mounts of Ye Siming and other senior generals. The standard of unequaled flying riding has to be one person and two horses, and the selection of horses alone is not easy.

The choice of mount is just that, after all, White Horse City is located in the grassland, and Wan Yankang is not short of money in his hands, so it can still be solved gradually.

But another necessity is a real headache.

Bow and arrow!

The standard configuration of the unequaled flying cavalry is a two-stone strong bow, while the bows and arrows used by ordinary cavalry are mostly eight-bucket bows, and now the bows and arrows newly configured in White Horse City are only one stone, and the range is twice as bad. The main tactic of the Wushuang Flying Cavalry is to rely on the horse to be fast and strong, and to kill and injure the enemy with kite tactics.

For the Wushuang Flying Rider, a two-stone strong bow is the guy who eats.

Before Ouhua set up the craftsman camp, Wanyankang's idea of creating a peerless flying horse was undoubtedly a fool's dream. After he got more than 100 craftsmen from it, formed a craftsman battalion, and implemented the birth method of the great division of labor in society, the city of White Horse continued to create sophisticated weapons and equipment.

To this day, the craftsman camp can produce a thousand and a half stone hard bows per month, but even so, the output of two stone strong bows is still not high.

The production process of a one-stone hard bow and the materials required are far from those of a two-stone strong bow. Of the five masters that Wan Yankang dug up from the Ministry of Works, only two of them could make a two-stone strong bow.

According to the traditional bow-making method, these two masters can make a two-stone strong bow in a month, which is quite efficient. If this is the case, even if these two masters do not sleep, they can only produce about thirty strong bows in a year, which is far from meeting the needs of unparalleled equipment.

Fortunately, thanks to the implementation of the method of social division of labor, Helvar had one of the masters take twenty apprentices to work on the assembly line, specializing in the production of two-stone strong bows. In the craftsman camp, the production of two-stone strong bows and resources had to be prioritized, so that the monthly output of two-stone strong bows was increased to about twelve.

At this time, the official warriors of Wushuang were all armed with two-stone strong bows. The reserve army is holding a standard hard bow with one stone and five buckets.

During the tactical exercise, Wan Yankang counted the number of people, and there were almost one hundred and ten people with two stone strong bows. He nodded in satisfaction, it was finally useful.

On the Wushuang team, horses, bows and arrows and other equipment spent on silver taels were enough to equip a cavalry of 5,000 people.

In addition to equipment, the salary standard of Wushuang is also different from that of ordinary soldiers, with reserve soldiers twice as high as ordinary soldiers, and regular soldiers receiving five times as much as ordinary soldiers.

So much money was spent, so much effort was put into this team, and the food and salary were also specialized. In this regard, there are still many different voices in the army.

Looking at the fierce soldiers in front of him, Wan Yankang had a smile on his face, it was a mule or a horse, and it was time to pull it out!
