In the main tent of the Chinese army, Gao Huan was gently wiping a delicate and sharp ring-headed knife, while listening to several henchmen and generals discussing the siege strategy ahead.

The original owner of this saber was Er Zhurong's favorite during his lifetime, the dragon head in the knife ring is gilded, the handle is wound with silver wire, the handle is pure silver, the knife is one meter four long, glowing with white light, it can be said to be like cutting hair.

This saber was originally Erzhurong's saber, and he followed Erzhurong to make great achievements, and later after Gao Huan raised troops to destroy the Erzhu group, it fell into Gao Huan's hands. Gao Huan loved this knife very much, and sighed that it was the sword of the king, and he held this saber to fight in the south and the north, and conquered the vast territory of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

After Liu Taozhi walked into the main account, he truthfully reported the process of Gao Yang's angry killing of Cui Yuan in logistics.

After listening, Gao Huan didn't speak, just said "um" softly, and waved his hand to signal Liu Taozhi to go down first. After Liu Taozhi withdrew from the main account, he saw Gao Huan looking around at several confidants and important ministers under the table, and asked everyone: "What do you think I should do?" ”

Everyone thought about it for a while, and they all spoke, while thinking that Gao Yang should kill Cui Yuan, after all, the following crimes should be killed, and some retorted that Cui Yuan should be punished, but he should not be killed indiscriminately.

Only the white-headed old man who was directly below did not speak, squinting slightly and lowering his head, as if he had fallen asleep.

After Gao Huan saw it, he asked the white-headed old man a little dissatisfied: "Zunye (Sima Ziru), what do you think?" ”

When Sima Ziru heard this, he smiled slightly and said: "King Yuxiang, the lower officials think of Jia Chong and Chengji, the ministers of the Jin Dynasty. ”

Gao Huan was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed "haha", how could a character like him not hear the meaning of this sentence, and immediately made up his mind and said: "Those who obey the industry and know me, listening to your words is like drinking wine." ”

Other generals, such as Hu Lujin and Hu Luguang father and son, Duan Shao and Han Liang and other generals, lowered their heads after listening to the conversation between Gao Huan and Sima Ziru, deliberately pretending to be confused and did not understand, they were more or less selfish.

Gao Huan glanced at everyone sharply, and said to the old eunuch in charge on the side: "Pass the order, Cui Yuan will commit a crime, violate the previous order of the prime minister, cut his official position, and his family will be exiled to the border of Yingzhou." ”

The old eunuch in charge on the side hurriedly knelt down and ordered: "Oh, the slave will arrange it." ”

In another part of the barracks, Gao Yang was looking at the full amount of supplies, and there were even more than 20 pairs of armor and cavalry armor, and his eyes couldn't help but shine, this was a big killer.

The armor and cavalry equipment first originated in the Anxi and Sassanid dynasties, and was later introduced to China and was widely used. In the Sui and Tang dynasties, it developed to its peak, and the Xuanjia army of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was also armored and cavalry, combined with light cavalry, and was invincible.

It was not until the rise of the Mongol cavalry and the continuous innovation and improvement of war tactics that the armor and cavalry equipment were eliminated until the rise of firearms. It can be said that before the Mengyuan Dynasty, the armor and cavalry were the trump cards of the cold weapon era, and finally the Tiefutu and Iron Harrier in the Liaojin Xixia era were defeated by the Mongolian cavalry, which came to an end.

Gao Yang looked at the more than 20 pairs of light cavalry, he decided to select his own guards from these 3,000 soldiers, and the training method was combined with the training methods of "Baibao Xianbei", "Xuanjia Army" and modern army, and the number of the guards was called "Baibao Xuanjia", which was divided into heavy cavalry battalion and light cavalry battalion.

Thinking of this, he pointed to the more than twenty pairs of armor and said to Murong Shisu: "Shisu, I want to establish a unique and powerful cavalry. ”

Murong Shisu asked suspiciously, "Does the general want to train armored cavalry to equip heavy cavalry?" ”

"Yes and no, our heavy armored iron cavalry must be used in conjunction with the light cavalry, and the members of the Guards are required to charge on their horses, slash and kill when they dismount, and they must play a role on their horses."

Murong Shisu was confused, shook his head suspiciously, Gao Yang explained with a smile: "Now my Eastern Wei war horses are like clouds, and I can basically do one person and three horses, this king wants to first charge the enemy with the flexible mobility of the light cavalry on the battlefield, not close to the enemy, only ask for a large-scale shooting of the enemy, disrupt the enemy's battle formation, and finally bite the enemy's left and right flanks, and then assist the heavy cavalry to charge and crush the past." ”

Murong Shisu fell into deep thought after hearing this, as the tactics described by Gao Yang are undoubtedly different from the same style of play, and they have not yet been practiced, but in terms of effect, they can indeed play a devastating blow, but the tacit understanding required between different arms is also very high.

"General, this tactic is really unheard of, I don't know how the general knows? The last general just thought about it, and in order to achieve this effect, the conditions required were very high and extremely difficult. ”

Gao Yang thought to himself, this is not nonsense, this is the tactical strategy used by the Mongolian iron cavalry that terrified Eurasia later, of course you haven't heard of it. As far as he knows, the Northern and Southern Dynasties attached great importance to heavy cavalry, especially the use of heavy cavalry frontal charge, decapitation action, but heavy cavalry has a weakness, that is, because the armor is too heavy, soldiers and war horses will lose their strength after a long time, and finally form a burden, so the endurance requirements for soldiers and war horses are extremely high.

Later, with the development of the times, a large number of light cavalry of nomads such as the Mongols cooperated with the Mongolian heavy cavalry, the number of which was about 6 percent, which greatly exerted the flexibility and mobility of the light cavalry and the sharpness of the heavy cavalry, which swept across the Eurasian continent.

"You guessed right, at least the following three points are needed: strong and brave soldiers, strong and patient war horses and the coordination between soldiers, which requires us to train the team from now on, and there are exactly more than 20 pairs of armored cavalry here, so select a hundred warriors from among them to form a separate army, called Baibao Xuanjia."

In fact, Gao Yang also wanted to transform the weapon, to create the Mingguang armor worn by the cavalry, the Mo knife in hand, etc., at present, the cavalry of the Eastern Wei Dynasty mainly uses spears and ring-headed knives, auxiliary horse lances. However, spears can easily break after a charge, and horse lances are extremely expensive to manufacture, so it is generally a spear charge, followed by a melee slash with a ring-headed knife.

If the Mo Knife is equipped, this makes up for the lack of length of the ring head knife, and the manufacturing cost is not as high as that of the horse lance, which is suitable for the use of trap infantry battalions, and is also suitable for cavalry charging and horse slashing.

It's just that with his strength at present, he still doesn't reveal too many secrets for the time being, if he has the strength in the future, he will definitely build a real Modao army, armed with heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, and with clever tactics and strong economic strength, he can be fearless of the nomads at that time.

Murong Shisu had fully understood Gao Yang's thoughts, and saw him nod and salute: "The last general understands, so I will go down and arrange relevant matters." ”

Soon, Murong Shisu ordered the lords of each building to call on the soldiers to return to the formation. Gao Yang rode a horse and inspected the soldiers, and said loudly: "Warriors, we have brought back the materials that belong to us, the general said that we want to become an army of brave champions and three armies, so we need a lot of training, so as to make up for our current shortcomings, from today onwards, each of you will face strict training, if you can't hold on or do not meet the conditions of the soldiers will be eliminated, today every building owner, every team owner and every commander has to come to the camp to receive training related training matters, After learning it, instruct each soldier below. ”
