726 Cavalry Revolution

Zhang Liao was very excited about this cavalry revolution.

Like Zhang Fei, he also used a mace iron rod, rode on the horse and danced with both hands, dancing like a tiger and a tiger, making the soldiers applaud loudly.

Seeing such a majestic style, Yu Ban couldn't help it, put on the battle, rode a war horse equipped with horse harness, and waved a mace iron rod to fight Zhang Liao on the horse.

The two of you go back and forth, and then simply let the war horse stop, sit on the horse with both hands and use weapons, fight with maces in a circle, you find me a move, and even wrestle on the horse, so that the fierce cavalry battle makes the soldiers fascinated and applaud.

If Guo Peng was present at this time, he would definitely recognize it, this is the reproduction of the specific link of the Three Heroes Battle against Lu Bu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Fang Tian's halberd, double-strand sword, Qinglong Yanyue knife, Zhangba snake spear, the military generals of the late Eastern Han Dynasty wielded heavy weapons that only had the Song Dynasty to catch and kill on the horse.

This can only be done if the horse is fully equipped unless it is extremely powerful, talented, and well-trained.

Only in this way can you truly free your hands, and you don't have to struggle to balance your body, but you can use all your strength to wield your weapon.

In a short period of time, the tactics of the Wei cavalry underwent a revolutionary change.

Zhang Liao and Yu Ban brought together a group of generals from Lu Bu's army and a group of generals who were proficient in cavalry tactics to study the new cavalry tactics and the strategic position of cavalry under the new situation.

At the same time that Guo Peng sent cavalry equipment and promoted the cavalry reform of the Southeast Corps, he sent a cart of bamboo slips to Zhang Liao.

What is written on the bamboo slip is the new cavalry tactics he has researched from a professional point of view.

Guo Peng is undoubtedly a military expert, which is recognized by everyone in the world.

Zhang Liao carefully read the bamboo slips of this car, and felt that Guo Peng's insight was very novel, and the tactics of the large cavalry corps he described were very eye-catching.

In particular, he mentions a tactic.

It is a tactic that not only the heavy armor of the men but also the heavy cavalry of the horses and the armor of the horses are used to form a line, and then force the infantry to attack the formation.

Guo Peng believed that such a tactic could allow the cavalry to tear apart the enemy's infantry formation head-on, achieve the effect of high-speed breaking the formation that infantry and light cavalry could not achieve, avoid the fierce battle before breaking the formation, greatly reduce the casualties of the army, and also deter the enemy's military morale.

At this time, a large number of cavalry wearing light armor and leather armor then attacked, using heavy weapons to rush into the enemy formation to kill the infantry, high-speed maneuvering and condescending, it is easy to completely defeat the enemy infantry who have lost the protection of the military formation.

Once the military formation is lost on the battlefield, the infantry army is a living target for the cavalry, not to mention that with the three artifacts of the cavalry, it is the same when there is none.

The military formation is the life of the infantry and the standard configuration of the battlefield, and it must not be without.

For such an idea, Zhang Liao didn't dare to think of it in the past, but now that he saw the birth of the new cavalry with the blessing of the three artifacts, and felt the feeling of stability, Zhang Liao felt that it was indeed feasible.

If the cavalry can have the ability to charge into battle, instead of the original state of only being able to ride and shoot the enemy, then the cavalry can directly evolve into a battlefield killer and become an important class of troops that can compete with the infantry army, and can fight the main force, rather than only the auxiliary.

However, such cavalry seems to only exist in Guo Peng's bamboo slips.

Guo Peng said on the bamboo slip that he was trying to build such a cavalry.

He was in Yecheng, planning to select three hundred elites from the Tiger Guard's own soldiers to try to form heavy cavalry, and the first batch of three hundred such cavalry to test the water, if it was really feasible, then continue to expand the scale.

Steel torrent or something, with the national strength that Guo has mastered, it is barely possible to raise one.

What Guo Peng said about testing the water is naturally to use the Jiangdong battlefield to test the water.

Whether it can be fought, whether it will be effective in actual combat, whether it will make the enemy frightened, whether the military formation will collapse at a high speed, whether it can reduce the casualties of the army, and indirectly reduce the cost of war for Guo is all things that Guo is concerned about.

Zhang Liao was also looking forward to the appearance of such a cavalry.

However, such cavalry had not yet arrived, but Zhang Liao learned the news that Zhou Yu had successfully quelled the civil strife in Jiangdong and exterminated the main force of the Jiangdong rebels on the first day of the fifth month.

He was surprised and immediately sent the news to Yecheng, but before him, Jia Xu had already sent the news north by boat day and night.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, Guo Peng learned the news sent by Jia Xu in Yecheng.

He learned that Jia Xu had successfully abandoned the Jiangdong rebels, and then Zhou Yu put down the news of the rebellion, and learned that the main force of the Jiangdong rebels had been destroyed, and a small number of them were still fighting sporadically, but it was no longer a climate.

The powerful forces of the five counties of Jiangdong and the forces of Shanyue have been severely dealt a blow and have almost collapsed, and the regime of Sun and Wu has taken root in Jiangdong more firmly than before.

In order to achieve this goal, Guo Peng even learned that Zhou Yu used forced marriage to force the high-level marriage of the Jiangdong Dashi clan and the Sun-Wu regime, so as to achieve the effect of forcible cooperation and try to make the Sun-Wu regime become the orthodox regime of Jiangdong.

Moreover, Zhou Yu also learned from Guo Peng, wiped out all the powerful families who participated in the rebels, swept them away, seized their materials and population, and did what Guo had done.

Zhou Yu really worked hard for Wu Guo.

Guo Peng sighed at this.

Although I was a little moved by the relationship between him and Sun Ce, people still had to be killed.

Now that the Sun Wu regime has completed all its work as a tool man, it is time to destroy it, and it can't stay longer.

Guo Peng then formally ordered a war on the eighth day of the fifth month of the second year of Jian'an, and declared Wu as a rebellion of the Han Empire by the emperor's edict, and ordered Guo Peng, a general of Han and the king of Wei, to crusade against Wu to quell the rebellion.

There is a justifiable reason to send troops south.

Guo Peng then ordered Zhang Liao, the general of Wei Zhengnan, to serve as the commander of the battle to destroy Wu, and to lead the whole army, and all the southeastern armies, including the Qingzhou Naval Division under Tai Shici, must obey Zhang Liao's orders.

Ordered Yu Ban to be the deputy marshal, assist Zhang Liao in the battle, and lead the 30,000 soldiers of the East China Sea battalion to obey Zhang Liao's command, and there must be no mistakes.

He also ordered Guo Jia to go south, and held Jieyue to serve as the general of the military division, and assisted the commander Zhang Liao in the battle to exterminate the Sun Wu regime.

He also ordered Guo Jia to grant Zhang Liao Jieyue on his behalf, and ordered Zhang Liao to command the whole army with this, if there is anyone who does not respect the military order, he will be killed directly, and there is no need to report, but Zhang Liao needs to accept Guo Jia's supervision.

Thus, the battle to destroy Wu officially began.

Guo Peng issued an order, the two prefectures of Yuzhou and Xuzhou, as well as the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang, would unconditionally provide Zhang Liao with the military rations and various military supplies he needed, and all auxiliary troops would be mobilized.

He also ordered Yuzhou to mobilize 50,000 people, and Guo Peng himself served as the pastor of Xuzhou, so he ordered all counties in Xuzhou to organize 50,000 people to be spared.

Preparations for war were moving at a rapid pace.

After receiving the order, the county commanders, township heads, and village chiefs in all localities went into high speed, mobilizing all the grassroots units in all localities, and quickly entering the wartime system, just as in every previous war.

The people of Tuntian, who had received Guo Peng's kindness with their lives, turned into tool men with gratitude, and stepped on the battlefield to deliver military rations, military supplies and other necessities to the front-line regular army fighting on the front line.

Under Guo Peng's leadership, the greater mobilization power that a larger population should have was fully mobilized, and the greater the population, the greater the mobilization power, and the benefits of Guo's vigorous sweep away of political opponents and expansion of power were also revealed.

The soldiers of the Wei army received a higher war guarantee, they could eat enough at once, they could eat meat before and after the victory, they did not have to worry about being hungry, they were fully equipped, they did not have to worry about going to the battlefield with their bare hands to fight people, and they did not have to worry about the war prolonging so that the weather turned cold and then they had no clothes to wear.

When Yuan Shu was first conquered, one of the reasons for Yuan Shu's failure was that the logistics could not keep up, and he was unprepared in the face of the sudden cold snap, so that a large number of soldiers innocently froze to death and lost their combat effectiveness.

Once the Wei soldiers are conscripted, there is no problem with logistical support, and no problems are allowed.

If something goes wrong, Guo Peng can definitely investigate it to the end, and then pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and push the relevant officials to the end, all of them into the abyss, so as to maintain his mobilization power.

Dare to attack Guo's mobilization power, that is, dig up Guo's life, whoever dares to dig Guo's life, Guo will chop off his claws.
