Since they had already received the notice, the five captains of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were waiting outside the gate early in the morning to greet them.

In addition to Wen Qin, the captain of the left army, the captain of the right army, and Liu Jing, the captain of the middle army, who visited the Gaoling Marquis Mansion yesterday, there are also former military captain Gao Jun and later military captain Xun Hong.

The former Xiaocai general was Qin Lang, who was removed from his post before Cao Rong collapsed and was replaced by Cao Yan. Due to the busy affairs of the DPRK and China after the death of the Son of Heaven, Cao Yan has been delayed until now before reporting to his post.

Cao Yan grabbed the reins in front of the gate, turned over and dismounted, and the five captains stepped forward together, and said in unison: "The last general will see the general." ”

Cao Yan waved his hand and said very magnanimously: "You are exempt from courtesy." ”

You must know that Cao Yan has been a leading general, and has served in the tiger and leopard cavalry for many years, and he has the prestige of a general.

A sergeant had already stepped forward and led away the horses of Cao Yan and the other six, and Cao Yan walked into the Chinese military tent surrounded by the captains.

Cao Liang followed behind Cao Yan and was silent, naturally it was not his turn to speak on this occasion, today he just came with eyes and no mouth.

On the first day of taking office, Cao Yan still had a lot of military affairs to deal with, but Cao Yan had served in the army for many years, even if he had been idle at home for the past few years, he had to be reappointed this time, and he was still handy and resolute in handling military affairs.

The former general of the Xiao cavalry battalion, Qin Lang, was cowardly and greedy for money, intoxicated with the court, and was deeply favored by Cao Rong.

In the past ten years, the Xiaocai battalion has only participated in one battle against the Xianbei people Budugen and Kebineng, and the rest of the time, they are either loosened at the foot of the Beibi Mountain, or they are used as cavalry guards for the Son of Heaven, and there is basically nothing to do.

Cao Yan's face became solemn, put down the file in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "Assemble the army, line up, this general will personally review the army!" ”

"No!" The Governor of the Fifth Military Academy immediately went down, counted the troops on the hour, and assembled at the school ground.

Because the cavalry battalion is a cavalry, it is less than the four battalions of the other Chinese army, according to Cao Wei's military system, five people are a team, a team commander, a team leader, a team chief, a team leader, a team rate, a team for a tun, a dubo, a song for five tuns, a military marquis, a second song for a part, the main position is a captain, and the deputy position is Sima.

One is 1,000 people, and the soldiers under the command of a lieutenant are exactly 1,000 people, and the cavalry battalion has five military captains, totaling 5,000 people.

Of course, this number refers to the number of people in the battle sequence, and the cavalry battalion also has a number of auxiliary soldiers such as baggage and grooms, which are not included.

Cao Yan gave an order, and the people of all departments immediately gathered and went to the school to wait for orders.

Cavalry is different from infantry, if 5,000 infantry are arrayed, the scale will not seem too large, but 5,000 cavalry is different, in the whole school field, people neighing horses, dust flying, the scene is magnificent.

Cao Liang had seen horses riding horses in his previous life, but he had never seen such a spectacular scene of thousands of rides, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

In the era of cold weapons, fighting in the plains, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is far more than the infantry, an excellent cavalry unit with strong combat effectiveness, can easily defeat several times or even more than ten times their own infantry, so for a long time, the cavalry on the battlefield, has always been known as the existence of the king, is the key force to determine the outcome of the war.

Compared with infantry, cavalry not only has the advantage of speed, flexible mobility and powerful impact power, but it will always be an infantry nightmare on the battlefield.

Cao Cao has a powerful tiger and leopard horse, fighting in the south and the north, dominating the world and being invincible.

It's just that after the establishment of Cao Wei, the scale and level of the war declined, and the western front and Shu were fighting, mostly mountains and hills, and the eastern front was fighting with Wu, which was a water town full of rivers.

What's more, raising cavalry is indeed too expensive, and the cost of raising a cavalry can raise at least ten infantry, so the huge tiger and leopard cavalry, after arriving in Cao Wei Liguo, has become a heavy burden, so the tiger and leopard cavalry was finally withdrawn, which is also a painful decision that has to be made.

The battle of Xia Zhi has become the last swan song of the tiger and leopard rider.

Although the tiger and leopard rider has an amazing record, as Xiahou Yuan's soul determined the military mountain, Cao Jun was defeated in Hanzhong, and the tiger and leopard rider also left the scene gloomily and withdrew from the stage of history.

The establishment of the new fifth battalion of the Chinese army is the biggest change in Cao Wei's military system, although the Xiao cavalry battalion is transformed from the tiger and leopard cavalry, but in terms of scale, the Xiao cavalry battalion cannot be compared with the tiger and leopard cavalry.

However, in Cao Liang's eyes, the scale of these 5,000 horsemen is already quite spectacular, mighty and majestic, which is really breathtaking.

Cao Liang couldn't help but feel excited, with such a strong army, the key is his father's command, even if he wants to scold Sima Yi in the future, there is a cavalry battalion behind him to support him, Cao Liang's courage can also be a little stronger.

But in Cao Yan's eyes, there was a look of dissatisfaction and disappointment.

The former tiger and leopard cavalry is such a proud army, strict military discipline, high morale, advance and retreat, and this cavalry battalion in front of him, although it is rare to have a little bit of the residual power of the tiger and leopard riding back then, but that is just a layman's opinion, in the eyes of the real tiger and leopard riders, it is not only a star and a half.

Cao Yan decided to stay and not return to the Gaoling Marquis Mansion for the time being, he planned to retrain the cavalry and train the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to become a real tiger and leopard horseman.

Since he accepted the edict, there was no reason for the cavalry camp to sink.

Cao Liang naturally couldn't stay here, so Cao Yan sent two personal soldiers to escort Cao Liang back to the city.

Cao Liang knew his father's character and what he decided, which was definitely something that eight cows couldn't pull back, so he listened to his father's words, said goodbye, and left the barracks.

Beibi Mountain lies in the north of Luoyang, stretches for hundreds of miles, the mountain is steep, and the scenery is beautiful.

Seeing that it was still early, Cao Liang did not rush back to the city, but traveled around the area under the Beibi Mountain.

It was early spring, Asakusa had just passed the horse's hooves, it was a good time to travel in spring, Cao Liang had been crossing over for some days, he had been thinking about coming out to go around, but there was no chance, now that there was such a good opportunity, how could he give up easily.

The two family soldiers were originally ordered to escort the little marquis back to the house, but the little marquis did not have the slightest idea of returning to the house immediately, and the persuasion was fruitless, and they couldn't resist him, so they had to follow behind Cao Liang, and they didn't dare to leave half a step for a while, and walked around with him.
