Chapter 94 The White Horse Battalion was read and praised The Military Intelligence Department used a divisive strategy

"Don't worry, the lord will cooperate with the chief general Xiong to take charge of the pioneer battalion." Jin Jia was extremely happy when he heard Yang Er's appointment, this pioneer camp was the easiest place to make meritorious contributions, otherwise it would not have gathered so many Taihang Mountain generals. A discerning person can see at a glance that these generals want to win credit in this pioneer camp so that they can be the foundation of their careers. Xiong Kuohai and other generals have no dissatisfaction, and they still know their own shortcomings. And they also knew that this golden armor general was the prince's personal general, and he was extraordinary in martial arts and extremely righteous, very easy to get along with, not the obscene villain, so they gladly accepted it.

After leaving his personal general Jin Jia as a general in the vanguard camp, Yang Er chatted with the generals for a few more words, nothing more than emphasizing the military discipline and other matters after the expedition, so he left the pioneer camp and rushed to Wu Yunzhao's Baima Yi camp after bidding farewell to the generals.

This time, Wu Yunzhao's White Horse Battalion was called out to use his special horse army to attack Tuyuhun's back road, which was the most important killer in Yang Er's eyes. It can be said that the success or failure of this war largely determined the exploits of Wu Yunzhao's White Horse Righteous Battalion. The equipping of this special force by himself is also very different in all aspects, that is, to stimulate the combat power of this unit. Yang Er doesn't know anything about the drill of the new equipment now, so it's better to go and see it.

Before arriving at the White Horse Camp, Yang Er and the others around them heard bursts of cheers and the neighing of war horses, and from a distance, the entire camp seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, as if the entire camp was in a warm atmosphere.

Yang Er and the others were very curious, and couldn't help but speed up their horses and rush towards the White Horse camp.

Perhaps he had already received the news, Wu Yunzhao and his subordinates were already waiting in a neat line outside the camp. 10,000 white horses from the officers and soldiers lined up in a huge phalanx, from a distance to look majestic and majestic, from the general to every cavalry is a white horse, white armor, white helmets and a white canopy, holding a long lance to the sky. One of the generals at the front was even more majestic, and a huge white word "Wu" was written on a black banner behind him, and Yang Er recognized at a glance that this was Wu Yunzhao, the commander of this cavalry unit. Yang Er and the entourage couldn't help but cheer after seeing it, and gradually approached.

"The last general, Bai Ma Yi, from the camp master, summoned Wu Yun to see the prince." Wu Yun summoned Yang Er and the others to come over here, hurriedly urged the war horse to step forward to greet him, and bowed his hand to the war horse.

"General Yunzhao, what do you mean by this?" Yang Er asked with a smile.

"Tell the prince, my white horse has been in the camp for more than a month, the generals and officers and soldiers of the army are the elite of the whole army, enough to fight, and now I heard that the prince came to my camp to investigate the process of preparing for the war, so I will order the whole army and the battalion to line up, please review the prince." Wu Yunzhao replied loudly in a loud voice.

"Please review the prince---- please review the prince---- please review the prince!" As soon as Wu Yunzhao's voice fell, the 10,000 soldiers behind him shouted in unison, showing even more majesty and high morale.

"Good! Let this king see the morale of you and others, and appreciate the demeanor of my white horse righteous and fine horse! Yang Er was also excited when he saw and heard it, shook the reins of his horse lightly, and led everyone to walk all the way past the eyes of the soldiers under the guidance of Wu Yunzhao. This Wu Yunzhao really knows how to select soldiers, and there is not a single thin person in the whole army, but a sturdy young man. What made Yang Er even more satisfied was that everyone's eyes revealed their admiration for their leader and a strong desire to fight. Yang Er kept nodding his head all the way, thinking to himself that it was right that all the treatment he gave to this elite soldier, including military pay and daily food security, was higher than that of other battalions of cavalry and infantry. This made every soldier in the White Horse Battalion feel that he valued them, and being able to enter this unit meant a high honor, which could be felt in the eyes of every soldier.

"General Yunzhao, is every cavalry here equipped with a long lance, a new-style ring-headed horizontal sword, an iron chest shield and a pair of cavalry crossbows?" After Yang Er saw the morale of the soldiers, he thought of the equipment of the cavalry, these equipment had been discussed with Uncle Ma a long time ago, except for the difficulty of making crossbows for the cavalry, other weapons were not difficult to cast. But whether it is fully equipped, Yang Er is not clear, and Yang Er attaches great importance to these types of equipment, among which the ring head knife and cavalry crossbow are new equipment that has not been available in this era, and can crush the enemy cavalry and infantry when the cavalry fights. In this parade, I only saw 10,000 soldiers neatly holding a long lance about one zhang long and a round shield in their left hand, and the other two pieces of equipment were not very clear, so they turned their heads and asked Wu Yunzhao.

"Wait a minute, and watch the Yunzhao drill." After that, he galloped out to the front of the formation, and shouted: "All of them, hang the lance." As soon as Yunzhao's password fell, he saw that the 10,000-pole lance was put down together and hung on the saddle, and the movements were extremely neat.

"Draw your sword!" Yun Zhao then issued another password.

"Roar ---" The whole army roared neatly, and then pulled out the ring head horizontal knife on his waist and raised it forward. The momentum was extremely magnificent, and Yang Er couldn't help but shout loudly when he saw it.

"Close!" I saw a piece of sword light retracted.

"Raise your crossbow!"

"Roar ---"

Another 10,000 repeaters were held high above their heads, and the scene was quite spectacular.

"Close!"

"Returning to the prince, my battalion has all been equipped with these four kinds of equipment in the whole army, and in the usual training, we have focused on practicing the skills of horizontal knife slashing and horse crossbow shooting, and now we are proficient in practice, especially the crossbow horse shooting is the most powerful, and it can basically kill the enemy accurately within 20 steps. It can also be used as a hidden weapon in the hands of generals, and can take the life of enemy generals in front of the battle. Wu Yun summoned and replied quickly, his eyes full of confidence that is usually hard to see.

"Tell the prince that this ring-headed horizontal knife and one-handed repeater are very useful. The strength and tenacity of the horizontal knife far exceed that of the original cavalry saber, and it can easily cut through the enemy's weapons. And this cavalryman's one-handed crossbow is a weapon to kill the enemy! Ten short crossbow arrows are fired at will each time, and the penetration is extremely strong, and it can easily break through the leather armor worn by today's cavalry, even the iron armor can pierce into it. My white horse is absolutely invincible in the world from now on, and the prince can prepare more things to reward me for meritorious soldiers! A thick and thick voice came from Wu Yunzhao's side. Yang Er couldn't help laughing and turned to look over.

Wu Yunzhao hurriedly said: "This will be my deputy general of the White Horse Battalion, surnamed Wu Mingbao, who is good at making a single hammer and weighing 300 catties." It was our army that rushed into battle and killed the enemy's first general. ”

"Oh? It turned out to be General Wu Bao! This king has heard that there is a tiger general in your Wu family who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and will go forward bravely in every battle. Yang Er saw that this Wu Bao looked quite like the general of the pioneer battalion, Xiong Kuohai, but Xiong Kuohai's face was purple, and this Wu Bao's face was dark.

"The last general has seen the King of Jin Chitose." Hearing Yang Er's appreciation of himself, Wu Bao's heart was full of joy, and he hurriedly bowed his hand to Yang Er.

"Yes, yes! When the two armies face each other, they will detour from the flank to the back of the Tuyuhun army, first cut off their grain routes, and then rush into their hinterland to be strangled well, and it is best to capture a few princes, princes, queens, princesses and princesses for this king. When General Wu Bao arrives, don't kill this king! Hehe! Yang Er said with a big laugh, causing a burst of laughter from the generals around him.

"Chitose Lord rest assured, the last general will definitely bring back the most beautiful princess of Murong Shan Yu to Chitose Ye. Hehe! Wu Bao saw that Yang Er was very easy-going, and there was no frame that an ordinary prince should have, so he also responded and said casually. Everyone laughed again when they heard this, and even the dust behind Yang Er was snickering with a red face.

"General Yunzhao, if there are casualties on this expedition, the remains of the soldiers must not be abandoned, and they must be brought back for burial. There are also horizontal knives and crossbows that must not be lost, and they must be told to the whole army. If it is lost and taken by the enemy, it will cause casualties to our troops after copying. Therefore, the bodies of soldiers are not abandoned, and weapons cannot be left behind. Yang Er retracted his smile and reminded Wu Yunzhao seriously. These cold weapons are not very technical, unlike muskets that fall into the hands of the enemy, and there is no need to worry about copying. This horizontal sword and repeater can be easily copied by an experienced blacksmith. At that time, their own army lost its superiority in weapons and could not be rowed.

"Yes, my lord. The last general must warn every soldier that if the weapons are there, they will be counted after each battle, and the credit will be offset if the weapons are lost. Wu Yunzhao nodded and said.

"Okay, since I have arrived at your military camp today, this king will eat in your canteen, eat with the soldiers, and return home after the meal." After that, Wu Yunzhao and the others will enter the barracks. The lieutenant generals of the leading army also took the cavalry back to the barracks to rest.

After a day's inspection of the various armies, it was almost time to hold the lantern when I returned to the house. But Yang Er couldn't rest yet, because the two chief officers of the Military Intelligence Department, Liu Wenjing and Yu Wenhuahe, had been waiting in the Fuzhong Hall for a long time. Sending troops to Tuyuhun has almost become a fact, although the imperial court's holy decree to send troops has not yet arrived, but the matter of sending troops to fight is already on the line. During this time, the Military Intelligence Department also entered a state of imminent war, and all kinds of information were transmitted from all over the country to the Luzhou Military Intelligence Department, and the two chief officers were also busy every day, and they had to sort out useful information as the basis for decision-making in wartime before the army set out for battle, and the pressure was also very great.

Seeing that Yang Er had finally returned home from the army, Liu Wenjing and Yu Wenhua hurriedly greeted him. Yang Er also waved his hand to let the two sit down and then spoke.

"Your Highness, here are a few secret letters sent back from the Tuyuhun Intelligence Station of our military intelligence department. The lower officer thinks that it will be helpful for me to use my troops, so please take a look at it. After Liu Wenjing saw Yang Er sit down, she hurriedly took a document from the desk and handed it to Yang Er with both hands.

After Yang Er took it, he looked at it carefully, put it back on the desk on the side, and asked, "Tuyuhun Murong Shan Yu contacted the King of Tubo to the end?" Is there any news of the Tibetan army? ”

"Your Highness, as of now, there is no news that Tubo has mobilized troops to assist, but the lower officials think that Ling believes that he has it, so he has to guard against it." Yu Wenhua hurriedly got up and replied.

Yang Er took back the letter and looked at it, and after a long silence, he said, "Hmph! This king expects that the king of Tibet will not send troops. But the necessary precautions still need to be taken. ”

"How can Your Highness conclude that Tubo will not move troops?" Liu Wenjing and Yu Wenhua glanced at each other and asked puzzledly.

"If the spring is warm or in the middle of summer, we have to prevent the Tibetan troops from attacking my border court, but now it is winter, and when his troops arrive in my border city, it is the middle of winter, and the Tubo to my Hanzhong line, the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and this snowstorm can kill his Tibetan army. Therefore, it is against the sky! In addition, Tubo is located on the plateau, the climate is completely different from my Dasui and Tuguhun, the land is rich in barley and other things, and I am different, this year has not been affected by the drought, so there is no shortage of food. Third, the tribes within Tubo have not yet been integrated, each is the king, there is no co-master, Tubo Zan Pushang is too busy to take care of himself, and dare to send troops? With these three points, this king concluded that Tubo would at most harass the land bordering our dynasty, and make a show for Tuyuhun Murong Shan Yu to see. Yang Er's analysis was based on later generations' understanding of the interior of Tibet and the topography and climate of the plateau in this era, which was a field that Liu Wenjing, Yu Wenhua and others had not come into contact with at all. The two of them were stunned and speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Yang Er knew that he had lost his temper for a while, and suddenly thought that this military intelligence department had not yet built a stronghold in Tubo, and Liu and Yuwen would definitely not be able to know the situation inside Tubo.

"This, this --- this is also a speculation of this king for a while, and it needs to be further confirmed. Well--- in short, this king judged that Tubo had no worries all the way. Yang Er didn't wait for the two to speak, and hurriedly said on his own.

"Your Highness, even if this is the case, you can also report to Your Majesty and transfer 10,000 people from the Hongnong Soldier Zhang Xutuo who were originally stationed in Meiwu City to the front line of Hanzhong to ensure that one side of my southern line is foolproof." Liu Wenjing reacted from surprise and hurriedly admonished.

"Well, Mr. Zhaoren's plan can be a complete strategy, but this king smells that Zhang Tuobu is still a summer dress, and he doesn't have time to change his winter clothes. It's still hard to stay in Meiwu, how to go to Hanzhong. Since the Tibetan side is playing on the spot, you don't have to worry about it for now. However, the soldiers of Meiwu must be called this time, and it is not good for the soldiers in front of me to be placed in Meiwu. "Yang Er has always been close to Zhang Xutuo's department near the capital, and he can use this opportunity to transfer him away, or even weaken it.

"Also, Your Highness, here is a secret letter saying that Tuyuhun Murong Shan Yu is not on good terms with his younger brother King Sakun Xian, and is extremely opposed to Shan Yu and my Great Sui using troops. I wonder if I can use it for me? Yu Wenhua always pays special attention to the information of this kind of nest fight, so he takes out the matter of Tuyuhun high-level discord. Being good at provoking the other party's internal friction to profit from it is also Yu Culture's strength in this regard.

"Yes, Mr. Hua Ji's words are reasonable, provoke the internal discord of Tuyuhun, and break his arm, which will be very beneficial to the king and Tuyuhun Murong Shan Yu in a battle, you can arrange it, if you cooperate with our army to defeat Murong Shan Yu and solve the danger of my border court, this king is willing to help him Sakun Xian King for the new generation of Tuyu Hun Shan Yu, and the two countries will be good and will not invade each other." Yang Er's idea of using this important information and taking the initiative to use the divisive strategy is the same as Yu Wenhua's, and handing it over to Yu Wenhua and doing this can also give full play to his strengths.
