Text Chapter 109 Cavalry
Qin Dongyang has never spoken much in the military formation, and rarely reprimands the soldiers.
What he is good at is finding loopholes in the military formation, improving everyone's physical fitness, employing people according to their aptitude, and putting military attachés in the right positions.
Almost everyone trusted Qin Dongyang, his stability, composure, rich experience, strong martial arts, and the fame brought by his colorful past experiences all contributed to the fact that the warriors respected and trusted their chief instructor quite a lot.
And everyone knows that the official position of Nan'an regimental training will be reported in the future, and Qin Dongyang must be the regimental training Sima, second only to the regimental training envoy Xu Zixian and Changshi Li Yi, ranking third.
Because Qin Dongyang and Da Ge Erge each led a battalion, and Xu Zixian also led a battalion himself, and Xu Zixian was busy, and at the same time, he was definitely not as experienced as Qin Dongyang and others, so Qin Dongyang divided Liu Yi, Lin Cunxin, Li Fuxiang, and the most outstanding three of the young generals into Xu Zixian's battalion.
In terms of overall strength, Xu Zixian's letter battalion is also the strongest, there are many outstanding young tooth generals in this battalion, there are about ten Gushan thieves as middle and lower-level military attachés, and there are more than a dozen Houfu tooth generals are also in the letter camp, the number of tooth generals and Gushan thieves is the most in each battalion, many tooth generals can only be ordinary team officers, and the young tooth generals are all just team officers or captains except for Jin Jian and Gao Shilai and Tian Heng.
In addition, there are many veterans in the cavalry, and almost all the officers are Gushan bandits and old generals.
Jin Baoyi, Wu Weisan and others are all in the cavalry, they are originally warriors, of course they have to pass the equestrian level, otherwise they are not qualified to be generals.
And those who can enter the cavalry capital among the martial arts are also strong men with excellent physical fitness and riding skills.
Xu Zixian hoped that the cavalry could quickly build up combat power and complete all his ideas.
Now the cavalry is in the small school field in the north, and more than 100 horsemen are running and sprinting back and forth, muzzle velocity, acceleration, impact, and testing various terrain to impact different enemy formations in formation.
The cavalry had many training subjects, and their weapon configuration was also carefully studied.
The first and second rows are the long guns, and the third row is the barrier knife.
In fact, Xu Zi first wanted to use the long cavalry gun for the first row, the second row for the second row, and the obstacle knife for the third row.
Or a Mo knife or a giant axe.
After testing it a few times, I found that the effect of the giant axe and the Mo knife was not stronger than that of Chang Zhen, and even inferior to Chang Zhen.
The cavalry breaks the formation, quickly breaks through the enemy formation with a long line similar to an iron spear, and rushes into the formation of the infantry or cavalry formation, which is the most critical place.
Breaking the formation is one, killing is two.
Killing the enemy is a matter for the second-row swordsmen and the third-row swordsmen who follow behind.
When the enemy line is broken away and there is a mess, the second and third platoons can calmly harvest human lives and cut off heads like trees.
Charge, break the formation, charge again, break the formation again.
The peak of classical Chinese heavy cavalry was the Northern Wei period, and the later Eastern and Western Wei dynasties remained the most powerful countries of heavy cavalry.
In the war of these Xianbei knights recorded in history, the knights wore sixty or seventy pounds of iron armor, armed with long guns and slashers, with heavy arrows that could break the backbone of people, on the battlefield they rode high war horses with heavy iron armor, roaring and rushing to the enemy formation, heavy arrows flying, often filling the ground, but the most important thing is the charge of heavy cavalry to heavy cavalry.
Often after a battle, the corpses of the horses and the ironclad knights will pile up, and the muddy ground will be soaked with blood, and this kind of head-on collision and competition is hardly fancy, that is, there are more heavy cavalry on which side, and there are more resolute and resolute ironclad heavy cavalry.
It can be said that the heavy cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty is the highest peak of China's heavy cavalry, inheriting the rest of the rhyme is the Sui and Tang, after which China lost its horse breeding land, the excellent high war horses were constantly castrated, the Western Regions and the Hetao horses were mixed with Mongolian horses, the quality of the war horses declined seriously, and there were heavy cavalry when it came to Liaojin, and the Ming and Qing dynasties completely lost the foundation for cultivating heavy cavalry, horses, excellent knights, qualified iron armor and horse armor.
Great Wei's war horses were also scarce, especially in the south, which were expensive and scarce.
Xu Zi first bought more than 200 war horses, spent a lot of iron money, and owed some credit, fortunately, the merchant who sold the horses knew that he had a regimental training donation to repay the debt, otherwise Xu Zixian would not be able to afford these 200 horses.
A knight should rotate at least two horses, which can save horsepower during training and prevent the horse from losing weight severely.
War horses are very expensive and squeamish, only Mongolian horses in the world can bear hardships and stand hard work, even so, the Mongols often stop for a few months on the way to the west, grazing and storing horsepower, if a vigorous run of thousands of miles, it is estimated that when they arrive at the destination of the westward expedition, the war horses are almost dead.
While marching, another horse can carry the warrior's equipment, such as armor, weapons, bows and arrows, and bedding.
You should also prepare a horse follower, take care of the war horse in peacetime, and help lead the excess war horse that does not need to go into battle during the war.
Therefore, raising cavalry is too expensive, raising a cavalry is a luxurious move for Xu Zixian, raising such a cavalry is enough to build an infantry battalion and more than enough.
……
The cavalry was running in the sun, and Xu Zi first withdrew his gaze and began to smile at his subordinates who came over for a meeting.
The main hall of the signing room is quite large, and it is full of people.
The civil officials sat at the bottom left, and the military attaches led by Qin Dongyang at the bottom right.
Xu Zixian did not hand over King Qi's letter to everyone, but told everyone about King Qi's analysis.
Liu Yi, who was sitting at the bottom of Qin Dongyang, coughed lightly, he wanted to speak, which made everyone including Li Yi feel strange.
Liu Yi has always been like a hanger, and he gradually looked like him after being advised by Xu Zixian, but he was still much more casual than ordinary military attachés.
Alcohol is forbidden in the camp, this guy sneaks out every day for an excuse, anyway, the discipline on him is relatively relaxed, after all, the officers are not the same soldiers, but Liu Yi is the one who sneaks out to drink every day.
This is very good for the temper of Ge Cunzhong and Ge Cunyi brothers, most of the thieves in Gushan are good wine, and the middle and low-level military attaches can only force themselves to abide by military discipline, and the Ge brothers also belong to the kind of people who go out of the camp every other day, and have good wine and good food to quench their cravings.
After meeting Liu Yi a few times, the three of them now often get together at the same table.
"If there's a fart, let it go." Ge Cunzhong was quite rude, even in front of Xu Zixian, he would not make that kind of dignified subordinate appearance, he wiped his thick beard, and said to Liu Yi: "Liu Liuzhi'er, what do you have to say?" ”
"Recently, there have been rumors in the rivers and lakes on the casino side that the prince has hidden more than 10,000 taels of gold nuggets in the Hou Mansion, saying that it is the group practice donation of the Semu people, the copper coins are kept, the silver is exchanged for money, and the gold is left in the Hou Mansion......" Liu Yi said: "This rumor came out, and many gamblers' eyes were red. I've warned a few, but it's useless, many people are restless these days, and many people are sticking their heads out and wandering around the gate of the courtyard. ”
"It's something in other towns, too." Kong He also said: "I also heard it, I originally thought it was a villain who made a rumor and deliberately made trouble for us, but now it seems that there is a reason for it, and it is very dangerous." ”
"It's going to fill the knife head with the gangsters on the periphery." Ge Cunzhong was very clear about these tricks, and said disdainfully at the moment: "This kind of gangster, a thousand people are also messing up, if they want to use these people to make things happen, it will be a joke." ”
Ge Cunyi said: "Recently, there have been swordsmen from outside the road who have entered Fujian, we have all heard about it, it was not a matter of fact, it seems that these swordsmen were also recruited to deal with us." ”
Li Yi said with a solemn face: "To be able to do such a thing is really wealthy." I'm just a little weird, shouldn't the other party be acting secretly? ”
"They may have two purposes." Chen Daojian was originally a little hesitant, but the Hou Mansion's style of deliberation had already made him very adaptable, and Xu Zixian had never been guilty of words, nor would he suppress a certain point of view that seemed to be wrong.
Everyone can express their opinions, and they will not be held accountable afterwards, if they perform well and are recognized by everyone, they will increase their weight in the hearts of everyone in the Hou Mansion.
Chen Daojian's family is also a famous family in Fuzhou Prefecture, but it declined two generations ago, and Chen Daojian's entire life ideal is to restore the glory of his ancestors, which is something that his deceased grandfather, father, repeatedly emphasized when he was dying.
As a child prodigy, it is inevitable to be precocious and precocious, and taking on too heavy a responsibility will also cause young people to worry a lot.
Chen Daojian was only seventeen years old after the New Year, and sometimes his eyes were vicissitudes of life as if he was seventy-seven years old.
Although there is still a naïve and immature side in his thoughts and behaviors, in general, Chen Daojian is far more mature than his peers.
"One, they really need these outside forces, so they'd rather risk exposing their tracks. In other words, they knew that their whereabouts would definitely be exposed, and there were more than 1,700 people in the Nan'an Regiment Lian Jiahou Fuya, and they would not be completely sure if they did not gather about 2,000 people. Secondly, they hope to cause great pressure and suppress the determination and confidence of the prince to resist, if they know that a large number of people have gathered on the opposite side, as many as thousands, and most of them are famous martial artists of the rivers and lakes, and the prince has lost the confidence to resist, what will he do? Once the prince escaped from Nan'an and abandoned the territory that the regiment trained to defend and capture, the rest was simple. ”
"That's right." Xu Zixian was greatly appreciative and said: "Dao Jian's analysis is extremely correct, I think everyone should understand who is doing it, and who is standing behind him." ”
Everyone nodded, they all had an enmity with Xu Zixian, and it was of course the Pu family who urgently needed to get rid of it.
The Pu family is the most powerful and has the largest share of commercial trade, and is also the leader of the foreign Heavenly Merchants.
The levy of the group training donation has the greatest impact on the interests of the Pu family.
