Chapter 344: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea

A thousand armored horses lined up in front of Luo Cheng, mighty and fierce, revealing a murderous aura all over his body. This thousand horses, but Luo Cheng worked hard to pull it up, from the initial ten horses, to today's thousand horses, step by step, every expansion is not easy.

Shi Xin held the black swallowtail flag in his hand, puffed up his chest and shouted loudly, "The Dreadnought Charge Regiment is being reviewed by the general!" ”

These thousand horsemen and horses come from all over the place, there are old villagers and brothers from Zhangqiu Changbai, there are also old county soldiers from Qi County, there are brave warriors absorbed by Hebei, and the elite selected in Zhuo County, and there are strong soldiers and elite horses transferred from Yanyun Cavalry and Li Jing in western Liaoning, and now there are some barbarian cavalry from Khitan, Yao, Turkic, Murwei and other tribes.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely fierce and brave.

Luo Cheng nodded with satisfaction.

He has the advantage that no matter where everyone comes from, as long as there are really talented people, he is willing to use them, and he doesn't have much of a gateway view. For example, Murong Changsheng, Wei Chiliang, and Shi Meng were originally seconded by Yan Yunqi, Feng Xiaoci and Hou Mo Chen Yi were Li Jing's people, and there were many Hebei soldiers and even tribal soldiers, no matter where they came from, as long as they were willing to fight side by side, Luo Cheng would not hesitate to reuse.

On the other hand, Luo Cheng also attaches great importance to his old brothers, such as his brothers Shixin, Cunxiao, and Heiye, he has always put as many important positions as he can. Little brothers like Du Fuwei and Fu Gonghu also trust him.

But Luo Cheng also has his bottom line in employing people, that is, those who have talent can use it. has no ability, even if he is an old brother, he will not be too important, for example, Wang Ziming is his second brother-in-law, and he is also the first batch to follow, but now in the army, among the civil servants around Luo Cheng, the most important ones are Wei Zheng and Hou Mo Chen Yi, the reason is that the ability of these two people is stronger than Wang Ziming, so he reuses these two people more.

"Fearless charge, it's very appropriate, but it's still not domineering enough, and it's not worthy of your current fierce combat power." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Murong Changsheng, the deputy general of the heavy cavalry regiment, said loudly, "Please give the regimental number!" ”

"Shixin, you are the military master, what title do you think is good?" Luo Cheng asked Xiaoliu.

Luo Shixin shook his head blankly.

It was Murong Changsheng who said, "The last general feels that Cao Cao's tiger and leopard riding name during the Three Kingdoms is majestic. ”

Xiao Liu nodded, "The name of the tiger and leopard ride is good, but I think the wooden ox and flowing horse are also very good." "Xiao Liu seems to have a soft spot for cows, and he thinks everything that has cows is good.

"What is a wooden ox flowing horse?" This time it was Murong Changsheng's turn to be at a loss.

Xiao Liudao, "The wooden ox and flowing horse was invented by Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms, and the wooden oxen and flowing horses were made of wood, which did not need to be pulled by people, but could walk automatically and carry grain." ”

"Is there one?" Murong Changsheng was skeptical.

"The fifth brother told me, there must be."

Luo Cheng had to smile, he had told Xiaoliu about the Three Kingdoms before, but there was no Romance of the Three Kingdoms in this era, and everyone had read it at most the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not as wonderful as the Romance.

However, Wei Zheng smiled and said on the side, "The Three Kingdoms and Zhuge Liang's biography written by Chen Shou of the Jin Dynasty do have this record, which records that in the ninth year of Jianxing, Liang came back to Qishan, transported with wooden oxen, and retired from the army after the grain was exhausted. ”

"Wei Sima really has a good memory, and the Three Kingdoms actually came casually, so good." Murong Changsheng praised, "But is there really such a powerful wooden ox flowing horse?" ”

Wei Zheng said, "In fact, this wooden ox and horse is just a kind of transportation equipment with a cargo box that combines manpower on foot or in wheels or on foot. Just like the deer cart we use now to conquer the east, the deer cart has no deer, just a man-powered trolley. ”

Xiaoliu said dissatisfiedly, "Nonsense, my fifth brother told me that the wooden ox and flowing horse are a kind of puppet of the machine, which is controlled by the mechanism, which is very good, what kind of wheeled car." ”

Wei Zheng also knew that the sixth general was sometimes a little confused, so he didn't argue.

It was Luo Chengdao, "Since Xiaoliu, you like the name Wooden Ox Liuma, then the Heavy Cavalry Regiment will use the Wooden Ox Liuma as the military name." ”

Murong Changsheng only felt a burst of heavenly thunder rolling over his head.

A heavily armored cavalry regiment armed to the teeth and heavily armored is actually called a wooden ox and a flowing horse? This is confusing, and a few people can know that this is a heavy cavalry, and the name can't have the effect of deterring the enemy.

He felt that the name of this wooden ox and flowing horse was similar to that of the baggage cart corps.

But Luo Cheng has already decided like this.

Although the name of the tiger and leopard riding is mighty, since Xiaoliu likes the wooden ox flowing horse, then use the wooden ox flowing horse.

"Thank you, Fifth Brother." Shixin said with some joy, "In the future, my heavy cavalry regiment will be called the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse Regiment." ”

Shixin also divided his 1,000 heavy cavalry into two battalions, namely the Wooden Ox Heavy Cavalry Battalion and the Liuma Heavy Cavalry Battalion.

Murong Changsheng felt very distressed, but looking at Luo Shixin's happy appearance, he could only hold back.

"General, our left Fifth Army reported five light cavalry regiments, six infantry regiments, and eight baggage regiments, but now it is actually five light cavalry regiments, and there is also a heavy cavalry regiment and a heavy infantry Modao regiment, can we do this?"

It was reported that there were five light cavalry regiments with a total of 5,000 light cavalry, but in fact, Luo Cheng had 5,000 light cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry, and this thousand heavy cavalry was not reported at all.

Not to mention, in addition to the 12,000 people in the six infantry regiments, Luo Cheng also concealed a Modao heavy infantry regiment with a full strength of 2,000 people.

The original 33,000 Left Fifth Army actually had 40,000 men, and not only did it add 3,000 heavy cavalry and heavy foot, but also added a chariot regiment of 4,000 people.

"What does it matter, we didn't find the imperial court to compile, we didn't find the imperial court to ask for equipment, we didn't even ask for grain and grass, we all relied on ourselves to solve it, and even these extra soldiers were recruited by us from the local Han people and Hu tribes in Liaodong, is it necessary to report?" Luo Cheng asked rhetorically.

Wei Zheng is also not afraid of heaven and earth, "Don't report it, there must be a lot of trouble if you report it, and even extraneous branches, since we have enough food, grass and ordnance, and people, it is not a big deal to get a few thousand more soldiers." We have to go south to Pyongyang desperately, and we will go thousands of miles deep into the enemy territory along the way, which is a desperate job with our heads, and we are not allowed to increase our strength. ”

Murong Changsheng saw that they looked like they were not afraid of heaven and earth, so he didn't bother to speak.

Since the boss is not afraid, then what is he afraid of, and even in his heart, he is faintly quite excited, no matter what, the Left Fifth Army reported that it was 33,000 people, but in fact it was 40,000 people.

Not to mention that there are 5,000 light cavalry, 12,000 infantry, 16,000 heavy stragglers, and now there are 1,000 heavy cavalry, 2,000 heavy foot, plus 4,000 chariot regiments.
