The official asked Di Qing to order troops, and Di Qing chose the Western Army without hesitation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Natured Novel ww

Although Di Qing started from the Western Army, he also stayed in the Beijing Forbidden Army. He once served as a guard in front of the infantry palace, and was promoted to the deputy commander of the infantry army and the commander of the horse army.

The infantry and cavalry of the forbidden army in Beijing, Di Qing knew about it, and it had long been useless.

Generally divided, the army of the Great Song Dynasty was divided into forbidden army, box army and township soldiers.

It is true that the combat effectiveness of the Xiang Army and the Township Soldiers can be ignored, and the Forbidden Army, which is the main force in the army, is also divided into three parts - the Hebei Army, the Western Army and the Beijing Battalion.

As for the other Great Song Routes, all the forbidden armies together were not as numerous as any of these three parts.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, among the three forbidden soldiers, the Western Army was actually the weakest.

However, after the alliance between the Yuan, the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan maintained relative peace, and there was no major war in the past Jiazi, which made the Hebei army that confronted the Khitan corrupt, and now it has long been embarrassing and useful.

As for the forbidden army in Beijing, it has long been reduced to a useless showmanship, and now it can probably only be used as an honor guard and in military exercises.

The Great Song Dynasty now only has the Western Army, whether it is the four-way regular army, or other Fan soldiers, strong, and bow and arrow clubs, and still maintains strong combat effectiveness in the fierce battles with the Western Xia and Qingtang Zhuqiang.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the Western Army had become the only combatable army in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty was an army that could fight hard, dare to sacrifice, go deep into the Hanhai Gobi for more than 1,000 miles to do field battles, and expand the territory for the Great Song Dynasty, so Di Qing did not hesitate to choose to use the Western Army to go south to quell the rebellion!

Di Qing selected 30,000 elite soldiers from the Western Army, and selected more than a dozen generals, and assembled in Jingzhao Mansion at the end of the month.

Jingzhao Mansion is Chang'an, as the station of the pacification envoy on the Shaanxi Road, and also as the former enemy headquarters of the Xia War, the entire Chang'an City is a huge material base. The grain, grass, baggage, armor and weapons of the southbound Western army will be collected and replenished here.

Before the end of the month, Di Qing would join the assembled Western Army in Jingzhao Mansion and set off south to quell the rebellion.

………………

Among the dozen or so generals of the Western Army ordered by Di Qing, the first was Yang Wenguang.

Yang Wenguang will be the vanguard of this counterinsurgency army.

The vanguard of the army, that is, the vanguard unit, should undertake the task of pathfinding the whole army, reconnoitring the enemy situation in advance, and checking the geography; Scouting, tentative attacks, disrupting enemy deployments. This is a position in the military with heavy responsibilities and meritorious service.

When Yang Wenguang was appointed, he was very grateful to Di Shuai. He knew that this was Di Shuai's trust and importance to him, and it was also an opportunity for him to revive the prestige of the Yang family.

Although a large part of Yang Jin's defeat was due to the fact that his soldiers were too bearish, it still damaged the prestige of the Yang generals. Yang Wenguang made up his mind that this time he must regain the prestige of the Yang family, so that the Great Song Dynasty will be impressed by the Yang family again.

Yang Wenguang was the vanguard this time, and all his subordinates were selected as cavalry, all of which were elite armored cavalry selected from the Zhenxi Army and the Baojing Army.

When Yang Wenguang heard that he was named by Di Shuai as the vanguard of the southward counterinsurgency, he was more grateful, but Yang Huaiyu was more surprised.

Because Zhong Hao had already said that after his cousin Yang Zhen was defeated, he once said that this time the official family would definitely make Di Qing the commander and lead the troops south. And this pioneer is afraid that it will fall on his father.

At that time, Yang Huaiyu was not unimpressed, but he didn't expect that now it had all come true, and Yang Huaiyu couldn't help but be surprised.

Didn't the hexagram god Shao Yong say that his eldest brother didn't understand the art of ibography at all, then I am afraid that these things were analyzed by his eldest brother. My eldest brother is really too good, according to a little clue, he can analyze it so accurately, this is simply not a person!

This is simply a half-immortal!

"Zhongrong, can you not look at me like that? Even if you worship my eldest brother, you can't always look at me like this, looking weird! Zhong Hao looked at Yang Huaiyu, who was staring at him intently, and felt a little hairy.

"Uh...... Big brother, you are really a god! ”

"Big brother's skills are as deep as the sea, and you will see more in the future! That, the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army followed Uncle Shi to the south, did you help to make up the matter? ”

Yang Huaiyu said proudly: "Of course, junior brother, I still have this little face with my father, so I naturally agreed with my father!" ”

"Haha, in the future, when our Pingxi Army earns its origin, we must let the whole army thank you together!"

Yang Huaiyu waved his hand and said: "This middle camp was also trained by me, so you don't need to be polite!" ”

Although Yang Huaiyu said that it was his own face, in fact, the reason why Yang Wenguang agreed to take the Pingxi Army south was because he had promised Zhong Hao that he would have the opportunity to take the Pingxi Army to the battlefield; The second is that after more than a year of high-intensity training, the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army does have a strong combat power, and it is really a trivial matter with Yang Huaiyu's face!

Yang Wenguang was very cautious about the selection of troops in the south this time. The Yang family has already lost once, and this time there can be no mistakes.

Although Yang Wenguang looked down on those Nanban from the bottom of his heart, the cavalry selected this time were all the elite of the Zhenxi Army and the Baojing Army. The reason why he agreed to the Pingxi Army to go south together was mainly because he felt that the combat strength of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army could meet the requirements, and he also made other arrangements to use the Pingxi Army.

Yang Wenguang selected three battalions of cavalry from the Zhenxi Army and the Baojing Army this time, all of whom were veterans of the battlefield. And they are all armored cavalry, but they are used as heavy cavalry charging into battle. If there is a chance to fight with Nong Zhigao's army in the future, Yang Wenguang plans to let them hang up and lead them into battle.

As for the Pingxi Army, Yang Wenguang planned to let them mainly undertake the tasks of sentry and sweeping. The middle battalion of the Pingxi Army is now strong enough to undertake these tasks after more than a year of intensive training.

Over the past year, the training of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army in mounted archery operations has been intense. Basically, they have to practice every day, and every day they need to have at least four hours on horseback to train charging and riding and shooting. The training intensity of the middle battalion for more than a year is probably enough to withstand the training intensity of the ordinary Western Army for three years, and now the riding skills of the soldiers of the middle battalion have already improved by leaps and bounds.

The weekday drills of the Great Song Army and the drill intensity of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army are incomparable. Even if it is an elite Western army, it is already very high intensity to drill every three days, and to practice for an hour or two at a time.

However, the drills of the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army were basically carried out every day, and the daily drills lasted for a long time. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that their training of this intensity is three years a year.

Of course, with such a high intensity, the degree of consumption of the warrior's body and the consumption of the war horse is also very high.

Fortunately, there are a lot of profitable transactions in Jingqiang Village, and the food supply for the 300 people in the camp is still very sufficient. The soldiers in the middle battalion of the Pingxi Army are supplied with sufficient beef and mutton, eggs and milk every day, which can supplement the soldiers' consumption to the greatest extent.

As for the war horses, Jingqiang Village now has the war horses brought back by the Yang family caravan from Yinxing and the city every month, which is still very abundant, and can withstand the consumption of high-intensity drills in the middle camp.

Of course, the reason why the middle camp can practice like this is mainly because the number of people is small, and Jingqiang Village can afford it.

Not all other units of the Western Army do not want to increase the intensity of the exercise, mainly because they need a lot of energy after the exercise. For a drill, at least you have to open meat for the soldiers! They don't have these material guarantees from Jingqiang Village, so the three-day drill is already very good.

Although the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty is the most capable of fighting and has contributed the most to the Great Song Dynasty, in terms of equipment and treatment, it is really incomparable with the forbidden army in Beijing. This is for the Western Army, alas...... Can't say...... It's all tears! (To be continued.) )
