Chapter 767: Rushing Night Battle

Everything that can be done in the military camp drill is that the Xiliang Battalion and the White Horse Battalion in front of him can be regarded as the extreme, and it is difficult to find out any weaknesses with Liu Yi's critical eye on the cavalry, and the rest is the test of actual combat on the battlefield! At this point, Lang Sheng has enough confidence in these generals under his command, Hua Xiong, Fan Chou, Yan Gang, Wen Chou, Yan Liang, Ma Chao, this is a well-known cavalry general today, and it is the concerted efforts of everyone that can make the training and actual combat of the Yan cavalry have a top level at the end of the Han Dynasty or compared with the previous generations!

In fact, among the commanders of the eight main forces under Liu Yi, there are also many who are able to command the cavalry army and are by no means under the above-mentioned generals, Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang Junyi, Xu Gongming, and Gao Tingxuan are also among the leaders, but the burden on their shoulders is heavier at this time! Compared with the infantry army, the cavalry is more in need of an arrow figure, generally speaking, they are the main generals in the army, their martial arts can maximize the impact ability of the cavalry, Liu Yi and Zhao Yun have been playing this role, the same characters in the enemy army Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan!

In terms of force alone, Yan Gang and Fan Chou are a little inferior to the other four commanders, of course, their prestige in the army and their ability to lead the army are enough to make up for this shortcoming, but Liu Yi has always liked to do things, and he is also thinking about how to strengthen the second battalion here, and this time after comparing the martial arts of the apprentice and the second son, this candidate can already be determined, these two junior generals should be able to be competent for the responsibility of the arrowhead of the whole army, whether it is the commander of the army or Wu Yong!

"Zhongfu, Ziwei, if our army needs to rush and assault in wartime, how far can the second battalion of Xiliang Baima go?" After watching the drill of the cavalry, Liu Yi asked the second general of Huaxiong Yan Gang, rushing is a common tactic of the cavalry, and this method is often used to strike at some strategic points far away from the enemy, and the best in the Three Kingdoms is the general Xiahou Yuan of the Cao army. In the Battle of Yanzhou, this tactic will be used by Liu Yi in a key way, so there are also high requirements for this.

"Back to King Yan, the drill outline is two hundred miles at full speed, and my second battalion of Xiliang White Horse can do it within three hundred miles!" Huaxiong Yan Gang heard the words and looked at each other at a glance by Yan Gang, the three hundred miles mentioned here is not a race, but in the shortest time after the cavalry to run such a distance, but also to maintain a relatively intact combat strength to facilitate them to immediately attack the target, according to his previous experience, Liu Yi in the drill outline for each battalion have put forward clear requirements, obviously the Yan Gang and Hua Xiong in front of them have improved this standard after hard training!

Since serving Liu Yi in Youzhou, Yan Gang has been the commander of the White Horse Battalion for ten years, and he may only be ranked last among the commanders in terms of martial arts, but what Lang Sheng values is his incomparably rich experience in cavalry actual combat! And accurately grasp the horsepower and do the best distribution is what Yan Zhongfu is best at, when the Huns knocked on the pass, he and Zhao Yun led the white horse battalion to run more than 200 miles overnight, and the next day under the pass to break the Hun cavalry for the Youzhou army to win the first battle, one of the biggest reasons is the anticipation of horsepower, for how to make the cavalry after a long-distance attack still have the most complete combat power Yan Gang is undoubtedly very speakable, this iron cavalry battalion commander Zhao Yun is a great benefit, Youzhou Martial Arts Academy Yan Gang is also the main speaker of this way!

"Three hundred miles? Zhongfu is really powerful, but I don't know if General Fan and General Wen are also the same? Liu Yi would not doubt Yan Gang's words at all, as the lord, he must understand the strengths of each of the generals under his command in order to deploy freely on the battlefield, of course, he also knows the importance of this extra hundred miles for the attack tactics, and asked again at the moment!

"Looking at the details of this drill outline that day, the outline knows that King Yan has no reservations, and the king is still like this, how dare the last general hide his secrets? General Fan and General Wen and I all have a lot of exchange and training methods, so this way of running will not be under my second battalion, but there are many Youzhou horse farms, and the last general would not dare to be so praised by the king of Yan. "Liu Yi wrote the drill outline to put his life's experience into it, and the generals also benefited a lot from their own verification, King Yan led by example, and the generals under his command would not have reservations, Yan Gang was like this in the iron cavalry camp!

Among the four battalions of the iron cavalry battalion, Wen Chou's heavy cavalry battalion is a more special one, this battalion not only has a full body of heavy armor, but also the war horse is also draped, and the battle can be described as invincible, this battalion has been personally led by Zhao Yun until the battle of Jizhou, until the battle of Jizhou Hebei Shuangxiong to serve Zilong is in the position of the assassin history before this important task was handed over to Wen Chou, this training as the newly appointed commander of the heavy cavalry battalion, Wen Gongheng spent countless efforts here, including the communication with the rest of the commanders! The heavy cavalry battalion is invincible but also cannot be too durable due to its own heavy burden, this weakness has become the focus of Wen Chou's great efforts to improve, and now it is quite successful, and in the rush, because the heavy cavalry battalion has always been one person and two horses, the speed of the heavy cavalry battalion will not be below the other three battalions after gaining Yan Gang's horsepower experience!

In addition to the excellent drill and communication, Youzhou Horse Farm has also made a great contribution to improving the endurance of war horses, of course, it is not a change of horses, there are more than 100,000 cavalry in one of the four battalions, and it is impossible to replace them all, this improvement is reflected in the feed and maintenance of war horses, the quality of feed is up, the physique of war horses will be enhanced, and more detailed horse breeding can also play a role in improving, so the commanders of each battalion are full of praise for horse idiots and horse yuan, Only Liu Yi knew the cost!

"Hahaha, when did Zhongfu become so humble? The horse farm is solid, and your contribution is not small, but it is not enough to communicate with each other, Zhongfu still needs to write out all the experience, and now Sizhou is also training the cavalry, this method should be of great use! Liu Yi smiled when he heard this, Yan Gang has a lot in common with his second brother Gan Ning in terms of personality, and rarely has humility.

As for the feed used by the Yan army's war horses now, it is also a very high secret in the army, not to mention that after using this feed, the cost of a war horse for a year will be doubled, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry and hundreds of thousands of war horses This is a huge number, that is, the wealth of Liu Yi's subordinates allows him to be so open to supply, even if he can guarantee otherwise, he will have an impact!

"Hehe, don't dare to bother King Yan about this matter, the three generals have already ordered the last general to write it out and send it to Sizhou, presumably General Ma is also using it now, King Yan can rest assured." Liu Yi couldn't look at the overall situation in an all-round way, but if he could think of it here, how could he not think of Zhao Yun? When he heard that Guo Junshi persuaded Chang'an Liang Xing to join Liu Yi and to train the cavalry led by Ma Chao, Pang De and others, he asked Yan Zhongfu to record it, and then passed it to Sizhou Zhang Thorn Shi through Tian'er's method of communication.

"Okay, Zilong has always acted meticulously, and he has done a very good job, it is getting late today, and everyone will go back to the camp with Lone first." Liu Yi said when he heard this, whether it is a martial arts leader or the current affairs of a state, the third brother Zhao Yun is extremely fine, and now this matter is arranged more thoroughly, saving himself a lot of worries, seeing that the sky is getting dark at this time, he said that the generals said!

"King Yan, don't worry, there are still night battle drills for the last general and others that have not been shown to King Yan!" Yan Gang glanced at Hua Xiong when he heard this, and Ziwei naturally understood when he saw it, and hurriedly said to Liu Yi. Generally speaking, it is very dangerous to ride a horse at night, and it is difficult to do this without skilled horsemanship, which shows the difficulty of night battles for cavalry, Liu Yi did not make key requirements for this in the drill outline, and the training should also have a priority, too much curiosity is not taken by the generals, Yan Gang and Hua Xiong will only have this behavior after the regular subjects are full, and today I also want to give King Yan an accident!

"Night fights? Zhongfu Ziwei has a good mind, what else can I bring out! Liu Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he knew that the battle array was ever-changing, no one could count all the situations, and one more preparation would be more certain, and with his understanding of the two generals, he would never distinguish between priority and priority, and the daytime drill had already explained everything, so he also said happily that the intentions of the generals under his command were worth encouraging, how could he care about the little tricks of the two?

"There is also the fact that the last general and others have already prepared wine and food here, please watch King Yan while using it!" Yan Gang said very respectfully when he heard this, and with a slight wave of his hand, the soldiers around him had already carried a few cases and came to the front, and the meat, fruits, vegetables, wine, and side dishes were prepared with great care, all of which were liked by Liu Yi!

"Hahahaha, Zhongfu Ziwei is well-intentioned, if Lone is not accepted, it will not violate your intentions, come, all the generals will sit with Lone and share the food, this night battle method will be arranged immediately!" Liu Yi laughed for a while and then beckoned the generals to eat together, today he came here to watch the second camp of the exercise, only used a little dry food at noon, now seeing this delicious stomach can't help but be hungry, presumably the generals who accompany him should also be like this, he naturally will not eat alone!

There is not much false etiquette in the army, and the words of King Yan are also military orders, and the generals also sit on the ground and have dinner with King Yan when they hear the words, but Hua Xiong takes the bow and arrow from the hands of the soldiers and shoots it into the sky, with the sharp sound of the arrow breaking through the air, countless torches soon appeared in the cavalry column under the flat hill, and the night sky is also reflected extremely bright!
