Chapter 216: I want to go and see it
As soon as I heard that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gave territory, many leaders of the Twist Army became interested, after all, it is not a matter to be a horse bandit all the time, and the income of a hammer in the east and a stick in the west cannot be guaranteed, and it will be difficult to turn over in the future.
"Xian, you want us to block the attack of the Qing army for you in Huibei." Miao Peilin is very powerful, and he pointed out Yang Xiaoshan's thoughts at once.
"This Miao military division, the territory of our Heavenly Kingdom extends from Nanjing to Wuhan, occupying the territory of Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi provinces, no matter how much you want to rely on it, it is not inferior to Huibei." Yang Xiaoshan reacted quite quickly, although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not have many troops now, but now the territory is big, which is enough to bluff people. As an outsider, no one could guess how much strength the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had. After further propaganda and touting to the outside world, many people think that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the imperial court are now on a par.
Yang Xiaoshan's words stopped Miao Peilin, whoever has a big territory in these years has thick arms and a loud voice. If you have a territory, you will be half of the government, and if you don't have a territory, you are just a rogue and can't be put on the stage.
"Your Northern Expeditionary Army has been wiped out, can we count on you?" Miao Peilin thought about it and continued to make a stalk.
"I want to ask everyone here, since the Qing Dynasty, which rebel army has been able to fight near the capital? It's that Wu Sangui, the vassal king rebelled, and he didn't cross the Yellow River. Let's just say that our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the only one, everyone says that what I said is right? Yang Xiaoshan sneered.
"That's right, Yang Dashuai is right."
"Yes, it's still the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."
。。。。。。
The leaders of the Twist Army below nodded yes one after another, what Yang Xiaoshan said was the truth, and Lin Fengxiang and others passed by Henan, and their combat effectiveness was seen by some leaders of the Twist Army, and it was indeed a team with extremely strong combat effectiveness.
"You!" Miao Peilin had never lost in his mouth before, it was he who convinced others, and he didn't expect Yang Xiaoshan to say a few words, he didn't take advantage of it at all, but fell behind, and everyone else thought that Yang Xiaoshan was reasonable.
"Well, when you're so happy, don't talk about that. This is something that makes me think about it. "Zhang Lexing came over to play the round.
Since Zhang Mengzhu has spoken, he still has to give face. Yang Xiaoshan also felt that such a major matter still had to give others time to think about it. Although Miao Peilin was not convinced, he was helpless to take Yang Xiaoshan, so he didn't say more.
"Father, my son has said hello to you." A little boy in his mid-twelve-year-old suddenly walked over.
"Zongbao, why are you here?" Zhang Lexing likes this little son very much, almost all of their Zhang family are old and coarse, and none of them are literate. This child has been smart and clever since he was a child, can read, and has a well-behaved and cute personality, which is deeply favored by Zhang Lexing and has high hopes for him.
"My son heard that Yang Dashuai fought in the south and the north, and he was knowledgeable, broad-minded, and omniscient, so he wanted to ask one or two questions." This Zhang Zongbao's temperament has been praising Yang Xiaoshan in front of him since his father met Yang Xiaoshan. Zhang Zongbao had never seen his father admire a person so much before, and his competitive spirit was spontaneous, and he wanted to see where Yang Xiaoshan was sacred, and he could be praised by his father like this.
Zhang Zongbao's serious appearance made everyone laugh.
Yang Xiaoshan didn't care, what difficult questions could such an older child ask? Smiled and said, "Tell me, what's wrong with you." ”
"Zong Bao heard that you are the commander of the three armies of the Taiping Army, and I want to ask Yang Dashuai, do you know cavalry? What should cavalry combat look like? "Zhang Zongbao's question is quite tricky, the Twist Army is all from the cavalry, and has lived on horseback for many years, and almost all the leaders of the Twist Army here are experts, if there is a loophole in the answer, don't say it himself, everyone here can understand it in their hearts.
Yang Xiaoshan hadn't taken this kid seriously just now, and as soon as this question came out, he was in a cold sweat. The Taiping Army has never organized a main cavalry brigade, and its own cavalry is also a small force or dismounted cavalry. This little imp really asked about his shortcomings.
"Zongbao, the Taiping Army does not have a special cavalry army, don't embarrass others." Zhang Lexing is here again.
"My son didn't mean to be embarrassed, he just wanted to show that our Twist Army is also a strong team." Zhang Zongbao also plans to stop at the point.
"Although I am not as good as you, I have always fought with cavalry and Qing Demons, but I still understand the most advanced cavalry tactics of this era, but it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do." Yang Xiaoshan still spoke, he couldn't lose his share at this time, which made people look down on him.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Zhang Lexing was quite surprised, he didn't expect Yang Xiaoshan to even dare to answer this, but since he dared to speak, he must have relied on it. After getting along for a few days, Zhang Lexing still has confidence in Yang Xiaoshan.
"I know that everyone must think that cavalry fighting and riding is the most important, in fact, as far as I know, foreign cavalry is not based on horsemanship, but discipline is the most important, their cavalry charges people to people, horses rely on horses, everyone acts in unison, rushes over like a wall, and still maintains a formation after rushing, such cavalry tactics and individual horsemanship can be ignored, and the discipline of the team determines the outcome of the victory." Yang Xiaoshan is a traverser, and the charging pictures of various modern cavalry have been interpreted by various movies, and the pictures are unforgettable.
"Really? And such a charge? It's impossible. The leaders of the Twist Army had never heard of it, and they exchanged their heads and ears.
Zhang Zongbao instead showed a look of surprise, he was full of curiosity about all unknown things, Yang Xiaoshan's words made him think of a picture, such a wall-riding combat method, even if the opponent's personal martial arts and riding skills are exquisite, they can't face the simultaneous attack of many people, which is equivalent to sweeping away the dust with a brush.
"And what if the enemy doesn't engage you and circles you with mounted archery?" Zhang Zongbao immediately threw out his own questions again.
"With pistols or cavalry rifles, the range of firearms in this era is far greater than that of bows and arrows, and long-range shots of bows and arrows are at a disadvantage." Yang Xiaoshan added.
"Is there such a powerful firearm?" Zhang Zongbao couldn't believe it, he had seen it with a gun, and the others were unheard of.
"Yes, the world has changed a lot, not only firearms, but also military horses have been greatly developed, most of our current horses are naturally produced, and foreign horses are constantly crossbred and improved to give birth to more powerful new horse breeds, in the war horses we have fallen far behind." Yang Xiaoshan's words left everyone speechless.
Almost everyone felt that they were listening to the book of heaven, and they couldn't understand or imagine what Yang Xiaoshan said.
"Yang Dashuai, I want to go and see, see the gun you said, the horse you said." Only Zhang Zongbao showed an expression of infinite fascination.
