Chapter 100: The Cavalry

Now the Dingxiang army has a lot of war horses.

Originally, Shi Jin had 2,000 war horses. After defeating the Liao army, Shi Jin captured nearly 7,000 good horses suitable for war.

Then he used the firearms of the Song army to exchange 4,000 horses from the Jurchen Wanyan tribe.

After occupying Liaodong, Shi Jin already had a stable source of horses, and he no longer had to rely on smuggling to obtain horses as before.

During this time, Shi Jin had sent people to purchase 4,000 good horses from all over Liaodong, and now the Dingxiang army had 17,000 war horses.

Counting the good horses that may be obtained in the future, it is more important for Shi Jin to establish a department to manage the horses to maintain a stable source of horses and the health of the horses.

In terms of familiarity with horses, Shi Jin's subordinates are the purple-haired Bohuang Fuduan and the golden retriever Duan Jingzhu are the most familiar.

At the beginning, Shi Jin was going to let the purple-haired Bo Huangfu serve as the director of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

However, Huangfu is a veterinarian, and since he occupied Liaodong, he also came to Liaodong.

There are so many cattle, sheep, pigs and horses here, and he is busy healing all kinds of domestic animals, where is the extra time to purchase, responsible for management.

Now that Duan Jingzhu has returned, Shi Jin doesn't need to let him continue to steal horses. simply let him serve as the director of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, who is responsible for procurement and managing the horses.

With so many war horses and a stable source of war horses, Shi Jin was ready to establish a cavalry army according to the plan.

Shi Jin thought about it for a few days, and then discussed it with several major cavalry generals such as Zhu Wu, Xu Guanzhong, Luan Tingyu, Shi Wengong, and Hu Yanzhuo.

Shi Jin finally decided to abandon the inflexible ironclad chain horse and form 3,000 heavy cavalry, known as the Tiger Ben.

Hu Yanzhuo, the double whip, served as the main general, and Han Tao, the general of Yum, and Peng Xi, the general of Tianmu, served as the deputy general.

The cavalry of the Tiger Army are all wearing armor.

Heavy cavalry warriors wore armor weighing sixty or seventy pounds to fight, which required a strong physique.

In order to select suitable warriors, Hu Yanzhuo obtained Shi Jin's permission to select from the cavalry.

Hu Yanzhuo's selection method is very simple, as long as someone can carry the hundred-pound stone lock, go around the training ground, and walk three laps.

The tiger warriors selected from the tens of thousands of cavalry were all three thick and five strong, with a large waist and ten girths. With so many rough men standing together, just looking at them can scare a bunch of people to death.

The weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army were mainly two-meter-long wooden cavalry spears, maces, axes, and hammers, all of which were heavy weapons.

The Tiger Ben Army has only one combat mission, that is, to attack the fortified positions head-on. Use the massive impact of the charge to break down the enemy's defenses.

Assemble three thousand rangers, called the Wind Wolf. The fast gun Shi Wengong served as the main general, and the ugly horse Xuanzan served as the deputy general.

The cavalry of the Wind Wolf Army is different from the Tiger Army, and the men and horses are not all wearing armor, and the whole army is lightly armed.

The difference is that the cavalry of the Wind Wolf Army is one man with two horses, and some people even have one person with three horses.

The wind wolf rider warrior is the first archery technique, and Shi Wengong's selection method is also very simple. Sixty steps, ten arrows, and five arrows on horseback to hit the target!

The weapons in the hands of the soldiers of the Wind Wolf Army are good bows, four pots of arrows, and sabers.

There is only one task for the Wind Wolf Army, which is harassment. Taking advantage of the mobility of the horse, it runs thousands of miles and harasses non-stop.

Six thousand light cavalry were formed, and the day flying leopards were divided into left and right wings.

Luan Tingyu with an iron rod served as the chief general of the left-wing flying leopard, and Yuan Lang, the red-faced tiger, served as the deputy general.

Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming served as the chief general of the right-wing flying leopard, and Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin served as the deputy general.

The cavalry of the Flying Leopard Army is a light armored cavalry between heavy cavalry and rangers, and the men wear armor, but the horses do not wear armor. Equipped with five javelins, round shields, spears, ring-headed knives, bows and arrows.

Since the Flying Leopards are somewhere between the Rangers and the Heavy Cavalry, their tasks are also more cumbersome.

During the march, the left and right flanks of the central army were lined up to protect the infantry.

When attacking, sometimes it is necessary to act as a frontal attack, and sometimes it is necessary to cooperate with the infantry to outflank the enemy and then surprise the enemy.

Now there are more and more cavalry of the Liangshan Army, and the formation of the Liangshan Army must also be adjusted before this.

Before, because they were basically infantry, the Five Sisters Plum Blossom Formation, which focused on defense, was no longer suitable for the current Dingxiang Army.

During this time, Shi Jin and Zhu Wu often stayed in the barracks, discussed with many generals, and finally determined the crane wing array that was conducive to an active attack and encirclement of the enemy.

The wind wolf horse led by Shi Wengong roamed, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The Chinese army led by Shi Jin was heavily hoarded. When defending, you can stay still. When attacking, it can move like thunder, invade like fire, and crush the enemy with heavy blows.

The flying leopard riders led by Luan Tingyu and Qin Ming acted as two wings.

The two wings can be opened and closed freely, which can be used to copy the enemy's flanks, and can also be used to flank the enemy who breaks into the middle of the formation.

The new formation was determined, and now the Dingxiang army led by Shi Jin is as many as 100,000.

100,000 soldiers and horses, this is not a small number, and the march and camp will occupy more than ten miles.

With so many soldiers and horses, how to convey military orders as quickly as possible?

How to ensure the accuracy of military orders?

What kind of formation can be used to bring into play the maximum combat effectiveness of the whole army?

How do cavalry and infantry cooperate in battle?

How should the firearms of the Dingxiang army cooperate with the cavalry in order to play a coordinated battle?

Will the new horses be able to adapt to the roar of artillery, and not be frightened by the sound of the sound on the battlefield, and throw the cavalry off their horses?

Wait a minute......

These problems cannot be solved verbally, but must be trained and drilled to find out and solve problems. Re-training, re-running-in, and finally verified on the battlefield.

Every step must not be sloppy, otherwise once there is a problem in one link, it may cause heavy casualties or even failure.

In order to familiarize himself with the new formation as soon as possible, Shi Jin ensured that he could accurately convey orders and command like an arm. He stayed in the barracks all this time!

Just when Shi Jin was busy in the dark, Wang Si sent someone to speak.

Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye have arrived in Liaoyang and are in the palace. Although he was very busy, but Dacai came, Shi Jin still rushed back and prepared to be warmly entertained, so as to show his love for talent.

Walking into the main hall, I saw Wang Si being carefully accompanied there.

Shi Jinyi walked into the main hall and hurriedly said to Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye: "The two wise men have been waiting for a long time. The king did not know that the two wise men were coming today, and they were not welcomed. I'm sorry! Fist clench! ”

Zong Ze didn't even get up, he directly had a stinky face, and didn't give Shi Jin face at all.

This made Shi Jin stunned for a moment, as his reputation grew.

When others see themselves, they have always been respectful, and they don't know how to worship them. didn't expect that he would be ignored by others, which made Shi Jin really cry and laugh.

Fortunately, now Shi Jin is not alone, and he has a large gang under his command. Immediately, someone couldn't look past it and stood up.
