"Back to Your Majesty, the immortals are back, and they are still gathered in the bamboo forest medicine house with the Hu Doctor Girl." The attendant at the head replied, "There is no one else around. ”

"Has the origin of the medicine girl ever been found?" Zhao Huan asked again.

"It has been found out that this woman is the third daughter of Hu Qizheng, the commander of the forbidden army, whose name is Liying, and her nickname is Sanniang. Hu Qizheng's son Hu Dasheng is the Marquis of Yu, she is the companion of her brother, her brother died in the battle, she was saved by the immortals, so they met. The attendant replied.

After listening to the attendant's answer, Zhao Huan was silent for a while, and then asked, "Have the immortals ever been to Longde Palace?" ”

Longde Palace is the place where his father Zhao Ji is under house arrest, and what Zhao Huan is most worried about now is that the "Qilin Immortal" takes the initiative to contact the "Sect Leader Daojun Emperor".

"Immortals sometimes fly over the Dragon De Palace to Gen Yue, but none of them descend." Of course, the attendant understood the emperor's concern, and immediately replied cautiously.

Hearing this answer, Zhao Huan felt a little stable in his heart. But then something else immediately came to his mind.

"Can the immortals go to the Pingrong armor depot to get weapons?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the immortal went to the Pingrong armor warehouse yesterday, inspected it for a long time, and then retrieved a set of step armor and an iron shovel." The attendant replied, "The step armor is now stored in the south wall defense building, I don't know what it wants to do." The iron wedge is worn by him. ”

"Didn't the immortal carry a magic knife with him?" Zhao Huan asked again quietly.

"Yes, the immortal said that this knife should not be used lightly, and now the knife has been handed over to Sun Shumi's custody. Sun Shumi once asked a famous teacher to test this knife, and the teacher said that this knife was made of heavenly iron, which was extremely sharp and not corroded, and it was indeed a divine object. The attendant replied.

"What do the immortals do with the Hu medicine girl in the bamboo forest medicine house?" Zhao Huan thought about it and asked again.

The attendants glanced at each other quickly, and the person in the lead replied, "Most of the immortals and doctors are here...... Yes...... Men and Women ......"

Zhao Huan finally put his mind at ease, he waved his hand, and the attendants all retreated as if they were about to be amnestied.

Zhao Huan recalled Sun Hui's performance when he saw Emperor Roufu when he invited Sun Hui that day, and contacted the answer of the servant just now, and he suddenly had an idea about how to envelop Sun Hui.

Early the next morning, Sun Hui took Hu Liying and invited Gao Pet to the horse training ground together, Di Feng and a few friends arrived early, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised to see Sun Hui arrive with Gao Pet.

Sun Hui introduced Gao Chong to everyone, and told them the experience of fighting side by side, I heard that Gao Chong had killed Jin soldiers with Sun Hui, Di Feng and others were very envious, and several people talked about military affairs, and soon became familiar.

The reason why Sun Hui summoned everyone to the horse training ground today and brought Gao Zhong over was that he wanted these people to help him verify a question that he had been doubting for a long time.

That is what happened to the "Kidnapping Horse" and "Tiefutu" of the Jin Army recorded in the history books.

Because he had experienced two fierce battles with the Jin army, he did not find that there were two legendary cavalry units recorded in the Jin army.

The cavalry system in Chinese military history began with the "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" of King Zhao Wuling during the Warring States Period. Previously, China's military system was dominated by "vehicle warfare". And car warfare was the most effective means of warfare against the nomadic group's attack with cavalry as the main force at that time. However, the biggest flaw of chariot warfare is its inflexibility and slow speed, at most it can "crush" the cavalry, but cannot "annihilate" the cavalry. Since King Wuling of Zhao took the characteristics of the nomads' tight sleeves and light clothing, learned to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and established cavalry troops, China's military tactics have such advanced tactics as cavalry fighting infantry and chariot warfare against cavalry. However, no matter how advanced, the war was still fought with infantry groups as the main force. As a result, in the long process of evolution, the chariot gradually turned to the accompanying means of transport for the army, and only when it encountered the cavalry, it was connected into a "wall", and the infantry hid behind it, blocking the cavalry with bows and arrows.

However, the basic principle of war is to win. And the best way to win is to sneak attack or surprise attack. Therefore, when the infantry on the march or on the battlefield is suddenly attacked by the cavalry with lightning lightning, it is often too late or impossible to use the accompanying vehicles, which forces the infantry to find a tactic that does not rely on vehicles and can effectively deal with cavalry in the field. As a result, the tactics of infantry "point small units" against cavalry came into being.

This tactic is simple and flexible, and can be implemented anytime and anywhere, because it is set according to the "sh-man" structure of the basic units of the military system. When a large-scale cavalry group raid is discovered, as long as the commander gives an order, everyone immediately sits on the ground under the leadership of their respective "Shi people" and takes the "Shi people" as a unit, facing the direction of the enemy cavalry, the first three soldiers sit on the ground, put the end of the spear on the ground, clamp their knees, clench their hands tightly, and the tip of the spear stabs obliquely to the front of one person high, forming the effect of "rejecting the horse"; The three soldiers of the second platoon, kneeling behind them, clenched their spears in both hands, their ends clamped under their armpits, and the tips of their spears pierced about one and a half to two people in front of them—the sole purpose of this formation was to prevent the horses from rushing forward and leaping; The three soldiers standing in the last row, armed with bows and arrows, were responsible for shooting men and horses directly in front of them, to the left and right. The chief is responsible for directing and observing the various orders of his superiors.

Such "Shiren" units are "one point" on the battlefield, and the spacing of the "points" ranges from a few meters to more than 10 meters, and the layout is staggered, seemingly random, but scattered but not chaotic, forcing the enemy cavalry to run around in the middle of these "points" and turn from tactical active attacks to tactical passive beatings.

In actual combat, the infantry also found that although the enemy cavalry had lost its ability to attack them, they could still run around the gaps in the "various points" after all, and did not lose their "maneuvering" ability. Attempts were made to sweep the horse's legs on the side with their spears and interfere with the horse's running, but they did not solve the fundamental problem, but it was on this basis that the infantry was inspired to install a hook-shaped scythe under the spear to sit on the ground or squat on the ground and cut the horse's legs. This is the "hemp knife" - a combat weapon in which a sickle is tied to a spear with hemp rope. That is, the "hook and sickle gun" mentioned in some military books in later generations.

Sun Hui has carefully researched that the "hook and sickle gun" made of spear spurs and iron sickles is actually a legendary weapon recorded in some military books, not a "real combat" weapon in military history. What was really used against the cavalry was not the "hook and sickle", but the "hemp knife". In other words, the pre-built iron handle sickle is usually only an auxiliary instrument, which is separated from the body of the gun, because its hook-shaped blade is too easy to hurt people.
