Chapter 281: The Momentum of the Cavalry

Now that he has made a decision, Zhao Yougong will not hesitate any longer, summons Ah Zhu, and earnestly instructs, "Ah Zhu, you go to Taihua Mountain immediately, and order Niu Boyuan to occupy Shaohua Mountain and Lingtai Mountain as fast as possible." ”

When he first came to the ancient town, but he didn't even drink saliva, Ah Zhu was naturally a little depressed, and muttered with a small face, "Your Highness, are you too anxious?" ”

"Okay, don't complain, hurry up, stay on Taihua Mountain after finishing your errands, this king will go to Taihua Mountain in a few days, in addition, you have a lot of ghost ideas, and you can help Niu Bo stay away, this guy in the province will have a bull temper again."

"Okay, drink saliva and leave" Ah Zhu glanced at Zhao Yougong, sat at the table and drank tea by herself, although she complained a lot, but Zhao Yougong was not too worried, Ah Zhu is like this, even if he nags again, he is still very serious about doing things. After drinking a few sips of tea, Ah Zhu left the Dragon Gate Inn sullenly, this time Zhao Yougong personally sent her to the edge of the town, so that Ah Zhu's face was better.

When I was waiting to return to the inn again, I saw that Xiao Zhiyun had already talked to Dongfang Jin about cavalry training, just listening to Dongfang Jin, there was always something unclear, and after a while, Xiao Zhiyun went to the horse farm in the west. Walking on the road, Xiao Meiren didn't forget to say a few sarcastic words, "I know that you won't be so kind as to deliberately bring me to Longmen Ancient Town, and make trouble for a long time just to make money." ”

"Look at what you said, if you hadn't deliberately thought about you, you could have come directly to the ancient town at that time, why do you need to go to Dayangtan again?"

As she spoke, she wanted to pull Xiao Meiren's hand, but Xiao Meiren had already taken precautions and put her hand behind her back. Tut-tut chuckled. "You have a point. Don't forget what you promised. ”

This time, it was Zhao Xiaojunwang's turn to be stunned, and asked with a frown, "What did you promise?" What are you all about? ”

"Do you really not know, or are you playing stupid? Last night, hair, that's what you said" Xiao Meiren left a sentence and walked forward quickly. Zhao Yougong grinned and shook his head secretly, he had never seen Xiao Zhiyun so attentive to him before. Hey, all kinds of flattery and flattery in the past, the result is not as good as a bottle of so-called shampoo, grandma is a bear, and she is really angry.

When she just spoke, Ana really listened to her, and she didn't come up with a clue for a long time to catch up. Leaning over and whispering, "Your Highness." What did Princess Gang say about hair, what happened to the hair? ”

"Oh, you're interested in this? In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that your princess wants to become a nun, so she ordered this king to shave her degree, and this king is now thinking about where to find a pair of scissors. ”

Ana naturally didn't believe it, and ran to the front to ask Xiao Zhiyun with a pout, of course, she couldn't help but add fuel to Zhao Xiaojunwang's call. It is a good choice to become a nun, as long as he is willing to do so.

The racecourse is very large, with an open field to the east and a target forest to the west, and on the field, every 100 people are constantly practicing the formation in a small team. The cavalry formation is not the same as the infantry, and the difficulty is not a little bit, after all, people can understand the password, as long as it takes a long time, they can form a conditioned reflex. But the cavalry can't, because they can ride a horse under their crotch. War horses must be trained by a special horse trainer, and only after they are familiar with simple gestures and passwords can the cavalry be trained immediately, no matter how other cavalry is trained, at least Zhao Yougong's cavalry is trained like this. Only when both horses and men have a uniform gesture command can this cavalry training be counted as a door. Every hundred people are a team, there is also a special reason, the cavalry can not fight alone, the power of the cavalry lies in the formation, if it is a single head, the cavalry will lose its powerful impact. A team of 100 people has both impact and flexibility. On the battlefield, a team of 1,000 people, once it needs to be divided and outflanked, it can be divided into 100 teams in an instant.

Never underestimate the speed of the division of troops, because on the battlefield, every step ahead can often take the initiative.

Seeing Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun coming, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, who were in charge of training, also walked over from the north platform together, and when they came closer, the two of them saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, why are you here at this time?" ”

"Hehe, it's not that this king is coming, but Xiao Shuai is coming" Zhao Yougong stood aside and let Xiao Zhiyun to the front, Lin Chong and Yang Zhi are also smart people, so they naturally understand what Zhao Yougong means. Xiao Shuai is here, I'm afraid he wants to see the results of the cavalry.

After Lin Chong signaled Yang Zhi to accompany Zhao Yougong and the two to speak, they went to Jiangtai. The so-called horse farm will be very simple, nothing more than ramming a little higher with soil, but this does not affect the role of the general. There was a small wooden barrel on the platform, and there were more than a dozen small flags of different colors in the barrel, Lin Chong lowered his head and took out a small red flag, shouted violently, raised his hand and waved the flag, and saw that all the cavalry squads scattered around the horse farm gathered to the east, and more than 3,000 cavalrymen had gathered together in just one cup of tea. The most surprising thing is that the horse team is lined up horizontally and vertically, and the knights on the horse all hold the reins of their horses and stand up to look ahead, only the horses make a little snort from time to time.

Xiao Zhiyun was a little surprised, because this horse farm is not big, it is not small, it is not easy to gather in a cup of tea, not to mention that the array is so neat. Such an order is forbidden, even the Iron Floating Tu Elite Cavalry under Yelu Dashi cannot do this.

Lin Chong threw the flag into the bucket, took a few steps and turned over a black horse, hit the horse forward, facing thousands of cavalry, he pulled out the saber on his waist, the leopard's eyes were wide open, and shouted, "The whole army listens to the order, divides, the left and right wings, and the heavy cavalry charge in the middle!" ”

The cavalry of the ancient town, with quite perfect, no one has a saber improved on the basis of the Tang knife, put a heavy gun on the horseback, this kind of gun has a blunt head, it is completely built for the charge division formation, in order to carry it conveniently, the gun is divided into two parts, each part is about two feet. With Lin Chong's order, the brigade immediately divided into two thousand-man teams left and right, and the thousand-man team in the middle turned the horse's head, opened the distance between the front and back, and formed ten hundred-man teams, these soldiers put the saber into the sheath, took out the heavy gun parts from the horse, and twisted it vigorously on the interface, turning it into a complete heavy gun.

Lean forward. The heavy gun was clamped in the right arm. Grip the handle of the gun with both hands. Then the leaders of each squad drew their sabers and shouted, "Front team, rush!" ”

"Kill!" All the cavalry shouted in unison, their eyes widened, and a shout shook the universe with murderous intent. With a flick of the horse's reins, a hundred-man team in front of him was like a dragon head. rushed out in an instant, and the hundred-man team behind him also followed suit. The sound of horses' hooves and the fierce heavy cavalry guns shook the earth for a while. Ten hundred-man teams, but there is a certain gap between each team, this gap is about a dozen zhang, so that it can not only maintain the coherence of the charge, but also prevent accidents. Once the front man is blocked by unpredictable obstacles, the man behind has enough time to react. Of course, this requires familiar drills, otherwise. A distance of more than ten zhang can be reached in a blink of an eye.

The heavy cavalry charged in the middle, and when the two hundred-man teams rushed out, the cavalry guarding both flanks raised their sabers and outflanked them. The cavalry swept by, like a chariot crushing, this violent breath can really be regarded as a horse like a dragon and a man like a tiger. There is a way for laymen to see the excitement, and insiders to watch the doorway, Xiao Zhiyun looked very carefully, and he found that this cavalry had not panicked from gathering to separating, not to mention the kind of thing where the war horses collided and trampled on each other. This is really amazing, it seems that this Zhao Yougong's training method is unique.

The cavalry rushed to the horse farm and turned around, this time Lin Chong drew another flag and waved it three times, at which time the hundred-man team at the front of the middle put away the heavy spear and took out a chain from the horse jacket. The hundred-man team distanced themselves and formed a phalanx, with each of the two horses separated by more than a foot in front and back, and an iron chain in the middle was tightly connected. As for why the chains can be connected, it is because the saddle of the war horse is specially made, and no saddle has a hook on it, so you only need to hang the chain on the hook when needed.

A total of three hundred-man teams in the front and rear were connected with iron locks, while several hundred-man teams behind them put away their spears, drew their sabers, and struck their horses forward on the left and right wings, level with the front of the middle lane. This time it was also a charge, but the momentum was completely different, where the cavalry passed, the targets standing on the horse field were all swept to the ground by iron chains, and some of them were also cut off by the cavalry behind them.

Xiao Zhiyun is a knowledgeable person, isn't this the legendary iron horse chain, also known as the iron lock kidnapping horse, it is said that Yelu Dashi is also studying this kind of cavalry, but I didn't expect the Han people to get it first. The power of the iron horse chain, needless to mention, when the cavalry war horse is armored, that is, invulnerable, of course, you can also cut the horse's leg, but under the fierce cavalry charge, who is willing to exchange their life for a horse's leg?

Seeing this cavalry, Xiao Zhiyun also understood why Zhao Yougong smashed the pot and sold iron to get together the armor, these cavalry are treasures, it is definitely worth spending hundreds of thousands of gold for such a cavalry, but in the whole world, it is estimated that only Zhao Yougong can have such courage. Almost uncontrollable, he thought of the thousands of Tiefutu under Yelu Dashi, if this cavalry encountered the Tiefutu, what would be the result?

"Have you ever thought that if one day, you will go head-to-head with the Iron Floating Massacre, and with the impact of this cavalry, you will not be able to withstand the frontal attack of the Iron Floating Massacre."

Listening to Xiao Zhiyun's words, Zhao Yougong sneered twice and snorted disdainfully, "Tiefutu? Are you stupid to be the king? Only a fool would fight hard with Tiefutu, and kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, this king will not do it. Of course, this king also has a way to deal with Tiefutu, but for now, keep it a secret. ”

"Confidentiality, it's all now, and you still have to hide it from me!" Although Xiao Zhiyun was a little unhappy, she didn't blame Zhao Yougong, anyone would choose this way, after all, the method of dealing with Tiefutu was too important, and sometimes it could only be used once. Although some methods can only be used once, they are enough, because there are only a few thousand people in the Tiefutu of Daliao, and the losses are really too heavy, and if you want to replenish them, it will be useless for two or three years.

Hey, no wonder Zhao Yougong is so confident that he can emerge in next year's battle to conquer Liao, this cavalry is his reliance, just in the land of Guanzhong and even Western Xia, who can stop this cavalry. At that time, this cavalry was inevitably going to collide with the Da Liao cavalry, and she really didn't want to see this day, but she couldn't stop it, because this was something that would happen sooner or later.

On today's trip, Xiao Zhiyun gained a lot, and of course, the shock in her heart was indescribable. The soldiers continued to train, Xiao Zhiyun stayed in the horse farm to observe carefully, and Zhao Yougong followed Yang Zhi to other places, and Ana and Xiao Ah Jiu were not interested in training, so they naturally followed.

It turns out that the thousands of war horses obtained from Niu Xin Pavilion are all good horses, among which there is a horse king with a violent personality, this horse king has not been tamed so far, I heard Yang Zhi say, for this horse has injured several people, and this horse has a very high vision, as long as anyone enters his territory, it is a person who will kick people, and a horse will kick a horse.

"Your Highness, you don't know, this fierce horse is very annoying, you see, if you can't tame it, your subordinates will slaughter him, grandma is a bear, a broken horse, it looks like a king of heaven."

Zhao Yougong was quite speechless about Yang Zhi's words, but it must be rare to be able to make Yang Zhi such an irritable horse. (To be continued......)
