After sending away the main force of the Tang Army, the inside and outside of Broken Leaf City were finally cleaned, but Zhao Ziliang also knew that this was the most dangerous time for Broken Leaf City, before the main force of the Tang Army was here, and the surrounding Turquoise and other tribes did not dare to move, but at this time, the main force of the Tang Army had all been evacuated, and there were only 1,000 main battle cavalry and 2,000 newly recruited recruits left in Broken Leaf City, and these recruits had not yet been trained. However, as long as he survived the most dangerous three months and waited for the recruits to complete their training, Zhao Ziliang would not be afraid.

Coupled with the newly recruited 2,000 recruits, Zhao Ziliang has a total of 5,000 cavalry, of which 1,000 main battle cavalry are transferred from Qiuzi Town, and the other 2,000 cavalry are Gai Jiayun, Fumeng Lingcha and Zhao Ziliang's own subordinates, the soldiers and horses scattered in Xincheng, General Pei City and the towns east of it are all veterans with rich combat experience, and the ten-division and centurion with rich combat experience lead the team, Zhao Ziliang is not worried about the safety of these cities at all, he has already given an order, if there is really an enemy army to attack, after comparing the strength of the enemy and us, Thinking that he couldn't defeat it, he could abandon the town and lead the army back to Shattered Leaf City and concentrate his forces to fight the enemy together.

In Zhao Ziliang's dictionary, from now on there is no concept of full defense, only defense and not offensive tactics are extremely passive, either to defend and counterattack, or to attack under the condition of ensuring their own safety, or to attack without any defense, and to fight with the nomads, you must give up the concept of defense, because as soon as you defend, the enemy can occupy the high-speed maneuver of the cavalry to fight and run, and when you want to counterattack, the enemy has run away, you can't catch up, you can only be beaten passively.

To deal with the nomadic cavalry, Zhao Ziliang himself summed up a set of tactical points: first, his own maneuverability must not be lower than that of the enemy, that is, the whole army must be equipped with horses.

Second, to deal with enemy cavalry. Whether it is heavy cavalry or light cavalry, their own side can not be a single arm against the enemy, it is best to combine foot, cavalry, and bows, and give full play to the maximum power of each arm to cooperate with each other, cavalry is of course a good way to deal with cavalry, but it is not the best way, the arms do not restrain each other and fight, it is bound to kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred, this kind of trade is not very cost-effective for Zhao Ziliang.

Third. If you want to maintain your high mobility, infantry and crossbowmen should also be equipped with horses, riding horses when marching and dismounting during battle, while cavalry should be equipped with two or three horses to ensure high speed.

Fourth, the armies of the nomads are generally loose in terms of military discipline, so the tactical execution is poorer, in terms of combat formations. The nomads are also significantly inferior to the Tang army, this is the advantage of the Tang army, which must be maintained, if the Tang army loses this advantage. Then in the face of the nomadic army, except for equipment, the Tang army can be said to have no advantage at all.

Fifth, on the battlefield in the Western Regions. All hostile forces are basically guided by the tactical idea of running long distances and attacking in separate directions. In order to defeat the enemy, it is necessary to conduct a deeper study of long-distance attacks and separate attacks and combine attacks, and bring this tactical thinking into full play. To achieve the effect of taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared, it will be difficult to implement this tactic if you wait for the enemy to get the news. This is mainly because the Western Regions are vast and sparsely populated, and there are few forces from all sides in the Western Regions who stick to the city, if the enemy is too strong, the target of the attack has already run away, hiding in any corner of the prairie, it is difficult to find it, so it is necessary to do a good job of concealment, only a long-distance attack can achieve the effect of surprise, so that the target can not escape, and the role of the combined attack is to shorten the marching time and achieve the effect of concealment. As we all know, the larger the team, the slower the march, and the easier it is to be spotted by the enemy, and a combined attack can solve these two problems very well.

However, this is all just a tactical idea, and there is no fighting for the time being, and this kind of tactical thinking has no effect, and the key now is to train the 2,000 recruits into elite soldiers with superb combat quality, tactical movements, and skillful coordination in the shortest possible time.

Zhao Ziliang, as the governor of the Broken Leaf Governor's Mansion, not only has to manage the military, but also manages political affairs, and is very busy, and the training of recruits can only be handed over to Li Siye, Wei Meng, Wang Can, Huo Kan, Lei Wu and Liang Qi and others.

In order to deter the surrounding Turgish tribes, Zhao Ziliang often led a thousand elite cavalry to conduct combat drills in the field, and even reached the middle reaches of the Ili River near Yuegong City when he ran the farthest, which scared Mohe Dagan a lot, and he thought that the Tang army was going to attack him.

Zhao Ziliang knows very well that the army can't be idle, and the soldiers must not be allowed to have time to think about it, so it is easy to have problems, and they don't have time to think about other things, so they can only make the army have to make things full, even if it is the 1,000 field army, since they were transferred, Zhao Ziliang has never let them be idle, and they are full of things every day, either training or patrolling, and they have to learn literacy and learn to sing military songs at night, and sometimes Zhao Ziliang also arranges for them to have prize competitions after training, Several times arranged for them to go down to the Broken Leaf River to fish and swim, through various methods to relieve their irritability and boredom and tense nerves under high-intensity training, and at the same time, through these interesting games, competitions and labor to run in the tacit understanding between them, deepen the feelings between them, which is of great benefit to the improvement of combat effectiveness, not to mention, at least in terms of tactical coordination and cooperation, after several such activities, the soldiers' tactical execution ability has been improved a lot.

On the morning of this day, Zhao Ziliang came to the recruit training camp outside the city to check the progress of the training, and the recruits carried out military posture and queue training on the training ground as a unit, and the role of military posture and queue training is needless to say, Li Siye and Wei Meng and others are very clear about this, so the requirements are very strict when the recruits are trained in the queue.

At this time, although it has entered September, the temperature is still very high, every recruit is hot and sweaty, and the team leaders in charge of training are also hot and sweaty, but no one dares to complain, Zhao Ziliang's requirements for military discipline, all the people who follow him are very clear.

Zhao Ziliang looked at it for a while, called Li Siye and Wei Meng and others over and said: "I just looked at it, the training progress of the military posture and queue is slowing down, and the results are not as good as expected, I think it is better to do this, after dinner, add an hour for military posture and queue training, and the afternoon infantry combat, cavalry combat and cavalry training are as usual, only by completing the military posture and queue training as soon as possible, can we wholeheartedly carry out the training of individual combat effectiveness, tactical formation and tactical coordination!" ”

Li Siye, Wei Meng and the others arched their hands together: "General." I'll get it! ”

"Do you still have any difficulties? Say it, what I can solve for you, solve it immediately, and if it can't be solved now, I will find a way to help you solve it as soon as possible! Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and asked.

Li Siye thought for a while and said: "General, at present, the main reason is that there is a shortage of soldiers, these two thousand recruits were basically ordinary people before, most of them were herdsmen, and they were very skilled in bows and horses, but they had no experience in the army and leading troops. Therefore, my subordinates wondered if they should be transferred from other armies to join in and serve as the leaders of the low-level soldiers, so that the pressure on us generals and colonels would be less, and it would be much easier for us to lead the army."

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is a problem, so let's do it, after I go back, I will ask the army to come and send two hundred soldiers from the six hundred people we brought." As for the positions that have become vacant due to the transfer, they will be promoted and replaced from among the veterans who have performed well! ”

Huo Kan continued: "General, the weapons, armor, clothes, shoes and socks of our two thousand people have not yet been settled, you see that these people are dressed in all kinds of clothes, it is really ugly."

"That's important. As you all know, the Governor's Mansion has just put up the shelves, and a lot of things are in a mess and you don't have a clue, but you're going to get back on track soon. In the past two days, I will talk to Zheng San about this matter, and ask him to solve the matter of weapons, armor, clothes, shoes and socks for you as soon as possible! ”

Zhao Ziliang said this and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Everyone shook their heads after thinking for a while. Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, since you are fine, then I will say one more thing, it can also be said that it is a special emphasis, no matter what the circumstances, the army cannot be chaotic, you must be able to control the army, and you must ensure that anyone in the army can obey the order and listen to the command, if you can't do this, it means that your training is unqualified, and any order issued by the general must be obeyed unconditionally, even if anyone is asked to jump into the river, this person must carry it out without thinking about it, this is the real qualified military training." When the time comes, General Ben will personally inspect it, and whoever can't meet the requirements will be troubled by General Ben! This general will not overstep the command, I just take care of you, you only take care of the captains under you, the captains are in charge of the teams below, the team is in charge of the captains, the captains are in charge of the captains, the captains are in charge of the soldiers, and the soldiers are in charge of the level by level, so that the military orders can be smooth and the command is consistent, do you understand? ”

All the generals and colonels said in unison: "No! ”

Back at the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered someone to find Zheng San and asked, "How are the affairs of the warehouse, Tuntian, Jiazhan, Zhidu, and Yingtian handled?" So many cattle, sheep and horses have been seized and need to be raised, have you found a pasture? ”

Zheng San wiped a handful of sweat and arched his hand: "General······"

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "In the future, if there are no outsiders, I will call Brother Liang."

"No!" Zheng San hurriedly changed his words, "Brother Liang, the pasture has been found, and it is temporarily set on the edge of the broken leaf water, except for the ones given to Gai Dashuai and General Fumeng, we still have more than 16,000 cattle, sheep and horses left, including more than 3,000 cattle, 8,000 sheep, more than 5,000 horses, and about 3,000 horses that can be used as war horses, and we still have more than 3,000 cattle and sheep in the manor over there in Shule Town, do you think we want to rush over together?" As for the warehouse. Tuntian. My logistics department is dealing with the affairs of the first battle, the branch and the camp field every day, but because the stall is too large and the manpower is small, it is not busy for the time being, and it is estimated that it will be several months before it can get on the right track."

After Zhao Ziliang listened, he instructed: "Don't rush over the cattle, sheep and horses over there in Shule Town, sell some old cattle and sheep every year, keep the fur, and find someone to buy horses and go to the mainland, we lack horses in the mainland, especially the price of war horses is high, I see if you are looking for someone to set up a special caravan, we can set up a market here to receive goods, and sell the goods received to the mainland." In addition, the 2,000 recruits, weapons, armor, clothes, shoes and socks have not yet been settled, you should handle this matter immediately, and you can't let the soldiers practice in messy clothes! ”

Zheng San said: "Brother Liang, don't worry, I'll live and do it later, we still have plenty of stocks in weapons, armor, bows and arrows, just say that this capture is more than 2,000 people, and then we build and repair it ourselves, even if there are 10,000 people, we can all equip it."

"Okay, go ahead!"

"No!" (To be continued.) )
