In October 390 AD, on the Juyanze prairie, a grand military exercise was slowly kicking off.

The purpose of this military exercise was to test the power of the vehicle soldiers, including the baggage soldiers, and a total of 30,000 soldiers from the military and government participated in the exercise.

In order to prevent information from leaking, during the military exercise, no one will be allowed to enter or leave within a radius of hundreds of miles around Juyanze.

Du Jin, Wang Zhenwei, Kang Long, Xu Zhao, Li Wei, Duan Ye, Wang Zhongde, Fuqu Nancheng, Jiang Fei and others will not pull one of them, and all of them will gather in the school field.

Before the military exercise, accompanied by the generals, Wei Shuo first reviewed the participating soldiers.

In order to do a good job in this military exercise, the Hexi army can be said to have racked their brains and exhausted all methods.

First, wooden weapons were used to replace standard equipment, and then the military exercises did not emphasize confrontation and focused on various strategies and tactics.

At the beginning of the military exercise, Wei Shuo and others first watched the cavalry perform archery.

On the shore of Juyanze, there is an open field, which is just used as a performance venue.

On one side of the field, there are a large number of humanoid targets, and the riders work in teams, with twenty men from each side participating, each shooting ten arrows.

First shoot five arrows at a standstill, and then shoot five arrows at a gallop, and the one with the most targets wins.

In order to compete for the championship, each compartment has sent the sharpshooters and outstanding horsemen in the team to participate.

Frustrated Nancheng was specially selected from the army, and nineteen archers formed a team with him.

These nineteen people are all former Lu Shuihu or Xianbei captives, and each of them has the ability to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps.

Moreover, everyone has been in battle for a long time, and their psychological quality is excellent.

At present, there are many Hu people serving in the Hexi Army, and there are also people with strong archery skills, and it is not difficult for Fuqu Nancheng to pick out a dozen people from them.

Sure enough, from the very beginning, the carriages represented by Fuqu Nancheng were far ahead, except for Wang Zhongde's department who was in hot pursuit, the rest of the generals had already been left far behind.

Although the military sport of archery is not as exciting as the battle battle, it is also wonderful and addictive.

Wei Shuo saw that the archery competition had a good impact, and turned his head to praise Du Jin, Wang Zhenwei and other people from the general's mansion.

It was decided to extend the fight until mid-March.

"Teacher, suppress evil, Shuo sees that this archery competition is good, not only can raise the prestige of our army, but also improve the level of soldiers. It was thought that after the exercise, this activity could be continued to form the tradition of the Hexi Army. ”

"The lord is wise." When the generals heard this, they responded.

After the archery competition was over, it was finally the turn of the main part of the military exercise - the chariot soldiers against the cavalry.

One hundred and ten vans were interlocking in formation, and the foot soldiers unloaded their crossbows from the vans and assembled in formation behind the formation.

At the same time, in order to protect the flanks and flanks of the chariot formation, a small number of cavalry were arranged on the left and right sides.

The attacking side, on the other hand, was dominated by thousands of cavalry, responsible for the frontal assault.

As soon as the war drums sounded, the cavalry suddenly started and rushed forward like a hurricane.......

The momentum of the thousands of cavalry charging was amazing, and even with the support of the van, the newcomers still couldn't help but tremble.

Only those veterans who have experienced the test of blood and fire will look at the newcomer indifferently, and the corners of their mouths show a trace of disdain.

At this time, the prison guards at all levels played a decisive role, constantly reassuring and encouraging the emotionally excited newcomers.

The boom got closer and closer, and the earth began to tremble.

Suddenly, the sky was dark, and the newcomers didn't know why, only the veterans' expressions changed, and they hurriedly raised the round shield in their hands and curled up their bodies in a ball.

"Raise your shield, defend!"

Only hearing the roar of the generals, the newcomer hurriedly raised the round shield in his hand, and some people were nervous, and they actually raised the horizontal knife as a round shield.

Fortunately, it's just a military exercise, otherwise it's too embarrassing to die in this way.

In an instant, the feathered arrows that went to the arrows rained down on the foot soldiers.

At the same time, the screams of the foot soldiers in the phalanx continued to sound,

Even if the arrows were removed and wrapped in cotton cloth, these special arrows still caused slight damage to the foot soldiers by relying on acceleration.

Fortunately, it was just for the newcomers to feel the atmosphere of the battlefield, so the arrow rain only lasted for a while, and then took the initiative to stop.

At this moment, the cavalry had charged to a distance of less than fifty paces from the chariots, and of course the knights would not really collide with them.

They made a turn in front of the formation, and swept straight past like a gust of wind.

At this point, the cavalry show is almost over, and it is the turn of the foot soldiers to show their skills.

Soon, the bed crossbows and longbowmen in the infantry formation were in full swing, and the spearmen were distributed in the gap between the wagons and the wagons, constantly killing and wounding the enemy with their spears.

When the crossbowmen, longbowmen, and spearmen performances ended one after another, it was finally the turn of the military exercise.

I saw hundreds of old war horses appear in the field, which were originally to be retired and leased to the people by the government to make ploughing horses.

Now it has to act as the main force of the military exercise, using flesh and blood to attack the dense vehicle formation to test the defense capability of the vehicle soldiers.

Hundreds of war horses galloped across the vast grassland, gathering together unstoppably like the tide of the sea, roaring and galloping.

In order to prevent the horses from stopping halfway, they were all fed medicine beforehand.

So much so that the horses had red eyes, and they crashed straight into the van phalanx like martyrs.

There was a loud bang, and the van that was fixed on the ground shook violently, and if it weren't for the hundred and ten vans interlocking, I am afraid that it would have been knocked out by the galloping war horse.

Sigh law ~ In an instant, there was a neighing sound of war horses on the battlefield, and countless war horses were pierced by the iron tip in front of the van and fell to death.

After a stick of incense, when the war horse completely stopped charging, Wei Shuo personally led people forward to test the effect.

At this time, the scene was in a mess, flesh and blood were flying, and the war horses that had not yet breathed were still wailing.

Seeing this scene, many people were infected by the tragic scene in front of them and couldn't bear to look at it directly.

"Lord, the effect is not bad!" Zuo Sima Wang Zhen excitedly reported to Wei Shuo the results of the military exercise.

"Oh? Is it? Let's talk about it in detail. ”

"It has been observed that except for a small number of vans that were damaged, most of the rest blocked the impact of the horses."

"It can be seen from this that the strategy of using chariots and infantry to resist the onslaught of cavalry is indeed feasible."

"Well, that's finally worth our effort." Hearing this, Wei Shuo let out a long sigh of relief and relieved himself.

Then he reminded: "However, even so, you can't be careless, after all, it's just a military exercise in front of you, and the key depends on the performance on the battlefield in the future." ”

"My subordinates understand."

Next, the military exercise continued, first the Modao team practiced battlefield assault. Unfortunately, as the most elite branch of the Hexi Army, the Modao team has no chance to perform except for the small test of the border conflict with Yueban.

But Wei Shuo has always regarded Modao as one of the hole cards in his hand, and as the enemy becomes stronger and stronger, Modao will have more and more opportunities to perform.

If you want to say that the most shocking person in the military exercise, it is none other than the heavy cavalry.

Five hundred heavily armed steel heavy cavalry, like steel fortresses, people can't help but feel awe.

"My lord, the heavy cavalry can be used to break the formation, but because of its slow movement, it is difficult to catch up with the light cavalry that is agile and fast."

"That's natural, each class has its own strengths and weaknesses, and what we need to do is to give full play to their strengths and think about avoiding their weaknesses."

"As the saying goes, only by promoting strengths and avoiding weaknesses can we be invincible."

Next, tens of thousands of elites of the Hexi Army were carefully selected, and they successively performed cavalry outflanking, infantry assault, infantry and cavalry combined attacks, and spearmen and crossbowmen transferred from all over the country practiced military subjects such as infantry crossbow salvo fire and spear infantry assassination training.

The accompanying clerks and military officers who were responsible for recording the details of the exercise wrote down slightly exaggerated words in the military registers, such as "the army looks neat," "the pace is the same," "the armor is bright," and "the training is well-trained."

This eye-opening and large-scale military exercise lasted for more than half a month.

Subsequently, Wei Shuo and the generals of the General's Mansion held several summary meetings in a row before all military affairs were handled.

When he returned to Guzang, the situation in Shuofang finally developed as expected.
