Li Yanqing pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to give up the heavy cavalry and change it to light cavalry, and change the auxiliaries to crossbowmen and spearmen. ”

"This ..... Will the seed marshal agree? ”

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Since the commander gave me the power to dispose of the Xuanwu Battalion, then he shouldn't interfere with me." ”

Wang Gui and Niu Gao stood up, Wang Gui hugged his fists and said: "You are the main general, we will listen to your arrangement!" ”

"I don't have an opinion either!"

Li Yanqing nodded, "I appoint the two of you as the cavalry leaders of the first and second battalions, and the cavalry will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you will be responsible for receiving them." ”

Wang Gui has already commanded an intelligence battalion of hundreds of people, he has rich experience, Li Yanqing led him with troops, he has long taken it for granted, but Niu Gao was very nervous, and said in a low voice for a while: "Let me be Agui's deputy!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Commanding five hundred and commanding ten people is actually the same thing, as long as you manage the ten team leaders, they will take care of the soldiers for you." ”

Of course, Niu Gao knew that Li Yanqing was comforting himself, managing five hundred people and managing ten people were not the same thing at all, he still had no bottom in his heart, and his legs trembled with nervousness.

Li Yanqing smiled again: "I have never had the experience of managing soldiers at the beginning, the commander threw it to five hundred intelligence battalion soldiers at once, and then asked me to command ten thousand people to ambush the Western Xia army, everyone will face the difficulty of the first step, as long as the first step is taken, you will walk smoothly behind, not to mention that you have also led dozens of soldiers in Shenquan Village, you should have experience." ”

Wang Gui said with a smile on the side: "Lao Niu, I will teach you a method, it is Lao Li's method at the beginning, you hold a martial arts competition, whoever can defeat you under your subordinates, you will give him the top position, I think no one can beat you with your double skills, so that your prestige will come out." ”

"That's a good idea, you can give it a try!" Li Yanqing smiled happily.

Niu Gao's heart was crossed, nodded and said, "Okay!" I'm out of the way. ”

.........

Although Li Yanqing knew that he could handle all kinds of military arrangements in the Xuanwu Battalion, after all, the Seed Master Dao was his direct boss, and he would change the heavy cavalry to light cavalry, and of course he also needed to report to the Seed Master Dao.

After listening to Li Yanqing's report, he did not immediately object, but asked calmly: "Why did you change the heavy armored cavalry to light cavalry?" ”

"Marshal Qiqi, if we can defeat the Liangshan Army in one battle, of course it is the best choice to use heavy cavalry, but looking at the first four battles, I found that the Liangshan Army's operations are very flexible, they are good at breaking the whole into pieces, attacking everywhere, so that the officers and soldiers are unable to guard against it, in this case, the heavy cavalry is useless, on the contrary, we use light cavalry, using the speed and flexibility of the cavalry, but can inflict heavy damage on the Liangshan Army, and the light cavalry is suitable for long-distance attacks, cutting off the enemy's retreat or raiding the enemy, so I hope that the Xuanwu Army will be changed to light cavalry."

"Isn't that the auxiliaries useless?"

"Auxiliaries can be trained as infantry, if they encounter a large force of enemy troops, cavalry alone is not enough, infantry is also required to resist with bows and crossbows, and then cavalry interspersed with attacks, so as to ensure that the army can play its maximum combat power."

He did not immediately draw conclusions about Li Yanqing's light cavalry plan, he knew that no matter how fanciful Li Yanqing was, it was just talk on paper, and whether it worked or not depended on the actual combat results.

However, since he decided to devote all his efforts to cultivating young talents such as Li Yanqing, Liu Jian, Wang Gui, and Yang Zaixing, he will give them the opportunity to maximize their abilities and talents.

Seed Master Dao pondered for a moment and then said, "I don't know if your plan is right or wrong, but since I have allowed Xuanwu and Suzaku to form an independent army, how to distribute the troops is your internal matter. ”

"Xie Dashuai supports!"

Seed Master Dao shook his head, "I didn't support you, I just didn't interfere with you, I just look at the results, that's all, go ahead!" ”

．．．．．．．．

In the evening of the next day, the 3,000 cavalry who had arrived from Chenzhou arrived at the barracks, to be precise, they were all infantry who had undergone a one-year 'cavalry training', not cavalry in the real sense, they did not have their own war horses, and they did not have much combat experience, the average age was only 20 years old, and many soldiers had never experienced the test of war.

These soldiers were mainly from Hebei and Northwest, and they were young and strong people who were selected from the armies of various states to join the forbidden army.

This is not a high profoundness means that it is difficult to plant the master's way, the 10,000 heavy cavalry in the forbidden army is very well treated, and the children of the general poor family have no chance to join the cavalry, most of these cavalry are the children of the eunuchs and the powerful, arrogant and arrogant disobey the general's orders, and they have not been trained for a long time, and the combat effectiveness is very low.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to hand over these 3,000 young soldiers who had undergone a year of cavalry training to the Planter Dao.

On the square in front of the banner of the Xuanwu camp, 2,300 soldiers were lined up, and Li Yanqing stood on the high platform, behind him were the five newly appointed heads and staff member Mo Jun, as well as two young clerks.

"All the soldiers listen, from now on, you have officially become a member of the Xuanwu Cavalry Battalion, I don't care what happened in the past, what will happen in the future, I don't know, I just care about the present, as long as you are a member of the Xuanwu Cavalry Battalion, then you have to follow my rules!"

Li Yanqing's serious gaze swept over everyone one by one, and said slowly: "At the beginning on the battlefield of Western Xia, some people said that I, Li Yanqing, was a civilian official and was not suitable for commanding troops, so I said that we competed in martial arts, and your martial arts can surpass me, and I will give you the seat."

It's the same today, if you don't want to listen to my rules, then say it as soon as possible, I'll give you a chance, if martial arts can surpass me, I am willing to give up the position of commander, the ugly words are said here, if you don't want to compete in martial arts and don't listen to the command, then don't blame me Li Yanqing for being ruthless! ”

Li Yanqing's speech was not fast, although it was not harsh, but there was an irresistible toughness in his tone, and the soldiers below were silent, silently listening to every word of the main general.

"Although the imperial court has equipped us and the war horses with heavy armor, I want to tell you that I have asked the commander that the Xuanwu cavalry battalion is no longer heavy cavalry, but light cavalry, so the auxiliaries do not exist, and the auxiliaries will be changed to infantry, organized into five hundred pikemen and five hundred crossbowmen, from today we will train hard for a month, and then go to the battlefield!"

..........

Before dawn the next day, the drums of the big camp rumbled, and the soldiers did not even have time to wash, so they rushed out of the various tents.

The speed of assembly is extremely important for the army, in the event of a sneak attack, ambush, the soldiers need to quickly assemble, the fastest speed to form combat effectiveness, and this rapid response ability can not be done in a day or two, must be strictly implemented into daily life, and gradually develop a habit, an elite army is so bit by bit rapid out.

Li Yanqing stood under the banner and watched the assembly of soldiers, but in his mind he was thinking about his own concept of governing the army.

He had to formulate a kind of hierarchical rule in the Xuanwu camp, so that when assembling, the soldiers did not necessarily have to run in front of their commanders, and in front of any general, the soldiers had to obey the command, although it was a little miscellaneous, but it was not chaotic.

In this way, not only is the speed of assembly faster, but even if it is disrupted on the battlefield, it can quickly form a new team and form a new combat effectiveness.

He knew very well that when the Song army in history faced the impact of the Jurchen cavalry, it was easy to fall into a state of chaos, and the generals could not find soldiers, and the soldiers could not find generals, and they could not form a second counterattack ability in the chaos, and soon collapsed, forming a unilateral slaughter of the Jurchen cavalry.

In order to reverse this passivity, it is necessary to train an all-round combat mode, which is based on the team, and in actual combat training, soldiers are constantly exchanged and mixed with each other, and new combat effectiveness is rapidly formed.

The key to this model is the head of the team, the head of the team can not be limited to a certain person, but should be a special symbol, Li Yanqing thought of the red helmet, the head of the team died on the battlefield, and the other person continued to wear the red helmet, and he was the new team leader, so that the red helmet could be like a magnet, firmly attracting the soldiers to his side, so as to keep the formation unchaotic.

The head of the capital wears a white helmet, and his white helmet can bring more teams together to form a more powerful spear formation, which is an effective tactic for infantry to deal with cavalry, and defeat the cavalry onslaught with collective strength.

When Li Yanqing was thinking, the drumming disappeared and the soldiers were assembled, but there were still more than a dozen soldiers rushing towards this side while hurriedly arranging their armor.

"Where's the military judge?" Li Yanqing shouted.

A sturdy team leader walked out quickly, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "The last general!" ”

Li Yanqing pointed to more than a dozen soldiers who were late, "Take it down for me, thirty canes per person!" ”

As soon as the leader of the team waved his hand, dozens of law enforcement soldiers rushed forward, knocked down more than a dozen soldiers, and beat them with their sticks, and immediately cried and shouted.

"Tomorrow there will be latecomers, fifty rods!" Li Yanqing said coldly to the soldiers of the whole army.
