Chapter 169: Cavalry Tactics
"Want me to join you?"
Tian Yu's mustache curled up, and he looked at Yuan Xi with a slightly playful gaze.
Zhao Yun was tightly guarding Yuan Xi's left and right, he knew that Tian Yu's arrow was accurate, and such a distance could break out and hurt people at any time. On the other side, Lou Jingshu didn't know much about Tian Yu, just watching.
Yuan Xi said loudly: "Brother Guorang, now that Gongsun Zhan is gone, do you still want to be my enemy?" Before, when you came to deliver the war letter at Jieqiao, I said that if you want to switch to the Ming Lord, you might as well consider me. ”
Tian Yu looked at him and said, "Yuan Jizhou is probably not the master. ”
Yuan Xi sighed in his heart, and thought: "My old son Yuan Shao's reputation is really stinky, and everyone here thinks that he can't do anything." ”
In fact, Yuan Shao included the north of the Yellow River at this time, and he could be regarded as the most powerful prince in the whole world. But when the strength is strong, the attitude towards talents is different. First, the talent ladder of the pyramid has been formed, the old people have occupied the position, and the space for the newcomers to come and display is limited. Second, Yuan Shao did not trust some newly defected generals. caused the talents who defected to Yuan Shao to leave one after another, and by the way, it was rumored that Yuan Shao's reputation for being contemptuous of scholars and being stubborn for his own use was actually wronged by Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao, a person who treats his subordinates, listens to them with an open mind, and listens to opinions extensively, asks A's opinion, and then asks B's opinion, everyone's opinion must be asked again, and then compare and corroborate each other to get their own opinions. Although this makes the decision-making seem comprehensive, sometimes a lot of voices can also cause distractions. That's an afterword.
Yuan Xi said to Tian Yu: "It's not for my father, but for me." ”
Tian Yu sneered: "Playing for you? The second son means, do you want to use me to protect the territory and the people of Youzhou? ”
Now Yuan Xi only has such a piece of land as Youzhou in his hands, and he is not a candidate for Yuan Shao's heir, the biggest possibility is the lord of a state, and the development space is extremely limited. Yes, Tian Yu ridiculed him in this regard, and Yuan Xi had nothing to say.
"Although it is so......" Yuan Xi said: "But no one can predict what happens in the world." I just want to tell you that Youzhou is the place to be. ”
Tian Yu said: "Oh, then I wish the second son Wuyun prosperity." ”
Then he turned and departed.
Yuan Xi couldn't help but use his brain, I'm not afraid that you are greedy, I'm afraid that you don't have something that interests you, people like Zhao Yun have things that they like, why don't Tian Yu have them. Does he like beauty or gold? Just finding an entry point can make him change his mind. Such a good marksman, he has to keep it.
It's just that the more than 20 white-horse cavalry in front of him are probably the elite of Gongsun Zhan, and his own people are more than capable of resisting, but they are powerless to leave them. How do you get them to stay?
While thinking about it, he saw an exclamation mark appear next to Tian Yu's favorability. Strange to say, there is no intersection between him and Tian Yu, and he was once an enemy on the battlefield, but Tian Yu's favorability is as much as 65, so Yuan Xi has always been hostile to Tian Yu.
The exclamation mark reads the word "cavalry".
Yuan Xi was surprised and delighted. Happily, there is a way to crack it. The flies don't stare at the seamless egg, and Tian Yu's egg finally has a gap. Surprisingly, what do these two words mean? Do you want to use him as a cavalry captain, or do you want to use cavalry to defeat him?
Zhao Yun on the side asked, "They are leaving, do you want to pursue?" ”
Yuan Xi said: "If there is a horse, it must be pursued." But unfortunately there were not enough horses, so they recklessly went up and suddenly increased the casualties......"
"Uh......" he suddenly said loudly: "Zilong, how did you do with the matter I told you last time?" ”
Zhao Yun was speechless for a while and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Yuan Xi gave him a look and said, "The matter of forming a cavalry." If we want to go south to chase the Central Plains, we must have an elite cavalry like Baima Yicong. I heard that the horses are ready. ”
Zhao Yun said: "It's really ......"
Yuan Xi said: "That's good, it's a pity that there is a lack of a cavalry captain." This Tian Guorang, I originally wanted to use him as a cavalry vanguard general, who knew that he wouldn't do it...... Then there is no way, it will be difficult to reproduce the grand scene of the white horse cavalry of the Gongsun clan......"
Tian Yu heard his words, his hand stiffened, and the mount stopped again.
Yuan Xi said: "But you Zhao Zilong can also be regarded as a fierce general, and there are several cavalry backgrounds in our army." In fact, this white horse is nothing more than that, I believe that we can train it if we go back and study it carefully. Cavalry, as long as they can charge back and forth, as long as they are fast, they can exert their power, these things are also commonplace, and if you change someone to do it, in fact, it is the same. ”
Tian Yu faced him sideways, and he could clearly see that his Adam's apple trembled and swallowed saliva.
Yuan Xi said: "I'm right, General Tian Yu?" ”
Tian Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Ridiculous! The method of training cavalry is far greater than that of infantry. One is a horse, and the other is a horse. The cavalry is primarily about taming horses, but all war horses must communicate with the knight's heart, and they usually need to communicate with each other. These commands must be consistent, such as the direction of traction of the reins, to the left, to the right. This way, even if there is a different rider, the horse will be able to handle it correctly. Once the men and horses are aligned, the formation needs to be trained. The method of formation lies in giving full play to the advantages of horse warfare on different terrains. Cavalry battles, heavy mobility, light attack. Knights are precious, and if they can fight in close combat, they will not fight in close combat, and it is best to focus on mounted archery. The second prince vainly talked about the cavalry, but in fact he did not catch the essentials of the cavalry. The gains and losses of a battle cannot be used to make a conclusion for the white horse. ”
"Oh...... Wonderful, wonderful......" Yuan Xi applauded, but no one around him clapped, so the applause seemed a little lonely.
He said: "General Tian Yu is worthy of being a cavalry master, admire and admire. Zilong, it seems that in terms of training cavalry, you still have to learn more from the country. I intend to issue a proclamation that allows everyone to bring horses to the army, and if someone sacrifices a horse, the rank of the enlisted soldier will be automatically increased by one rank, and the horse will also be transferred to him. Zilong, what do you think? ”
Zhao Yun also knew at this time that this was the second prince persuading Tian Yu, so he said: "The subordinates are stupid, but General Tian Yu has exactly more than 20 horses in front of him, if they come with mounts to join the army, wouldn't everyone be able to be promoted?" ”
Yuan Xi slapped his thigh and said, "Haha, you're right, as long as you bring more than one horse to join the army, one more horse will be promoted to the first rank, how many will be promoted." If you bring 500 horses, you will automatically become the boss of this cavalry team. Brother Guorang, if you don't go to the battlefield, you will be wasted. Why not consider my conditions? In the future, if you lead a cavalry south, you will lead it, and you will always pass on the essence of General White Horse. ”
Gongsun Chan has already died in Yijing, and there is one less master of using horses in the world. Youzhou is a place where horses are produced, and the argument of forming a cavalry is reasonable. If there is a lack of a good horseman, then the cavalry is not of much value, and in the end it is just sent to death.
Tian Yu suddenly hesitated. Yuan Xi was overjoyed: "This time I took the bait." He continued: "Brother Guorang, give these horses a chance to continue galloping on the field." ”
