Section 303 Cupping Ge (1)

"We attacked Tibet in two ways, using cavalry against cavalry, destroying their cavalry, and then breaking through their passes with mountain infantry, both of which were indispensable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info," Feng Xiaobao analyzed.

"The point is to dismiss their cavalry!" Liu Renliang deeply agreed.

"Therefore, it is necessary to concentrate the cavalry of the brigade for joint training!" Feng Xiaobao proposed.

"Yes!" Liu Renliang nodded.

Liu Renliang served as the general manager of Taohe Road and was in charge of a military power, and he was recommended by his old friend Li Jinxing to reuse Feng Xiaobao and discuss military affairs with Feng Xiaobao.

Feng Xiaobao's strength was greatly strengthened, and he commanded a standard heavy army group of the Tang army, including 12,500 mountain infantry, 6,000 cavalry (previously 3,600), and 3,000 baggage soldiers (the ordinary key group was 1,000-2,000 baggage troops, and here the imperial court accepted Feng Xiaobao's proposal and strengthened the baggage troops)

Feng Xiaobao's troops were characterized by a large number of mountain infantry and an increase in baggage troops, but Feng Xiaobao was not satisfied, and he asked the imperial court to prepare additional engineering troops, which were not included in the establishment for the time being.

His mountain infantry was good at infantry combat, and both the mountain infantry and the cavalry had established a "teaching regiment" to facilitate the expansion, so the newly arrived mountain infantry could easily get officers from there for mountain training.

Mountain infantry is a new form of troops, and as the forerunner Feng Xiaobao's troops, as long as the officers and soldiers sent to the new mountain infantry division are generally promoted.

Walking on the training camp of the mountain infantry, seeing a hot training scene, Liu Renliang nodded with satisfaction.

He approved the training of new infantry according to Feng Xiaobao's training syllabus, which was physical fitness training at the beginning, and then let go of the belly to eat, practice more and eat more, and soon had confidence, and then began arduous mountain climbing and rock climbing training.

The training was very hard, non-stop running and weight-bearing running and strength training, and then training weapons, very busy.

Liu Renliang once stayed in the soldiers' canteen of the Tonghuang County Training Base, and was very satisfied with the food there, the staple food such as rice noodles, steamed buns, and Hu cakes were enough to eat, and then the amount of meat increased, and the beef and mutton and horse meat were changed to eat every day, and the most praised was the pot of soup, which boiled the soup with skin and bones and medicinal herbs with coal, and came to boil the soup every morning, the whole kitchen was full of fragrance, and it was very appetizing to drink, and it was possible for the soldiers who came down from the training ground to drink a pot of soup in one go.

As for the cheese with a taste, Feng Xiaobao thought it was not popular, but he didn't expect the soldiers to eat as much as they wanted!

They are not stupid, although the taste of cheese can not meet everyone's taste, but nutrition is nutrition, eat more, nutrition is better, the body will be better, and the chance of survival in the future will be greater, why not eat it!

Tonghuang County is very large, all the people are busy, busy with military training, production, there are no beggars in Tonghuang County, all idle people are sent to dig coal, the whole county is a positive and progressive scene.

Liu Renliang visited Tonghuang County and couldn't help but say: "Xiaobao, if I am the county commander, I am afraid that it will only take three to top you one!" ”

"Liu Gong has won the award!"

"Production is for victory, and the mountain infantry is for storming, but without the victory of the cavalry, production cannot be maintained, and the mountain infantry cannot be dispatched!" Feng Xiaobao pointed out.

"Well, find a way to destroy their cavalry!" The two agreed.

They all accurately saw that the victory or defeat of the two sides lay in the cavalry battle, and a cavalry battle was indispensable, so it was imperative for the cavalry to train together.

Training cavalry battles, training in various tactics, charging and retreating, squad battles, brigade battles, and cavalry supplies must all be tempered in joint training to solve problems.

Feng Xiaobao's cavalry has 6,000 people, and when the war starts, he can also gather 6,000 cavalry, those are all shepherds who belong to him, half herding and half soldiers, and their strength is not trivial.

There were 18,000 cavalry under Liu Renliang's command, and they first fought in small teams, then in their own teams, and then in large-scale battles of 24,000 cavalry.

Compared with the history of the Tang Dynasty in the parallel space where Feng Xiaobao did not come, the Tang army now has more cavalry and better quality, the most important thing is that the three major horse-producing areas in the north, Longyou, Hetao and the Northeast are in the hands of the Han people, and the imperial court has spent great strength to increase the number of horses.

The cavalry is full of 10,000 people and can't see the edge, and the fight is really unprecedented!

Everyone rode and shot, rode and fought, chased and counter-chased, surrounded and counter-encircled, and fought happily.

Relying on his parents at home and relying on friends when he goes out, Feng Xiaobao got Li Jinxing's words, and Liu Renliang took care of him, allowing him to participate in the joint training of more than 20,000 cavalry as a deputy, and also taught him how to use soldiers. In this way, he had an experience of fighting in large corps, and this experience was not available to anyone, and many high-ranking generals could not command so many troops until they were forty or fifty years old!

Feng Xiaobao not only commanded 24,000 cavalry, but also mobilized his 6,000 nomadic soldiers to participate in the battle, a total of 30,000 troops.

Feng Xiaobao commanded the troops to attack and defend, and his staff even jumped up and down, desperately recording the large-scale battles of the cavalry, and working hard to accumulate experience.

After practicing a few times, when Feng Xiaobao was addicted to practice, he suddenly shouted to stop!

"Why don't you continue?" Feng Xiaobao asked in surprise.

"We're out of money!" Liu Renliang replied simply.

"Didn't the court say that it would do its best to support us in the war? How can there be no money? ”

"No money is no money!" Liu Renliang smiled bitterly.

The cost of the army is definitely higher than staying in the base, the more you practice, the more money you spend.

So Liu Renliang wrote a memora and asked the court for money.

As a result, it was refuted!

The reply from the imperial court said that it was not that the imperial court did not support you, but that you spent too much money, and now the money spent is close to three times that of other troops of the same number, raising one army of you is equivalent to raising three troops, twice as much, and three times as much as the imperial court cannot support!

Ah, Liu Renliang knew that Feng Xiaobao was in high spirits, and suddenly stopped making him unhappy, so he showed him the court documents.

The court said that there was no money, so it should be no money, but ...... If you don't have training, you can't make good soldiers!

I suddenly thought that the slave society was good!

The Tibetan side also engaged in large-scale joint training of cavalry, first, there was no need for the central government to send military rations (during the war, the Tubo royal court also forced joint ventures everywhere), and second, there was no need to give bonuses to the troops, and the royal court forced each tribe to bring their own rations to participate in the joint training (but they were not as ruthless as Feng Xiaobao).

Seeing Feng Xiaobao's acceptance of the facts, Liu Renliang didn't say anything, just sighed slightly. (To be continued.) )
