Chapter 124: The Eve, Two Places (1)
"Lao Guo, in your opinion, the cavalry may go into battle?" In the signing room of the Huanggang Prefecture Ya, Wang Shen took the tea bowl that Guo Ya respectfully handed over, took a sip, and asked gently. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lao Guo later asked for the divine arm bow for the White Army today.
Stepping on the white army was Wang Shen's heart, but the army had a need, and there was nothing to refuse, so he immediately asked someone to allocate a hundred crossbows and three thousand arrows to make up for the loss of the cavalry during training some time ago.
Lao Guo smiled honestly: "Master, you can go into battle at any time." If the sons and daughters are used to charge the battle, it may not be enough, after all, they are all new soldiers. You can use a crossbow to disrupt the enemy's formation, and it is still possible to pursue the router. ”
The reason why it is necessary to equip the cavalry with the Divine Arm Bow is very simple, that is, to use mounted archery tactics.
The Tabai Army is a pure light cavalry, and its main use in wartime is to reconnoiter and patrol for a while, to disrupt the enemy's position, and to pursue and kill the enemy, so that the enemy cannot restore order in a short time.
The tactics of the cavalry of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty are very simple, that is, to attack the light cavalry of the Shengjie Army first, so that the enemy falls into confusion, and then quickly leave the battlefield. Let Bai Gong reload the wall and advance, completely crushing the enemy's formation.
Wait until the enemy completely collapses, and then the Shengjie army begins the pursuit.
If the White Horse Army is unable to completely defeat the enemy, the Heavy Cavalry Group will withdraw, and the Victory Victory Army will pounce again.
In this way, the light and heavy cavalry groups attacked in turn, until the enemy was completely unable to withstand it.
Lao Guo is an old cavalryman of the Western Army, and most of them are from the same background, so it is natural that this tactic has been used for more than a hundred years. However, there is a problem with this. When he was in the Western Army, whether it was Bai Ji or Shengjie, the cavalry had a long and powerful horse lance in their hands.
With the current family background of the Sizhou army, it is naturally impossible to equip such a ridiculously expensive weapon as a horse lance. But if you change to a spear, trouble will come again.
Spears have no flexibility, and when a spear stabs an enemy, the cavalryman's wrist is shattered by a huge reaction force. There is no way, you can only equip a saber, and the current tabai is just a saber cavalry. How could the severed hand knife beat the spears of the enemy's infantry that rose like a forest? Rushing straight up is undoubtedly sending him to death.
Kong Yanzhou's men and horses have been trained by Zong Ze, and they are from the same family as the old men in the Sizhou army, so they are naturally familiar with the tactics of the Song army to break the cavalry with foot, and Wang Shen does not want to let the white lose on the battlefield.
In fact, it is also simple to deal with the infantry formation, that is, the cavalry archery that the Mongols tried and tested repeatedly during their westward expeditions.
However, more problems arose, the Sizhou army did not have archers.
After thinking about it, Wang Shen simply equipped the cavalry with a divine arm bow. Ballista cavalry is a historical term, and the Qin army during the Warring States period were all crossbow riders. Relying on the strong crossbows in their hands, they not only wiped out the six countries and mixed up with Kyushu, but also beat the Huns so that they did not dare to take a step beyond Yinshan.
The Divine Arm Bow has a long range, great power, and is simple to use, and in less than two days, the cavalry will be proficient, and now it is only necessary to go to the battlefield to see how the actual effect is.
Wang Shen: "How's the morale?" ”
Guo Ya: "If you go back to the master, morale is like a rainbow." Since the soldiers knew the master's order to grant the land with military merits, they all geared up to earn a family business for themselves and their descendants, and they only wanted to go to the battlefield one day earlier to cut off the heads of the thieves and ask the master for a reward. ”
Since ancient times, the Chinese have had a strong land plot, and since Wang Shen came to Huangzhou, he also knew that nationalism, patriotism, and righteousness alone could not arouse the fighting will of soldiers and officials. Nationalism and statism, which were the product of the unitary nation-state of World War I, were not appropriate for this era.
The people of Qi and Huang fled in large numbers, leaving behind a lot of wasteland and a lot of official land, and as soon as Wang Shen arrived, he honestly and unceremoniously took it to himself and used it to reward the soldiers. And let Lu Can set a strict standard for rewarding merit, and there must be a certain rule for how much land can be rewarded for beheading several levels on the battlefield.
As for the system and decrees of the imperial court, this place is high and the emperor is far away, who cares?
Wang Shen nodded: "Very good, you go down and tell the soldiers, just fight bravely to kill the enemy, and they will be rewarded with a certain point." The insufficient part is picked up in other places. ”
Guo Ya smiled bitterly: "Master, this is about to be a war, I'd better go back to you and serve the marquis." You better find someone else to bring this cavalry. As he spoke, he shook his right arm: "I can't use this arm at all, how can I rush to kill?" ”
"Gu Lie has always coveted my cavalry, and he has said a few times that he wants to lead the cavalry, but the infantry can't leave him." Wang Shen sighed and said, "In the end, I still lack talents at hand, Lao Guo, you should take this soldier first." ”
"But...... However, if you can't take the lead as a general, how can you be willing to obey you? The villain still felt at ease that the waiter was by his master's side. ”
Lao Guo has said this many times before, anyway, in a word, I don't want to be this officer.
"Okay, we'll talk about that later, so be it!" Wang Shen shook his head: "Don't think too much about it now, tomorrow is the time for a decisive battle, go back to the camp first to stabilize the morale of the army." ”
"Yes, master."
At this time, suddenly, someone slammed the door open.
A tall, burly figure rushed in, and the floor rumbled with heavy footsteps, and the whole house seemed to collapse as if it were about to collapse with him. A guard ran in, grabbed the man's hand and kept shouting: "General Yue, you can't go in, you can't go in!" ”
"Get out of here!" That's right, it was Yue Yun who came. I saw that he was draped all over his body, and a handful of iron bones hung from his waist. As soon as their arms flicked, the two guards screamed and fell out of the door.
Seeing him menacing, Guo Ya was shocked and shouted: "Yue Yun, you came with a weapon, do you want to rebel?" ”
"Master, me, me, me!" Yue Yun jerked out the bones and raised them above his head.
Wang Shen's expression did not move: "Ying Xiang, you are here." I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've grown taller and stronger. Tomorrow is the decisive battle, you don't reorganize the troops and horses in the camp, what are you doing here? ”
"I'm me, I'm going to rebel against me? I am not convinced, I came to you for a theory, Wang Daosi, you have to give me an explanation today. Yue Yun screamed angrily, and with a wave of his hand, the bones flew out of the room. It smashed right on a stone jar in the courtyard outside the gate to prevent water from running. His strength was so great that the stone jar suddenly broke, and green water flowed out.
This movement was so great that the officials and scribes of the houses came running and looked at it with their necks straight.
"Theory, theory, what do you want me to give you?" Wang Shen asked lightly.
"What's wrong with my sister, you have been hired by three media and six people, but now you want to repent of marrying and marrying again?"
"Repent of marriage and marry another, who said that?" Wang Shen was surprised in his heart and couldn't help asking.
"Pretend, are you still pretending?" Yue Yun clenched his fist the size of the casserole and shouted loudly: "What you said when you went to Qichun the day before yesterday, more than 20 brothers who stepped on the white, and thousands of thieves are all innocent. Now, the whole Qi and Huang are rumoring that you want to marry Kong Yanzhou's daughter, and you still want to deny it? ”
Wang Shen nodded: "Did you say this?" ”
"You, so good, finally admit it." Yue Yun was so angry that his eyes were full of anger: "What else do you have to say now?" ”
Wang Shen: "An Niang and I have shared hardships, and Wang Shen has never forgotten her deep affection and righteousness. However, now that the situation of Qi and Huang is critical, there are other plans to marry Kong Yanzhou's daughter. ”
"What's the matter, are you still afraid of that Kong Yanzhou?" Yue Yun was so angry that he shouted: "Why, I'm afraid that I won't be able to defeat the hole thief, and I want to let the enemy raise your noble hand and let you go through marriage, which is deeply disdainful." You are afraid of Kong Yanzhou, but I and my brothers are not afraid. ”
Wang Shen suddenly burst out laughing.
Yue Yun: "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh at you for running over and making trouble without knowing anything, you can hear the wind is the wind, see the rain is the rain, if something happens, you have to be responsible. Kong Yanzhou and I have to fight for the land of these two states, if there is no Qi and Huang, how can we raise soldiers. Interests are at the forefront, who cares if you are your father-in-law Taishan or the son-in-law of Dongbed, you have to fight. Everyone, you kill me, I kill you, no one is welcome. Even if I want to marry Miss Kong Er, is Kong Yanzhou willing to agree, and is he willing to lead the army? ”
"The soldier is treacherous, I also let out a word, after letting the sergeant of the Confucian Thief Army go to the battlefield, it is not good to use all my strength."
He looked at Yue Yun reproachfully, and softened his voice: "Ying Xiang, no one knows the relationship between me and An Niang now, and she will not marry her." Isn't it because you want to cause misunderstanding when you make such a fuss? In front of everyone here, I, Wang Shen, dare to swear to the heavens that if there is a place to be sorry for An Niang in this life, I will be pierced by ten thousand arrows and die without a place to be buried. ”
Hearing this, Yue Yun became happy, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Military envoy, I'm relieved if you say that." It was my fault just now, and I asked the general to punish him. ”
"The punishment will definitely punish you. That's fine, I'll punish you to go to see your sister right away, so that you can be appeased. She also knows about this, maybe what will become of sadness, if there is a good one, Lao Tzu will cut you. ”
"Ah, sister, yes, I have to persuade her to tell her what you just said." Thinking of his sister, Yue Yun's face changed greatly, he jumped up and rushed towards the back garden.
Lao Guo shook his head: "This little uncle Yue, really, really, too recklessly." ”
Everyone outside laughed in a low voice, and said in their hearts: Wang Jun's envoy has such a wife and brother, and he is the first brave general in the army, he will have a headache in the future.
At this time, Lu Can walked in and saw so many people gathered outside, and shouted with a cold face: "What are you doing standing outside here, are you idle?" ”
Although Lu Can is a military officer, he is a marquis in the army, and he is also the commander of the front army. But after all, he was born as a literati, and he also asked about local government affairs on weekdays. Even if there was already a suspicion of overstepping his authority, Wang Shen felt that it was still necessary for civil and military officials to restrain each other from several major systems, so he acquiesced. He didn't want to keep the money bag and the logistics of the army in the hands of the civilian officials, no matter how gentle Du Shu's personality was.
The necessary system should still be put in place.
Therefore, the civilian officials of the Sizhou Army were very afraid of Lu Can. When they saw him coming, they all said that they dispersed and went back to do things.
