In Xiongzhou, on the school ground, a martial arts exercise is underway.

Wu Ji, Wang Shao, Zhou Wei, and Lin Hong are all here. Wang Shao and Wu Ji were sitting in the stands, and Zhou Wei was directing.

A group of Xiongzhou troops lined up in a neat formation, majestic and majestic, and the prestige was extraordinary.

The Mo knife hand is in the front, and the Mo knife in his hand is on the ground, shining in the light, which is very terrifying. Although it has not been used yet, this power alone is enough to make people chill.

Behind the Mo knife hand is a crossbowman, each with a broken crossbow bow, concentrating on the enemy. The swordsman stands in the gap, and if an enemy rushes in, he will clean them up.

The last column is the knife hand, which is used to guard the back, which is a must.

On both wings are cavalry, all riding tall horses, people like dragons, horses like tigers, and the momentum is amazing.

"Huh!" Zhou Wei let out a burst of laughter, very happy: "I never dreamed that I could hold so many war horses and have so many cavalry!" That's thousands of cavalry! ”

Cavalry is the shortcoming of the Song Dynasty, it is a rare thing, if you can have thousands of cavalry, it is a great thing. In the past, Zhou Wei had looked forward to countless times, and he could have a large number of cavalry, but he had not been able to do so, but now, his wish has come true, looking at the trained cavalry, he will not be happy.

"Look at your little bit of talent, it's only three thousand cavalry." Wang Shao's eyes couldn't help squinting, he enjoyed this feeling very much, but he came to hit Zhou Wei: "As long as you fight a good battle, you will have as many cavalry as you want." There are not many other Liao dogs, but there are many war horses! How bold you are, you have as many war horses! ”

"Wang Shumi, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Zhou Weile hehe, and counterattacked Wang Shao: "Think back then, when the troops were sent to Xihe, who was there to count the cavalry with his fingers?" Some people say, more cavalry, more cavalry. At that time, some people were wrenching their fingers even when they were eating and walking for the sake of cavalry. Hum! ”

"Who? Then it's useless! Tell him to come out and let me see! Wang Shao was serious, his eyes widened, and the boss's voice roared out.

"Porphyry!" Wu Ji couldn't hold back any longer, looked at Wang Shao, and laughed.

Don't look at Wang Shaoping's serious appearance, he is not a good bird, when he is Laipi, he looks like this. It's clearly talking about him, and he still puts on a look that has nothing to do with him.

"Brother Wu, what are you laughing at?" Wang Shao still looks like he has nothing to do with him.

"Convinced! If you have a thick skin, you are invincible! Wu Ji gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Wu, what do you look at? Are you doubting me? Is being a brother the kind of person who has no interest? Otherwise, how could I fight the Battle of Xihe? Wang Shao was wiped out.

"Brother Wu, let's play martial arts!" Zhou Wei rolled his eyes, very helpless. He has followed Wang Shao for many years, knows Wang Shao's temper, and when he cheats, no one can rely on him, this is a living example.

"Martial arts! Martial arts! Wu Ji nodded violently: "What's the point of looking at the bitter gourd face, let's watch the martial arts." ”

"Brother Wu, which one are you talking about?" Wang Shao is still a hob meat.

Wu Ji simply ignored him and looked at the school field. Zhou Wei gave an order, and the Xiongzhou army began to move.

"Bow breaking, shoot!"

The Broken Bow took turns firing, and the arrows rained down without stopping. The arrows are dense, and even flies don't want to live.

"Brother Wu, your method of shooting in turns is really good." Wang Shao's hob was gone, and he patted Wu Ji on the shoulder, and said: "In the past, although the Great Song Dynasty had a good bow, it was impossible to use it, and it was only three or four rounds before the enemy rushed to the front of the battle. Nowadays, the arrows and stones are constantly coming, and every time the enemy takes a step forward, he has to pay a big price! ”

The Song Dynasty had sophisticated equipment, but it was not used well, and Wu Ji's small improvement could not be talked about innovation at all, because, during the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, the use of long-range weapons was to shoot in turns, and there would be no intermission.

Although it is not an innovation, it can only be regarded as a small improvement, but it has greatly increased the combat power of the Song army. In the past, after only three or four rounds of fire at the enemy, the enemy rushed to the front, and it was impossible to effectively kill the enemy. Now, the enemy is in a rain of arrows all the time on the road of the charge, and this casualty is not enough.

"It's over." Wu Ji said humbly: "The Great Song Dynasty has excellent equipment, but it is not used well. If it is used well, the combat power of the army of the Great Song Dynasty is very strong. ”

"Huh!" Wang Shao couldn't help nodding and said, "I think so too, but I don't dig as deep and as much as you." ”

"Thunderball, throw!"

One after another loud noises came, one after another fires flashed, the sand flew away, and one after another bomb craters appeared, which was terrifying and terrifying. If there were enemies, they would have been scattered with corpses and bones, and they would have suffered heavy casualties.

"Brother Wu, this is the greatest reliance of the Great Song Army. Not to mention anything else, with this thunderbolt, the combat power of the Great Song Army will increase a lot. Wang Shao looked at the smoke-filled place, became excited, stood up, and almost sang: "If it was the Battle of Xihe back then, I had a thunderbolt, and I would have destroyed the Western Xia." ”

"Mo Dao, split!"

The Mo knife was raised high and slashed down, the sound was terrifying and annoying. Feeling the power coming to his face, Wu Ji couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Cavalry, sortie!"

Three thousand cavalry galloped suddenly, splashing large clouds of smoke and dust, like an angry dragon. The thunderous sound of hooves shook the earth.

"Oh my God, the cavalry!" Zhou Wei was singing: "I finally saw the cavalry galloping!" What if we gathered all 30,000 cavalry and galloped across the battlefield? ”

Galloping with 30,000 cavalry, which has not yet appeared in the history of the Song Dynasty, is very worthy of imagination.

"The Great Song Dynasty has not used it, but it can be speculated from history." Wang Shao looked at the galloping cavalry, and he was also happy, and his eyes were full of light: "Wei Qing rushed to the land of the Hetao, that is, tens of thousands of elite horsemen, starting from thousands of miles away, directly taking the Hetao, and caught the Huns off guard. Huo Qubing attacked the Hexi Corridor, the first time he led 10,000 fine cavalry, the second time he led 20,000 fine cavalry, the total strength was only 30,000, but the 240,000 Hun army on the Hexi Corridor was defeated, and the Jin people who sacrificed to the sky were captured by Huo Quai. If the Great Song Dynasty had more than 100,000 or 200,000 elite cavalry, it would not be a problem to cross the desert. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Wu Ji and said, "Brother Wu, after a long conversation with you at the conversion price, I think more and more that your opinion is right. The Great Song Dynasty must build elite cavalry, without elite cavalry, it is impossible to cross the land of Yanyun, it is impossible to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and it is impossible to crisscross the desert! ”

Cavalry is the ace of the cold weapon era, the reason why the Han and Tang dynasties were able to crisscross the desert and sweep all countries is because the Han and Tang dynasties had a large number of elite cavalry.

"Our cavalry is ready to come out!" Wu Ji is very satisfied with the changes in front of him.

It is very difficult to get the Song Dynasty to change the national policy of riding by foot, and it is impossible to do it all at once. First through this training, it will be easier to show the important surnames of the cavalry, and it will be easier to achieve the purpose of changing the national policy.

If it weren't for the robbery of the Liao State this time, the border generals would not have supported Wu Ji's proposal so unanimously. It is conceivable that if this victory is a big victory, the future reform will be much easier.

As soon as the martial arts performance in Xiongzhou was over, Wang Shao and Wu Ji rushed to other places for inspection. They went to one place after another, and they were very happy with the results of this training.

I have to say that the efforts of the Conversion Army in the past few months have achieved the expected results, and compared with the previous 80,000 elites, one in the sky and the other in the ground, there is no comparison at all, the gap is really too big.

It can be said that today's 80,000 elites have undergone a qualitative transformation, and their combat power is much stronger than before.

As for the equipment, not to mention, the equipment jointly manufactured by the Wu military industry and the Song Dynasty military weapons supervisor is very sophisticated, which makes their combat power even better.

Everyone has a horse to ride, this mobile surname has been greatly improved, coming and going like the wind, fast and abnormal, it is no longer a dream, but a fact.

As soon as the inspection was completed, the returned army withdrew the return letter. As soon as Wang Shao gave the order, the generals from all over the country gathered in Xiongzhou to discuss and deal with the last issue.

In Wang Shao's marshal mansion, all the generals were present, Wang Shao couldn't stop walking around, and commented: "After a few months of training, our 80,000 army has improved a lot, they have excellent equipment, war horses, and they are stronger and more tenacious than before, and I am still satisfied with the training." ”

"Huh!" There was a burst of laughter, and everyone in the generals had a smile on their faces.

"I used to hear that the converts had succeeded, but I didn't think about it. Now we really know why the Converts are so powerful. ”

"We have an elite team in our hands, too."

And the generals rejoiced and began to discuss.

"Shut up!" Wang Shao's face sank, and he shouted, and the joy of the generals was gone, and they all looked at Wang Shao for unknown reasons.

"I tell you, no matter how well trained an army is on the school field, it is not an elite! Only the army that dominates on the battlefield is the real elite! Wang Shao coldly glanced at the generals and poured cold water on them: "Judging from the school field, you have an elite division in your hands." But that's not enough! I've decided, let you lead your army deep into the Liao Realm and plunder! ”

"Good! Wang Shumi, hurry up and give the order! Brother, I'm looking forward to it! "A group of generals have asked for battle.

"This time, you will lead the army alone, and whether you fight well or not, it is your own business. If you play well, you will be promoted and rewarded! If you don't fight well, you will be punished! Wang Shao's face became even colder, and his tone became colder: "I think, among you, there must be someone who is not suitable for this style of play, and will lose the battle, and the Great Song Dynasty will pay the price." This price is necessary. If you fail, bring yourself up and see you! ”

An army that does not experience the baptism of blood and fire cannot be called elite. This time, the Song army entered the Liao border and plundered, and the Song army would definitely suffer defeat. An excellent army does not mean that it is elite with excellent equipment and good training, but it must also have advanced tactics.

These generals may not be able to do this. Some of them are rigid in their thinking and are still thinking in the same way as before, and it is very difficult for them to master the new tactics in a short period of time. Although Wang Shao gathered them together, Wu Ji had taught them some experience.

If these people are not eliminated, it is extremely harmful. So, these costs must be paid.
