The downpour lasted all day, and Xiao Yi also got a rare leisure time, at this time, Xiao Yi was hugging Huang E, sitting under the eaves, breathing in the fresh air, not knowing what he was thinking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as he was thinking, a person wearing heavy armor rushed in from outside the gate in the rain, and when he saw Xiao Yi without saying a word, 'poof' suddenly knelt in the water.

Xiao Yi suddenly got up, looked at Zhou Baotai in the rain, and frowned: "Mr. Zhou Qian, what are you doing?" ”

Although Zhou Baotai was soaked, there was still a spirit of not admitting defeat, and his expression was a little moved when he looked at Xiao Yi.

I only heard Zhou Baotai shouting: "As a cavalry battalion officer, I violated military discipline and killed war horses without permission. ”

Although Huang E thought about it, she knew that as a woman, she should not ask and say much about Xiao Yi's military affairs, so she just let go of Xiao Yi's hand and quietly retreated to the lobby to watch all this.

"Killing war horses?"

Xiao Yi muttered, still a little incredulous in his expression, Zhou Baotai, who has always regarded horses as brothers, would actually kill horses?

Zhou Baotai actually came this time with the intention of quitting the Yong'an Army, although he was very reluctant to these old brothers who practiced and fought together, but since the establishment of the Yong'an Army, Xiao Yi has always been guilty and punished, and never forgives anyone.

Seeing the hesitation between Xiao Yi's expressions, Zhou Baotai was surprised, Xiao Yi, who has always been decisive in killing, would hesitate because of a person?

Zhou Baotai was extremely moved, and there was a hint of crying in his voice, but he couldn't hear it clearly in the rain, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears flowing on his face.

"General! Since following the general, I have only known the true meaning of being a sergeant, guarding the peace of the people, dying on the battlefield, and beating the thieves, and there is no regret! ”

Xiao Yi was about to say something, when suddenly there was a sound of wading through a puddle from outside the mansion, it turned out that Lai Damao and Wei Zhongwu led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to arrive.

They were still wearing two layers of heavy armor, and the mansion, which was still a little empty just now, was suddenly overcrowded.

As soon as they entered the mansion, they knelt in the water without hesitation, looking at Xiao Yi with a sincere expression, and Xiao Yi only now understood what was going on.

Lai Damao kowtowed, and shouted loudly in the rainy night: "General, it was me Lai Damao who provoked first, and I should be punished!" ”

Xiao Yi then remembered that this Lai Damao had rescued Tao Qingfeng, the eldest lady of the Tao family, last year, and obtained key information.

Wei Zhongwu shouted: "No, punish me!" I didn't stop Mr. Lai, I'll be punished! Before he could finish speaking, the rest of the soldiers shouted that they would be punished together.

Zhou Baotai looked at Wei Zhongwu, Lai Damao and the cavalry battalion soldiers behind them, and opened his mouth and shouted: "What are you doing, what are you doing?" Didn't I tell you not to come with me! ”

Lai Damao did not flinch, stepped forward and said: "This matter is caused by me, I only hope that the general can forgive the brothers of the cavalry battalion, and only punish me Lai Damao alone!" ”

Suddenly, Xiao Yi shouted, "Enough! ”

Just two words were spoken, everyone no longer dared to speak, Xiao Yi rarely got angry, they only felt a shock in their hearts, and they all looked at Xiao Yi.

Turning around, Lai Damao and the others kneeling in the water pool could only see Xiao Yi's back and his sonorous voice.

"Zhou Baotai supervised the training of the cavalry battalion, although he was ordered by the general, he could not kill the war horses in vain." Hearing Xiao Yi say this, Zhou Baotai raised his head to look at Xiao Yi violently, suddenly remembered something, and looked at Lai Damao again.

"Lai Damao, if you don't obey the order of the official, you should have been punished with a reduction in your status, but I would have thought that you had a meritorious role in killing thieves, and there was no major fault, so let you stay in the army for the time being, and make meritorious contributions to the crime, as well as Zhou Baotai and the cavalry battalion people."

As soon as Xiao Yi's voice fell, Lai Damao raised his head in surprise, and all the soldiers of the cavalry battalion looked at each other with an unbelievable look, and the whole battalion was guilty of meritorious service!

I couldn't say a word except for the ticking of the rain.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a burst of cheers.

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!!"

Zhou Baotai, Lai Damao, Wei Zhongwu and others clenched their fists and cried silently.

Xiao Yi waved his hand lightly and said softly: "The rainy night is deep, everyone is tired for a day, go back and rest." Speaking of this, Xiao Yi changed his words, "Remember not to do it again, otherwise you will not be spared!" ”

"Thank you, General!"

"I will train hard day and night, and make great contributions to repay the general's kindness!"

……

On the second day, Xiao Yi found Zhou Baotai and asked him how he was going to train cavalry.

Shen said: "General, humble duty is to fight against cavalry, should be led by courage, equestrian second, two fronts rush each other, one by formation, the other by profit. ”

Xiao Yi nodded and asked, "Do you know why Ben will each issue a three-eyed gun?" ”

Zhou Baotai did not hesitate and said: "Humble and foolish, does the general want to attack from afar first, and then fight closely?" After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi nodded slightly: "You are half right, if you fight with thieves in the field, the heavy cavalry should be the main force on the battlefield, but the rest of the military formations, firearms, baggage, etc. are also indispensable." ”

Zhou Baotai listened carefully and kept nodding.

Xiao Yidao: "The number of cavalry is not as good as that of the eastern captives, so we can't be hard with it, we should cooperate with firearms, military formations, and roundabout battles to win." ”

Xiao Yi got up, pointed to the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "In wartime, first shoot with a three-eyed gun to frustrate its front, and then rush to its sharpness, remember not to fall in love with the war, quickly get out of the whole army to find an opportunity to fight again, the rear artillery salvo, the army formation to catch up, the cavalry in the side row after the gun, and then rush to win, this is the method of field warfare, you can practice according to this." ”

Zhou Baotai suddenly realized and bowed: "The general has a high view, and he has an epiphany. ”

Xiao Yi raised his head and sighed: "I don't think there is much time left, let's go and practice." ”

Zhou Baotai's heart tightened, and he walked out of the lobby with his fists in his arms.

It was also from this day that Zhou Baotai began to supervise the training of the cavalry battalion, and Lai Damao, Wei Zhongwu and other soldiers worked together, trained hard, and made meritorious contributions to the battle.

According to the method mentioned by Xiao Yi, coupled with his own equestrian skills, etc., the intense training did not stop for a day.

One day in July of the fourth year of Chongzhen, in the school yard twenty miles south of Ulzhou, the loud shouts were endless, and from time to time there was a roar of firearms, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves did not stop for a moment.

Around the huge school field, there were straw men standing for a week, and the straw men were wearing a pair of leather armor, while Wei Zhongwu and Lai Damao were respectively carrying two general cavalry.

They kept running from both sides, and Lai Damao stood on the stage to see what the shortcomings were.

"Huha~"

"Driving~"

First of all, Wei Zhongwu took the lead, leading more than 100 cavalry people, all of whom held the three-eyed guns made by Ulzhou craftsmen, and more than 400 strong horses stepped on the ground, rumbling.

Rushing to the southernmost side of the school field, a row of straw men, wide enough to accommodate thousands of people for training, can fully provide more than 200 cavalry with sufficient buffer zone.

After rushing for more than a dozen steps, Wei Zhongwu looked at Zhou Baotai on the stage, saw Zhou Baotai nodding, and shouted: "Release!" ”

"Bang... Bang, bang! ”

In an instant, the short-held three-eyed guns in the hands of the cavalry fired a volley, this kind of three-eyed guns were very easy to master on horses, and after more than a month of training, these veterans could already master them proficiently.

After the white smoke passed, the leather armor worn by the straw man on the opposite side was suddenly pierced, and small holes emitting black smoke appeared.

Immediately afterwards, the cavalry rushed to the front with the three-eyed gun, and with a loud shout, the three-eyed gun's melee ability was like a hammer, even if it was slapped on the heavily armored knight, it had great lethality.

The blow on the straw man made a thumping sound, all of which made the grass and trees fly.

Wei Zhongwu led the cavalry to shout over, and then another row of guns attacked, it was Lai Damao and others who had just charged, and several black holes appeared on the straw man.

Lai Damao and the others finished releasing the gun, and Lai Damao shouted: "Take the knife!" ”

When everyone was impacted, they hung the three-eyed gun behind them, pulled out their side and picked up the knife, hung it above their heads, and kept turning in circles, rushing away.

If someone is on the other side, they will find that the knife in the hands of Lai Damao and others is shiny and dazzling, and it is easy for people to lose their judgment.

Then the shouting of killing suddenly started, Lai Damao took the lead, and led more than 100 cavalry to rumble into the straw man pile, and there was a burst of broken wood.

Seeing this, Zhou Baotai nodded with satisfaction.
