In the past, Lin Bin always felt that there seemed to be something missing from this army, and the civil officials in Chang'an took over the logistics and many miscellaneous matters according to Liu Jing's arrangement, and he finally understood that what was missing was a systematic management. www.biquge.info The army is originally composed of many complicated collectives, no matter how big or small the affairs can not be sloppy, in the past, the small number of people may not be obvious, but with the increase in the number of troops, the problem is also prominent.

Chang Diaochong and other civil officials took over the government affairs, and this army finally stepped into the formalization, with the assistance of many civilian officials, the departments of the Taifu, Shaofu, Shipeng and so on showed its due role. For example, under the regulation of the prince's servants, Ma Zheng was improved, and war horses and non-war horses were strictly divided; The establishment of the city also re-announced the announcement of the opening of the market, and sent people out to inform the nearby merchants, the Gongcao Shi named Shang Zao said with confidence that as long as the safety of the city is guaranteed, there will be an endless stream of merchants, and it is not difficult to make this city a border city (border trade city).

Lin Bin's first reaction when he got the news was to slap the table, he didn't want people with snakes and dragons to enter this fortress, the military fortress should have the appearance of a fortress, if there were spies, who could be responsible! He found Shang Zao and went into harsh criticism.

Shang Zao replied: "There are words in front of me today, if you come this time, you must have the opportunity to buy horses and livestock." ”

Lin Bin showed a black line on his face, dare to be the son of today's thoughts, is there really so much? Chang'an is in the midst of a storm of recruitment orders, and there are still reserves of horses and livestock for war!?

"Bazaar? When spring begins, another one will be set up on the edge of the city! No one is allowed to enter or leave the city without my orders! ”

It is still a strong sense of crisis that drives Lin Bin. What he said was categorical, and there was no room for negotiation at all, as for whether Kaichun would really set up a trading point outside the city. What do you want to do so much now?

Shang Zao cried with a sad face, and he didn't know what he was muttering, but he could vaguely hear "A city?" It's easy to talk about it...... "you need to tell and then decide" and so on.

In the end, Lin Bin simply led his soldiers to the office house in a murderous manner, and he didn't speak as soon as he entered the door......

Chang Diaochong laughed in front of him: "Congratulations to the general!" Armor and weapons will arrive at the end of the day! ”

Lin Bin's heart suddenly burst, "I haven't gotten the news yet, how did Chang Diaochong get it?" Isn't the control of the city gates imperfect enough? ”。 His heart was tossing and turning, and his eyes narrowed into thin lines, "All delivered?" ”

Chang Diao Chong said: "It has been more than a month. All deliveries, of course. Is the general so satisfied? ”

Satisfied, of course Lin Bin was very satisfied, but he still said the purpose of coming here.

"We are all lowly people, and we have nothing to do. If the general does not want to. You can find Princess Jing's remarks. If Princess Jing agrees, we will naturally promise. Does the general think it's appropriate? ”

According to the lunar calendar, it will be the beginning of spring in another twenty-three days, which is also the date when Lin Bin was scheduled to start the operation, and he does not have much time to bargain with the civil officials.

"If I lead the army out of the fortress and the enemy intends to attack, and I send someone Qiao to enter the city disguised as a merchant and join the enemy army outside, then how can the safety of this city be guaranteed! Let your Gong Cao Shi have nothing to do and don't mess around with these things. All the people sent out to deliver the proclamation will be recalled immediately! ”

Of course, Chang Diaochong also thought about this problem, "General, you can rest assured." If the general leads the army out, he will have his own northern army to protect the safety of the city. The elite of the Northern Army is good at discernment, and will not let thieves get involved. If the general is still not at ease, there is also a way to secure the general's heart, and he can set up a wooden letter, but all merchants without a wooden letter are not allowed to enter the city......"

Since ancient times, there has been no perfect strategy, and Lin Bin didn't want to say too much, and was about to stop Chang Diaochong from continuing to speak, but he listened to Chang Diaochong's words......

"General Mingjian! If the general does not allow the merchant to enter, the merchant traveler has nowhere to rest, and the general is afraid that the general will offend the people behind the merchant travel. The merchant travel could not be robbed and robbed, and the general's fault fell on this stubble, and the wealthy families of the border counties would definitely hate the general at that time. Whoever belongs to a wealthy family, the DPRK and China will definitely have help, and the DPRK and China will have more cups and cups immediately, and the general is in a dangerous situation! ”

Lin Bin really didn't know that there were so many layers of relationships, "Muhan is an invitation?" ”

Seeing Lin Bin's demeanor, Chang Diaochong knew that Lin Bin had realized the powerful relationship, so he smiled and nodded.

People have shortcomings, and nature also has advantages; Lin Bin's advantage is that he learns quickly, will not die to save face, and will correct his mistakes once he understands them.

"It's me who didn't think it through. However......" Lin Bin muttered, his head thinking quickly, since he couldn't change the fact that the merchants were entering the city, he still had to come up with a way to take precautions as much as possible, "I will set up an isolation point in the west of the city to restrict the scope of activities of merchants entering the city." ”

Chang Diaochong clapped his hands and praised: "This method is very good!" This will save you a lot of trouble. ”

Now that the matter has been resolved, Lin Bin doesn't need to stay here any longer, and says "Farewell!" He turned around and walked out of the office house, but the turmoil in his heart could not be calmed.

Lin Bin judged from all kinds of signs that Liu Jing firmly grasped the command of the Northern Army in his hands, and he should be guarding against something, but he didn't think that the Northern Army, which only had 1,200 people, could play any role. In his observation, the combat method of the knights of the Northern Army is very ancient, and he basically does not know what mobile combat is, and he also found an interesting phenomenon in the sparring, that is, if there is no infantry to fight together, the combat mode of the Northern Army is a little clumsy, and it is very difficult to figure out what this is for.

After two months of brutal training, after the selection of the elimination method, Lin Bin added 3,000 combatable soldiers under his command, and at this time, the army that Lin Bin could mobilize also exceeded 5,000 for the first time. Due to the sufficiency of the productive forces of the Han Kingdom, the convoy arrived at Shiyan at dusk, and the number of armor and vests transported far exceeded Lin Bin's expectations, with more than 5,000 fish scale armors and 3,000 sets of vests, which surprised many people and admired the generosity of the central power of the Han State.

Of course, the Son of Heaven had a generous reason, the central power did not lack economic strength, but a feasible method of warfare against the nomads. The Son of Heaven won his first victory in the political struggle, and obtained a small part of the power belonging to the Son of Heaven from Mrs. Dou. In his spare time, he repeatedly studied the information sent by Liu Jing and Li Xi, saw a glimmer of light in the victory over the nomads, and was eager to learn more. So it's not surprising that there is a lot of support.

In the distant Chang'an, the Son of Heaven held a military newspaper in his hand, the corners of his mouth slowly hooked, and then laughed wildly: "I want to see what else that war general called a tiger can make!" ”

Of course, Lin Bin would never have known that his army had become an experimental armament, and he was overjoyed that all the equipment had arrived. The tense movement of the army began, and the huge war drums were deafeningly beaten after receiving the signal.

As soon as the summoning order is issued, no matter what you are doing. The soldiers had to arrive at the school grounds to assemble before the drums of war had stopped, and in about a quarter of an hour, the school yard was filled with soldiers on standby. The school field is the most exciting, listening to the war drums. Behold the soldier in full arms. A murderous aura can frighten the faint of heart.

Lin Bin had several plans that needed to be executed after the equipment arrived, one of which was to prepare an ironclad cavalry army, which was why he wanted to make vests. In the battle with the nomads, Lin Bin found that the nomads were good at archery, and most of the soldiers under his command were killed and wounded by bows and arrows, and to deal with the nomads who were good at archery, they must need archers with a range farther than the nomads, and a cavalry army wearing armor to charge into battle. The conditions of the Han Kingdom are good, and it is not a problem to manufacture armor. And with the protection of armor to reduce the lethality of arrows, such an army will inevitably have an overwhelming combat advantage in field battles.

Of course. What puzzled Lin Bin was that almost all the knights of the Han army wore armor, so why did the Han army keep losing more and winning less in field battles? He thought, perhaps because of the use of tactics, most of the current Han army is like the Northern Army in combat, and every time it is not looking for fighters to take the initiative to attack, but is accustomed to deploying defenses first to calm the brakes, and looking for the weakness of the attacker in the battle to counterattack.

The most obvious example is the one where Li Xi led the army to fight, Li Xi was the same as other Han generals, first laid out a defensive formation, let the nomads take the lead in attacking, intending to use defensive means to consume the enemy's troops, and then carry out the confrontation of seeing and dismantling, although there is an element of delaying time, but the current Han army generals' combat skills are really rigid, or the tactics of the Central Plains civil war to deal with the nomadic army. The main combat arms of the countries in the Central Plains Civil War are the infantry army, and the main combat arm of the nomadic people is the cavalry army.

Lin Bin's soldiers are few and can't stand the toss, so it is natural that he wants more armor to equip his soldiers. He tried several times and came to the fact that the Han Kingdom was really willing to vigorously support his army, how could he not take the opportunity to ask for more benefits?

According to Lin Bin's vision, if you want to fight against the nomads who are good at shooting, you must not lack an army with strong defensive capabilities, and the existence of the ironclad cavalry can not only deter those small tribes, but also play an important role in charging into battle with the nomadic army.

And what Lin Bin needs now is a cavalry army that can charge, his purpose now is not to run long distances, let alone deep strikes, according to his guesses, after the beginning of spring, due to the change of weather, all that should be carried out should be some breakthrough battles, he must have a strong cavalry army in the grassland and nomads to carry out high-intensity fighting.

As far as many people know now, the current way of cavalry combat is mainly to collide, especially when the nomads fight with the Han army, they like to use savage cavalry to deal with the Han army with the infantry army as the main force, and there is no mobility at all in the current operation, that is to say, the cavalry's ability to charge represents the combat ability of a cavalry army. Lin Bin had never seen any cavalry with more brutal charging power than the ironclad cavalry, so the ironclad tiger cavalry was born.

Lin Bin stood on top of the city tower and looked at the subordinates below to receive the armor, his chest was full of pride and ambition, he had only twenty-three days away from the spring, and in these twenty-three days, he still had enough time to use the actual combat to train his army, and the first thing to train was the tiger horse that had just been reorganized!

The tiger rider is equipped with horse armor, that is, the armor of the horse, simply put, it is the protective clothing of the horse, and in detail, it is composed of two words 'horse and armor', which is mainly forged by rivets, cow tendons, etc.

Lin Bin and the examination of the work order, the craftsman jointly designed the vest only protects the horse's head, neck, front crotch, abdomen, horse buttocks, these places of the vest are forged with armor, and other less important parts are replaced by leather protectors, so the name 'leather vest' weighs no more than sixty pounds, including the knight with fish scale armor and a seven-foot body, the weight of the war horse is not more than two hundred pounds, and the knights can help each other when they get on the horse, so it will not affect the mobility too much.

In the early Song Dynasty, there was such a cavalry army, and even the weight of people with armor was about 200 catties, but later because of the poor breed of horses, coupled with the lack of enough horse breeding bases, the war horses could not be replenished, and they slowly withdrew from the stage of history. The manufacturing process and design scheme of the Song Dynasty are very strong, which is a pity!

Lin Bin is not short of horses now, but only people, so due to the limitations of physical conditions, after strict selection, the whole army of tiger cavalry is only 1,000 people.

Tiger riders will put their legs in leather protectors behind their horses when they climb on their horses, so that they can protect their legs. As we all know, knights are not completely threatened by the upper body, and the legs are actually threatened more than the upper body, because the knight's vision is generally above, and the bottom is basically not noticed, so the thigh is actually the most easily cut off part of the human body in battle. With the waistcoat, not only the thighs are protected, but also the stirrups that are hidden in the waistcoat can be stepped on.

The leopard ride does not have so many strict restrictions, compared to the high requirements of the tiger ride, the composition of the leopard ride is much simpler, the role of the leopard ride is not used to break through head-on, but to pay attention to the ability to strike in a roundabout, so it is mainly light, the number of people is 3,000.

Lin Bin turned his head to look at the officers of the various departments behind him, and it was obvious that he saw the officers of the Northern Army headed by Qing Shui, and they all showed envious expressions.

When Lin Bin saw Liu Jing and Liu Yicui coming together, he asked with a smile: "This style of armor and vest will appear in Chang'an in a month, right?" ”

The two women looked down curiously for a long time, and when they saw the tiger and leopard cavalry neatly lined up for roll call, they seemed to be very surprised, and then exchanged heads, Liu Jing replied as a matter of course: "Exactly!" ”

Lin Bin more or less heard some rumors, and now he has got Liu Jing's answer, how can he not know it? He can be sure that the Han State will inevitably undergo some changes under the leadership of the current son, the Son of Heaven knows the threat of the northern nomads to the Han State, and he attaches great importance to the military, and the first thing is to reform the military, and the chariot, the ancient war equipment of the Chinese nation, was abandoned in the hands of the current son of the day, and turned into a comprehensive development of the cavalry. Now Lin Bin understands one thing, that is, his army is probably used as a test to measure the pros and cons?

Two days later......

Lin Bin learned from Lin Bin that with the efforts of the scouts, he finally found out the traces of several horse thieves, one of which was only sixty miles away from Shiyan. Since the whereabouts of the horse thieves have been detected, Lin Bin also implemented the plan that had been planned, ordering the scouts to strengthen the investigation to divide the composition of the horse thieves, and then the officers analyzed which horse thieves could be appeased and which horse thieves needed to be eliminated.

Now that the goal has been clear, things are much easier, just as Gongsun Hong had predicted before, as soon as the many small horse thieves saw the knights dressed as Han troops, they were almost shouted, "The general has an order: follow the punishment and exterminate the rebels!" ", I didn't see how many Han troops there were, and almost immediately expressed their willingness to accept the appeasement.

There is a good side, and of course there is a bad side......

"So, the horse thieves who don't want to submit are gathered together?"

"Yes, my lord! According to the scout's report, the horse thieves wandering in the direction of Shangjun, Dingnan, Shuofang, and Yunzhong learned of the movement of the West River, and in horror, they had already issued a 'hunting order', and they would gather in a few days! ”

Lin Bin was happy, he was depressed and did not test the enemy of the tiger and leopard cavalry, he didn't expect that the appeasement of the horse thieves would cause panic among the horse thieves everywhere, and there were so many at once!

He wondered, "Hasn't anyone done that before?" ”
