After many recruitments, the Guangling army has 1,000 soldiers and 400 firearms, although the number is large, but the number of generals in command of the army is less.

After Huang Hu was promoted to Guangling Patrol Inspection, he had to stay in Dinghe Fort, and he lacked skills, Ma Wu and others were reluctant to make a general banner, if they were allowed to lead more men and horses, they would only harm others and themselves.

As for Huang Degong, as the commander of the foot soldiers, he was already very busy, and it was naturally difficult to take care of the position of commander of the cavalry.

But who else can use it?

Wang Teng glanced around the hall and suddenly had an idea: "Zhou Yuji, are you willing to lead the cavalry for me?" ”

Zhou Yuji was quite surprised, he had only been in the army for a few days, how could Wang Teng choose him?

"Can you trust me?"

Wang Teng had already remembered Zhou Yuji's name in history, and smiled slightly: "That's natural, if I can't trust you, why should I speak?" ”

Zhou Yuji did not refuse, "Since Mr. Qian looks up to me, Zhou should obey his orders, and ask the adults to give me a month's time, if after a month, the cavalry can't meet his wishes, the adults can choose someone else!" ”

"Okay, as you say!"

Wang Teng was overjoyed, as long as Zhou Yuji promised to come down, this matter would be done.

As for what happened a month later, Wang Teng believed that Zhou Yuji would not let him down.

In later generations, Zhou Yuji was a figure who was an official to the chief military officer of Shanxi, which was the highest position of a martial artist, if even fifty cavalry soldiers were not properly adjusted, wouldn't it become a joke?

In order not to miss a mistake, Wang Teng handed over the power to select the cavalry to Zhou Yuji, no matter who it was, as long as he passed the selection, he would get double money!

When the news came out, the sergeant of the Guangling Army was greatly moved. There is no one who cannot live with money.

Many soldiers with good riding skills began to try their best to show themselves, and the soldiers with average riding skills and a lot of eyes tried to bribe Zhou Yuji......

Zhou Yuji, who was newly in the camp for only a few days, became a popular figure in the army for a while, if it was an ordinary general, he would have been tempted and accepted the benefits, however. To Wang Teng's satisfaction, Zhou Yuji did not lower his principles from beginning to end, and he always adhered to his bottom line.

At the beginning, Huang Degong felt that Wang Teng's decision was a bit too hasty, after all, Zhou Yuji was an outsider, although he had a way to guide him, but who knew what he wanted?

Fifty horsemen. In case of a Tofi, the loss will be great.

Fortunately, Zhou Yuji's performance did not disappoint Huang Degong, for the general, he must be patient, if he can't even endure a small temptation, how can he become a big thing?

Two days later, Zhou Yuji picked up all the people and began to train.

Stop, turn, kick and hide. These most commonly used tricks on the battlefield are constantly being practiced.

The soldiers who can be selected as cavalry soldiers have some riding skills, but. Their archery skills are not flattering.

Standing on the flat ground and bending the bow and arrows in all directions, this requires excellent physical coordination, and if you want to keep the bow and arrow accurate on the galloping horse, the requirements for the cavalry are even greater.

If there is enough time, Zhou Yuji is sure to improve the cavalry's cavalry and archery skills, however. He only needed a month of his own.

In a month, even if Sun Wu was alive, it was impossible to greatly improve the archery skills of the cavalry.

What to do?

Zhou Yuji really couldn't think of a way, so he could only ask Wang Teng for advice, "My lord, the cavalry is not good at archery. In vain! ”

Wang Teng smiled: "Don't worry, I already have a way."

Zhou Yuji was surprised, "What way?" ”

"The horsemen are not good at archery, but it shouldn't be a problem for them to throw short spears."

"Throwing a spear?"

Zhou Yuji naturally didn't know that there was a Numidian cavalry in the Mediterranean, and it was by throwing spears that the Romans had defeated many times.

Wang Teng didn't explain too much, he took Zhou Yuji to the outside of the camp, "The war horse and short spear have been prepared, you can get on the horse and try it."

Zhou Yuji was a little confused, he had never thrown a short spear on a horse.

Wang Teng had to explain, "The Jurchen cavalry mostly uses iron bones and flying axes against the enemy, we can follow their example and use short spears as weapons!" ”

Zhou Yuji came to his senses at this time, it turned out that the short spear could still be used like this.

Needless to say, after getting on the horse and throwing, Zhou Yuji was overjoyed, "My lord, this short spear is easier than riding a bow, with it in hand, it will not be disgraced in a month!" ”

Wang Teng smiled: "Don't worry, I still have a plan to improve the sergeant's riding skills."

Zhou Yuji no longer dared to underestimate Wang Teng, "Please give me advice!" ”

Wang Teng remembered that there was some dribbling around the pole in the basketball and physical education exams in the world, and if this item could be added to the training of the cavalry, it would definitely improve the riding skills of the soldiers.

"Would it be more effective to train if you added obstacles to the front line of the cavalry and erected stakes?"

Zhou Yuji's eyes lit up, the biggest advantage of light cavalry is that it is flexible and mobile, like the low-level equestrian skills of running straight to the horse, which is useless on the battlefield at all.

At the moment, what Wang Teng said was tantamount to Daigo empowerment, and Zhou Yuji was overjoyed: "My lord is really a god and a man, but I am afraid that the cavalry will cost a lot of money."

Wang Teng didn't care, "It's okay, as long as you train elite soldiers, I am willing to give you more silver."

Zhou Yuji turned over and dismounted, "My lord treats me so kindly, I, Zhou Yuji, will serve my life!" ”

Wang Teng knew that Zhou Yuji was a talent, and he didn't shy away from it at the moment, "I'm asking people to prepare firearms, and each rider will have one shot in the future."

Cavalry?

This is fresh, Zhou Yuji has seen the power of the firecracker, if the cavalry can really master the technique of opening the gun immediately, even if it meets Jiannu, it will have the strength to fight!

"The adults are far-sighted, and the villains admire!"

Wang Teng smiled: "After a month, I am going to let your cavalry compete with the foot soldiers, what do you think?" ”

Zhou Yuji was eager to try it and said, "That's naturally excellent, but if there is a mistake, what should it be?" ”

"If even this level of fighting can be accidentally injured, how can I use it when I see Jiannu in the future?"

Zhou Yuji sighed deeply and said, "What the adults said is right, if they don't practice carefully, no one knows if they can go into battle to kill the enemy."

Wang Teng was noncommittal, and next, Zhou Yuji proposed to equip his soldiers with some light cotton armor, to which Wang Teng agreed.

If the light cavalry wants to maintain mobility, it must try to limit the weight of the load on the horse's back, so that the iron armor is definitely not able to get on the horse, and the weight of a pair of iron armor is more than a hundred catties, which is a heavy burden for the horse.

Horses are flesh and blood, and if they are worn out, the light cavalry without mounts will not be able to match even the footmen.

Guangling is not outside the plug, every war horse is a treasure, and one is less than one.

Even if Wang Teng had silver, he didn't dare to buy war horses on a large scale, otherwise, most of them would attract the attention of the Jin family.
