Chapter 119: Izumo Cavalry

The 3,000-foot cavalry turned the entire cottage like an iron pass, and with an order, countless rockets were shot into the cottage by the archers like burning locusts

Because it is autumn, the weather is dry and dry, the fire spreads very quickly, like no money, it keeps burning, in the blink of an eye, the entire cottage is almost completely covered by the fire, but fortunately, Yan Shun and others in order to better observe the situation outside the cottage, all the trees outside the village close to a mile have been cut down, which also makes me able to attack with fire with confidence, otherwise I really have to be like Qin Ming, I have to send troops to attack the cottage

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a soldier shouting, "Stop them, don't let them run!" ”

I turned my head to see that four fast horses rushed out of the small gate next to me, and those soldiers who were defending the mountain formation were caught off guard by the sudden situation, and could only watch as the four fast horses rushed out with the knights on their backs, forcibly breaking through the defense of the mountain formation

I frowned for a week, I suddenly heard a neighing sound of war horses around me, I turned my head to look, only to see Hua Rong a bag of war horses standing up, turn around on the spot, the horse's forefoot fell to the ground, then four hooves like the wind, rushed to the four thieves who fled, not very far, Hua Rong a bow and four arrows, the string sounded, the bow was retracted, the horse was stopped, and the four escaped thieves fell to the ground

Looking at Hua Rong again, riding the mount under his crotch, he walked slowly to the side of the four people in a light and chic manner, and one of them made another knife in the neck, withdrew the tooth arrows on their bodies, and rode back lightly on the horse

Can I burst into a foul mouth, say a word of, this Hua Rong is too TMD chic this time, plus this guy is handsome and seems to be hanging, which makes people jealous. However, his archery skills are really unparalleled in the world, so I suddenly had the idea of letting Hua Rong form a light cavalry archer

The Great Song Dynasty had archers, but they were heavily armed archers, this kind of cavalry, the lethality was very large, but there were two fatal flaws, that is, the speed was relatively slow and the number of personnel was small, and the strength of the heavy archers was that they were numerous, and the heavy arrows fired were because of their overwhelming momentum and huge long-range suppressive power

I remember that in the history books of later generations, there was a kind of Mongol use of light archers, called "Mongolian Archery Method", which fired arrows in constant movement, and even shot arrows backwards during escape, often a small number of soldiers, which could determine the outcome of a battle

Looking at Hua Rong, who is as light as the wind and chic as a cloud, and looking at his calm demeanor when he bends his bow and arrows, as if he is as natural as reaching out to the clouds, just like the feeling of stepping on the clouds when my Yun'er performs light skills, then I think the name of this unit is called "Izumo Cavalry Shooting".

The fire burned for a whole day, and when it was evening, the fire was gradually extinguished, and I ordered the soldiers to stay there for the night, and the next morning the whole army was allowed to search the village

As the fire spreads, most of the belongings have been reduced to ashes, but there are always lucky soldiers who find some surprise in the burning ruins, and I, for example, told Hua Rong what I thought the day before. Naturally, Hua Rong happily agreed to my suggestion

Learn the art of literature and martial arts, sell to the emperor's family, this sentence is not a simple empty word, people in ancient times read and practiced martial arts, not hoping that one day they can be named on the gold list, and their fame is in their bodies

"Huaqing's family, in the north of the Liao country, more distant places, there is a people, they are called Mongolians, they are born on horseback, riding and archery, brave and brave, they have a light riding and archery method, called Mongolian archery, they can accurately shoot the arrows in their hands on the back of a constantly moving horse, but yesterday, I saw that Huaqing's archery skills are excellent, and the level is by no means below those Mongolians."

"Hua Rong thanks Your Majesty for appreciation, as long as Your Majesty can afford Hua Rong, Hua Rong was originally for His Majesty to break the solid stone, cross the deep water, on the day of the war, regardless of the sword mountain and sea of fire ahead, Hua Rong is willing to die for His Majesty's precursor." Hua Rong listened to my words, his face was flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly hugged me with both fists to show his loyalty

"Hahaha...... Okay, Hua Aiqing's words are really Top Gun, arrogant, I thought about it yesterday, among all the cavalry of my Great Song Dynasty, there is still a lack of a pure light archer cavalry, I think this matter will be taken care of by Hua Qing's family. I looked at Hua Rong and said to him

"But please ask Your Majesty to command."

"This light cavalry, I named it Izumo Cavalry, together with the name of today's Concubine Chu Yun, at the beginning of its formation, I gave you a military quota of 20,000 people, and the equipment of this army was first set as two carved bows, a saber, a short knife, a dagger, twenty wolf teeth and heavy arrows, which were used for short-range shooting, one hundred small chisel head wooden feather arrows, used for long-range armor-piercing killing, twenty flying arrows, five fork arrows, and ten arrows for centurions and above. The officers and men of the whole army only wore a collar of leather armor and a leather helmet. Hua Rong, you remember, this light cavalry bow force, I don't need them to charge for me in close combat, they only need to keep firing arrows on the periphery, and constantly shoot at the enemy at a long distance, but I I, no matter what, you have to train each of them to be a sharpshooter with a hundred shots, can you do it! ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, even if the ministers are smeared with liver and brains, they will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust." Hua Rong's eyes were full of determined flames, and he bowed to me and said

"At that time, you will return to Beijing with me, and when the military department sends you an official letter, you will go directly to Hetao South Road and report to General Hu Yanzhuo, and he will arrange everything for you."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last will obey."

The camera turns to the burned ruins, all the burning ruins, no one alive, except for the occasional gadgets picked up by the soldiers, I am afraid that only the ruins in front of me can prove that this cottage once existed

After cleaning up the battlefield, I followed Qin Ming and led the army to Qingzhou City, where there was still a Murong Yanda waiting for me to deal with. As for Hua Rong, I asked him to go back to Qingfeng Village first, and after everything was arranged, he brought his family to Qingzhou City to find me
