With the selection of the cavalry in the capital, it ended without the slightest hesitation under the execution of the thousand cavalry generals of the wind cavalry battalion. In the end, less than 100 new cavalrymen with excellent riding skills and martial arts were selected from only the children of the officials in Beijing.

They were selected to serve as cavalrymen in the cavalry, and their special origins also determined that they could keep up with the training and expansion of the cavalry. In the future, they will also have a faster chance of being promoted to officers than soldiers in other cavalry armies.

These noble-born martial arts children also got them the opportunity to be superior. In addition, at the end of the selection, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Xu also awarded these official positions to the children of the preparatory martial arts to demonstrate the emperor's grace without discrimination.

Of course, this is not a real job authorization, specifically in the cavalry, what positions they can hold depends on their level. Compared with Emperor Zhao Xu, he is a good person, so Zhao Xiaoxi plays the role of that villain.

The cavalry of the Beijing Forbidden Army, who served as the spectator of the two selection competitions, will also enter the assessment this time. It's just that compared to the assessment of Wuxun's children, Wang Zishu honestly doesn't look down on these cavalry. These cavalrymen seem to be superb horsemen, but they are all showy.

deliberately increased the difficulty of the assessment a little, so that these forbidden troops who stay in the imperial city every day. also understood what the Fanbang cavalry on the border looked like in the end, and specially proposed to Zhao Xu for actual combat selection.

This time, many officials in the DPRK and China, especially these cavalry of the forbidden army, who were above the top, felt that the cavalry's exploits were too exaggerated. Even the Iron Harrier of Western Xia can kill most of them, which is simply unlikely.

In addition, this cavalry selection, even the cavalry of the forbidden army must be screened, which makes the commanders of the forbidden army who are usually high above. As for Wang Zishu, a young guerrilla general, he thinks that he has reached this position by relying on connections.

Wang Zishu, who was not accustomed to arguing with others about these issues, soon proposed a way to screen cavalry in actual combat. The group and individual battles were used to formally compete with the cavalry escorting the urn back to Beijing.

In the face of this screening. Zhao Xu said with a little worry: "Zishu, wouldn't it be too dangerous to carry out such a real confrontation?" ”

Wang Zishu quickly said respectfully: "Back to the saint, during the assessment, the bows and arrows used by the cavalry. They are all unloading arrows, wrapped in a white ash wrapped iron arrow. Although it hurts a little to ejaculate on the body. but it will not harm anyone's life.

As for team battles, more cavalry is assessed in the ability to respond to emergencies in engagements. The last general felt that such a screening would make it easier to select elite soldiers and good generals, so that the Holy Cavalry would always maintain the highest combat effectiveness. ”

Seeing Wang Zishu say this, the cavalry commander of the forbidden army quickly said: "Holy Lord, since General Wang wants to assess the combat effectiveness of our forbidden army's cavalry, the last general also feels that this method is the most suitable for the assessment of our soldiers. Please also ask for the grace of God. ”

Knowing that these forbidden troops are not very convinced, although Zhao Xu has never led troops, he also knows the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Quickly pretended to be silent for a moment and said: "Since Commander Xu also agrees, then I will approve it, and everything will be implemented according to General Wang's opinion." ”

'Obey! ’

The two generals who were ordered, one young and one middle-aged, can be said to be competing with each other. Knowing that Wang Zishu proposed such a confrontation, the cavalry of the sons and daughters of the official who returned with him. Naturally, I also want to teach these forbidden troops a good lesson.

In recent years, the cavalry of the forbidden army, in addition to nesting in the imperial city for so-called drills. They are rarely used. In addition to the annual riding show held in the palace, those riding performances are good, and they are not useful at all when they go to the battlefield.

Soon the cavalry officers and men were ready to go, although there were only three hundred-man teams, and they had to deal with a thousand-man squad of the forbidden army. These thousand cavalry can also be regarded as the elite division of the forbidden army.

Came to the large playground for cavalry drills. Zhao Xu nodded, and the chief eunuch beside him quickly waved a small flag. It was signaled that a group battle could begin and the cavalry of the two armies could be tested.

The commander of the forbidden army, who was holding back his strength, quickly picked up the wooden weapon in his hand and shouted forward: "Kill!" ”

Compared to the Thousand Cavalry of the Forbidden Army. Pull out the formation and rush forward. Wang Zishu waved his left and right hands at the same time, except for the Chinese army hundred-man team where he was not moving, the other two hundred-man teams quickly rushed to both sides of the forbidden army.

Seeing that at this time, the cavalry with only three hundred cavalry dared to divide the troops, and the commander of the forbidden army laughed at it. Order your cavalry to encircle them in the battlefield and prevent them from running out of the army.

As an elder in the army, the commander of the forbidden army wants to teach these young cavalrymen what is called the elite of the Great Song Dynasty. His actions, how can the prince not be ridiculed?

Facing the cavalry of the forbidden army, which began to slowly deform as they ran, Wang Zishu used a stick wrapped in lime in his hand.

He roared ruthlessly: "The cavalry is out to fight, and I am invincible!" Brothers, kill! ”

Even though there were only a hundred people, the killing sound it shouted still shocked the monarchs and ministers who were watching. When the horses of the two armies began to approach, the cavalry, which had been rushing straight away, suddenly turned sideways and launched a guerrilla shot.

This is beyond the range of archery attacks that the forbidden cavalry can achieve, so that the forbidden cavalry began to be hit by arrows continuously. According to the previous regulations, if you hit the gray bag on your body, you must withdraw from the cavalry confrontation.

The other two hundred-man teams that had wandered to the flanks on both sides to attack were not afraid of the challenge, and rushed straight towards the attacking Forbidden cavalry. Both the accuracy of archery and the way it dodged arrows on their horses were much higher than those of the Forbidden Army.

Seeing that the cavalry of the forbidden army were shot out of white spots one by one, they had to withdraw from the battle. The hundred-man team commanded by Wang Zishu began to choose to flee and retreat when faced with the encirclement of a large force of cavalry under the command of the forbidden army.

Can't beat it and want to run?

As soon as this idea arose in the mind of the commander of the forbidden army, he immediately commanded the cavalry to rush out. But when the pursuing forbidden cavalry saw these fleeing cavalry, almost everyone would return the horse and arrow with one move, and they could only continue to reduce their numbers in the pursuit.

Looking at Wang Zishu's cavalry team, it seemed to have become a piece of knowledge, constantly absorbing the cavalry of the forbidden army to pursue. Although Wang Zishu was in the hundred-man team, and some cavalrymen were shot and announced to withdraw from the battle, the proportion of eliminated was much higher than that of the forbidden army.

And staring at the prince's hundred-man team, the commander of the forbidden cavalry who gritted his teeth, did not know his cavalry on both wings. has been almost wiped out by Wang Zishu's two hundred-man teams. In turn, two teams of 100 began to encircle them.

When the commander of the forbidden army found out that there were less than 500 cavalry left in his thousand-man team, the number of cavalry under Wang Zishu. There are more than 200 people, and this is only in the archery confrontation, the battle loss ratio formed by the two armies.

Just when the commander of the forbidden army scolded Wang Zishu and would only rely on archery skills and did not dare to confront them, Wang Zishu quickly asked the cavalry around him to speed up. seized a small slope in the training ground and quickly turned the horse's head.

Seeing that Wang Zishu finally stopped running, the commander of the forbidden army finally excitedly commanded the whole army to rush forward. But as he began to charge, the cavalry hundreds, which had been covering from both sides, began to devour his remaining cavalry.

When he was forced to be in some confusion, Wang Zishu pointed straight ahead with a wooden stick and said, "Brothers, kill with me!" ”

At the sound of the order, the cavalry officers and soldiers, who had just stopped to rest for a while, quickly rushed straight down the hillside. The two armies launched a frontal fight, but what made the commander of the forbidden army a little unbearable was that there was not much cavalry left by him at this moment.

Although it can still be seen that the number of cavalry of the forbidden army is more than that of the cavalry, compared to the cavalry, it is a fusion of collective battles. The cavalry of the forbidden army was in a chaotic formation, and there was a feeling of losing sight of one or the other, and the cavalry of the forbidden army on the entire battlefield completely lost their direction.

Just when the commander of the forbidden army kept beckoning the cavalry to move closer to him, Wang Zishu, who rushed down from the hillside, had already launched an attack on him. Soldier to soldier, general to general.

In the face of the wooden sticks that the prince approached directly, the commander of the forbidden army could only fight with his sword. It's just that what made his face unbearable was that Wang Zishu used a wooden stick and the spear riding technique he used, forcing him to turn around as an old soldier.

In less than ten moves, he has already been hit in three places by the prince. But he still refused to take the initiative to withdraw from the confrontation, until Wang Zishu shot him on the wrist, and the commander of the forbidden army felt a pain in his hand, and the wooden knife in his hand naturally flew out.

Before he could react, the head of the wooden stick with the lime bag was already pressed against his throat. The remaining cavalry of the forbidden army who watched this scene also completely understood that they were defeated.

A thousand cavalry of the forbidden army could not defeat the three hundred-man teams of the cavalry. Whether it was archery, horsemanship, or even the fighting skills on horses, they all lost to the young but powerful new cavalry in front of them.

Seeing that all the cavalry in the drill battle stopped moving, Wang Zishu quickly withdrew his wooden stick and said, "General Xu, admit it!" ”

After saying that, he quickly raised the wooden stick in his hand, and the remaining cavalry quickly gathered with him. As for the rest of the forbidden army, looking at the commander who was a little difficult to accept this defeat, he also seemed a little overwhelmed.

At this moment, Wang Zishu quickly said: "General Xu, I know that it is difficult for you to accept this reality. But what I want to say is that this time it is not my cavalry that will take advantage of you, what I want to tell you is that the Fanbang cavalry is really strong.

If the one-on-one cavalry fights, these brothers under my command are afraid that they will lose more and win less. Now you feel that defeat is on us, and it is very difficult to accept. Can General Xu imagine if you appeared on the battlefield one day?

Although this drill and confrontation cannot test the real combat ability, after all, no one will die. If you go to the battlefield, you really wake up to the strength of the Fanbang cavalry, I don't need to tell you what the end will be, right? ”

After saying these words, Wang Zishu did not continue to fall into the ground, and soon led the remaining cavalry officers and soldiers. Soon returned to the training ground to give orders, and this scene also made Zhao Xu and other monarchs and ministers really feel the weakness of the military.

looked at the forbidden army, which was strong and strong, but in this kind of exercise, it was defeated by the cavalry army with three times the number of people. This has to be pulled to the battlefield, and in the face of those Fanbang cavalry, what consequences will be imagined! (To be continued......)
