[I was so tired last night, I fell asleep while writing, embarrassed ......]

Dragoons, that is, mounted infantry, this number has basically become a historical term under the command of Ding Yi since the multi-dragoon battalion was left in Beijing by Yingzong, but it was reused on this day. In the Rongyi Regiment of the Rongyi Brigade, the number of two battalions was changed to the dragoon battalion, the fourth dragoon battalion, and the fifth dragoon battalion.

This is not Ding Yi's original intention, it is Liu Tie's Jianyì: "Listen to Youzhi, when Shi Heng was in rebellion in Beijing, the brothers of the old dragoon battalion did not forget their own names, sir, let's leave it to those brothers in Beijing, a little thought!" "He is not very talented, he doesn't know anything like belonging and collective identity, but he just ushers in the middle of it and has experienced the understanding of people's hearts.

Ding Yi nodded in approval when he heard this: "Okay!" That's it! "He is from the background of the king of soldiers, and he knows very well what the most painful thing for soldiers, especially low-level soldiers, is. It is difficult for people who have not had a military career to understand this, that is, the withdrawal of the old army, which will make the veterans who go out of this army feel a kind of dazedness, although they have left, but the feeling of losing a piece of the soul is a very indescribable pain.

Originally, the Rong regiment was to be changed to full cavalry, and the Arab horses were sufficient, and the Arab horses that survived the artillery fire in the first encounter were hundreds of them at that time, plus some frightened ones who ran away. There are nearly 1,000 horses; The ransom that followed, except for the underage ponies, did not count. More than 200 adult Arabian horses were fished from Ismailian officials, and dozens were raised by the families themselves; Of course. The main thing is the capture of the destroyer fleet, those surviving troop carriers, the captured war horses, plus the original gets, are enough to equip Rong Yituan and more.

But Zhao Fu didn't agree to do this, and he made a request to Ding Yi: "Your Highness, such a good horse, such a good horse!" How can it be used as a pack horse! With such war horses to form a battalion of cavalry, no one can stop the sharp edge! Equip a chicken breastplate and rifle. Even if you fight against the standing army and horses of Warat under the command of Ye Xian back then, you won't lose in one battle or five! ”

One against five, it sounds absurd, but the Warat people grew up on horseback.

The question is what arrow can penetrate a chicken breastplate fifty meters away? Not to mention the range of the rifle, the aiming distance can be hit at fifty meters; Arabian horses and Mongolian horses, both sprint up and crash into each other, who flies out. There is no doubt about this at all, right?

Besides, the 80 kilometers per hour speed of the Arabian horse sprint, it is not wrong to shoot the horse first, but it must also be shot! Accurate shooting is not to be counted on [try to throw a car with a stone on the highway?] If you don't lose it before you get knocked away, you can shoot in a covered shot. A knight in triple armor is on horseback, and with a riding shield behind the saddle, he is basically immune to most damage.

Therefore, Zhao Fu said that one enemy is five. It's not a joke, it's true. Will the Warat cavalry have a chance to show off their horsemanship? Dream on, if you fight at the battalion level. After the bombardment of the battalion mortar squad, the cavalry began to move, a rifle salvo was fired from a hundred meters away, and then the formation was cut obliquely, and the grenades were thrown. This is not counting the size advantage of Arabian horses over Mongolian horses!

"And what do you want?" Ding Yi looked at Zhao Fu and encouraged him to continue.

Zhao Fu, who was born as a cavalry general in the border town, was really full of fanaticism and passion in his eyes: "Your Highness! You promised the last general in Guangxi, and if you have a chance in the future, you will let the last general lead the cavalry! Give the last general a battalion! A company, a cavalry company! He was very eager, and there was a hint of begging in his expectant eyes.

Wan An watched from the side, and didn't open his mouth at all, in his opinion, Zhao Fu was too unproductive, for a battalion, more than 300 cavalry came to open this mouth with Ding Yi? How big is it? Is it worth it? If he wants to be replaced by Wan'an, he will never come to Ding Yi with 3,000 cavalry, and this battle is going to be fought, the biggest problem is the climate and wind and sand, if the battle is really engaged, what is the chance of needing cavalry?

Dante laughed, he liked Zhao Fu's tone, which was a soldier's belief and confidence in his profession.

This is a feeling that Wan An cannot understand, and more importantly, on the current battlefield, because of its mobility, the cavalry is far from being completely eliminated, and the cavalry is completely eliminated, which is the season when armored clusters enter the battlefield on a large scale.

"I have rarely broken my promises."

"Give you a battalion, five hundred Arabian thoroughbreds. Is it enough? ”

Zhao Fu shook his head: "Not so many, three hundred or so horses are enough, but you have to match the same number of Mongolian horses, and besides, Your Highness, can you talk to the fleet and transfer a few soldiers from the marine battalion originally stationed in Suez to the last general?" For the formation of cavalry battalions. ”

"Okay, how many people do you want?" Ding Yi is also reliable when he hears it, with Mongolian horses, it is used for weight, and Arab horses are used for sprinting, Zhao Fu is really knowledgeable, not on paper, so he said that he wanted a few people, and Ding Yi naturally would not artificially set up obstacles, so he allowed him.

Who knew that Zhao Fu actually blushed, touched his nose, and said abruptly: "This, it's not too much." ”

"Which people do you want, you must have a name and a surname, otherwise how to write the appointment order on Yuzhi's side?" Ding Yi taught Liu Ji to come over, prepared pen and ink, and said to Zhao Fu, "This matter is done now, but you have to get the cavalry battalion done well today, and then adjust it during the march, there is no time for you to run in the troops, it is really not good, this time watch the battle first, and do some reconnaissance affairs." ”

"Yes!" Zhao Fu replied simply, "We will never delay the march of the Rong First Brigade." ”

Then the next thing, Ding Yi was stunned.

Because Zhao Fu is simply reporting the name of the dish! One name after another, along with the rank and place of origin, kept popping out of his mouth, and when he finished speaking, Ding Yi looked at him and asked, "Is it enough?" Not enough for you to continue. ”

"The end will be ashamed." Zhao Fu blushed and lowered his head.

"How many people are here? You're going to take the entire Marine battalion over and get rid of twenty or thirty of them that you don't want, right? Ding Yi was really made to cry and laugh by him, and nearly three hundred names popped out of Zhao Fu's mouth! There are three companies in a battalion, plus the battalion headquarters, the health center, etc., there are only about 300 people, and he asked for more than 200 people in one go, where are these few people!

Zhao Fu's cavalry dream has never been extinguished, he took the marine battalion in Suez, because the troops were too small, and the capture was not much, but in his spare time, he always strengthened the training of the marine battalion and trained the cavalry. In Xu Bin's words: "Zhao Xiaozi is training the family!" "It's the training of the generals of the border towns to do it with the family members who charge into battle.

So which one will work and which one will not, he really knows it in his heart, and as soon as Ding asked him to say his name, he reported it at once.

"Let Huang Xiaoyang give him people first, and when the battle is over, I will have a good math lesson with you Zhao Fu!" Ding Yi instructed Liu Ji, who was drafting the order, "Write another order for the deployment of equipment, and let the three battalions of the guard regiment give Zhao Fu a full set of chicken breastplates first; The text was sent to Mr. Yang Hao, and asked the logistics side to transfer 400 captured Damascus steel knives to him. ”

"How can the last general repay His Highness's kindness! It's just a powder! Zhao Fu knelt down in front of Ding Yi all of a sudden, and even his tone was pharyngeal.

Wan An looked at it with a smile from the side, feeling that this sycophant was too unartistic.

He really doesn't understand the feelings of people in the army, although Ding Yi didn't give these soldiers and assemblies to Zhao Fu privately, but to have a unit in his heart, for the generals in the army, it is really an extremely exciting thing, red powder to give to the beauty, sword to the strong.

"Get up, give you half an hour, go transfer people and equipment, and after half an hour, the Rong First Brigade must set off."

"Yes!"

Zhao Fu took the order as if he had been beaten, and went out in a hurry to find Xu Bin and Huang Xiaoyang to ask for something.

"Sir is too obedient to this general." Although Wan An changed his combat uniform, the aura of a scholar and a doctor, between conversations, was still obvious.

Liu Ji, who was left behind in Ding's job as a secretary, agreed with his words: "The disciple also seconded it."

"It's harmless, and besides, it's not a bad thing to be able to build up cavalry troops, and when you go to America, you think you can follow Egypt so easily? Ancient Egypt is also an ancient civilization, and the current Egypt also has the foundation of ancient Egypt. When you go to the Americas, you can't find a city like Cairo to fight, and then you will have a long field battle, a squad battle, and no cavalry, what will you do? Ding Yi patiently explained to Wan An and Liu Ji, "On the American side, I'm afraid that there is no road, you have to be mentally prepared, in terms of property, of course, it is amazingly rich, but there is really no formed civilization there." It's all scattered tribes, and the cavalry with strong mobility will be the protagonist at that time. ”

"I see, the disciple is dull and stupid, fortunately Mr. ordered!" Wan An is talented, and he wakes up at one point.

Liu Ji is okay on paper, but there is nothing he can't figure out.

So the Rong 1st Brigade began to open the way with two dragoon battalions of the Rong 1st Regiment and began to march in the direction of Cairo.

Looking at the smoke and dust raised by the army's departure, Ding Yi smiled and said to Morena beside him: "You will become the empress of Egypt." ”

"Morena has never doubted the great Highness, it has been like this since the moment she met His Highness, it is here now, and it will be so in the future." She stood beside Ding Yi, she didn't need to bow her waist or look sideways at Ding Yi, but anyone could feel it, this was her words from the heart.

In her heart, Ding Yi's figure has filled all the gaps.

"Report! The reconnaissance detachment of the 1st Rong Division has converged with the reconnaissance detachment of the 2nd Rong Brigade and is rushing to Suez! ”

The division headquarters of the Rong First Division is the men and horses led by Wang Yue.

Ding Yi had a smile on his face, Wang Yue really did it, and the light of the famous general looked like it was about to burst out.
