246. New tactics

Jingwen and Liu Renliang left the Ganlu Palace, and then returned to their home in Chang'an City. And now Liu Renliang and Jingwen are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run. Therefore, now that the relationship between Jingwen and Liu Renliang is heating up, it is simply Cheng Dù who wants to cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper to worship his brother. And now Jingwen is also having a headache, how can he train these soldiers, so that the soldiers can defeat that Zhang Shigui! Zhang Shigui is purely a-stirring stick, he can't be the coach himself, but he doesn't want Jingwen to be the coach, so he proposed to compete with Jingwen for military exercises. And Li Jing is too, he actually said that Jingwen has a certain military talent, thinking that Jingwen can lead good soldiers, so he proposed to let Jingwen participate in the military exercise. But Jingwen himself is helpless, how can he deal with these people!

"Brother Liu Renliang, do you know what kind of person this Zhang Shigui is? What kind of troops is he good at fighting? Jingwen asked.

Liu Renliang said: "I also said that Zhang Shigui is good at using cavalry, and infantry is his weakness. Therefore, if he wants to conduct military exercises with you, he will definitely use cavalry. And we only have more than 500 war horses at present, which was given to us by the emperor. And Zhang Shigui can use a lot of war horses at will, so he can organize a cavalry team of 2,000 people, so that they can easily defeat us. And we only have 500 horses, which means that we can only form 500 cavalry, which is only a quarter of the number of the opponent. For the rest, we'll have to rely on the infantry to restrain the cavalry. However, it is very difficult to restrain cavalry with infantry, and there are few precedents for success since ancient times. At that time, Liu Yu's Missing Moon Array, although it restrained the cavalry, was too limited, because they needed a naval army! ”

Liu Renliang still has a lot of knowledge of military affairs, so he knows that it is too difficult to restrain cavalry with infantry, almost impossible.

"Really. Why didn't the emperor just give me 2,000 war horses, so that I could raise 2,000 cavalry, so that the strength would be stronger! Jingwen said.

But Liu Renliang said: "Actually, the emperor doesn't want you to be the boss. Because the emperor doesn't trust your military talents, he just gives you five hundred war horses casually. If you give it more, then once you get shit luck, won't you become the boss? When the time comes, the emperor will have to find a way to take you down. ”

"No, since I've been forced to this Cheng dù, I'm going to find a way to defeat that Zhang Shigui. If you can't beat Zhang Shigui. Then I'm afraid that those of us will be trampled under Zhang Shigui's feet for the rest of our lives. So, we have to beat him and show him that we're not something to mess with. Jingwen said.

Jingwen is no longer representing himself, but representing the more than 100,000 returned Hermes-Epitek. Zhang Shigui humiliated them at the time, and they were very angry, which caused a mutiny. But now if he is defeated by Zhang Shigui again, it will be a great shame. Now that Jingwen is the leader of those soldiers, he naturally has to think about them. Only by defeating Zhang Shigui can it be considered a success, and this humiliation is thrown back to them.

"Cavalry. What to do with infantry to restrain cavalry? Jingwen couldn't help but think.

"Oh? By the way, wasn't the Tang Dynasty just to restrain cavalry with infantry? Jingwen said suddenly.

Jingwen suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen the tactics of the Tang Dynasty against the nomadic light cavalry in historical novels? It was a mix of foot cavalry. Together, they will find ways to restrain the enemy. And now this Zhang Shigui is not with light cavalry, then this tactic should also be able to be restrained. The army of the Tang Dynasty actually already had the prototype of a group army. That's when different classes of troops are mixed together. And Jingwen only remembered now that the current Tang Dynasty did not seem to have mixed soldiers into legions.

In the current Tang Army, infantry counts as infantry. Cavalry counts cavalry, and they are all separated. However, they did not seem to have thought of merging infantry and cavalry into a mixed legion. Although Jingwen doesn't know when this method was fashionable, Jingwen now knows that this method of mixing and matching was not practiced in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. This tactic may be a tactic summed up by the Tang Dynasty after years of war. Now, perhaps, the generals of the Tang Dynasty have not yet thought of this tactic, and everything will be so. And this method is the tactic of restraining the nomadic light cavalry, which is a rare good tactic! This tactic can use a small amount of cavalry, as well as a large number of infantry, to restrain the enemy's large number of cavalry.

The cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was not the heavy armored cavalry of the past, but mainly light cavalry. Although Li Shimin also has a unit called the Xuanjia Army, the number is not large, and the real number is mainly light cavalry. And to deal with the light cavalry, Jingwen already had a preliminary plan, that is, to use the tactics of the Tang Dynasty in the future to deal with the cavalry in the early Tang Dynasty. This has to be said to be a northern county, and the new tactics were actually used on their comrades first.

"Brother Liu Renliang, I have a way. I have good tactics and can defeat this Zhang Shigui! When the time comes, we will definitely be able to win, so we can slap him in the face! Jingwen said with a smile.

"What tactics?" Liu Renliang asked.

Jing Wen explained his tactics to Liu Renliang well, but Liu Renliang's eyes immediately lit up, obviously he knew that this tactic was not without a future. It sounds wonderful, but how to actually fight is a very important question.

"Brother Liu Renliang, there is absolutely no problem with this." Jingwen said.

Jingwen knew that this tactic had forged the core tactics of the Tang Dynasty to restrain the nomads, and it was a good tactic that could stand the test of history, so it could be used to deal with ordinary light cavalry. As long as it is used well, Zhang Shigui's light cavalry will definitely be at the mercy of Jingwen's "slaughter". Although he didn't really want to kill the enemy, Jingwen knew that Zhang Shigui was afraid that he would suffer a big loss this time. As for the position of the commander of the Snow Shame Army, Na Jingwen was bound to win, because he didn't want others to continue to insult the people in his fiefdom. Since he saved them back, then he has to be a good person to the end, otherwise what else should he be their lord?

"Brother Liu Renliang, let's go prepare weapons first! This time the weapon has to be specially built, and the Datang army does not have it at all now. Jingwen said.

"How did you go so early? It's getting late now, let's talk about it tomorrow! Liu Renliang said.

"The soldiers are fast, it's good to be able to be earlier!" Jingwen said.

Jingwen dragged Liu Renliang to the blacksmith shop, ready to build his own soldier's weapons. (To be continued......)
