Chapter 124: Arrange Deployment
When Yaruqi saw Cheng Zhong asking about the secret camp, he forcibly suppressed the urge to kill a game of chess with him at once, thought for a moment and said:
"Ho ho, the angels can rest assured, the secrecy measures of the secret camp are seamless, not to mention the 'Flying Dragon Gang', even if the Western 'Heavenly Wolf Country' is dispatched, it may not be found. ”
"It's for the best.
In this case, you and your 500 men do not need to rush back to the secret camp this time, and after the public trial, you will be in charge of patrolling your tribe to prevent the 'Wyvern Gang' from attacking.
Tomorrow I will go to the chief's grandmother after breakfast, and then please come over too, and the three of us will discuss the formation of the new army and the adjustment of the patrol of the guard battalion. ”
Yaruch nodded in agreement.
He heard the meaning of sending off the guest in Cheng Zhong's tone, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Nothing was said all night.
After breakfast at dawn, Cheng Zhong and Brulari went to the ancestral grandmother's residence.
Yaruch had already arrived, and he was sitting next to his grandmother chatting.
The old man seemed to be in good spirits.
As soon as the bell arrived, Yeruch stood up.
The old man grabbed Yaruqi's leg and tried to stand up, but Cheng Zhong took a step forward and sat down beside her.
"I've been hungry for two days, I don't know how Guo Huaijie is?"
Cheng Zhong asked.
"I had someone deliver water once yesterday, but I haven't delivered it today. ”
The old man replied.
"Now bring him some food and drink, so that he can have the spirit to deal with the noon trial." Cheng Zhong said.
"Okay, Brulari go and arrange it. ”
The old man promised Cheng Zhong while giving orders to his granddaughter.
Bullali nodded and went out.
"Is the public trial conference ready?"
"Back to Lord Angel, everything is ready, don't worry about these little things.
What I'm most worried about now is that Guo Huaijie will not admit his guilt when the time comes, and what will happen to us in front of all the leaders and more than 10,000 Wusun people, making it difficult for us to ride a tiger. ”
"Ancestor don't worry about this matter, I have enough human and material evidence to make him unable to quibble.
We still have a lot of important things to do to solve this matter today. ”
Cheng Zhong said with a relaxed expression and confidence.
Seeing that Cheng Zhong had changed the topic, the old man knew that he would soon ask about the formation of a new army, so he nodded and took the initiative to say:
"The adults have arranged the formation of a new army, and now the personnel have been decided, a total of 500 boys and 500 girls, all of whom are young people about the same size as Brulari, all of them are in good health.
There is a roster here, please look at it Lord Angel. ”
As he spoke, the old man crawled over, took out two bark books from the dilapidated wooden cabinet, and handed them to Cheng Zhong with both hands.
Cheng Zhong took the roster in his hand, quickly read it, and then put it down casually and said:
"Grandma Grandma, Grandpa Yaruch, I initially envisage that five hundred men will be used as infantry to conduct slashing training in the early days.
Five hundred women were used as cavalry, and they were initially trained in horseback formations. ”
"Infantry, cavalry, I don't understand your new terms. ”
The old man said as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand.
"Grandma, Lord Angel is right.
What I saw in the 'Land of Wolves' was that the troops were divided into cavalry and infantry, the cavalry was mainly used for attack, the infantry was mainly used for defense, and the cavalry and infantry cooperated to multiply the combat capability.
To deal with or even destroy a powerful enemy like the 'Wyvern Gang', it is not only necessary to defend, but also to attack. ”
Yaruch chimed in as he patted his grandmother on the back.
"Oh, Grandpa Yaruqi is worthy of being the general who leads the troops, although he only leads the tribal guards, but he understands the division of labor and cooperation of the troops, and I am a bit of a team leader. ”
Cheng Zhong said with a smile.
In fact, his knowledge about military training and combat came from those novels that depicted war.
Books such as "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have been borrowed and read by Cheng Zhong from others, and his understanding of the role of cavalry in the war in the era of cold weapons and how cavalry can cooperate with infantry can be said to be very good.
And Yeruqi was only fortunate enough to witness the power of cavalry when he was in the "Land of Wolves", and he just had a little emotional understanding.
"How to divide the labor and train in the army is up to me and Grandpa Yaruqi to discuss in detail, so my grandmother doesn't have to worry about it.
However, there are some logistical aspects that you have to decide from the rest. ”
Cheng Zhong looked at the old man's incomparably vicissitudes of face and said.
"Lord Angel, please speak!"
"The most urgent thing at the moment is to buy horses. ”
"Don't we have a 'Pegasus', what kind of horse can catch up with our Pegasus?"
"Grandma Ancestor doesn't know, although the 'Heavenly Horse' is fast, it is too tall and unstable, and it is not suitable for cavalry to charge in groups.
I know a kind of horse, especially suitable for cavalry. ”
"What horse?"
"It's a Tibetan horse.
This horse is shorter, has thick legs, a strong waist, a low center of gravity, and a large lung capacity, making it the best cavalry horse. ”
This is the impression that Cheng Zhong left when he was in the Overworld.
He had seen many Tibetan horses on the Tibetan Plateau, and the characteristics of Tibetan horses left a deep memory on him.
A while ago, Bulali had told him that there was a Tibetan tribe a thousand miles away, and he had the idea of equipping cavalry with Tibetan horses.
It's just that he still doesn't know whether the horses raised by the Tibetans in the wolf domain have undergone major mutations.
"Are the Tibetan horses you are talking about a horse bred by a Tibetan tribe?" asked the old man.
"It's this horse.
Grandma can send someone over to take a look, and if it is similar to what I said, she will buy more than 500 horses.
If it's not what I said, don't buy it yet, let's find another way. ”
Cheng Zhong said while thinking.
"I think it's fine, I've seen a few Tibetan ponies with very similar features to what you said.
This kind of horse is not expensive, and one 'heavenly horse' is enough to buy five Tibetan horses. ”
Yaruch hurriedly said.
"Another important thing is the armament.
I envisage that all 500 cavalrymen would use spears, and 500 infantry would use swords.
Anyway, don't worry about the two of you, I don't like any of the weapons that I have in the tribe right now, and I want to redesign them.
It is best to get 'iron' and make a batch of good weapons, so that the Wusun people can be invincible.
This is also a priority, and I am thinking of a way.
At the beginning of training, the cavalry was replaced by wooden guns, and the infantry were replaced by wooden knives
However, there should be a uniform standard in weight, the wooden gun should be more than five catties, and the wooden knife should be about eight catties.
In this way, with new weapons in the future, the soldiers can adapt. ”
Cheng Zhong simply said his thoughts about weapons and equipment.
"Okay, these things are up to me and Yaruqi in the early stage, and as for finding 'iron', we can't do anything about it, so we have to ask the angel. ”
The old man said respectfully.
"One last thing, I would like to consult with both of you.
In view of the fact that there was no problem with the security of the secret camp, Grandpa Yaruqi and the five hundred guards he brought were all temporarily left in the tribe, plus the two hundred guards who originally stayed in the tribe, and the seven hundred people were divided into three groups after being mixed and patrolled in shifts to ensure the safety of the tribe.
Once the new army was formed, Brulari led them into a secret camp where they began training with the help of the remaining 500 old guards.
This is my idea, I wonder if you two agree?"
Cheng Zhong's gaze swept over the faces of the two and said.
"Lord Angel, I have already discussed with Yaruqi about the deployment and use of the army, and it will be up to you to decide it in the future, and we will do our best to carry it out. ”
Hearing the old man say this, Yeruch nodded again and again.
At this time, Cheng Zhong remembered the time he had made with Zhao Tianbao to exchange information, and continued:
"Okay, that's how the troops will arrange it first.
I have some things to deal with yet, and I need to stay in the tribe for another ten days and a half.
As soon as this was done, I moved to a secret camp and personally organized the training of the new army. ”
As he spoke, Cheng Zhong stood up and said goodbye.
What he thought in his heart was that he wanted to go and see Gao Gexing.
