After the phalanx of mounted cavalry, there was a phalanx of light cavalry. In the light cavalry camp of the Hexi Army, two types of cavalry were also divided according to weight. The first type of horse was protected by armor on the chest and neck, and the soldiers were dressed in heavy scale armor and armed with spears, horizontal knives, and horned bows. This is a cavalry between mounted cavalry and light cavalry. Compared with the mounted cavalry, it has the advantage of adapting to a variety of terrain conditions, its flexibility is better than that of the mounted cavalry, and its impact power is better than that of ordinary light cavalry, and it is a kind of cavalry with the largest number of troops in the Tang Army.

The second type of cavalry war horse only has accessories such as saddles and bridles, and even the armor of the soldiers is light armor, and the weapons are two kinds of weapons: horizontal knives and horn bows, which have super mobility and flexible turning power, and are mainly used for intelligence detection and harassment.

Li Siye rode in front of them without saying a word, and waited until he reached the end of the phalanx before turning around and saying to Li Guangbi: "Not bad. ”

Is it just good, Li Guangbi had some broken thoughts in his heart, but he didn't expect that this Dr. Li cherished words like gold and only made a two-word judgment. He wanted to ask, how does it compare with the Anxi cavalry and the Beitinghan navy?

"Doctor, please go to the East Camp to patrol the Chishui Right Army."

Li Siye nodded, and said with a calm expression: "Then lead the way." ”

Jiedu sent the honor guard around the southern city wall and headed to the east of the city.

What Li Guangbi showed this time was no longer a phalanx, but the daily training of the cavalry, practicing shooting targets in high-speed running. This is the most difficult training, and even a veteran soldier with ten years of military experience cannot achieve ten shots and ten hits.

This kind of training with a performative nature was naturally the best cavalry in the battalions, and they were improvised into a group, and under the command of the escort officer waving the flag, they quickly rushed towards the ten targets in the center of the field.

Between their firing area and the target was a white line seventy paces apart, which was the maximum radius of the angular bow, beyond which even if they were shot, the lethality would not be enough to cause damage.

The horses' hooves rattled on the ground, the dust was blowing, the west wind was tight, and the archers were leaning sideways on their horses, drawing their bowstrings, constantly judging the effect of the wind and their running on the arrows. Suddenly, I saw a loose string in the front of the person vibrate, and the arrow was thrown into the air with an arc and then slowly fell, suddenly hitting the target. The rest also pulled their own strings, or hit the target or missed altogether.

The soldier in charge of reporting the target ran over to look, waving the flag and shouting: "Six out of ten hits, two hit the bull's-eye!" ”

Li Siye nodded approvingly, saying that this result is already very good, and with the current wind speed, it can still be targeted, and it is really an experienced veteran who can do it.

"Very good."

The evaluation he got was still these three short words, which made Li Guangbi's heart quite unhappy, and he let go of his throat and ordered: "If the arrow didn't hit the target just now, hit fifty military sticks." ”

This is a bit of a gambling component, just to tell Li Siye that their results can be better.

Li Siye turned back to him and said: "Compared to them, I expect your quality and performance more, as an excellent general, a mature and steady commander, how can you be affected by the emotions and judgments of others." ”

This sentence confused Li Guangbi, isn't it right for me to physically punish my own soldiers?

Li Siye said again: "Let me ask you, in the usual debriefing training, should they be punished for shooting such results?" ”

Li Guangbi hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee and raised his hands and said, "Doctor Qiyu, it shouldn't be!" ”

"Why then do you punish them today? Just because I don't have a good enough assessment of them? If I am not your boss, but your opponent, and some of my words can affect your emotions, then your opponent can also give certain negative orders because of the change in emotions. If you make a mistake, you may lose more soldiers! ”

Li Guangbi's face turned red and said loudly: "The doctor has taught you a lesson!" ”

Li Siye continued: "We are generals who command operations, and every command can affect the victory or defeat of the war, and the life and death of the soldiers. I hope that your orders will be given indifferently through mental and rational judgment, and will not be affected by anger or other bad emotions that will affect your command, and that you must be as cold-blooded as a wolf and as calm as a wolf, understand? ”

Li Guangbi said loudly: "Understood! ”

Many military envoys who followed them were worried in their hearts, Li Guangbi's ability to command the army and command operations was far better than theirs, and even Ge Shuhan and An Sishun were full of praise for him, but they didn't expect that on the first day they saw Dr. Li today, they were found out by Li Siye and criticized him violently, and it was really tricky and harsh.

"Get on the horse, enter the city and lead me to see the Chinese army camp!"

Li Siye's six Xuan began to enter Wuwei City, and Jiedu made the honor guard pause in the urn city. He dismounted with his men and walked up the staircase to the city wall to inspect the military appearance of the soldiers stationed at the head of the city. At the same time, the Chinese army camp is also close to the eastern wall of Wuwei City, and they can stand on the city wall and look down on the structure, patrol and training of the camp below.

Chishui's Chinese army was an all-infantry lineup, including heavy infantry pikemen, crossbowmen, jumpers, and a diverse array of infantry phalanxes, including the Modao team. The composition of this army is roughly the same as that of the Anxi Army, but it has a more complete range of heavy weapons than the Anxi Army, including bed crossbows, crossbow carts and Fuyuan crossbows, and has a stronger ability to attack fortifications. In the battle of Stone Fort City commanded by Ge Shuhan, a part of the Chishui Army participated in the battle.

The Chinese army camp is being trained to retreat from the military formation, and the retreat of the formation is also the most test of the army's coordination ability, and it requires the most tacit cooperation between the general and the lower-level officers and then the grass-roots soldiers, so defeat without collapse is the best praise for an excellent general.

Li Siye finally opened his mouth and said approvingly: "The Chishui Army is well-groomed and well-trained, and it is worthy of being the first army in Hexi. If the Dadou, Health, Ningkou, Yumen and other armies can have the combat ability of yours, then my festival envoy can really sit back and relax. ”

Li Guangbi's face showed joy, and he was secretly relieved in his heart, and finally got Li Siye's personal approval. This Dr. Li represents the strongest military command ability of the Tang Army, and is the ceiling among the generals of the Tang Army.

At the night of the beginning of February in the twelfth year of Tianbao, the mansion of Cheng Jiwen in the imperial history was brightly lit, and this day was his forty-fifth birthday. During the day, in the courtyard in front of the main hall of the mansion, 7749 meals were spread, and the relatives and friends in the Chang'an officialdom gave him a lot of face, and basically everyone who could come came. Even the new right minister Yang Guozhong also sent people to send congratulatory stickers and gifts, but what made him even happier was that Fan Yangping and Lu Jinjuanyuan also sent people to send gifts and congratulatory stickers from An Lushan, who were cared for by the two most powerful people in the Tang Dynasty, which was also a kind of troubled happiness.

The curfew began in the evening, the guests had already left, and at the moment there was a stir in his house with his relatives and family.

Giwin sat on the bed in front of the central hall, wearing a black gauze on his head, wearing a crimson regular robe, and the two small mustaches at the corners of his mouth were curled. Several of his concubines were dancing the Lingbo dance they had learned from the court in the open space in front of the hall, and although they were clumsy compared to the professional dancers in the pear garden, they were already in shape, and they were even favored by Ji Wen.

Ji Wen felt very satisfied, he was currently the best mixed among Li Linfu's henchmen, although the previous Wang Jie's power was for a while, and even Yang Guozhong was jealous, but in the end, he was dead. Now that he has both Yang Guozhong's help and An Lushan's care, he must have a bright future.

The steward of Fan Yang's concert hall whispered in his ear, and he immediately waved away the concubines who were dancing highly, and the two came to the partition of the study.

The steward took out the envelope that An Lushan gave him, presented it to Ji Wen with both hands, gritted his teeth and said: "Li Siye is also the envoy of the three towns of Anxi Xiting and Hexi. I hope Zhongcheng can test Yang Guozhong and see what his attitude towards Li Siye is. ”

"There is no need to be tempted, I know that Yang Guozhong does not want Li Siye to become the envoy of the Three Towns Festival at all, and now he has regretted it in his heart, and is thinking about how to weaken Li Siye's authority."
