0272 The crowd is amazed
Early the next morning, Li Tai led the recuperating troops to ride their horses to Baishui Plateau, and Liang Xin, a subordinate official of the General's Mansion who was responsible for receiving and guiding, also greeted him, but when he saw Li Tai's subordinates, Liang Xin couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"These are all Metropolitan Governors?"
Liang Xin pointed to the cavalry team behind Li Tai and asked in disbelief.
"It's not all, today there is only a horse field, there is no way to practice the infantry formation, only the cavalry is brought in, and the other soldiers are still resting in the township."
Li Tai smiled when he heard this, looking at the thousands of cavalry soldiers behind him, his eyes were also quite proud.
"This, these thousands of cavalry, all for the private music of the metropolitan governor?"
Liang Xin still couldn't believe it, glared at him again, and after a slight pause, he added: "It's just that under the Metropolitan Governor's Sect, there is no state, county and township regiment to participate?" If I'm not mistaken, it seems that the Metropolitan Governor only entered the customs and returned to righteousness in the ninth year of the Great Unification, how, how can he ......?"
After Li Tai heard this, he looked at Liang Xin's surprised expression again, and his heart was even more refreshed.
He himself has gone all the way, and he knows all kinds of hardships and drills, but in the eyes of others who are not familiar with him, it is simply an incredible thing that he has formed a cavalry force of more than 1,000 people in just over two years and by himself.
It is important to know that forming a large-scale and combat-effective cavalry team is not just about having men and horses in place. Even the most basic requirements of people and horses cannot be fulfilled by the vast majority of people.
Liang Xin's family is also a Sanfu family, and the brothers have been tyrannical for many years, even if there are only more than 1,000 villagers under the command of this department, and there are only less than 100 cavalry people, one is that the burden of raising the army is too great, and the other is that it is not necessary, after all, there are not so many combat missions to rush into the field.
Looking at Liang Xin's surprised expression, Li Tai endured it for a while before he didn't tell him where this was, not to mention all the parts, he didn't just see the cavalry team in front of him. Not to mention that they are all the world's first-class elites, but it is not a big problem to blow up the vast majority of Guan Longhaoqiang and some of the Beizhen army leaders.
Of course, it's still a bit crazy to think so, the specific situation has to be analyzed in detail, and when there is a real battle, various battlefield conditions are changing rapidly, and you still have to ...... Why do you still think about it seriously?
Li Tai shook his head, pressed the idea of not being able to fall into Yu Jin's mind if he went to attack the camp now, and turned to Liang Xin with a smile to explain that the various origins of the people in the trilogy are not all their own private songs.
After Liang Xin heard this, the surprise on his face was slightly relieved, but his attitude towards Li Tai was a little more enthusiastic than yesterday. It's one thing to hear a lot of things, but it's another thing to actually see them.
Today's Li Tai has nearly 10,000 people in the Sanfang City, which is not a secret, and those who are interested can inquire about it after a little inquiry. But when you really see with your own eyes that they can casually pull out thousands of cavalry troops, the visual and psychological impact this brings is not comparable to hearsay.
I used to think that this Li Dadu Governor was really a little rose with thorns, but now I know that this guy is a Zhangba big lance that can poke people through the heart!
Not only Liang Xin had such thoughts, but the other onlookers who came to inquire up and down the hill also showed awe-inspiring expressions on their faces after seeing this, and they didn't dare to get too far in front of the nuisance.
Cavalry is a kind of high mobility, high offensive and high consumption of troops, the general military leaders and heroes often form a cavalry team, even if there are not many opportunities to apply in actual combat, you can not use it, but you can't do without it.
There is not even a team of pro-soldier cavalry, and it is worthy of boasting of martial arts in this troubled world? Even if there are only three or five riders, they still exude an unyielding spirit!
However, after the Battle of Bishan two years ago, except for such a grand ceremonial occasion as the Great Parade, the masses rarely saw the cavalry brigade of thousands of people on its way.
One is naturally that the veterans of the town soldiers in the Battle of Bishan suffered heavy casualties, and many of the army's head songs could not make up such a large scale. Second, even if there are still people who keep a cavalry unit of this scale, they will not be able to pull it out and blow up the streets.
So when Li Tai led his troops to climb the plateau, he suddenly became the most beautiful boy on the plateau, and the surrounding people came to watch if they had anything to do.
"This Li Boshan is so powerful, there are more than 1,000 horsemen alone, and he is afraid of thousands of troops?"
Some generals couldn't help but sigh when they saw Li Tai surrounded by knights.
There were also people next to him who nodded and agreed: "It's really terrifying, no wonder when he served in Taifu before, many generals didn't dare to argue with him." He rode so strongly, if anyone offended him and crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains to attack and kill, who could prevent this? ”
But some generals were not angry: "It's just a scary posture, he is just a young man, how can he use his riding power?" If the advance and retreat are all out of control, they will be scattered when they run, just adding laughter to the crowd! ”
These words restored the confidence of many onlookers, and they all bowed their heads in agreement. Cavalry operations have a set of more demanding standards, and if the soldiers are inexperienced, the collapse of the military formation is simply unsightly.
Many of them, the generals of Beizhen, did not dare to boast that they were good at commanding cavalry battles. Li Tai did not have a huge meritorious service as evidence, and he lacked enough years to accumulate experience, and in the eyes of many people, the next scandal seemed to have become inevitable.
In addition to some people who were making amusement, there were also some town generals who stood aside with deep faces.
They were also shocked by the considerable power that Li Tai possessed, and hoped that Li Tai's troops would not perform well in the next drills, but it was not to see Li Tai make a fool of himself, but after determining that Li Tai did not have generals who were good at commanding cavalry battles, if they could join his subordinates, they might be able to be reused.
If they could obtain the actual command of such a cavalry team, it would simply be a dream situation for these commanders and generals who were not powerful in themselves. Even if this team lacks combat effectiveness temporarily, it must be painstakingly built into an elite and strong army, which will shine on the battlefield in the coming year and become a big capital for the shadow of the wife!
Everyone on the hill followed Li Tai and his party with different thoughts and went straight to the school field, and the playful expressions on the faces of some people on the way gradually converged, because the team in the field of vision was orderly and dense, not at all like an ordinary rabble.
The chatter of the spectators naturally reached the ears of the people in the team, this time it was Li Yantou and Gao Zhongmi's family general Gao He who was responsible for leading the family soldiers to participate in the parade, Li Yantou stared at the ridiculed and sarcastic spectators, Gao He said to everyone in a deep voice: "You must work hard when you enter the school field later, if you show the ugly people, even if the Lang master doesn't ask, I can't spare you!" ”
After hearing this, everyone agreed to their promises, and their eyes also revealed a strong fighting spirit. When everyone cheers up and focuses on their every move, the whole team is filled with a surge of coercion, which is called morale.
Soon the team galloped into the school grounds, and before receiving further instructions, all the soldiers followed the internal organization of the camp building, and soon formed a simple phalanx in the school field.
The crowd outside the school saw the completion of the array, and their eyes changed slightly. Flat-ground formations are not a great skill to be learned, but can be learned with a little practice.
But if the array can be completed in a very short time while on a horse, it undoubtedly means that these soldiers are superb in riding and have a tacit understanding with each other. So far, they have not been able to find anything to laugh at about this team.
Seeing that the crowd outside the school field was gathering more and more, Li Tai was also a little helpless for a while, did these people have nothing to do, how could they all rush here to join in the fun.
To be honest, he was really a little nervous in his heart, worried that the performance of the subordinates might not be satisfactory, but they came and came, and they always didn't back down. Besides, it's not a tragic battle that determines life and death, if you really want to be applauded for your poor performance, you will directly stop the supply of materials to the Water Administration, and see if these spectators still have the strength to ridicule and ridicule!
Thinking of this, he calmed down a lot, took a Hulu quiver full of ringing arrows from the hands of his own soldiers, rode his horse to the center of the school field, looked at some markers used for drills on the school field, raised his hand and twisted an arrow, and shot a circular target with a diameter of several feet as he ran.
The tribesmen, who were preoccupied with waiting for their orders, heard the sound of the chirping, and when they rushed out of the hundred horsemen, and in the process of running, they closed the queue and made a straight mistake, and each of them stretched their bows on the horseback, and waited for the horses to gallop into the firing range, and with the head of the team snapped their tongues and broke out, they flew out like rain, and shot straight at the target, and after a few breaths, the target was suddenly shot into a hedgehog, and there were those who missed the target, but the number was only a minority.
"Good!"
When the crowd outside the school saw this scene, no matter what they thought, they couldn't help but applaud at this moment.
Li Tai pulled the bowstring again, and three blunt-tipped Ming Di shot at the first team, and the head of the team inserted a small flag into the back of the robe, and led the team to gallop into the distance, and several teams rushed out of the formation, vertically and horizontally, chasing and intercepting, and weaving into a large interception net on the school field to prevent the team from rushing back to the main formation to deliver the order flag.
Seeing that all the squads were trying their best to perform, Li Tai didn't want to become a factor affecting the drill, so he rode his horse to the edge of the school field, looked at the various clutch confrontations on the field, and ordered his own soldiers to adjust the strength balance and confrontation intensity of the two sides of the drill with the sound of a bang.
"Wonderful, wonderful! Look at this posture of freedom and control, how does it look like a newly formed team? Where did Li Boshan recruit so many strong soldiers who were good at riding and archery, and where did he learn such exquisite riding skills to teach his troops? ”
The confrontation drill in the school field was in full swing, and the crowd outside the school field was also talking one after another, in addition to the amazement, their biggest feeling was curiosity, they only felt that Li Tai and his subordinates had too many unsolved mysteries.
Halfway through the drill, there were a considerable number of people coming to this trip, one of the leaders was Yu Jin, who rushed to hear the news, and the other was Zhao Gui, who led his troops to Baishui not long ago.
The drills on the school field became more and more exciting, even if the two big men were present, they failed to attract everyone's attention, a few people near were still in a hurry, and those in the distance didn't see the two of them coming, just tiptoe and stared at the situation on the school field, gritting their teeth or cheering or scolding, and they couldn't wait to rush into the stadium to join in.
