Chapter 427: Elite Cavalry

"This is the tradition of Zhao Feiqi. Only this kind of training can ensure the strength of the Army Soul Legion. Zhao Kuo said calmly, when he was in Changping, he saw Zhao Feiqi's training method, and the first time he saw it was really shocking, but it was on the battlefield at that time, and Zhao Kuo couldn't say anything.

Later, I saw more and got used to it.

"It's better to shed a little blood in peacetime than to lose your life in wartime. Now that conditions are good, with alcohol and doctors, there are few casualties in training. And the arrow was lost to the arrow, and the knife was also an old knife, not sharp. Everyone doesn't attack the head, neck, etc., and it's much better than before. Yan Ju shook his head slightly.

This has been the case since he took over Zhao Feiqi, and even he heard that Zhao Feiqi's training during the Wuling King period was even more ferocious, which was already after improvement.

"These ...... Is it all Zhao Fei's ride? Zhao Sheng pointed to the soldiers in front of him and said.

"Only the five hundred soldiers at the front are the real Zhao Feicai, and the ones in the back are the reserve regiments selected not long ago, and they are training together." Yan Ju said.

In the past, he didn't dare to train the reserve legion like this, and the army soul legion has the effect of resisting death, unless it is seriously injured, it will generally not die, but the reserve legion cannot guarantee it.

"The Reserve Legion is so elite." Zhao Sheng said in surprise.

"Of course, I, Zhao Feicai, am the strongest cavalry in the world." Yan Ju said proudly.

"There will be no more than 50,000 cavalry in the world who can do cavalry and shooting, and 45,000 of them are in my Zhao country. Zhao Feicai and his reserve army were 20,000, the Great Wall Army was 15,000, and the Guards and their reserve army were 10,000. Zhao Kuo said with a smile.

Cavalry is not just a cavalry with a horse, at most it is an infantry on horseback. In addition to riding and fighting on horseback, a real cavalryman must also be able to ride and shoot.

The most basic requirement of mounted archery is that no matter how bumpy the horse is, the knight must adjust the distance between the butt and the saddle to ensure the stability of the upper body, and only in this way can the arrow shot out be stable.

Just like birds, no matter how much their bodies shake, their heads are motionless.

However, birds are born, and humans need to rely on acquired training to achieve it.

Even with stirrups, saddles, and horse hooves, there are very few soldiers in the world who can do this.

The reason why Zhao Guo has so many elite cavalry is because when there were no cavalry three treasures before, Zhao Guo was vigorously training cavalry, and after the cavalry three treasures came out, after a little training, he became a real cavalry.

"Can't other countries do it?" Zhao Sheng asked.

In his impression, the cavalry of Qin developed earlier than that of Zhao, when Qin Mugong sent his son Chong'er back to Jin, he sent 2,000 cavalry, in addition, other countries also have a small number of cavalry, or rather, infantry on horseback.

Although Zhao Guohu did leave other countries behind after his cavalry shooting, it is difficult to say that other countries do not have hidden power.

"Don't look at Han Wei, Qi and Chu Siguo bought so many horses, it is absolutely impossible to do it without a few years of training. Coupled with the fact that they do not have generals who are good at training cavalry, this time will be extended indefinitely, but even so, the combat effectiveness will surpass that of the infantry. If the Qin State was not hidden, it would not have been. Even if there is a hidden, it will not exceed five thousand. Yan Ju said.

The Qin State is close to Xirong, and the origin of cavalry is indeed relatively early, but it has been standing still, only used as reconnaissance, and has not formed a real combat effectiveness. It was not until later that he studied Zhao Guo and vigorously developed cavalry.

However, the cavalry of the Qin State has been wiped out after the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Sanchuan, and the cavalry of the Battle of Hedong last year were all newly built later.

According to Yan Ju's speculation, the cavalry dispatched by the Qin State in the past few years has reached the upper limit of the entire country, and it is almost impossible to hide.

"If the cavalry of the Xiongnu and Donghu are equipped with stirrups and saddles, there are many cavalry who can do it, but the Xiongnu have been destroyed, and Donghu has also been beaten back by General Li Mu, so it does not pose a threat to us." Yan Ju said.

Nomads have an innate advantage in riding and archery, just like Daijun, Yanmen and other places in the north of Zhao State, many children can ride horses from an early age.

"Donghu!" A light flashed in Zhao Kuo's eyes, Li Mu didn't hide the stirrups, saddles, and iron hooves of the horses when he attacked Donghu!

There are so many people in Donghu, it is impossible that no one will find out, and it is impossible that all of them are fools.

Someone will inevitably speculate on their function, and even if the smelting technology is limited, it is not difficult to get stirrups and saddles out.

"Hundreds of tribes of Donghu are in a mess, and they will not pose a threat to our Zhao Kingdom in a short period of time, so they will free up their hands...... It is necessary to prevent future troubles. Zhao Kuo thought in his heart.

Although the threat of Donghu is not as good as that of the Xiongnu, it is difficult to say that there will be no accidents.

When several people were talking, the fighting on the battlefield was over, the strength of the two teams was similar, and almost everyone was injured in the end, the serious ones had been carried down, and the slightly injured ones came over to salute under the leadership of the general.

The soldiers who had been training in other places also arrived, and all the soldiers recognized Zhao Kuo and looked at him excitedly.

"The wine, meat, money and food have been distributed to everyone, and there is a step forward." Zhao Kuo didn't talk about those imaginary things, if you want to say it, just say the most real.

No one stepped forward, since he ascended the throne, Zhao Kuo has grasped the military power the most, and other things can be handed over to others, but the military power must be firmly grasped in his hands.

Nothing can be missing, but the soldiers' salaries and rewards.

If he made other mistakes, Zhao Kuo could forgive them, and if anyone dared to embezzle a point, they would either be beheaded or their entire family beheaded.

Don't say that your family is innocent, if because of your corruption that led to the defeat of the entire war, it was thousands of Zhao people who died, aren't they and their families innocent?

"The widow asks again, but someone has been rewarded and his salary has been deducted?" Zhao Kuo said loudly.

There was still no one stepping forward, and Zhao Kuo finally smiled when he saw this scene.

Zhao Guo's previous corruption was very serious, the first strict investigation of corruption and rewards, Xunzi successively beheaded one or two thousand people, and the second time he strictly investigated corruption and rewarded hundreds of people.

The heads of the people rolled down, and finally this evil wind was contained.

"Your Majesty, there is no deduction in the rewards and salaries, and the last general wants to ask, is the twentieth rank military merit and retirement system announced a few days ago true?" Li Qian said loudly.

"It's all true, as long as you make the corresponding merits, you can get the corresponding rewards, up to one county as a fief, and ...... It can be passed down from generation to generation. Zhao Kuo said.

"Roar!" The soldiers of the entire barracks shouted excitedly.
