"How's the new tactics going?"

"Commander, you are still not skilled enough, your new tactics are not tacit enough between many companies, either the light cavalry retreats early, or the heavy cavalry rushes late, and it is even more outrageous that one retreats and one rushes, and they all collide together, but fortunately, there are only injuries."

"Just ask if you and Liu Renliang can still do it? I can't let others do it, I've been practicing for more than a month, and I'm still like this bird, I'll give you a month at most, if it's still like this, you and Liu Renliang will go to raise pigs together. ”

After Li Yong finished speaking, he slammed the door and walked out, leaving a room of officers scratching his head, in fact, Li Yong patted his head and came up with a new tactic that was to use the flexible maneuver of the light cavalry to harass the opponent, and attack the enemy who caught up with him with a retreat while retreating, so that the opponent was tired of pursuit, and when the opponent consumed a lot of physical strength, the heavy cavalry took over the light cavalry to attack head-on, and the light cavalry was outflanked on both sides. Because the speed between light and heavy cavalry is difficult to estimate, often not early or late, practiced for more than a month did not practice, so it happened, Li Yong was very toothache, he felt that there was no problem with the tactics he invented, it was these people who did not understand the essentials, in fact, Li Yong's tactics were indeed feasible, but the generals of this era did not have specific professional military studies, even if those famous generals and commanders were family heirlooms, or brought out by others, they could only accumulate experience a little bit. Xue Rengui took over the chairmanship of the meeting and began to discuss the issue of cooperation with each other.

"It's all been fought, the commander's orders are carried out in an orderly manner, he also said, allow us to modify his original tactics, put the deficiencies to reasonable, and derive more tactics, we can no longer fight bandits and Tuyuhun Those old-fashioned tactics to fight the Turks, we must strategically despise the enemy, tactically destroy the enemy, we are not invincible in the world, our equipment and weapons are defective, blunt weapons against our Xishan armor is the most lethal weapon, when the enemy finds our weakness, When I use twice or even ten times as many troops against us as we do, will I have more than 3,000 men enough to stuff people's teeth? So I have to face it squarely, and only in this way will we come back alive with more people when we attack the Turks. ”

Xue Rengui's words deeply touched the deepest hearts of everyone present, they are all officers who have studied night school military majors in the barracks, they are not soldiers who only know how to charge, they want to keep the soldiers under them alive after every battle, yes, the weapons and equipment of the Xishan Army do surpass this era, but they are not invincible.

"Lao Xue, don't say anything, let's start practicing today, if you don't practice to be ugly, you will give me the head of the heavy cavalry regiment."

"Me too, there are no bear soldiers in a regiment."

"Come on, our second regiment is the main force, and there are no tactics that we can't practice, so you can see it."

"First and second regiment commanders, you really look down on our third regiment? Let me tell you, whether it is the mule or the horse that comes out and sees. ”

"Very good, I like your attitude very much, but the ugly words are ahead, which of you is dragging your feet, and there are hundreds of pigs waiting for you to raise on the logistics side."

The angry voices of those officers kept coming from the Xishan barracks, but every soldier was like a chicken blood, failed, and came again, failed again? Then go on, and the failures again and again slowly achieve all kinds of strange tactics of the black army. In addition to the tactical training of the army, the research institute's armaments are also carried out day and night, although there is still no progress in the research of muskets and artillery, the problem still appears in the materials, although countless material reinforcements have been tried, but it is still impossible to avoid exploding, and then copper can be used, but the copper mine is controlled by Li Er and the imperial court, because what, because copper can be minted, let Li Yong use copper coins to melt to cast cannons? Unless his brain is in water, not to mention whether he has so much money, even if he does, how much does a copper cannon cost? As soon as the cannon sounded, there were 10,000 taels of gold, and Li Yong couldn't afford to play. Now the research of gunpowder is going well, under the continuous improvement of the gunpowder formula provided by Li Yong, the purity of black powder can no longer be refined, and he has begun to study granular gunpowder, although what explosives and grenades can be made, but without the cover of muskets and artillery, use these? That's a proper death, plus the development of several explosives package grenades are not good, if not can not be exploded, or the power is not a little more powerful than the artillery, the most outrageous is too powerful, almost did not send away a few on-site experimental studies, so the thermal weapons are not used in the expedition to the Turks, so we can only focus on cold weapons, horse lance and black knife in Li Yong's suggestion to increase the blood groove, after experiments found that the weapon with a blood groove, more penetrating, more terrifying, from the live pig when the experiment found, If it is pierced on a person, with the medical conditions of this era, there is only one death, and the other is more labor-saving when it is pulled out from the body, instead of being stabbed into it like the previous weapon and it is laborious to pull out, if it is pierced too deep or pierced to the bone, it will be killed by the other party before it can be pulled out by the hand, and the user can not only save physical strength and time. The research of the Xishan helmet has been stopped by Li Yong, because he believes that with the production of thermal weapons, the armor will lose its effect, not to mention that the existing Xishan armor has no room for further improvement, so there is no need to invest in further research. Li Yong is secretly making war preparations and tactical adjustments for the Turkic expedition, and his father-in-law is not idle, tomorrow the spring attack on the Turks has unified his thoughts, and he will order the generals now, but there is no difference between the handsome candidate in everyone's minds and history, that is, the god of war Li Jing, as for whether the other future will be the same as Li Yong's knowledge, it is unknown for the time being, even if Li Yong knows that he doesn't care, his black army still belongs to no one, because no one knows whether this black army will appear on the Turkic battlefield and belong to that side, Of course, except for Li Lizhen in the palace and Li Xueyan in the Hejian County Palace, Chang'an and Xishan Valley are shrouded in the clouds of war, so the people don't want to fight, but this national war related to the fate of the Tang Dynasty cannot but be fought.

"Have the soldiers from each province arrived?"

"Have you started preparing for the armory baggage of the guard?"

"The discipline of the soldiers should be strengthened."

Li Jing accompanied Li Er to inspect the various guards, those accompanying generals, the household department, the military department Shangshu constantly recorded the questions raised by Li Er, at this time, whoever dared to blow up, Li Er dared to clean up whom, when the state machine was in full swing, all that was stopped was only the crushed bones. The advent of the war made Princess Changle in the deep palace feel uneasy, she had a serious premonition that her lover would definitely go back, last time I didn't know that he helped her fight Gu Hun, and then I couldn't help but feel afraid, no woman likes to see her man go to war, the so-called sword and gun have no eyes, maybe she won't be able to come back that day. The war is getting closer and closer, the Xishan Army has developed more tactics under the tactics proposed by Li Yong, and military materials are also piled up in the logistics warehouse, Li Yong has been busy for several months, and finally saw the results, and the news that he is going to go on the expedition is also known by Li Lizhen and Li Xueyan, Chunlan and Xiaoxue are not idiots, so it can be seen that Li Yong is preparing for the expedition, and he passed the news to his two masters early, for Li Yong's expedition, the two women only forcibly endure the anxiety in their hearts, because they are afraid of being known by others, In particular, Emperor Li Er knew that the black army was Li Yong's army.
