Wang Hongyu has spent half of the past few days tossing and turning on horseback, fighting and fighting, riding a horse assault, charging on a wall, shooting muskets, and even practicing sleeping in the bumps of horseback riding......

In the other half of the time, he led his 1,000 soldiers and horses to practice spear phalanx anti-cavalry, trap antler anti-cavalry, use terrain anti-cavalry, and use cavalry to counter-cavalry.

Half of the training subjects were developed by Wang Hongyu, and most of them were the crystallization of military training in various historical periods in later generations.

Coupled with the guidance of the friendly army's nine-sided elite cavalry, everyone became more and more familiar with the tactics of cavalry, and the anti-cavalry tactics became more and more mature.

Zhou Dunji has been in Jiliao for nearly three years, and the original Sichuan army infantry training experts have become more and more sophisticated in cavalry training.

But so much training involving cavalry could not be done without the assistance of friendly troops, so this month, relying on Zhou Dunji's relationship, he invited Zhao Shujiao, a general of the Liao staff to help from three sides, to train together.

And because of the previous influence of Wang Hongyu and the entire Southern Army, he brought in You Shilu, a staff general who assisted in Shenyang.

The Sichuan soldiers and the two northern armies trained intensively, and the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers also sent people to observe in addition to other tasks, and several soldiers and horses have been greatly improved.

Early this morning, Wang Hongyu followed Zhou Dunji to the school field and found that Zhao Shujiao's soldiers and horses were cleaning up the camp, while You Shiwei's soldiers and horses had finished packing up and were preparing to leave.

"It's ......"

"Yuan Jingluo and He Zongbing adjusted their defenses, and both of them were transferred from Shenyang to Liaoyang. In addition, Zu Dashou of Liaodong was also transferred back. ”

Wang Hongyu thought that this was Yuan Yingtai delegating power to He Shixian and transferring the non-He descendants in the Shenyang area.

Especially You Shilu, he is the younger brother of You Shigong, the deputy chief soldier of Shenyang, if they are all here, then He Shixian has to weigh what the You brothers think about everything.

Zhao Shujiao is not a descendant, and Zu Dashou was also transferred, in order to avoid this move being too ostentatious.

You Shilu rushed to the school and said goodbye to Zhou Dunji and Wang Hongyu. From Shanhaiguan to Liaodong together, they jointly defeated Amin with the blue flag, and the two armies have long trusted each other.

He didn't say much about it, and after commanding the soldiers and horses to leave, he went to the camp of the Southern Army to hand over some defense affairs with Chen Ce, Zhou Dunji, Qi Jin, etc.

After Zhao led the soldiers and horses to pack up the camp tent, he also rushed to the school field in person and said to the two: "In the past month, the morale of our army has been high, completely reversing the declining morale of Jizhen after Salhu, and using your training methods to improve combat effectiveness, thank you again to General Zhou and President Wang Qian!"

Zhou Dunji said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, why thank you, you and I are both from Wujinshi, and we are responsible for training and rectifying the soldiers and horses in Jizhen together, and now that we have achieved results, we have learned a lot from each other."

Wang Hongyu also thanked Zhao Shujiao for his guidance on cavalry combat and defense cavalry during this time.

The military order was very urgent, and Zhao Shujiao didn't want to stay long, so he suddenly thought of one thing before leaving.

"By the way, I think the training methods of the Southern Army are very effective, and they deserve to be the strongest infantry in the Ming Dynasty. But ......"

Zhou Dunji's heart was awe-struck, and he motioned for his friend to continue.

"However, the Southern Army only has more than 1,000 war horses, most of which are used by scouts...... That is to say, there are more than 10,000 Southern troops, and there are almost no cavalry. ”

"Indeed, this is the biggest weakness of my Southern Army at the moment."

Many people know about this matter that Zhao Shujiao said, but he specifically said it because he had a good idea:

"The infantry under my command is weak, but there are many cavalry and horses. Why don't I exchange 100 cavalry and 500 war horses for 100 elite infantry from you, I will help you with cavalry, and I will also rely on you to improve the strength of my infantry. ”

"Oh?" Zhou Dunji's eyes lit up, this was a good proposal for mutual benefit, but he felt that Zhao Shujiao had lost money: "With so many war horses, I need to produce more infantry."

"We don't distinguish between cavalry and infantry, we are all soldiers of my Ming Dynasty, no matter how important the war horse is, it can't be the same as the soldiers, so 100 people for 100 people, the number of people must be the same."

This is very good, and Zhou Dunji is not allowed to refuse again, so according to Zhao Shujiao's proposal, 100 cavalry were exchanged for 100 infantry, and another 500 war horses were sent.

The soldiers exchanged by the two sides were promoted to one level when they arrived at the other party, and they would not go back until they broke the slaves.

Zhou Dunji and Zhao Shujiao were both generals, so they were transferred from their respective commands, among which Wang Hongyu's training method was the most novel and effective, and 50 people were transferred from him.

Correspondingly, he was also supplemented with 50 Jizhen cavalry and 250 war horses, which could be expanded to form a special sentry heavy armored cavalry.

"Big brother, didn't you just say that the special training of cavalry and anti-cavalry is only half practiced? What's the remaining half? ”

Zhou Dunji thought for a moment and said: "The remaining half of the special training is archery and anti-arrow. These are common situations in the military, but they are your weaknesses. ”

Indeed, archery cannot be considered a talent without a few years of training, and it is impossible to become a master without more than ten years of kung fu.

Although Wang Hongyu has training in archery, he is still far from the veterans in the army. Mounted archery is even weaker in horseback combat, and it is basically impossible to shoot moving targets in galloping.

But he knows muskets~

The Zhejiang soldiers' bird guns and all kinds of Franc machines, thunderbolt guns, and the self-generated handcuffs that Xu Guangqi gave him were all proficient.

There's not a lot of tricks to this thing, it's just practice.

Previously, Huang Kezhang and Xu Guangqi raised a very abundant amount of gunpowder for the Southern Army, and the Southern Army did various training in combination with terrain, wind direction, formation, fixed targets, and moving targets.

Wang Hongyu also used his basic knowledge of shooting, ballistics, and mathematics in later generations to introduce the principle of shooting advance to the soldiers, and also roughly calculated the flight speed of different firearms and ammunition.

In this way, everyone knows different guns, how to aim in advance, and what adjustments to make if there is a wind direction.

Zhou Dunji saw all this in his eyes and did a lot of support behind him, but now he wants to give Wang Hongyu more strict special training to improve his archery and anti-arrow ability.

"Jiannu is the best at archery, his armor-piercing heavy arrows are extremely powerful, and he shoots at twenty steps in close range to shoot people in the face, and the third brother may not be able to deal with it well now."

In this battle of Shenyang North, when Wang Hongyu fought against Jiannu's very strong Niu Lu Ezhen, he rolled on the ground at a critical moment to avoid the enemy's arrows.

"Thinking about that time?" Zhou Dunji's tone was quite serious: "Do you remember what posture you were at that time?"

"It's crouching under the gun, and you can roll directly on the ground."

"That's right, the enemy's vision and arrows are disturbed by the barrel of the Rulin gun, and you are still crouching in it, it is not easy to be aimed, and you can immediately roll on the ground. But what if it's standing? Can you still dodge a bow and arrow within 30 paces?! ”

"If you're standing, I'm afraid it's going to be a lot harder to dodge......"

Wang Hongyu was vigilant in his heart, and it seemed that he was in a very dangerous position at that time.
