Chapter 689 Modernized Cavalry

The feudal officials and generals present were all a little worried that Li Guoying would refute Sun Chuanting's face.

How can the core secrets of an army be easily displayed to others.

Li Guoying didn't hesitate, and said, "Of course, you can come with me." ”

Everyone couldn't wait to follow Li Guoying and go to the depths of the barracks together.

As soon as I passed the camp gate, I heard the sound of boiling horses' hooves.

The sound of the farrier trampling the ground is uniform.

Cavalry practicing collective charge.

In fast movement, keep the horse next to the horse, shoulder to shoulder, like a fast-moving iron wall.

This hand is already something that many classical cavalry can't do.

The more powerful doorway is still to come.

Cavalry generally began to charge in groups after a hundred paces from the enemy.

After three rounds of charges, the horses had to rest for several days.

But the cavalry charged five hundred paces at once.

Charging back again, another five hundred steps.

In the end, the third charge was still five hundred steps.

That is, three charges in a row, which add up to one and a half thousand steps.

Although there is still a big gap with the top Prussian cavalry in history.

However, at that time, it was already a top-notch existence.

"How many horses do you have?"

Everyone was still in the shock of the cavalry charge, and Sun Chuanting had already asked.

"Each man had four horses, one to ride, two to fight, and one to carry supplies."

Li Guoying replied.

Everyone gasped.

Two thousand soldiers, almost eight thousand horses.

And that's not counting the auxiliaries.

There are so many horses in one cavalry regiment!

"What else did you bring besides the horses?"

Sun Chuanting has been completely fascinated and forgotten his identity, which is lower than Yang Sichang and Hong Chengchou.

Thankfully, they didn't care.

Hong Chengchou was also curious.

Li Guoying said: "A few people, please come with me." ”

With that, he led the way.

The crowd came to the direct fire company of the cavalry regiment.

Twenty-seven Shenwei general cannons appeared in front of everyone.

These long-barreled cannons, placed on wooden shelves, were cast from iron.

Soldiers of the fire company, maintaining artillery.

Li Guoying explained: "Because gunpowder is easy to form residue, it is easy to corrode and rust if it remains in the barrel for a long time, so it needs to be maintained regularly. ”

"It's incredible." Sun Chuanting shook his head.

It is said that the Liaodong army has a solid family background, and now I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is indeed the case.

The general soldiers didn't care.

Anyway, they don't worry about this kind of thing, let those civil officials worry about it.

It's just that there is some envy and jealousy for such good weapons and equipment and soldiers.

Among them, Ma Shilong's face was the most ugly.

He was also from the Guanning Army, and he knew some of the soldiers here.

I haven't seen it for a while, and it's changed a lot.

At this time, the sound of "bell-bell-......" suddenly sounded.

"It's almost dinner time." Li Guoying explained, "It is customary in the army to have a singing session before eating. ”

"Lago?" Hong Chengchou was a little puzzled.

"Oh, it's a competition song."

Everyone's eyes widened.

It's not something that a drama does.

Just as he was in doubt, a series of shouts rang out.

"All assembled."

After the sound of neat footsteps of "stamping on the ......", the soldiers stood in several rows.

"Stand upright, look to the right, look forward, take a breath, and report the number!" The company commander shouted.

"One, two, three, four......"

"All here, let's go."

The soldiers left in unison and headed for the makeshift canteen.

Li Guoying was on the side, leading everyone to the door of the canteen.

I saw many soldiers sitting cross-legged on the ground, their backs straight.

"One from the second battalion and three companies!"

"Angry hair rushes to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar......"

When everyone listened to the song, they all knew that it was Yue Fei's Man Jianghong.

The singing is generous and passionate, which makes people burst out.

The second and third in return is a song that they have never heard before.

"Su Wuliu Hu Festival is not disgraced, the north wind rises in a blink of an eye, and the geese fly in the Han Pass. White-haired lady, looking forward to her son's return, red makeup guards the air......"

This piece is very tactful, but it represents more of a certain perseverance.

Especially when they heard that "the final Xiongnu were shocked to serve Handway", many civil officials were a little emotional.

The generals still looked cold.

Sun Chuanting listened to it and asked Li Guoying: "What song is this?" ”

"Su Wu shepherded sheep, and he was taught to sing to them." Li Guoying replied briefly.

The crowd waited for a while, and the soldiers finished singing and began to take their seats.

A large ceramic plate per person with pork and local dishes.

Rice is rice.

There is also a wooden bowl with mutton broth in the bowl.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang smiled awkwardly: "I just provided a place to buy food and vegetables, nothing else is my business." ”

It means that the military expenses have nothing to do with him, they are all paid by the Liaodong Army itself.

Actually, Yang Sichang's flesh hurts.

Shanxi, Xuanfu and Datong can't open the pot themselves.

In order to feed this army, Yang Sichang used his own private property.

There is no way, in order to calm the discussion between the DPRK and China, it has to be so.

"I heard you have some staff, what is that?"

Hong Chengchou gave Yang Sichang the steps in time.

"It is equivalent to a military division, mainly for intelligence gathering."

Li Guoying replied.

"Can we go and have a look?" Hong Chengchou then asked.

"Yes, but please don't get angry."

Li Guoying hesitated, but agreed.

Hong Chengchou immediately realized that there was something wrong here.

When he arrived at the regimental staff, his face was dark.

I saw a map hanging in the innermost part of the tent, which clearly marked the location of the Ming army's troops.

Not only that, but there were also the places where the sentry cavalry of the peasant army was infested.

The staff headquarters all went to eat, leaving only the overseer Zhou Yuji to stay behind.

Seeing Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang and other court officials, Zhou Yuji got up to greet him.

"The peasant army is already haunting Liujiashan!"

Compared with these things, Hong Chengchou was more worried about the situation of the peasant army.

"Our army's sentinels have fought briefly with the peasant army, and the two sides have fought evenly."

Zhou Yuji replied.

"What? With your strength, you can fight an equal! Hong Chengchou was taken aback.

"Our army did not capture a single peasant army sentry, and the same was true of the peasant army."

Zhou Yuji said: "In this way, it is indeed evenly divided. ”

The tone was so bland.

Hong Chengchou knew that this matter was definitely not simple, but he didn't dig deeper.

He took a long breath and said to Li Guoying: "I think you can be the main force of our army's cavalry, attack from the northwest road, and crush the cavalry of the thief army in one fell swoop." ”

"As long as the Governor needs it, it is incumbent upon our army." Li Guoying did not refuse.

But when he said this, he looked at Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang laughed and said, "Don't worry, what I promised will not change." ”

"So it was decided." Li Guoying nodded.

Yang Sichang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, what kind of person is he really and what kind of soldiers he brings out. It's all about doing business to the extreme.
