Chapter Fifty-Eight: A New Cavalry Formation
Princess Jin Zhi has already lived in Lu Shao's house, and it is not as bad as Pang He originally thought, which makes Pang He very happy, although he can't understand that Princess Jin Zhi will change so much, but it is a good thing after all, maybe a woman's heart, the needle under the sea, is too lazy to think about what is going on.
Then one morning, the golden gunner Xu Ning came to Lu Shao's house to inquire about Lin Chong, Pang He went out to greet Xu Ning, and asked how he found here, only to know that it was his senior brother Lin Chong who got in touch with Xu Ning not long ago and asked Xu Ning to come over. Pang He sighed: "At the beginning, we also left some ways to contact, but now we can't get in touch, fortunately you are here, with your help, I believe that our cavalry will shine." ”
Xu Ning said: "You, you look up to me too much, with your senior brother, it's okay, I, Xu Ning, came here just to help." ”
Pang He smiled: "Brother, it's still the same modesty." I don't know if my brother told you about the situation here. ”
Xu Ning said: "I said that I said something, and I also know that there is only one Fang La now." So, I thought I'd come and have a look. Actually, I've lived here for a while, and I've heard that your brother is here. Originally, I wanted to live like this, but then your senior brother persuaded me that I needed help now, and I came over. ”
Pang He patted Xu Ning on the shoulder, and said while walking with Xu Ning: "Of course we need you, it's great that you can come." ”
As he was talking, Fang Jie saw Pang He and Xu Ning coming over, so he stepped forward and asked, "There are guests again, hook and sickle, it must be Xu Ning, the golden gunner!"
Xu Ning smiled: "Exactly, dare to ask Your Excellency!"
Pang He introduced: "Fang Jie, the number one general under the command of Sect Leader Fang!"
Xu Ning said: "I have heard the name for a long time, I am fortunate to be happy!"
Fang Jie smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare, I don't know if the hero is here to join us?"
Xu Ning smiled: "I don't dislike it, I'm willing to do my best!"
Pang He said: "We are planning to form a new cavalry formation, and with Xu Ning's hook and sickle spear, it should have a very good effect." ”
Fang Jie said: "Cavalry, I understand this, why don't you discuss it with me, I have a lot of ideas!"
Pang He smiled: "Since you are willing, then how about we go to the room together to talk?"
Fang Jie said happily: "Okay, good!"
The three of them walked to the study, and Pang He was the first to speak: "I predict that Huaiyin City will become the first city to be attacked by Song Jiang. Therefore, we must now strengthen our own army building and provide the best and strongest guarantee for Huaiyin City. In the past, the cavalry has always been in charge of my senior brother and Sanniang, although compared to before, the quality of the cavalry has improved a lot, but if you want to resist Song Jiang's army, it is still far from enough. Not only does it need to be strengthened in attack, but it also needs to work defense. The Hook Scythe is a very good way to defend itself, so I'm going to form a Hook Scythe Cavalry Regiment. ”
Fang Jie said: "I know, in fact, I think the most important thing for the cavalry is to attack, and attack with lightning speed. Just like Huo Qu's disease, he mainly attacked and swept up. ”
Pang He reminded: "But you know that the horses in the south of the Yangtze River are not as good as the horses in the north, how can we fight with them in the cavalry? Therefore, our cavalry can only carry out sneak attacks, or use them for defense. ”
Fang Jie disagreed: "If the cavalry is not used as an arrow for attack, then what is the use of the cavalry, it's ridiculous that you actually use it for defense." Tell me, then, what are you going to attack with?"
Pang He said: "Use a bow and crossbow, plus a throwing weapon!"
Xu Ning thought for a while and said, "It's really good to use it to defend the city like this!"
Fang Jie asked, "What, you plan to defend the city?"
Pang He said: "Don't you know the situation in Huaiyin City, we only have tens of thousands of troops, and many of them are old and weak. If you rush into action, the consequences will be unimaginable, you know?"
Fang Jie said: "How can I not understand the situation of Huaiyin City, although there are not many cavalry, but I feel pretty good. It would be nice if it was a little more intensified!"
Pang He asked, "Then do you know what kind of situation Song Jiang's cavalry is?"
Xu Ning said: "What the Pang He brothers said is not wrong, we not only have a serious disadvantage in numbers, but also have a certain gap with them in horses. If we compete with Song Jiang's cavalry to attack, we will definitely suffer. ”
Fang Jie said: "Whoever said it, you let them, no matter who is on the horse to fight with me, no matter what kind of horse, I can beat them down!"
Pang He said: "That is the young general's outstanding martial arts, and I also believe that there is no one in Song Jiang who is your young general's opponent." However, compared to the average person, it is about the same as the average person, and the horse becomes a very important factor at this time. They are not like you, the major general, even if the major general has no horses, he can still defeat Guan Sheng. ”
"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you!" Fang Jie said: "However, the attack must also be strengthened, in case there is an opportunity for a sneak attack, it can also be used." ”
Pang He said: "Well, of course, I'm also thinking about what kind of cavalry formation to set up to deal with Song Jiang. First of all, I think the hook and sickle spearmen are very important, if the way of refining horses is used to strengthen the defense of the formation, and then add the throwing cavalry regiment like the Jinma Chao in the Three Kingdoms era, will it have a good effect? After all, the power of throwing is much greater than the power of a bow and arrow. ”
Xu Ning said: "We all know the power of the chain horse. I think we should also take precautions, because Hu Yanzhuo is still here in Song Jiang. His chain horse is really powerful, and we need to improve it to become our chain horse, and we need to strengthen it a little bit in the early stage. ”
Fang Jie said: "That's not as good as Che Sheng, he is at least more reliable than a horse!"
Pang He agreed: "Well, it is true that Che Sheng should also be added, I don't know if the major general has studied Che Sheng." ”
Fang Jie said: "How do I know this, I only know how to fight." I think Che Sheng is more difficult to fight than horses, so I think Che Sheng is also very important. ”
"That's right, Che Sheng can improve the disadvantages of our horses," Pang He said. What's more, we can make up for the lack of our cavalry and horses. ”
Xu Ning said: "Then should we use Che Sheng first, plus a hook and sickle gun, plus some throwing cavalry?"
Fang Jie said: "No matter what, we have to form a charging cavalry regiment, although we are not as good as Song Jiang in some places, but we can't give up the original advantages of cavalry." ”
Pang He and Xu Ning both felt that there was some truth, so the three of them began to design the formation arrangement of the cavalry, and in a trance, a day passed.
