Chapter XXIV

"Dismount!"

Scarface floated to the ground on horseback, the cavalry saddled and kicked their legs, the ranks sounded neatly stomping on the ground, and the cadets stood straight with their horses in their hands and bows in one hand.

"Cavalry is an infantry nemesis. With the help of fast movement, the cavalry was able to quickly surround the infantry, harass them with bows and arrows, and shoot them. A thousand well-trained cavalrymen, with the help of the tactics of encirclement, attack, and cavalry shooting, can completely drag the infantry 10,000 people to their exhaustion and finally destroy them, and the casualties of the cavalry are negligible compared with the results of the battle. ”

One thousand annihilates ten thousand, there are examples of war in military history, and when I heard it again from Scarface's mouth, the students were still flushed and excited: We are cavalry!

"Cavalry charging in formation is a nightmare for infantry. With the power of the horse's impact, the cavalry only needs to aim their swords at the enemy, and they will surely reap their lives. At the moment of breaking through the formation, in the face of the condescending cavalry sabers, the will to fight of the vast majority of infantry will collapse instantly, and the collapsed formation makes them wait for killing like stakes, which becomes the combat exploits of the cavalry to be promoted and rich. ”

"Don't expect a crossbow to stop a cavalry charge, from the time the charge is launched to the time the formation is broken, the crossbowman shoots a maximum of five rounds of arrows, and he can't kill many cavalrymen. Don't forget, when the heavy cavalry men and horses charge in armor, there are also light cavalry galloping and shooting around. ”

Scarface never hides his love and worship for cavalry, when explaining tactics, Scar on his face jumps and jumps, his eyes are shining, and his body exudes a compelling momentum, which is murderous, this guy doesn't know how many times he has charged, how many people he has killed, and the soldiers are in awe of the soldiers.

After the tactical training, Scarface was still reminiscing about the former Jin Ge Iron Horse, and it took a long time to stroke the war horse beside him to calm down and return to his usual cold and sarcastic tone.

"Charging like lightning, galloping like a gale, attacking like a rock, elite iron horsemen, iron horsemen who can unite men and horses, are ruthless killers on the battlefield. And you, can you achieve the unity of men and horses, can you make the war horse a part of your life, and let him move as agile as a finger? Therefore, do not tarnish the noble title of cavalry, you are just a group of infantry who can ride horses. If it doesn't sound good, if you are not convinced, then train, train, train again!"

Scarface roared and turned over on his horse, and gave the next round of training tasks before leaving: "It's difficult to be a qualified cavalryman, but the cavalry's attack is very simple, charge and horse shooting." In the future, I will not follow you closely, and after March, I will start the actual combat assessment, and use my military merits to determine the military position. Disband!"

"Standard battalion students, unparalleled martial arts!"

The cadets led the horses to the stables and sent off the demon coach, but everyone was at a loss, what should they do in the future: what will be the training content? Who will command? Several sentry commanders gradually came together.

"Su Rui, you are a sentry commander, tell me what to do?"

Su Rui, the head of a sentry, a tall and wide-mouthed young man, glared at Liu Zihui when he heard the sound, and led the horse to walk forward silently, Liu Zihui pouted and looked at Excellence: "If you want to regain the title of a sentry, you have to show some skills." ”

"Liu Zihui, don't fan the flames, we will regain the title, and we will also challenge it openly. Liu Xinjie grabbed the white, causing Su Rui to stop and glare angrily, Liu Zihui stretched his voice and sneered: "You interjected before the excellent sentry commander spoke, you want to rob the sentry chief, hehe." ”

Who doesn't want to get ahead, who doesn't want to be admired, who doesn't want to be in a high position, a fifteen-year-old young man is the moment when the heroic dream in his heart takes off. The standard battalion is a group of elites selected from various cities, and the cavalry team is the best among the elites. As you grow older, you can use games to determine the sentry commander, and the sentry commander who will kill himself if he makes a mistake on the battlefield, that kind of innocence has long been buried in the deep blue water of Happy Lake with blood light.

Knowing that Liu Zihui had bad intentions, a trace of unhappiness flashed in Zhuo Zhuo's heart, and he was dissatisfied with Liu Xinjie's intervention, and the shy teenager in the past also became sharp: "We are the third whistle, even if we want to challenge, we will start with you." ”

"Welcome, hehe, but let's talk about this March training first. "In the selection of troops, there are three sentinels and five people, and the strength of three people ranks in the top five of the new first patrol, Liu Zihui is barely ranked fifth, knowing that he is by no means an opponent, and he will turn back to the topic when he lies in his heart.

"Gao Yuan, what do you think?" Mei Ying moved horizontally to the right side of the war horse, walking side by side with Gao Yuan, and the tight-fitting riding clothes set off the figure more and more concave. The fiery eyes around him, in the low laughter of the female sentinel soldiers, stared at Gao Yuan, which was no longer simply the envy of his youth.

Deliberately, she definitely deliberately caused trouble for me! If possible, Gao Yuan really wanted to kick Mei Ying away, but unfortunately, whenever she was beside her, there was always a strange aura circulating in her body, and she wished that there was no end to the road ahead, and the two of them had been walking together.

"I'm blushing, Gao Yuan is shy again, the sentry commander is so powerful!" a bold female student deliberately exclaimed loudly, the female student soldier chuckled and agreed, and the male student soldier silently resisted. Gao Yuan alleviated the embarrassment by answering questions: "The coach said that we are mounted infantry, so we will practice riding more in March, and there is no need for the coach to follow us every day." ”

Mei Ying's voice was crisp: "I agree!" The fourth sentinel commander Sarau was reluctant to intervene in the dispute, and when he saw her open his mouth, he also expressed his support: "I have mastered the essentials, and all that remains is practice, the instructor introduces the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual, Gao Yuan is right." ”

"I agree, three against two, you two don't have to say much. Su Rui is not easy to mess with, and takes the opportunity to satirize Excellence and Liu Zihui. Both of them looked a little ugly, and the previous verbal battle was out of the topic, and even if they wanted to agree at the moment, it became redundant.

After setting the training plan, everyone became brisk, sent the horses back to the stables, and ran to the barracks to change clothes - the half afternoon of free activity was the most relaxing time of the day.

Tethered to his horse, Takagaki turned to the camp stove, chopping logs and wood, which was the first compulsory lesson for him to move freely. The moon stick knife is a lifetime of guns, which means that knives are easier to practice than guns, but it doesn't mean that knives can't beat guns, everything depends on the person who uses the weapon.

When he received his first firewood knife at the age of six, Takagaki heard another sentence: "The sword is hidden with you." It is said that the sword is more difficult to practice than the gun, but the latter words are the point: "The sword is not separated, the first easy and then the difficult to practice diligently, use the knife to make sword moves, the knife is the sword, more powerful than the sword, more suitable for life and death fighting." The words were said by the blind grandfather, and he only heard it by chance, and after it was transferred to Takagaki, even the gun grandfather quoted it many times, so Takagaki never changed his belief in practicing knives.

The forehand is chopping, the backhand is teasing, the basic action of the knife technique, and the cutting is the evolution of the two. The logs are cut into small pieces one by one, and the firewood knife is like a small embroidery needle in the hand of a skillful girl, and with the wrist flying endlessly, a small wooden board is cut out, and it is sprinkled in front of the firewood room, one by one.

Mounted infantry, both cavalry and infantry, lost their weapons as wolves without fangs and claws, shattered into a heap under my sword. The mood is flying, the wood knife is faster, and the wood chips are thinner, denser and more even. Galloping and charging, all rely on the cavalry formation to fully exert their power, the unity of men and horses, not I practice alone, then I will use long knives and bows and arrows to make up for it, strong martial arts is fundamental. It takes a little more time to practice it.

The last log turned into a piece of wood, and Takagaki turned and walked to the small courtyard where the camp chef was staying.

The small courtyard is remote and few people come, and the back wall is made of mud and sand mixed with gravel and a wall, five feet high and three feet wide, and human patterns are drawn one by one. This is Takagaki chopping firewood for a month, so that the chefs give him a reward and allow him to secretly practice knives in the small courtyard.

Thorn, an action common to almost all weapons, Takagaki practiced for nearly three years. In the past, when I was in the standard camp, I put a big sandbag in the training room and filled it with wet mud and sand to practice, but when I came to the camp, I didn't expect the conditions to be better, and I could finally use a long knife to practice stabbing the wall.

A knife stabbed at the earthen wall, the force rebounded, and the wrist was a little numb, and the long knife only pierced half a foot deep, and the stones in the wall blocked the knife. Drawing the knife, inhaling, and with a low roar, the long knife stabbed again, piercing through the original knife hole.

Pierce the wall, change the position and stab again, the right hand is sore, it is difficult to hold the knife, change to the left hand and stab again. His hands took turns practicing, and his riding clothes were steaming, but Gao Yuan still insisted until the horn sounded for dinner, and then he hid the long knife in a hidden place, and after washing it in the water room of the small courtyard, he changed into the clean riding clothes that had been prepared long ago.

I'm just a hunter's child, not a genius, and the only way to keep them from laughing at me is to train, train, train, and train again, as the coach said. Takagaki doesn't have much ambition, he just wants not to be ridiculed, and he will damage his grandfather's face. When his strength is strong, to explore the truth of the original battle and seek justice for his grandfather may be his highest goal.

After dinner, before the lights go out, it is the most romantic time for the cadets.

The Luofeng Empire was originally open to the people, and there were few restrictions on the interaction between men and women in the standard camp, otherwise there would not have been a senior sister in the small hall to talk about love, but if the bottom line was crossed and the consequences were brought about, the punishment was so severe that it was almost cruel: the child stayed in the boy camp, and the two guarded the border for life, all over the world. Therefore, openness is openness, and few of the cadets dare to cross the thunder pool.

Excited male cadets surrounded the four flower-like girls, and the stars surrounded them like moons, and walked to the small river outside the camp. Most of the people were laughing, trying to please the girls, and there was laughter and laughter by the river. A small number of people left the camp gate and broke away from the team, chose a secluded meadow in the distance, or practiced boxing, or practiced weapons, and seized the time to improve their strength. The difference between excellence and mediocrity is not that everyone studies at the same time, but perhaps it is precisely in the leisure time of studying, and they each choose a different way of resting.

After washing the clothes and checking the harness again, after confirming that there was no problem, Gao Yuan also walked out of the camp gate, and Mei Ying happened to be smiling outside.

"You're late again. Mei Ying was dressed in a riding costume with a bow and arrows, extremely heroic, and her tone was a little dissatisfied, or coquettish. In the past, Takagaki smiled and passed the test, but today the sarcasm of the trainer mounted infantry always echoed in his mind, and a joke blurted out: "If you help me wash my clothes, of course I can come out earlier." ”

Mei Ying was stunned, is this a confession of love, is there such a bastard's first confession? Help you wash your clothes, do you know what the action of washing clothes is before Miss Ben came to the camp! Gao Yuan scratched his head with regret when he said this, and then quickly apologized: "I can also help you wash your clothes." ”

Mei Ying rolled her eyes and turned her head and ran away, the arrow shot by Takagaki that night always lost its accuracy until the bowstring was broken, and none of the arrows hit the bull's-eye. A few years later, the Lingbo Biao Battalion circulated the second famous sentence of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, which made countless male soldiers rejoice: "What are you looking for a wife? ”
