Chapter 5: The Future Hussars (Second Update!)
Kang Tae puts his hand on the cobblestone!
"Let's go, separate a wisp of consciousness!" Sun Wu said.
Wu Qi and Jiang Tai glanced at each other coldly, and they all closed their eyes.
"Buzz!"
Jiang Tai felt himself tremble, and a wisp of consciousness instantly poured into the disk.
When I opened my eyes, I suddenly arrived at a huge valley.
In the valley, there were 100,000 soldiers standing, all with wooden expressions, looking at Jiang Tai.
Not far away, three thousand horses pulled the wagon, and a large amount of grain was piled up on the wagon.
"Come here!" Jiang Tai shouted at a wooden soldier.
The creep came quickly.
"Meet the marshal!" said the soldier respectfully.
"Oh, it's no different from a real person!" Jiang Tai looked at in surprise.
Suddenly, a voice exploded from the sky.
"Three months of training, three months later, open the battlefield!" Sun Wu's voice resounded in all directions.
And everyone in the outside world saw at this moment the center of the deduction plate, two sides blocked by a horizontal line.
On Wu Qi's side, Wu Qi began to train his troops skillfully. Sprinting, fighting, climbing, wading, military formation, everything is in an orderly manner, and the troops are being trained quickly.
On the other hand, on Jiang Tai's side, Jiang Tai is going around blindly.
The little witch, Man Zhong, and Chen all showed anxious expressions.
Sun Wu didn't speak.
About a day later, Jiang Tai had a rough idea of the surroundings, but he began to give orders.
"All-army push-up competition, begin!" Jiang Tai shouted from the high platform.
Follow the method you taught and start asking 100,000 people to do push-ups at the same time.
That strange action made everyone in the outside world look dazed, what is this for?
Another day, Jiang Tai selected the 3,000 people with the best physique! Then he ate and drank, and the next day was over.
On the other side, Wu Qi's army has taken shape!
Time passed quickly on the deduction board, and it was time for the third day.
Jiang Tai asked the 3,000 men to dismantle the rope that pulled the carriage and released the 3,000 horses.
"What is Jiang Tai going to do? Aren't horses used to pull grain? Without horses, logistics and food can't keep up, this war can't be fought!" Chen Liu's face said anxiously.
But Sun Wu showed a hint of curiosity.
"Three thousand people, from now on, start practicing horse riding and horse fighting!" Jiang Tai commanded.
"Yes!"
"Boom!"
Three thousand people began to learn to ride horses and learn to fight horses.
"The rest of the people, divided into 10,000 people, are responsible for logistics, cooking and supplying food every day, and manpower replaces horse-drawn carts in wartime. 7,000 people prepared sentinels to practice climbing mountains and wading through rivers and concealing their bodies. The other 80,000 people will stand in a military posture in the morning and practice starting and walking in the afternoon!" Jiang Tai commanded.
Jiang Tai's large-scale military training is the beginning.
And the posture of training the troops made the outside world, including Sun Wu, frown.
For a while, I saw that the 80,000 men stood there very neatly, like wooden stakes, and the first battle was a morning. In the afternoon, these 80,000 people did not practice anything else, but practiced walking neatly.
Is there a fart for standing? There is a fart for walking? Everyone looked at Jiang Tai in amazement.
The other 3,000 people, riding fast horses, kept going around and around, running around the mountains and forests, and many people were not used to it at first, but, gradually, they all got used to riding. And the weapons in his hands can be gradually used.
Each person has a spear, and when they wield it, they are extremely combative.
"Is this military training?" Chen Jiu said blankly.
On the other hand, Wu Qi's military training, a set of military formations, has become more and more imposing.
Sun Wu may have seen enough of Wu Qi's training, or he may be curious about Jiang Tai, and he is staring at Jiang Tai's training with a surprised expression at the moment.
"Cavalry? No chariots, is it useful? However, without heavy armor, it is indeed much more flexible. Sun Wu frowned.
Three months passed in a flash. Soon it will be there.
"The March deadline has arrived, and the war has begun!" Sun Wu's voice resounded through the heavens and the earth again.
Jiang Tai rode on the big horse and looked up at the sky.
"Has it begun? Sentinels, scattered in all directions, probe the situation in all directions, find the enemy, and report quickly!" Jiang Tai commanded.
"Yes!"
Seven thousand sentinels quickly dispersed out of the city.
The other side.
Wu Qi also twisted his head and said, "Eight hundred sentinels, go!"
"Yes!"
In terms of sentinels, Jiang Tai is several times that of the other party.
The armies of both sides are advancing towards the central battlefield.
Jiang Tai took the lead, with 3,000 cavalry and half a month's rations, and entered the front line first.
Wu Qi walked unhurriedly in the rear, sending 5,000 troops first, as the vanguard, and moving forward quickly.
Outside.
Everyone looked at the battlefield and frowned one by one.
"Then Jiang Tai, will there be a war, the commander sits in the Chinese army, just in case of accidents, if he Jiang Tai is killed early, won't it be over soon?" everyone whispered.
Under normal circumstances, the commander should stay in the safest place to command the Quadripartite War, especially if there are mortal bodies in front of him. If you're not careful, it's over.
"Wu Qi is extremely cautious in the use of troops, and 5,000 are the vanguard, first, to frustrate the enemy's spirit, and second, to test the enemy's reality. Chen Yi frowned.
The little witch's eyes were full of worry.
Three thousand cavalry, five thousand infantry, and one hundred carts of food rested in the center of the battlefield, and a few days later, news came from their respective sentinels.
"Marshal Qiyu, ten miles away in the north, I found that there are as many as 5,000 enemy troops!"
"Report to the general, ten miles to the south, there are local military horses, there are three thousand military horses!"
"Oh?"
Jiang Tai and the other party's junior general were both eye-catching.
"Go, annihilate the enemy!" shouted excitedly on both sides.
"Boom!"
The armies approached each other, getting closer and closer, and gradually saw each other.
When the enemy general saw that the other side had only 3,000 men and that he had 5,000 men, he immediately became full of fighting spirits.
And Jiang Tai's nearly 3,000 subordinates were originally a little worried, but seeing Jiang Tai taking the lead, they suddenly stopped worrying.
"Kill!" "Kill!" ............
The battle between the two armies began.
Outside, everyone's eyes widened.
"Boom!"
I saw that in the battlefield, the 3,000 cavalry, like a giant beast, pushed 5,000 infantry sideways, and the number was 2,000 different, but in terms of strength, it was not a grade at all.
Between the horses, one infantry after another was quickly trampled to death.
Although some of the cavalry were wounded, it was not at all a problem compared to the wounds of the infantry.
"Boom!"
An initial battle, which ended quickly.
"Great!"
The little witch shouted excitedly.
But it was the cavalry that crushed the infantry, and at most fifty cavalrymen died, and fifty horses died, but five thousand infantry were killed. It was like death descending, leaving the infantry powerless.
"The cavalry regiment and the light cavalry are in close combat, and they have such a miraculous effect?" Sun Wu's eyes lit up.
Kang Tae was also injured and had an arrow wound on his arm. However, Jiang Tai was very happy, at least, this battle boosted the morale of the soldiers, and the one-sided crushing could make the soldiers more afraid of death.
Jiang Tai also wanted to hide in the rear and command, but his own tactics did not allow that.
Quickly wiped the wound.
Count the losses.
"Marshal, our army has lost fifty horses, but one hundred enemy horses have been captured!" a young general ran excitedly.
"Well, yes, inform the rear, the people of the reserves, get on the captured horses, follow us, and practice slowly!" Jiang Tai said.
"Yes!"
After winning the first battle and quickly regrouping, Jiang Tai's cavalry increased by fifty horses, instead of decreasing.
On the other side, Wu Qi heard the news of the sentry, but a solemnity flashed in his eyes.
"Dashuai, 5,000 soldiers are all wiped out, this, this, what should I do?" said a soldier anxiously.
Wu Qi smiled coldly and said: "It's just 5,000 soldiers, and sooner or later they will die, but because of this battle, I know the weakness of the other party, what are these 5,000 soldiers? Because of them, we can kill 100,000 soldiers of the other party!"
"Yes!" said the soldier bitterly.
"Cavalry? There are only 3,000 horses, and it is easy to deal with 5,000 people, but what about 30,000 people to the death? Come again, let you have no return, General Zuo, you take 30,000 soldiers as the center, advance towards the enemy army, attract the enemy army, and strive to annihilate these 3,000 cavalry! Remember, 30,000 soldiers cannot be dispersed. Otherwise, it is easy to be divided and attacked by them. Wu Qi said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
In the second group, 30,000 troops marched towards the central battlefield.
In the outside world, Sun Wu raised his eyebrows suddenly.
"No, Jiang Tai's army participating in the battle is only 3,000 people, and he wants to use only 3,000 people to fight against 100,000 soldiers?" Sun Wu said in surprise.
Here is just the use of the arrangement, there is no other conspiracy, there is no other external force to borrow, only compare the commander's ability to lead the troops.
But Jiang Tai only used 3,000 people to fight against 100,000 people, isn't it too risky?
Sun Wu showed a hint of curiosity.
And the second war also began.
This time, Jiang Tai did not take the lead, and he had the morale of the first battle, and Jiang Tai could command to a certain extent.
"Is there 30,000 enemy troops?" Jiang Tai's eyes flashed with a gleam.
"What are we going to do next?" asked a young general.
"Divide and strike!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
"How?"
"Wu Qi didn't come, they shouldn't have that wisdom, so we must fight quickly, our tactics, we use guerrilla warfare, and destroy the other party as soon as possible!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
"What is guerrilla warfare?"
"When the enemy advances, I retreat, when the enemy retreats, I chase, when the enemy is stationed, I disturb, and when the enemy is tired, I fight!" Jiang Tai said in a deep voice.
"Oh?"
"They don't have cavalry, they don't have as fast as us, we don't have to fight to the death, we just make them uneasy, from now on, a group of two hundred, take turns harassing them, and leave with one blow, until they are exhausted, and when they are separated to pursue us, we will gather again and annihilate them!" Jiang Tai commanded.
"Yes!"
At the beginning of guerrilla warfare, hooligan tactics were really common in ancient and modern times, and for a time, the enemy army became desperate to die, and as soon as they were about to eat, there were enemy troops who came to disturb them, and they were just about to meet the battle, and they all ran away, and they were just about to sleep, and the enemy army came again, and as soon as they got up, they ran again.
After a few days, the army of 30,000 was exhausted for a while.
"Kill!"
Two hundred cavalry harassed again.
A general finally couldn't help it: "Bastards, don't run!"
Immediately led 5,000 soldiers and killed him.
The two hundred cavalry deliberately slowed down, waiting for the five thousand soldiers to pursue and kill.
Until they were far away, 3,000 cavalry suddenly swarmed up and frantically crushed away at the enemy army who had not slept much for several days and nights and had not eaten well.
"Ahh
Soon, another 5,000 soldiers were annihilated.
The old tricks were repeated, and the guerrilla hooligan tactics were vividly played by Jiang Tai for a while.
Everyone in the outside world was at a loss, but Sun Wu looked at the cavalry with bright eyes.
The superiority of the light cavalry was thoroughly demonstrated. In war, there is such a miraculous effect?
"Guerrilla warfare, good guerrilla warfare!" Sun Wu nodded.
But for the battle situation, Sun Wu is not very optimistic about Jiang Tai, after all, the war has just begun, Wu Qi is a master of the art of war, and he should soon be able to understand the subtleties of the Lu Dao cavalry. There will certainly be a way to restrain the cavalry.
"Unless you have other means, otherwise, three thousand cavalry, it will be difficult to make a climate!" Sun Wu looked at the battlefield solemnly.
PS: In the war before the Spring and Autumn Period, horses were generally based on chariots, and the formation of the cavalry regiment began during the Warring States Period, after King Zhao Wuling's 'Hufu Cavalry Shooting', so Jiang Tai's cavalry regiment was considered a product beyond the times.
