Da Wei Chun

Chapter 137 Picking Peaches

Zhang Jingzhi and Guo Cunxin stood at the top of the city, looking at the school ground half a mile away.

A group of cavalry fled in front, and a group of cavalry chased after them. With the galloping horseshoes, the turf in the school grounds was flying and the gravel was flying.

Whether they were chasing or fleeing, they kept shooting arrows at each other... around the school grounds, and they kept repeating this action for nearly two quarters.

Guo Cunxin asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

"The team behind is practicing how to chase the enemy. The team in front seems to be practicing how to escape..." Zhang Jingzhi said uncertainly.

"Like?" Guo Cunxin asked in surprise, "Even you don't know?"

"Of course I know how to chase the enemy, but the team in front is a bit hard to say: they are all defeated, and naturally they are all running for their lives. Which soldier has the courage to turn around and shoot the enemy?"

Zhang Jingzhi thought for a while and then said, "In all these years, I have only seen it once: Three years ago, when Lu Gouer, the leader of the Huns who rebelled in Qinzhou, was defeated, his personal guards used this method to stop him from fleeing. Chasing soldiers, but he escaped in the end..."

Some like crap.

Even the Han army, once the main general died in battle, none of the guards would survive, let alone the Huns?
It is estimated that the whole family will have to be buried with him, how could he not work hard?

This method of warfare, if used by the elite or personal soldiers, will naturally be quite effective.But as an ordinary cavalry, it seems useless, right?
I don't know what Li Chengzhi is here to practice?
……

"Of course it is used to lure the enemy!"

On the high platform in the school grounds, several cavalry generals surrounded Li Chengzhi, listening to Li Chengzhi pointing at the cavalrymen who were chasing and fleeing in the school grounds, explaining the tactics to them.

"First use a small group of cavalry to harass, continue to shoot around the formation, anger the enemy, induce the enemy cavalry to pursue, and lure them to the ambush circle set up in advance by our side, and finally annihilate them...

If the enemy cavalry wears heavy armor, they will naturally not be able to catch up with you; if they are light cavalry, they will naturally let you shoot and kill them...

If the enemy's pursuit is too tight, they turn around and shoot. If they want to give up halfway through the pursuit, they return to their horses and pursue them decisively. Nine times out of ten, they can defeat the enemy cavalry.The remaining infantry of the enemy army is naturally left to you to deal with...

Of course, the requirements of our own cavalry are not low: first, the horse must be good and have sufficient endurance.

The second is that the cavalry must be courageous, because it must be Qingqi who lures the enemy.You have to wear full armor, first of all, you can't run, and second, no matter how stupid the enemy is, they will know that you are an elite, so how dare you chase them.The third is to be good at riding and archery..."

"What if the enemy army has no cavalry?" Li Shi asked.

"No cavalry?" Li Chengzhi sneered, "Aren't you allowed to harass and shoot? Just like the last time you were ordered to explore the formation..."

"What if the enemy army is all armored soldiers?"

"That depends on the equipment and strength of the two sides. If your own troops are strong and equipped, you can go around and attack the enemy's flanks or rear, and shoot first. If you can lure the enemy's formation to become unstable, then attack decisively."

Li Chengzhi emphasized: "I have repeatedly emphasized that cavalry cannot charge forward, but I have never said that they cannot attack the tail and rear wings. The enemy's formation is unstable. You still don't know how to win by charging, are you stupid? "

Several cavalry generals nodded frequently, and one of them, a tall man who was not too far behind Li Song, asked again: "Is this what the general said last time...'Slow and dumb' tactic?"

Li Chengzhi almost laughed out loud. With such a strategy that emphasizes mobility and flexibility, why is he so slow?

Last time he just said it casually, it doesn't matter what he called it, but right now, it's not easy to call it that way again.

One is that the generals are not easy to understand, and the other is that the Mongols don't even know where they are now.

Li Chengzhi pondered for a while and said, "Call Ma Jian back!"

This is not Li Chengzhi's original creation, but this method of warfare was originally called this name, the full name is "Anxi Huima Arrow". After the Mongols learned it, they changed it to "Mangujie".

Whether the tactics are good or not, you will know by looking at the battle examples.

The Mongols don't mention it, just talk about what has happened: more than 500 years ago, at the peak of the Roman legion's invincibility, the Parthians used this method of warfare, with only [-] iron cavalry and [-] bow cavalry, with one Enemy [-] wiped out [-] Roman legions...

"Practice well first!"

Li Chengzhi stood up, "No matter how good the tactics are, it depends on how the general responds when he is in battle, whether the soldiers' courage is available, whether the equipment is sufficient, etc. Of course, we can't apply it mechanically..."

"Remember!" A group of cavalry generals respectfully sent Li Chengzhi a gift.

Li Feng's eyes moved, and he followed closely: "Lang Jun, I'll see you off!"

Knowing that he might have something to say, Li Chengzhi nodded slightly.

After getting off the general platform and walking a little further, Li Fengcai asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, not to mention such a wonderful method of warfare, it is just an ordinary military book, which is regarded as a treasure by every family, and even the clan members do not teach it lightly. Let alone outsiders?"

"Outsider?" Li Chengzhi laughed, and glared at him, "Stupid or haven't woken up?

Not to mention these cavalry generals, even the more than five hundred cavalrymen galloping in the school grounds are already my men, if I wish, I can completely change their surname to Li..."

Li Feng was taken aback.

In a moment of urgency, I even forgot that these people were all bought by Lang Jun in exchange for steel armor and monk households.

No wonder he had to meet Zhang Xingyi and his thirty or so Taoist soldiers?
After thinking about it for a while, he was surprised again.

It is equivalent to saying that these nearly 600 cavalry have become the private soldiers of the Li family. Even if the rebellion is put down and the army is disbanded, these [-] people will not disperse.

Your Majesty is wise!

"No need to send it off, go get busy!" Li Chengzhi said as he got on his horse, "Of course the riding and archery skills of ordinary soldiers need to be practiced, but the basic skills of cavalry generals must not be relaxed. I dare not say that all of them can compare It's better than you and Li Shi, but at least it can't be worse than Li Zhang, right? We must hurry up..."

Li Zhang?

hehehe...

As for his body shape, he is not suitable for a cavalry soldier. If he puts on full armor, even a weaker horse can't carry it, let alone charge?
What good is riding if you can't even run?
"Don't worry, sir!" Li Feng replied confidently.

Li Chengzhi nodded and rode out of the camp.

Then he went around to Buying three miles away to have a look.

It is also training, but it is much simpler than cavalry.

Changing formations, changing formations, stationing formations, attacking, retreating, and at most one hollow formation drill.

Li Chengzhi originally imagined that the pawns should be used as a team to practice a small imperial cavalry formation, but after thinking about it, he did it again.

After two or three battles at most, there will be no battles to fight, and nine out of ten of these soldiers will end up disbanded. After practicing so much, aren't they making wedding dresses for others?

Being able to take out the hollow formation for these soldiers to practice is the result of his efforts to overcome all opinions.

None of Li Feng, Li Shi, including Guo Cunxin agreed.

Because no one can tell whether one day these soldiers and generals trained by Li Chengzhi will become his enemies...

Li Chengzhi didn't set up a banner (handsome flag), but the soldiers guarding the gate recognized Li Xian from a distance, and hurriedly reported it to Li Liang.

Before Li Song came back, the infantry battalion could only be held by Li Liang first. Li Chengzhi was also thinking about it. After Li Song came back in a few days, the armor would be almost forged. The furnace is closed.

After all, Jingyang is not facing that, the county magistrate was killed by him, and he is not afraid of prying eyes.

Thinking about it, I saw Li Liang coming out of the gate from a distance.But Li Chengzhi still asked the gate guards to check the letter carefully, and then followed Li Liang into the school grounds.

There are only three thousand soldiers, all of whom are practicing.

Among them, one thousand were the Li family, Song family Ding Zhuang and Seng Ding who were prepared at the beginning, and one thousand were Chaona Ding Zhuang, and the remaining one thousand were selected from the soldiers.

The reason why there are only three thousand is that the soldiers are not easy to choose. It is not that a soldier can carry fifty catties of equipment on his back and carry a spear of more than ten catties.

The second is taboo.

As long as there is iron, steel armor can be manufactured continuously, but when the battle is over?
It's not easy to sell, it's not easy to hide!
Li Chengzhi has already begun to worry about how to hide these steel armors by then.

You can't just dig a hole and bury it, right?

The third consideration is logistics.

The more soldiers there are, the more auxiliary soldiers there are.Li Chengzhi cut and cut, cut and cut again, and it was only three to one.

This is still taking into account that there will be no expeditions, long-distance transportation is not required, and there are enough carriages for horses, donkeys and mules, otherwise it will not be able to beat two to one.

The more people there are, the more consumption there will be.

Moreover, Li Chengzhi still has sufficient supply. The daily ration of a soldier is more than one and a half catties, and these more than 5000 soldiers will consume about sixty stones of food a day.

That is to say, a lot was captured after a battle, and Li Chengzhi fed some livestock and civilian husbands to Chaonahui.Otherwise, the country gentry and common people would have started complaining.

One can imagine how difficult this is to create?
He was a little worried about Liu Huiwang, how did he support nearly 20 people?
After inspecting it around, he asked about the effect of the political transformation of the soldiers, and the result was generally satisfactory, so Li Chengzhi thought about going back to the forging camp to have a look again.

It has been almost ten days since Guo Cunxin beat him away because he disliked his cousin for being too young that day. Guo Cunxin didn't look good when he saw him.

Li Chengzhi wanted to take advantage of the fact that he was not too busy, would he like to have a few drinks with his uncle to ease his feelings?
As I was thinking about it, I heard the sound of horseshoes rushing towards me. When I looked up, it was Li Cong.

Didn't raise the flag, didn't blow the whistle, presumably it wasn't a military situation, but why did they run in such a hurry?
Running in front of Li Chengzhi, Li Congjin stopped the horse and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lang, Zhang Sima sent someone to report. I don't know what he said. He seemed to be in a hurry... Guo Jijiu asked you to return to the camp quickly... "

very urgent?
The scouts patrolled the Jingyang city every day, didn't they hear that there were bandits coming?
"Understood!" Li Chengzhi responded, urging the horse to speed up.

But after leaving the camp for a mile, he saw Guo Cunxin coming on horseback. It seemed that he couldn't wait any longer and came to look for him in person.

Seeing that Guo Cunxin's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Certainly not a good thing!
Guo Cunxin lowered his body and said, "The imperial court has raised troops!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and Li Chengzhi was shocked, and his face was even more cloudy.

I took off my pants, you give me this, why did you go so early?
Don't come early, don't come late, I almost wiped out half of the elite rebels, and I was about to fight Liu Huiwang to the death, but you came here?
Didn't this come to pick peaches?
