Han Dao world

Chapter 856
Xu Huang quickened his pace and caught up with Guan Yu.

"Yun Chang, drink two cups?"

Guan Yu turned his head to look at Xu Huang, nodded, but did not speak.

He knew what Xu Huang wanted to say to him, but Xu Huang was kind to him.If Xu Huang hadn't kept him in Jiguan and created a fighting opportunity for him, he wouldn't be where he is today.

While chatting, the two left the Chinese army camp and walked towards the middle base camp.

Middle Base Battalion was one of the eight schools, which was abolished when the Union Army was reduced to five schools.Now that it is rebuilt, it is a brand new battalion. The soldiers in the battalion are all elite infantry who have just participated in the parade, and they are placed under Xu Huang's command. There are problems of integration of different regions, but there is no contradiction between the old and the new.

All are newcomers.

Fortunately, Xu Huang not only has outstanding personal ability, but also has stronger military training ability. Adhering to the concept that the emperor and the soldiers are of one mind, he quickly became one with these subordinates.

Seeing Xu Huang and Guan Yu entering the camp, the soldiers along the way saluted one after another.

Xu Huang saluted from time to time.

Guan Yu saw it hot, and said with emotion: "Brother Gongming, I really envy you. Sometimes I think, if the emperor didn't separate you and me, let me be your fake captain, that would be great."

Xu Huang laughed. "Yun Chang, the Son of Heaven has very high expectations for you. You are always my fake captain, won't you bury it? The middle battalion is the backbone of the infantry, and the cavalry battalion is the main force of the cavalry. Neither of them can be lacking. Yun Chang, You have a heavy burden on your shoulders."

Guan Yu stroked his beard and sighed. "Because of this, I refuse to give up. Although those knights are not bad, they are still too far from the standard of the cavalry. When they enter the battle, not only will they not be able to fight, but they may mess up their own positions."

Xu Huang nodded thoughtfully.

Armored cavalry is different from ordinary heavy cavalry and has extremely high requirements.In addition to personal physical fitness, skills and tactics, mutual cooperation is also required.Only when everyone can do as required can they be twisted into a single rope and exert the greatest impact when going into battle.

In the face of an overwhelmingly superior number of enemies, if someone can't restrain the fear in his heart and mess up the battle, it is likely to bring disastrous consequences.

From this perspective, Guan Yu's persistence is not without reason.

"Yun Chang, have you ever thought that you may not have the chance to show your skills at all in the conquest of Jizhou this time?"

Guan Yu sighed.

He had thought of this a long time ago.The judges are trapped in Yecheng, Youzhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shu, and the cavalry who can still serve the judges is very limited. The light cavalry of the Hu cavalry camp and the Changshui camp are enough to cope, and the heavy cavalry of the Tun cavalry camp is likely to be in charge , it is unlikely to have the opportunity to go directly to battle.

As for the siege, there is nothing to do with heavy cavalry.

"Then have you ever thought about why the Son of Heaven rebuilt the cavalry camp at this time, and even sent half of the armored cavalry over?"

Guan Yu was taken aback. "Why?"

Xu Huang had already reached the door of the big tent, and turned around to look around. "The weather is nice, let's drink outside the tent, so as not to be bored in the tent."

Guan Yu didn't want to drink, so he agreed casually, urging Xu Huang to speak quickly.

Xu Huang, however, took his time and ordered people to lay out a table and set up a table. He brought wine and took a seat in front of the tent.

Seeing this scene, Guan Yu was thoughtful. "You mean, the emperor wants to see if I can take over the cavalry camp?"

Xu Huang smiled slightly. "Yun Chang, you are right. If the cavalry battalion wants to exert its true power, it must be of one mind, and there must be no one who acts like a fool. But have you ever thought that it is not only the cavalry battalion that needs unity, but the entire northern army. That's right."

Guan Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he took a slow breath.

He kind of understood what Xu Huang meant.

The Eighth School of the Northern Army is not a separate eight battalions, but a combination of different functions.In order to exert real combat effectiveness, it is not enough for any battalion to be strong, but all eight battalions must be strong and cooperate with each other tacitly.

The cavalry battalion is very strong, but without the cooperation of the light cavalry and the Shesheng battalion, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry battalion is difficult to last.

"Each of the eight battalions has its own characteristics, and each has its own difficulties. The power of the cavalry battalion lies in the battle, but the difficulty lies in the high requirements for soldiers and the difficulty in training. It is difficult to form combat effectiveness within two or three years."

Guan Yu frowned. "So, it doesn't make any difference whether the riding camp goes to Jizhou or not?"

"You can't say that." Xu Huang shook his head. "The Northern Army without a cavalry battalion is an incomplete Northern Army. It's just that this time the cavalry battalion is coordinated with other battalions, but in the future other battalions may cooperate with the cavalry battalion."

"future?"

"You don't think that after Jizhou is pacified, the emperor will let Nanshan go?"

Guan Yu was at a loss for words for a moment, and after pondering for a while, he said reluctantly: "In this case, I will accept some reluctantly."

The wine is hot, the mist is lingering, and the aroma of the wine is tangy.

Xu Huang raised his wine glass. "Not just a few, but the entire cavalry battalion. Let them practice according to your requirements. If they succeed in training, they will stay. If they fail in training, even if they are sent to other battalions, they will be well-known elites. Who would refuse?"

Guan Yu's eyes flashed, his anger turned into joy, and he nodded repeatedly.

When Jujun returned to the camp, he didn't go into his own tent, but directly into Jushou's tent.

Jushou has guests.A young man was sitting opposite Jushou, with several blueprints spread out on the desk.With a glance, Ju Jun recognized that it was a siege equipment, so he couldn't help but give the young man another look.

Jushou got up quickly. "Brother, this is Ma Jun and Ma Deheng, a famous doctor in Guanzhong University. He just arrived from Chang'an and is preparing to serve in the Northern Army."

When Ju Jun heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

"It turns out that you are Master Ma. I didn't expect you to be so young. Tsk tsk, what a hero out of a young man."

Ma Jun blushed, stuttered and couldn't speak.

Ju Jun laughed and invited Ma Jun to sit down again.

He had heard of Ma Jun's name a long time ago, and knew that he was a skilled craftsman in Guanzhong. The efficiency of the improved loom was nearly ten times higher than that of the original loom.Guanzhong and Hedong can now sell a large amount of silk, and Ma Jun's improved loom has made great contributions.

Shi Sunrui had long wanted to invite Ma Jun to serve in the Northern Army, but Ma Jun refused.Later, I heard that Ma Jun made a lot of profits from making looms, and he was not even willing to invite him to give lectures at Taixue, so he gave up.

Unexpectedly, Ma Jun would appear here suddenly, and it was in Jushou's big tent.

Needless to say, Ju Shou must have been in the middle of the operation, and Ma Jun, a famous craftsman, was invited.

With Ma Jun's assistance, it will be much easier to attack Yecheng.

Ju Jun exchanged pleasantries with Ma Jun for a while, and Ma Jun was very uncomfortable, so he got up and said goodbye on the grounds that the boat was tired.Jushou didn't stop him, and ordered someone to send Ma Jun to rest.

Only Ju Jun and Ju Shou were left in the tent, and Ju Jun didn't care about his intentions, so he first asked how Ma Jun got here.

Ju Shou smiled. "It's not my credit, it's the Zhongshan Zhen family's credit."

Ju Jun rolled his eyes and immediately thought of someone. "You mean, it's the little girl who is said to be ordered by a nobleman?"

Jushou nodded. "I don't know what method she used to convince Ma Jun."

Ju Jun couldn't help but feel a little worried. "Although Ma Jun is dexterous, he is a white man after all. It may be a little difficult to be the captain of Qingche directly."

Ju Shou shook his hand. "This person doesn't have a good reputation, and he has no interest in Captain Qingche, as long as he can do things."
