Water Margin people

"what idea?"

Bernard looked at Xin Qiji and asked.

"You definitely won't be able to train these people in ten days! I have a way to quickly form an army for them!"

Xin Qiji looked at Bernard and said.

"What's the solution? Tell me!"

Bernard immediately became interested. As Xin Qiji said, it was not easy to organize these troops who did not know each other and had no coordination into an army in ten days.

"There is a cavalry tactic in the East called linked horses! All you need to do is link the cavalry with chains and ropes, and they will be able to move in unison."

Xin Qiji looked at Bernard and said.

"Link the cavalry with ropes and chains?"

Bernard frowned and thought, this method seemed feasible, but he felt there might be some problems.

"If it falls, won't the whole area fall down?"

Bernard looked at Xin Qiji and asked, "This is a very simple question. Cavalry is easy to train, but if they fall down they will become a burden."

"That depends on their abilities. I didn't say to connect everyone together. Look, they come from different places. It shouldn't be a big problem if we just keep them together."

Xin Qiji gave a solution. People who are not familiar with the situation will definitely not be able to cooperate quickly, but people who are familiar with the situation can get used to it through simple training.

"This method... seems to be feasible!"

Bernard frowned slightly and thought for a long time before he spoke, saying that it would be better to take a shortcut instead of training hard.

Bernard immediately gave orders to the generals around him, saying that he wanted to give it a try.

Soon, cavalrymen from a certain kingdom began to experiment with ropes. At the beginning, there were always some cavalrymen who were a step slow and were pulled off their horses by the ropes.

But as they became more skilled, the cavalry became more organized and no one fell off their horse again.

"good idea."

Bernard's eyes lit up when he saw the neatly-organized cavalry. He had never thought of this tactic before, and he didn't expect it to be so effective.

"Oh, what a pity!"

Xin Qiji pretended to be regretful again.

"General, why are you sighing? But what's the problem with my army?"

Bernard looked at Xin Qiji and asked. The title he addressed was general, which showed that he cared very much about the young Xiongnu noble in front of him.

"It's a pity that your cavalry don't have armor. You don't know, there is a kind of warfare method in the East called chain armor horse! The cavalry horses are all covered with heavy armor, and then connected with iron chains. The impact is like pulling a net..."

Xin Qiji said with a look of emotion.

"Linked armor horse!"

Bernard's eyes lit up when he heard this. Just by thinking about it, he knew how powerful this tactic was.

"Good tactics! Good tactics!"

Bernard clapped his hands excitedly.

"Do you have any battle armor?"

Xin Qiji glanced at Bernard and said.

"Haha, of course there is armor!"

Bernard left with a big laugh. He was going to prepare the chain armor horse. If successful, it would be their weapon to win.

Watching Bernard and his men leave, Xin Qiji stayed there with a smile on his face.

"General, your smile is so cheap! Stop it!"

Several soldiers looked at Xin Qiji and said.

"Get lost! What do you know? These idiots have been fooled!"

Xin Qiji adjusted his expression before speaking.

Xin Qiji had heard of Hu Yanzhuo's chain-armored horse. He had answered this question when he was studying military tactics in the army.

Xu Ning's hook-and-sickle spear was the standard answer in the early days, but it became the passing line in the later days because there were too many ways.

Iron chevaux de frise, hidden trenches, catapults, fire attacks, artillery, gun arrays, poisonous smoke, poisonous fog...the boys in the school came up with all kinds of vicious schemes. Xin Qiji's answer was the simplest, just use artillery and guns to attack, and the heavy cavalry would just be a mess.

"These people are just country bumpkins who have never seen the world. They were fooled by just a few words!"

The soldiers laughed and said that if Xin Qiji said those words in the East, children on the street would sneer at them, but in the West they were regarded as treasures.

"Isn't it just a leopard?"

Xin Qiji was very satisfied with this title. He felt that these people in the West were just uncivilized people.

"Tell the brothers, let's practice too!"

Xin Qiji gave orders to the soldiers, saying that they could not just come without any skills.

Soon Xin Qiji led the army to start training. Although those Turks were good at horse riding, they lacked systematic training, so Xin Qiji could only teach them little by little.

Fortunately, these Turks had good comprehension and soon learned how to do it.

"The Huns really have some skills!"

Eugene III sighed as he watched the Huns training in the distance. Although he disliked the Huns, he had to admit that these people were born warriors.

"Your Holiness, I have a plan."

Bernard hurriedly walked up to the Pope and told him the tactics he had just learned.

"Can we still fight like this?"

Eugene III didn't understand, but the other kings all stared with eyes wide open. They had been through hundreds of battles and naturally knew the horror of these linked armored horses. If this kind of warhorse formation charged, it would be a nightmare for the infantry.

"I have armor!"

"I'll try it!"

"I am coming too!"

Many kings got up and left. How could they miss such a good tactic? After the war, they could still rely on these linked armored horses to fight.

"These guys, let them take out some things, they all cry poor, and now they run faster than anyone else!"

A cardinal cursed in a low voice. They had lost the city of Rome and most of their supplies, so they gave these kings more, but these kings kept complaining about being poor.

"Ignore them!"

Eugene III shook his head.

"These Huns are quite capable! They even know Eastern tactics!"

A king started to tune.

"What's so strange about this? The Huns dream of returning to the East! To revive the former glory of the Huns!"

Bella III spoke.

"Just these few people?"

An archbishop sneered as he looked at the thousand cavalrymen. It was impossible for such a small number of people to fight their way back to the East.

"Send someone to monitor the Qi army. The Qi people are the most cunning. We must not fall into their trap!"

Eugene III spoke up and said that he always felt that Qi had some conspiracy.

Venice.

Xiao Jiasui was looking at the various cases in his hands. Although they ruled Venice, these Westerners were not honest and there were always some messy things.

"Military Advisor, why bother with so much trouble? Just take him down and give him a beating!"

Yue Fei looked at Xiao Jiasui and said.

"You don't understand. This is called setting rules. This is to prepare for ruling the West in the future!"

Xiao Jiasui said, beating with a stick is of course simple, but not everything can be solved with the same method.

"We have to go back to Qi eventually. This place will be handed over to the generals to manage. How do you expect a group of warriors to govern? You have to give them a detailed booklet and judge the case according to the examples!"

Xiao Jiasui pointed to the book in his hand and said, "It was full of case files that had been adjudicated."

If the generals are allowed to act recklessly, these overseas outposts will rebel sooner or later, and then we will have to send troops to suppress the rebellion. (End of this chapter)
