Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 266 Training Soldiers and Horses 1
Three days later, the Black Mountain army was reorganized by Gongsun Xu. Guan Yu had led 3 people back to Zhongshan and Changshan to deploy defenses. Guo Jia stayed with the Black Mountain Army for the time being. He was in charge of the migration of the people of the Black Mountain Army.

Gongsun Xu conquered the Heishan army, but there are still millions of refugees in Heishan. Gongsun Xu has no time to deal with these now. He hurried back to the grassland camp to fight the Huns. The matter here can only be thrown to Guo Great.

In the big camp, the forward selection army was already assembled, and Zhang Yan led [-] soldiers to set off as the vanguard. Gongsun Xu still had some things to deal with, so he was still in the big camp for the time being.

In the big tent, Gongsun Xu looked at the map and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, let Tian Feng send someone to take over the affairs here as soon as possible. Your main task is to rush back to Jizhou, and Yuan Shao can't take advantage of the loopholes."

"My subordinates understand." Guo Jia stared at Changshan and Zhongshan on the map and said, "General Guan Yu has gone back to deploy defenses, and our army has more than [-] troops in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao will be acquainted if he comes to Jizhou.

However, my lord, half of the [-] troops are new recruits from Montenegro, so I'm afraid it's too embarrassing to use them. Unless it's absolutely necessary, otherwise, it's better not to go to war. "

Gongsun Xu understood that what Guo Jia said was true. Although the 4 men who stayed in Jizhou were all young and strong, [-] of them were recruits who had not experienced much battle. Maybe it's okay, but if they lose the battle, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to suppress these people, and Gongsun Xu doesn't want to fight against Yuan Shao.

"This is impossible. I must lead the most elite troops to the grassland." Gongsun Xu replied: "Now, I have 2 cavalry and [-] infantry, and [-] people will be left in Montenegro." To help the refugees migrate, Yunchang must have enough troops to deter Yuan Shao, and on the court side, my father can't get away. The current situation is really bad.

However, if Yuan Shao really makes any moves, you can write a letter to my father directly. It should be possible to dispatch about [-] cavalry from Youzhou. I have the advantage of cavalry in northern Xinjiang. Yuan Shao should not be so ignorant. , He still has thousands of war horses in my hands, unless he doesn't want them any more.

In my opinion, most of the matters between us and Yuan Shao will be settled at the negotiating table. Will send someone over to help you as soon as possible. "

"I don't have a big problem here." Guo Jia replied confidently: "No matter how powerful Yuan Shao is, he won't attack us openly. I'm worried about Han Fu in Jizhou. If I have to, I'm afraid I will Go to Jizhou yourself."

Gongsun Xu frowned, he understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words, this, is not just as simple as going to Jizhou, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a personal risk.

"You can handle the specific matters yourself, I will only say one word." Gongsun Xu patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said: "In the land of Jizhou, we have already occupied Changshan and Zhongshan, which is not small. The rest of the place You do your best, don't let Yuan Shao become bigger, everything is about protecting yourself, we have plenty of opportunities."

Guo Jia heard that this was Gongsun Xu telling him not to take risks, but Guo Jia replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I won't do that kind of unsure thing. If you lose your life, then the gain outweighs the loss, hahaha."

"Hehe, it's good if you understand." Gongsun Xu smiled and said, "Forget it, my father has already led the army back to Youzhou, and I will leave the affairs of Heishan to you. Zhang Yan has already set off early, and I have to go too. , wasted here for nearly half a month, and I don’t know what’s going on in the grassland.”

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu walked out of the big tent. Outside the tent, the forward selection army had already assembled. Huang Xu stood outside the tent and led the horse. When he saw Gongsun Xu coming out, he immediately said, "My lord, the [-] infantry army has already arrived." Let's go, shall we go now?"

Gongsun Xu stepped forward and stepped on the Molong colt, and then shouted to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiao, appease the refugees, and I will leave everything to you."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu rushed out of the camp under the guard of [-] tiger and cardinal cavalry. Outside the camp, [-] cavalry immediately followed after seeing Gongsun Xu coming out. This time, Gongsun Xu was going to lead the army back. The Huns originally planned to unite with the Black Mountain Army to deal a fatal blow to the Northern Xinjiang Army, but unfortunately, they miscalculated.

After marching for more than an hour, Gongsun Xu yelled at Huang Xu: "Huang Xu, send someone to find out where Zhang Yan is, and let him not get too far away from the main force. Our main thing now is not to march, but to use Marching to rectify the soldiers and horses, quickly send people to investigate, there must be no mistakes."

"Promise." Huang Xu immediately went down to obey after taking the order.

At this moment, in addition to the 1 forward troops walking ahead to open the way, the remaining [-] cavalry were divided into ten teams, wandering around the periphery of the main force. Gongsun Xu divided the [-] infantry in the follow-up troops into eight teams. [-] people were trained according to the standards of the new army when they joined the army.

These Montenegrin troops can also be regarded as veterans for many years, and they are not too bad in terms of personal bravery. However, they lack discipline, follow suit as soon as they fight, and don't listen to the orders of the generals at all. In fact, it is very difficult to control, and a little carelessness will bring huge disasters to oneself.

Gongsun Xu didn't want to lead the disobedient soldiers. If it was really necessary, Gongsun Xu would rather camp alone with [-] cavalry. At least, it was much safer than being with these Montenegrin troops.

Fortunately, Gongsun Xu didn't have high requirements for the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army, but only asked them to keep their formation while marching, and not to rush forward in a mess.In order to increase the speed of marching, Gongsun Xu planned to use the morning time to march quickly, and the afternoon time to camp and rest and let the soldiers line up.

In this way, the physical fitness of the soldiers can be exercised without delaying the disciplinary training of the soldiers.

The 2 people led by Zhang Yan belonged to the older group of the Black Mountain Army. It is the best way to let Zhang Yan command them. Moreover, Gongsun Xu still trusts Zhang Yan. Talent is not bad, Gongsun Xu believes that he can command these 2 people well.

Judging from the current situation, it may take two or three months to rectify these soldiers and horses, but what Gongsun Xu lacks most is time. It's been a lot of hard work.

After a rapid march of forty miles in the morning, Gongsun Xu ordered the whole army to set up camp and sent people to find out Zhang Yan's location. The infantry trotted through the whole morning. Fortunately, their armor and weapons were not complete enough. The weight on their own is not too much, and there are not many people who are not used to it this morning.

The Huotou army were all burying pots and making food. Gongsun Xu sent out [-] cavalry to patrol around, and another [-] thousand troops went hunting in the nearby mountains.

If you want to improve the combat effectiveness of soldiers, you must let them eat well, drink well, train well, and equip them with the best armor and weapons.This group of Montenegrin troops was really poor. Except for a small number of people who could still have some decent weapons, most of the rest basically wore commoner clothes and trained with wooden sticks.

If such soldiers went to the battlefield, they would simply die. Gongsun Xu didn't want his soldiers to die in vain.

Fortunately, Wuyuan has hoarded a large amount of strategic materials. Gongsun Xu's plan is to pass by Wuyuan when marching, change his army there, and then set off from Wuyuan. In this way, he can guarantee training on his side, It can also ensure safety.

As for the marching supplies, there is no need for these soldiers to resist for the time being.When Gongsun Xu came from the grassland, he brought a large number of war horses with him. After surrendering the Black Mountain Army, he also got [-] grassland war horses, which Zhang Yan planned to use to equip his own cavalry.

Gongsun Xu conducted a test on the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army. Many of them knew how to ride, and even a lot of them knew how to ride and shoot. However, are such people rare? It is not as good as ordinary cavalry, and Gongsun Xu does not intend to let the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army go to the battlefield like this.

However, if there is such a good source of soldiers and you don't use them, then you will feel sorry for the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army.Gongsun Xu selected 2 soldiers who were good at riding from the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army who surrendered, and planned to form cavalry in the future. However, before that, these cavalry had to receive physical fitness and discipline training like infantry.

After more than half an hour, the hunting team that went into the mountain sent back a batch of prey. To say that there are indeed a lot of things in the forests and grasslands at this time, such as these beasts, sometimes if you are lucky, you can really come across a lot .The hunting team in the mountains was lucky, and they hunted a lot of wild deer and sheep in this short period of time.

Gongsun Xu didn't say anything, and directly awarded the points to those teams that performed better on the marching road.Although the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army have lived in the deep mountains and old forests for many years, they still have relatively few opportunities to eat meat. Usually, even if someone hunts something, it must be handed over to the superiors. Ordinary soldiers even have soup. nothing.

However, Gongsun Xu didn't take this little meat seriously at all. If it weren't for the fact that there were not a large number of sheep around him, Gongsun Xu would definitely let the soldiers eat meat.If you want to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, how can you not eat meat? Gongsun Xu still understands this.

Those who got the meat were naturally happy, and happily took the prey to peel it, washed it and put it on the rack to roast. The rest of the soldiers who didn't get the meat could only watch and drool.It can't be blamed that these soldiers are worthless, the key is that they really haven't eaten meat for a long time.

As far as Gongsun Xu's treatment of them is concerned, it is really good to say that, although the march and training have suffered a lot, Gongsun Xu will make them full and will never deduct their food and salary. The soldiers have no complaints anymore. When they were in Montenegro, they only had two meals a day, and it wasn't necessarily dry.

Following Gongsun Xu, I haven't seen any future yet, but I have already got three full meals this day. This is already a great happiness for ordinary Montenegro soldiers.
