I’m The King Chapter 590: : New cavalry tactics
For Gao Yuan, transferring two Xinnen who are pleasing to the eye and whose personal abilities are passable to his personal camp is just a trivial matter that comes out of great excitement, and it is really not worth mentioning , Turning around, he forgot about it, and went to inspect a newly trained cavalry with He Lanyan, which reminded him of the past several years ago, when he was still in Fufeng, he was still a small county Lieutenant, his first cavalry was also trained by this woman.
This is something to be happy about.
But what happened next made Gao Yuan extremely excited after being dumbfounded. It was the latest cavalry force trained by He Lanyan himself.
Gao Yuan needs cavalry, but he doesn't want to rely too much on the Huns. He wants to achieve a certain balance between the Huns and the Central Plains in his cavalry team, so as to ensure the stability of this army. Now, the Huns cavalry In Gao Yuan's view, almost dominating the entire Eastern Conquest Cavalry is an unstable factor.
But cavalry is not a unit that can be mass-produced in a short period of time like infantry. It is too difficult to find a mature cavalry. In Fufeng before, He Lanyan trained Fufeng cavalry completely according to the model of Hun cavalry. As a result, outstanding cavalry generals such as the infantry were born, and the cavalry of the infantry group also grew up after one or two years of fighting, but now, obviously, such conditions do not exist.
Time is not on Gao Yuan's side.
Gao Yuan did not hide this thought from He Lanyan, but expressed his worries to He Lanyan frankly, and as a Hun, He Lanyan heard Gao Yuan's hidden deep heart towards the Huns After distrust, it was not without flashes of anger, but these angers were extinguished by herself afterwards.
Now she is not only the princess of the Huns, but also the wife of General Zhengdong. Looking at the problem, she will naturally stand at a higher height. Gao Yuan is right. If you want to have long-term peace and stability, and if you want the Huns not to be mistrusted in the system of the Eastern Conquest Army, and to coexist peacefully with the Central Plains people, then it is necessary to maintain a balance.
This is not discrimination, although it is a precaution, it is necessary. As the princess of the Helan clan, who has been at the top of the food chain for a long time, He Lanyan is no stranger to political matters. Cao Tiancheng's fading out to fight against the high-level officials of the East Mansion is a living example. Old people like Cao Tiancheng who were the first to follow Gao Yuan and have made great military contributions have to make sacrifices, let alone the Huns.
She didn't tell her brother about Gao Yuan's thoughts and subsequent actions, but she believed that her brother must have understood this problem a long time ago, just like Gongsun Yi who is now favored by the Eastern Army. Luo Lei, He Lianpo and others all pointed to one theme, that is, to set up several other hills among the Huns. Contend against He Lanxiong, the banner of the Huns.
This is prevention, checks and balances, and a guarantee of safety.
He Lanyan took over Gao Yuan's task, and within a short period of time. A new cavalry tactic was created. And now, Gao Yuan is watching her painstaking work.
On the vast grassland, there is a cavalry force of more than 400 people. They formed a square formation of twenty by twenty, with less than one horse body between each horse in the horizontal direction, and only one horse body in the vertical direction. This distance, in the infantry formation, was a great flaw. , but among the galloping cavalry, they can almost be seen as shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm.
Trotting, speeding up, from the initial standstill to the highest speed At this moment, the phalanx of more than 400 people maintained a neat formation, and the special spears in their hands protruded forward, like A moving steel forest.
"This, this is the infantry phalanx on the move!" Gao Yuan blurted out, his eyes flashing with surprise. He Lanyan glanced at him triumphantly. She believed that with Gao Yuan's ability, when she saw this fast-moving phalanx, she already understood its purpose.
A sharp whistle sounded in the queue, and the advancing phalanx began to turn. Half of the queue began to slow down, while the other half kept the same speed. The entire phalanx seemed to be revolving around a huge In this way, the central axis completed a 90-degree turn in front of Gao Yuan, sprinted forward again, and then changed the formation to sprint. In a short period of time, the cavalry phalanx completely reversed its direction.
Gao Yuan became a little excited, looked at this brand new cavalry, and said loudly: "Crush, this cavalry can completely crush any army in Donghu. How did you do it? of?"
He looked at He Lanyan and asked.
He Lanyan laughed, her hard work was not in vain, as long as she saw Gao Yuan's excited expression, she understood the value of this army. With absolute understanding.
"It is completely impossible to train these new recruits to the level of individual combat ability that can compete with the Donghu cavalry in a short period of time. Since individual ability is impossible, we can only think about it in the team. method, what one person can’t do, ten people can’t do it?”
"However, it is infinitely more difficult to train the cavalry to be like this than to train the infantry to form a neat phalanx!" Gao Yuan sighed.
"So, guys with excellent equestrian skills like Mei Hua and Wu Ya can't stay here."
"What is this for?"
"Their skills are excellent. During the battle, they are very likely to break away from the army formation. Even if only half of the horse's head is poked out, it may destroy the integrity. Therefore, the riding skills of these cavalry are basically On the same level, those who stand out are not allowed to stay in it. Even war horses have been strictly selected. They must have a docile temper, be easy to control, and have little difference in foot strength. Those of you like you want to find a horse that is different from others. The guy with the **** steed and horse is absolutely unacceptable in this cavalry."
Gao Yuan rubbed his nose, and finally figured out the key here. Such a cavalry is a whole, and the existence of the rafters cannot be tolerated. But if this is not the case, I am afraid it is impossible to train such an army.
"Even so, it is extremely difficult to achieve this appearance, thank you for your hard work." Gao Yuan looked gratefully at He Lanyan's dark and rosy face, this blackness is all under the sun It was exposed in the sun, thinking about the way He Lanyan rubbed powder on her face desperately earlier, I couldn't help but feel a burst of heat flow through my heart.
"Isn't your business my business? What's there to thank?" He Lanyan glanced at Gao Yuan. This glance is full of looks, extremely charming, Gao Yuan only feels that half of his body is softened under this glance.
"I'm going to Hetao soon, and I'll take your cavalry with me." Gao Yuan said happily, "With this cavalry, I'm much more confident."
"Are you going to Hetao? That's right, Sun Xiao's ability to command a large army to fight is indeed not enough. He is stronger in the work of reclamation, and Hetao is a place that cannot be missed. It's just you I’m afraid I won’t be able to return to Jishi City in a short time after this trip!” He Lanyan didn’t think there was any surprise, but she was still disappointed, “This cavalry was originally prepared for your trip to Hetao, so of course you have to follow You go."
"Why, don't you want to go and see your efforts on the battlefield together? Don't you want to see them beat the Donghu people on the battlefield?" Gao Yuan looked at her with a smile.
"What did you say?" He Lanyan could hardly believe her ears, "You mean, I can follow you to Hetao?"
"Why not? You are an immediate general. Follow me to Hetao, isn't it just to show off your strengths?" Gao Yuan said.
"That's great!" He Lanyan cheered, but immediately. She seemed to think of something again, and her face collapsed again, "Does your wife know that I am going? Will she have any thoughts? Will she be unhappy? She has a body of six or seven months now, if She got angry because of this incident. The old men of Jiang Jiaquan are afraid that they will come to me to jump."
"Don't worry, Jing'er knows about this matter and fully agrees." Of course Gao Yuan would not tell He Lanyan that Ye Jing'er brought up this matter. Putting it another way, He Lanyan would be happier.
"She is always so reasonable!" He Lanyan frowned, "Every time I see her, I feel like I owe her something, which makes me unable to lift my head in front of her. Please make it clear that even if I marry you in the future, I will not live in your general's mansion, and I will feel uncomfortable seeing Jing'er every day."
"Is she putting so much pressure on you?" Gao Yuan looked at her up and down, "It's not like I'm a swift swallow!"
"What do you know?" He Lanyan rolled her big eyes, "If she tries to make things difficult for me and doesn't want to see me, maybe it can arouse my fighting spirit and I have to fight her. But her current appearance made me naturally feel sorry for her, hum, you are not as weak and weak as her appearance, she has seen my temperament and prescribe the right medicine!"
Gao Yuan smiled wryly, Ye Jing'er is naturally not the little girl in Fufeng County who didn't understand things before, and He Lanxing, with her hot temper, doesn't mean she has a seven-holed and exquisite heart. Blessings are good to enjoy, but only those who enjoy the blessings know the ups and downs here.
Early the next morning~IndoMTL.com~Mei Hua and Wu Ya, who came out of the cavalry training camp, came to the guard camp station with uneasy hearts, but they did not see the guard camp Their leader, Shangguan Hong, and a lieutenant of the personal guard battalion received them. Seeing the strange smile on the corner of the lieutenant's mouth, the two of them instinctively felt uneasy.
"Are you the two Xinnen that Shangguan Battalion Commander said they would report for duty today?" Such a new addition."
Hearing these soft but meaningful words, both of them felt creepy, Mei Hua leaned forward, held the captain's hand, and said in a low voice: "Captain, this personal guard If there are any rules in the camp, please let us know, so that we don’t suffer when we come.”
The captain felt something hard in his hand, but when he raised his hand to look, it was a piece of silver that weighed five taels, with a wider smile on his face, as he tossed the silver up and down, "Oh, I can't see, you So sensible, um, the arrival of the recruits is indeed a bit of a joke. The two of you are assigned to the second team of the third row of the first company. I will send you two to report in person. If there is anything to say, you will naturally Got it."
Mei Hua couldn't help being overjoyed, and looked back at Wu Ya, which meant, look, the silver is still useful, and the captain will send us to report in person, those veterans should give some face. (To be continued..)
