please make me king

Chapter 1103 New Cavalry
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Shun!" "Little Yuchi" Wei Congyi had long since lost his arrogance, and saluted Zhang Shun honestly.

Crickets can compete with grasshoppers, but they cannot compete with tigers.

Now that Zhang Shun has reached an unattainable position, all his ambitions and aspirations back then have become a joke.

"It's the old man who followed me back then, don't be so polite!" Zhang Shun waved his hand and asked, "Do you have any job? Do you have any ideas?"

"In the past, the affairs were complicated, and I never cared about us old people."

"It just so happened that I passed by Guyuan today, and I came here to find you for a drink!"

Hearing this, Wei Congyi realized that Zhang Shun wanted to use him more, he was relieved, and quickly responded: "Don't dare to bother King Shun to ask, thanks to General Chen's care, he is currently serving as the director of the cavalry department, and he has five subordinates. Baiqi."

"Cavalry? Cavalry is good!" Zhang Shun gestured to Wei Congyi and others to sit down, and raised his glass, "I still remember the time when Congyi fought with Changlong cavalry, and he made a good horse lance, which made me amazed."

"King Shun is laughing at you. A little fluffy tricks are not good enough for you." After being suppressed by Zhang Shun for a while, Wei Congyi really figured it out.

Is there really a shortage of talented people in this world?In fact, there is no lack at all.

Chen Changbing was nothing more than a bodyguard who went all over the world, not to mention his ability to wield a knife with one hand, but now the formation of troops and the deployment of troops to fight are all arranged in an orderly manner.

Xiao Qinhu, a hunter, has nothing but good marksmanship. Now he is guarding Nanyang, making Huguang governor dare not look north.

Zhang Sanbai was a mere vagrant, but relying on his younger sister's favor, he was able to command the battle on behalf of the monarch and captured the governors of the five provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

How can He De live above me in my generation, but because of being close to King Shun.

Just as Li Si lamented in the past: the virtuousness of a person is like a mouse, and it is in one's own ears!
Eating excrement on the side, rice in the warehouse, that's all!

"Congyi is too modest!" Seeing that Wei Congyi, Chen Changlan, Song Xiance and others also raised their wine glasses, Zhang Shun said in one gulp.

"It's not Congyi who is self-effacing, but he has realized a lot recently." Wei Congyi also drank the contents of the cup, and shook his head involuntarily.

"This is how you understand the meaning of what King Xiang said in the past, 'The sword is one man's enemy, it's not enough to learn, and ten thousand people can learn from it'."

"Oh, how do you say that?" Zhang Shun couldn't help asking in surprise.

"No matter how good your personal martial arts are, you can only kill a few people or a dozen people!" Wei Congyi couldn't help but sighed.

"If thousands of enemies come and line up for you to slaughter, how many people can you kill all day long?"

"Oh, then what is the law of the enemy of ten thousand people?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but asked with a smile.

Wei Congyi's words were to express his position to himself, in fact, he wanted to lead the army to fight.

The so-called "enemies of ten thousand people" and so on are nothing but blindfolds.

In the past, Wei Congyi coerced the people and made noises outside the capital, which caused an uproar in the Ming court, which shows his ability.

Of course, Zhang Shun's rhetorical question was also meant to be a test.

Since you want to lead the army, do you have any rules?Any plans?
"Sun Tzu said: Soldiers have heard of clumsiness and speed, but have not seen it for a long time. Therefore, in the method of using soldiers, light illness is the top priority, and clumsiness is the bottom."

"Soldiers who are light and ill, gallop hundreds of miles a day, come and go suddenly. If I want to fight, the enemy has to fight with me, and take advantage of the emptiness; also!"

"Therefore, the cavalry is the top, the infantry is the bottom, the light soldiers are the top, and the heavy soldiers are the bottom."

"Oh? Follow the words of righteousness, do you want to use light cavalry?" This is not the same as Lu Xiangsheng's thinking in "The Strange Army Camp".

Lu Xiangsheng is thinking of special operations, horses are just vehicles for "surprise soldiers", and he pays attention to "night attack" and "surprise attack".

And Wei Congyi's thinking is maneuvering, maneuvering, and what the hell is maneuvering!

"How do you plan?" Zhang Shun didn't immediately deny Wei Congyi's idea, but asked instead.

"That's what I think!" Seeing that Zhang Shun didn't veto it, Wei Congyi had a good idea.

"A mounted cavalry has at least one man and three horses. One of the upper horses is used for combat, one of the middle horses is used for riding, and one of the mules and horses is used for carrying loads."

"Ordinary cavalry has at least one man and two horses, one horse for combat and one horse for load."

"Both of them move slowly, and the day is only seventy miles away."

"My so-called 'light cavalry' means that one person and two horses travel hundreds of miles day by day, appearing and disappearing like ghosts and ghosts, which cannot be done!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help frowning. He also knew the cavalry of this era quite well.

In fact, the rebel army did not have so many mules and horses, so they had to use vehicles to transport armor, vests, luggage and other equipment.

Although the marching speed is slightly limited, marching under good conditions can barely meet the standard speed of seventy miles per day for cavalry.

Now that Wei Congyi boasted that he went to Haikou with one person and two horses, and he was traveling hundreds of miles, it is obvious that he should not carry the weight, or the main burden should be borne by himself.

But in this way, can such a lightly armed team still have the ability to fight independently?
In this era, due to the popularity of various firearms, the firepower is unprecedentedly intensive.

If the fragile body is not protected by armor, it will hurt you when you knock it, and you will die when you touch it. How can you fight?
He couldn't help asking: "If this is the case, how can we defeat the enemy?"

Wei Congyi also knew that the so-called war consisted of two main points.

One is to catch up, and the other is to win by fighting.

The speed of marching lightly and swiftly is far beyond the general level of this era, but how to win the opponent is the key to his "light cavalry".

"That's my plan." Wei Congyi couldn't help saying seriously after hearing the words.

"All riders are carefully selected and equipped with a firecracker, a long gun, a pair of bows and arrows, a bag of ammunition, and a bag of dry food."

"One person and two horses, riding in rotation. There are also several horses, which are specially used to carry food, Fran cannons, ammunition, armor and even vests."

"However, the number of armor and vests is only two or three hundred, and they are used as a last resort. Therefore, they can travel hundreds of miles a day."

"If there is an emergency military situation, you can spare no effort. If you increase the number of horses, one person can do two hundred miles."

"Among them, it is best to shorten the barrel and increase the diameter of the gun, so as to be able to break fine armor!"

"Light horses but heavy guns?" Zhang Shun was taken aback, and subconsciously concluded.

"Hey? Yes!" Wei Congyi couldn't help admiring, "That's what it means."

"In today's world, firearms are sharp, and frontier soldiers also use bird guns in exchange for bows and arrows. I wondered if this is the case, why not pay more attention to guns than horses, with light speed like wind and aggression like fire. How can there be anyone in the world who can stop it?"

"Okay! Come on, after drinking this glass of wine, this king will appoint you to form a battalion of cavalry in accordance with the law, and try the effect!" Zhang Shun listened for a long time, and finally understood that Wei Congyi was going to form a battalion of cavalry.

To be honest, although Zhang Shun is quite talented in command, he still has no idea how to fight the future war.

Therefore, he was gradually exploring and experimenting with Xu Quan's establishment of the Bird Battalion and Ren Jirong's formation of the "Children's Camp".

Now that Wei Congyi has such a new idea and idea, he might as well hand over the cavalry battalion that he planned to leave to Li Jiyu and let him try it out.

If there are indeed some results, the entire army can be quickly promoted, and the army can be rapidly expanded to prepare for war.
