Chapter 82 Cavalry Training
That Chen Changbing was originally a martial arts expert, and Zhang Shun's sworn elder brother, he was the right candidate for the cavalry general.So, by the way, Zhang ordered him to hand over the soldiers in his hands to himself, and take full charge of cavalry training.

Chen Changbing didn't have any opinion on Zhang Shun's behavior of recruiting soldiers from his own hands, but he was quite critical of Zhang Shun's "random" selection of soldiers.It's just that as soon as Chen Changliang got started, he found that Zhang Shun's selected personnel had made amazing progress in learning riding skills, so he couldn't help but marvel at Zhang Shun's astonishing vision.

In fact, this was a misunderstanding by Chen Changbing. In later generations, an invincible army used this method to select cavalry and train recruits.It's just that Zhang Shun occasionally read relevant historical materials in his previous life, but he couldn't remember clearly, and vaguely felt that it was right to do so.

Speaking of the king's arms in the cold weapon era-cavalry, it is not what many people imagined.Combining the "nuclear-powered Mongolian horse" with the elite soldiers in heavy armor holding the "Mongolian shelling tail stabilized armor-piercing arrow", it is an invincible "nuclear-powered" cavalry unit.

This excellent cavalry unit, the first is horse selection.The horses in East Asia are obviously different from those in other parts of the world. Mongolian horses, as the means of living of herdsmen, are not the bigger the better in the harsh grassland environment.

However, the horses used by the cavalry are required to be tall and strong, which is just the opposite of the requirements of the herdsmen as a means of living.However, as a horse farm that has cultivated war horses in the past dynasties, due to the change of dynasty, wars and random command of various non-professionals, the excellent blood and genes have been diluted by the huge Mongolian horse herd time and time again.

So the first step is to choose a stallion with a shoulder height of more than four feet and a weight of more than [-] catties as a war horse.The second step is to train these selected horses to adapt them to riding and become suitable war horses.

The third step is for the recruits to get in touch with the horses. They first learn to serve the horses, feed the horses, brush the horses, cut horse hay and other daily tasks, and become familiar with the horses.The fourth step is for recruits to practice horse riding skills from tools such as stilts and wooden horses.Then learn to ride a real horse and practice basic horsemanship.

The fifth step is to practice martial arts such as chopping knives and using guns, and even archery and firearms.The sixth step is the practice queue, which generally includes charge queue, encirclement queue, harassment queue, etc.

Fortunately, what Zhang Shun took over was a trained warhorse. Although the shoulder height and weight did not meet the standards of an excellent warhorse, it could barely be used as a warhorse.

After Zhang Shun heard Chen Changzhu's speech, his head suddenly became dizzy.The imperial court called for safety within a few days or even ten days. If something happened, I still wanted to use these cavalry.After pondering for a long time, he asked Chen Changzhu: "That kind of martial arts, the cavalry can master it the fastest, and form combat capabilities?"

Chen Changzhu thought for a while, and replied: "It must be the three-eyed blunderbuss!"

"Three-eyed blunderbuss?" Zhang Shun expressed doubts. He remembered that later generations read forum posts, and the three-eyed blunderbuss were almost worthless.

"Yes, the three-eyed blunderbuss!" Chen Changliang reaffirmed, "This weapon is not powerful, but it is simple and does not require much training. If you encounter an enemy within [-] steps, use the blunderbuss to shoot it; if you are close to the enemy, use the blunderbuss hammer It is good at both swords and spears, and the only things he fears are bows, arrows, birds and blunderbuss.”

Could it be that Chen Changliang has watched "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty"?Zhang Shun secretly complained.However, after hearing Chen Changzhu's analysis, he really found that this thing is really good as a simple weapon.If the opponent's cavalry and infantry fight with spears, the three-eyed gun can spray them within twenty steps; if the opponent's cavalry and infantry fight with a sword, the three-eyed gun can be used to hammer them.It is very wonderful to use the long to control the short.As for some shortcomings, we will talk about it later.For now, something is better than nothing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun ordered: "Okay, I'll save my face and ask the second master to allocate some three-eyed guns for us. You can let the soldiers learn how to ride horses and simple formation as soon as possible. When the weapons arrive, just practice shooting immediately. The three martial arts of fighting and hammering infantry are enough."

After Chen Changbing got the order, he didn't care about feeding horses, brushing horses, cutting horse hay, etc. for the recruits in front of him. Serve with a cane.

And that Zhang Shun went to "Zijin Liang" to ask for the three-eyed gun, and the reputation of the three-eyed gun in the Mingbian army was not very good. "Zijin Liang" not only agreed, but also persuaded Zhang Shun: "Little brother 'Optimus Prime', this thing just sounds good, it's not a firearm. To start a war, the artillery must be powerful. If not We were chased by officers and soldiers with nowhere to go. We had already carried some common artillery such as tiger squat guns and Francophones to fight. Fortunately, you little brother can cast cannons. Even if you turn to the government, you will definitely die be reused."

Different ways do not conspire with each other, so Zhang Shun is not optimistic about recruiting security at all.Everyone reads "Water Margin", but they come to different conclusions. "Zijinliang" felt that the dead Wang Jiayin should be "Tuota King" Chao Gai, and he should be that "Xiaoyi Sanlang" Song Jiang.The reason why Song Jiang failed to recruit security back then was because the trustee was not a person.Now that I am relying on the Shanxi governor Song Tongyin's family, I should be a great success.

However, Zhang Shun was deeply influenced by the thinking of later generations, and hastily thought that Zhao'an was "not resolute in the revolution" and a style of capitulation.As the representative of the reactionary forces, the Ming government will not let the peasant uprising army go. Surrendering is tantamount to throwing oneself into a trap.Therefore, while Zhang Shun made false claims with "Zijin Liang", he prepared his army for war.

Zhang Shun obtained fifty or sixty three-eyed blunderbuss, selected good ones, and distributed them to the cavalry.If some rods are not good, they must be replaced with new ones.That Chen Changliang is also very skilled, it only took a few days to train this group of recruits to ride horses without any danger.

Therefore, in order to save time, Chen Changzhu asked the soldiers to practice the formation and practice the three-eyed gun together.Among them, cavalry close combat, which was originally considered the most difficult, was the easiest, because the handle of the three-eyed gun was longer, and it was more convenient for both infantry and cavalry on hammer horses.The only more troublesome thing is shooting right away. It was safe to hit or miss on the road, but this shooting immediately often caused the horses to be frightened. Several times, the recruits on the horses were thrown off, and people were injured. , luckily no death happened.

The wounded soldiers, unable to participate in the training for the time being, limped to find Zhang Shun one after another, weeping bitterly, with their heads smashed, and begged Zhang Shun to punish Chen Changbing for the crime of abusing everyone.
