Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 207 Inspecting the Imperial Battalion Division

"Luo Tongjun!"

After completing this wave of training, Dang Jin rode his horse to the front, jumped off the horse and went up to meet him. The rough face that looked like Zhang Fei in the novel turned into a flower with a smile.

Seeing Dang Jin like this, Luo Youdu couldn't help laughing secretly.

This guy is simple and rigorous, with the intention of flattery, but he doesn't have the means to squeeze his big black face into a flattering look.

The beard on that face was twisted and straightened like a hedgehog. Even though he was smiling, he was showing a fierce look. The timid one might cry in fright when he saw it.

"well-done!"

Luo Youdu first gave Dang Jin appropriate encouragement. For people with this personality, the effect of being harsh on him is not obvious. It is better to encourage him directly to make him more motivated: "In just half a month, the Dragon Army will look good."

"Do you know why you were asked to practice this face-covering assault? Instead of just sprinting normally?"

Dang Jin said: "That's because the Khitans are good at riding and shooting. When charging, they will shoot us from a distance. We have helmets on our heads and chain mail on our bodies, so we have no defense on our faces. We have to use armor to protect our faces." Wrist blocked."

"That's right, that's exactly it! This first step has been completed very well, and then you have to learn to control the speed."

He thought for a while and said, "Who is better, you or Kang Baoyi?"

Dang Jin said complacently: "He is not my closest enemy in cavalry combat. It depends on foot combat. His pace is too fast. If his subordinates cannot win for a while, they will easily lose their strength."

Luo Youdu followed the words: "Then how did you win?"

Dang Jin gestured three times and said: "Look for an opportunity, as long as you find an opportunity, you will attack directly, and if you win, you will win. If you let him support it, you will lose, and you will not have the strength to fight again."

Luo Youdu clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "It's the same reason. Fighting against the Khitan cavalry is like competing with Kang Baoyi. He is fast and rashly attacking, which will only consume his own physical strength. It is better to use the same to cope with all changes and save money." Physical strength, seize the opportunity, and make a quick decision."

"The Khitan cavalry are a bunch of cowards. They only know how to shoot arrows from a distance and dare not attack head-on. If you get close, they will run away. If you retreat, they will chase them. They are extremely shameless."

Dang Jin nodded empathetically and said: "Tongjun is right, they are a bunch of cowards."

Luo Youdu continued: "If they want to run, we have to chase them. The only way to beat them is to catch them up before our energy is exhausted. If we fight head-on, they are not our opponents."

"Before entering their range, their cavalry will not retreat. There is no need to exhaust the horse's strength before entering their range, as long as the speed is raised."

"The Khitan cavalry will only retreat after we are within range and the arrows in their hands are shot. The best opportunity is to take advantage of the fast speed and explosive power of our horses at the moment when they shoot their arrows and prepare to retreat. , and catch up with them."

Dang Jin understood it, and said loudly: "The general understands, it's the same as fighting. You don't need to be faster than the other party, as long as you are faster than them at critical moments."

Luo Youdu clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Dangdu Yuhou has a good understanding, that's the reason."

Dang Jin is not qualified to be the commander of the Longxiang Army now, so his position is the capital of the Longxiang Army.

The real power of the commander of the Longxiang Army is currently held concurrently by Cao Bin, the capital of the imperial camp.

This is also Du Yuhou, one is Du Yuhou of the Longxiang Army, and the other is Du Yuhou of the Imperial Army Division. The gap cannot be calculated by reason.

Dang Jin said excitedly: "This subordinate understands, the next step is to practice fast sprinting within one arrow."

Luo Youdu gave a thumbs up, expressing his greatness: This is all knowing how to infer other things from one instance.

In fact, the real battlefield is far from as simple as Luo Youdu said, and different environments will have different performances.

But there is no doubt that the main offensive methods of the Khitan cavalry are riding, shooting and flying kites.

It is also only when the opponent reveals a flaw, or turns around to attack from behind.Or when they are entangled by the enemy, they will choose to fight head-on.

But Khitan horses are not at the same level as the regular war horses in the Central Plains in terms of size and strength.Generally speaking, there is only a disadvantage in facing each other head-on.

Of course they can buy Malaysia, and Khitan can also buy Liangzhou Malaysia.

The Khitan had left and right iron kite armies on the grasslands.Different from Xixia iron harriers, Xixia iron harriers are heavy cavalry, both men and horses wear armor, while Khitan's iron harrier army is only armored soldiers, galloping lightly, like a harrier fighting a bird.

But compared to the fact that almost all the cavalry in the Central Plains are Liangzhou horses, the number of Khitan horses will not be too many, and it will be a few thousand at the top.

Because Liangzhou horses are far less hard-working than Khitan horses, they can't stand the harsh climate in the Northeast, and they can easily get sick and die.

When Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, captured ten cities including Liaodong, captured more than [-] households, and beheaded more than [-] Goryeo soldiers. The Tang army lost only a few thousand soldiers, but lost seven or eight out of ten war horses.

Due to the harsh climate in the Northeast, Liangzhou Dama is not acclimatized.

Therefore, for Khitan, the cost of raising Liangzhou horses is too high.

They can't bear it now.

It was only when Liao Jingzong Ye Luxian and Empress Dowager Xiao were in power, when the Liao Kingdom was at its peak, that they could afford to support the Iron Forest Army.

The Khitan tactics at this stage are still based on maneuvering and turning, supplemented by bow and arrow attacks.

Only in this way can the advantages of their riding and archery and Khitan war horses be maximized.

Simple and practical.

Use Khitan Qingqi as an imaginary enemy to train, and if you do encounter them in the future, you will be able to deal with them with ease.

After inspecting the Longxiang Army, Luo Youdu then went to Zhang Qiong's Longwei Army.

As a Dragon Guard with a mixed formation of infantry and cavalry, the training method is mainly based on the coordination of infantry and cavalry.

As one of the sons of the Imperial Army Division, Zhang Qiong's Dragon Guard infantry is equipped with iron armor, which is the most popular armored infantry in this era.

Looking at the spear array lined up by the armored infantry in front of him, Luo Youdu believed that no one would be willing to use cavalry to rush into such an army array!
As the first general to follow him, Zhang Qiong has rich combat experience.

It may be difficult for him to command tens of thousands of troops, but it is more than enough to train and command two thousand soldiers.

After a few words of encouragement, Luo Youdu went to Tianwei Army and Wei Sheng Army in turn.

Chang Side is a veteran of the Imperial Army Division. He also gained a lot of experience in the battle of Huainan, and he already has his own ideas about the training of soldiers. The Tianwei Army is very powerful in his hands.

As for Li Chuyun's Wei Shengjun, Luo Youdu's most promising force.

Dang Jin, Zhang Qiong, Chang Side, and Liu Fu are all brave generals, and Li Chuyun is the most reliable wise general under his command besides Cao Bin and Pan Mei.

Therefore, Li Chuyun has the largest number of guards in his hands, and most of them are crossbowmen.

In the era of cold weapons, the strongest weapon of their Huaxia Dynasty will always be the crossbow.

Although at this moment Khitan has mastered the method of making crossbows, they do not have pure infantry. Cavalry cannot use crossbows on horseback. The most equipped are hand crossbows suitable for use on horseback and bed crossbows for defending cities. .

The crossbow is still the most advantageous weapon belonging to their Central Plains Dynasty.

However, the most taboo thing for a strong crossbowman is to let the opponent get close, especially the Khitan who are all cavalry.

How to cooperate with other generals, how to protect the crossbowman on the battlefield, and how to exert the maximum power of the crossbowman, all these require a general with strong commanding ability to dispatch in front of the battle.

Li Chuyun is both wise and courageous. He has learned a lot under Zhecong Ruan for ten years and has excellent commanding skills. It is the only choice to give him the most lethal but weakest crossbowman.

Facts also proved that Li Chuyun did not live up to Luo Youdu's trust.

Dang Jin, Zhang Qiong, Chang Side, Liu Fu, Li Chuyun, Kang Zaiyu, and Kang Baoyi's father and son, usually command the training of their respective sergeants.

At the beginning, middle, and end of each month, there will be an integrated training for the Royal Camp Division.

Either Cao Bin commanded, or Pan Mei commanded, so as to train the cooperation of the various armies.

According to Cao Bin and Pan Mei's reflections, the Wei Shengjun led by Li Chuyun has repeatedly won the first place.

Under his excellent command, he was able to respond to the dispatch of Cao Bin and Pan Mei in the first time, and cooperate with other armies to arrive at the designated location.

Seeing Li Chuyun commanding Wei Shengjun like fingers, Luo Youdu happily said to Li Chuyun: "Haha, I was a little distressed at first. After all, it is the treasure of the tea sage Lu Yu. Now seeing your performance so excellent, I just want to see you." It can be said to be worth it. Not to mention one celadon tea kettle, so what’s the problem with ten?” Anyway, it’s not expensive.

Li Chuyun was moved, and said: "If you can get the command of the army so well, how dare the last general not try his best!"

Because Liu Fu of the Divine Guard Army was in charge of guarding the imperial city this month and was not in the barracks of the Imperial Army Division, Luo Youdu came to the last Xuanwei Army.

The camp where the Xuanwei Army is located is located in the innermost part of the Imperial Camp, built against the foot of the mountain.

Luo Youdu stepped into the camp, and saw many soldiers of the Xuanwei Army practicing their own skills.

Some are practicing pull-ups, some are playing stone locks, and some are climbing over wooden walls.

The Xuanwei Army's training method is completely different from all previous military training methods.

The other armies practiced the coordination of killing the enemy, but the Xuanwei army mainly focused on single-soldier combat.

In the deepest part of the camp, they also chiseled down the mountain wall and used the mountain wall as a city wall to practice climbing skills.

This Xuanwei army, Luo Youdu's positioning for it is to mainly attack fortified areas, supplemented by surprise soldiers who can climb mountains and ridges and special terrain.

Under these special circumstances, personal strength is more important than cooperation.

Kang Zaiyu and Kang Baoyi, father and son, are staunch and bloody, able to arouse the bloody blood of soldiers who are not afraid of death in a tragic attack, and are most suitable for leading the Xuanwei Army.

Luo Youdu didn't let the guards at the camp gate inform him, when he came to the depths of the military base, Kang Baoyi personally led more than a hundred soldiers to climb the mountain wall.

And Kang Zaiyu sat on the ground, surrounded by more than fifty soldiers chatting and bragging, having fun.

A Xuanwei soldier saw Luo Youdu and reminded Kang Zaiyu.

Kang Zaiyu looked back, his heart sank, and he hurriedly got up to greet Luo Youdu, as if afraid of Luo Youdu's misunderstanding, he explained: "I saw the commanding army, just now my subordinate led the brothers down from the mountain wall and rested here."

　Thank you book friend Tianlin 1993 for the [-] rewards, I am greater than the [-] rewards, thank you for your support!
