Chapter 76 The Stimulated Hussar Camp
"Sorry!"

There was a sound of hooves, and the horses galloped.

On a wide river beach south of Xishan Town, hundreds of scarecrows poked irregularly on the ground, and a row of ten noble recruits rode war horses, galloping through it at a not too fast speed, their hands raised from time to time. The long knife cut the scarecrow to the ground.

There are occasional misses, but the speed of the horse has been maintained.

After this row of noble recruits passed by on horseback, 30 meters away, the second row of ten noble recruits continued to rush past at the same speed.

Then the third row, the fourth row...

On the side, Li Xin led ten newly promoted cavalry squadrons from the hussar battalion to follow closely, constantly pointing out the shortcomings of a certain recruit and advising them how to maintain their formation.

"Idiot! It doesn't matter whether you can cut the enemy, the important thing is to maintain the speed of the horse, cavalry cavalry, no horse, just a fart cavalry, remember, the horse is your leg, your brother, can you survive on the battlefield , whether you can defeat the enemy, half depends on your fighting skills, and half depends on your riding skills."

"On the battlefield, every cavalryman must be clear-eyed and predict the surrounding situation in advance. Every detail of your comrades, your enemies, and even the situation on the nearby battlefield will affect your life. life and death."

"Now, don't think about killing the enemy, first establish a tacit understanding with your horse, and then establish a tacit understanding with your comrades, where is everyone, whose horse is faster, what is the enemy like, what should you do? Break through."

"Who is going to cover for whom, and whose attack position is the best, these must be clear at a glance, and you can't block the way of your companions in order to kill the enemy, so that the entire attack formation will come to a standstill."

"Remember, cavalry is mobile. When charging, we must be torrents, but cavalry who can run and run even after killing the enemy are called torrents!"

"I'll say it again. Consciousness is very important. Have you all seen how the grandsons of the Hundred Battles Camp fought yesterday? They can have 50 people as one, 50 people as one, who is in which position, who should defend, who Who is in charge of attacking, who is in charge of covering, the whole process is smooth and smooth, that is called torrent!"

Li Xin's roar even overwhelmed the sound of horses' hoofs, and he still felt a little resentful, but it was not because of these recruits, let alone because of Li Si, but because Dong Er was stunned by the fifty sets of iron full-body armor originally belonging to the hussar battalion. The grandson had his beard cut off.

Now there are 116 heavy armored knights in the Hussar Battalion, all of them can wear heavy armor, and horses wear horse armor. As a result, only 46 people are equipped now, and the next batch of equipment will take at least a few days.

But there is one thing to say, the battle fought by the Hundred Battle Battalion yesterday was really exciting.

It also shocked Li Xin a lot. He even simulated it several times in his mind using the Baizhan Battalion as an imaginary enemy. It turned out that Dong Erdai's combat method of combining infantry with crossbowmen was quite tricky. When fighting in the mountains, if he encounters them in the wild, his only way is to trap the opponent to death, exhaust the opponent, cut off the food and grass, and only then can he break through the army formation of the Hundred Battle Battalion.

"Using one's own weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths is what the wise will not take."

Li Xin is not a dead-headed man, let alone impulsive. As a cavalry soldier, it would be shameful to be reduced to being compared with infantry soldiers.

At this moment, while he was training the new recruits, he was also discussing tactics with the ten newly promoted cavalry squadrons. There were family-handed tactics, his own experience, and reading about the famous general Lu Feng. The experience of the book of war left behind.

"The essence of cavalry is maneuvering and charging!"

"But not all cavalry have to be highly maneuverable. Letting heavy cavalry maneuver is courting death. And if the conditions are not suitable, order cavalry to charge. No matter light cavalry or heavy cavalry, they are all idiots."

"Assess the situation! Be sensitive to the subtle changes on the battlefield."

"His Royal Highness changed the heavy cavalry battalion to the hussar battalion. Presumably it is because of this expectation."

Li Xin complimented Li Si every day, and only then did he tell his plan.

"My Dayan is dominated by heavy armored cavalry. When the country was founded, Taizu had [-] heavy armored cavalry under his command, but later due to various reasons, the heavy armored cavalry declined. I am not qualified to say anything about this, but now my hussars battalion has no Enough heavy armor, horse armor, so I thought of an expedient plan."

"That is, the hussar battalion temporarily set up a heavy cavalry team and a light cavalry team."

"Heavy armored cavalry requires strong horses. Cavalry on horseback can skillfully master weapons such as lances, sabers, flails, and hammers. From now on, they will only be responsible for heavy cavalry. Each knight can have two swordsman attendants, and will never be responsible for high mobility. kind of task."

"The light armored cavalry team requires good horse handling and superb riding skills. I will lead it personally and be responsible for harassment, support, and strategic maneuvers."

There is a reason for Li Xin to make the following tactical adjustments.

His war horse has been strengthened and is capable of charging and maneuvering. Even in a state of heavy armor, he can run fifty miles in one go.

If it is in a light armor state, there is no pressure to run a hundred miles.

But this kind of reinforcement is rare.

So far, only twelve grassland horses under his command have been strengthened to a certain extent. Even so, they are much stronger than ordinary grassland horses.

To be honest, it is not impossible to let them charge into battle, but it is really a waste.

If he led the team based on the twelve strengthened prairie horses, then within a radius of [-] miles of the battlefield, he could intersperse at will and maneuver at high speed.

This is more suitable for Li Xin's personality, and he thinks that he is more competent in grasping the battlefield environment and changes in the battle situation.

On the contrary, heavy cavalry charge is very simple.

"In the future, maybe I can suggest to His Highness that heavy cavalry and light cavalry should be separated. Heavy cavalry is like a knife, which is powerful and heavy, so you need to conserve your strength. Once you attack, the sky will fall apart. Light cavalry is like a sword. Keep wandering around, grasp the opportunity quickly, if you miss a hit, you will immediately flee away."

-

While Li Xin was adjusting the cavalry tactics inside the Hussar Battalion, Li Si was also checking his secret workshop in the secret room on the mountain side of the Lu family compound.

This was originally a mountainside secret room built by the famous general Lu Feng in his later years. It may be due to the lack of security of an old general. In short, being here will give you a sense of security.

Four retainers of the Xishan Lu family were captured by Zhou Yue before. Their ancestors were the followers of the old general Lu Feng, and they lived in seclusion here together with the old general. Their descendants were trained as various high-level craftsmen.

However, the existence of retainers is really a kind of bug, and coercion and temptation are not easy to use. Even if their family is in Li Si's hands, they refuse to cooperate.

It is clear that the whole family is going to die.

After a few days, no one can do anything.

"Your Highness, this subordinate is incompetent, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Tang Qi, chief officer of the criminal department, looked ashamed, he was really at his wit's end.

"It's okay, I can't blame you for this matter, but you didn't use the punishment, did you?" Li Si was also anxious, after all, there were 4 level 5 craftsmen but they couldn't be used, which is very painful.

But even so, he still has a bottom line, that is, he cannot use punishment.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the subordinates did not dare to use torture, but it was just threats with words, which really didn't work well."

"Okay, the lonely king wants to talk to them personally."

Li Si strode into the secret room at the belly of the mountain, and fifty personal guards quickly took control of every vital point. This secret room is quite large, it can no longer be regarded as a secret room, and the air-raid shelter is nothing more than that.

The total area should be as large as two basketball courts, divided into two floors and three areas.

There are two areas on the upper floor, one can be used for daily living, and it also has lighting, ventilation holes, fresh air, and a large amount of food and supplies can be stored.

The second is in the deepest part of the mountain, where there is a huge furnace connected to the ground. This place is just behind Beishan Mountain, so it is very hidden and easy to emit smoke.

The lower floor is the material storage warehouse, plus a level 5 armor casting workshop and a level 5 weapon forging workshop, which can accommodate more than 50 craftsmen to operate.

In a sense, this place is not suitable for large-scale weapon manufacturing, but it is definitely suitable for making magical weapons or secret weapons.

But now it is quiet here, the four old men are sitting there, looking very good, they eat when they are given, drink when they are given, and sleep when they want to sleep, not to mention how comfortable they are.

But if you want us to surrender to work, go dreaming.

To be honest, this kind of stingy attitude is very painful.

Li Si also thought over and over again, and then he came to deal with it himself.
