Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 344
A thousand armored cavalry lined up in front of Luo Cheng. They were mighty and fierce, with a murderous look all over their bodies.This thousand riders was pulled together by Luo Cheng's painstaking efforts. From the first ten riders to the current one thousand riders, one step at a time, each expansion is not easy.

Holding the black swallowtail flag in his hand, Shi Xin puffed out his chest and shouted loudly, "The Fearless Stormtrooper accepts the inspection by the general!"

These thousand cavalry came from all over the country, including fellow Tuan brothers from Zhangqiu and Changbai, veteran soldiers from Qi County, warriors recruited from Hebei, and elites selected from Zhuo County. The strong soldiers and elite cavalry transferred from Yanyunqi and Li Jing in western Liaoning are still part of the barbarian cavalry from Khitan, Mohe, Turkic, Shiwei and other tribes.

But they all have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely sturdy and brave.

Luo Cheng nodded in satisfaction.

He has one advantage, that is, no matter where everyone is from, he is willing to use as long as they are truly talented, and he doesn't have too much opinion on sects.For example, Murong Changsheng, Yu Chiliang, and Shi Meng were originally seconded by Yan Yunqi, Feng Xiaoci and Hou Mo Chen Yi belonged to Li Jing, and there are many Hebei soldiers and even tribal soldiers, no matter where they come from, as long as they are willing Fighting side by side, Luo Chengcheng will not hesitate to reuse.

On the other hand, Luo Cheng also puts a lot of emphasis on his old brothers, such as his brothers Shixin, Cunxiao, and Siye. He has always put as many important positions as he can.Little brothers like Du Fuwei and Fu Gonghu are also trustworthy.

But Luo Cheng also has his bottom line in employing people, that is, only those who are talented will be hired.He has no skills, even if he is an old brother, he won't use it too much. For example, Wang Ziming is his second brother-in-law, and he was the first batch to follow him. But now in the army, among the bureaucrats around Luo Cheng, the one who needs to be reused the most is instead It was Wei Zheng and Hou Mo Chen Yi, the reason was that these two were stronger than Wang Ziming, so he used them more.

"Fearless charge is very appropriate, but it's still not aggressive enough to match your current fierce fighting power." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Murong Changsheng, the deputy general of the heavy cavalry regiment, said loudly, "Please give the regiment number!"

"Shi Xin, you are the leader of the army, what title do you think is good?" Luo Cheng asked Xiao Liu.

Luo Shixin shook his head blankly.

On the contrary, Murong Changsheng said, "The general thinks the name of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard rider in the Three Kingdoms period is very powerful."

Xiao Liu nodded, "Hu Bao Qi is a good name, but I think Mu Niu Liu Ma is also very nice." Xiao Liu seems to have a special liking for cattle, and he likes anything with cattle.

"What is a wooden cow and a horse?" Now it was Murong Changsheng's turn to be at a loss.

Xiao Liudao, "Wooden cows and horses were invented by Zhuge Liang, the great prime minister of the Shu Han Dynasty during the Three Kingdoms period. Wooden cows and horses are made of wood. They can walk on their own and carry food without being driven by humans."

"Is there?" Murong Changsheng was dubious.

"Fifth brother told me, there must be."

Luo Cheng could only smile, he had told Xiao Liu about the Three Kingdoms before, but there was no Romance of the Three Kingdoms in this era, and most people had read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but Romance of the Three Kingdoms was not as exciting as Romance.

Instead, Wei Zheng smiled and said beside him, "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms and Zhuge Liang's biography written by Chen Shou, a native of Jin, do have this record. It is said that in the ninth year of Jianxing, Liang returned to Qishan. I learned that the masses came out from Xiegu, transported by flowing horses, and according to Wuzhangyuan of martial arts, they fought against Weinan with King Sima Xuan."

"Wei Sima really has a good memory, and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has also casually said, that's amazing." Murong Changsheng praised, "But is there really such a powerful wooden cow and horse?"

Wei Zhengdao, "Actually, this wooden ox and horse is just a kind of transportation tool with a cargo box, which is a combination of human walking or wheeling, or a combination of walking and wheeling. Just like the deer carts used by the peasants in the Eastern Expedition, the deer carts have no deer, but just human carts." .”

Xiao Liu said dissatisfiedly, "Nonsense, my fifth brother told me that the Mu Niu Liu Ma is a kind of mechanical puppet. It is controlled by a mechanism. It is very good. It is not a wheeled cart."

Wei Zheng also knew that the Sixth General was a bit confused sometimes, so he didn't argue.

On the contrary, Luo Chengdao said, "Since you like the name Mu Niu Liuma, Xiao Liu, then the heavy cavalry regiment will use Mu Niu Liuma as their bugle number."

Murong Changsheng only felt thunder rolling over his head.

A heavy armored cavalry regiment armed to the teeth, both men and horses wearing heavy armor, is actually called Mu Niu Liu Ma?This is confusing. How many people can know that this is a heavy cavalry, and the name will not have the effect of deterring the enemy.

He felt that the name of this wooden ox and horse was similar to the name of the baggage car corps.

But Luo Cheng has already decided so.

Although the name of the tiger and leopard rider is mighty, but since Xiao Liu likes wooden cows and horses, let's use wooden cows and horses.

"Thank you Fifth Brother." Shi Xin said a little happily, "From now on, my heavy cavalry regiment will be called Mu Niu Liu Ma Tuan."

Shi Xin also divided his [-] heavy cavalry into two battalions, the Muniu Heavy Cavalry Battalion and the Liuma Heavy Cavalry Battalion.

Murong Changsheng felt very distressed, but seeing Luo Shixin's happy face, he could only hold back.

"General, the fifth army on the left reported five light cavalry regiments, six infantry regiments, and eight supply regiments, but now there are actually five light cavalry regiments, one heavy cavalry regiment and one heavy infantry Modao regiment. , can we do this?"

It was reported that five light cavalry regiments had a total of [-] light cavalry, but Luo Cheng actually owned [-] light cavalry and [-] heavy cavalry, which were not reported at all.

Not to mention, besides six infantry regiments with 2000 soldiers, Luo Cheng also concealed a Modao heavy infantry regiment with a full strength of 2000.

The original 4 Zuo Fifth Army actually had 4000 people, not only an increase of [-] heavy cavalry and heavy steps, but also a chariot regiment of [-] people.

"What does it matter? First, we didn't ask the imperial court for staffing, and secondly, we didn't ask the imperial court for equipment. We didn't even ask for food and grass. We all settled on our own. Even the extra soldiers were all Han people from Liaodong and locals. Is it necessary to report those recruited by the Hu tribe?" Luo Cheng asked.

Wei Zheng also looked fearless, "It's better not to report, there will definitely be a lot of troubles, and even extra problems. Since we have enough food, grass, weapons, and people, it's not a big deal to get a few thousand more soldiers. We have to Going south to Pyongyang and desperately going deep into the enemy's territory for thousands of miles, that's hard work with your head up, and we are not allowed to increase our strength."

Murong Changsheng didn't bother to talk when he saw that they looked like they were not afraid of anything.

Since the coach is not afraid, then what else is he afraid of? Even in his heart, he is faintly excited. Anyway, the number of the left fifth army was reported to be 3000, but it actually numbered 4.

Not to mention that there are [-] light cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] heavy skirmishers, and now there are [-] heavy cavalry, [-] heavy infantry, and [-] chariot regiments.
