"Luo Tongjun!"

Dang Jin completed this round of training, rode his horse up to him, jumped off his horse and went to meet him, his rough face that looked like Zhang Fei from the novel turned into a flower when he smiled.

Luo Youdu couldn't help but smile to himself when he saw Dang Jin like this.

This guy is simple and rigorous, and he has the intention of flattering, but he doesn't have the means to do it. He just squeezes his big black face into a flattering look.

The beard on that face was straightened out like a hedgehog due to facial distortion. Even though he was smiling, he still showed a fierce look. If you were timid, you might even cry in fear.

"well-done!"

Luo Youdu first gave Dang Jin appropriate encouragement. For a person with this kind of character, being strict with him would not have an obvious effect. It would be better to encourage him directly to make him more motivated: "In just half a month, Long Xiangjun will be in shape."

"Do you know why you are asked to practice this masked assault? Instead of just sprinting normally?"

Dang Jin said: "That's because the Khitans are good at riding and shooting. When they charge, they will shoot us from a distance. We have helmets on our heads and chainmail on our bodies, so our faces are unprotected and we have to use protective gear."

Block it with your wrist."

"Yes, that's right! This first step has been completed very well. Next, you have to learn to control the speed."

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

Dang Jin said proudly: "He is no match for me in a mounted battle. I'll see if I can fight on foot. His pace is too fast. If his subordinates cannot win for a while, they will easily lose their physical strength."

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

Dang Jin gestured three times and said: "Look for an opportunity. As long as you find the opportunity, just attack fiercely. If you win, you will win. If you let him hold on, you will lose. You will have no strength to fight again."

Luo Youdu clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "For the same reason, fighting against the Khitan cavalry is like fighting against Kang Baoyi. He is fast and attacking rashly will only consume his own physical strength. It is better to remain unchanged in response to changes and save money."

Physical strength, seize the opportunity, and win quickly."

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

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

Luo Youdu continued: "If they want to run away, we have to chase them. The only way to defeat them is to catch up with them before we run out of energy. In a head-on fight, they are no match for us."

"Their cavalry will not retreat before entering their range. There is no need to waste too much energy on the horses before entering their range. Just increase the speed."

"Only after we enter the shooting range and the Khitan cavalry shoots the arrows in their hands, they will retreat. The best opportunity is to take advantage of the fast speed and explosive power of our horses at the moment they shoot the arrows and prepare to retreat.

, catch up with them.”

Dang Jin understood and said loudly: "General, I understand, it's just like fighting. You don't need to be faster than the other party, just be faster than them at the critical moment."

Luo Youdu put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Dangdu Hou Yu has a good understanding, that's why."

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

The actual power of the commander of the Longxiang Army is currently held by Cao Bin, the Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Royal Camp.

These are also Du Yuhou, one is Du Yuhou of Longxiang Army, and the other is Du Yuhou of Yuying Division. The difference cannot be calculated by reason.

Dang Jin said excitedly: "My subordinates understand, the next step is to practice sprinting within one arrow."

Luo Youdu gave a thumbs up, indicating that he was awesome: He knows how to draw inferences from one example.

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

But one thing is undoubted. The main offensive methods of the Khitan cavalry are mounted shooting and kite flying.

They will only choose to fight head-on when their opponents reveal a flaw, or when they sneak up from behind to attack, or when they are entangled by the enemy.

However, the size and strength of the Khitan horses are not on the same level as the regular war horses of the Central Plains. Generally speaking, they will only suffer a loss in a head-on confrontation.

Of course they can buy the big horses, and the Khitans can also buy the Liangzhou horses.

The Khitan had left and right iron kite troops on the grassland. Different from the Xixia iron kite, the Xixia iron kite was a heavy cavalry, with both men and horses wearing armor, while the Khitan iron kite army only had soldiers wearing armor, and they galloped lightly, like kites.

Fighting birds.

But compared to the Central Plains cavalry, which is almost all Liangzhou horses, the number of Khitan horses is not too many, only a few thousand.

Because Liangzhou horses are far less hardworking than Khitan horses and cannot withstand the harsh climate in the Northeast, they will easily get sick and die.

At that time, Li Shimin personally conquered Goguryeo, captured ten cities including Liaodong, captured more than 70,000 households, and killed more than 40,000 Goguryeo soldiers. The Tang army lost only a few thousand people in battle, but lost seventy-eight tenths of its horses. This is why.

The harsh climate in the Northeast makes Liangzhou and Malaysia unaccustomed to the climate.

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

They can't bear it now.

It was only when Liao Jingzong Yelvxian and Empress Dowager Xiao came to power and the Liao Kingdom was at its peak that they could afford to support the Tielin Army.

The current Khitan tactics are still based on maneuvering and detours, supplemented by bow and arrow attacks.

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

Simple and practical.

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

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

As a mixed formation of infantry and cavalry, the Dragon Guard's training method is mainly based on the combination of infantry and cavalry.

As one of the biological sons of Yuyingsi, Zhang Qiong's Dragon Guard infantry was equipped with a suit of iron armor, which was the most popular armored infantry in this era.

Looking at the spear formation of the armored infantry in front of him, Luo Youdu believed that no one would be willing to use cavalry to charge into such a military formation!

As the first general to follow him, Zhang Qiong had rich combat experience.

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

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

Chang Side is a veteran of the Royal Camp Division. He also gained a lot of experience in the Huainan War and already has his own experience and philosophy on the training of soldiers. The Tianwei Army is very powerful in his hands.

As for Li Chuyun's Holy Guard Army, it is Luo Youdu's most optimistic force.

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

Therefore, Li Chuyun had the largest number of Holy Guard troops, and most of them were crossbowmen.

In the age of cold weapons, the most powerful weapon in their Chinese royal city was always the crossbow.

Although the Khitans have mastered the method of making powerful crossbows at this moment, they do not have pure infantry. The cavalry cannot use the crossbow on horseback. The most equipped ones are hand crossbows suitable for use on horseback and bed crossbows for city defense.

.

The crossbow is still the most advantageous weapon for their Central Plains dynasty.

However, the most taboo thing for the crossbowmen is to let the opponent get close, especially the Khitans who are all cavalry.

How to cooperate with other generals, how to protect the crossbowmen on the battlefield, and how to maximize the power of the crossbowmen, all of these require generals with strong command skills to make preparations on the battlefield.

Li Chuyun is both wise and brave. He has learned a lot under Zhe Cong Ruan for ten years and has excellent commanding abilities. It is the only choice to hand over the most lethal but weakest crossbowman to him.

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, Kang Baoyi and his son, usually command the training of their respective sergeants.

At the beginning, middle, and end of every month, an integrated training of the Royal Camp Division will be conducted.

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

According to the reactions of Cao Bin and Pan Mei, the Holy Guard Army led by Li Chuyun repeatedly came out on top.

Under his excellent command, he was able to respond to Cao Bin and Pan Mei's dispatches as soon as possible and cooperate with other armies to arrive at the designated location.

Seeing Li Chuyun commanding the Holy Guard Army like a master, Luo Youdu happily said to Li Chuyun: "Haha, I was a little distressed at first. After all, it is the treasure of Tea Saint Lu Yu. Now seeing that you are performing so well, I can only

I can say it’s worth it. Not to mention one celadon tea cauldron, what’s the harm if there are ten of them?” It’s not expensive anyway.

Li Chuyun, however, looked moved and said: "How can the general dare not not fight to the death if he can have such a good friend from the commander of the army!"

Because Liu Fu of the Divine Guards, who was in charge of guarding the imperial city this month, was not in the military camp of Yuyingsi, Luo Youdu came to the last Xuanwei Army.

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

Luo Youdu walked into the camp and saw many soldiers of the Xuanwei Army practicing their own tactics.

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

The training methods of the Xuanwei Army are completely different from all previous military training methods.

While other armies practiced cooperation in killing the enemy, the Xuanwei Army mainly engaged in individual combat.

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

This Xuanwei Army, Luo Youdu positioned it as a special force that mainly attacks fortified areas and is supplemented by special troops that cross mountains and ridges.

In these special circumstances, personal strength is more important than coordination.

When Kang met again, Kang Baoyi and his father and son were fierce and bloody, able to inspire soldiers to be brave and fearless in bloody attacks, and were most suitable for leading the Xuanwei Army.

Luo Youdu did not let the guards at the camp gate report, and when they reached the depths of the army, Kang Baoyi personally led more than a hundred soldiers to climb the mountain wall.

Kang Zaiyu, on the other hand, was sitting on the ground, surrounded by more than fifty soldiers chatting and bragging happily.

A soldier of the Xuanwei Army saw Luo Youdu and alerted Kang Zaiyu.
