159 Drinking Horse Kongyouyi-4
"These musket cavalry are just Yinhu riding horses, not real cavalry at all."
Wang Tongdeng looked at the musket soldiers who were not skilled in riding horses not far away, frowned and said disdainfully, "It's a bunch of Yinhus. It's good to sit firmly right away. Cavalry combat is not possible at all. I am a cavalry commander, I just want a real cavalry." He looked up at Zhao Xingde and said anxiously, "The military situation is urgent. I should give me another real two thousand cavalry soldiers immediately. I will train you to come out, and rush out and attack with a sharp knife, rushing, or sneak attack."
"The soldiers have all taken time," Zhao Xingde didn't think like this, shook his head and said, "Who will support you with food and fodder?"
He looked at the muskets who were performing teams in the distance. Because the muskets were temporarily formed, the military uniforms and armor distributed by the Marine Department were exactly the same as those of the rebels in the River now, and they could not distinguish between enemies and us. Most of the military uniforms of the muskets in the Yinhu muskets were prepared by themselves in various places, and they were difficult to unify in an urgent manner. They could only make the baggage battalion urgently dye a batch of red tassels on their helmets, which looked neat from a distance. Due to the lack of officers, the military discipline and tactics of the muskets in the regiment were always a problem. Zhao Xingde simply dispatched hundreds of soldiers to serve as centuries in the regiment training camp. These soldiers did not use muskets themselves, and were mainly responsible for implementing military disciplines. They selected a group of skilled old muskets as deputy centuries, mainly responsible for repeatedly practicing these raw melon eggs and seeds in accordance with the regulations of the Firearms Division written by Zhao Xingde.
Zhao Xingde's army was in the rules. The regiment's training began at the third update. He carried a musket gun and ammunition belt, and organized the camp under the leadership of the sergeant. After an hour of training, the red sun rose from the mountain. Under the golden sunlight, the flags of each battalion were waving. The square formations formed by the team training were very neatly trained, and there were also excellent battalions, which could be lined up with hundreds or even thousands of people. The queues looked as straight as ink lines from afar. With the command of the captain, it quickly changed from a horizontal formation to a square formation, and then from a square formation to a horizontal formation. The ones were like arm-to-face fingers. Although the colors of the military uniforms were still different, the red tassels on the top of the military helmet were like morning glows in the morning sunlight. The regiment's training time and shouted military horns from time to time, shaking the sky, and the mountains echoed, making it look extremely elite.
"She looks good," Wang Tongdeng said with some contempt, "Five hundred cavalry rushed over and immediately dispersed him."
"The soldiers are the foundation of our dynasty in the river," Zhao Xingde did not argue with him whether the group training could be fought. He shook his head and said, "In the battle of Resha Sea, many soldiers in the river were damaged. The marching department launched a large number of troops. Most of the soldiers who retired from the village in the river were summoned to the west. The hinterland of the river was empty. If it were not for this, many soldiers controlled the county and township, how could the rebels succeed easily."
"Oh," Wang Tongdeng looked dim, and the old wounds on his face became more and more ferocious, "These bastards!"
Zhao Xingde knew that he recalled the miserable defeat of Reshahai again, and reached out to pat his shoulder and sighed: "Soldiers are indeed pillars of the country, but for the Guardian Mansion, the soldiers are even more important. If the Guardian Mansion is a towering tree, the soldiers are its roots. The court can rely on the power of the soldiers to deepen the governance into all aspects of the Daxia. It can be said that the role of the soldiers in the governance of the court is not under the battle for the country, or even on the battlefield. In this situation, the soldiers
If it weren't for the large number of people being taken away, the Guguo Mansion wouldn't have lost control of the place in the river."
At this time, Du Chujiao brought Ma Yuan over and saw Zhao Xingde talking to Wang Tongdeng, so he stood aside and waited.
The two of them were used to being familiar with Zhao Xingde, so Zhao Xingde did not speak and would not take the initiative to avoid it.
If it were in the past, Zhao Xingde would not have talked too much about the internal affairs of Xia State in front of the Song State, but this time Ma Yuan and the Song State subordinates followed him to join the Huwen Xing Camp, and the army had already penetrated into the hinterland of Xia State. If they still did not know the customs of Xia State, they were afraid that there would be many inconveniences in the future. Therefore, on the one hand, Zhao Xingde signaled Du Chujiao, Liu Zhijian and others could privately introduce the general situation of Xia State to the people of the Song State. On the other hand, in order not to cause trouble, even the dispute between the officers of the Song and Xia State, since the Nanhai Navy Army originally said that it had not been held in the Huwen Xing Camp.
"Although the river is empty, there are still many soldiers who stay in the village for our eyes and ears, and for our minions," Zhao Xingde looked at Du and Ma, and nodded slightly, "These people are like maggots for the rebel party. Although the rebel party has been in the river for a long time, there are still some soldiers loyal to the Guru Mansion who stayed in the local area. The land in the river and the people in the river are shared by me. But if we only want to strengthen the military force, forcibly mobilize all the soldiers left in the river to the army through the Guru Mansion, it is tantamount to help the rebels uproot the forces of the Guru Mansion in the river. Huwenxing camp has become a rootless water and a tree without roots."
"Okay, okay," Wang Tongdeng spread his hands helplessly, "You are the General of the Zhu Kingdom and you have the final say."
He and Zhao Xingde had a life-long friendship and were used to it casually, so they had to return to the camp, but Zhao Xingde asked him to stay and listen to Du Chujiao's report together.
"Sir, you're rich!" Du Chujiao couldn't hold it in, and grinned, which made Zhao Xingde and Wang Tongdeng a little strange.
He has this temper. Zhao Xingde looked at Ma Yuan. If it is clear, Ma Yuan will be better.
"According to the general's order," Ma Yuan bowed, "Sergeant inspected warehouses in various places, collected twenty-two three-inch cannons, which had been transported. In addition, there were eight four-inch cannons, which arrived soon. There were four eight-inch cannons, and three ten-inch cannons were on the road, which would be slower."
He said, Du Chujiao nodded with a smile on his face.
Du Chujiao used 300 gunners as the backbone, and expanded the artillery battalion to 1,500 people. He cut logs as gun barrels and used stones as live ammunition, but he couldn't hear the sound. It was really painful to hold back. Because the soldiers were very fast, Zhao Xingde rushed to the river and went twice and didn't carry a single cannon. Du Chujiao's artillery battalion commanded the artillery battalion, which was similar to being in front of bare hands. Although the marching department said that there were artillery ammunition in the river and that the cannon camp could be replenished by then, the river was already in chaos. Who knows if it was there when it was on the ground? Now it's better, it's still true.
"Three-inch cannons, together with the full gunners in the headquarters, are all incorporated into the Dragon Cavalry Camp," Zhao Xingde looked at Du Chujiao's expression with interest and cried almost instantly, shook his head and smiled, "All heavy cannons above four inches are left for you." He looked at Ma Yuan, "You go back to the cavalry, follow General Wang, and be the commander of the Dragon Cavalry Cannon Battalion."
Wang Tongdeng stood aside, God
The cavalry was indifferent, and it was a surprise that the cavalry was incorporated into the artillery camp. Ma Yuan was a cavalry general for generations. Among the generals of the Song army, he had a rare skill in archery and horse skills. In the camp, he had also competed with the cavalry generals of the Xia army several times. In terms of martial arts alone, it was not worse than that of the Xia army generals. However, that was only Ma Yuan's personal ability. Whether this group of gunners could be incorporated into the cavalry was another matter. The speed would definitely slow down the cavalry. The gains and losses had to be calculated slowly.
Zhao Xingde did not allow him to think, and said to Wang Tongdeng: "A group of cavalry-good musketeers were selected from the training camps of each regiment. Eight battalions have been organized and trained for a while, and they will be supplemented with you. You should integrate these people as soon as possible and be sure to command Ruyi. In terms of the musketeers, Ma Yuan is experienced and will give you the same position as the commander of the marching. Listen to his formations." He spoke very fast, and Wang Tongdeng just nodded to agree. In this way, his cavalry, dragon cavalry and dragon cavalry battalions combined have a total of 15,000 horses, and at least 20,000 horses, which can be called the elite of the guard Wenxing camp. It is obviously necessary to stand alone in the future.
"How much does it take to blow the horns? Double the manpower, continue to expand the artillery battalion, and prepare to receive the heavy artillery shipped."
Zhao Xingde's military order blocked Du Chujiao's complaints.
The army was dedicated to the order. Since Zhao Xingde made up his mind, he must have some considerations. Everyone could only carry out the execution separately. Du Chujiao was just a pity that a group of gunners who had been trained were pulled away. As for official positions and authority, Du Chujiao didn't think much about it. Since he was from Chengying with Zhao Xingde, even if he was transferred to the Firearms Department, he would be in Chengying Army. According to the Xia State military system, the powerful regiment trained not sergeants, even if there were thousands of soldiers. In terms of actual status, the status of the general in command of the commander of the State Guardian State was not as good as the captain of the Guardian Mansion who led 500 soldiers.
In the next ten days, Zhao Xingde only held his troops and focused on training the soldiers gathered from all over the country into an army.
There is no sun or moon in the army, and ten days pass by in a flash.
Under Chen Ang's urging, Kang Hengming, the king of Kang State, led an army of 150,000 and set out from Kangju City to approach Huwenxing Camp. It is rumored outside that Kang Hanzhi was afraid of Zhao Xingde's reputation in a hundred battles and did not dare to lead troops. He repeatedly asked King Kang or Chen Ang to lead troops to attack Gushang City, but Chen Ang personally drove back to Kangju and scolded him. Kang Hanzhi still insisted on not being willing to lead troops. In desperation, Kang Hengming could only lead troops himself, with an army of 150,000.
He marched towards Gushang City almost step by step. In fact, Kang Hanzhi was a lieutenant of the Huamao Army, but later because he was good at artillery siege, he was appointed as the general of the Firearms Division by the lieutenant's office. Almost all the training of the firearms regiments in the river were Kang Han's hands. He himself was the best general in the river who was good at firearms. If it weren't for Kangju City to keep people in the formation, Chen Ang would have wanted to transfer Kang Hanzhi to the city under Dayuan City to attack the city with artillery.
As Kang Hengming left Dayuan, other rumors spread. It was said that King Kang's prince Chen Kang was assassinated, which aroused mutual suspicion from King Kang and Regent Chen Ang. So Kang Hengming angrily left Chen Ang’s military camp under Dayuan City, and returned to Kang State to lead a large army, preparing to first solve the worries about protecting Wenxing camp, and then settle accounts with Regent Chen Ang. At this time, rumors spread in the river, but the news under Dayuan City was still not clear. Only know that Regent Chen Ang has been supervising the battle for several days, and there were heavy casualties on the city and under the city.
