Chapter eight hundred and sixty fifth drill
There is an old Weicheng in Changsha Prefecture, more than 70 miles northwest of Changsha. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan appointed Cheng Pu as the commander of the western capital of Changsha County to prevent Guan Yu, so he established this city.
In order to train cavalry and obtain his own cavalry unit, Li Jia asked Liu Guangyi and Cao Bin to serve as cavalry teachers, thus obtaining a real team.
At this time, a green grassland was now covered with dust. Groups of cavalry were moved from the formation according to the order of the system. A large herd of horses, about three or four thousand cavalry, moved slowly on the grassland, surging from the wilderness like floods.
Opposite the wilderness is a phalanx of infantry, with swords and shields in front of them, and a large shield about five feet long is erected, like an indestructible city wall, without fear of the cavalry.
Cao Bin and Liu Guangyi climbed up and looked at it. Under the monocular telescope, everything was clear at a glance. Liu Guangyi couldn't help but smile and said, "Although the infantry lined up quickly, it was just a bluff. From this thousand-mile mirror, the soldiers were already panicked. After all, infantry is infantry, and the only one who can deal with cavalry is cavalry."
"With that being said, the soldiers of the Imperial Camp are much more powerful and react quickly. As long as they are not messed up, the cavalry will naturally not be able to withstand the hedgehogs. Let's take a closer look!"
Cao Bin said seriously.
"You are right. The soldiers in the Imperial Camp are extremely armored, about 90%. They are indeed a turtle shell, and the impact on the cavalry is smaller." Liu Guangyi said with a frown.
And, just as the cavalry approached the imperial camp, the arrows above the sky ahead were like rain, like raindrops, but the cavalry were not afraid at all. They were also armed with armor, with horse hooves roaring, and some of the horses were about to rush, and they became even more excited.
The cavalry behind also accelerated, and the horses moved rapidly, as if they were huge waves in the sea, and dust filled the air.
Since ancient times, the use of footsteps to control cavalry has relied on formations. As long as the front troops remain unchaotic, withstand pressure, and withstand sharp crossbows, they can turn the cavalry into overturning their horses.
Of course, the arrow clusters were all gone, and the harm was not great.
This is the first time that the Imperial Camp has seen such a large cavalry, and there are even fewer cavalry in the south. At this time, when they see the dust flying and the ground shaking, many people can't help but look panic, feeling like an inconspicuous stone that will easily be trampled off.
The desire to survive made their fingers relax a lot. Deep in their hearts, they were eager to throw away their weapons and escape and survive.
Those senior generals and college students naturally knew the consequences of the failure of the exercise. Even though they were panicked, they still shouted to appease the morale of the army.
At this time, the Imperial Camp had an orderly military officer system, and the ups and downs were issued. The morale of the military police finally calmed down.
"Boom--" The cavalry seemed to be a sharp knife, easily breaking the shield defense line, and then charged continuously while the infantry gritted their teeth, waving the wooden knife to kill, and the cavalry changed from a thin line to a trickle, and then turned into a huge surge, directly eroding the entire infantry formation.
Even though the infantry gritted their teeth and the officers shouted back and forth, the power of the cavalry was no longer accessible to human power. The cavalry was like a tank, with the momentum of Mount Tai and the armor and armor, and the infantry inevitably divided into two halves.
From a distance, it is not clear how the two armies clash.
"Your Majesty, this war horse is expensive. Such a drill will probably be a lot of damage!" On the side, the left army general Pan Chongche said with grief.
"I'm not afraid, just a few horses. Now there are some horses in Liaodong and Bohai. Moreover, some of them have cultivated some good horses on Jeju Island. These Khitan horses will be used for the best use and will not be wasted."
The emperor disregarded himself and said softly: "The imperial camp has always been pampering, getting the best salary, eating the best food, and fully equipped. He reported on weekdays that he had become an elite soldier with strict training."
"Now, in less than a moment, the entire formation has been interspersed and split. How can I fight?"
"Mingjin will withdraw the troops!"
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Camp has not retreated. It is enough time to form an army."
Li Xin came out of the imperial guards and the failure of the imperial camp made him feel that the army under his command seemed to be different from the imperial camp. Wouldn't it mean that if he faced cavalry, it would be like this?
"What are you still struggling with? If you fail, you will fail. If you face it again in the future, it's just the beginning anyway!"
Li Jia shook his head indifferently and said, "The Imperial Camp has been in Changsha Palace for a long time and has not been tempered. No matter how good the training is, it is not useful. Only by sharpening the knife from the war can we grow."
"Before, Yang Shifu's troops arrived at Xiangzhou City, but fortunately retreated in time, he did not encounter the cavalry of the Song State. With the current situation of the imperial camp, wouldn't it be defeated and unable to form an army? If they pursued them closely, they would probably be taken away by Jingnan Prefecture."
"I'm waiting for ten thousand deaths!" Several governors looked guilty.
This infantry and cavalry battle was planned by them personally. The defeat was too fast.
"Get up!" Li Jia's face remained unchanged, but instead scolded: "This has been tainted with the atmosphere of literati. If you die, why don't you die? It's a drama of retreating to advance. Don't fiddle with me in the future."
"No——" When these words were said, the few governors looked blue and purple, and they didn't know how to respond, so they could only agree.
After Mingjin withdrew his troops, the cavalry and infantry dispersed from their anxious postures, and some even fired out real fire. They forgot that this was an exercise, and the officer with a clear expression quickly dissuaded.
Li Jia also saw this scene at this time. When he approached, he saw three horses sniffing and stomping their feet anxiously. Their owner was fighting with a man about two meters.
In the case of three against one, the giant man was not wearing armor, but he was extremely powerful and had no difficulty in dealing with it, and he had the advantage.
The three cavalrymen attacked left and right, as if they were falling, but they could not get it well when facing such a giant man.
You should know that cavalry is an elite unit selected from the imperial guards. They are tall and strong, and often fight against three, but now three people cannot defeat one.
In the end, five or six people pulled the big man apart, but in vain, they affected the fish in the pond. In the end, more than ten people barely held it, alleviating the conflict.
"Good fight!" The emperor looked at it for a while, clapped his hands, and approached the giant man. Isn't this a natural fierce general?
"What's your name?"
"Go back to Your Majesty, my name is Zhang Dameng." The giant man replied honestly.
"It's a powerful general's material."
With a sigh of praise, the emperor left, leaving behind a group of soldiers stunned, while the governors on the side sighed: What a lucky boy...
