The whole night, Liu Deng wrote and drew in the study, and did not come out until dawn.
Seeing that his king stayed up all night in the study, Du Ziteng also stood outside the study all night.
"General Li Guang, how is the recruitment process going? Has it started recently?"
Walking out of the study, Liu Deng stretched, and then asked Du Ziteng beside him.
"It's been over a long time ago. You don't know. I heard that the king was recruiting troops to fight against the Huns. The people were almost crazy with joy. It only took three days to fill the quota of 10,000 people!
"Three days?"
After hearing the news, Liu Deng was stunned. He never expected that the people's voice on behalf of the people would be so high.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know that our country is on the border with the Huns. There is almost no family in the country who has no blood feud with the Huns! As soon as I heard that you were going to attack the Huns, there were people there that night. I queued up and waited outside the recruitment office all night long!”
It seems that I really underestimated Dai Guo. Sure enough, the people of my dynasty are always proud!
Liu Deng was still somewhat moved, but now, with just those 10,000 recruits, he might not be able to do much.
"I haven't slept all night. Do you want to go back and take a rest?"
Looking at Du Ziteng's red eyes, Liu Deng was somewhat moved in his heart.
"My lord, didn't you also stay up all night?"
Du Ziteng didn't answer, but asked instead.
"You kid is getting more and more unruly. Let's go. I'll give you a chance today to have dinner with me. After dinner, go with me to see the army of my country!"
After a long stretch, Liu Deng took Du Ziteng's service, washed his face, changed his clothes, and ate a few mutton buns, followed by a large bowl of rice porridge. Liu Deng took Du Ziteng with him in high spirits. , the two rode out the door.
In order to facilitate training, Li Guang set up the military camp in a valley thirty miles outside the city.
This place is quite hidden. There are soldiers guarding the mountains on both sides. If you don't go up the mountain, you can't see the situation in the valley at all.
"Your Majesty, the Shenwu Army is training. Your Majesty is welcome to review!"
After hearing that Liu Deng was coming, Li Guang hurried over. He was not Zhou Yafu or Zhou Bo. He had the style of one general and one general. Liu Deng couldn't force him on the training methods, but he still wanted to see it. Look, how Li Guang trained his troops.
"Then let them practice. I just want to see what General Li has gained during this period!"
"promise!"
Li Guang was extremely excited. Since he came to Dai Kingdom, he has been treated with such grandeur that even the generals are not as generous as him.
This really put a lot of psychological pressure on him. If he couldn't become famous, he would really feel sorry for Liu Deng.
Today, he was finally able to show Liu Deng the results of his training during this period, and Li Guang was also very proud.
Although these 10,000 people are all new recruits who have just been recruited into the army, each of them has a blood feud with the Huns. After joining the army, everyone trained hard. In just a few days, they have already Very presentable.
Following the guidance of the big flag behind Li Guang, a rumble of war drums suddenly resounded through the valley, and then, the Han troops in strict formation rushed out in chariots.
It is said that a layman can only watch the excitement. Although Liu Deng was not an expert, he also saw the shortcomings of the Han army.
The mobility of chariots is really poor, and the Huns are all cavalry. If the two armies fight, the Han army will naturally be on the defensive, and the Huns, because of their mobility, are basically on the defensive. You can attack if you advance, but if you want to retreat, the Han army will not be able to stop it without using the terrain.
"I wonder how well your Majesty thinks they are trained!"
After showing his results to Liu Deng, Li Guang asked somewhat proudly.
"General Li Guang, you have really fought against the Huns. Let me ask you one thing. If these people are successfully trained, what will be the outcome if they meet the same number of Huns?"
Liu Deng did not answer his question, but asked instead.
"this……"
Li Guang hesitated for a moment. Li Guang was only in his thirties now. He did have some ideas of his own, but right now, they were just simple ideas, and their implementation was still far behind.
"With all due respect, the Huns are all cavalry who come and go like the wind. If the same number of Han troops faced them, except for a few elite troops, the outcome would probably be only 30 to 70..."
This is the real truth, and Li Guang also understands that no matter who hears this, I am afraid they will not be happy.
However, this is the normal state of military power comparison between Han and Hungary.
"Has General Li ever thought about what if we only use tanks for protection and then equip a large number of military crossbows?"
This is the result of Liu Deng's thinking for a night. If compared between the Han Dynasty and the Huns, the Han Dynasty also has its own advantages.
Since the Qin Dynasty, the Han people have been at the absolute peak in weapons manufacturing. However, since the appearance of the Huns, the Han Dynasty's army has suffered repeated defeats. Faced with this kind of all-cavalry battle, the Han Dynasty people Still very uncomfortable.
If you want to defeat the Huns, you need a strong cavalry force, but training cavalry is not such a simple matter.
Putting aside the issue of horses, riding skills alone cannot be practiced in a short time, but Liu Deng does not have that much time. Liu Deng is determined to teach the Huns a lesson during this war.
"What does the king mean?"
Li Guang seemed to understand something, but there was still some confusion in his eyes.
"What do you think we do? The chariots form a circle, waiting for the Huns to attack. Then, the whole army is equipped with crossbows. One hundred people per team, one heavy crossbow for every hundred people, and the rest of the people Use your hand crossbow to destroy the enemy on the way to attack!"
Liu Deng reached out and drew a circle on the ground with his riding crop, and then explained his thoughts to Li Guang.
"But if this is the case, if the Huns come to the car formation, our army may not have the strength to fight back!"
Li Guang was also an old soldier, and he immediately saw the weakness of Liu Deng's tactics.
"If this is the case, what do you think about equipping the soldiers on the periphery with a large number of spears and canceling the original halberds?"
"Spear?"
Seeing Li Guang's confused look, Liu Deng quickly drew the long-haired style in his mind. In fact, this thing is very simple. It is just a gun head and an extended wooden pole. After listening to Liu Deng's description , Li Guang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Your Majesty, if this is the case, how many arrows will be needed to get to this station..."
Li Guang, who was a little excited just now, immediately became sad again. This was not a war at all, but a waste of money.
"Money? You don't have to worry about this. I am so poor that I only have money left."
