Looking at the child's innocent eyes, Zhao Yong couldn't help but smile. It seemed that the little guy liked this name very much.
After naming the child, Zhao Yongneng clearly felt a lightness on his body, as if the curse that fate had placed on him was lifted at this moment.
For Zhao Zheng's growth, he only hopes to accompany him too much, but the warm moments are always short-lived. In this era where war is the main theme, a king's laxity is the original sin.
He didn't want to lose more because of temporary indulgence.
After having dinner with the girls, in the afternoon, the laughter of the women and children quickly faded away.
After returning to the assembly hall, Zhao Yong was busy reviewing several important memorials, then changed his clothes, and then headed out of Handan City surrounded by a group of mounted guards.
He went all the way to Beishan Camp and inspected the new recruits who were training.
Since the beginning of spring, Zhao Guo has once again mobilized more than 20,000 standing troops in various counties and counties to prepare for military war.
Zhao Yong did not let the guards report in advance. He rode his horse all the way up to the earth platform of the camp and looked down at the military formations being drilled below.
Flags were being hunted on the school grounds, the wind blew by, and sand and rocks suddenly flew on the platform. Accompanied by shouts, footsteps, and the neighing of horses, Zhao Yong felt as if he had returned to the battlefield for a moment.
Zhao Yong narrowed his eyes. Under the flying dust, he could no longer distinguish between soldiers and generals. A group of more than a hundred armored infantry could be seen in Mohu. Under the waving of brightly colored military flags, they quickly formed a circle. Array. The soldiers who were still scattered around them quickly moved closer as if they had seen the lights. Within a moment, they formed a circle outside the formation.
He suddenly heard Pang Nuan shouting: "Change the formation, attack." But he only heard his voice and did not see him.
'Rumble! 'Then at the end of his gaze, a rapid and rhythmic sound of horse hooves came from the dust and mist.
When the dust cleared a little, he could finally see Pang Nuan galloping from the center of the cavalry. Pang Nuan put his hands on his bow and stared at the waiting formation in front of him with burning eyes.
If you look closely, you can see that there are not many cavalry, only about a hundred cavalry. But in addition to most of the light cavalry, there are also dozens of heavy cavalry with riding equipment.
More than a hundred light and heavy combined cavalry were divided into five rows.
Two columns of armored cavalry were in front, and three columns of light cavalry were behind.
About five hundred steps away from the battle between infantry and cavalry, three rows of light cavalry suddenly passed over the heavy cavalry and slowly advanced forward.
Zhang Yuan, who served as the infantry captain, looked at the approaching cavalry, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shouted loudly: "The enemy cavalry is attacking, hold on!"
Under Zhang Yuan's loud orders, the hundred generals and ten generals in the military formation issued orders one after another.
The soldiers in the front row squatted down half-crouched, stood up their long swords diagonally, stepped on the tail of the long soldiers with one foot, held the wooden pole firmly with both hands, and rushed straight towards the enemy cavalry; the infantry in the second row squatted down as usual. body, and speared Chang Shu deep into the gap in the first row.
The circular formation instantly resembled a porcupine with fried feathers, covered with spears.
'Rumble! 'The sound of horse hooves is getting closer and closer.
Although Zhang Yuan knew that this was just an exercise, he also knew that there was no danger to his life. But looking at those heavy-armored cavalry with overwhelming momentum, as if they had walked out of hell, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Even Zhao Yong on the high platform couldn't help but sweat for the infantry phalanx.
The distance between the enemy and ourselves was getting closer and closer, reaching about a hundred steps. As the knights shouted, arrows rained towards the infantry phalanx.
The arrow missed and hit the wooden shield, making a 'bang' sound.
'ah! ’ Then there were more screams.
Although the bow and arrow had the arrowhead removed and the front end was wrapped with a layer of cotton, it still hurt a little when it was hit on the exposed vital part of the armor and stomach.
Under the intensive rounds of arrow attacks from the light cavalry, the infantry phalanx quickly began to waver.
On the other hand, the infantry's arrows rarely fall on the mobile and flexible cavalry.
As orders were given on the battlefield, people rose and fell, and the formations changed, but the infantry phalanx could never touch the hem of the cavalry's clothes.
"Change formation, heavy cavalry attack!" Following Pang Nuan's order, the light cavalry slowly retreated to the rear wing, and the heavy cavalry began to charge with a spear more than ten feet long.
The 'gun head' that exudes cold light will give the enemy that is almost collapsed a final fatal blow!
...Zhao Yong nodded excitedly.
This is still an exercise. If it were a real battlefield, I am afraid that the infantry phalanx would collapse in the first round of light cavalry harassment.
tomato
And this is Zhao Yong's way of dealing with infantry and training strategy for his own cavalry and the infantry in his brain for dealing with cavalry for future generations.
However, it now seems that whether it is infantry or tanks, it is impossible to fight against cavalry with mature armaments and tactics.
The cavalry team participating in the drama consisted of 150 cavalry, of which 60% were light cavalry and 40% were uniformed cavalry.
The mission of the light cavalry is to conduct reconnaissance and cover, but it can also be a fast and powerful butcher's knife in pursuit; the mission of the heavy cavalry is to charge!
With simple and effective tactics, he believed that on the battlefield, he would definitely plunge the enemy into a quagmire and make all enemies fearful.
The military formation drill continued until the evening. Zhao Yong rode his horse down the platform. The school grounds were filled with wailing, and there were many people with bruises and bruises on their noses and faces.
At this time, Pang Nuan saw Zhao Yong who was watching the battle on the earth platform. He called several generals and hurriedly rode up to meet him.
"My lord, pay homage to the king!" Pang Nuan and others dismounted and paid homage.
Zhao Yong nodded and said with a smile: "My lords, you don't need to be polite. I just watched the generals' exercises and I was very pleased. Get up."
All the generals bowed and stood up, and then accompanied Zhao Yong on patrol. The generals who were just like killing gods on the battlefield just now were all silent around Zhao Yong, not daring to say a word.
Without much greeting, a group of people walked from the east side of the school ground to the other side, which is the training ground for new recruits.
At this time, thousands of new recruits were practicing military formations on the spacious school grounds. They were standing there, advancing and retreating, and large areas of dust were trampled all over the sky. There were also many soldiers practicing bow bending and archery, and bow strings could be heard from time to time. The sound of bouncing; of course the shouts and shouts of training generals are also indispensable.
Zhao Yong nodded with satisfaction: "I see that the morale of the second and third sons is very high!"
The military generals who had looked serious just now smiled and agreed one after another.
Pang Nuan said: "The new order issued by the king is very generous to the army. Not only can the new army have enough food in the military camp every day, but they can also receive military pay every month. How dare they not serve the king?"
Zhao Yong nodded and said: "There is a saying among military strategists: before the troops and horses move, food and grass go first. A prosperous country requires a strong army, and a strong army requires sufficient money and food."
"Your Majesty's words are very true." Pang Nuan bowed and bowed.
