"I will ask for instructions from the general." Wang Hui pondered for a moment and responded: "The last five hundred commanders were killed in battle, and half of your soldiers came from behind to replenish them."
"They don't know about cavalry tactics, nor do they know how to be a qualified cavalry. Next, you have to train hard."
Wang Hui patted Zhao Shu on the shoulder: "As for the general's news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
"promise."
After meeting Wang Hui, Zhao Shu returned to his camp. He was also in the capital army and had been in the cavalry. He had only one thought in his mind about the cavalry.
That's mobility!
That's fast!
Of course, in this process, the most important thing is cooperation, cooperation between soldiers, and cooperation between soldiers.
At the same time, the most important thing is the cooperation between man and horse. In this era, there was no three-piece cavalry suit, and it was very difficult to become an excellent cavalryman.
This is also one of the reasons why in this era, the Central Plains cavalry, except for Zhao Bianqi, was unable to compete with the Mobei Huns.
Zhao Shu knew a lot about the cavalry three-piece suit and knew how to make one or two. However, after much thought, he thought it was not appropriate to take it out at this time.
The most terrifying thing about Qin is the black technology of bronze. However, due to the lack of iron mountains that are easy to mine, Qin's iron smelting technology is underdeveloped and far behind that of the Central Plains.
In the world today, the Qin Dynasty is as powerful as a rainbow, and it is ready to unify the Eight Wastelands and Liuhe. He does not want this to cause any changes.
In this way, more people will die in this unification war.
Walking on the school grounds, observing the training of the cavalry soldiers, Zhao Shu frowned slightly. He found that some soldiers had difficulty even riding a horse.
"A, what's going on?" Zhao Shu stopped and looked at the hundred-man general A beside him.
"Master Five Hundred, we have five hundred soldiers in one unit, but most of them are infantrymen. There are only less than two hundred old soldiers."
A also looks ugly.
Looking at the armor, Zhao Shu said: "Scatter all the soldiers and reorganize them, use the old soldiers to lead the new soldiers, and teach them to ride horses."
"As a cavalryman, what's the matter if you can't even ride a horse!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, A went to the school grounds and loudly said: "The Master of Five Hundred has an order: disperse all the soldiers and start again, and encourage the old soldiers to lead the new ones."
"Teach all the new recruits how to ride horses first..."
Seeing this scene, Zhao Shu felt dizzy. He knew in his heart that there was a long way to go before this cavalry could take shape.
At this moment, he was a little confused about what Yang Duanhe meant. Logically speaking, the experienced Five Hundred Master should be responsible for this matter, not him, a Five Hundred Master who came from the Death Soldier Battalion.
After watching for a while, Zhao Shu went back with a grimace. It was useless for him to stay in the camp. Before he learned how to ride a horse, any cavalry tactics were useless.
With a hundred people to train soldiers, Zhao Shu felt at ease. These people were more than enough just to train horseback riding.
Back in the camp, Zhao Shu looked solemn. He knew in his heart that in this era, cavalry had just been born. As a new unit to replace chariot soldiers, there were not many cavalry tactics.
Even the cavalry of Great Qin only have that appearance, but they are not mature.
At this moment, Zhao Shu thought of the Mongolian cavalry that would dominate the world in later generations, the invincible cavalry that swept across the Eurasian continent.
According to records, the Mongolian cavalry is a well-trained, disciplined, tactically flexible, intelligent and courageous, and formidable whirlwind force.
At that time, each soldier of the Mongolian cavalry was equipped with two bows, one for the horse and the other with higher accuracy for the horse.
There are three types of arrows: long, medium and short.
The heavy, short-range arrows are designed to penetrate armor. Everyone carries a spare supply of bow strings, wax, and needle and thread for repair gear.
The equipment is contained in a special leather bag that can be inflated when crossing the river.
The pen in his hand has not been put down for a long time, and Zhao Shu knows very well that these are secondary. In a real sense, the Mongolian cavalry is domineering because of the change in tactics.
Today's cavalry tactics are not ideologically divorced from the traditional group combat and step-by-step advancement combat modes, and can only be regarded as an assault force of the traditional army.
After the rise of the Mongolian cavalry, the cavalry completely became the mainstream of the army. The most famous one at that time was the Crow Soldier Star Formation.
The cavalry uses this formation when it encounters the enemy on the move. The three-three and five-five will cover each other so that the enemy will not be surrounded and annihilated. It can give full play to the rapid maneuverability of the cavalry, and it can advance and retreat in a very timely manner.
This is a very flexible tactic.
However, it is of little use to him. He is just a five hundred leader, not the Qin Army's cavalry general.
Thoughts kept coming up in his mind, and finally Zhao Shu focused on one of the tactics.
Cavalry siege tactics.
This is a tactic of attacking the enemy's position. Select an enemy position and attack the enemy's position with a cavalry column.
If the enemy's position is loose, no matter how many troops the cavalry has, if they drive straight in and penetrate, the enemy will not be able to support it even though they have huge troops.
If one attack fails, multiple cavalry groups will be organized to carry out multiple attacks. Find the enemy's weak points and succeed with one strike!
If this cavalry breakout tactic is used, combined with blitz warfare, the cavalry's mobility can be maximized.
This tactic can be used even with only 500 people.
Of course, Zhao Shu also knew that if he wanted to implement this tactic, his cavalry must be an absolutely elite force.
Moreover, it is necessary to command someone who can control the army like an arm and a finger.
He also saw the five hundred cavalry under his command today. There were many soldiers who couldn't even ride a horse. It was impossible to complete this tactic.
The most important thing is that without the three-piece cavalry set, it is too difficult to grow a cavalry team. It takes a long time to develop the trust between man and horse.
"well!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't use the three-piece cavalry suit, so he could only use crazy training to make up for this.
Of course, there is another point and that is war. In war, it is easiest for a cavalry to take shape. If it cannot learn how to do it, it will be swallowed up by the torrent of war.
Shogunate.
Sima of the Chinese army returned and faced Yang Duanhe and said: "General, the general has already arranged Zhao Shu. He just wants a 500-year-old master who has never been exposed to cavalry to control a cavalry that is mostly new soldiers. I'm afraid that It’s difficult.”
At this moment, even the Chinese Army Sima was worried. He knew in his heart that once Wang Jian or Xianyang's order was conveyed, the war would begin.
Before this, if Zhao Shu's cavalry could not form combat effectiveness, they would only die if they encountered a war.
It may even affect the development of the war situation.
He couldn't figure out why Yang Duanhe would issue such an order.
Glancing at the Central Army Sima, Yang Duanhe said in a deep voice, "This general has his own plan!"
