my wife is mulan

"There are still three teams training in other places. My more than 600 people are divided into three teams of thousands of people and a reserve team of more than 500 people. The team of thousands has ten teams of centuries, and the team of hundreds has ten teams of ten. The troops should be led by a commander of a thousand, a commander of a hundred, and a commander of tens, and if the chief officer is killed in battle, the adjutant will take over the command!"

Next, Hua Mulan followed Zhao Junsheng to visit the training process of the other two thousand cavalry teams and one reserve team. These four cavalry troops are undoubtedly training tactics, and the tactics and tactics of training are not the same. This trip can be regarded as benefiting a lot, and it is of great help to the training of my troops.

After watching the training of these cavalry, it was getting late, and Hua Mulan was going to rush back to Jinling with the troops escorting the luggage. Zhao Junsheng sent her a few miles away before returning.

When Zhao Junsheng rushed back to the training ground of the [-]th cavalry team, the cavalry was conducting a drill of split-style cavalry and shooting tactics, so the military officer reined in his horse and stopped to watch.

In front of the false enemy, the [-]th cavalry team lined up in ten columns and rushed forward in a conical formation. All of them used their legs to control the horse, held a bow in one hand, and set an arrow in the other hand. Among them, the original neat formation is still somewhat deformed.

With the tip of the cone array

The flag held by one person swung left and right suddenly, and the tip of the conical formation suddenly split into two. The team automatically separated from the central axis of the conical formation from front to back, turning left and right and flying away. .

Each knight shot arrows at the same time as turning the corner, and after turning the corner, he continued to release the arrows, regardless of whether they were hit or not, and only shot the arrows in their hands at the fastest speed. At this time, there were a large number of arrows in the sky. It flew up, and finally landed on the ground in front of it, densely packed all over the ground.

The landed arrows are inserted into the ground to form a raised figure with the tip forward. This is the arrow strike surface of the split-mounted shooting tactics. There is no doubt that the arrows shot by this riding-shooting tactic will definitely be better than parallel arrows. The arrows shot by riding are farther away, because the galloping speed of the cavalry is added to the arrows when they are shot.

The cavalry who turned left and right respectively did not circle back after shooting enough arrows, but continued to bypass the imaginary enemy and outflank the left and right wings, and continued to shoot arrows without touching the enemy from beginning to end. They are not allowed to be attacked by the enemy in close quarters. What they have to do is to always keep a distance from the enemy, always use bows and arrows to attack the enemy, and use Qingqi's high-speed maneuvering to carry out guerrilla attacks in wài wéi.

After the split-style riding and shooting tactical drill was over, Zhao Junsheng galloped over on horseback.

Bai Jinguang, acting commander-in-chief, clasped his fists on his horse and reported: "Report to Dutong, the [-]th cavalry team has completed the split-style cavalry and shooting tactics drill, please give instructions!"

Chapter 340 Unsolvable Tactics

Zhao Junsheng nodded, walked up to the soldiers and said, "Just now I watched your split-style cavalry and archery tactical exercise. It is generally good, but there are still many flaws and deficiencies! I would like to say a few points first. : First, in the process of high-speed running, the formation is still inevitably scattered; second, there is still a problem with the angle of shooting arrows. The initial angle should be straight and obliquely upward, and then gradually reduce the shooting angle until Finally, shoot on the surface, because the enemy is very close to you at this time, how can you shoot the enemy if you don’t shoot horizontally? Third, when the team is divided into two, the separation is not coherent and fast enough, and the people behind cannot rush Turn at the same position in front, but if you see that the opponent has turned to one side, you must turn immediately, or the soldiers behind will be hit by the enemy before they can separate and turn!"

"You have to understand that the enemy on the opposite side will not stand still and let you shoot. They are rushing towards you, so you must split coherently, quickly, cleanly and thoroughly. Before the enemy rushes over, the last row People have been completely separated from it, they rushed through the gap between you, but they were crushed by your bows and arrows, and you have surrounded them from the left and right wings!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he gave an order to Bai Jinguang, the commander in chief: "Divide everyone into two parts for confrontation exercises. One part will charge towards our army as the enemy, and the other part will launch split-style riding and shooting tactics in formation, and then carry out wài wéi raids, harassment and dragging." Destroy the enemy formation!"

"Yes, Dutong!" Official Bai Jin clasped his fists together, and immediately ordered the team to be divided into two. The first five hundred cavalry teams went to the opposite distance to serve as the enemy army, and the remaining five hundred cavalry teams stayed where they were and prepared to split. Shooting Tactics.

"Let's get started!" Seeing that the two teams were ready, Zhao Junsheng immediately ordered the confrontation drill to begin.

Everyone has been replaced with training arrows. The arrows used in training are all blunt-headed arrows, and they are also wrapped with cloth strips, which enables the realization of confrontation drills and minimizes the chance of casualties.

Bai Jinguang personally led the team to practice split tactics. With a big wave of his hand, he took the lead in trotting forward, and the cavalry behind quickly followed one after another. The whole team looked very neat. The bodies of the knights on horseback rose and fell at the same time as the horses ran, and their movements were exactly the same.

If you want to make no mistakes, the only way is to practice hard. Only after years of hard training can you form instincts and achieve uniformity.

Just as the "enemy army" rushed over from the opposite side, Bai Jinguang led the team and ran to the highest speed. He estimated the distance between the two sides, and immediately waved down the flag. The team quickly separated from the middle to the left and right sides. The horse turned and shot arrows at the same time.

The splitting process this time is very good, coherent, fast, clean and thorough, and looks extremely comfortable, while a large number of arrows are constantly shooting at the charging enemy formation, the enemy is firing arrows, and there are also personnel here "Casualties", but there is no doubt that most of the arrows shot by the enemy landed in the open space, because their arrows were shot forward. They drew their swords and fought close, but found that there were no opponents in front of them, and their opponents ran to the two wings to surround them. A large number of arrows were shot from the left and right wings, causing great "casualties"

The surviving enemy troops discovered this situation and rushed to the left and right sides respectively, but the cavalry of our army on the two wings did not engage with them, and resolutely implemented the principle of the enemy chasing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and pursuing.

The enemy's formation was completely dispersed, and a weak point appeared. If there is a melee cavalry at this time, rushing along the loopholes of the enemy's formation to divide and encircle, it will surely defeat the enemy.

Next, the two teams switched roles and continued to practice, and practiced several times in a row.

Satisfied, Zhao Junsheng ordered the team to assemble. When the team was assembled, he rode forward and said loudly: "The split-style cavalry and shooting tactics have been practiced here today, and we must practice hard every day in the future. Don't slack off! Okay, let's continue." Later, Pontus taught a new tactic. The official name of this tactic is Parthian tactic, and we also call it back arrow, because it was first used by the Parthians in the West, so it is called Parthian tactics!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Junsheng ordered the half of the cavalry in front to ride fifty paces

, Waiting for them to stop and let them turn around and face the other half of the cavalry, Zhao Junsheng and Bai Jinguang rode their horses and ran to the open space in the middle of the team.

"Twenty of you rode out on horseback and lined up in two rows at the front facing me!"

Under Zhao Junsheng's arrangement, twenty cavalrymen were arranged in two neat rows.

"Attention everyone, Ben Dutong will now show you the arrow of turning back!"

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he rode his horse and ran to a position an arrow away from the twenty cavalrymen. He took out his longbow and gestured at them to attack.

Twenty cavalrymen lined up and rushed towards Zhao Junsheng. Zhao Junsheng quickly hit his horse and fled forward.

The twenty cavalry also shot arrows at him immediately, but because Zhao Junsheng was out of their range, all the arrows missed, and none of them hit him, but he could shoot them. Keeping a distance from them, they could never catch up with him.

In this way, these cavalry who were chasing him quickly chased after them because they were shot by several people and their formation was disordered. Everyone was about to go crazy with anger, but they still couldn't catch up. Finally, they were killed by Zhao Junsheng one by one. .

The cavalry on both sides stared wide-eyed, unbelievable.

After the demonstration, Zhao Junsheng ordered everyone to assemble. He stood in front of the team on horseback and asked loudly, "Have you seen the demonstration just now?"

All the cavalry responded loudly: "I see!"

Zhao Junsheng immediately asked: "This is the tactics of turning back arrows! Who can tell Ben Dutong why they were shot and killed by Ben Dutong one by one but there is nothing they can do?"

A cavalryman in the front row raised his hand and said loudly: "Because Dutong's horses are fast, they can't catch up!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, then pointed to another cavalryman, and that cavalryman immediately said: "Because all of them shoot accurately, they can shoot far!"

"Very well said!" Zhao Junsheng expressed his appreciation for what the two men said, "If you want to successfully use the back arrow tactic, you must meet two requirements: first, you must ensure your own high-speed maneuvering advantage! That is, I can chase The enemy can't catch up to me; second, the long-range advantage! That is, I can shoot the opponent, but the opponent can't shoot me!"

"Generally speaking, the back arrow tactics are basically only used against heavy-armored units, because heavy-armored units are prone to fatigue, and can only be beaten passively when their stamina is exhausted! But as long as your horse is faster than others and has stronger stamina, as long as your bow and arrow The shooting range is farther than others, so we can use back arrow tactics! However, the speed and endurance of our riding horses are basically similar to those of other cavalry and Rouran cavalry in our country, and the range of the bows and arrows we use is not much different. It is basically unrealistic for the cavalry to use the back arrow tactics, unless the opponent's cavalry has no bows and arrows, only long and short weapons! If the opponent sends out heavy cavalry or heavy infantry, the back arrow is the sharpest tactic against heavy cavalry and heavy infantry!"

As long as the advantages of high-speed maneuvering and long-distance are maintained, there is basically no solution to the tactics of turning back arrows. The power of bows and arrows in large-scale and high-intensity use is very powerful. After being shot, once the formation of the enemy's heavy armor group is disordered, you can send your own heavy cavalry to form a dense formation to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and the rest is to harvest the heads.

Next, Zhao Junsheng arranged for the cavalry to practice the tactics of turning back arrows. He arranged the thousand cavalry in ten rows in units of hundreds, with more than one hundred cavalry in each row, and practiced row after row.

"Keep the formation and control the speed!" Zhao Junsheng shouted loudly while riding a horse.

During practice, there are cavalry who can’t control the speed and rush to the front or fall behind. As a result, a row of cavalry cannot be in a straight line, and the formation becomes crooked. The purpose of maintaining formation is nothing more than to control the distance from the enemy. Therefore, if someone in a row is too far back or too far ahead, those who are behind may be within the range of the enemy, while cavalry who are too far ahead may be out of range of their own bows and arrows.

The emergence of stirrups made the technical content of the back arrow tactics lower, and also lowered the threshold for using this tactic. In the era before the stirrups appeared, the light cavalry of the Parthian Empire could control them with only their knees.

Control the horse, free both hands to open the bow, turn around and shoot arrows, this is not something that all light cavalry can do.

The conquest of the world by the Mongolian cavalry is also a repeat of the tactics of turning back arrows, but the Mongolian cavalry has a formidable military discipline, which makes this army invincible across the world.

The next day, Zhao Junsheng arranged for the military training tasks and the labor tasks for the strongmen, so he took Li Bao and a dozen of his own soldiers to the Jinling camp on horseback.

When he arrived at Marshal Xingyuan Gate, Zhao Junsheng asked the guards to report, and he was ushered in soon after.

"I pay my respects to the lord!"

"Hahaha, please get up, Junsheng!" Tuoba Jian stepped forward and said, helping Zhao Junsheng up.

Zhao Junsheng got up and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord!"

"Come on, sit down and talk!"

Zhao Junsheng was also polite, and sat down on the pony horse beside him as soon as he agreed.

Tuoba Jian asked about the situation of the defense line from Nantian Fort to Da'e Mountain: "How is the defensive strength of Nantian Fort and Da'e Mountain defense line? How is the situation of the Rouran army entrenched in Shengle City? Have they sent troops to harass recently?"

Zhao Junsheng clasped his fists and replied: "Da'e Mountain and Tunzuo Mountain both have 600 garrisons, and the remaining soldiers and horses are all concentrated in Nantian Fort. The subordinates have sent spies to infiltrate Shengle City. After learning about Shengle City, Rou Ranjun has 5000 people in Shengle City, and the others have all retreated to Monan! Since they withdrew last year, they have never sent anyone to attack and disturb them, and it has been calm for several months!"
