Qin Yuedang Kong

Chapter 13
Early the next morning, Han Xin gathered all the school lieutenants into the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for Fusu to teach the essentials of cavalry marching and fighting.Everyone came to participate with the mentality of just listening.Although they respect Fusu, it doesn't mean they agree with Fusu's abilities.After all, a person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to cover everything.As far as governing the country is concerned, they sincerely admire the son's talent, but as far as leading troops and fighting, they don't think that Fusu will be superior.

When Fusu walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw dozens of school lieutenants whispering to each other.Han Xin immediately got up and greeted them, and at the same time motioned for everyone to keep quiet.Fusu didn't pay attention to these captains, but went straight to the central office and knelt down.

"Greetings, Young Master," all the people, led by Han Xin, saluted Fusu in unison.

Although I don't think that Fusu is qualified to teach him, he still has to do the etiquette that should be done, after all, he is still the son of the supervisor of Daqin.

"Everyone, please sit down on the floor," Fusu said, looking at the crowd standing in front of him.After all, it is too awkward to sit and teach a group of standing people.

Everyone didn't hesitate and sat down one after another.

"Sun Bin once said, 'A husband and rider can separate and reunite, and can disperse and gather together. A period of a hundred miles, a journey of thousands of miles, and in and out'. I don't know if you have heard of it," Fusu asked, looking at the bewildered crowd.

"I've never heard of it." Except for Han Xin, everyone shook their heads like a rattle.

Seeing the group of ignorant and fearless bastards in front of him, Fu Su lost his temper in an instant.While helpless, I firmly determined the idea of ​​establishing education and opening a military academy as soon as possible in the future.Seeing that everyone's cultural level is limited, Fusu decided to teach everyone the essentials of cavalry combat in the simplest way.

"In cavalry combat, it is necessary to take advantage of the fast running. When the fight is over, it will chase and fight. If it is not enough, it will run away at the fastest speed, so that the enemy will not be able to catch up. All of you are General Han Xin. Those selected from the camp in Shangjun should all have experience fighting the cavalry of the Huns. The cavalry of the Huns always fight if they win, and retreat if they don’t win. You should be very clear about this..."

Everyone was attracted by Fusu's explanation, because they felt that what Fusu said was too correct, and he explained clearly the reasons why they were repeatedly defeated by the Huns.

"If you run fast, and if you can run far and approach the enemy quietly, then the cavalry will become a surprise soldier. If there is a cavalry of 2 people, bypassing all the scouts in Daqin, and raiding our Shangjun at night Daying, what do you guys think?"

Everyone was shocked by Fusu's remarks and broke into a cold sweat. If it was true what Young Master Fusu said, then the Shangjun camp would basically be abolished overnight.

Fusu's words are definitely not alarmist. In history, Huo Qubing, a famous general in the Han Dynasty, did this thing, and he did it more than once.In the second year of Yuanshou, Huo Qubing led 1000 hussars out of Longxi, surpassed Wudao, conquered Pu, waded into the fox slaves, and moved to the five kingdoms of Hexi, capturing a large number of prisoners and luggage.He also fought with Shan Yu's son and almost captured him alive.Afterwards, he led his people across Yanzhi Mountain, fought for six days, marched more than 960 miles in a hurry, and finally fought fiercely with the Xiongnu army at the foot of Gaolan Mountain. , Du Wei, etc. were all captured.In this campaign, the Han army beheaded a total of [-] ranks, and captured King Xiutu's sacrifice to Tianjin. After the war, Huo Qubing made [-] households in Shiyi with meritorious deeds.

Fusu's explanation successfully attracted everyone's attention, even Han Xin listened carefully.At this moment, no one dared to despise Fusu anymore.

"Yesterday, everyone practiced with horns and passwords. They screamed before they approached the enemy. In such a battle, the enemy may know that we are coming without scouting. This is the first drawback exposed in yesterday's drill. Cavalry In combat, the most important thing is to be flexible and changeable. You must not fight in formations, so that the cavalry's flexible and changeable advantages will not be brought into play. This is the second drawback I saw from yesterday's drill. Cavalry combat, weapons It is mainly short and sharp, which is conducive to close slashing, but you still use long spears and long swords in cavalry combat. Once you fight close to the body, you are extremely inflexible. This is the third drawback exposed in yesterday's drill. Do you agree? ?”

At this time, no one had any objection, because what Fusu said was the truth, and they couldn't refute it even if they wanted to.

"For the above problems, I have the following countermeasures. First, add semaphore as a way of ordering cavalry in combat. Second, do not use battle formations to restrain cavalry during wartime, and aim at flexibility. Third, the entire army changes Install the scimitar, hook sickle gun, saddle and other weapons and equipment made by the Daqin Ordnance Academy." Fusu spoke out the reform measures of the cavalry in one breath.

As for the replacement of the scimitar, they naturally knew that the Daqin Ordnance Academy had sent [-] scimitars, more than [-] hooks and sickles, more than [-] iron chains for tripping horses, and [-] saddles.They have also tried these weapons and equipment, and it is indeed easier to use them on the horse than the long swords and spears they are currently using. It is just that they are used to long swords and spears, so they have not changed their equipment for a long time.As for the semaphore Fusu said, they didn't understand at all.

Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Fusu asked the guards to send flags of red, yellow, and green, and then explained to everyone with the flags.Waving flags of different colors represents different orders.Combining the three flags can generate more commands.Everyone looked at Fusu with admiration. He could have such a fantastic idea. He could issue orders silently and achieve communication at a certain distance. Even if the enemy did not have a semaphore book, he would not be able to see the semaphore. know the meaning.

In the next few days, while waiting for the horseshoe, Fusu urged Daqin cavalry to change into machetes, saddles and other equipment.And Han Xin also took advantage of this time to edit Daqin's first semaphore manual.And ordered the flag soldiers in the army to recite these flag language.

On the tenth day, Peng Yue rushed back to Lantian Camp with horseshoes, horseshoe nails and [-] craftsmen.The craftsmen shoed all the horses according to Fusu's request.

Before setting off, Fusu ordered the [-] Great Qin cavalry to practice. Obviously, the result of this drill met Fusu's requirements. Fusu was excited and officially named this army, Daqin Tiger Ben.
