The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 80 Training Cavalry
The next day, Huo Yu arranged for Gong Du and ten personal guards to protect Mi Fang and go to Ji County, the seat of Youzhou.Since moving into Liaodong, Huo Yu has only blindly collected news about the famous northern nomads such as Xianbei and Wuhuan, fundamentally ignoring the Central Plains.The appearance of Shi A prompted Huo Yu to expand his intelligence collection work, and made the Dark Feather Guard initially formed.

Huo Yu knew that if he wanted to eliminate the harassment of the border counties by the nomads, he must have a strong cavalry, so he devoted himself to the training of the only 2000 cavalry.He turned a deaf ear to the fact that Mi Zhen moved into the prefect's mansion.

If you want to have a strong cavalry, you must improve the horse administration construction for military use.For now, the establishment of a military strategy that emphasizes both infantry and cavalry gradually shifts to cavalry as the mainstay, and expanding the scale, configuration, and training of cavalry is the most important thing.

It is obvious that Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping alone can't guarantee Huo Yu's needs. Therefore, the Liaodong Taishoufu issued a policy to encourage the common people to raise horses and encourage merchants to sell horses.However, food and clothing is currently the most concerned issue for the people of Liaodong, so the policy of raising horses will not be effective for a while.

Therefore, in terms of cavalry construction, Huo Yu proposed not only to pay attention to heavy armored cavalry for frontal impact, but also to build light cavalry to take advantage of the strong mobility of cavalry.

The tactical training of the cavalry is also one of the key points. The long-distance raids, detours, outflanking and other tactics used by the ancestor Huo Qubing are the top priority of Huo Yu's training.Such tactics can maximize the advantages of cavalry.

"When mounted, one fights; when dismounted, one raises." This is a new idea put forward by Huo Yu, saying that his new idea is only for cavalry.In fact, this idea is an extension of the idea of ​​"serving the army in wartime and serving the people in peacetime".When fighting, they bring weapons and equipment to go out, and in peacetime, they raise horses for the people. Of course, the people here are only in a relative sense.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, they also specially trained the ability to ride horses and archery and use strong crossbows.With Ma Ma San Bao and Huang Zhong's teachings, the combat power of Fei Yu's army soared.Huo Yu's flying feather cavalry was actually trained according to the method of the Mongolian cavalry of later generations. The Mongolian cavalry was created by Genghis Khan and passed down from generation to generation. It was the absolute force that swept the Eurasian continent in that era.

Among the Mongolian cavalry, there are heavy cavalry and light cavalry engaged in assault operations. The main weapon of the heavy cavalry is a spear, while the light cavalry, except for the helmet, wears leather armor.The main weapon of the light cavalry is the bow. This kind of bow is powerful and has a long range. In addition, it is equipped with armor-piercing arrows. Its power is self-evident.

With Zhao Yun, a natural cavalry general, Huo Yu really saved a lot of worry.In the future, these cavalry will become the most powerful weapons, used to conquer unprecedented vast territories and eliminate nomadic tribes such as Xianbei and Wuhuan.After the world is pacified, this army will march westward and lay down a vast territory for future generations.

Huo Yu, a compound bow, cannot be made now, but armor-piercing arrows are still very simple. This kind of arrow with great penetrating power has already been successfully trial-produced in the Craftsman Workshop.

For heavy cavalry, in terms of armor, soldiers and horses are equipped with light armor to enhance protection and achieve the purpose of frontal impact.Since both men and horses wear armor, their mobility is greatly restricted, so the cooperation of light and heavy cavalry is very important.

In the selection of horses, Huo Yu proposed to use a large number of horses with strong endurance, and this kind of horses will be called Mongolian horses in later generations.Mongolian horses are small in size, with an average body height of 120-135 cm and a weight of 267-370 kg.The body is thick and strong, the limbs are solid and powerful, the physique is rough and strong, the head is large and the forehead is wide, the chest is deep and long, the legs are short, and the joints and tendons are well developed.The coat is dense and complex in color.It is hardworking, not afraid of cold, can adapt to extremely extensive feeding and management, has strong vitality, and can survive in harsh and harsh conditions.

Once the heavy armored cavalry charged head-on, it would definitely be a shocking scene in the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Huo Yu specially asked Zhang Fei for the formation during training. Although the training process was complicated and painful, with the efforts of everyone , finally have a decent formation, as long as the equipment is in place, they can wear armor for training.

The content of cavalry training is very extensive, and horse training is one of them.For cavalry, war horses are life, and not just any horse is suitable for battle on the battlefield, so the first thing to do is to train the horse.

Although the horse has human nature, it is an animal after all. If you want it to understand the rider's intentions and consume power reasonably, you must first focus on humans and try to communicate the relationship between humans and horses.In order to achieve his goal, Huo Yu ordered the cavalry to eat and live with the horses until he could control the horses well.

As the saying goes: "Tighten your eyes and ears, you won't be shocked. Learn to relax and chase, close your advance and stop, people and horses will meet each other, and then you can use it." This kind of emotion is established in a long-term life, not overnight.

Although there are three treasures, the rider still needs to carry out systematic training. Even if he can't meet the requirements of the nomads, he must be flexible and free!It is necessary to master the balance immediately during high-speed running and fighting, otherwise there is a danger of falling off the horse. For cavalry, falling off the horse means death.

After mastering the balance, you have to be on the horse. You have to practice bowing forward, backward, left, and right, swinging your weapon, and hitting the opponent accurately. You must also be able to dexterously dodge or stall. These are all necessary skills for cavalry.Huo Yu's opponents often say that if you are born with a deficiency, you must work hard, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you want to gain fame and fortune, then kill him on horseback!

After the training, Huo Yu said loudly to the group of flying feather cavalry: "Presumably you all know that the most elite cavalry of my big man are Xiliang iron cavalry, Bingzhou wolf cavalry and Youzhou white horse Yicong, but in the near future , there is only one elite cavalry, and that is Feiyu Cavalry. I will give you the best equipment, the best food, and the best rewards. Maybe you can live the life of a wife and children, but that's not a man's ideal."

Then Huo Yu passionately recited the song "Men's Walk":
When a man kills, he kills without mercy.The immortal karma of Qianqiu is all in murder.

In the past, there was a handsome man with a strong sense of loyalty.Yazi kills people, and his body is lighter than a feather.

There are heroes and tyrants, killing people like hemp, galloping around the world, only bragging about swords and guns.

If you want to find such things today, you will find moon shadows in vain.Don't you see, the Confucian scholars swarmed up the strong men to die,

Since then, Shenzhou has praised benevolence and righteousness.Once the barbarians were in chaos in the Central Plains, the scholars rushed to the cowards and wept.

I want to learn from the ancient style and revive my heroic spirit.Fame is the same as dung, and those who disdain the benevolent ridicule.

Wearing a sharp iron sword on his body, he can kill people when he is angry.Cutting shares and drinking, chatting and laughing.

It takes ten weeks to kill an enemy thousands of miles away.Dedicated to Zhutian Guangyu, and Jieming Mingqing.

Going out of the west gate, Mu Ti turned his head back.Tired and sleepy, the battle horn suddenly blows.

Ximen leaves his mother, the mother is not sad for the child.The body promises historical events, and the man will never return.

In the fighting world, the Yin Court was terribly frightened.Killing a person in three steps, the heart stops and the hands don't stop.

Blood flowed for thousands of miles, and the corpse was pillowed on Qianxun Mountain.After the strong man has fought, he is tired and sleeps on the enemy's corpse.

I still kill people in my dream, and my smile reflects Suhui.Daughter Mo Xiang asked, why is the man so fierce?

Since ancient times, benevolence and virtue have only harmed people, and morality has never been true.Don't you see, liger hunting
The thing is famous, who is the poor elk?The world has always been strong against the weak, even though

Reasonable and in vain.Junxiu asked, men can do what they want.man, when
violent.Work and benevolence are incompatible.Men's business is in the battlefield, as brave as a bear

Eyes like wolves.If you are born as a man, you will kill. Don't teach a man's body to wrap a woman's heart.man from
Don't be shy, and laugh at each other even if you die.There are a hundred places on the battlefield of the enemy, everywhere

Wish to be green with weeds.Men don't tremble, there is a song for you to listen to: Killing one is a crime,
Tu Wan is a hero.If 900 million are slaughtered, you will be the hero among the heroes.Xiong Zhongxiong, Dao
Different: see through thousands of years of benevolence and righteousness, but make this life a hero.Good name does not love

Love notoriety, kill millions with impunity.It is better to teach thousands of people to gnash their teeth and hate than to teach no one
There are people who scold me.Looking at the world for 5000 years, where can heroes not kill people?
