"Huang Zhong, you are now entrusted with the title of Martial Archer Captain. With the original guard archers as the team, a Martial Archer Battalion will be established and the army will be expanded to 3,000 people."

"promise!"

"Tai Shici, you are now named Captain of Wu Feng. From the Xiaoqi Battalion, 2,500 soldiers will be divided, and another 500 will be added, for a total of 3,000 soldiers."

"Ziyi, do you understand the meaning of the word Wu Feng?"

Seeing Liu Zhang's expectant eyes, Tai Shici nodded firmly.

"My lord wants the cavalry to be as sharp as a blade!"

With a smile on his face, Liu Zhang patted Tai Shici's shoulder lightly and kept nodding.

"That's right! Ziyi, I hope you will become the sharpest knife under my command! Cut the enemy's formation wantonly!"

"The final general will not disgrace his life!"

"Dian Wei, I now entitle you to be the captain of the military guards. I will select brave men and establish a military guard camp to serve as my personal guards. There will be 1,000 people."

"My lord, don't worry! I, Dianwei, will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!"

Liu Zhang turned his head and looked at Zhao Yun.

"Zi Long!"

Zhao Yun's spirit was shaken, and he bowed to Liu Zhang.

"The end is here!"

"Zhao Yun, you are now appointed as the captain of the Wuqi battalion. Based on the remaining soldiers and horses of the Xiaoqi battalion, we will add 500 people and expand the number to 3,000."

"My lord, where will the last general's cavalry go?"

Zhao Yun looked at Liu Zhang suspiciously, Tai Shici is a charge rider, what about himself?

As expected of Zhao Yun, his thoughts are meticulous.

Liu Zhang applauded in his heart, if he said he likes him the most, it must be Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, I know you have the ability to penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, but you never show it!"

When Liu Zhang said this, Tai Shici and others were slightly surprised.

"Zilong! Really?"

Zhao Yun smiled and nodded embarrassedly.

"My lord, I have never mentioned it before, how did my lord know?"

Liu Zhang just kept shaking his head and laughing, but didn't answer the question.

how do i know I just know it!

"Zilong, my big Han cavalry often have a great disadvantage in fighting against foreign races, do you know the reason?"

"The end will not be known."

Zhao Yun answered very simply, without any hesitation.

"And you, does anyone know?"

Liu Zhang suddenly thought, and turned his gaze to everyone in the room.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but there was no answer.

After a long time, Jia Xu stood up.

"Since everyone is so humble, let me speak."

Everyone was slightly ashamed, they were not humble, they really didn't know.

"The enemies of our great Han are almost in the north, and the most powerful ones belong to Xianbei, Karasuma, Hu Qiang and Xiongnu."

"Hu Qiang is still at war with us. Karasuma and Xianbei often go south to plunder. As for the Xiongnu, because the north and south are separated, the harm is far less than the former!"

Everyone nodded, they don't live in the frontier, they are far less clear than Jia Xu.

Jia Xu seemed to remember her own experience, and her face was extremely ugly.

"I traveled to the Northwest when I was a teenager, and I know a lot about the alien race. The main reason why the alien race is strong is that all the people are soldiers."

"This is even more evident in Xianbei, Karasuma, and the Xiongnu! They were almost born on horseback, and they lived with horses all their lives!"

Tai Shici asked with some doubts: "Does the military division mean that their riding skills are better than ours?"

Jia Xu smiled and nodded, then shook his head again.

"Growing up on horseback is much better than those of us who learned to ride later, but riding skills are not the biggest gap!"

"Then what is the biggest gap?"

Facing Tai Shici's questioning, Jia Xu didn't speak, but looked at Xun You.

This is the top strategist, he doesn't want to monopolize the limelight, but also wants to test the depth of his colleagues.

Everyone also followed Jia Xu's gaze, and all eyes immediately focused on Xun You.

"The biggest gap lies in horses, and riding and shooting!"

Xun You didn't hesitate at all, and just blurted out.

"good!"

Jia Xu looked at Xun You in admiration, and nodded for him to continue.

"The vast majority of our Han soldiers are infantry. In the past, Gaozu led 200,000 elite soldiers to fight against the Xiongnu, but they were deeply trapped in Baishan Mountain. In the end, they were able to escape with a lot of bribes. The reason is the problem of the soldiers!"

"Gaozu's 200,000 army, at least 150,000 are infantry. And the Huns' 300,000 army is actually 300,000 cavalry!"

"Military division, when the elite infantry is in formation, the cavalry is not sure of victory, is it?"

Huang Zhong felt that what Xun You said was a bit exaggerated. No matter how powerful the cavalry is, is it really invincible?

"That's right, if the cavalry charge blindly, the infantry can resist it by relying on formation."

"But what if the cavalry don't charge?"

Huang Zhong frowned, feeling very puzzled, what does it mean not to charge?

"Military division, how can cavalry have any fighting power if they don't charge?"

Xun You didn't answer directly, but spit out two words.

"Riding and shooting!"

"Riding and shooting?"

The four of Huang Zhong exclaimed at the same time, this word was too shocking for them!

Even ordinary archers have very high requirements for soldiers, not to mention the difficulty of riding and arching!

"Military division, do you mean charging and shooting arrows at the same time?"

Zhao Yun didn't seem to be very clear about the concept of riding and shooting, so he quickly asked Xun You for advice.

"Yes, riding and archery, as the name suggests, riding and archery."

"It turns out that the infantry will never be able to defeat the cavalry! They will not be able to catch up, and they will always be attacked by bows and arrows."

Zhao Yun suddenly realized, and finally understood what Liu Zhang meant.

"My lord, do you want me to train the Wuqi Battalion into an army of cavalry and archery?"

"good!"

Liu Zhang nodded, "What the two military advisers said just now is what I want to tell you! Have you ever known King Zhao Wuling's Hufu riding and shooting?"

This is recorded in [Warring States Policies], and Liu Zhang estimated that they should not be able to get in touch with them.

Sure enough, the four shook their heads at the same time, expressing their ignorance.

"During the Warring States Period, after King Zhao Wuling came to the throne, Zhao's national strength declined, and even the surrounding small countries came to bully him. King Zhao Wuling was determined to improve his national strength, so he looked for ways everywhere."

"Geographically, the state of Zhao is bordered by the Donghu in the northeast, the Xiongnu in the north, and the Linhu and Loufan in the northwest. These tribes live on nomads and are very good at horseback riding and archery, and they often attack Zhao in this way. border."

"King Wuling of Zhao discovered that the riding and shooting skills of the Hu people are far superior to the chariots and spears of the Central Plains, and they have greater flexibility and mobility."

"King Wuling of Zhao put forward the idea of ​​riding and shooting in Hufu, and the result was just as he thought, Zhao Guo became a military power in one fell swoop, destroying the neighboring countries that often invaded him!"

Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this and understood what Liu Zhang meant!

Compared with Huang Zhong and the others, I was the last to join. Unexpectedly, not only did he get the same treatment as the elders, but he was also entrusted with important tasks!

"My lord! Yun will live up to my lord's trust!"

Looking at the swearing Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong couldn't help shaking his head.

"Zilong, do you know how difficult it is to ride and shoot?"

"Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, Zhao Yun will not frown!"

Zhao Yun is now completely moved by Liu Zhang's trust, and is not afraid of any difficulties at all.

Hey, it really is still too young to know the heights of the sky and the earth.

Huang Zhong sighed in his heart, still planning to pour cold water on Zhao Yun.

"Zilong, you have such confidence, a brother shouldn't have said too much. But when it comes to the great cause of the lord, I'd like to say a few more words."

Zhao Yun was beyond Huang Zhong's expectations, without any emotion, but very modestly asked Huang Zhong for advice.

"Brother Han Sheng, please speak up!"

"Zilong, five years ago, my lord ordered me to train archers. You should know about this."

Zhao Yun nodded. He knew that these archers had amazing fighting power, and they tried their best to protect Liu Zhang.

"There are only a few hundred people, do you know how long I have been screening?"

Huang Zhong stretched out his hand and made a gesture.

"It took me half a year to select these 100 people from more than 2,000 people!"

"what!"
