Chapter 223: Formation of Iron Hoof

Cavalry, cavalry is a strange thing, and cavalry is against cavalry, and they can defeat them with a strange thing.

Shangguan Lu's idea has been around for a long time, but when he came to the border of Wuyang again and returned to the Blood Wolf, he had to bury this idea deeply in his heart. Why are there many reasons, and there are many aspects. After becoming the Blood Wolf Guard, he led the Blood Wolf to restore his border military post and establish the Iron Hoof Banner among the Five Banners. This was not only a compromise, but also a struggle that was unwilling to make.

But the facts gave Shangguan Lu the loudest slap in the face.

Four thousand enemy troops besieged the Weizhai. Shangguan Lu carefully planned and even used all kinds of weapons to make the Tartars' morale chaos suddenly drop to the freezing point. Even so, the Weizhai's iron hoof took the initiative to attack with all the iron hoofs, and there were still heavy casualties. The flag general Xue Debing was seriously injured and was still recuperating in the hospital room. The iron hoofs with more than 260 cavalry were able to return to the military camp, but only more than 30 cavalry could return to the military camp.

As for the blood drops and the two iron hoof flags of blood armor, they were simply specious hodgepodges, just infantrymen who could barely ride on horses.

Only the iron hooves of the blood wolf can be seen, and they can barely have the power of a battle, but in Shangguan Lu's opinion, they are only seen, not the cavalry lingering in Shangguan Lu's mind.

Now, the appearance of the uncle Wang Hun of the army, the old soldiers who had fought after the bloody battle of the blood wolf, and the more than 5,000 soldiers who fled to Junshan in each village. The next year, the gap of the snow melted for half a year, and the battle was obtained from the Tartars's horses, strength, morale, soldiers, time, and war horses, these hard conditions that Shangguan Lu had been worried about before, suddenly gathered together, and the thought that had been silent for a long time suddenly burst out.

"The newly built iron hoof, whether it is a military soldier, a soldier, or a military head, should be based on the exquisite cavalry skills. The sword and shield skills of martial arts, spear skills, and bows and crossbows are the keys. These four techniques must be better than ordinary people. The mounts of war horses and horses are selected by themselves. People are equipped with armor and horses. In layman's terms, it is the Xia clan's infantry and martial arts formation with war horses. In my opinion, the newly built iron hoof is specially designed for the Tartar cavalry. The armor protects the whole body to ensure that the soldiers and mounts will not be easily injured by Tartar arrows. The skillful martial arts, the new military formation, the strict military discipline, the determination to die, the fearless spirit, and achieve the mighty iron-blooded heroic army, which can protect the blood wolf from this disaster!"

After saying so much in one breath, even Shangguan Lu was a little short of breath. After a slow breath, he continued to say: "The newly built iron hoof is for the time being, with about 500 people. As for the military system, the iron hoof flag of the Weizhai Bing Banner is one flag, and the other flag is temporarily returned to the training and preparation flag. The specific construction details are detailed, and I will write it into a book in a few days later."

Although what Shangguan Lu said was not very detailed, it was enough to make Cheng Dian and the other two understand Shangguan Lu's ideas and purpose. What he did for Shangguan Lu and what he did since he entered the Wei Village was enough to make Cheng Dian and Liu Jian choose to believe. Wei Peng needs no need to say more, he is full of mysterious confidence in Shangguan Lu's mind, and Liu Jian, who has revealed his identity, is even more looking forward to Shangguan Lu's distant look at Shangguan Lu's tent.

Only Cheng Dian looked at the three people who were excited and eager to try, and his helpless smile was full of bitterness, just because he was a dictionary, a dictionary of the Blood Wolf Army Guard.

The cavalry was still two flags. Although one of them was based on the Iron Hoof Banner of Weizhai, it was also very different from the Iron Hoof Banner, which means that the materials needed were no different from the newly built one flag.

But are cavalry formed as soon as they are formed? Are war horses, armor, armor, and shields available to blood wolves today? The key is food and grass. War horses are much more delicate than soldiers!

With this in mind, how can Cheng Dian not worry?

Cheng Dian faced Shangguan Lu and the other two, and smiled bitterly: "What Jiangtou said is that I, Old Cheng, has no objection, but the key to cavalry war lies in cavalry and cavalry, and this is the foundation for the Tatars to dominate the Northern Wilderness with cavalry. No matter how elite the Blood Wolf Cavalry is trained, in this key two items, the Xia people are naturally disadvantaged compared to the Tartars. It is not wise to attack the other's strengths with their own shortcomings. However, what Jiangtou does must be the focus on protection. Therefore, the problem is back. Military craftsmen can repair weapons, but they must not forge armor privately. This move violates military discipline and national laws and is a serious crime. Even if we forge them privately on the charge of beheading, what about alchemy? A clever woman can cook without rice!"

Shangguan Lu nodded repeatedly and explained: "As Cheng Dian said, the armor of the two flags of cavalry is the key, but there is no need to worry about alchemy."

Shangguan Lu's confident eyes and firm tone surprised the three people, including Cheng Dian. There was so much alchemy required to make the armor of hundreds of people with two flags. Even though he was surprised, he did not doubt the authenticity. Instead, he was sure that Shangguan Lu had prepared for it, although they didn't know where Shangguan Lu's confidence came from.

Let’s put aside the alchemy matter for the time being, and the only thing that remains is the military system, which means what kind of coat should be put on these two flags. Liu Jian therefore suggested: “As long as there is armor, these two flags should not be placed in the open. When the Blood Wolf War is over, everything should be gone.”

"It is indeed inappropriate to put the soldiers of the two flags on the surface. Not to mention it too dazzling, there are endless troubles. It is best to let them disappear completely in the sight of the Blood Wolf, become a top secret, and completely prevent anyone from knowing it outside the matter. Compared with the private armored military system, it is insignificant. At most, the military supervisors and military officials will only criticize and confiscate military merits. However, when it comes to armor forging, any involvement, whether it is a varied flag, a craftsman or a soldier of the two flags, must be kept silent, and we cannot be ruthless, and should be killed or killed!"

Speaking of this, Cheng Dian, a well-behaved and kind-hearted man, also showed his decisiveness and ruthlessness as he should have.

Cheng Dian and Liu Jian's support and help warmed Shangguan Lu's heart, but forging armor is indeed a taboo, and Shangguan Lu is unwilling to implicate them, let alone Zhiwei Wei Peng is his brother of a different surname.

"Cheng Dian, Liu Jian, Shangguan Lu thanked me here, but there is no airtight wall in this world. Anything that does will always leave traces and cover it up, which is just a temporary solution. Any of these numerous aftermaths will be able to survive this disaster safely. If the four of us and others die in battle, everything will disappear. Whether it is fame or guilt, it will be the past!"

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, and the four people, who were worried, fell into deep thought.

After a long time, Cheng Dian looked at Shangguan Lu with a complicated expression and whispered: "Jiangtou, it is a great blessing for the Blood Wolf to have you!"

"Jiangtou, Old Liu is willing to follow him to get rid of the regrets in my heart." Liu Jian agreed with gratitude.

Wei Peng smiled and suggested slowly: "Cheng Dian, Liu Jian, as Brother Lu said, everything is too early. According to my opinion, one is the light, the blood wolf iron hooves, the other is the dark, and it is the sharp blade. You can move many other matters such as training out of the camp. This matter is done by myself with Liu Jian. It is not withstand the hands of others. All soldiers are hidden among the blood wolf soldiers. They only appear during the marching and fighting. In this way, all traces can be covered as much as possible."

Wei Peng's proposal made Shangguan Lu and the other two lit up. Shangguan Lu immediately said, "This is the best, this is the best!" Instead, he looked at Cheng Dian and Liu Jian, the two big brothers who were very caring for him, and said affectionately: "Shangguan Lu thanks both of you, thank you!"

Shangguan Lu seemed to have a calm tone, but the shaky water droplets in his eyes were shaking and finally fell down, which was enough to show his mood at this moment. Cheng Dian and Liu Jian were deeply pleased with his protection, but some things and some words did not need to be said.

After revealing his true feelings, Shangguan Lu also told Cheng Dian and the other person that he had another arrangement, which was to select soldiers in the camp, select soldiers who had accumulated external strength on the five symbols, and then select iron-hoofed soldiers from them, teach them to become warriors, and the cavalry formed by warriors was enough to look down on the Tartars.

Then he discussed the matters that Wang Jundu pointed out to Tongzhi. Naturally, he also raised and transported food and grass for Kuilingfeng.

Everything was agreed. After Shangguan Lu sent the three of them away, he sat alone on a chair. Thinking about the little things he had entered the Blood Wolf Guard Village, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After using late meals, Shangguan Lu found Fang Zong: "Senior Brother Fang, the officers of the guards and the subordinates of the army in the tomorrow, went to Kuilingfeng to visit the uncle of the teacher. You still have to worry about your trip. By the way, the junior brother still has some things to ask for the uncle of the teacher."

Fang Zong immediately shirked: "Senior Brother Shangguan, please call me junior brother in the future, otherwise the teacher should beat me up again. I dare not be the name of Senior Brother!"

"It's just a title, not to mention that Senior Brother Fang is older than Junior Brother!"

"Senior Brother Shangguan..."

"Okay... Then follow what Senior Brother Fang said." Shangguan Lu saw Fang Zong's expression in embarrassment, not like making a false statement, so he could only do this.
