"The grass grows and the beards fly in February, and the willows blow on the embankment are drunk with spring smoke. Children come back from school early, so they are busy flying kites in the east wind."
Winter goes and spring comes, and in a blink of an eye, it is the spring when grass grows and beetles fly. Youzhou is gradually controlled by the Xiaoguo Army. During this period, within the Youzhou area, the subordinates of the Tiqisi, whether they are the scout guards on the surface,
The secretly reconnaissance cavalry and death warriors were all eliminated by Zhao Xun with the most cruel means.
The former governors, county magistrates, military magistrates, and military magistrates of the prefectures and counties of Youzhou were all escorted by Zhao Xun to Luoyang City one by one. The charge was naturally to participate in Li Huaiyuan's rebellion. The new governor, county magistrate, military magistrates, military magistrates.
The commander also arrived in Youzhou one by one.
However, they found that the facts were not as beautiful as they expected. The governor, county magistrate and trusted Youzhou Xuanfu envoy all discovered that they were indeed the chief officials of one prefecture and one county, but the subordinate officials were not at all
Pay attention to them and deal with them automatically. Not only the assistant officials, but also the people in Youzhou seem to be a little unfamiliar with them and ignore their existence.
Fortunately, as long as they sit in their seats honestly and don’t do anything, money is indispensable, and they will be offered by Xiaoguojun. If they want to interfere in local government affairs, they are embarrassed, and all kinds of things will come out.
Let them live a normal life. Want to sue? Without the consent of Xiao Guojun, you officials, you officials cannot spread a single Mao. Maybe you will be beaten and beaten, and no one will even take care of it.
Compared with these civil servants, the officials of the government army were even more depressed. Apart from the local government offices, they had no army at all. The original government army has now become county soldiers, and the county soldiers are under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant.
The county magistrate was also the county assistant who had restored the old system of the previous dynasty. As for these prefectural officers, they were completely decorated. However, the Xiaoguo Army did not let them lose money. They gave the money they should give, but they had to be obedient.
.
Youzhou City, the former governor's office also became Zhao Xun's General Yunhui's residence. Compared with the Youbei Survey, General Yunhui is more suitable for the title of the entire Youzhou. Since then, the Youzhou Rebellion has been quelled and the court has also
There was no reward, and no response. In this regard, not only did the Xiaoguo Army be extremely dissatisfied with the court, but some people were not satisfied with it. They made great contributions but had no rewards. What is the reason?
Speaking of which, the main reason why the court did not give rewards was Zhao Xun. He killed more than a thousand guards of the Tiqisi in Youzhou, making the left prime minister Situ Lei hated him to the core.
The problem is naturally that there is no instruction, and the political discussions in the court were also not rewarded by Situ Lei on the grounds that Zhao Xun and Li Huaiyuan colluded.
Although everyone knows that there is something tricky here, there is no evidence. Furthermore, having merit means having merit. In the eyes of people who do not understand the actual situation, the court will not reward meritorious people and fall under the predicament. Zhao Xun naturally does not
In consideration, no reward is more important than the strength in your hands. Zhao Xun cares more about the martial arts college in Yanzhou City and the four or five thousand orphans secretly trained on the side of the north horse farm in Yanzhou City. Moreover, these orphans are still slowly increasing.
They all experienced brainwashing education, reading and literacy, fighting methods, simple military knowledge, and all learned everything. These people were loyal to Zhao Xun than the soldiers in the Xiaoguo Army, but they were still young and could not be sent to the full range.
Useful. However, many people have already entered the integrated army.
Among the five government troops of the Xiaoguo Army, each has 20,000 people, 3,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry. Xue Qinglan and Qin Daolin were appointed as generals of the front and rear palaces respectively. The original generals were both young and had little practical experience.
. Therefore, he gave way to the two veterans and learned some experience.
The cavalry battalion and the Marine Cavalry battalion were not changed, but each cavalry battalion, including the cavalry battalion of the five prefectures, was composed of three thousand cavalry and four thousand war horses. Among them, the heavy cavalry was one man and two horses. During the war, one horse was riding on the man.
A horse is wearing heavy armor.
The entire territory of Youzhou fell into the hands of the Xiaoguo Army, and the two dangerous roads in the dangerous places were also occupied by the Xiaoguo Army. Therefore, the current Xiaoguo Army only needs to deploy defenses in Hengzhou Prefecture and Yizhou Prefecture, and prepare for defense.
Outside Jizhou, there are all ethnic groups in the north. But winter is too cold for the north, especially the nomadic peoples, who are definitely the number one natural enemy. This is also the reason why the three Khitans have hooked up with Zhao Xun, and the eight Khitans have
But when the snow comes, the real nomadic peoples will be a disaster for them.
Although the tribes of the Marine tribes were semi-nova and semi-farming, they were also affected. For this reason, the merchants in Youzhou moved around in the snow and exchanged salt, tea and food in their hands for cattle, sheep and war horses, which also made the Xiaoguo Army
The war horses have a lot of reserves.
The Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo Maihe did not move, so the Xiaoguo Army could not move either. For Zhao Xun, who urgently needed cultivation and stabilized the south, the more stable it is now, the better.
What made Zhao Xun the most happy was that his eldest son Zhao Rui could call him father, which made Zhao Xun feel happy and accompanied his son every day to tease them.
In addition, after taking Youzhou last year, Zhao Xun immediately launched the state examination. If it weren't for the prompt from the Government Affairs Department, Zhao Xun almost forgot that this year was the imperial examination once every three years, while last year was the state examination. Originally, this
The prefecture trial was conducted by a state Xuanfu envoy, but Zhao Xun hurriedly asked the Government Affairs Department to start the prefecture trial. Of course, there were officials from the court's Ministry of Rites invited from Jizhou. Originally, the Youzhou was in chaos, and the Ministry of Rites was in trouble.
There was no official sent to Youzhou to be responsible for invigilating the examination, but Zhao Xun still got officials from Jizhou who were about to leave to invigilate the examination for the scholars who passed the prefecture examination in Youzhou.
In March this year, it was the time when scholars from all over the world gathered in Luoyang. Zhao Xun did not pay attention to these things, and his eyes turned to the north. The three eastern prefectures that were once cut off from the northeast of Youzhou.
Last year, the Youzhou chaos was just a show of the situation. There was no real battle or a hard battle. Therefore, after several months of reorganization and Zuo Longxiang Guard was incorporated into the Xiaoguo Army, Zhao Xun turned his fingers at the target.
The land of the three eastern prefectures occupied by Sumohe.
"Everyone, Youzhou has been settled. Although the court did not give us rewards, everyone must not take it seriously. Now, our goal is to the northeast of Youzhou, the land of the East Three Prefectures occupied by Sumo Mohe in the past.
The land of the palace is the territory of our Yan Kingdom, but it was stolen by Sumo. The people of the three palaces were tortured and were waiting for our rescue. We cannot remain indifferent." Zhao Xun said loudly in the lobby.
"I am willing to be the pioneer!" Suddenly, many people asked for orders.
"It's great that everyone dares to fight. We don't know how many people have killed the Marine Army? We don't know how many people have captured it. The land of the three palaces must be brought back because this is our thing."
"General, the previous few times were the places where our left and right government troops were stationed. It's time for us to join the war this time." Xue Lei, the right government troops, said anxiously.
Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Okay, let the left and right troops go to war this time! The front government troops are stationed in Yanzhou Prefecture, and the north and the north sea tribes. The back government troops join the left and right troops to join the battle, and the middle government troops are stationed in Hengzhou Prefecture and Yizhou.
The front line of the mansion. The cavalry battalion of the Marine Cavalry assisted the Central Government Army to guard the southern line, Zhong Ying, Gu Ying, Gang Ying, and Xin Ying, the cavalry of the fourth battalion of the Marine Cavalry entered Shunzhou Prefecture to strictly prevent the Khitans. Once there is any change, let them quietly
The powerfulness of my Xiaoguo Army. The Chongjia Infantry Battalion and the Chongjia Cavalry Battalion are stationed in Youzhou Prefecture, with Dizi and Shanzi and Shanzi and Huo and go to battle with me."
The army was mobilized, Youzhou was turbulent, and the surrounding Bingzhou, Jizhou and Liaodong Kingdom in the north were not nervous, and wanted to see who the Xiaoguo army was about to attack.
"This time, the Nufeng Camp and the Zuofu Army will be transported by water, and land directly in the south of Xiping Prefecture, and will attack from the north of Sumo Marine. And I will lead the others to all the Marine Army in the three mansions.
Attract you to provide you with the convenience of attack." Zhao Xun pointed to the map and said slowly.
"Uncle Li, the right army will be handed over to you. The water operation troop may take several round trips. Therefore, at the beginning, if it is discovered, hold the harbor and wait for subsequent soldiers to come ashore. If it is not discovered, then build it
The water village provides a safe stationing point for the water camp."
Li Chenfeng nodded and said, "Xun'er, don't worry, we will definitely give Jing Shijun a ruthless blow from the back of Jing Shijun."
"Okay, you can go to Haizhou Prefecture. The supplies have been shipped there long ago. At that time, you only need to take a boat north."
Nearly 100,000 troops were advancing towards Haizhou Prefecture, and the target of the attack was naturally self-evident. The Liaodong Kingdom and Sumo Marine in the north were naturally preparing for war urgently, and they were not afraid of the Yan army, but this Xiaoguo army, they
You must be afraid. The Xiaoguo Army became famous by killing the Mariner Army.
After Zhao Xun's guidance, there were more and more things that could be built by a large-scale craftsman. Among the infantry, there were also three thousand crossbow soldiers in one capital.
Crossbows have been a weapon with great lethality since ancient times. Crossbows are a deadly weapon. The reason why they are widely used is that they do not require too much training to operate. Even new recruits can quickly become masters of crossbows.
, and the hit rate is extremely high, enough to kill an armored knight who spent his whole life in combat training.
Although the loading time of the crossbow is much longer than that of the bow, it has a longer range than the bow, has stronger lethality, a higher hit rate, and has relatively low requirements for users. It is an ancient powerful long-distance weapon.
The range of powerful crossbows can reach 600 meters, and the range of extra-large bed crossbows can reach 1,000 meters. According to Zhang Xian's method, it can be divided into arm-opening crossbows, stepping crossbows and waistopening crossbows, etc., and can also shoot at the same time by several arrows.
Or continuous shooting crossbows and bed crossbows equipped with several crossbow bows.
The largest crossbow has a range of up to 700 steps and a range of more than kilometers. However, such a large crossbow can only be operated by hundreds of people, which is too complicated.
The high cost, high difficulty production technology, and high failure rate are the shortcomings that limit the use of crossbows with the highest range and highest lethality. But even so, in the camp of Youjian, we create core workpieces for crossbows, while in the Marine slaves, we create them.
The arms and bows still provide a lot of crossbow arrows for the Xiaoguo Army.
Because there are many infantry troops, while Sumo and Marine have many cavalry, Zhao Xun also needs his subordinates to have such an infantry that competes with the light cavalry.
However, in history, in addition to the Qin crossbow arrows, there are many armies with crossbow soldiers. Many of them use crossbow soldiers to resist cavalry. For example, the first-row dead soldiers of the Three Kingdoms.
"Shao ordered Que Yi to take 800 soldiers first, and a thousand powerful crossbows were carried by him. Shao Zi formed a formation with tens of thousands of infantry soldiers. Yi had been in Liangzhou for a long time, and was very familiar with Qiang fighting, and his soldiers were all fierce and fierce." Jieqiao In the battle, these 800 "first" generals of Yuan Shao were named Tuo Yi (don't look down on him who was ignored by Romance. His early performance was even more eye-catching than the so-called "Four Generals of Hejian". Later, he was killed by Yuan Shao because of his pride in his contributions) Under his leadership, he actually defeated Gongsun Zan's "more than ten thousand" cavalry, including the elite "Baima Yicong"!
"Zan saw that his soldiers were few, so he let out a cavalry to sink him. The righteous soldiers all hid under the slums and did not move. Before they reached dozens of steps, they all stood up at the same time, screamed at the dust, clashed straight forward, and the powerful crossbows and thunder were fired, and they must be in the middle of the scene. ", the historical books are very clear that these 800 people "earned Qiang Fighting" and were familiar with "cavalry fighting". When Gongsun Zan's cavalry rushed over, they hid in "under the slums" and "before they reached dozens of steps" They rushed out together and shot down Gongsun Zan's "control string" that traverses across the north with thousands of "strong crossbows".
During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, led his troops to 5,000 soldiers, "all of them are the warriors and swordsmen of Jingchu" and went deep into the hinterland of the Huns and met the main cavalry of the Huns who were sixteen times that of him. As a result, they persisted for ten days. Fighting thousands of miles, killing tens of thousands of enemies! But in the end, Li Ling was captured all the arrows. Before being captured, he said: Give me three arrows to each of my soldiers, and we can persist to the border of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, they didn't have a single arrow. !It is said that they shot out a total of 500,000 arrows! From it, it can be seen that the lethality of the "strong crossbow" on the "string control" lacking heavy armor can be described as "terror".
In fact, when Yuan Shao fought with Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao, the one who was highly anticipated by Yuan Shao was that Zhang He's elliptical soldier was eventually rescued by the Xiandeng Dead Soldier who was not valued by Yuan Shao, and defeated the invincible white horse under Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop.
This time, the attack on Sumo Marine was against Sumo Marine. There were many cavalrymen. With crossbow soldiers, we could also give the Marine army a little color.
