"I will ask for instructions from the general." Wang Hui pondered for a moment and responded: "The last five hundred commanders were killed in battle, and half of your soldiers were supplemented from behind."
"They don't know much about cavalry tactics, nor do they know how to be a qualified cavalryman. Next, you have to train hard."
Wang Hui patted Zhao Shu on the shoulder: "As for the general's news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
"promise."
After meeting Wang Hui, Zhao Shu returned to his camp. He was also in the capital army and had been in the cavalry. He had only one thought in his mind about the cavalry.
That's mobility!
That is fast!
Of course, in this process, the most important thing is cooperation, cooperation between soldiers and soldiers, and cooperation between various warriors.
At the same time, the most important thing is the cooperation between man and horse. In this era, there is no three-piece cavalry suit, and it is very difficult to become an excellent cavalry.
This is also one of the reasons why in this era, the Central Plains cavalry, except for Zhao Bianqi, was unable to compete with the Mobei Huns.
Zhao Shu knew a lot about the cavalry three-piece suit and knew how to make one or two. However, after much thought, he thought it was not appropriate to take it out at this time.
The most terrifying thing about the Qin State is the black technology of bronze. However, due to the lack of iron mountains that are easy to mine, the Qin State's iron smelting technology is not developed and is far behind that of the Central Plains.
Now in the world, the Qin Dynasty is as powerful as a rainbow, and it is ready to unify the Eight Wastelands and Liuhe. He does not want this to add variables.
As a result, more people will die in this unification war.
Walking on the school grounds, observing the training of the cavalry soldiers, Zhao Shu frowned slightly. He found that some soldiers had difficulty even riding a horse.
"A, what's going on?" Zhao Shu stopped and looked at the hundred-man general A beside him.
"Master Five Hundred, we have five hundred soldiers in one unit, but most of them are infantrymen. There are only less than two hundred old soldiers."
A also looks ugly.
Looking at the armor, Zhao Shu said: "Scatter all the soldiers and reorganize them, use the old soldiers to lead the new soldiers, and teach them to ride horses."
"As a cavalryman, what's the matter if you can't even ride a horse!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, A went to the school grounds and loudly said: "The Master of Five Hundred has an order: disperse all the troops and start again, and encourage the old soldiers to lead the new ones."
"Teach all the new recruits how to ride horses first..."
Seeing this scene, Zhao Shu's head was pounding. He knew in his heart that there was a long way to go before this cavalry team could take shape.
At this moment, he was a little confused about what Yang Duanhe meant. Logically speaking, the experienced Five Hundred Master should be responsible for this matter, not him, a Five Hundred Master who came from the Death Soldier Battalion.
After watching for a while, Zhao Shu went back with a grimace. It was useless for him to stay in the camp. Before he learned how to ride a horse, any cavalry tactics were useless.
With a hundred people to train soldiers, Zhao Shu felt at ease. These people were more than enough just to train horseback riding.
Returning to the camp, Zhao Shu looked solemn. He knew in his heart that in this era, cavalry had just been born. As a new unit to replace chariot soldiers, there were not many cavalry tactics.
Even the cavalry of Great Qin only had that appearance, but they were not mature.
At this moment, Zhao Shu thought of the Mongolian cavalry that would dominate the world in later generations, the invincible cavalry that swept across the Eurasian continent.
According to records, the Mongolian cavalry is a well-trained, disciplined, tactically flexible, intelligent and courageous, formidable whirlwind force.
At that time, each soldier of the Mongolian cavalry was equipped with two bows, one for the horse and the other with higher accuracy for the horse.
There are three types of arrows: long, medium and short.
The heavy, short-range arrows were designed to penetrate armor. Everyone carried spare bowstrings, wax, and needle and thread for repairs.
These equipment are packed in a special leather bag that can be inflated when crossing the river.
The pen in his hand had not been put down for a long time, and Zhao Shu knew very well that these were secondary. In a real sense, the reason why the Mongolian cavalry was so domineering was because of the change in tactics.
Today's cavalry tactics are not ideologically divorced from the traditional group combat and step-by-step advance combat modes, and can only be regarded as an assault force of the traditional army.
After the rise of the Mongolian cavalry, the cavalry completely became the mainstream of the army. The most famous one at that time was the Crow Soldier Spreading Star Formation.
The cavalry uses this formation when it encounters the enemy on the move. Three three and five five will cover each other so that the enemy will not be surrounded and annihilated. It can give full play to the cavalry's rapid maneuverability and make it possible to advance and retreat in a timely manner.
This is a very flexible tactic.
However, it is of little use to him. He is just a five hundred leader, not the Qin Army's cavalry general.
Thoughts kept coming up in his mind, and finally Zhao Shu focused on one of the tactics.
Cavalry siege tactics.
This is a tactic used to attack the enemy's position. A cavalry column is used to attack the enemy's position.
If the enemy's position is loose, no matter how many troops the cavalry has, if they drive straight in and penetrate, the enemy will not be able to support it even though they have huge troops.
If one attack fails, multiple cavalry units will be organized to carry out multiple attacks. Find the enemy's weak points and succeed in one attack!
If this cavalry breakout tactic is used, combined with blitz warfare, the cavalry's mobility can be maximized.
This tactic can be used even with only 500 people.
Of course, Zhao Shu also knew that if he wanted to implement this tactic, his cavalry must be an absolutely elite force.
Moreover, people who command must be able to control the army like an arm and a finger.
He also saw the five hundred cavalry under his command today. There were many soldiers who couldn't even ride a horse. It was simply impossible to complete this tactic.
The most important thing is that without the three-piece cavalry set, it would be too difficult to grow a cavalry team. It would take a long time to develop the trust between man and horse.
"well!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh. He couldn't use the three-piece cavalry suit, so he could only make up for it with crazy training.
Of course, there is another point and that is war. In war, it is easiest for a cavalry to take shape. If it cannot learn how to do it, it will be swallowed up by the torrent of war.
Shogunate.
Sima of the Chinese army returned and faced Yang Duanhe and said: "General, the general has already arranged Zhao Shu. He just wants a 500-year-old master who has never been exposed to cavalry to control a cavalry that is mostly new soldiers. I'm afraid that
It’s difficult.”
At this moment, even the Chinese Army Sima was worried. He knew in his heart that once Wang Jian or Xianyang's order was conveyed, the war would begin.
Before this, if Zhao Shu's cavalry could not form combat effectiveness, they would only die if they encountered a war.
It may even affect the development of the war situation.
He couldn't figure out why Yang Duanhe would issue such an order.
Glancing at the Central Army Sima, Yang Duanhe Shen Sheng said: "This general has his own plan!"
