Wu Haogu can't fight, so Tao Jiefu and Wang En just think that they are transparent. ~Su Meng~Xiao~ Say~щ~lā But Gao Qiu is an international famous general and an invincible existence!

This time, as the deputy general manager of Hedong Road, he brought three infantry generals, one cavalry general and 2,000 cavalrymen from the prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures and prefectures is nothing, but a cavalry general and 2,000 cavalry are not a joke, it is at least 5,000 cavalry. Wherever it is placed, it is a powerful soldier.

"Gao Shiyan brought at least 5,000 cavalry, and most of Wu Chongdao's 3,000 cavalry will be under his command, so that is 8,000 cavalry! There are 1,000 armored cavalry among them." Tao Jiefu calculated by his fingers, "and there are many war horses and pack horses captured directly by the Imperial Horses in the Amitabha Cave... It seems that this job that is to manage the vast sea of ​​grassland is the only one in Gao Shiyan."

The old military strategist Wang En frowned and said, "Can a Shuozhou feed Gao Shiyan?"

Judging from his tone, this battle seemed to be not a war, but a contribution. If it were not considered the biggest battle, Lingzhou, now the ones in front of the Eastern Army were Xiazhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou and Shuozhou. And the three armies of Hedong, Huanqing, and Fuyan, plus the troops of the three straight ahead of the front.

Tao Jiefu shook his head: "No matter whether he is full or not, that's all. Huanqing, Fuyan and the two armies of the two fronts of the imperial court were directly consuming Xia, You and Yan, and they were not too full. I really wanted to eat a lot of oil, so I had to take Lingzhou anyway!

Old Grand Marshal Wang, can the candidate for generals led by Huanqing Army be decided this time?"

Wang En, the old military strategist, was originally the general manager of Huanqing Road, but he was transferred to Fuyan Road not long ago. However, there are many disciples and old officials in Huanqing Army, and the news is very well-informed.

"It has been decided," said Wang En, "it is the chief of the capital Guo Xinzhi."

Guo Xinzhi was Guo Cheng. In the second battle of Pingxiacheng in the first year of Yuanfu, he made extraordinary achievements with 5,000 defenders against Empress Dowager Xiaoliang's hundreds of thousands of troops. Later, he and Zhe Keshi sneaked into Tiandu Mountain and made another contribution. Therefore, he was promoted and is now appointed as the defensive envoy of Xiongzhou and the commander of Huanqing Road Capital.

"Okay! Guo Xinzhi is also a rare tiger general." Tao Jiefu smiled when he heard this, "Our Fuyan army naturally depends on you, Old Taiwei Wang!"

"It's so heavy," Wang En excitedly said, "I'm a fighter, and killing the enemy is a matter of duty."

"Then ask someone to invite Guo Xinzhi and Gao Shiyan to Yan'an, oh, invite Wu Chongdao, let's discuss it together."

Although Tao Jiefu had long been confident, the military proposal still wanted it. After all, there were more than 100,000 troops on the books of the four armies. Even if the more than 10,000 people left in Yinzhou by Wu Haogu, there were still more than 80,000 and almost 90,000 left.

If you don’t discuss it carefully, it will be inconsistent when the army starts. So even if you don’t look down on Wu Haogu, Tao Jiefu asked him to come to Yan'an Prefecture to gather.

...

Outside the east gate of Amitabha Cave City, Wu Haogu rode on a tall Hequ horse, with a red cloak behind him, which was blew by the strong wind in the wild.

1,000 armored knights lined up and stood next to their respective war horses and waited quietly.

Of course, these knights are the knights who are in front of the palace that shocked Hetao! Although Wu Haogu drew 200 to 20 stair commanders and his own military commands, they did not affect the combat effectiveness of this elite cavalry at all.

After adding to the "Gunda Knight" brought by Wanyan Xieye and Wu Haogu's own "problem young knight", the Royal Horse became even sharper.

It looks sharp!

The knights who were originally protected by leather armor are now nearly half covered with the shiny Qingtang wart armor.

Most of these wart armor were seized from the battlefield, and dozens of mates were given to Tong Guan by the British people of Qing Tang. Originally, Tong Guan planned to send this batch of armor and dozens of dragon stallions to Kaifeng Mansion. However, they were intercepted by Wu Haogu. The dragon stallions were raised on the grassland near the Amitabha Cave and held their hooves with the herds. Qing Tang Jia was distributed to the knights for use, and an average of one team (a team of 50 people) was divided into seven or eight mates.

The knights assigned to the Qing Tang Armor will be placed in the forefront or center of the formation in the future charge and act as the attack arrow for the entire team!

The knights' war horses have also been changed, and they are all tall Hequ horses.

In addition, the somewhat insidious cavalry crossbows also popularized all armored cavalry, including the forty-eight cavalry Jurchen Ganda (two more died, one of whom died of illness) and obtained weapons called "Jianghe Cavalry Crossbow". In the future, when they acted as far-distance blocks, they could use cavalry crossbows to get rid of Yin people.

The tactics of this armored cavalry have also made great progress after more than a month of training. Among them, the tactics of light cavalry come from Wu Haogu's fake sub-corps, while the tactics of heavy cavalry charges are Jurchen wheel tactics.

With such a cavalry, not to mention the Tie Yaozi of the Western thief, even the Tie Lin army of the Khitans has arrived. Wu Haogu also has the determination to fight, uh, there is a determination! There is also a deed! But the command will not go to the front line...

When Wu Haogu was thinking about whether to let Zhao Tieniu or Murong Gu, or simply let Wanyan Xie go to command the cavalry, he saw a dozen fast horses sent out to welcome him, and shouted to Wu Haogu from afar: "Master Gao is here, Master Gao is here."

Many of the knights waiting were Gao Qiu's old subordinates. At this time, a low buzzing sound was made, and they began to sort out their battle robes and armor involuntarily, and the horses also started to noise.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar, from far to near, and finally connected into a piece, making the earth tremble slightly!

Wu Haogu looked back at Brother Zhao Zhong and asked in a low voice: "There are almost 5,000 riders, right?"

Brother Zhao Zhong nodded: "More than that, there should be more than 10,000 riders."

"One man and two horses?" Wu Haogu was stunned, "Is the Hedong Army so generous?"

"It is impossible for one person to have two horses," Zhao Zhongge smiled, "but it is still possible to do one horse, one donkey, or one horse, one mule."

The cavalry with one man and two horses was probably only able to achieve the effects of the imperial knights, the Fan Han cavalry on Xihe Road, and some generals.

However, after all, Hedong Road is a front line against the Western thieves and Khitans, and it enjoys priority in the supply of horses. Cavalry always have horses to ride... In Hebei and the capital, cavalry may not have horses anymore. Cavalry without horses are of course still cavalry! Because the Song Dynasty court would pay according to the standards of cavalry, and cavalry would receive more money than imperial infantry!

So although there were no horses, there were really many cavalrymen in the Song Dynasty, and perhaps more than those in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

However, in the eyes of cavalry experts such as Murong Wangyou, Zhao Zhongge and Murong Murong, even if they can get a cavalry of one man and one horse, most of them will not need to survive.

Because most of the horses under their crotch do not meet the standards of war horses, and they are not well cared for. They cannot rush up when they go to the battlefield, but they are just a means of transportation. Even if they barely rush up, they may shake the cavalry on the horse's back and lose their combat effectiveness. Raising such cavalry is better than raising some infantry riding donkeys... At least donkeys are cheaper than horses, and the Song Dynasty is not short of donkeys. It is good to ride donkeys and fight on donkeys.

Gao Qiu's flag soon appeared in Wu Haogu's sight, facing the strong wind on the grassland, flying. Then hundreds of soldiers surrounded Gao Taiwei and Yang Kebi appeared in sight.

These hundreds of knights were all strong men, with neatly dressed and armored, and their armor was made of good leather, painted black, and were covered with long horses on their backs. Hundreds of black-armored knights gathered together, and their shiny tips were pounding, which really had a little momentum.

When he got closer, Wu Haogu noticed that the black armored knights were actually two-horse riders!

Wu Haogu turned his head and said to Brother Zhao Zhong, "Brother Zhong, it seems that Grand Marshal Gao has learned your real skills."

Brother Zhao Zhong nodded: "Not bad... there are almost 500 armored cavalry, and if you use it well, you can fight ten. I wonder if they can fill the distance and stop them?"

"It's a bit difficult," Wu Haogu smiled, "It's hard to practice as far as a raid who rushes to the formation."

But it’s not bad to have 500 armored horses! Plus our 1000 armored horses are 1500 riders. It’s enough for the Western Pirates’ Iron Harrier to drink a pot!"

While the two were talking, Gao Qiu and Yang Kebi were already surrounded by the Arctics and came to Wu Haogu.

These 500 armored cavalry were selected by Taiwei Gao from the four cavalry generals of the Hedong Army!

Although Taiwei Gao did not do anything good in history, it does not mean that he is stupid and he is really stupid and cannot become an international Cuju star, and it is even more impossible to turn around and become a three-yamen army. Although he did not lead the troops well in the three-yamen army, it is not all his fault. No one in the Northern Song Dynasty knew how to train the house slave soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture, except Wu Haogu!

Now, the international famous general Gao Taiwei has learned a lot of ways to lead troops to fight from the battlefield. One of them is to have an impact cavalry that can make a final decision on the battlefield!

He could not do it to get hundreds of far-distance stops that could stand on the back of a galloping horse, but it could still be achieved by selecting 500 strong men who could ride horses and hold guns from the large number of Hedong imperial guards.

So it took Gao Qiu more than a month to choose one by one with Yang Kebi, and finally selected 500 armored cavalry, known as the black armored striker.

Seeing Wu Haogu and Zhao Zhongge rolling over and getting off the horse cleanly and walking towards his own house, Gao Qiu also laughed and got off the horse's back and laughed at Wu Haogu: "Dalang, how about the 500 black armored front-selling cavalry brought by a family? Is there the momentum of a knight in front of the emperor? They all came for the 1,500 acres of vocational land of the knight!"
