Straight man of steel

Chapter 187
Zhang Yuan accompanied Wei Qing to the school field to check, and found that the drill at this time was very simple.

Those with guns, spears, and halberds just kept stabbing, while those with knives had a few more movements, but there was nothing surprising about it.

Zhang Yuan lost interest after watching it for a while, but he didn't talk too much about asking Wei Qing to change his current performance method.

It is very difficult to train more than 2000 people into masters, and an organized army also needs to be more concise.

If you don't pay attention on the battlefield, you will lose your life, and simple moves can often save more time to prevent accidents.

And these moves are not only simple but also really effective killing moves.

"General, has Your Majesty built a large number of horseshoes and stirrups recently?
If there are, we can get a batch of them over first, and replace them all, so that the soldiers can adapt to the cavalry fighting style early. "

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, but he still needed to remind Wei Qing, after all, the Qimen Army's main combat targets in the future would basically be the Huns' cavalry, so training the infantry here was a waste of time.

"Changshi is dissatisfied with the current performance method?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"How many war horses are there in the army now? If there are enough, we can choose a plain area and practice cavalry fighting there.

Horseback hacking is the best way to deal with the Huns, and infantry has a natural disadvantage against cavalry. "

Wei Qing immediately smiled wryly, obviously the situation is not as optimistic as Zhang Yuan imagined.

"The Qimen army now only has [-] horses, which is far from meeting the requirements that Chang Shi said.

Riding exercises will inevitably wear out the horses, and we cannot afford to lose them. Even if there are horseshoes, it does not mean that the horses will not be worn out.

And I estimate that we only have these [-] horses until we set out to fight. "

"Would it offend His Majesty and the Central Military Government if we pay our own money to collect horses from various places?"

Zhang Yuan still held on to the last glimmer of hope, so he asked Wei Qing this way.

Wei Qing thought that he still shook his head.

"If Chang Shi has a way to buy horses suitable for combat, His Majesty will not let you invest, but will reward you.

The horses that can be purchased cannot be used as war horses, which means that almost all the horses in the Han Dynasty that meet the standards of war horses are collected by His Majesty into the army. "

Now it seems that until the Xiongnu is defeated, the big man will never be able to change the lack of horses.

"I will ask the craftsmen at home to open a furnace to create a batch of fine steel horseshoes that can be used by our Qimen army.

Then divide the Qimen soldiers into two, one part is cavalry and the other part is infantry.

The cavalry is led by the general you to charge and kill the enemy, and the infantry is led by Gongsun Ao to defend and besiege the Huns. "

Only then did Wei Qing show joy on his face, and he patted Zhang Yuan's shoulder heavily.

"So good, so good!"

"General, can we give priority to equiping war horses for the second song?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the side, Zhang Yuanweiqing looked back, only to find that it was Xue Ren, a dude.

"This matter will naturally be weighed by General Ben and Chang Shi, so you don't need to say more."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand to stop Wei Qing from continuing to talk to Xue Ren, while he himself smiled at Xue Ren.

"My original intention is to give priority to equip all the horses in the first song, and then fill in the gaps with the remaining songs, which is impartial.

But what you said is also true, if all the cavalry consists of two songs, it will be much more convenient to command.

After listening to it for so long, you know that there are only [-] war horses in the army, and after making up the first song, there are only [-] horses left.

I will give you 200 horses for the second song, what about the other [-] people? "

The smile on Zhang Yuan's face became brighter and brighter because of the doubts on Xue Ren's face.

"But Chang Shi, now we only have 450 people in a song, isn't this only short of a hundred horses?"

Zhang Yuan's expression turned cold immediately, and he patted Xue Ren on the head.

"Are you stupid? Won't the vacant troops be replenished in the future?"

Zhang Yuan's way of dealing with Xue Ren in the past few days was to slap him and give him a sweet date, which made Xue Ren stunned for a while.

"Yes, yes, the end is stupid.

Does Chang Shi have any ideas for adding these two hundred war horses? "

Hearing Xue Ren mention it himself, a smirk appeared on Zhang Yuan's face again.

"You are the son of the Marquis of Guangping, using the resources of the Marquis of Guangping, it is not difficult to get two hundred war horses, right?
It is estimated that there are more than two hundred war horses in the Guangping Marquis Mansion, right? "

These Hou Ye have tens to hundreds of family generals in Chang'an, and there are even more Hou Guobing in Hou Guozhong.

Two hundred war horses can still be obtained.

"Chang Shi, do you want me to fill in this vacancy?
If you had told me earlier, all the generals in the mansion will be under the control of my eldest brother. I will go back to the mansion to mobilize [-] war horses. "

Xue Ren is also impatient, otherwise he would not have clashed with Wei Qing so directly, and left the barracks after saying this.

"Zhang Changshi, your move is really good."

Wei Qing was dumbfounded that Zhang Yuan could think of such a trick.

"The general's reputation is too high, the general can find all the honorable children in the army, as long as there are generals in their families.

Threats and temptations one by one, as many war horses as they can get.

It was so easy for Xue Ren to produce two hundred war horses, and the other young masters of the Hou Mansion would not be far behind.

We are not greedy, we can just get another [-] horses. "

Wei Qing also revealed the sinister smile on Zhang Yuan's face just now.

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not greedy."

Looking at Wei Qing's disappearing figure, Zhang Yuan almost felt that he had led this eternally famous general astray.

There were endless bad and damaging moves, and Wei Qing even dared to use his evil intentions on Liu Che.

I'm afraid the blackening will not be too far away.

Just as Wei Qing walked for a while, a soldier ran up to Zhang Yuan and said respectfully.

"Chang Shi, Sun Ao, the military commander, has arrived. Please go over with the general."

Zhang Yuan glanced at Wei Qing who was going away, and felt that it was more important to ask for the horse, so he said to the soldiers in front of him.

"The general has something important to do, so I can go alone."

"Here."

Gongsun Ao didn't have his own tent yet, so he waited in Wei Qing's tent when he first arrived, while Zhang Yuan followed the soldiers all the way.

He thought that Gongsun Ao was not waiting in the account, but greeted Zhang Yuan from a long distance away.

After Zhang Yuan responded, he asked the soldiers.

"Why don't you invite General Sima in?"

The soldier lowered his head and explained to Zhang Yuan.

"Chang Shi, this is the general's tent for the central army. Without the general's order, no one can put it in."

Thinking that this was probably one of the military regulations, Zhang Yuan figured it out.

Almost all the secrets in the army are in Wei Qing's big tent, it would be really bad if people were let in without passing through.
