Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 62 Cavalry Drill
After Li Bai left Cao Cao's residence, he immediately rode to the Volunteer Army camp to tell you the good news.

"Great, brother, thank you."

Hearing Li Bai's words, Yue Fei was very excited.

"You perform well tomorrow. The better you perform, the more you will be valued by the prime minister, and the more chance you will stand out with the prime minister in the future." Li Bai patted Yue Fei on the shoulder and said.

"I will definitely perform well tomorrow, thank you, senior brother." Yue Fei said.

"You prepare well, I'll go back first." Li Bai said to Yue Fei.

"I send you."

…………

After Li Bai brought the news, he left the barracks.

After Li Bai left, Yue Fei immediately gathered all the officers of the Volunteer Army for a meeting.

Shortly afterwards, the horn for the assembly of the whole army sounded, and countless soldiers gathered on the school grounds.

Yue Fei told everyone the news that Prime Minister Cao would review the volunteers tomorrow.

In the joyful mood of everyone, he began to assign tasks.

Soon, all the soldiers of the Volunteer Army took action.

The next day, outside the west gate of Gangping County, countless soldiers and officials blocked the entire area here.

Even the residents outside the city were politely invited out by the yamen servants.

At noon today, Prime Minister Cao was going to inspect the 5000-strong volunteer army, and many people were preparing early in the morning.

500 meters outside the city, countless straw people were erected densely, there were almost tens of thousands of them, and they didn't know what they were doing.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Yue Fei's five thousand volunteers finally arrived outside the city.

Each of the 5000 people led a horse and carried weapons on their backs. When marching, they formed a large square formation horizontally and vertically, which was very neat.

All the soldiers looked forward with their heads held high, without making any unnecessary noises, making the entire army look very solemn.

"Everyone listen to the order, move to the right, stand still, take a rest, turn right, stand still."

The 5000 people are neat and uniform, even if they are leading the horses, they are also neat and tidy.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city wall were surprised to see the uniform march and arrangement of the volunteers.

Then, under everyone's gaze, the 5000 members of the Volunteer Army stood there with their heads held high, motionless and without making any sound, giving people a chilling feeling.

"They won't just stand like this?"

On the city wall, the soldiers of Cao Jun who were guarding were talking a lot.

"Where are these soldiers? Why are they so neat?" A soldier asked.

These soldiers were the guards who followed Cao Cao from Yecheng. They didn't know the famous volunteer army in Youzhou.

"do not know."

"How long do you think they can stand like this?" someone asked again.

"I shouldn't be able to stand for long. It's tiring to stand like this. Just watch." Someone said.

Just when Yue Fei led the army to the outside of Junping County, someone reported the news to Cao Cao.

"Since we said the inspection at noon, let's wait." Cao Cao said to everyone.

Time passed, half an hour, an hour, two hours.

Yue Fei's army outside the city stood there for two hours without making a sound.

At this time, whether it was the government servants on the city wall or the soldiers brought by Cao Cao, they all looked at the volunteers outside the city with only admiration.

On the city wall, a young man looked at the volunteers outside the city and asked a middle-aged man, "What do you think, sir?"

"It is a well-trained army, and its combat power should not be bad."

The middle-aged man said to the young man: "I heard that the leader of this army is also a student of Mr. Ruixiang. His name seems to be Yue Fei. He is very famous in Youzhou."

"Mr. Ruixiang's students seem to be very good," said the boy.

"Young Master, you still have to work harder to win over Mr. Ruixiang! You also know how much the Prime Minister values ​​Mr. Ruixiang. In order to win over Mr. Ruixiang, the Second Young Master even did not hesitate to marry his student Liu Rushi. You..."

"I also wanted to marry Liu Rushi back then. It had nothing to do with Mr. Ruixiang, but I didn't expect my second brother to take the lead. Damn it." The young man punched you on the wall and said.

"Mr. Ruixiang has so many female students, it's better for the young master to marry one, so at least the second young master won't take advantage of all of them."

The middle-aged man said: "I think that Chen Yuanyuan is very good. She is about the same age as the young master. She is not only talented, but also looks good..."

"The prime minister is here."

At this moment, a commotion came from the city wall, interrupting the chat between the young man and the middle-aged man.

In Luping City, a group of soldiers led the way, and a group of nobles were in the middle, slowly riding a carriage towards the west gate.

This group of people is exactly Cao Cao and his civil servants and generals.

Soon, Cao Cao and his party came to the west gate, but they did not leave the city, but boarded the city wall.

"I saw my father."

"I have seen the Prime Minister."

The teenagers and middle-aged people who had spoken on the city wall before quickly saluted Cao Cao in the crowd.

It turned out that this boy was Cao Zhi.

"Zhi'er has already arrived." Cao Cao nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, a group of people came to the city wall, and Cao Cao saw the uniform army formation outside the city at a glance.

"Have they been standing like this?" Cao Cao asked a guard standing guard on the city wall.

"Back to the Prime Minister, yes, they were standing there an hour ago without moving." The guard said to Cao Cao.

"Good soldiers." Hearing what the guards said, Cao Cao couldn't help admiring.

"Inspector Li, since I'm here, let them start!" Cao Cao said to Li Bai beside him.

"Obey." Hearing Cao Cao's order, Li Bai quickly agreed.

Soon, a horn sounded, and at the same time, a large flag on the city wall was waved.

At the same time, outside the city, the Volunteer Army Array, which was originally like a sculpture, moved quickly as if it had suddenly come to life.

Countless people got on their horses, and their movements were smooth and smooth, uniform, and everyone on the city wall applauded.

"That's right, your junior brother is a good soldier." Cao Cao said to Li Bai.

Outside the city, when the 5000 volunteers got on their horses, Yue Fei took out a bull horn and blew it.

After a bugle, the five thousand cavalry began to move.

Five thousand cavalry, slowly accelerating, rushed towards the scarecrow phalanx thousands of meters away.

After a few hundred meters, all five thousand cavalrymen took out short cavalry bows.

Soon, the cavalry rushed in front of the scarecrow phalanx.

At this time, many people thought that the cavalry would directly attack the scarecrow phalanx.

However, beyond everyone's imagination, the [-] cavalry did not charge directly after approaching the scarecrow phalanx, but divided into two cavalry, and circled around the scarecrow phalanx.

At the same time, countless cavalrymen began to bow and shoot arrows on their horses.

Amidst the bouncing sound of bowstrings, countless feathered arrows quickly shot into the scarecrow army formation.

It turned out that scarecrows were all targets.

In the next time, five thousand cavalry began to shoot arrows while riding horses around the scarecrow phalanx.

"Here, how can they shoot arrows on horseback?"

Seeing this scene, many people were very surprised.

Archery on horseback is not a skill that ordinary people can master. Even the nomads who grew up riding horses on the grasslands can shoot arrows while riding horses.

In this era, riding a horse is very tiring, not only to maintain body balance, but also to clamp the belly of the horse with legs when running to prevent falling off the horse's back.

In such a situation, not to mention archery, even holding a knife has become a problem.

In cavalry combat in this era, the cavalry would hold a long halberd and bend over, holding the halberd on the horse's back to charge as a group. If the charge was blocked, both sides would dismount and fight on foot.

"I see, it must be the strange saddle on the horse's back." Soon, someone saw some tricks.

In this era, many saddles are just cushions on the horse's back with animal skins, and the cavalry in front of them, the saddles with two high ends are really strange.

With so many cavalry in front of them being able to shoot arrows while riding, many people naturally attribute this to the strange saddle.
