I became the son of Renzong

"I'm afraid the Four Jurchen Alliance is also planned by Yelu Yixin...~ Yelu Yixin is a character!"

"Jurchen... let the fourth prince support the collection of pirate weapons. As for the armaments in the imperial arsenal... we will talk about it at that time."

Whether it is Yelv Yixin or the Fourth Jurchen, strictly speaking, they all belong to the courtiers of Beiliao, but now they are rebelling.The civil strife in the Northern Liao Dynasty will help the country finally regain Yanyun. However, from the court level, supporting the rebels in this way is an indirect recognition of the rebellion.

In this era, there is no such thing as supporting the anti-court forces and still not having an impact.The royal family, no matter which dynasty it is, should be respected, and the court, no matter which dynasty it is, must be loyal.

It's not that Zhao Xi wants to be a bitch and set up a memorial archway, it's determined by his standpoint, he must express his jealousy and disgust towards the rebellion.It is already the maximum that can make the fourth prince stir up trouble.

The royal family is the position of the royal family, and the imperial court naturally also has the position of the imperial court.Facing the civil strife in the Northern Liao Dynasty, the imperial court needed to express itself.Both the courtiers and the army agree with this.

Therefore, there are still some battles in Hebei Road...

"Marshal, the artillery is not very effective. The Beiliao cavalry scattered widely. Unless the artillery hits the cavalry, the damage to the cavalry is almost zero. The Beiliao horses seem to have adapted to fighting amidst the sound of artillery fire... ···”

The deputy general was chattering with Wang Shunchen.Wang Shunchen saw it too, and was feeling annoyed.

For the first attack, he managed to come over from his brothers' reasoning, and he didn't expect it to be such a result.

This time Guochao is not a defensive war, but an offensive war.The situation has been turned upside down, but the result of the battle has not changed.

Don't look at the liveliness of their own fight, the real damage to Beiliao is almost no.Wang Shunchen was very worried.

Beiliao is still the same, it does not form any formations, and there are no special tactics when facing chariots, but the horses of Beiliao have adapted to the rumble of artillery fire, and the cavalry of Beiliao also know how to avoid skirmishers...

"Vice Marshal Chen, you sit in the Chinese Army, and this Marshal personally leads the cavalry to harass him once!"

Tactics cannot be fixed and must be adjusted with the situation on the battlefield.Wang Shunchen still knew this.

Since Guochao's artillery fire could not fully suppress the cavalry of the Northern Liao Dynasty, it tried to cooperate with artillery, infantry, and cavalry.

I have heard officials mention this concept in the lecture hall before, what is called multi-armed coordinated operations.Now that the imperial court has decided that this is a trial operation, then try it yourself first.

"Master, those are all fan riders..."

"There's so much nonsense! Now that the imperial court sent over, are you still worried about any accidents? What happened to Fanqi? Those who enter China are Chinese people..."

This is roughly the meaning of this sentence, I can’t remember the original text.As for foreigners, Wang Shunchen came from the Western Army in his early years, and he did not deal with foreigners once or twice, and not all foreigners were not human.

Even Wang Shunchen is envious of the current Fanqi team.Although it is still Qingqi, it is fully armored, which is the latest thin armor in Workshop City.Although he couldn't hold the horse lance and Mo Dao, Beiliao's arrows would definitely not do much damage.

Wang Shunchen also has the same equipment, he has checked it.

All the riders are Yishui's strong crossbows, short muskets, light horses, and carry no less than five tunnel-fired grenades... All the equipment is tailor-made by the workshop city. Specially made for cavalry.

If it weren't for the imperial court's overvaluation and high cost, Wang Shunchen would have dared to charge these three thousand cavalry directly into the enemy's formation and kill a few back and forth.

This kind of equipment is still used to riding on horseback. Not to mention that the opponent is not an elite, even the leather army and palace guards of the Beiliao should be fully suppressed.

After the encounter, first fire a round of strong crossbows, then open the way with grenades, charge directly with a horse, and finally hunt and kill with short muskets... What about the elite of Beiliao?

"This is the first time that the cavalry team has fought with artillery and chariot formations. This commander also knows that you are all treasures of the imperial court. Whether you are good-looking or warriors, this battle is the moment to test you."

"The court spends so much money and energy on you, it's not for you to show off, it needs to reflect your value on the battlefield, to prove on the battlefield that you are worthy of this equipment and the salary given to you by the court."

"This commander tells you that this battle is not only a moment to prove your fighting strength, but also to set an example for your successors. If you are defeated, it is obvious that you will completely cut off the way for the younger generations of your clan to join the army... ·Because, failing with such powerful equipment means that the court's expenditure is a waste, not as good as chariot infantry, and the court will no longer recruit cavalry!"

Wang Shunchen, standing on the general platform, rallied his strength, and gave a pre-battle lecture in front of the dark cavalry.

"Chariots are used for formation, and cavalry is for maneuvering and charging. This is something all soldiers are familiar with. How to cooperate in combat, I won't go into details. You have learned the operation manual and lectured in the martial arts hall."

"Now, Beiliao is on the north bank of the Baima River, and our chariot formation in Xiongzhou is also on the north bank of the Baima River. Confrontation is not my style. The Northern Liao cavalry in the formation, when they meet this commander, must also be defeated, defeated, and defeated!"

Chapter 885 Result of Trial Combat

Fanqi is indeed the treasure of Guochao now.

First of all, the selection criteria for Fanqi are strict. Even the family background has to be checked up to three generations. As long as they have been Dangxiang, Tubo, Uighur and Khitan nobles within three generations, they will not be recruited.

Secondly, it depends on whether the Han people have been slaughtered, or whether the family has been killed by the imperial army... It is difficult to resolve the life and death enmity. The imperial court will not train some elite cavalry who have hatred against the Han people and the imperial court. .

The last thing to look at is the ability to ride and shoot.This is not difficult for some people such as Dangxiang and Tubo. They all grew up on horseback. In the past, whether they were Tubo or Xixia, as long as they were 15 years old, they were collectively called string-controlling warriors.

It is precisely because of such strict conditions that it has been more than three years, and the Guochao is full of less than [-] cavalry teams.Of course, the Fanqi team is called the following, and the court called it cavalry.

At this time, the generals on the military side of the country were basically those who were from the old guard battalion and the guards, and the court also jokingly called the Eight King Kongs.Originally there were nine people, but now Gao Jingting is in charge of military affairs in the southwest, leaving eight of them to guard the northern border of the dynasty.

Therefore, apart from the Fanqi who were still training in the martial arts hall, Wang Shunchen could only get [-] riders.

Compared with the [-] soldiers of the Ansu Army and the Xinyi Army in the war, [-] is really not enough, and it is difficult to raise even basic coordinated combat units.It really can only be an experimental battle.

The border between Guochao and Beiliao was nearly ten thousand miles away, and it was not easy for Wang Shunchen to get these three thousand riders.

At the beginning, Wang Shunchen did not expose the cavalry, and fought against Beiliao in the original combat method... I believe that those from the old guard battalion and guards will do the same.

Chariots were originally the most suitable way to contain cavalry, coupled with the sharpness of firearms, I thought it should be enough to make Beiliao drink a pot.

It's a pity that when I first came into contact with them, I found that the Beiliao cavalry was no longer the original Beiliao cavalry. Not only the horses adapted to the artillery, but even the cavalry knew how to avoid the artillery and fought in skirmish lines.

At this time, we have to try the coordinated combat of infantry and cavalry, and we have to expose the big killer of light armored cavalry.

······

"Battle damage three to eight..."

"It's not bad. In the early years of the battle between Xixia and Beiliao, the battle losses were quite similar. Xixia and Tubo were also indistinguishable from each other."

"Wang Shunchen was apologetic, feeling ashamed of the court; Zhong Jianzhong's report was realistic, and clearly analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the cavalry battle between the two sides."

"The one with the largest loss ratio is actually Zhou Tong's. Although it wiped out the most enemies, it also lost the most new cavalry."

"Zhou Tong is good at attacking, so I can understand it. I don't know if he encountered the Pishi army or the palace guards, or Wu Luduo, Lin Ya, or the Han army?"

"According to the situation in the report, it should be that there are many Pishi troops, and some Wuluduo and Han troops are involved. There may not be many Han cavalry in the Northern Liao Dynasty training firearms, and they are not the core army anyway."

Reports of Hebei Province's tentative battles gradually reached the court. For the cabinet, such a result was acceptable.

The new cavalry of Guochao lost more than [-] cavalry, and beheaded more than [-] cavalry of the Northern Liao Dynasty.This data does not take into account the damage caused by chariots, infantry, and artillery, and only refers to the direct contact battles of cavalry.

For the situation of Guochao, which originally had almost no cavalry, such a report can indeed make people somewhat happy.

"One cavalry of the Kingdom Dynasty is enough to equip three or five light cavalry in Beiliao. We are light armored cavalry, while Beiliao is pure light cavalry. We are equipped with strong crossbows, grenades, and short muskets, while Beiliao is equipped with arrows and sabers. , In this way, it can’t really be said to be a big victory.”

"It's a little bit of a blame. The new cavalry has the possibility of improving in the first battle. It should be publicized and rewarded...the court must do these things properly."

Zhao Xi didn't get involved in the cabinet's discussion, he was still thinking about the report sent ahead in detail.

Light armored cavalry, after all, are still armored for war horses. They are not as powerful as heavy armored cavalry in charge, and their mobility is slightly worse than light cavalry.
