There are many types of cavalry, but there is no detailed division of arms in this era, and the arms are very single.
For example, most of the cavalry in northern Xinjiang were light cavalry.
There is a lack of mineral veins on their side, and the soldiers' armor is naturally not made of copper and iron, but is all woven with special rattan.
This is similar to their ancestors, the Qiang Wu clan.
The vine armor of the Qiang Wu tribe is repeatedly soaked in oil, supplemented by special craftsmanship, with strong toughness and good defense. The key is lightness.
However, look at the fate of the Qiang Wu clan. Hundreds of thousands of cavalry soldiers were burned to death by the fire of the prime minister Huangfu. The three tribes in the northern Xinjiang have learned the lessons of their ancestors and transformed the rattan armor craftsmanship. Afraid of fire.
The infantry in the northern Xinjiang is similar to the cavalry, wearing rattan armor and holding a large sword or a spear.
As for the classification of arms and cooperation in combat
Oh, there's that stuff
Jiang Pengji had also fought against the Tsing Yi Army, and the opponents were all unarmored soldiers with less than five combat effectiveness.
The Northern Xinjiang Raiders and Infantry are not comparable to the third-rate ones like the Tsing Yi Army. The number alone is enough to scare people.
To deal with such an enemy, it is natural to show a serious attitude and let them experience the art of war.
Therefore, it is very important to classify the arms.
If a single unit encounters restrained units, it will be a nightmare.
Jiang Pengji talked about her plan, and prepared to divide the army under her hands into different arms for targeted training.
Feng Jin said, "Time is too tight, we don't have enough manpower, I'm afraid it will be difficult—"
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to try it, otherwise, you can only sit back and wait."
If the northern Xinjiang is to send troops, it will definitely take preparation time. Jiang Pengji can just hurry up and train new recruits.
In ancient times, many men were recruited into military camps, and they could be brought to the battlefield after a few days of training, but the combat effectiveness and quality of that kind of soldiers were not good. Winter and summer.
Severe weather can temper people's will and body even more.
As for spring and autumn
Spring helps with spring plowing, autumn helps autumn harvest, and I continue to train in my spare time. Anyway, I can’t stop.
After entering Jiang Pengji's barracks, there is a training period all year round, and only one day off in January is given.
After such training, the soldiers can definitely be regarded as elite soldiers, not to mention that most of them have participated in more than one battle, and their combat experience and quality are far better than those of the young recruits. One pick five.
Almost a day later, the news of An Yina's sudden death also spread to the other three counties of Fengyi County.
When Qi Guanrang received the news, the sky was dark. He was handling documents with an oil lamp. He was already so sleepy that his eyelids were fighting. When he heard the news, it seemed like a lightning bolt had passed from his head to the soles of his feet, which made him wake up immediately.
Xu Ke's reaction was similar. He left his job and sent a letter to Xiangyang County overnight.
The only ones who were calm were Wei Ci and Yang Si from Cheng'an County.
To be precise, Wei Ci was the only one.
Yang Si asked, "Why aren't you in a hurry? With the ambition of the wolf in the northern border, the troops will definitely not be weak. With the military strength of Chongzhou alone, how can they resist their iron hoofs? Once the frontier is forced, Dongqing is afraid that he will go to the frontier. Nansheng's old way... Your lord is afraid that the head of the item will not be guaranteed!"
Yang Si doesn't care who will be the emperor of Dongqing, but it must not be an alien from the northern Xinjiang!
Wei Ci smiled instead, "Don't worry, Beijiang shouldn't be able to fight this time, and they themselves have a forehead lawsuit."
Yang Si was surprised, and hurriedly asked him, "You rubbish fox, just say what you have to say, hide half of what you say, and you are not afraid of being beaten. Tell me carefully, why can't Beijiang be beaten this time? They It has been a long time since Dongqing was coveted. Now the war in the north is endless, and the troops in the south are constantly fighting. This is a good time for the northern border to send troops to the south. Could it be that the three tribes in the northern border are in civil strife?"
Wei Ci shook her head, "Now this king of the Northern Xinjiang Imperial Court is extremely dignified, he is in his prime, and his imperial means are also strong. As early as when he became the king, he had already unified the forces of Northern Xinjiang. When he was in his twilight years Or before his death, there will be no chaos in the northern border."
Yang Si is puzzled. There is no civil strife in the northern border, so why can't it go south
Wei Ci said, "The Buddha said, don't say it."
Yang Si said angrily, "Fuck! You are just asking for a beating."
Mistaken friends!
On this question, Wei Ci has already sent a letter to Xiangyang County.
Others didn't understand, but he believed that Jiang Pengji would definitely believe his words.
The letters from Qi Guanrang, Xu Ke, and Wei Ci were delivered almost from front to back, and the three messengers all came on horseback overnight.
Jiang Pengji tore open the flame paint and took out the neatly folded letter paper inside.
She first read the letter from Qi Guanrang, who arrived first, then Xu Ke's letter, and finally Wei Ci's letter.
Different from the first two inquiries about countermeasures, Wei Ci's envelope contained only a few words.
It was just these few words that made Jiang Pengji stretch his brows and eyes, and his eyes glowed with joy.
[At the beginning of November in the 20th year of Tianwu, horse plague in northern Xinjiang, war horses contracted the disease and died suddenly, 12 out of 10 survivors]
She read the letter, fetched the fire fold, and burned it to ashes.
"If this is the case, it seems that I will ask Uncle Gu to make the last gold in the northern Xinjiang, and make it harder!"
The color of her eyes seemed to be flickering, she spread out a piece of paper, grinded and picked up a pen, and wrote a letter.
"Come here, call the head of the brick kiln, and discuss with you on important matters."
Among the armies of the three tribes in the northern Xinjiang, the infantry and the cavalry have reached a level of one to two. If a large number of war horses are infected and die, it is tantamount to cutting their right-hand man. In recent years, don't try to restore the peak combat power, let alone go south. It bought a lot of time for Jiang Pengji's growth.
I used to feel that there was not enough time, but now I am a little relieved.
It's just that she didn't completely believe the contents of the letter. She didn't doubt Wei Ci, but just because of the butterfly effect. Who knows if the horse plague in northern Xinjiang will happen regularly? Maybe it was fanned by butterfly wings, maybe time went backwards.
Jiang Pengji will not take it lightly until it is fully confirmed. It is still necessary to prepare.
However, no matter whether the northern border has the ability to send troops to the south, the business there will not last long.
Jiang Pengji intends to make the last of the money and make millions more.
The brick kiln manager came overnight, and Jiang Pengji ordered him to open the brick kiln again to burn a large number of exquisite glassware.
Previously, the number of glassware fired was limited and the sales were slow, creating the illusion that glass was very precious.
Almost every aristocrat in northern Xinjiang is fashionable to own a set of glass tea sets. Those ladies in northern Xinjiang like to collect jewelry made of glass products. Wearing a set is super face, making them the focus of banquets, and more ladies. Money can't buy it.
Now that Dongqing and Beijiang are about to go to war, Jiang Pengji intends to make a fortune before the relationship breaks down.
Set a small goal and earn him a million dollars first!
