Huang Xuan signed the document and called Modister of Cabres—who is also currently the deputy minister of the import and export trade department of Hexin Industry. In the absence of a minister, his power is second only to Zhang Rong—to ask him Send the horses to the simple stables at the Sanchez branch to await transportation.
The so-called Sanchez branch, which is the base area where Lorraine is located, is connected to the small Sanchez container terminal. In the order given to Modesty, it was said that these horses were to be transported to South Africa, but as for the final Where is the destination? Even if you come to Modesto, you won’t know it deeply.
After dinner, Huang Xuan said hello to his mother and ran out of the house in a hurry. Then he sneaked back in and went from the pavilion in the backyard to the base, and then set off from here to P10.
The main reason for this is that the energy chain determines the coordinates near the northern camp of Zhao State instead of Nick's base. Because P10 has Nick's plane base, the way the energy chain is determined is consistent with the principle of the plane ruler. The same, of course, also consumes a lot of energy. Starting directly from the base can minimize unnecessary energy expenditure.
Li Mu led the army to fight abroad. Tian Dan could not be said to be conscientious, but he did lead a group of Huns soldiers to train. When Huang Xuan arrived at the northern Xinjiang camp, Zhao Xi was the only one to receive him.
It was obvious that Li Mu did not like Zhao Xi. Not taking him with him when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties could be understood as valuing his talents and acting as commander-in-chief. However, not taking him with him during such an important battle was a bit abnormal. .
However, on the other hand, Li Mu was reassured that Zhao Xi, as the person with the highest title, would command the more than 10,000 Zhao soldiers who stayed in the camp, and at the same time guard 8,000 Huns soldiers, which not only showed that he still had certain talents, but also that he had a certain talent. This kind of trust gave Huang Xuan a very strange feeling. At least he has never placed a subordinate he disliked in an extremely important and unique position.
Dian Wei is still staying in P11. Anyway, as long as Huang Xuan's coordinates as a traveler are clear, there will be no problem. Besides, Xiao Dian prefers the refreshing camp.
Huang Xuan walked for several miles. The guards in front of the gate had already been notified and ran quickly to report Zhao Xi. After a while, Dian and Wei were in the lead. General Zhao led a group of soldiers Wei followed closely and rushed over.
"Mr. Zhixian. Thank you for your hard work along the way." Zhao Xi was smiling and very attentive.
Huang Xuan was not polite. He said "Huh" and said, "Bring some people with you and come with me to pick up a group of horses."
"Horse?" Zhao Xi didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just said hello and gathered a battalion of more than 1,000 people. This is almost all the cavalry left in the camp.
The role of horses during the Warring States Period was completely different from that of later generations. First of all, King Wuling of Zhao began to experiment with cavalry in the Central Plains, and Qin was not far behind, but their use was more like fast infantry than horse cavalry. For example, the Qin Army's sniper force in the Battle of Changping consisted of 5,000 mounted infantrymen blocked in a mountain pass.
The difference is the same as the difference between a mechanized infantry division, an armored division, and a tank division.
Secondly, the most praised mounted archery by Chinese people is two different concepts from the Hufu mounted archery in the Warring States Period. People usually understand mounted archery as shooting while riding, but until the Han Dynasty, the so-called mounted archery by cavalry also meant standing on horseback and shooting arrows. It's not horse racing and archery. This limited the use of cavalry to a certain extent.
As for the various ethnic groups in the Central Plains at this moment, they are mainly dealing with mounted infantry armed with bronze and a small amount of iron. In the absence of saddles and stirrups, both riding and sprinting require excessive leg strength. On the other hand, due to the backwardness of bow and arrow technology, the penetrating power of a bow with the same opening and closing force is relatively low. Therefore, when the infantry bow has strong lethality, the prototype of the cavalry bow has just appeared. To be more precise, it is actually the It was because the battlefield defense capabilities of the grassland peoples were too low that Li Mu used a large number of archers.
In the largest annihilation battle in the data, Li Mu used as many as 100,000 archers. Many people were skeptical about this, thinking that it was too many, and accused: At that time, the entire Zhao State may only have 0 Ten thousand soldiers and 100,000 archers are seeking death - of course this is a simulation of the Warring States Period based on the world 500 years later. This is an era when there is 1 soldier for every 0 people.
However, at this time, Li Mu did not have so many troops, and his qualifications were not enough to command more troops. Although Lord Pingyuan promised to do his best to supply the needs of Northern Xinjiang, the deployment of tens of thousands of people was not that easy. The victory in the Battle of Changping will not change the poverty and lack of population that Zhao has suffered for years.
Although there are many restrictions on the application of cavalry, Huang Xuan has no interest in inventing stirrups at all - that will cause the continuous loss of the buffer zone, but even a mechanized infantry regiment is much better than a pure infantry regiment. If you want more To hunt down prisoners, a large number of horses were essential.
Huang Xuan couldn't wait for Mr. Pingyuan to deliver the goods to his door.
Riding Feidian, Dian Wei controlled the horse beside him, Huang Xuan walked along the road pointed by Nick, and asked at the same time: "I heard that General Li won a great victory. Can the prisoners be sent there?"
Zhao Xi was startled and almost pulled the reins, and then said with a sigh: "Jun Zhixian is really a god. I also received a document this morning, saying that the general swept the Xiongnu Tuoqi tribe in the Kuna area. "
Huang Xuan was not interested in the specific content of what he said and interrupted: "How long will it take to send the prisoners here?"
"Two or three days."
"That's okay." Huang Xuan said and asked: "How about Prime Minister Tian training the Huns soldiers?"
Speaking of Tian Dan, Zhao Xilai said energetically: "Your Majesty asked, Xi spoke frankly. Tian Dan does not respect the emperor's order and acts arbitrarily. It is really hateful."
"oh?"
"The army stipulates that during non-war times, three people are entitled to a dou of grain every day, and 10 prisoners are allowed to eat a dou. However, Tian Dan stipulates that all Xiongnu who participate in training are the same as our army. This..., isn't this a mess..."
Zhao Xi said angrily, and Huang Xuanze suddenly understood. Originally, the Zhao soldiers had a supply of three taels of millet a day, and the prisoners only had one tael. They were afraid that they would be deducted, but Tian Dan took the Xiongnu who participated in the training. The food changes were the same as those of Zhao Bing. As a result, General Zhao was naturally dissatisfied.
However, Tian Dan was under orders from Huang Xuan, and Zhao Xi could not rule over him, so he had to come to Huang Xuan to report. Huang Xuan was happy in his heart, and felt that Tian Dan's method was simple and effective.
The Xiongnu as a whole actually came after Maodun Chanyu. Before that, like all nomadic peoples, their concept of family, country, and even tribe were immature. Dabojin was unwilling to surrender because of other reasons. As a matter of dignity for a prairie noble, but for ordinary Huns soldiers, eating is the most important thing.
Participating in training represents a kind of surrender. As the training deepens, this kind of surrender will inevitably become a habit that becomes easier to change.
Thinking of this, Huang Xuan glanced at Zhao Xi and said, "You must fully cooperate with Xiang Tian."
This short sentence immediately stunned Zhao Xi.
Several Zhao generals followed Huang Xuan, listening to the exchanges between him and Zhao Xi, and looked at each other, seemingly dissatisfied. However, before these gentlemen could express their cry of "uneven suffering", they heard a loud shout from the spies in front. shouted, and then waved a red flag.
Everyone became nervous. Although this is south of the Great Wall, the Great Wall during the Warring States Period was far from achieving its purpose of blocking the enemy from outside the country.
Zhao Xi stretched out his left hand and shouted loudly: "Kong Zi, line up."
The captain whose name he called shouted, and more than three hundred cavalrymen drove out from the queue. Everyone had long bows astride them and ran up the hill in front of them in the blink of an eye.
This place was only a few miles away from the promise, and the generals were not afraid. They commanded the troops one after another and launched a battle formation, that is, the classic breakthrough in the middle and roundabout tactics on both sides.
These are all sergeants who have been in the war for a long time, and what Zhao Xila pulled out was the best among them, with full momentum.
Only Huang Xuan watched them jump up and down quietly. When Zhao Xi finished setting up, he blinked and said, "Relax."
Zhao Xi was shocked when he saw that Huang Xuan was already riding towards the hillside where the probing horse was. His current riding skills were considered pretty good in the first century. Zhao Xi quickly followed and waited until he reached the hillside before he understood why Huang Xuan said this.
There are many horses at the foot of the mountain.
Tan Ma didn't know the inside story, so he thought it was the Xiongnu brigade resting here, so he issued a warning. However, Huang Xuan understood that this was a group of magical horses that had traveled to many dimensions.
"How is it? Can it be used?" Huang Xuan raised his head like a drunk Castro.
"If General Li knows about it, he will be really happy... I'm afraid he will get drunk in the tent." Zhao Xi murmured and looked at the horses grazing below. Huang Xuan brought more than 6,000 horses. It is a good horse that is fat and strong. Compared with the horses currently used by Zhao Jun, it is not a bit better. (To be continued)
