"When I was on the castle tower before, I saw that your archery skills were extraordinary, and I would like to ask you to choose some archery skills from the more than 2,000 Yellow Turban Army, or people who can be familiar with horsemanship, to serve as a cavalry we are about to form."

After Liu Zheng saw the strength of the cavalry under Cao Cao, he understood that in this troubled world, ordinary infantry had no ability to fight back against the cavalry, so in order to struggle in this troubled world, it was necessary to build a strong army.

In the past, he had no ability, so he could only play the role of a miscellaneous soldier under Yang Feng, and it was difficult to protect himself, so how could he think about the dream of forming an army and dominating the world.

But now it's different, after Yang Feng disappeared, the Yellow Turban soldiers here seem to be headed by him, and he can manage these Yellow Turban Army to form his own forces, and it becomes necessary to train a strong enough army.

At the beginning, Liu Zheng didn't expect Xu Huang to say that they now had more than a hundred war horses, but he just wanted to ask Xu Huang to find some people who could shoot arrows to form a team of archers, so that the cavalry could be suppressed to a great extent.

But now after hearing Xu Huang say that he has a group of war horses. Liu Zheng's ambition became even greater, and he also wanted to form cavalry, even if it was only the worst cavalry, it was much more powerful than infantry.

"Forming cavalry?"

Xu Huang heard Liu Zheng's words, and his expression was very confident just now, and he immediately showed a little surprise at this time.

"Brother Liu Zheng, forming a cavalry is not just a matter of having a few war horses to form a cavalry, if ordinary people don't know how to ride a horse, it is difficult to successfully ride on a war horse, even if they can ride reluctantly, they may not be able to fight on a horse. It would take at least three months to train a cavalry. ”

Xu Huang's words Liu Zheng understood, but this issue was not something he could consider now.

"It's okay, Brother Xu Huang, we don't need this cavalry to fight, you first select a group of people, preferably people who can ride horses and know archery, if it really can't work, then focus on riding horses, first select a hundred people, form a small group of cavalry, teach them to ride horses first, as for the matter of fighting immediately, then think of a way."

"Well, since you said so, I'll do what you say."

How Liu Zheng's idea will be implemented, Liu Zheng himself is not clear at present, but he has already handed it over to Xu Huang to do, and it will be clear what it can be done in the future.

However, in the past few days, Liu Zheng has no time to take care of other things, he needs to recuperate from his injuries, and at the same time, he wants to train the more than 2,000 Yellow Turban miscellaneous soldiers under his command here.

Liu Zheng lay in bed for two days, and after his injuries improved, he was unwilling to continue to lie in bed, and also joined Xu Huang's recruitment of soldiers and horses.

Xu Huang is still a good hand in selecting soldiers, and now these Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City. In fact, they are all selected after repeated battles.

Who can escape from Cao Jun's command to Quyang City is old, weak, sick and disabled. The Yellow Turban soldiers who can come here can be regarded as the elite of the Yellow Turban soldiers, and they are the elites of the Yellow Turban Army that gather Yang Feng and Guo Tai.

In addition, most of these Yellow Turban soldiers are farmers or hunters, some are from poor families, many are strong, and many of them can also use archery, as for horseback riding, few people can do it, but Xu Huang still selected dozens of people from these people who can simply ride horses and shoot arrows to form the first wave of cavalry that Liu Zheng wants to establish.

Back then, Cao Cao was able to select a group of people from the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Soldiers to form a powerful Qingzhou Army, and Liu Zheng could also use the current more than 2,000 Yellow Turban Army to select and gather 100 people to form his cavalry squad.

Although the first wave of selection failed to gather a hundred people. But with Xu Huang's existence, he himself is good at riding horses, and it is not difficult to teach these Yellow Turban soldiers to ride horses in just a few days.

So Xu Huang selected some young adults and joined Fengyun's cavalry team, and in the next few days, Xu Huang was busy all day how to teach these people how to ride horses.

And Liu Zheng himself was not idle, he first followed Xu Huang here to practice horseback riding for a few days. After almost learning it, I wanted to find a few blacksmiths in this Quyang City.

After Liu Zheng inspected these cavalry in the past few days, he found that although these cavalry could be formed in a short time, they did not have enough armor and weapons, and they did not have much effect on the battlefield.

So he wanted to find some blacksmiths to make a batch of weapons, but to his disappointment, there was no decent blacksmith in this Quyang City.

This can't be blamed on Liu Zheng's incompetence, but the blacksmith profession itself was less in the Three Kingdoms period, and at the same time, Quyang City has experienced the baptism of war repeatedly, if there is a blacksmith, it has already been captured by the forces that ransacked Quyang City before, so where will Liu Zheng wait?

didn't find a blacksmith, Liu Zheng didn't give up, and found some wooden sticks to sharpen them into wooden spears, which can still be used as weapons.

Because of the limited conditions, Liu Zheng could not think of many weapons.

He ordered people to find trees two fingers thick near Quyang City, about one meter and a half long, with one sharpened end, and use these trees to make javelins.

After experiencing a battle on the upper floor of Quyang City, Liu Zheng has realized the power of the javelin, when everyone can't use arrows, this kind of javelin is not particularly long, and it is not iron, and the weight is not particularly heavy, and the distance is not short if it is thrown.

If you have more strength, you can also project more than ten or twenty meters. Although it is not as long as the distance of an arrow, it is more lethal than an arrow.

The cavalry formed by Liu Zheng really didn't expect them to be able to practice cavalry and archery on the battlefield. So carrying a few javelins with you for long-distance projection may be able to play some unexpected roles.

It took Xu Huang several days to teach the cavalrymen how to practice horsemanship, while Liu Zheng taught them how to use these javelins and how to use them to throw Zheng. After a few days, the cavalry has also practiced well, and can barely pull it out and make an appearance.

At the same time, news finally came from the long society.

Sure enough, as Liu Zheng expected, the Changshe War was fought against the Bocai Army, and was attacked by the Huangfu Song Zhonglang General with fire tactics.

The 200,000 Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses, not only was Changshe City breached, but Daqu Shuai Bocai also fled in disarray, fleeing to the direction of Runan with the only remaining men and horses.

When the news reached Quyang City, it was already a few days later. Xu Huang hurriedly came to Liu Zheng's room from the school field and found Liu Zheng.

"Brother Liu Zheng, something is wrong, there is news from the Changshe side, Bocai Daqu Shuai, who returned from a big defeat in the Changshe and suffered heavy losses."
