Chapter 349: Preparing the Lancers
"I'm just as Motoko thinks." Zhu Linmiao smiled and said, "Even if Sha Dingzhou is cautious, it is nothing to send troops to rescue Wang Langshan." As long as he does not return to Kunming, it will be convenient for our strategy. ”
He then looked at the map, "The key to the major affairs in Yunnan is that our army must act in secrecy. ”
……
The arrangement of the Long Weijun to repair in Sanzhou for two days was temporarily cancelled. Before dawn, thousands of soldiers had begun to pack up their weapons and baggage, ready to be drawn at any time.
However, this kind of high-intensity continuous combat is nothing to them, and when they are training in Longnan, they often have to last for more than ten days in a real combat exercise, and the physical exertion is much higher than at this time.
Jiao Lian took a few entourages and walked towards the Yamen of the Inspection Division with a slightly nervous expression, and there was also a person in civilian attire beside him, who was Ma Wenhu, the general of the Righteous Army.
Outside the door of the inspection department, Jiao Lian asked someone to pass it on. After being summoned by His Royal Highness the Auxiliary Prince, he ordered the guards to wait in place, and only brought Ma Wenhu inside.
Zhu Linmiao had just practiced a set of small frames according to the boxing skills taught by Wang Laixian, and when she saw the two of them entering the hospital, she hurriedly smiled and said, "General Jiao, Ma Yishi, please get up." Why did you two come early in the morning? ”
Jiao Lian became even more nervous, and immediately remembered Zhai Shiyun's words of encouragement last night, and finally took a breath and knelt down, and said loudly: "The last general, His Royal Highness, is mighty, although it is quite immeasurable, but please go to Yunnan with His Highness to do his best." ”
Jiao Lian wants to join the Dragon Guard? This is a fierce general. Zhu Linmiao was very happy in her heart, but considering Zhai Shiyun's side, she still said cautiously: "Jiao Jianjun got up first to speak.
"I have ordered Lord Zhai to take charge of the soldiers and horses in northern Guizhou to prepare for the aid of Sichuan and Huguang. The general is under the command of Lord Zhai, if he follows me to conquer the sand thieves, I wonder if it will affect Lord Zhai's use of troops? ”
"The last general was approved by Zhai Dutang last night." Jiao Lian hurriedly said. In fact, he is not considered to be Zhai Shiyun's department, but he has been fighting with Zhai Shiyun for a long time, and the two are skillful in cooperating.
"And the last general only brought more than 100 generals, and did not divide the strength of the governor's hall. I hope that His Highness will not give up. ”
Zhu Linmiao nodded slightly, thinking about how to arrange this No. 1 general in Guangxi, Jiao Lian saw him silent for a moment, and thought that he was surrounded in the battle against Tang Guest, which made His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King doubt his strength.
He looked at Shi Lin and the others who were preparing horses on the side, so he hugged his fists at Zhu Linmiao and said, "Your Highness, can you borrow a war horse?" ”
Zhu Linmiao was quite curious, and motioned to Shi Lin: "Lead the horse to General Jiao." ”
"Yes!"
Jiao Lian looked around again, but he didn't see a gun, so he easily dismantled the flag of the Inspection Division, held the flagpole in his hand, and then clamped the horse's belly hard, and shouted, "Drive!" ”
In an instant, the horse swept by like the wind. Jiao Lian is in this small courtyard at hand, dancing a "big gun" to hunt and hunt, pointing east and west, galloping south and north, like a tiger out of the mountain and like a dragon soaring into the sea, a member of the end of the fierce general!
Zhu Linmiao saw that his marksmanship was like a god, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "There is something that General Jiao needs to contribute." ”
Hearing this, Jiao Lian hurriedly grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, "But according to His Highness's orders." ”
Zhu Linmiao nodded and said, "Actually, I've always wanted to add a lancer battalion to the Dragon Guard. It's just that it is difficult to practice riding a gun, and there is no one in the army who is good at guns, so it dragged down. ”
The Lancers had a great advantage in battles with other cavalry, especially the Saber Cavalry. The length of the cavalry spear, the attack method, and the armor-piercing ability are all better than the sabre, but it is not very convenient when chasing the foot soldiers.
The 200 lancers of Tie Dake were remarkable in the battle with the captive cavalry, and they were not far behind the much more trained dragon guard hussars. With the same level of training, the Lancers will be more powerful against enemy cavalry.
The main armament of the cavalry was sabers and bows and arrows. If the Dragonguards had a strong team of lancers, it was conceivable that they would be able to make the captives suffer greatly in the future battles.
Jiao Lian immediately said: "The last general's family marksmanship is barely on the table, and his generals are also guns, so they have some experience in this way." ”
"Okay." Zhu Linmiao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "In this way, General Jiao doesn't have to go to Yunnan with me."
"You immediately rush to the Longnan New Army Academy, and then based on your men, you will form three battalions, oh, that is, about 1,500 lancers.
"Oh, by the way, you yourself have to study at the Royal Officers' Academy at the same time, and you can't neglect both.
"In addition, as for the training method of the lancers, you should compile it into a book, which will serve as the training standard for this class in the future. You can discuss the details with the instructors of the Military Academy.
"This lancer is an important part of the Northern Expedition in the future, and we must do our best."
When Jiao Lian heard that he would be able to accompany His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King on a northern expedition in the future, he immediately said excitedly: "The last general...... The subordinates will live up to His Highness's high expectations! ”
He turned his head to look at Ma Wenhu again, and said thoughtfully: "Your Highness, your subordinates still have a reluctant request." ”
"You say."
"This subordinate brother ......"
"Brother-in-law?"
"Oh, in a fight with the soup thief, the two of us saved each other's lives. When the enemy retreated, we became brothers with different surnames. Jiao Lian said, "This subordinate brother is skilled in marksmanship, although his command is a righteous army, he has practiced the law, and he can make bows and guns."
"My subordinates want to take my righteous brother as my general, but I don't know ......"
The lancers are not easy to train, and there are hundreds of rebels as the foundation, so why not do it. And this Ma Wenhu's marksmanship can enter Jiao Lian's eyes, and it will definitely not be bad. Zhu Linmiao immediately agreed, "Ma Yishi will go to Longnan with you and enter the officer academy together." ”
Jiao Lian and Ma Wenhu were overjoyed when they heard this, and they knelt down again, "Thank you, Your Highness, for cultivating!" ”
Zhu Linmiao said again: "But I have to say it first." The requirements of the Dragon Guard Army are strict, and the people under your command who want to join the Dragon Guard Army must first pass the review, and those who are treacherous, lazy, slippery, and cowardly will never be allowed to enter the New Army Academy. ”
"Please rest assured, Your Highness, the grass people are all well-known men." Ma Wenhu patted his chest and said, but he forgot that he was promoted to an officer for a while.
After the Long Wei army had breakfast, the whole army left Sanzhou and headed for the guests in the south.
In order to avoid startling the snakes, the march route agreed upon by Zhu Linmiao and the generals yesterday did not go straight to the west, but detoured from southern Guizhou to the vicinity of Tianzhou, and then suddenly turned north to Guizhou, and entered Yunnan from Xingyi.
It's just that Zhu Linmiao wanted to march secretly, but he couldn't stand the well-informed officials from all over Guangxi, and there were constantly people forming teams to greet and send them off along the way, and he even donated a lot of money and food, which made Zhu Linmiao cry and laugh.
In the end, he had to order officials at all levels to send all the food and salaries to Sichuan, and let all the Long Weijun change their military uniforms into civilian clothes, and raise the "Su" character banner all the way, so as not to enter the city, which saved a lot of trouble.
More than ten days later, the army has passed Tianyang, the terrain continues to rise, all the way is a big uphill, and the march is becoming more and more difficult. Zhu Linmiao knew that this was because the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was in front of him, and it was getting closer and closer to Guizhou.
