Chapter 497: Grinding the Spear in Battle
The sky is bright.
The wind has stopped, and the rain has stopped.
A touch of morning light hangs in the sky.
In the forest, the sound of war horses snorting one after another, the strange snoring of soldiers, the high-spirited training of cavalry battalions, the occasional chirping of insects in the morning, the sound of grass uprooting, the breathing of branches, and the joyful chirping of birds......
All this constitutes a wonderful picture.
makes the battlefield full of gunsmoke a rare bit of harmony and serenity.
If it weren't for the cavalry battalion training, the slight low cheers from time to time with a bit of slaughter, who would have thought that behind such a peaceful picture, there was a bloody wind hidden?
In the future, this kind of life will become the norm for Hua Feng and others.
......
For the use of two thousand war horses, Hua Feng had already considered it.
In addition to satisfying the cavalry battalion of 1,200 and three horses first, Hua Feng, Meng Qi, Xiao Yun, Duan Jinchao, Fengfeng Liu, Lei family brothers, and Liao family brothers each occupied one horse.
In addition, the left, right, and center armies each kept 12 horses, and the cavalry battalion kept 6 horses for carrying supplies and communications.
In this way, Hua Feng's first section has occupied 1,284 horses, and there are still 716 horses.
For the remaining 716 war horses, Hua Feng planned to hand them over to Huang Daozhou, and he, the supreme commander of the whole army, would distribute them.
......
Although Luo Zhanjun had already said before: "All the war horses captured on the battlefield belong to you, and you don't need to hand them over, and others are not allowed to snatch them." ”
But after all, the number of war horses harvested this time is not small.
If Hua Feng takes it all for himself, it will inevitably cause public anger. Although others have nothing to say, they must be extremely unhappy in their hearts!
How could Hua Feng do such a thing of "seeing small profits and forgetting big righteousness"?
Moreover, one of his departments should be equipped with war horses, which has been fully considered. With the current weak strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army, it is impossible for the battle line to be too long, so there should not be too many cavalry.
Otherwise, it will feel top-heavy.
Therefore, the remaining horses were of little use in his hands.
......
To those infantry?
Absolutely undesirable! There are two reasons for this.
First, there are more monks and less porridge, and once the distribution is unreasonable, I am afraid that there will be complications.
In this way, wouldn't it be too much to add to the snake?
Rather than spending manpower to take care of these more than 700 war horses, it is better to give them to the Zodiac Zhou, who is desperately needed.
In this way, you can also leave a credit and get a favor.
Second, infantry is infantry, and cavalry is cavalry.
The two should not be mixed, so that the responsibilities are unclear and the division of labor is unclear.
Although the cavalry is strong, it comes and goes like the wind. But there are some battles that can only be done by infantry.
For example, ambushes, sieges, etc., cavalry cannot be completed.
......
As far as an ambush is concerned, what if the enemy has not yet entered the ambush circle, but is alarmed by the sudden strange noise of the war horse?
Such an ambush is bound to fail.
In the end, they either fought head-on head-on, or they were forced to leave and give up in desperation.
A war is lost because of a war horse, a war is reversed, and a dynasty is overthrown because of a war reversal.
Although there are not many such cases, they are not uncommon, and they must be taken as a warning.
After all, there are many factors influencing war, and consideration should be meticulous, and we must not be self-righteous and "strong and ignorant." Still less can we be careless, careless, and do whatever we want.
......
Hua Feng thought about it for a long time, and the sky was already bright.
After the rain, the air is exceptionally fresh, with a hint of refreshing fragrance.
Except for the cavalry battalion, which had only rested for half an hour, the rest of the soldiers had rested for at least two hours.
It's time for Ready Combat Training!
"Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light. ”
Even veterans who have been in the army for many years will follow this principle, let alone recruits who have never been on the battlefield?
Therefore, under the assignment of Hua Feng, Meng Qi and Duan Jinchao led Lei Chongtian, Lei Chongxiao, Liao Degao, and Liao Deyuan to organize combat training.
As for the vigilance task, Hua Feng is personally responsible.
It can be said that Hua Feng's eyes and ears alone are better than thousands of troops.
With his vigilance, nothing goes wrong.
......
Combat training is mainly based on the situation, and the four contents of the training are explained and taught: the essentials of ambush, the timing of impact, the fight against the enemy, and the cleaning of the battlefield.
As for other contents, due to time constraints, they have not been arranged for the time being.
After all, recruits are already nervous when they first enter the battlefield, and it is not beautiful to learn too much.
They have practiced these things before, but they have not been the focus.
And there was not much urgency at the time.
After all, when the recruits were being trained, war seemed far away to them who were still in the gates.
Therefore, there is no tension in which a major war is imminent.
......
However, this time and that time.
Now they are about to engage the enemy in close combat, and they have even fought a battle last night.
In this atmosphere, there was no need for Meng Qi and others to mobilize too much, and the training enthusiasm of the soldiers was unprecedentedly high.
Because, "sweat more in peacetime and shed less blood in wartime", "learn more skills, and have more chances to save your life", who would not know these truths?
Between "sweating more" and "bleeding less", there is no doubt that they all chose "sweating more".
No one will think that they will live too long!
......
Hua Feng, who was idle, was like a lightning flash, and gave the two thousand captives, all of whom focused on the acupoints again. Keep them immobile for at least twelve hours.
Except for the breath remaining, the others resembled a dead corpse.
Shouting? impossible to drop!
Eating? There are no drops!
Huafeng has not much food, so of course he will not be a thankless person.
It is their "luck" to be able to carry it until most of the Zodiac Zhou arrives.
can't bear it, it's their "misfortune".
Objectively speaking, "fortunate and unfortunate" may not make much difference to them, but they are just a lingering breath.
Because in Hua Feng's mind, even if he can survive to come to the Zodiac Week, these people are probably a dead end.
......
Hua Feng's treatment of these prisoners of war in this way is really the best choice.
Collected as used?
No way!
After all, race aside, the two sides are national enemies, and they are incompatible. Even if the enemy is willing to surrender, how can Huang Daozhou dare to believe it? How dare he use it?
Is it possible to defect on the verge of defeat.
A stab in the back?
Who dares to guarantee that this will not be the case?
Instead of worrying and exerting all day long, it is better to kill them all.
This is not only worry-free, but also reassuring and labor-saving.
As far as the enemy of life and death is concerned, only the dead are the most credible, so that you do not need to be wary.
......
Escort to the rear?
It's even more delusional!
The distance is not far, and the escort force is enough.
If you really want to escort, it's not that you can't complete it.
But the question is, after the escort mission is completed, how should Emperor Longwu deal with these two thousand people? I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Chivalry and Invincible", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
