Chapter 1068 Zhu Rong's Javelin Cavalry


After listening to the words of the cave master and Zhu Na, Zhao Yu couldn't help but smile back, and then looked at Guo Jia on the side.Guo Jia immediately understood what Zhao Yu meant, and immediately stepped forward and bowed his head slightly at the two of them: "Although the Nanban and our army surrendered to Cheng before, our Majesty's view of the Nanban soldiers and horses is quite distinctive, so we want to create a strengthened army based on the Nanban, presumably this matter has been heard of in the palace before." ”After Guo Jia finished speaking, he looked at the cave master and Zhu Na nodded slightly, and then continued: "Although our majesty has already mentioned this matter in the imperial court, for the sake of safety, I still want to discuss it with the two of you in advance.Our Majesty wants to select a certain number of sergeants from some special soldiers and horses in the Nanban, and then form three different Nanban special forces. ”"Three different Southern Barbarian Special Forces" When King Duosi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked Guo Jia and said: "I don't know which three Southern Barbarian armies Lord Guo Sima said" Guo Jia continued: "The three Southern Barbarian armies that Your Majesty wants to build, one is the vine armor army under the command of the vulture bones, and Your Majesty wants to use these vine armor soldiers to form an assault army that can be attacked and defended.The second was the cavalry of the elephants and beasts of the Southern Barbarians, whom His Majesty decided to use to build a mobile land fortress that had always been impregnable.And the third is the Wudang Flying Army, which gathers the elite soldiers and horses of various departments of the Southern Barbarians as a whole. ”After the two of them listened, King Duosi immediately responded: "The three soldiers and horses that His Majesty thinks of the Vine Armor Army, the Beast Cavalry, and the Wudang Flying Army really have their own characteristics, but these are not a matter of Your Majesty's words, and you still need Your Majesty to discuss with the two of us, as long as Your Majesty talks to them, who else is unwilling, they will definitely actively promote the soldiers under their command to form a strong army and horses for Your Majesty." ”I saw Zhao Yu say without hesitation: "This is different, if I directly mention to them that I want to draw out troops and horses and want to form a new army, I am afraid that these people will definitely be dissatisfied in their hearts."

After all, you are my wife's immediate family, and you are the child's uncle and aunt, so I want to discuss this matter with you, hoping to slowly get this matter done through you. ”King Duosi immediately clasped his fists at Zhao Yu and said, "Okay, if Your Majesty can have such a heart, the two of us will definitely fully support Your Majesty." ”When King Duosi finished speaking, Zhu Na, who was only listening to the side, also followed closely and said: "If Your Majesty does not dislike it, Zhu Na is willing to provide a brave general of the Zhurong tribe to form a new army for Your Majesty, and all the people and horses of the Zhurong Clan will be personally selected by Your Majesty." ”As soon as Zhu Na's voice fell, Zhao Yu was immediately overjoyed, not to mention anything else, just from Zhu Na's cheerfulness and trust, he made a big step forward in his plan.After all, Zhu Na is the sister of his wife Zhu Rong, and after Zhu Rong left Nanban, he elected Zhu Na as the new patriarch of Zhu Rong's clan.This time, Nanban surrendered to Zhao State, and Zhu Na was also fortunate to follow Nanban from the land of Nanban to the territory of the Han people.Even Zhao Yu said that if he had time, he would let Zhu Rong and his sister meet together and have a good chat.Thinking of her sister, who is so happy now, Zhu Na is very happy, knowing that all this is because of the man in front of her.When he is the most powerful man today, no matter what, as a younger sister, Zhu Na is very grateful to each other in her heart.So this time, he proposed it independently, and was the first to nominate the warriors of the Zhu Rong clan to form new soldiers for Zhao Yu, and Zhu Na immediately spoke: "According to the current soldiers and horses of the Zhu Rong clan, the number of soldiers and horses that can be provided for Your Majesty is only five thousand.And these 5,000 men, all of whom were personally taught by my sister and me, and were good at horsemanship, javelin, and throwing knives, I wonder if these soldiers are of any use to Your Majesty in forming a new army. ”Immediately, Zhao Yu snickered and said: "Good guy, Zhu Na, you dare to directly take out five thousand people, if these people are all deeply taught by you and Zhu Rong, and the equestrian, javelin, and throwing knives that you two sisters have learned, then the combat effectiveness of these people must not be weak, and they will definitely help my new army." ”If you can have a cavalry that can be good at horsemanship and javelin, then you can form a special cavalry according to the tactics of Roman cavalry.The role of this cavalry is different from the green dragon cavalry that Ma Chao currently masters, although the original Xiliang Iron Cavalry was also good at throwing spears, but the people of the Zhurong tribe were good at javelins, which were completely different from the spears of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.The throwing spear of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a medium and long-range attack, and the target is large.Zhu Rong's javelin, on the other hand, is a medium-range and short-range strike, and its action is more flexible, so it can be said that one is more heavy than heavy cavalry, and the other is more heavy than light cavalry.Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel excited, and immediately said to Zhu Na again: "If once this army is formed, I will personally name this army and award the flag, and then I will definitely list this army formed by the Zhu Rong clan as one of the strong troops of our Zhao State, so that those enemy troops will be terrified when they hear it." ”When Zhu Na heard this, she couldn't help but rejoice: "Zhu Na thank Your Majesty, this is my honor for Zhu Rong's family." ”Among the Nanban people, because of Zhu Na's initiative, Zhao Yu was able to further implement the plan of strengthening the troops in Nanban.As for Meng Huo, Vulture Bone, Mulu King, Yang Feng and others, after knowing that Zhu Na was the first to provide Zhao Yu with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, they did not take the initiative, but sat back and watched the excitement, waiting for the results of the five thousand soldiers and horses provided by Zhu Na for Zhao Yu.It can be said that Meng Huo, Wutu Bone, Mulu King, Yang Feng and others are waiting with a wait-and-see mentality, if Zhao Yu uses Zhu Rong's javelin army to successfully build a strong army this time, then everyone will not hesitate to recommend their own soldiers and horses.If Zhao Yu really forced a few people to provide soldiers and horses, then no one would dare to refuse, but being forced to provide soldiers and horses and taking the initiative to provide soldiers and horses were completely different meanings.Zhao Yu is also because of this, so he has reservations, and his heart still wants to convince people with his ability, after all, although these Nanban are sincere to themselves, they are also new to Zhao State, and some things cannot be rushed.And Zhao Yu himself did not dare to guarantee that these Nanban would be able to compare their hearts with themselves.For the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Zhu Rong clan, Zhao Yu personally came to supervise the rectification, and the original combat method of this army was to have a javelin in each person.For a charge, throw a javelin to kill the enemy in the front row, and then wield their weapons to kill the enemy.After Zhao Yu learned about it, he asked five thousand Zhurong soldiers and horses to simulate the charging formation on the training ground, and after reading it.Zhao Yu did not hesitate to order the five thousand men and horses in front of him to start reorganizing their equipment.From one javelin per person, it was increased to two javelins, and two javelins were placed on the side of the horse's belly.When attacking, you can take it out casually and load it in the cloth bag that the war horse consigns.Judging from the Zhurong cavalry, they preferred light cavalry, but they either used bows and arrows, except for javelins, or throwing knives.You must know that the throwing distance of the flying knife is definitely far inferior to the bow and arrow, but the accuracy of the flying knife is much more accurate than the bow and arrow.And it is extremely convenient to shoot, but the lethality is lacking, so these people are equipped with javelin throwing.When attacking, first shoot the enemy with javelins, high defense or strong combat effectiveness.Then, as it approached, he shot other sergeants with throwing knives, and finally killed the enemy with spearmen, but when Zhao Yu took over the five thousand soldiers and horses, he immediately changed his previous training methods.First of all, the horses were trained in the mountains in groups every day, and they were run from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.Running at least 100 miles a day not only exercises the horse's foot strength and the horse's ability to run on rugged mountain roads, but also tests the cavalry soldiers themselves.In addition to the training of horsemen and war horses, Zhao Yu also ordered these people to start to intensify their training in javelin throwing, of course, the accuracy of these people's javelin throwing is not bad.But the strength and damage are very weak, Zhao Yu can be said to have a hard time competing for this, and finally thought of a way.That is to let these soldiers start to use javelin to project tree trunks, each person chooses a small waist trunk for practice, if anyone can take the lead in driving a distance of tens of meters, using javelin projection through the tree trunk, then who has a chance to be promoted.At first, everyone was puzzled, and even thought that on the battlefield, javelin projection, just by stabbing the target, it could bring very considerable damage.Why does Your Majesty have to practice super lethality, instead of practicing this, it is better to practice the head.However, due to Zhao Yu's identity as the son of heaven, no one dared to raise questions, so he had to train honestly.After a period of training, of the five thousand javelinees, there were already more than one percent.That is, more than 50 people were able to shoot through the tree trunk with full force within an effective distance.At this time, Zhao Yu gathered together the five thousand disgruntled Zhurong soldiers, and said earnestly: "When the two armies are fighting, the attacking side is naturally a cavalry charge, and the defending side is naturally a shield soldier in front.Your javelins, the distance is not as good as the crossbowmen, according to your previous lethality, it is just a fight with the archers, hitting a target, shooting a target, how can you show the advantage of your Zhurong clan's javelins" "So, if you Zhurong clan, you want to get out of the entire Southern Barbarian army.It is necessary to strengthen your characteristics and use your potential, and only then can your javelins be more lethal.And for this, I use a popular phrase, that is, penetration, or piercing, even if it can't achieve these two effects, it can also achieve the effect of heavy blows. ”:
