After seeing off the main force of the Tang Army, things inside and outside Suiye City finally became quiet.
However, Zhao Ziliang also knew that this was the most dangerous time for Suiye City.
Previously, the main force of the Tang Army was here, and the surrounding Tuqishi and other tribes did not dare to act rashly. , but at this time the main force of the Tang Army had all withdrawn, leaving only a thousand main battle cavalry and two thousand newly recruited soldiers in Suiye City, and these recruits had not yet been trained.
But as long as he survives the most dangerous three months and waits for the recruits to complete their training, Zhao Ziliang has nothing to fear.
Including the two thousand new recruits, Zhao Ziliang had a total of five thousand cavalry, of which one thousand main battle cavalry were transferred from Qiuci Town, and the other two thousand cavalry were Gai Jiayun, Fumeng Lingcha and Zhao Ziliang's own retinues. , the soldiers and horses scattered in Xincheng, General Pei City and the towns to the east are veterans with rich combat experience.
Led by captains of ten and centurions who were experienced in combat, Zhao Ziliang was not worried about the safety of these cities at all.
He had already given orders long ago.
If an enemy army really came to attack, after comparing the strength of the enemy and ours, he believed that they would not be able to defeat them.
You can abandon the town and then lead the army back to Broken Leaf City to concentrate your forces to fight the enemy together.
In Zhao Ziliang's dictionary, from now on, there is no concept of all-out defense.
The tactics of only defending without attacking are extremely passive.
They must either defend and counterattack, or attack while ensuring their own safety, or do not take any precautions.
When attacking with all your strength and fighting nomads, you must give up the concept of defense, because as soon as you defend, the enemy can take advantage of the high-speed maneuvers of the cavalry to hit and run.
By the time you want to counterattack, the enemy has already run far away, and you You can't catch up even if you chase, you can only be beaten passively.
To deal with the nomadic cavalry, Zhao Ziliang himself summarized a set of tactical points: First, one's own mobility must not be lower than the enemy's, that is to say, the entire army must be equipped with horses.
Second, to deal with the enemy's cavalry, whether it is heavy cavalry or light cavalry, we cannot fight the enemy with a single arm.
It is best to combine infantry, cavalry, and bows to maximize the power of each arm in coordinated combat.
Of course, cavalry is a good method, but it is not the best method.
If the arms fight without restraint, they will definitely kill one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.
This kind of deal is not very cost-effective for Zhao Ziliang.
Third, if we want to maintain our own high mobility, infantry and crossbowmen must also be equipped with horses.
They ride horses when marching and dismount when fighting.
Cavalry must be equipped with two or three horses to ensure high-speed mobility.
Fourth, the nomadic armies are generally loose in military discipline, so their tactical execution is poorer.
In terms of combat formations, the nomads are also obviously inferior to the Tang army.
This is the advantage of the Tang army, which must be maintained.
If the Tang army loses this advantages, then when facing the nomadic army, except for equipment, the Tang army can be said to have no advantages at all.
Fifth, on the battlefield in the Western Region, all hostile forces basically adopted the tactical thinking of long-distance attacks and divided attacks.
If you want to defeat the enemy, you must conduct deeper research on long-distance attacks and separate attacks, and use this tactical idea to its extreme to achieve the effect of taking it by surprise and attacking it unprepared.
If you wait for the enemy to get the news, you can then implement this tactic.
It's difficult.
This is mainly because the Western Region is vast and sparsely populated, and few of the forces in the Western Region stick to the city.
If the incoming enemy is too powerful, the target of the attack will have run away long ago and can hide in any corner of the prairie.
It is difficult, so concealment work must be done well.
Only long-distance raids can achieve the unexpected effect and prevent the target from running away.
The function of separate attacks and combined attacks is to shorten the march time and achieve concealment effects.
As we all know, the larger the team, the slower the marching speed, and the easier it is to be discovered by the enemy.
However, separate attacks and combined attacks can solve these two problems very well.
However, these are just tactical ideas.
If there is no battle for the time being, this kind of tactical ideas will have no effect.
The key now is to train soldiers and horses, especially to train two thousand recruits into superb combat literacy, tactical movements and skills in the shortest possible time.
Cooperate with skilled elites.
As the governor of Suiye Governor's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang had to take care of not only the military but also political affairs.
He was very busy.
The training of new recruits could only be left to Li Siye, Wei Meng, Wang Can, Huo Kan, Lei Wu and Liang Qi.

Responsible, he went to check on the training progress during his free time while dealing with political affairs.
In order to frighten the surrounding Tuqishi tribes, Zhao Ziliang often led a thousand elite cavalry to conduct combat drills in the wild.
When he ran the farthest, he even reached the middle reaches of the Ili River and approached Yuegong City.
This frightened Mohe Dagan.
No, he thought the Tang army was going to attack him.
Zhao Ziliang knew very well that the army could not be idle, and the soldiers must not be allowed time to think.
This would easily lead to problems.
It would not allow them time to think about other things, and would only give the army full arrangements for things to be done, even for that day.
Since the Qianye War Army was transferred here, Zhao Ziliang has never left them idle.
He has given them a full schedule of things to do every day.
They are either training or patrolling.
They also have to learn to read and sing military songs at night.
Sometimes Zhao Ziliang also arranges After the training, they have During the competition, they were all arranged to go fishing and swimming in the Suiye River several times.
They used various methods to relieve their irritability, depression and tense nerves under high-intensity training.
At the same time, they could also use these interesting games, competitions and labor to To break into the tacit understanding between them and deepen their feelings, this is of great benefit to the improvement of combat effectiveness.
Apart from anything else, at least in terms of tactical coordination and cooperation, after several such activities, the soldiers' The tactical execution ability has improved a lot.
In the morning of this day, Zhao Ziliang came to the recruit training camp outside the city to check the training progress.
The recruits were trained in military posture and formation on the training ground in groups.
Needless to say, the role of military posture and formation training.
Li Siye, Wei Meng, etc.
People know this very well, so the requirements are very strict when conducting queue training for new recruits.
Although it has already entered September, the temperature is still very high.
Every recruit is sweating from the heat, and the team leaders in charge of the training are also sweating from the heat.
However, no one dares to complain.
Zhao Ziliang's requirements for military discipline, It was very clear to all who followed him.
Zhao Ziliang watched for a while, then called Li Siye, Wei Meng and others over and said, "I just took a look and found that the training progress of military postures and formations is a bit slower, and the results are not as good as expected.
I think it's better to do it this way.
We'll do it after dinner."
An extra hour will be added for the training of military posture and formation, and the infantry combat, cavalry combat and riding skills training in the afternoon will remain as usual.
Only by completing the training of military posture and formation as soon as possible can we wholeheartedly carry out training in individual combat effectiveness, tactical formation and tactical coordination. " Li Siye, Wei Meng and others raised their hands and said, "General, I understand."
"Do you still have any difficulties?
Tell me.
If I can solve it for you, I will solve it immediately.
If I can't solve it now, I will find a way to help you solve it as soon as possible."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and asked.
Li Siye thought for a while and said: "General, at present, the main reason is that there is a shortage of troops.
The two thousand recruits were basically civilians before, most of them were herdsmen.
They are very skilled in bow and horse, but they have no experience in joining the army or leading troops.
Therefore, my subordinates are wondering if some commanders, group leaders, and team leaders from other armies can be recruited to serve as lower-level soldiers.
In this way, the pressure on us generals will be less, and it will be much easier to lead the army. ".
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is a problem.
Let's do this.
After I go back, I will ask Lai Yi, who joins the army, to transfer 200 soldiers from the 600 people we brought.
As for the vacancies due to the transfer, The positions that come down will be promoted and replaced by those who have performed well among the veterans."
Huo Kan then said: "General, the weapons, armor, clothes, shoes and socks of these two thousand of us have not been found yet.

You see, these people are all dressed in various colors.
It is really ugly."
"This is very important.
You all know that the Governor's Mansion has just put up a structure.
Many things are in a mess and there is no clue.
But it will be on the right track soon.
I will talk to Zheng San about this matter in the next two days. , ask him to solve the problems of weapons, armor, clothes, shoes and socks for you as soon as possible."
Zhao Ziliang said this and asked: "Is there anything else?"
After thinking for a while, everyone shook their heads.
Seeing this, Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, since you are all right, let me say one more thing, which can be said to be a special emphasis.
No matter what the circumstances, the army cannot be in chaos.
You must To be able to control the army well, you must ensure that everyone in the army can obey orders and obey orders.
If you cannot do this, it means that your training is unqualified.
Any order issued by this general must be obeyed unconditionally, even if anyone is asked to do so.
Go jump into the river, This person must execute it without thinking.
This is truly qualified military training.
When the time comes, I will personally test it.
If any soldier fails to meet the requirements, I will cause trouble for him.
This general will not overstep his command.
I just need to take care of you Now, you just need to take care of the captains under you, the captains should take care of the team leaders below, the team leaders should take care of the team leaders, the team leaders should take care of the commanders, and the commanders will take care of the soldiers, level by level.
Only in this way can we do it.
Do you understand that the military orders are clear and the command is consistent?"
All the generals said in unison: "Promise" Returning to the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered people to find Zheng San and asked: "How are the warehouses, farmland, Jiazhan, branch, camp and other affairs handled?
So many cattle, sheep and horses have been seized and need to be grazed.
How about finding pastures?"
Is there any more?"
Zheng San wiped his sweat, cupped his hands and said: "General" Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "From now on, if there are no outsiders, I will call you Brother Liang."
"Nuo" Zheng San quickly changed his words, "Brother Liang, the pasture has been found, and it has been temporarily settled on the edge of Broken Leaf Water.
In total, excluding the ones given to Marshal Gai and General Fumeng, we have more than 16,000 left.
There are more than 3,000 oxen, sheep, and horses.
Among them, there are more than 3,000 oxen, 8,000 sheep, and more than 5,000 horses.
There are about 3,000 that can be used as war horses. , In addition, we have more than 3,000 cattle and sheep in the manor in Shule Town.
Do you think we should come together?
As for the warehouse, Jiazhan, Zhidu and camp fields, my logistics department is handling it every day. , but because the stall is too big and there are few manpower, it is temporarily too busy, and it is estimated that it will take several months to get back on track."
After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Don't drive over the cattle, sheep and horses from Shule Town.
We sell some old cattle and sheep every year and keep the furs.
Find someone to buy the horses and other things from the mainland.
We are short of horses in the mainland." , especially the price of war horses is high.
I wonder if you can find someone to set up a company.
We can set up a special caravan here to collect the goods and sell the goods to the mainland.
In addition, the weapons, armor, clothes and shoes of the two thousand new recruits have not yet been found.
Please do this immediately.
Let's do it, we can't let the soldiers wear messy clothes to drill."
Zheng San said: "Brother Liang, don't worry.
I'll get it done in a moment.

We still have plenty of weapons, armor, bows and arrows in stock.
Let's just say that the seizures this time are for more than 2,000 people.
And we build and repair the ones on board ourselves.
Even if If there are ten thousand people, they can all be equipped.”
"Okay, go ahead" "promise":
