Lou Shide hugged his fist and said: "Su Yingzheng is relieved, he has thought very clearly, the reason why he joined the Western Army is to make a meritorious career, and now that the opportunity is in front of him, how can he give up easily." ”"Okay, you are familiar with the situation in the army, we are going to cross Jinshan to the south this time, the territory of the Turks, I expect to bring five hundred people, just now Ashina Daozhen went to scout fifty people, and there are still four hundred and fifty soldiers left, you can help select it.""
Whoa."
The military system of the Tang Dynasty is still dominated by the government military system.On the basis of the peasant households under the uniform land system, 634 military offices were set up in various provinces, prefectures, and counties in the world, collectively known as the Ochichong Prefecture.According to the size of the establishment, it is divided into upper, middle and lower three.The prefect of the prefecture is the commander of the fourth rank, and the deputy governor is the lieutenant of the left and right Guoyi.There is a battalion under the government, and the commander of the first battalion is the captain.Su Qingjie is now the scout battalion battalion, also known as the battalion captain.There is a regiment under the captain, and there is a team under the regiment, which is called the team.There is a team under the team, and there is a team leader.In each battalion, there are five teams.Each team led three groups, and each group received five chiefs, each of whom received ten dings, so that there were fifty-five people in a group.A team of one hundred and sixty-eight people.The first battalion consisted of eight hundred and forty-five men.Of course, this is only an average, and the exact number of people will fluctuate depending on the situation.Lou Shide is now in the army, and Su Dingfang is the captain of the Yue cavalry, that is, the battalion commander.In terms of level, it is the same level as Su Qingjie, and it is half a level higher than Su Dawei.However, this mission was ordered by the chief manager Cheng Zhijie, and Su Qingjie's identity was there, Lou Shide did not feel anything wrong, and his attitude was very calm.On Su Dawei's side, except for Ashina Dao who was really a little proud, no one dared to underestimate this Captain Lou.After all, being able to pass the Jinshi examination in 20 either means that this person has learned well, or he has enough connections, and at the same time, he is a talented person.Either way, it shows that Lou Shide is not simple.You can't take it lightly.About an hour later, Lou Shide personally went to Su Dawei's account to report back, and the person had already been selected.Su Dawei glanced at Ashina Daozhen, who was sitting beside him and chattering, waved his hand to interrupt his words, got up and said, "Let's go, take a look." ”There is a school yard in the barracks.At this time, the four hundred and fifty people selected by Lou Shide were waiting in line in the school field.The cavalry refers to the cavalry of brave and good knights.In this Yue cavalry battalion under Lou Shide, everyone is a skilled person in equestrian and archery.And Su Dawei only has 450 people, basically choosing one of the two.The people who are picked are more elite.Su Dawei and Ashina Daozhen and An Wensheng beside him looked at each other.Although the number of people was only a few hundred, the queue was very neat, one by one, standing as loose, neither talking to each other nor wandering eyes.Su Dawei couldn't help but be surprised: "Captain Lou, this is what you brought out, right?"
Good practice. ”"Su Yingzheng praised it, I have something to report."
A hint of strangeness flashed on Lou Shide's face."
What?""
I didn't break up the original team, so I picked three teams, a total of five hundred and seven people, do you think it's okay?"
Lou Shide asked him tentatively."
Five hundred ......"
Su Dawei glanced at An Wensheng beside him, saw him nodding, and thought in his heart, dozens of people are not a big deal, Cheng Zhijie will not say anything because of this little thing, on the contrary, he will be accommodating for himself.Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "It's okay to have more people, five hundred is five hundred." ”"Yes."
Lou Shide happily hugged his fists, turned around and beckoned: "Team Wang, Team Cui, Team Lu, come here." ”There was a slight movement in the group, and three people strode up.Lou Shide introduced to Su Dawei: "The three of them are all under my team, each of them is in charge of one hundred and sixty-eight people, this is Wang Xiaojie, Wang Team; This Cui team is Zheng, named Cui Qi; This Lu team is Zheng, named Lu Juan. ”Su Dawei nodded to the three of them one by one with his introduction.I know in my heart that these three team members should be Lou Shide's henchmen.Wang Xiaojie has a long head and big ears, and a pair of eyes on his face are very bright.The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, with a somewhat cynical smile.His shoulders were open, his fingers were thick with calluses, and he wore a deer bone wrench in his right hand, and he was clearly skilled in archery."
Wang Xiaojie is as old as me, but he is a veteran, a little oily, Su Yingzheng is not surprised, he has the ability in his hands."
Su Dawei nodded, and looked at Cui Qi and Lu Juan again.Cui Qi has a strong figure, a cold face, a somewhat gloomy gaze, and doesn't seem to talk much.Lu Juan looked thinner and weaker, and had a sense of politeness.However, this person's eyes are extremely lively, dripping and rolling, and he seems to have a lot of thoughts."
The two of them are from the Qinghe Cui clan and the Fan Yang Lu clan."
Su Dawei listened to the introduction and was slightly surprised.These two people are actually from the Shandong Shi clan.But I don't think it's a descendant of the family, or a side branch I don't know.Even so, it can be regarded as having roots.Su Dawei thought to himself, I don't know what skills these people have, they can be ordered to be the team.Lou Shide seemed to see what Su Dawei was thinking, and introduced: "Cui Qi is very good at leading troops, whenever there is a war, he can be a pioneer to receive miraculous achievements; Lu Juan is more calculating, when to rest and where there is a water source, he knows it, and he can also look at the celestial phenomena; As for Wang Xiaojie, he is good at archery, and his riding and archery skills are the strongest in my battalion. ”"Okay."
Su Dawei looked at the sky, and then turned his face to Ashina, who was quite unconvinced on his face, and said, "Can the scout camp go?"
”"Huh?""
I asked if the scout camp could leave now?""
Now?"
Ashina Dao really opened his mouth wide and looked surprised.There was no reaction except for An Wensheng, and Lou Shide's face also showed surprise.And the three teams are positive, Wang Xiaojie's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling.Lu Huang was rolling his eyes, and secretly looked Su Dawei up and down.Cui Qi didn't say a word, but when he looked at Su Dawei's eyes, it became a little more gloomy."
I forgot to introduce to you, this Su Dawei is the deputy battalion of the scout battalion, and the chief manager ordered us to take him as the leader, and this operation is all up to Su Yingzheng.""
Yes.""
Got it."
The three teams are reacting differently.Wang Xiaojie and Lu Juan both responded, but only Cui Qi still didn't say a word.Looking at his gaze, it was quite unkind, and I didn't know what came to mind.Ashina Daozhen only reacted at this time, nodded and said: "The scout is on call at any time, if you want to go, you can leave now." ”After speaking, after a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Leave now?"
”Su Dawei didn't answer him, but looked at Lou Shide: "Captain Lou, the whole team, let them check the equipment, prepare the horses, prepare dry food for three days, and set off in half an hour, is there a problem?"
”"Whoa!"
Lou Shide's back straightened and he bowed down.Su Dawei turned his head to Ashina and said: "The faster we act, the better, God knows if the news will leak, you also go and gather people, just half an hour, time waits for no one." ”"Yes."
Ashina's true expression was awe-inspiring.Su Dawei said everything to this, and he naturally didn't dare to slack off.This time, we must go deep into the enemy's rear, and in addition to hiding and hiding, we must also make preparations for a tough battle.The more the Tang army rode on, the equipment was different from that of ordinary scouts.Before setting out, in addition to selecting a good war horse, the horse should also be fed with fine drinks, fed and fed, and washed when there is time, so as to establish a sense of intimacy with the war horse.Ma Tong human nature, if it is good to them, on the battlefield, there will be a reward, maybe the critical moment can save your life.In addition to horses, there is also armor.There are thirteen armors of the Tang army, one is the bright light armor, the second is the sunlight armor, the third is the fine scale armor, the fourth is the Wenshan armor, the fifth is the black hammer armor, the sixth is the white cloth armor, the seventh is the soap silk armor, the eighth is the cloth back armor, the ninth is the infantry armor, the tenth is the leather armor, the eleven has the wooden armor, the twelfth has the chain mail, and the thirteenth has the horse armor.Among them, it is recognized that the best is the Mingguang armor, but unfortunately it is expensive and not something that ordinary people can afford to wear.It takes six to nine months to build a pair of Mingguang armor alone, and it takes more than 40 people to repair a pair of Mingguang armor.Many people are discouraged just by hearing about the time it was made.Because this Yue Cavalry is a good man, it wears leather armor, which is relatively light and has good defense.If it is a heavy ride, such as the Xuanjia elite ride in Taizong's time, it will be equipped with a vest, and the people and horses will be tightly covered.However, the heavy armored cavalry belongs to the elite of the elite, and it is not common in the Tang army.Su Dawei has not seen it with his own eyes so far.In addition to horses and armor, the hands were also equipped with a lance.The lance, that is, the long-pole spear, is the same as the spear.It is divided into a rifle lance and a horse lance, and the length of the horse lance can reach up to four meters, so it is also called a Zhanghachi spear.During the Three Kingdoms, Zhang Fei used this thing.The front end of the lance resembles a short sword, which can be chopped and sharpened, and there is a complex under the blade to prevent the opponent from penetrating the opponent when the horse charges at high speed.If the lance penetrates the opponent and cannot be pulled out, it is a situation for the cavalry to lose its long weapon.The Yue cavalry battle is mainly based on bows and arrows, so it is not equipped with such a long Shuo, which is about three meters.Then there is the horned bow, and the four-barreled quiver.One barrel is twenty to thirty arrows, and four barrels are full, which is more than 100 arrows.It sounds like an exaggeration, but considering that arrows are consumed when they go deep behind enemy lines, it is impossible to recover them all during battle, so it is necessary to bring more with you.In addition to bows and arrows, horizontal knives are naturally indispensable.There are also short knives for cutting meat.The most surprising thing is that Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie and other three people also brought long weapons covered with black cloth and hung them on the horses.Su Dawei asked casually.Lou Shide explained to him that it was Modao.Hearing the word Mo Dao, Su Dawei suddenly perked up.It's a pity that Lou Shide didn't mean to show it on the spot, and Su Dawei didn't want to make such a strange request.There are four Tang knife systems, one is the instrument knife, the second is the barrier knife, the third is the horizontal knife, and the fourth is the Mo knife.Among them, the ceremonial knife was used as a ceremonial weapon, similar to the honor guard of later generations, mainly gorgeous, and did not consider practicality.The barrier sword is light and flexible, and is used in hand-to-hand combat, a bit like the wakicha of the Japanese samurai.Maybe the Japanese people learned from the Tang people, not necessarily.The short knife that the previous Yue rode with was the barrier knife.And Mo Dao is different, it is a legend.There are only a few records of the shape of the Mo knife in the historical books, and the custom of thin burial in the Tang Dynasty has caused the archaeological excavations of later generations to not see the physical object of the Mo knife.For a long time, there have been various speculations about Mo Dao, but unfortunately there is no conclusion.The only thing that is certain is that the Mo knife is extremely sharp, and it may be an existence such as a horse chopping knife.However, this kind of heavy weapon is definitely not to be used on horses, and the correct use is for the infantry to gather in a phalanx and move forward side by side with their swords.The bright light armor is shining brightly, and the Mo knife is as sharp as electricity.What a scene of blood boiling.Whoever has something to do, everyone is broken!
