"Shishou Xiao Chen has become more and more experienced in using troops. He used troops like this four years ago, and now he can do this."

In the newly completed yamen of the Beiyang Military Office in Tianjin, although summer has passed, the staff of the military office still did not forget to shake the fan. Zhao Shizhen held the mud-gold folding fan, and Xu Wei gently waved the palm-leaf fan, pointing to the war report sent by Japan: "The young man is terrifying."

"Our general is terrifying. Four years ago, the general used troops like this." Zhao Shizhen raised his head and said, "The general general still used troops like this four years later. Du Heizi said that he could join him."

The palm-leaf fan, who was pointing in the direction of the country, stopped. Xu Wei thought about Zhao Shizhen's words and thought about it. It seemed that this was indeed the case, and suddenly realized it.

"The commander-in-chief only expanded his military strength in each place, and the other forces were led by others." The old madman took a sip of tea, his expression was intriguing, and said, "Can you be the one who can only bring so many soldiers, right?"

The two were chatting in the military government office. Chen Mu, who was wearing a helmet and armor on the school ground, rubbed his arms and walked into the yamen with big striking steps. When they saw the two of them looked strange, they felt strange. They looked around and found nothing wrong. They asked, "What are you talking about?"

Xu Wei was a man of great spirit and asked calmly, "I told Chang Ji that Xiao Chen's military skills were deeply influenced by the military tactics of the great general, and it was really awesome to the younger generation."

Zhao Shizhen was not good enough, especially after hearing Xu Wei's serious answer, he could no longer hold back the smile on his face, shook his head and sighed: "Students really don't know the mystery of the military strategy of the Grand Marshal, just like the infantry of the flag army. If there is nothing special, why can the Shuai assert that his army can defeat the enemy cavalry? They are all the same war horses."

"Only the same as the war horse."

Speaking of war horses, Chen Mu gritted his teeth. He used to have no horse army, and he didn't think it was too expensive to raise a few horses. Now it's different. Du Song ordered nine thousand war horses from the guards, military pastors, and markets in the northern border. He didn't have the money to give them only so much money. He was also hoping to advance military pay for the newly recruited army to settle down. A large amount of silver transported from Nanyang was dispersed in a blink of an eye, and then he brought back more than two thousand horses in batches.

But this is also good. The Beiyang Military Palace can give enough time to delineate wild ranches. Such a huge number of war horses cannot be tamed in one ranch, nor can it be. If you have money, you can do it, but Chen Mu's financial resources can't be maintained anyway.

He sat at the head of the military government office and brought someone a big bowl of herbal tea, saying, "The pasture has been found, with eighteen wild pasture fields and nine horse wings. In this way, only three months a year will raise horses, and the financial expenditure is not large. As for the doubts Chang Ji said, I ask you, what is the enemy cavalry?"

"Don't confront cavalry with infantry. The reason why cavalry is special is that it runs faster than two legs, just because they ride horses." Chen Mu talked without waiting for Zhao Shizhen to answer: "Chen's original words were not that the cavalry trained could defeat the Northern Barbarians, but that the guards of the Beiyang Army could defeat the Northern Barbarians. Altan's armored cavalry could not hold a bow and shoot, or could not dismount the horse and shoot? Mongolian light-armed bow and cavalry could not attack with a knife, or could they dismount the horse and shoot?"

"Even if the war horses and flag troops are consumed, I don't plan to train a cavalry that aims to rush with Altan's cavalry or shoot with the Northern Barbarians."

"The military battle is not about meeting opponents, but a perfect match to win. Look at the battle report. Li's cavalry is the essence. The servants are all heavy cavalry, but they do not attack and attack. They only attack from both sides when the enemy formation collapses and runs away. They take a bow and shoot more than ten steps away. The chains are smashed down in three or five steps. A few hundred cavalry killed thousands of enemies in one battle, and only three of them fell off their horses."

"You ask him to start fighting and attacking. The infantry formed a gun formation and shot archery rain. He stabbed his pole with two feet long, and even the heavy cavalry would be stabbed off the horse."

Zhao Shizhen roughly understood what Chen Mu meant and asked, "What kind of cavalry should the general train be? Just fight with the enemy cavalry."

Chen Mu turned his head and smiled, spread his hands and said, "Of course, the enemy can shoot him when he attacks, the enemy can chase him when he flees, and the enemy's bow and cavalry can slash and slash from the flanks when he shoots, and the cavalry is just a functional type of troops. Only those without horses will feel that the cavalry is enough to determine the battlefield."

"The horse team is not used for assault?"

Zhao Shizhen's mind became romantic and danced with his hands and feet, "Hold the horse-ba cavalry spear, form a formation and break through the enemy's formation, break out of the gap, and slash and kill in all directions of the formation."

"Of course, if this tactic is used well, it can directly help the army achieve comprehensive victory. This is also the main focus of the future training of the military guards. However, this requires a lot of training and not any cavalry can do it."

“A lot of training?”

"You can pull out a hundred farmers and send them bird guns, so that they can get close to the enemy army to thirty steps to fire guns, can you?" Chen Mu chuckled and shook his head and said, "The Xiangshan Flag Army of Nanyang Wei, in the battle of Jumahe, fired a hundred bird guns for the first time, only less than 70% of them."

"It's early, it's too late, the gun cannot be taken off. People in the battle have momentum. The courage of the two armies fights each other and intimidates each other. Panic will minimize the ability of the soldiers. If you find some peasant soldiers companies to speak to hundreds of people, you can't explain clearly, so let them fire guns at hundreds of people?"

"The reason why Chen has put the training of cavalry on the agenda is not because he is about to set out for the Eastern Expedition, but because he has finally mastered the training of infantry, and has enough experience in theory and practice to start practicing cavalry. The combat power of cavalry lies not only in cavalry, but also in their war horses."

Xu Wei was better than Zhao Shizhen. He remembered the piles and runways that Chen Mu built on the cavalry school field earlier, and asked, "So those road stakes and road stakes in Chen Shuai practiced war horses?"

"Of course, the Mongolian cavalry is very powerful. Their riders are the best riders. They are bold and fearless and orderly, and they gather and disperse. But their horses are not, so it is difficult to start an attack." Chen Mu shook his head gently and said, "I'm not saying that Mongolian horses are short and weak. No matter how small and weak the war horses are, they are stronger than humans. I just tried today. As long as you run a horse for five steps, your spear can lift a large bag of 100 kilograms and three feet away."

Chen Mu sat in the yamen and chatted for a long time. Zhao Shizhen had seen him rub his arms several times and asked, "That... the handsome man's arm?"

"Ah? No, after stabbing, I felt hot and wanted to do something fun right away." Chen Mu covered his face with his hand a little ashamed, "I almost swung myself down and pulled it."

The horse spear, which is 19 feet tall, is one inch thick and is a huge wooden spear of nine pounds. Chen Mu can still swing it away with his waist but cannot hold back his strength, so he made a big joke in the schoolyard.

"Master, this is retribution." Du Heizi stood behind with a sagging face and whispered: "The 7th chapter of the Flag Army's Guidance Order of Guns and Spears, and no flower guns are allowed to practice."

Chen Mu raised his head and laughed, "This time they should know why they didn't let the flower gun practice. Military array gun technique, just one shot and one poke, and the rest are useless. This is the truth."
