When we returned to the stronghold, it was already the ninth day since we came out. When the sergeants who stayed behind saw so many things harvested from this trip, they couldn't help but rush forward with joy on their faces, especially when they saw the Mingguang Armor.

The eyes even glowed green. Not only was this armor much better in defense than ordinary armor, but it was also a symbol of status.

Yunfeng had already made up his mind on how to distribute the Mingguang Armor. Naturally, he did not need the Mingguang Armor. This was not because of his high moral integrity, but because he was worried that Liu Yueru and Jin Yuehua would feel uncomfortable. After all, they were ripped from the rotten and smelly corpse. In addition,

With his skill, there is not much difference between wearing it and not wearing it. If someone can really attack him with a sword, it must be a master. This thin layer of protection will not have any effect.

The two hundred and eighty pieces of Mingguang armor plus the original ones in the village were exactly the same as the number of horses and two loads of bows, which could be used to expand the number of cavalry to 300. The extra horses were just enough for a group of female relatives, including Yang Ming's wife and daughter.

Inside, Yunfeng only met Yang Ming's daughter once, when they introduced their families to each other. She was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and her name was Yang Huiyu. The little girl was very shy, always lowering her head and never raising her head.

Therefore, Yunfeng could not see the long image clearly.

Early the next morning, after all the sergeants finished practicing boxing, Yunfeng canceled the routine mountain climbing training and called everyone to the school field.

"Sirs!" Yunfeng looked at the sergeants standing upright and with high morale in front of him, and said with satisfaction: "On the battlefield, cavalry should be the first priority. Now I have an army with war horses, bright light armor, and two stone bows with three hundred arrows each.

, so I have decided to select three hundred people from among you to form a cavalry army."

Suddenly, the emotions of all the sergeants became excited, but no one spoke. They just looked at Yunfeng with burning eyes. This was much better than when he first arrived. Before, they would have been whispering and discussing.

In fact, it was not that Yang Ming did not know how to lead the army, but that at that time, everyone could not see a way out, morale was low, and he was a monk for a day and hit the clock, so Yang Ming was too lazy to care. In fact, after these ten days of contact,

Yunfeng discovered that Yang Ming was quite proficient in the art of war and battle formations, which was exactly his weakness, so he humbly asked for advice in this area.

Yang Ming naturally talked about everything he knew, but during the explanation process, he found that Yunfeng could always put forward his own opinions in a timely manner, some of which even he felt deeply convinced.

For example, one time when we were talking about infantry versus cavalry, Yunfeng proposed hook-and-scythe spears to fight cavalry. Although he also thought of the Mo Dao at the time, it was just that the Mo Dao was expensive. Judging from the situation in the north at that time, he could not afford this thing. If it spread.

Going out actually gave Jiangdong an advantage. With the wealth of the Jiangdong nobles at that time, it was entirely possible to equip one or even several Mo Dao armies. This was something Yunfeng did not want to see, so he mentioned the cheap hook and sickle gun.

The hook-and-scythe spear is seven feet and two inches long, with an eight-inch head, with a hook on one side and a curved sickle on the other. When fighting against cavalry, the curved sickle can be used to cut the opponent's horse's legs, or the hook can be used to hook the enemy's iron helmet.

Come down, and then cut off his head with a curved sickle! Naturally, Yang Ming was full of praise for this wonderful idea, while Yun Feng secretly felt ashamed. Haha, can you be embarrassed after plagiarizing the achievements of later generations of the Song Army? What a pity.

The conditions in the cottage are simple, there is no blacksmith, and there is no iron ore. We can only wait until conditions are available to build it in the future.

Yunfeng met the scorching gazes of the soldiers and said: "Anyone who can draw a two-stone bow can participate in the competition." Then he pointed to a row of targets on the side of the field and said: "Everyone must ride a horse to draw a bow at a gallop.

Shoot ten arrows from fifty steps away and take the top three hundred people with the best results. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.

Yunfeng nodded and said: "Start!"

The first step is to draw two stone bows, and each person shoots three arrows. Whether they are accurate or not does not matter in this round, as long as they can be drawn to the full moon. As a result, 460 people passed through, including Yang Ming, and were killed.

Everyone's face was red, and they spontaneously ran to the sidelines to practice boxing. As for Yang Ming, Yunfeng originally did not allow him to participate, but he insisted on treating everyone equally, so he let him go, but he was not counted among the three hundred.

Within the cavalry.

Next, the four hundred and sixty people rode their horses and fired their bows one by one, each with ten arrows. By the time all the competition was over, the sun was already falling! The best result was still Yang Ming, and the Han brothers were slightly worse than him.

The fifty-two scouts were even worse. Afterwards, Yunfeng was not very satisfied. Some missed the target, some hit the outermost circle, and some even fell off their horses when they fired their bows.

This made him very speechless. But the reality was like this. The dwarves also had to recruit generals. After selecting 300 people to form the cavalry, he felt helpless in his heart. It seemed that training alone was not enough. He also had to engage in confrontation and military affairs.

exercise!

Then he asked Xiang Yangming, "Mr. Yang, do people usually come and go in this wilderness outside the mountains?"

"No one comes and goes." Yang Ming then explained that in the past two years, they went down the mountain to rob, and the plundered too much, which naturally led to the raids by the Di people. However, this mountain stronghold is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a water source. They have attacked it several times.

It was not conquered, but it suffered a lot. Moreover, even if it was conquered by force regardless of casualties, it would not gain much. The village was very poor, but it lost its own strength in vain. Therefore, after the last clearing, there was no more success.

After passing the troops, they only strengthened their vigilance and ordered the tribesmen to retreat back. As time went by, no one came to the foot of the mountain. Now the Di tribe closest to the mountain stronghold is about fifty miles away, with a total of about a thousand warriors.

Hearing what Yang Ming said, Yunfeng felt relieved. Early the next morning, he pulled all three hundred cavalrymen, including the personal guards, down the mountain to the plain outside the mountain.

"This time there is a cavalry confrontation, one mile apart, one chasing and one escaping, each with 150 men, temporarily named Team A and Team B. Team A is commanded by Han Yong, Team B is led by Zeng Daniu, and is awarded by me.

The cavalry determines the outcome. Each person is equipped with twenty arrows, and the arrows are wrapped in cloth and dipped in red paint. Anyone who is hit by an arrow in the body, head or face is considered dead and must withdraw from the battlefield. Anyone who is hit by two arrows in his limbs is a horse.

Those who are hit by three arrows will be treated in the same way. The confrontation will not end until all the arrows are shot, or all one party is killed. Now, the two captains step forward to draw lots." Yun Feng said loudly.

All the sergeants felt novel for a moment. This kind of military confrontation had never happened before, and they couldn't help but jump at it.

Han Yong's draw is to chase, while Zeng Daniu's draw is to escape.

After the two returned to the team respectively, they arrived at the designated location. With Yunfeng's order, the exercise officially began.

The rumble of horse hoofs resounded in the wilderness. Team A rode their horses to catch up with Team B. When the time came, they all opened their bows and fired arrows. For a while, arrows rained down, and people from Team B kept withdrawing from the battlefield.

"Fight back! Fight back! Damn it, I'll turn around and shoot you!" Zeng Daniu's eyes were red with anxiety, but except for the twenty-six personal guards assigned to him, almost no one could hit the pursuers.

In a moment, before the arrows were fired, Team B was all killed. Yunfeng shook his head as he watched.

Next, we clean up the battlefield, remove all traces on our bodies, and let Party B pursue Party A. As expected, the result is almost the same as the first time.

In desperation, Yunfeng assigned 25 men from the pursuing side to the fleeing side, and 125 men chased 175 men. The effect was slightly better, but he was still defeated. Another 25 men were assigned to the fleeing side.

When people pass by, from one hundred to two hundred, there will be victory and defeat for each other.

In the following days, there was such a confrontation every day. It was not until the fifth day that the pursuing side could no longer win, so they increased their numbers again. Nearly a month later, the fleeing side was able to defeat 100 against 200 without losing.
Chapter completed!
