The three of them were all good drinkers. After finishing the bottle of Maotai, Gan Ning took out another bottle and continued to drink.

Gan Ning and Zhao Yun got used to it for a while, and their drinking capacity increased, unlike when they first started drinking high-alcohol wine, where they fell down as soon as they drank.

"Zilong, how are you recruiting the cavalry?"

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, I did not let Xiakou's five thousand soldiers and horses learn how to ride horses. Instead, I recruited new soldiers from Qingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and other places.

Most people in these places can ride horses, unlike in Xiakou where many people cannot ride horses.

This time, I selected 2,000 recruits from the water bandits captured by Xingba, disaster victims, and refugees to form a cavalry team."

Zhao Yundao.

Qin Qi nodded.

There is a lack of war horses in Jingzhou, so how can disciples from ordinary families have the opportunity to ride horses? Only disciples from big families have the opportunity.

Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Youzhou are different. In these places, grassland races often invade, and many people know how to ride horses since childhood.

Not to mention the Jingzhou area, even in the Central Plains area, there are not many people who can ride horses.

"On the peninsula, cavalry is the main force, with infantry as the supplement. Even if the Liaodong region is captured, cavalry will still be the main force.

When the peninsula cavalry is trained, a large number of horses will be provided to Xiakou, and Xiakou must have cavalry.

In the age of cold weapons, cavalry was the king. If infantry wanted to be the king, they had to train a group of heavy infantry like Gao Shun did.

However, heavy infantry has too high physical requirements for soldiers, and the equipment is too expensive and not cost-effective. It is already difficult to train a heavy infantry.

It is basically impossible to train more heavy infantry. The cavalry is different. As long as there are horses and some means,

It allows soldiers to be trained into an army in just three months."

Qin Qi said.

ah!

Zhao Yun and Gan Ning exclaimed.

How is it possible?

It takes three months for cavalry to be trained into an army. It’s a fantasy!

"Lord, is there any good way to make the soldiers into an army in three months?"

Zhao Yundao.

Qin Qi shook her head.

"Zilong, Xingba, I can't talk to you about this matter for now, for fear of leaking the secret. Once the grassland races obtain technology,

The strength of the prairie cavalry will increase their combat effectiveness by more than 30%, which will put a lot of pressure on the Central Plains. This technique is very simple.

There is no technical content, as long as I see it, I will process it. This is too big, you two, please forgive me!"

Qin Qi said.

"Of course, when we have a large number of war horses in Xiakou, don't worry about anything, just let the cavalry equip them."

Qin Qi said.

Three treasures among horses!

It did not exist in this era and did not appear until the late Tang Dynasty.

The emergence of the Three Treasures in Horses changed the cavalry combat mode. It was no longer light cavalry, but evolved into shock cavalry and heavy cavalry.

The current light cavalry's combat method is to put it bluntly, it is mounted shooting. The method is too simple and the lethality is not enough.

In this era, in a wide area, the only way to deal with cavalry was cavalry. The cavalry was a complete crushing force against the infantry, and the infantry could not withstand the cavalry attack at all.

Even if the heavy infantry fights against the cavalry, they will be defeated and injured.

It costs more money to train a heavy infantry than a cavalry, and it is completely unequal and uneconomical to be afraid of being injured when the cavalry is defeated.

Archers can fight against cavalry, but the cavalry is too fast and can be killed in a few breaths. Once the cavalry gets in front of the archers, it will be pure massacre.

Seeing Gan Ning, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun looked expectantly.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not that you don't believe you two. The point is that the matter is too big. Once the prairie people find out,

Our Han Dynasty will be very passive, and many people will die in the war. This is a situation that I do not want to see."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, you still have a king bomb!"

Gan Ning said.

hey-hey!

Wang Zha must have a few on his hands, otherwise, as a time traveler, how would he be able to stand firm in this troubled world.

"Xingba, the five-masted warship is also a king, but the technology is too complicated and ordinary people can't build it even if they know it."

Qin Qi said.

Hahaha!

"My lord is right! The five-masted warship of our navy is the king of attack, and other ships will be crushed and pushed sideways when they encounter it."

Gan Ning said.

"Xingba, I have also discovered that the five-masted warship lacks firepower, especially long-range attack weapons.

I have asked Ma Jun to develop long-range strike firepower for warships. We can’t just shoot at you all the time.

The combat mode of collision is too monotonous. We need to equip ourselves with more powerful firepower and diversify our tactics."

Qin Qi said.

"Lord, in fact, the performance of our warships is very good now. Whether it has long-range weapons is not very important."

Gan Ning said.

"No! We cannot be complacent, we must strive for excellence, give full play to the advantages of warships, and strengthen the firepower of warships.

Let the opponent be hit by a long-range attack from a long distance, sink it, and not let the opponent get close to the warship."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, what long-range weapons are you going to install on the warship?"

Gan Ning said.

"One type is a small Qin crossbow, which can shoot ten powerful crossbow arrows at one time to strike the enemy at the maximum range.

The second is the catapult, which fires at the opponent's warship at a distance of three hundred steps and sinks it to the bottom of the water."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, the Qin crossbow that fires ten crossbow arrows at once is also very suitable for infantry. Once the infantry is equipped with it, it will become a nightmare for cavalry and infantry."

Zhao Yundao.

"Zilong, you are right! The workshop is currently developing it, and the one used by the infantry is not the same as the one used by the navy."

Qin Qi said.

"My lord, I am so excited about my humble position that you want to have that kind of long-range weapon right away and have a good fight."

Gan Ning said.

"Lord, this time we cleared out the water bandits in the waters around the peninsula. We fought dozens of battles, but our navy didn't lose a single person.

It basically crushes and pushes the water bandits sideways, which has never happened before in water battles. Everything is due to the superior performance of warships."

Gan Ning said.

"This time the navy is clearing out the bandits in the waters around the peninsula. It is a kind of experience for the navy soldiers and builds the confidence of the navy soldiers.

I firmly believe that the Navy is invincible. However, at the appropriate time, we must inoculate the Navy. We must not be blindly confident, but be moderately confident.”

Qin Qi said.

Confidence is always the magic weapon for an army to win.

The three of them drank two bottles of Maotai.

All were in a daze.

In the misty lake, Qin Qi was helped into the bedroom.

Two beauties appeared in the room.

Suddenly, Qin Qi woke up from the wine.

Wake up with fright.

"Who are you?"

Qin Qi said.
