It had been more than ten days since Wen Zheng arrived on the grassland. Anyway, there were no combat missions these days, but he trained his boys to death.
When we had dinner on the first day, Wen Zheng could tell that these people's food was even better than that of some landlords. If this was the case, then the oil and water on your body must be blown out.
In the past few days, the brothers of the cavalry brigade have really suffered enough. Except for sleeping at night, they spent almost the rest of their time on horseback.
Originally, all cavalrymen had only one war horse, but as the army went deeper into the grasslands, more and more war horses were obtained, and now every official combatant has more than two war horses.
This also created more favorable training conditions for Wen Zheng, and of course his brothers suffered even more.
Many people went to Gao Shaoyi to complain, feeling that Wen Zheng was simply a devil coach and that many things had exceeded their physical limits.
But instead of asking about this matter, Gao Shaoyi sent the soldiers around him to train with him. This was to support Wen Zheng in a practical way.
No matter how many complaints the many soldiers below had, after seeing the soldiers around Gao Shaoyi, they were all speechless and could only grit their teeth and continue training.
I thought I would have a chance to fight after arriving at Prince Yu Dan's Mansion. Who knew that the two sides had been facing off here for nearly ten days. So during these ten days, Wen Zheng had been taking half of his men out for training.
The remaining people were on standby in the military camp. They were preparing to take the brothers out today when Gao Shaoyi's order had already been issued.
"Go ahead and check all your supplies and equipment immediately. Make sure every soldier is fully prepared."
After receiving Gao Shaoyi's order, Wen Zheng's face was neither happy nor sad, and he immediately ordered his men to start preparations.
Many people in the military camp wanted to go to fight, and they were very happy after receiving the order, but Wen Zheng's face did not show it. If the Rakshasa army did not intervene, the Huns cavalry alone would never be our opponent.
It's time to take the brothers out for some training. The results on the training ground must be tested in actual combat.
Only ten minutes have passed, and the brothers of the cavalry brigade have been prepared. All of them are carrying two pistols and a rifle on their backs. There are no rifles in this era, so
The original rifle was a bit too bulky.
In addition, there are many grenades on the cavalry's saddles.
This is also a new tactic they have developed. If there is someone chasing behind us, we can throw grenades while walking. Their grenades have been modified and have a longer delay, and can be specially used for cavalry fighting.
"Report to the brigade commander that everything is ready."
The soldiers below gathered around Wen Zheng.
To be honest, when Gao Shaoyi arranged for Wen Zheng to be the brigade commander, many of the people below were a little dissatisfied. They all felt that the prince had no ability and was nothing more than the cousin of our Lord Marquis. Otherwise, how could he be here?
How about being a brigade commander?
With this mentality, everyone was carefree when they first started training. But after a few days, these people also saw that in addition to their high status, their skills were not bad at all, especially those who shoot immediately.
ability.
Wen Zheng's riding skills were not bad before, which is also related to the training he received when he was a child. But when it comes to shooting skills, he may not be as good as the ordinary soldiers in the suppressing army, but in order to be qualified for the cavalry brigade, this guy
For a long time, I only sleep four hours a day, and the rest of the time is spent riding horses and training.
Finally, he was able to practice this in a few days. He hit the target continuously while riding on the horse, which also made the other brothers put away their contempt in their hearts.
Of course, Gao Shaoyi's unlimited ammunition supply is also a very important part. If you count bullets, no matter how hard you try, you may not be able to achieve such marksmanship in a short time. All sharpshooters are fed bullets.
This sentence is applicable to any era.
The Huns' cavalry soon began to move. Wen Zheng was also ready, and he also found out the line in his mind. Gao Shaoyi's order had already come, as long as the Huns' cavalry crossed that line
, they can attack immediately.
But the problem is that the Huns only roam ten miles away and will never cross that line. At such a distance, even if our cavalry rushes out, it is impossible to engage in firefights with them. The distance is too far.
"Master Marquis, even if these people hang around until tonight, I'm afraid they won't come to our place."
Boss Wang could see very clearly that the Huns had been wandering for half an hour, but they never had the intention of taking a step south. They were always ten miles away.
"Can't sit still?"
Gao Shaoyi looked back. Except for Boss Wang, everyone else couldn't sit still. After all, they had been parked here for nearly ten days. Usually there was no movement at all. Today, there was some movement at least, and there was no way.
Just like before.
"Artillery preparation."
Gao Shaoyi spit out four words, and the people around him immediately became energetic. The cavalry can't reach you, but our artillery can reach you. Don't you think we can't hit you ten miles away?
"Pull out all the artillery."
Gao Shaoyi visually measured the distance and found that both the 105mm artillery and the 70mm artillery could hit this position.
"The artillery is preparing to adjust and fire at Zhu Yuan..."
There were sounds one after another on the position. The Marquis just asked the artillery to prepare, and did not say which part of the artillery to prepare. That means that all the artillery can fire later.
The number of artillery pieces possessed by an infantry division is astonishing. If all the artillery pieces were to be fired, there would be at least several hundred artillery pieces.
In addition, two heavy artillery regiments accompanied the army.
If the Marquis really orders the artillery fire later, I am afraid that there will not be many Xiongnu cavalry left.
"The heavy artillery regiment is ready...
"The Second Heavy Artillery Regiment is ready...
"The artillery regiment of the 1st Infantry Division is ready."
"The artillery company of the 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Brigade and 1st Regiment is ready."
The sounds of one after another spread to the vicinity of the headquarters. Gao Shaoyi smiled on his face. It was time for his soldiers to let out the suffocation in their chests. If you want to drag it on, I don't have the time...
