Chapter 1500 The army of the Song Dynasty should indeed change
Chapter 1500
"What's more, this musket cavalry will be better at surprise attacks and harassment. For example, they can launch a raid while the enemy is carrying out, and escape directly after the war..."
As the drum sounds below changed, the blue cavalry retreated, and the frustrated red infantry finally developed a breath of energy. Finally, they did not have to stay in place in despair, and stared blankly at the blue musket cavalry making trouble outside their range.
Next, there was a wonderful cavalry pursuit battle, two thousand Red Cavalry of the Song Dynasty, chasing the thousand Blue Cavalry.
When the speed of the war horses on both sides was not much different, the Red cavalry was chasing or being chased, and they had no power to resist.
The other party will always keep a sufficient distance with a vulgar and vicious way to solve the problem with the muskets in their hands.
All the great Song civil and military officials present could see clearly that even at a height of a hundred feet away from the Red Cavalry, they could still feel the resentment and despair of the cavalrymen.
Even with the vulgar and treacherous attacks of the Blue Cavalry, they could only eat bad food behind them, and the irritable man began to curse.
The sound of dirty words even spread high above the sky. The military bosses turned black and looked at the emperor with some concern, for fear that the bastards of these guys would annoy the emperor.
Unexpectedly, the emperor Zhao Xu was not displeased, but instead looked happy and smiling, saying to Wang Yang beside him. "It seems that these musket cavalry are indeed powerful. They can't fight and chase them. If our Song Dynasty could form such a cavalry and put them behind the enemy, it would be great."
"Your Majesty is wise. If our Song Dynasty can have a sufficiently powerful musket cavalry joining, and when facing the enemy, if the enemy is defending and waiting for assistance, then our Song Dynasty can first bombard it with the power of Yuanyou. The formation will collapse, and then attack it with musket cavalry..."
Listening to Wang Yang's words, even Su Dongpo, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty who had always been in front of the battlefield, could imagine the scene that would definitely cause the enemy to collapse.
When the enemy wants to fight against our Song Dynasty military, they will first be bombarded by artillery and be destroyed by artillery. Then, the musketeers, with their mobility and extremely long range, will make the enemy desperate whether they are harassing or pursuing.

By the time that emperor Zhao Xu and others came down from the hot air balloon, nearly an hour had passed, and all the generals and soldiers participating in the military exercises were inspected by the emperor.
Emperor Zhao Xu comforted the Red Square infantry and cavalry, whose soul and body were hit hard, and then, he naturally praised the newly formed muslan cavalry, making these young elites flushed with excitement.
After visiting the military exercises and returning to the palace, Emperor Zhao Xu glanced at the many civil and military officials who were discussing the pros and cons of the Musket Hall in an atmosphere.
Even the new and old officials of the two parties who do not like military affairs have mostly adopted a complimentary attitude towards this new military service.
After all, no one was blind. The musketeers had conquered everyone present with their extremely long range and superior maneuverability.
As the instructor of this muslan cavalry, Wang Yang stood here to accept consultations from the civil and military officials who visited the military exercises.
Compared with the Yuanyou Armored Cavalry of the Song Dynasty, muslan cavalry were more like light cavalry because they were only covered with thin and poor defense leather armor. The leather armor on their bodies was mainly used to defend against long-range bows and arrows, without facing the enemy's attacks.
Compared with Yuanyou Armored Cavalry, which is similar to heavy cavalry, the weight of the war horse is lighter and more conducive to long-distance maneuvers.
In addition, muslan cavalry can not only form an army alone, but also operate in concert with the cavalry of the Song Dynasty, which can provide powerful long-range fire cover for the cavalry of the Song Dynasty.
"You can think about it. When the cavalry of the Song Dynasty encountered the same number of enemy cavalry, the cavalry could directly confront the enemy head-on, while the muskets could swim to the wings of the enemy cavalry and use the muskets in their hands to attack the enemy cavalry with a fatal blow.
It is easy to disrupt the enemy's formation, make the enemy cavalry lose sight of each other, and when pursuing the enemy, it makes it difficult for the enemy to effectively organize effective defense lines when retreating."
"Yes, even if they lose their horses and cooperate with our Song Dynasty infantry elites, they will definitely be able to give a lot of damage to the attacking enemy troops and boost morale." Wang Houshen nodded with consent and said authentically.
Hearing Wang Houzhi's words, Cao Shi suddenly felt anxious and quickly said loudly.
"That's the future, isn't it now? Haven't you heard Lord Wang say that the output of muskets in the military weapon surveillance now only has more than a hundred pieces per month.
Now everyone has seen muskets and cavalry, which is extremely sharp and unparalleled. Therefore, cavalry should be supplied first. As for infantry, I will talk about it later."
"I'll say General, what do you mean?" Wang Hou's face turned black. Damn, you old Cao.
Cao Shi smiled dryly and bowed to Wang Hou, but she still said with a thick and strong face.
"Hehe, Lao Wang, it's not that I, Lao Cao, is not that I, Lao Cao, is not that I, has been a rare luxury for decades. Now I have finally put together tens of thousands of elite cavalry elites. Naturally, I have to do everything possible to allow our cavalry in Song Dynasty to run and achieve the greatest results with the smallest casualties."
As for Di Yong, the old driver stood aside with a look of irrelevant look on his face and watched the two brothers fight. There was no way. Lao Cao was the commander of the personal army of the guards in charge of the horse army, and Wang Hou was the commander of the personal army of the infantry who was in charge of the infantry.
As for myself, haha... the commander in front of the palace, that is to say, no matter how much trouble it is, it has little to do with me.
At this time, the emperor Zhao Xu could only stand up and be a peacemaker. "Wang Qing, I understand your thoughts very well. Please be content with the military weapon supervisor to expand production capacity and strive to meet the needs of our great Song horses and infantry armies for muskets as soon as possible."
After hearing the emperor's words, Cao Shi and Wang Hou had nothing to say. The emperor paused and slowly paced the road in the hall.
"The army of the Song Dynasty should indeed have changed. Before, there was an additional imperial artillery, and now the musket cavalry is so sharp that all the ministers have seen it. Therefore, I am preparing to set up the musket cavalry like the imperial artillery."
"Your Majesty is wise, but I don't know how many magistrates of this Imperial Musket Cavalry?" Cao Shi, the boss in charge of the cavalry, lit up his eyes and rushed out and asked the emperor Zhao Xu impatiently.
"Shiyilang, if the military weapon surveillance is fully produced, how much can it be produced in this month? How much does it cost?" The emperor did not directly answer Cao Shi's words, but instead turned his attention to Zhao Ji, the current military weapon surveillance boss.
"Your Majesty, there are now 200 craftsmen and 50 machine tools in the musket workshop. After several renovations, we can now produce 200 revolver muskets in a month, and the cost of each musket is about 8 silos."
