The time came to late September of the second year of Han Dynasty.

The tail end of the autumn harvest is still in progress, and this year's Han Dynasty will have another great harvest.

Except for the grain output in Chu District, which dropped due to the war, the harvests in other places were better than last year.

Although the final statistics have not been seen yet, the results can be seen with the naked eye.

The whole Han Dynasty was busy.

Not just for the autumn harvest.

It's still for the new emperor's enthronement in a month's time.

Qi State surrendered, and it was difficult for Yan State to continue to support itself alone. Therefore, when the Han envoys arrived at Yan State, Yan King Han Guang had to lower his arrogant head.

The State of Yan could not stop it, and the State of Yan did not dare to stop it.

The surrender ceremony of Qi and Yan was held at the coronation ceremony as the first gift for the new emperor.

Harvest, victory, new emperor ascended the throne.

One piece of good news keeps coming out one after another.

The people were also full of laughter and laughter.

Last month, news came from the Ministry of War.

The Han army is about to be reorganized. In addition to the troops currently stationed in various places, they will continue to be on duty and wait for orders.

All other armies were disbanded and returned home.

The number of troops who returned directly to their hometowns was more than 500,000, and all of these more than 500,000 were strong labor forces.

For the autumn harvest, these people also played a vital role.

The government is overloaded with work, and the people are overloaded with work.

What is very different from the outside world is that there is no such busy phenomenon in Han Xin's house.

The mansion is large, but there are not many people.

The servants came and went carefully every day, not daring to make any big noise.

Han Xin's daily life is also very regular. After getting up in the morning, after eating, he will go into the study to read.

When I feel tired, I go to the yard to practice martial arts to relieve my fatigue, and then continue to read a book.

Sometimes we open the door to welcome guests, but these guests are not normal guests.

Most of them are ordinary soldiers, with occasionally one or two high-ranking officers.

Most of the discussions between the guests and hosts were about cavalry operations.

It took more than a month of sorting and discussion.

Han Xin had finally put together a plan for forming a cavalry unit.

Han Xin is a smart man, both in terms of IQ and EQ are online.

So after the plan was sorted out, the first person he looked for was not the King of Han, but Guan Ying.

Ministry of War!

Guan Ying carefully read every word of this plan, and basically didn’t have much opinion on the whole.

But he still has some different views on some details.

"For the nomads who need to frequently attack and fight, can the heavy cavalry keep up with them over such a long distance?" Guan Ying asked.

Although I am busy with the affairs of the Ministry of War, I am also busy with internal reforms.

But Guan Ying also took the time to learn about the situation of the nomads, so after seeing that Han Xin listed the heavy cavalry as a unit, this question arose.

"General, the number of heavy cavalry does not need to be too large, just three thousand. If there are insufficient war horses, you can reduce it as appropriate. Heavy cavalry plays a vital role in dividing the enemy's army." Han Xin explained.

Of course he knew that using heavy cavalry in grassland operations would have a great impact.

Therefore, when configuring war horses, ordinary troops are equipped with one person and three horses, while heavy cavalry units are equipped with one person and five horses.

A main war horse, running empty without carrying any load along the way, ensuring combat effectiveness at all times.

The remaining four horses carry equipment, food, grass and personnel respectively.

"This configuration in the early stage is not feasible!" Guan Ying shook his head directly.

It's not certain how many war horses there are now, and Lu Jia has not sent any news back yet.

Even if Lu Jia can acquire a lot of war horses, as the next main force, the development of the Han army must allow more soldiers to learn and skillfully use cavalry combat techniques in a short period of time.

This is crucial.

Only with enough people can we ensure the expansion of the army at any time.

Thinking of this, Guan Ying continued: "You need to solve the problem of insufficient war horses in the early stage, and let more soldiers learn how to fight with cavalry, and at the same time form a cavalry unit. After you figure it out, go directly to the king. I am afraid that I will be here within a year or two."

I don’t have time to go north.”

"No!" Han Xin nodded gently.

This is indeed a big problem. His plan is very detailed, but it only fails to make arrangements for the lack of horses in the early stage.

As for the war horse, the biggest deployment is probably this line.

The size of the cavalry unit will be determined based on the number of horses.

Han Xin thought for a moment.

He felt that these problems were not his main responsibility. As a general, he just had to come up with feasible solutions.

There is a way to play with more soldiers when there are more soldiers, and there is a way to play with fewer soldiers when there are fewer soldiers.

As for military training, it doesn't seem to have much impact.

So, Han Xin went out and turned left, and soon came to the meeting hall, where he saw Wang Buxu, who was doing official business in a lazy way.

Seeing Han Xin, Wang Buxu temporarily stopped handling official business.

After looking at the plan handed over by Han Xin, he waved his hand and dismissed everyone, and closed the palace door.

Read it carefully and carefully.

I have to say that Han Xin's cavalry formation plan, which took more than a month to create, is quite interesting.

"Why are the personnel selected in this way?" Wang Buxu asked directly when seeing the personnel issue.

Han Xin made selection conditions that were completely opposite to those of infantry. Usually when selecting infantry, priority is given to those who are thick and tall.

The recently emerged shield soldiers are also responsible for the largest men in each unit, as well as some units that require more strength.

"Your Majesty, for cavalry, being thin has greater advantages. First, the lighter weight means less effort for war horses. This also ensures that we can carry more supplies and can go deeper.

The place."

"Secondly, small and thin warriors are relatively flexible. Fighting immediately is not as good as on the ground. The space for warriors to move is relatively small, so they need more flexibility to make up for it. I have asked some soldiers who have been to the north and they responded that the grassland

People are generally stronger and fatter than us, so in this regard, we should use skill rather than force."

"Thirdly, being small does not mean that you are not as powerful as your opponent. In cavalry combat, in fact, it is more about making reasonable use of your own strength and relying more on the impact of the war horse."

Han Xin explained this problem one by one.

Wang Buxu kept nodding his head, which indeed made sense.

If the war horse is not good enough, reduce the load as much as possible to increase the combat radius.

There are advantages to having a small number of personnel, and the cavalry also needs medicine and adapts to local conditions.

Where can I find so many 1.8 meter tall guys?

If we only accept this dead truth, will we still fight this war?

"Weapons also need to be changed!" Wang Buxu said suddenly.

"Weapon?" Han Xin was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, weapons. I have ordered the weapons workshop to build them. This time our soldiers will all replace iron weapons. In the past, when using straight swords, the damage caused by slashing was not as expected. Using the speed of the war horse

Although it can directly pierce the armored enemy soldiers, the soldiers' wrists are very easy to break. If you use the current weapons to fight the Huns, it will be a lose-lose situation."

As he said this, Wang Buxu took out a piece of silk cloth and drew a few rough lines on the cloth with a pen.

If he didn't explain it, he might not even be able to understand what the painting was about.

He stretched out his hand to call Han Xin over, pointed at the painting on the cloth and said: "This is the hilt of the sword. There is a slight arc in the upper third of the sword. When slashing, you can use this arc to increase the size of the wound.

It can also be used for straight thrusts!”

Han Xin looked at the new sword, which was not very curved and could not be said to be straight or curved.

I can't describe any special feeling in my heart. I have never seen it or used it.

It is difficult to imagine his effect through this picture just by imagining it.

Regarding this new guy, Han Xin remained silent for the time being.
