Meeting Li Lu to Save Jianyang
"Big brother, is what General Bao said true? If it's true, what should we do? Big brother must have a good plan, right?" After Bao Xin left, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao immediately asked their big brother.
"2nd brother, 3rd brother, we can't panic. The sky hasn't fallen yet. Even if it does, we three brothers will hold it up. The only plan now is to find out all the situation and movements of Thief Dong.'Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles!' Second brother, from tomorrow onwards, let the Yue Cavalry Lieutenant Wu Fu select 50 capable soldiers from each of our four teams. They will be in charge of investigating all the movements of Thief Dong and the ministers. From now on, we will have all the information inside and outside the capital. Third Brother, starting from tomorrow, you will strengthen the security and patrols outside the Imperial Palace. I will also strengthen the security within the Imperial Palace. We must ensure the safety of the Emperor, Prince Chen Liu, and the Imperial Palace.”After a few months of fighting with his own soldiers, the combat strength of his 2,000 soldiers had finally improved by leaps and bounds. His back had also become stronger, and he ordered his two sworn brothers with confidence.
"Second (Third) Brother will obey Big Brother's orders! Please rest assured, Eldest Brother. Second (Third) Brother will definitely arrange everything properly tomorrow.”Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao saw that their big brother already had a good plan in mind, so they patted their chests and promised him.
"Alright, 2nd brother, 3rd brother, we've been busy for the whole day and are a little tired. Let's quickly finish our supper and get some rest. There's still a lot of military matters waiting for us to handle tomorrow. Yu 'er, hurry up and bring the supper over.”After Wu Jun was done with all his work, he would rest up every day, apart from going through some books with his two sworn brothers. He had always believed that those who did not know how to rest would not know how to live and fight! Only by resting well could he live and fight better!”This was what he had requested of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhao Yu, and all the soldiers under him.
"Alright, Brother Jun, wait a moment. Yu 'er will bring out your favorite dishes.”Ever since she had learned martial arts from Wu Jun and cooked for a while, she had fought to become the head chef of the entire " Guard Commandery ". Although she was a little inferior to her " master " Wu Jun, she still cooked well. Since Wu Jun wanted to put all his energy into military training, he let her be. In the past two months, it was all thanks to Zhao Yu. If it weren't for her cooking nutritious meals for the three brothers every night, the three brothers would have had a hard time.
The next day, after Wu Jun and his brothers arrived at the military camp, they first called Cavalry Capital Lieutenant Xu Huang, Yue Cavalry Lieutenant Wu Fu, and Riding Cavalry Lieutenant Li Hu to the commander's tent. They asked Wu Fu to select 50 shrewd and capable soldiers from the four teams to be responsible for gathering information about Luoyang City. Wu Jun took out 500 of the 600 cavalrymen under his command to form a cavalry unit. Four hundred spearmen and the remaining one hundred cavalrymen were selected to form a spearmen squad of five hundred people. Three hundred archers were selected to form an archer team. Three hundred sword-shield soldiers were selected to form a sword-shield team. The cavalry was commanded by Zhao Yun, the spearmen by Zhang Liao, and Li Hu as the deputy general. The bow and feather team was led by Xu Huang. The Sword-Shield Unit was personally led by Wu Jun himself. Together with the remaining 400 people, they formed a logistics team. The training intensity of the logistics team was the same as that of the other four teams. Because sometimes, the logistics team had to transport grain and baggage, the amount of movement was much greater than that of cavalry and infantry. In many cases, they would even be attacked by cavalry and infantry. Therefore, Wu Jun paid special attention to the training of the logistics team. After all, the logistics team was the " parent soldier " of the entire frontline combat troops. Sometimes, they would even help Xu Huang train the logistics team. Xu Huang was temporarily in charge of the logistics team, and Wu Jun was also the supreme commander of this unit.
After two months of observation, Wu Jun realized that Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang had shown outstanding leadership skills in both offense and defense. However, Zhao Yun preferred and was better at offense, so he was allowed to lead the cavalry. Zhang Liao was better at defensive counterattack and offense, so he commanded the spearmen. Xu Huang was more skilled in defense, so he commanded the bow and feather team and the logistics team. Wu Jun wanted to bring out the greatest potential of his generals.
In ancient times, cavalry was the nemesis of infantry. Infantry consisted of spearmen, sword-shield teams, archers, and so on. Cavalry mainly relied on their speed and momentum. When fighting on the plains, the combat effectiveness of a cavalry was equivalent to eight infantrymen. When fighting in the mountains, a cavalry was equivalent to four infantrymen. When fighting in the forest, a cavalryman's combat power was equivalent to an infantryman. In a siege, three cavalrymen were equivalent to one infantryman. At the same time, the cost of raising a cavalry was the cost of four infantrymen. Therefore, in an ordinary army, the proportion of cavalry was not very high. Firstly, it was because the cost of raising it was too expensive, and secondly, not all generals would recognize the lethality of cavalry. Spearmen were the nemesis of cavalry, sword-shield soldiers were the nemesis of spearmen and archers, and sword-shield soldiers were the nemesis of cavalry. Archers were considered long-range attacks and were very effective against cavalry and spearmen. According to the memories of the later generations, Wu Jun changed the one-sided kick that was popular among the cavalry at that time to a two-sided kick, which greatly improved the stability and flexibility of the cavalry in mobile warfare. To a certain extent, it also improved the combat effectiveness of the cavalry under Wu Jun's command. This could be considered a small innovation at that time. Wu Jun also requested that all the infantry under his command, excluding the cavalry, be equipped with a long spear, so that they could restrain the cavalry to a certain extent.
Due to Wu Jun's repeated reorganization of the troops and the fact that the four generals, Wu Jun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang had spent the past two months training with the soldiers, living together, and even giving pointers to the soldiers on martial arts, the two thousand soldiers under Wu Jun's command were already familiar with the soldiers. They were also very familiar with and respected Wu Jun and the other generals. They didn't care much about which team they were assigned to, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After reorganizing the troops, Wu Jun had Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang lead and train their own troops in the morning. In the afternoon, Wu Jun had the four teams conduct confrontation training and array formation drills. Wu Jun planned to train like this for the rest of the day. In the morning, he would let the four teams train separately to improve their individual combat ability. In the afternoon, everyone gathered together to train the array formation to improve the cooperative combat ability of the various troops.
