In order to ensure that his army has stronger combat effectiveness, Zhao Ji specially selected 3,000 people from his original subordinates and formed a personal army of Jinyi.

Yue Fei served as the commander-in-chief of Jinyi's personal army, and Han Shizhong, "Puhan Wu" served as the deputy commander-in-chief of Jinyi.

With these two great Song generals, Zhao Ji was ready to see the empire and deal with the Jurchens in the future.

After receiving personal arrangements from the governor of the State King Jin, Li Xianzhong came to Jinyi's personal army to report the next day.

At this time, Zhao Ji had just arrived and was listening to Yue Fei and Han Shizhong rewarding him with the progress of the Jinyi New Army.

"Your Highness, the Chief Secretary sent five thousand horses yesterday. Isn't it too many?" Yue Fei said to Zhao Ji.

"Too many? Why do you say that?" Zhao Ji was a little confused.

The lack of horses in the Central Plains has always been a problem.

Now that I have finally achieved the freedom of horse mounts, how can I feel that there are too many?

"Your Highness, now there are thousands of people in the army, and less than two or three percent of them can ride horses. If you are skilled in riding, there will be fewer ones. There are so many horses, there are really a lot of them." Yue Fei said.

"Not many, no more, people who can't ride horses can learn slowly!" Zhao Ji said.

"But, this riding technique cannot be learned in one or two months, or even a year or two. With so many horses in the army, it takes a lot of time to take care of them alone." Yue Fei said.

When Zhao Ji heard this, he looked at Yue Fei with a smile, and then said.

"Have you ever thought about letting the entire army fight on horseback?"

"Your Highness, are you kidding? In that case, without two or three years of hard training, there would be no way to go on the battlefield, let alone against the Jurchen barbarians who are superb in riding skills." Yue Fei shook his head and said.

His honest temper really made Zhao Ji like him a little.

Han Shizhong next to him was much more colorful. He stared at Yue Fei and then said to Zhao Ji with a smile.

"Your Highness, are you planning to make the whole army ride on horseback and then dismount and fight?"

When Zhao Ji heard Han Shizhong's words, he was immediately a little happy.

"Han Wu said it well, that's what I think!"

Afterwards, Zhao Ji told him his plans.

The five thousand horses were also what he asked the chief to send to Jinyi to his personal army, with the purpose of being a mount for soldiers.

"However, I am not simply planning to let the soldiers be infantry riding horses, and also train them into new cavalry!" Zhao Ji continued.

"New cavalry?"

When Yue Fei and Han Shizhong heard such words, they were both confused.

They never thought of new cavalry. Cavalry has developed for thousands of years from ancient times to the present, and no matter what form of cavalry it is, they have already existed.

What other tricks can you learn now?

"Your Highness, what is a new cavalry?" Han Shizhong asked.

"There are two types of cavalry nowadays. One is to wear armor and charge and rush into formation, and the other is to use bows and crossbows to attack. The first is to break the formation and defeat the enemy, and the second is to come and go like the wind!"

Zhao Ji's words made Yue Fei and Han Shizhong stunned. Both of them were expecting Zhao Ji to tell what the so-called new cavalry was.

I heard Zhao Ji continue, "And the cavalry I want can be able to attack and come and go like the wind!"

"Your Highness, this is probably impossible, right?" Yue Fei said with some doubts.

"Yes, Your Highness, since you want to attack the toughest, you must wear armor and hold a long spear and heavy axe. Once this man and horse are heavy, it is impossible for them to come and go like the wind." Han Shizhong shook his head and said.

"Haha, that's the past. Now I have a new way, so I can naturally have both." Zhao Ji said.

"Your Highness, what's the solution?"

"Because the weapons used are the latest weapons, enough to have both a cavalry!"

After Zhao Ji said that, he waved to the personal soldiers behind him.

The personal soldiers immediately brought up a brand new musket.

"Two, times have changed, and from then on, this thing will control the situation!"

Zhao Ji took the musket and sighed to the two of them with emotion.

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong have both seen muskets and know that this is a new weapon that uses gunpowder.

However, the two of them have never experienced the specific power of this musket at close range.

After all, the output of muskets has just begun. With the strong combat power of the two of them, even if they don’t use this cheating thing, it will not affect their victory in the battle.

"Your Highness, how should this thing be used for cavalry?" Han Shizhong asked.

"You see, the weight and length of this musket have been greatly reduced and are very suitable for use on horseback."

Zhao Ji showed the new musket to the two.

The length of this musket is only two feet long, which is very short compared to the musket of four or five feet.

"As long as the cavalry uses this musket on their horses, when they encounter an enemy, they only need to ride a horse to nearly a thousand, and then pull the trigger hard to kill an enemy, at least they will be seriously injured."

Zhao Ji said as he began to load gunpowder and projectiles.

He wanted to show the power to the two of them himself.

I saw Zhao Ji loading the musket and then leading an ordinary horse at will.

With his slight kick, the horse began to run forward.

When the horses rushed towards the straw target group in front, Zhao Ji controlled the reins and let the horses pass by diagonally, as if they were passing by an infantry phalanx.

'Bang!'

At this moment, the musket in Zhao Ji's hand spewed out a burst of flames and rolled his eyes, and the loud noise made both of them stunned.

The two of them looked at each other and immediately realized the wonders of this new cavalry.

"Your Highness is mighty, I admire you!" Han Shizhong said loudly to Zhao Ji who was riding his horse back.

"Your Highness, is this the key to the new cavalry?" Yue Fei was a little impatient.

"That's right, the tactics I just demonstrated to you are the tactics of new cavalry in the future! As long as you master this tactic, even if you are a bad rider, just contact me and no longer fall off the horse's back, you can become an army!" Zhao Ji said proudly.

"Your Highness, you are really a talented person. With such a powerful new cavalry, there will be no place in the world. No matter the divisions in the northern grasslands, they must completely surrender!" Han Shizhong rubbed his hands and exclaimed.

Zhao Ji's new cavalry tactics are basically the muslan cavalry tactics that became popular in the Spanish Grand Formation era in history.

It also utilizes the mobility of the cavalry and the high damage of the musket.

When there are many cavalrymen, these new cavalry can be listed as
