"Since Mobei has sent us another 10,000 heads, wouldn't it be disrespectful if we didn't accept them?"
Zhao Muyun smiled slightly.
It seemed as if he was jokingly planning to devour all these ten thousand Tartar soldiers and horses, leaving not a single scrap behind.
If the generals under Zhao Muyun had heard Zhao Muyun say such words before, they would probably all be in disbelief.
But now it is different. After the battle of Yinzhou, Zhao Muyun ordered his 1,000 men to directly fight against 1,000 men led by Ogeduo.
Later at Feihu Ridge, Zhao Muyun planned and used fire attacks and various tactics to wipe out 5,000 Tatars.
And he himself only paid a very small price.
Who wouldn’t want to follow and fight for a coach who always wins a game?
Now, no matter what Zhao Muyun said or what orders he issued, not only did his subordinates not disobey, but they would rack their brains to find ways to better implement the orders and give unexpected surprises based on the original plan.
"Your Excellency is right! Let alone ten thousand Tartars, even if a hundred thousand Tartars came, what would it matter?"
Inside the big tent were Zhao Muyun, Yin Ji, Tang Yanhai, Wang Tiezhu, Zhong Dahu, Du Wei, Lin Feng, Wu Shangzhi, Tian Qing and others.
After Tian Qing delivered the food and grass, he returned to Shuozhou to conduct intensive training of soldiers, and then brought 500 compound bows, 100 broadswords, and 1,000 triangular spears from Yinzhou!
The number of compound bows of Zhao Muyun’s army in Feihukou has reached 1,500!
And the number of horizontal swords is nearly 800.
With sufficient raw materials of coal and pig iron, Lu Zhizi worked day and night in Yinzhou to build weapons urgently needed on the front battlefield.
Zhao Muyun's goal is to make compound bows, broadswords, and triangular spears standard equipment for his troops.
Later, weapons such as horse lances, Mo Dao, repeating crossbows, and bed crossbows should be gradually added as the size of the soldiers under your command increases.
There are also heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, etc.
For a longer period of time in the future, Zhao Muyun’s main task, whether it is to recapture the three states of Yun, Feng and Sheng and push the front line to the Daqing Mountains, or to defend the four states of Wei, Shuo, Yan and Yin and establish a solid line of defense for the border of Dayin, requires the improvement of troops and weapons!
The way to deal with the Northern Di Tartars is not only to use cavalry to restrain cavalry, but also to coordinate and cooperate with multiple arms.
The Tatars have horses and warriors who grew up on horseback, while Zhao Muyun has powerful bows and crossbows, sturdy iron armor, and sharp weapons.
When a flesh and blood body faces bows, arrows, helmets and armor, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.
Therefore, when Zhao Muyun took control of Shuozhou, marched into Weizhou, and burned Feihu Ridge, he asked Zhao Wen to gather all the blacksmiths and other craftsmen in Shuozhou and Yanzhou and send them to Yinzhou, giving them money and land to let them settle down in Yinzhou, and then merge them into Lu Zhizi's blacksmith workshop.
Hundreds of craftsmen were attracted to Yinzhou.
Lu Zhizi suddenly became the head of Zhao Muyun's blacksmith workshop in Yinzhou.
In addition to important technical research and transformation, Lu Zhizi began to stop touching the tongs and hammer. He devoted himself to studying the drawings drawn by Zhao Muyun when he was at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower.
The daily affairs of the blacksmith shop were managed by Lu Zhizi's son Lu Da.
Lu Da is now mainly organizing blacksmiths to mass-produce three main weapons: compound bows, broadswords, and triangular spears.
When Zhao Muyun entered Shuozhou, he had already conveyed the idea of product componentization and process standardization to Lu Zhizi and Lu Da.
For example, the production process of compound bows has been simplified. After the bows are disassembled into various parts, in addition to the craftsmen in the blacksmith shop, ordinary people in Yinzhou can be recruited to engage in assembly line production activities.
Compared with the previous long process where one craftsman was responsible for the entire production process of a bow, the overall production efficiency has increased exponentially.
With raw materials and simple assembly lines, the efficiency of producing compound bows, broadswords, and triangular spears has been greatly improved.
Within the ten days that Zhao Muyun was stationed in Feihukou, the workshop in Yinzhou had already mass-produced these weapons and delivered them to the hands of the frontline soldiers in a timely manner.
"Sir, we are now fully prepared. When will we launch our attack on King Zhelan?"
Dewey couldn't wait any longer.
It was originally under the jurisdiction of Guannei Dao.
However, Li Jingang of Xiazhou rebelled, separating him from Tian Zun.
Yinzhou, which also belonged to Guannei Dao, was transferred to Hedong Dao after the Battle of Shuozhou.
He had no one to rely on and could only seek help from Yinzhou in the north in order to keep each other warm.
Before Du Wei could speak, Zhao Muyun took the opportunity to come to Yanzhou to rescue Bai Ruolan and reached a cooperation with Du Wei in Yanzhou on the joint mining of Qiwushan Coal Mine.
With Zhao Muyun's promotion to the rank of Colonel of Seven Prefectures, Yanzhou became a prefecture under Zhao Muyun's jurisdiction.
Dewey was also quite active in participating in the battle to rescue Weizhou this time.
On Feihu Ridge, he tasted the long-lost taste of victory.
After more than ten days of rest, Dewey and his 1,000 Yanzhou troops were full of fighting spirit, high morale, and eager to fight.
"Brother Du, Lord Zhao will naturally wait for the 10,000 Tartar troops to arrive!"
Zhong Dahu spoke to Dewey in a carefree manner with an air of superiority.
As Zhao Muyun's former superior, and the two of them had some very special past, Zhong Dahu seemed to be showing off his seniority towards others.
But no one cared too much!
After all, Zhao Muyun also respects Zhong Dahu very much.
Zhong Dahu's performance in the battle of Shuozhou is also worthy of everyone's admiration.
"The Tartars have an army of ten thousand, and their leader is definitely no ordinary person. If he comes to Weizhou, will he fall into our ambush range so easily?"
