The independent battalion headquarters was not far from the training ground in the back mountain. Wang Chengzhu and Chu Yunfei were chatting and unconsciously came to the side of the training ground.

Since each company was stationed separately, the only ones permanently stationed in the Wangjiacun base area at this time were the reserve company, artillery company, and cavalry company.

Still far away, Wang Chengzhu, Chu Yunfei and others heard waves of horses neighing and angry curses.

"1 row, 1 class, the leading rider stands firm!"

"1st row, 2nd class, turn right, go!"

"1st row, 3rd shift, keep distance!"

"Damn it, why are you so stunned?"

"Hey, I'm talking about you, but you still turn to look at others!"

Then there was a crisp sound of 'pop', followed by a scream of 'ah'.

Chu Yunfei looked closely and saw a large group of cavalry training in an open space not far away.

There are about 150 cavalry in the entire cavalry, most of whom are lining up to watch. Only about 30 cavalry are divided into three horizontal teams and are practicing equestrian skills in the center of the open space.

A tall and strong veteran was riding a war horse and giving command.

In fact, the training of cavalry and infantry is similar, both require training in formation, physical fitness, etc.

Although the cavalry has horses to travel, the physical energy consumption during battle is greater than that of the infantry, because not only riding a horse requires physical strength, but when the cavalry fights with the enemy, they mostly use swords, which consumes more energy than shooting guns, so it is more

Need to strengthen physical training.

Wang Chengzhu did not have a cavalry training manual, and Chen Xiao performed all the training of the cavalry company on his own.

At this time, the cavalry company was training its formation.

The formation training of the infantry is to exercise the collective will and make the troops become a whole, while the formation training of the cavalry is to make the cavalry realize the unity of man and horse, like arms and fingers.

Otherwise, what kind of cavalry would they be if they couldn't even carry out a simple charge?

Many of the cavalrymen in the original Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion only cared about having fun and neglected training. Although they could ride horses, they did not have much combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Chen Xiao conducts various intensive training for the cavalry company almost every day. In addition to horse training and physical fitness, it also includes marksmanship.

According to Wang Chengzhu, if a problem can be solved with a gun, why use a knife? Use a gun when you are far away, and use a knife when you are close.

Therefore, in addition to the standard cavalry swords and rifles, the cavalry company is also equipped with a short gun for each person.

That is to say, the current conditions of the independent battalion are limited, otherwise Wang Chengzhu would have to equip them all with submachine guns.

Chu Yunfei watched for a while and said: "Battle Commander Wang, is this the puppet cavalry that your independent battalion recruited in Wanjia Town?"

"good!"

Wang Chengzhu nodded, this is not a secret, so there is no need to hide it.

Qian Bojun next to him said: "It's just some simple training. Could it be that your cavalry is only at this level?"

Wang Chengzhu smiled and then waved to Chen Xiao who was not far away.

Chen Xiao signaled his troops to stand by, then rode his horse to Wang Chengzhu and turned over to dismount.

"Report to the battalion commander, the cavalry company is conducting equestrian formation training, please give instructions! Cavalry company commander Chen Xiao!" Chen Xiao raised his saber and gave Wang Chengzhu a cavalry salute, then lowered it diagonally.

Wang Chengzhu pointed to Chu Yunfei and Qian Bojun next to him and said: "These two are 358 Commander Chu and Battalion Commander Qian. They want to see your skills and show off your skills to the two officers.

Remember, if you let the chief laugh, you won’t have anything to eat at night!”

"yes!"

Chen Xiao responded, then got on his horse and galloped towards the training ground not far away, and then showed off his equestrian skills.

I saw him hiding in a stirrup, as if his whole body was pressed against the side of the saddle. Looking from the side, I could only see a war horse galloping, but no one could be seen.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiao stood up again and stood directly on the horse with his legs bent. No matter how fast the horse galloped, he remained as steady as a rock.

“Good horsemanship!”

Seeing this, Chu Yunfei couldn't help but praise him.

Wang Chengzhu smiled slightly. He knew that Chen Xiao's equestrian skills were much more than this. He was a three-star talent in equestrian skills!

Looking at the entire independent battalion, excluding Wang Chengzhu, there are only four three-star talents in total. Duan Peng, the captain of the special operations team, Wei Monk, the guard platoon leader, Zhao Hong, the instructor of the officer training class and the commander of the reserve company, and the fourth one is

It was Chen Xiao, the commander of the cavalry company.

As for four-star talent, there is currently none.

The rest are basically one-star and two-star talents...

The situation was exactly as Wang Chengzhu expected. Suddenly, Chen Xiao fell down from the side of the horse's back.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfei was suddenly startled, while Qian Bojun was ready to see the joke, with a faint smile on his face.

Both of them thought that Chen Xiao was definitely going to be sacked.

But just when Chen Xiao was about to hit the ground, his figure suddenly stopped. His body was at a 90-degree angle with the horse's body. From a distance, it looked like his whole body was growing sideways on the side of the horse.

A flash of cold light flashed between the lightning and flint, and the next moment, a thatched man a few meters away stopped him.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xiao turned over on his horse again, slashing left and right wherever he passed. The thatched men on both sides of the horse path all had their heads cut off and fell down like leeks with a knife.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfei reacted from the shock and couldn't help but applaud: "Okay! It turns out that a strong general has no weak soldiers!"

Qian Bojun next to him had a disappointed look on his face and thought to himself that he had been fooled by this idiot.

Then, Chen Xiao sheathed his sword, returned to the cavalry company, and took the rifle from a cavalryman.

As a qualified cavalryman, one must not only have superb equestrian skills and sword-fighting skills, but also must have superb marksmanship, especially in an independent battalion that advocates simple control of the enemy and will never use a knife if it can be used with a gun.

However, performing shooting on horseback is a difficult technical task, and it is much more difficult than lying on the ground.

Because shooting is about stability, not only the hands must be steady, but the ground under the feet must also be steady. Only in this way can the eyes, aim, and the target be reached.

But the cavalry running at high speed have neither. At this time, they cannot aim and shoot like infantry. They can only rely on feeling, gun sense, and the proficiency of man and horse as one.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!

The same principle applies to infantry shooting at moving targets. It is impossible to aim and lock on the target. At this time, it can only be done through feeling and prediction.

There are targets at the cavalry company's training ground. They use sun-dried earth blocks. You can see whether you hit or not at a glance. It's cheap and intuitive.

"drive!"

Chen Xiao roared angrily, then clamped the horse's belly hard, and the horse neighed, then spread its hooves and galloped forward.

Chen Xiao controlled the reins with his left hand, put the rifle butt against his left elbow, turned around and fired.

Just hearing the sound of a gunshot, the first clod of soil suddenly shattered, and the soil flew everywhere in an instant, which was a great visual impact...
