Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Knights of Skeleton Blood

"Well, you must act carefully, and do not let a third person know. Wang Feng admonished.

"Young Master, there is a person outside who claims to be the general of the Wu Sangui family who asks to see you, do you see it or not?" said the big tiger who had just entered the secret room.

"Brother Wu's general, where is he? Take me quickly!" When Wang Feng heard that it was Wu Sangui's person, he was so anxious that he hurriedly asked Dahu to take him to have a look.

Wang Feng didn't expect that when he returned to Anqing Mansion, Wu Sangui would send someone to contact him, and it had been several months since Shanhaiguan had been separated. Wu Sangui is the only brother Wang Feng recognized after coming to this world, so Wang Feng values this brotherhood very much. Originally, the two brothers were in the south of the sky and the other in the north of the earth. Wang Feng thought that it would be difficult to meet this righteous brother in this life, but he didn't expect that Wu Sangui would send someone to contact him so soon. How could this make Wang Feng unhappy!

"Young Master, he's in there. ”

"See Uncle Loyalty, the youngest is Wu Zhong, the general of Lord Wu Sangui, and today I specially came to see my uncle on the order of my lord. As soon as Wang Feng entered the hall, Wu Zhong, who had been waiting there for a long time, hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Hurry up, please get up, my eldest brother has been in good health recently, whether he is still smooth. As soon as Wang Feng saw Wu Sangui's general, he felt very cordial, and hurriedly asked about his eldest brother Wu Sangui's current situation.

"Uncle To's concern, my family is fine, this time I came to the adult to ask me to convey his thoughts about the uncle, and there is a letter here that my family specially entrusted me to pass on to the uncle. Saying that, Wu Zhong took out a letter from his broken hand and taught it to Wang Feng.

Wang Feng opened the letter, "Brother Wang Feng personally opened it, and it has been a few months since Shanhaiguan was separated, and the foolish brother is very worried. I heard that the virtuous brother assisted the saint to eradicate the treacherous and was deeply trusted by the emperor, the foolish brother is happy for you, and now my brother scored the general soldier of Anqing Town, and the foolish brother can't wait to fly to Anqing Mansion to congratulate the virtuous brother immediately. The previous time under the rule of Brother Yu, the sailors of Shanhaiguan intercepted a batch of Tartar ships, and there were 300 good horses imported from Tartars. Brother Fool knows that you love horses, and this time the special family will send Wu Zhong with this good horse, plus 100 Mongolian horses and 50,000 taels of silver, as a congratulatory gift to all the brothers in Shanhaiguan. I hope that Brother Xian will not refuse, Brother Yu is now eagerly looking forward to meeting Brother Xian as soon as possible, and he is thousands of miles away. May the virtuous brother cherish. Foolish brother Wu Sangui. ”

"This righteous brother is really..."Wang Feng didn't know what to say now, he was sincere to Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui also showed his true feelings to himself.

"By the way, where is the horse that my brother told you to bring?" As soon as Wang Feng finished sighing, he remembered the four hundred horses that Wu Sangui gave him. Like Wu Sangui said that Wang Feng is indeed a love of horses, the Ming Dynasty originally had scarce horses and did not have their own horse farm, so horses in the Ming Dynasty are more precious, especially after Mongolia surrendered to the Tartars, the normal trade between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia was interrupted, and the Mongolian horses could no longer be imported into the Ming Dynasty, which aggravated the shortage of horses in the Ming Dynasty, and now the horse source of the entire Ming domestic army is mainly based on Yunnan horses, and the number is small. Even Wang Feng's Anqing Town has only a thousand horses.

This greatly disappointed Wang Feng, who had always admired the mobility of the army, although the Dian horse had good endurance and was good at walking in the mountains, but the weight of the pack was too small to build a heavy cavalry. Since the Song Dynasty, the heavy armored iron cavalry has withdrawn from the stage of Chinese history and has never appeared in the establishment of the army again.

The reason why heavy armored cavalry has not become as popular in China as in the West is, on the one hand, because the march and war in China have always paid attention to the art of war, and there are too many ways to crack the heavy armored cavalry. On the other hand, the maintenance cost of heavy armored cavalry is too high, basically the soldiers who can become heavy armored cavalry are burly people, and the maintenance cost of each heavy armored cavalry is as much as ten taels of silver per month, which is more than five or six times that of ordinary light cavalry. The high maintenance cost discouraged the rulers from liking the heavy cavalry, which was one of the reasons why the heavy cavalry could not be implemented on a large scale in the army. And the last and most important reason is that all the horses in China are not suitable for building heavy cavalry, whether it is a Mongolian horse or a three-river horse, etc.

This made Wang Feng, who dreamed of having his own heavy armored cavalry regiment, sigh, without heavy armored cavalry, he would not be able to be in the glory of the heavy armored cavalry in the present year. In Wang Feng's eyes, the establishment of heavy armored cavalry has always been very necessary, whether it is to deal with the homeless or the Tartars, it is an indispensable treasure.

Over the years, the reason why the Ming Dynasty did not dare to engage in field battles with the Tartars, in addition to the Tartars' skillful archers and horses, and their good at riding and archery, the most important point was that he lacked a class that could restrain the Tartar cavalry in the real sense, and the heavy armored cavalry was undoubtedly the best candidate. As for dealing with the homeless heavy cavalry, it is a killing weapon, the homeless lack the necessary protective measures, the body is almost no armor or very thin, and there are few archers, as long as the heavy cavalry rushes into the rogue army, it will be a one-sided slaughter. Wang Feng wanted to have such a team to deal with Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others in the future, but he has been suffering from not having good load-bearing horses.

"Uncle, because there are too many horses, it is difficult to rush into the city at one time, so I parked a large number of horses outside the city, and this time I only brought one horse into the city. We heard from the captured Tartars that they were all selling blue and blue this time, and what was it called... What kind of horses!" Wu Zhong struggled to recall what those horses were called.

"Don hippos?"

"Yes, yes, or the uncle is educated, yes, they say that those horses are called Don hippos. Wu Zhong looked suddenly enlightened.

"Really, take me to see it. Wang Feng's voice trembled a little as he spoke, as if he didn't believe that he would see the Don hippopotamus.

As a later generation, Wang Feng knew the Don hippopotamus too well, and it became famous because of the famous Cossack cavalry.

"Young master, you see this is the Don hippopotamus. Wu Zhong pointed to a horse outside the courtyard and said.

"It's definitely a Don hippopotamus, definitely a Don hippopotamus. "Wang Feng is too familiar. The whole body is golden, and Tege is tall and strong, which is the most suitable as a mount for heavy armored cavalry!

"Haha. Wang Feng was so happy, he was not only happy to see the Don hippopotamus, he was happy that he had always dreamed of the heavy armored cavalry finally had been landed! The horses sent by Wu Sangui were too timely! His dream could be realized. Wang Feng had already thought of naming this cavalry - "Skeleton Blood Knights"

Wang Feng believes that with this Skeleton Blood Knights, he will definitely be able to level the universe, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong will be trampled under their feet one by one.
