Chapter 351: I Didn't Even Know I Was a Heavy Cavalry

In the blink of an eye, the middle of summer has passed, and it has come to the busiest autumn of the year on the grassland.

A year ago, Lu Jia sent an envoy to Yue's through this.

A year later, 50,000 elite Han troops and 200,000 war horses were already ready here.

This group of Han soldiers has been stationed here for more than half a year, and they have gradually adapted to the environment here.

In addition, they also need to take care of their war horses every day.

From the beginning, each person was assigned one war horse, then two for each person in the summer, and then three for each person before the autumn.

Gao Shu was just an ordinary soldier, and after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the life of the family gradually improved.

People don't go hungry, so they start thinking about how to make life better.

Going to work is naturally a way, but it is a way to see the future.

Like these comrades-in-arms beside him, Gao Shu chose to join the army.

It happened that the county was recruiting, and Gao Shu immediately gathered a few friends to sign up.

As a result, two of the five people were selected, and the other two were judged to have an unstable center of gravity and a slightly poor sense of balance, so they were not recruited for the time being.

These rejected projects have all passed the assessment.

But in the end, he was not selected, and the reason for the rejection was that his height exceeded the upper limit required by the military department.

This reason made Gao Shu feel unbelievable, when did recruiting not pick tall people first?

When did growing too tall become an obstacle to becoming a soldier?

But his arms couldn't reach his thighs, and Takaki could only go home depressed with the other two.

However, just a few years ago, there was news in the county that this time a group of soldiers with height requirements would be recruited.

Gao Shu went to sign up again, and the result was naturally wishy-washy.

Taka tree was chosen smoothly.

The tall man of 1.8 meters finally made him raise his eyebrows at this moment.

However, after assembling, Takaki found out that the place he came from was the same place as the other two friends, but the three of them were assigned to different camps.

The biggest difference is the food.

My friend's side has three meals a day, the standard is three stone of grain per person per month, plus two pieces of bacon, if the meat is thinly cut, then a piece of bacon can be opened at each meal.

On the side of Gao Shu, life is more comfortable.

The food standard of three stones per month remains the same, and the standard of two pieces of bacon remains the same.

But every three days, the meat can be opened again, and every three days in the camp a batch of sheep will be killed, the bones will be boiled into soup, and the meat will be eaten, basically each time everyone can get about half a catty of meat.

And this led to another embarrassing situation, after eating half a catty of meat, the ration consumption of the day was greatly reduced, resulting in the phenomenon of not being able to eat.

Later, the battalion came up with a solution.

Sheep are killed every day, and the number of sheep killed every three days is divided into three parts.

This allows the soldiers to eat meat every day without wasting rations.

Now in this small day, even if someone is driving Gao Shu away, he is reluctant to leave.

What's wrong with being tired from training on weekdays?

Gao Shu can pat his chest and say that before he came to this pass to be a soldier, he had never eaten so much and ate so well.

And now, he can eat enough every day, he can eat a full meal, and he can eat well.

No, when I came, he was 1.8 meters tall and weighed only 120 pounds, according to this height, it can basically be said that he is thin and weak.

What now?

Gao Shu's weight has increased to one hundred and fifty pounds, and there is no fat on his stomach, and the daily heavy training has made his excess calories well consumed, and the fat has been exercised into muscles over time.

Of course, the high food is only one of them, and even the war horses, they are also allocated five, two more than the others.

"Brother Shu, is there still no meat?"

"Eating bacon all day long, a bird is about to fade out of my mouth......"

Looking at Gao Lin and the two brothers of Gao Shan, Gao Shu was a little helpless.

The three of them are from the same village, and the first to be recruited are the two of them.

When I came here, I found that their camp was not far away.

For half a year, the two sides often camped together.

So they are also very familiar with their respective military camps, and they have long been familiar with the personnel and everything.

Of course, the Han army was allowed to camp in tandem, but it was only allowed for half an hour a day.

"No ......" Gao Shu just wanted to shake his head, when a violent roar came from behind him.

"You two rabbit cubs are here again?"

"Tun...... Tun Chief, we're here to talk......" Gao Lin was a little frightened, and subconsciously explained.

"Right...... It's here to speak......" Takayama echoed.

"Talk? Okay, you say! Tun Chang Chen Li directly pulled the bucket next to Gao Shu, and he was not idle, so he sat on it, staring at the two rabbit cubs with his eyes.

"That...... Chief, you don't dare to say anything when you look at us like this! Gao Lin wanted to cry and looked at Chen Li without tears.

"Don't you dare to say it? Still don't dare to say it? Chen Li looked at the two of them with a grim face.

"What's the difference?" Gao Lin subconsciously asked, isn't it different if the two dare not say?

"What do you say?" Chen Li glared at these two goods fiercely, and then exhaled angrily: "Lao Tzu guards day and night, but he can't prevent you two rabbit cubs, right?" If you dare to ask Gao Shu for meat again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will make trouble and tell you two to get out? Damn, how much trouble did you cause to our camp last time, you two didn't have a little pressure in your hearts, did you? ”

Speaking of what happened last time, the two brothers Gao Lin and Gao Shan couldn't help blushing, and said embarrassedly: "Last time, it wasn't just the two of us, so many people......"

"Dare to say? Get out, let Lao Tzu see the two of you again, Lao Tzu has to go to your camp to have a good fight with your tun chief! Chen Li scolded angrily.

Last time, the matter was very simple, because of the arrangement of their battalion, the rations could not be eaten.

Then the fellow villagers of the other battalions heard the wind and took the opportunity to hit the autumn wind fiercely.

Han Xin naturally wouldn't pay attention to such a big thing, so he said lightly, since you don't want to eat, then don't eat it, since you still have surplus food for others, it means that you are physically strong, so let's practice.

So, stop the meat and practice.

For a month in a row, they were miserable.

After returning to normal, I thought of the method of killing the sheep once a day, and then I ate it on the spot.

If you can't finish eating, keep it all together, and no one will want to take it away.

After a while, everyone else was honest, but these two goods still came and went very frequently.

So much so that every time they came, Chen Li had to come and watch it in person, for fear that Gao Shu would be fooled into secretly hiding meat for these two to eat.

"Tun Chang...... We ......"

'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’

Before Gao Lin could finish his sentence, a drum beat came from the camp.

Hearing the sound of drums, Gao Shu hurriedly tied up his horse.

Chen Li, who was sitting on the bucket, also quickly stood up, and before leaving, he didn't forget to scold the two: "Get out, maybe you will gather later!" ”

Drums are sounded in the camp, which means assembly.

50,000 men were stationed together in a large camp.

This large camp is divided into eleven areas, a camp of 5,000 people, located in the center, is the main general Han Xin and his 2,000 personal soldiers, and is also the location of the Chinese army of this large battalion.

And in every camp, there is also a small camp.

The small battalion was the camp of the 500 heavy cavalry belonging to the 5,000 men.

Although Han Xin chose soldiers of height to serve as heavy cavalry, these people also had empty skeletons, and did not have the weight and strength they wanted to match.

So in the past six months, Han Xin has begged for sheep again and again like the Yueshi family, or simply changed it.

In Han Xin's words, it is to smash the pot and sell iron, and it is necessary to raise the 5,000 heavy cavalry first.

Otherwise, they will be tired before they fight on the battlefield, why do Lao Tzu give them such a high configuration?

It's better to recruit ordinary soldiers directly, not to mention saving meat, one person can also save two war horses.

And in this battalion, there is a lot of daily training.

But there has not been a real outing training, for the heavy cavalry, at most it is to learn to ride a horse or something in the camp horse farm, and then the rest of the time is either used for daily physical combat training, or to stay with the war horse to cultivate feelings.

At the beginning, there was no requirement, just need to feed on time, and when it comes to summer, it is required to chat with the war horse for an hour every day, no matter what you talk about, even if it is an awkward chat, even if you are in a daze, you have to stay in front of it for an hour.

And now, it is required to sleep with his main war horse every day.

Fortunately, after more than half a year of emotional cultivation, the step-by-step method has also made the war horse and the soldier more and more familiar with each other, even if they sleep together, there will not be any big problems.

But the most puzzling thing is that since it is a cavalry unit, why has it been more than half a year, and it has not focused on training horsemanship?

For these 50,000 soldiers, it is destined to be a puzzle that cannot be fated by his sister.
