Chapter 42: The Pig Cavalry Comes Out, and the Winter Wheat is Harvested
This training lasted for half a month, and finally Li Yan selected three of the nine people who followed him as scouts.
Zhang Dazhu unfortunately failed, he was still responsible for serving as Li Yan's personal guard, and the three people who were selected were Ge Dahai, Zhang Qiang, and Zhou Cheng.
In the past half a month, they have almost practiced a series of protective actions into instinctive reactions, and Li Yan believes that at least they should not fall to their deaths when they are racing pigs......
In this way, the pig cavalry scout team composed of three people was formed, and Li Yan also extracted their respective "three generations of pigs" for them after accumulating enough experience
Unlike Minecraft, these three generations of pigs do not need carrots to guide them, but only need to be saddled and reined.
After proposing it, Li Yan himself also tried it at the time of each person, and the limit speed of these three generations of pigs can indeed reach 100 kilometers per hour.
But that's just the limit speed, if you continue to soar pigs, three generations of pigs will not be able to bear it.
According to Li Yan's estimates, the speed at which the three generations of pigs can carry people for a long time and maintain them should only be between 50 and 60, which is still more than the limit speed of horseback riding.
In other words, Ge Dahai's three-person pig cavalry scout team can fly Turkic kites on the grassland at will, even if they are accidentally touched by a place, they can instantly speed up and throw each other away.
This is bound to be the strongest scout team in the world! Not one of them!
Now, Ge Dahai and the others have also tried the speed of three generations of pigs under Li Yan's compulsion, but they are still a little resistant.
"Boss, can you change your mount?"
"That's it, boss, this ride is too ugly."
"Boss ......"
The three of them looked at Li Yan blankly, hoping to change to a more normal mount.
"What are you riding, I'll give you a new name, from today onwards you are the Fengzhou Army Pig Cavalry Scout, you must be good and the mount to cultivate feelings and tacit understanding, I hope that in the future, the grassland aliens will be frightened when they hear the three words of the pig cavalry!"
Li Yan did not waver in the slightest, he can't afford to feed a creature like a horse at all now, take gold grains to feed, feed it once is a strike, who can afford it!
Besides, it's not that this pig can't be ridden, he has already tested it, these three generations of pigs have much better physical strength than horses, and even far more resistant to cold than horses, this is simply the strongest mount for winter scout combat.
Ge Dahai and the three of them are not so easy to be fooled, although these three pigs are running fast, how do you look at it...... Foolish!
And these three pigs are still white and pure, and the more you look at them, the more they look like they are used for eating.
Looking at the gazes of the three of them, Li Yan seemed to understand their thoughts, so he added directly.
"Don't worry, Ben has already ordered the blacksmith to make iron armor for your mounts, and they are harder to kill than horses on the battlefield!"
Li Yan only thought that Ge Dahai and the three of them were worried about the survival of pigs on the battlefield, so he comforted and said.
Now that the iron armor for the pig has been almost built, Li Yan believes that after the pig is clothed in armor, it will not look much worse than the war horse.
"Okay......"
Ge Dahai and the three seemed to have finally accepted their fate, so they had to lead their own pigs to training.
Although they have now learned the skills of saving their lives, they have not yet learned to ride pigs, and they still need time to become familiar with the method of controlling pigs, and they need time to overcome the obstacles in their hearts.
The above scene happened in the garrison of Wujia Village, Li Yan did not spread the news of the pig cavalry to the whole army, and now only the garrisons in a few villages outside the city know about the existence of the pig cavalry.
At Li Yan's request, the existence of the pig cavalry will also become a big secret, waiting for the real war to come and then show the real role of the pig cavalry.
After negotiating with Ge Dahai and others, Li Yan went to meet the village chief of Wujia Village.
Previously, Li Yanke informed Wujia Village of the coordinates of a batch of crops such as winter wheat, and according to the time estimate, it is almost time to harvest the first crop.
"The old man has seen General Li."
The old village chief Wu San saw Li Yan and hurriedly saluted, their whole village was saved by Li Yan, and in the face of the current Fengzhou guard general and the benefactor of their whole village, Wu San's attitude was very respectful.
"Village Chief Wu, I'm here to inquire about the winter wheat." Li Yan gets straight to the point and gets straight to the point.
"General Li, you are really the great benefactor of our whole village!"
"This winter wheat is about to mature in the next few days, according to old estimates, this winter wheat yield per mu is six or seven hundred catties, more than our spring harvest!"
"Also, Lao Yu also found a lot of winter vegetables near the winter wheat, and when the seeds are harvested this year, we will have vegetables to eat in winter in the future!"
As soon as he heard Li Yan mention winter wheat, the old village chief Wu San suddenly became excited.
The reality is not different from what Li Yan expected, the winter wheat is indeed about to ripen, and the seedlings such as spinach and winter peas that Li Yan hid at the beginning were also successfully discovered by Wujia Village, and now they are all planted, just waiting for the harvest to come.
"Yes, I will ask Your Majesty for your Wujia Village, winter wheat and those vegetables are beneficial to Datang, Your Majesty will definitely reward you."
The corners of Li Yan's mouth couldn't help but smile a little, his plan was quite successful, this time the credit for the winter wheat could be smoothly pushed to the people of Wujia Village, so the probability of him being suspected would be much smaller.
You must know that Li Yan left a lot of vegetable seedlings for the people of Wujia Village before, so that he will not lack green food in this winter, and he can better balance the nutrients needed by the body.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Yan can get several items to improve his food this time, and his life will be much better.
"I can't help it, General Li, I found that these are all your credits, how can they be counted on our bodies......
When the old village chief Wu San heard that Li Yan was going to repay them, he was immediately not calm.
In his opinion, they are just planting crops for Li Yan, a benefactor, how can they share the credit of Li Yan, which is a great disrespect to the benefactor.
"It's okay, you have a meritorious planting, and Your Majesty will make a decision."
Li Yan didn't want to take this credit, he had enough things from "My World", he just wanted to keep a low profile in the court, and he didn't want to be suspected.
"This ......"
The old village chief Wu San didn't know what to say, he only felt that Wujia Village owed Li Yan more.
"General Li, with such a great grace, my Wujia Village will inevitably ......"
Wu San began to talk endlessly, almost about to be a cow and a horse for Li Yan for generations.
"Go get busy, Ben will go back to the city and have important business."
In the end, Li Yan still asked Wu San for his gushing gratitude under the pretext of leaving.
Now it seems that everything is ready, just waiting for the real snow disaster to come, waiting for the Turks to take the initiative to start this winter war.
