The mighty horse team passed slowly.

Almost all the horses did not start to gallop, and the twenty-odd mile road was an endurance race, and the horsepower should be slowly accumulated in the early stage, and now was not the time to sprint.

Zhang Shao's right guard was still at the forefront, and dozens of people ran easily.

All the way out of Chang'an City.

Further ahead is the official road, led by Zhang Shao, who began to let the horses jog.

The horse that sat down raised its four hooves, Zhang Shao knew the terrain well, at this time he ran first, and the flying horses in the rear team ran one after another.

Zhang Shao did not forget to advise: "Everyone listens to orders, jogs, and follows the general closely." ”

But at this moment...... Suddenly...... A group of centaurs began to cross the ......

But seeing that Su Lie was leading people, it was Pegasus that began to gallop wildly, and the fifty people who were hulala crossed over from the right Xiaowei one after another.

When Su Lie crossed Zhang Shao, he still shouted: "You run slowly, Erpigou will go first." ”

Da Da Da ...... Da Da Da ......

The Erpigou hussar camp has passed by in a flash.

When Zhang Shao saw it, a smile appeared on his face, watching this group of people and horses disappear, and he and the other teams rode away, but they still kept jogging.

In his opinion...... The Erpigou Hussars were indeed a group of fools who were not familiar with war horses.

More than 20 miles of land is extremely tested horsepower and human physical strength, especially in the case of long-distance and complex terrain, therefore...... After all, you have to have shrewd calculations to keep everyone in the best condition, as if the riding method that has always maintained a wild run is only available in film and television dramas in later generations.

The official road of the Tang Dynasty was originally made of rammed earth, and there were many gravels on the road, which was not conducive to the galloping of war horses.

As for this hussar battalion, it is simply insane.

They actually sprinted at the beginning, and when the time came...... Let's see how they end.

Therefore, a trace of ridicule flashed on Zhang Shao's lips, and he still calmly ordered the horse to run slowly, and instructed the rider behind him: "Don't pay attention to them, they all follow the general closely." ”

"No."

…………

What Zhang Shao didn't know was that the flying cavalry battalion led by Su Lie was still running wildly, and the four hooves of the war horse trampled fiercely on the rammed earth official road, splashing countless rubble.

These gravels are of different sizes, some are like nails, the war horse gallops wildly, the power of the war horse and the rider are combined, and then it falls to the ground fiercely, only pressing on the front hooves and hind hooves, which is equivalent to the force of hundreds of catties to crush the gravel on the ground, at this time...... Gravel flew up.

But Su Lie was still walking on the ground, he didn't care, and the riders behind him were also very relaxed.

Months of training were enough for them to cope with the situation.

You know, they are in the racecourse, but they run all day, and almost all of them are on horseback, even if they are off the horse, there are other physical exercises.

These war horses...... Actually, it's pretty much the same.

Horses are all good horses, carefully selected from the Turkic horses, which can be described as the best of the best.

The horses are bred every day with the best concentrate to keep them full of strength at all times.

Horses are the same as people, and if most of the time, you keep them in a pen or feed them that doesn't keep them adequately nutritious, then ...... Although it is getting more and more expensive, it has little physical strength and stamina anymore.

And these war horses, but they accompany their masters to practice every day, and they have long been accustomed to being ridden on their horses, and they don't feel that they have much weight.

At this time, running all the way seems to be quite easy, and the long-term physical training has already made them accustomed to it.

The Chen family improved the stirrup and saddle, of course, this design is not only to make the cavalry on top more comfortable, Chen Zhengtai's design concept is to ensure the comfort of the rider, the saddle also needs to consider the comfort of the horse.

As a matter of fact...... The ancients did not realize the comfort of the saddle for the war horse, anyway, they got on it and rode it.

However, Chen Zhengtai believes that there is a symbiotic relationship between man and horse in the process of riding, and only when the horse is comfortable can the horsepower be better exerted.

Thereupon...... Craftsmen were gathered to study the engineering of the horse, and how to make sure that the horse would not feel uncomfortable after wearing the saddle of the high bridge.

Of course...... At this time, the biggest credit is still the horseshoe.

This horseshoe is equivalent to putting two pairs of shoes on the horse.

Just like letting ordinary people run barefoot on a gravel road, no matter how good your feet are, it is difficult to run fast, and it is easy to cut your feet in the process of running.

And the horse is the same, the war horse on the grassland began to gallop, itself because the ground of the grassland is relatively soft, and the gravel is small, which can well protect the four hooves of the war horse, but even so, there are still many desert Hu people who dare not gallop at will to protect the war horse. But now it's different, with the 'shoes' on, the war horse has almost no scruples.

More than 50 people, all the way to the gallop, as if walking on the ground across the official road, further on, the road is more difficult, is a muddy mudflat.

Over here...... It is still the cavalry who dare not run wild at will, because the most test of such a ground is the rider on the horse, and the horse that sits down gallops wildly, it will be very bumpy, and the rider on the horse needs to be tense all over, and if he is not careful, he may fall off the horse.

When Wang Jiulang was on the official road, he didn't feel anything, but as soon as he arrived here, he felt that the bumps began to become violent, he felt as if he was in mid-air, high and low, and his body began to completely disobey his own call.

He tried hard to stabilize his mind, gritted his teeth, and according to Su Lie's teachings, his body tensed, bowed slightly, and tried not to raise his head above the head raised by the war horse, and his body rose and fell rhythmically with the ups and downs of the war horse.

In fact, he had encountered this situation many times, when he was practicing in the racecourse, in the first month, he had to fall off his horse almost every time, and even now, he was still the worst existence in the riding camp, but he was used to dealing with such a scene.

"Go on, rush over!" Su Lie shouted again.

Dadada......"

Along the way, the war horse still did not stall.

This war horse, which has long been accustomed to galloping every day, seems to be able to burst out with extraordinary power at any time.

Wang Jiulang clamped the saddle, he didn't think it was too difficult, the only thing that made him worry was that he was afraid that he would fall behind, as for the bumps on the horse, he was actually used to it.

More than 50 people roared by, and continued to run towards Erpigou, without the slightest stop in between.

…………

Zhang Shao's right guard is not slow, after all, compared to the other guards, it is still one position ahead.

Out of the city, when he arrived at the official road, he was extra careful, and only allowed the riders behind him to jog, after all...... There is too much gravel on the ground, which can easily cause the horse to stumble.

And if one horse stumbles, the rider on the horse has to ride with the others, which increases the burden.

Such a path...... The Erpigou hussars galloping in front must have stumbled.

Zhang Shao couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought about the group of Erpigou Hussars who had not been established long ago and would only run stupidly.

When the time comes...... I'm afraid that there will be a good show to watch, like their unscrupulous galloping, on the one hand, on the way back, there is not enough horsepower and physical strength to run fast, on the other hand, it is easy to cause the war horse to be injured, according to the rules, once the war horse stumbles, the damage to the entire cavalry team is great, after all, the rules of the game, only the whole team of people and horses return, is considered a result.

He looked at the hoof prints on the ground, which were obviously left by the hussars in front, Zhang Shao had seen these horseshoe prints, and he knew that the people of Erpigou were letting the war horses run wild again.

He continued to move forward with the mood of watching the play, but unbelievably this way passed...... He was increasingly annoyed...... Why didn't you see a stumbling horse along the way?

This is so unusual, it is a bit unreasonable to run the way they do, without abandoning three or four horses.

Zhang Shao was also a person who led the cavalry army across the battlefield at the beginning, and he knew very well that if he carried out a run, there were often 70% of the 1,000 cavalry, and 700 people could not fall behind or stumble, which was already remarkable, and a person like Erpigou was simply unheard of.

"This group of guys who have taken the wrong medicine, everyone listens to the order, jogs, carefully step, don't let the war horse stumble, don't be in a hurry, we have maintained the lead in each team, as for the people of Erpigou, don't pay attention to them, they can't last long with this way of running."

Calmly issued one order after another, and all the riders obeyed the orders and said yes one after another.

It's just that...... Even though Zhang Shao was experienced, careful everywhere, and kept telling him to ride from the door, he still miscalculated.

A horse riding suddenly let out a scream, and its front hooves immediately knelt down, and the rider on the horse rolled straight down, and then fell to the ground fiercely.

Zhang Shao's face sank.

The rider was obviously a little behind, and in order to catch up with the front team, all ran a little faster.

He furrowed his brows as he commanded, "The others keep going." ”

After that, he turned over and dismounted directly, ignoring the rider first, but looking at the fallen war horse.

Once the horse fell, it could never get back up, and it was not uncommon for its left front hoof to be cut by a blade-like gravel, and blood was pouring out.

He looked at the horse sympathetically and sighed, now he had to abandon it on the side of the road.

As for the rider who landed, this rider fell and broke his head, but he glanced at Zhang Shao timidly, and said tremblingly: "Captain, humble...... Humble death. ”

Zhang Shao was in a bad mood and roared at him: "What did Ben General say, don't run in a hurry, you have been riding a horse for so many years, don't you even know this common sense?" After returning to the camp, I will come to dispose of you, and now immediately get on the general's horse and ride with the general. ”

"No."
