The horse-made Lu was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt. ------Southern song dynasty. Xin Qiji's "Breaking the Array"

Back at Huangfu, Huang Gai came back with two shiny stirrups and found Chen Long to ask how to install them. Chen Long looked at the decent, and asked the servant to lead the horse and bring some sturdy leashes. With the saddle in place, Chen Long hung the stirrup on the belt, tied it tightly on both sides of the saddle, and hung down to the right length of the horse's belly. Seeing that everything was in order, Haha laughed triumphantly, picked up a spear, jumped on his horse, rushed to the stake of the dummy, stood up from the stirrups, and slashed the barrel of the gun with all his might. I only heard a bang, and the wooden stake was shattered, bursting the yellow cover next to him with a broken wooden slag.

Huang Gai was dumbfounded, swallowed his saliva with the wood slag, and said happily: "This stirrup has such a wonderful use, it can make the whole body of the person on the horse exert force, I'll try it." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Long down and turned over on his horse. Turning the horse's head around was a sprint, and with a bang, another wooden stake was smashed, and Chen Long was returned with a wooden slag.

Chen Long helplessly wiped the wooden slag on his face and said: "Yes, with this stirrup, you can free your thighs from the power of clamping the horse's belly, and use it to kick up your body, so as to exert your whole body strength when facing the enemy." In fact, stirrups also have a wonderful use for controlling horses... Seeing that Huang Gai had just gotten his beloved toy, it was as if he hadn't heard it, so he rolled his eyes and went back to the room to see the peach blossoms.

Chen Long returned to the room, took off his riding boots, found two pieces of hardwood, and asked Peach Blossom to find a way to sew them under the boots. Although the peach blossom was puzzled, she still obediently did it, and wasted the cow strength before it was firmly fixed. Chen Long found two thick nails, fastened them to the hardwood, and protruded the thick tail from behind his heels. After packing up and putting on a set of feet, stomping your feet, a most primitive spur boot is ready. Peach Blossom looked ugly, and found a few pieces of beast skin, wrapped the hardwood outside and sewed it tightly, only revealing two nail tails, this time it was beautiful and generous, Chen Long hugged Peach Blossom and kissed it, and said with a smile in his mouth: "The secret of this spur, Huang Gai Kid Hugh wants to know, hahaha." ”

Although the spur is small, it is a big killer that stimulates the horse to gallop and turn suddenly, of course Chen Long will not hide his secrets, but it is necessary to be proud in front of Huang Gai for a few days, Chen Long likes to see this kid's gluttony, Chen Long thought to himself, this is also a kind of psychopath, hehehe.

It was getting late, and it was dinner time, Chen Long changed into a pair of soft boots, and went to the Xuan Hall with Peach Blossom to eat, only to hear the sound of hooves in the courtyard in front of him, it turned out that Huang Gongfu This kid was still practicing stupidly. Chen Long pursed his lips and whistled, Huang Gai's horse was tossed for an hour, and he was probably tired, when he heard Chen Long's whistle, he ignored Huang Gai's command and went back to the horse circle to eat. Huang Gai jumped off the horse and threw the big gun, scolding: "What a broken horse! Rushing to Chen Long, his big mouth was almost to the root of his ears, and he shouted at a sky-shaking price: "It's so cool!" It's so cool! Big brother, I adore you fucking ah! Chen Long's eardrums trembled, and he punched him in the lower abdomen angrily, saying, "We are so close, what are you yelling." After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Huang Gai, who was hunched over, coughing there, and almost lost his breath.

At dinnertime, Huang Gai told Huang An about the stirrup, and Huang An was also amazed, and asked Chen Long how he came up with such a wonderful thing. Chen Long prevaricated, remembered one thing, and said to Huang An: "Father-in-law, I still have an empty master book here, you must come to help me." Huang An knew that Chen Long was short of people, so he agreed after a few words. Chen Long continued: "Father-in-law, how is your relationship with Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng? I have a new army here, there is a shortage of military generals, I want to ask my father-in-law to write a letter to Hansheng, if you can come to me to start a business together, I will give him a full teacher, and the official position is only lower than me and Liu Xian, as for the treatment, whatever he wants, how about it? Huang An agreed without even thinking about it, as the so-called jujube without jujube hit three poles, let alone just writing a letter. Chen Long said with a shy face: "If he can bring some more generals over and reuse them together, hehe." Huang An and Huang Gai were dumbfounded, thinking that this Wenlong was really thick-skinned, and they wanted to bring Hansheng's old bottom over with a brush.

Huang Gai finished dinner and went to pack up his new toys. Chen Long was thinking about recruiting troops and looking for generals, his head was getting bigger and bigger, and he fell asleep early. When I woke up, I really dreamed of Zhang Ning by the peony bush again, that pure and beautiful appearance, and thought to myself, why didn't Ma Yuanyi, the old ghost, send someone to report the news? Shaking his head, it's only been a few days apart, how can it be so fast. Peach Blossom saw him get up, and also got up to serve him and dress, and the two packed up and went to the Xuan Hall for breakfast, and saw Huang Gai riding a horse there for morning exercises. The horse suddenly burst out of white gas, probably complaining to Long Chen that Huang Gai didn't let it rest well. Huang Gai saw Chen Long, turned over and dismounted, and said, "Big brother, I've prepared everything for you." Saying that, he pulled over a horse, and sure enough, the stirrups were properly tied, and Chen Long couldn't help but praise Huang Gai a few words, and didn't mention it for breakfast together.

Today is an important day for the school to order troops, and several important generals came to the gate of the Huangfu early to wait for Chen Long. Chen Long, Huang Gai, and Huang An led the horses out, and saw that even Liu Min and Yang Huai were coming, and hurriedly greeted them one by one. The generals put their right hands straight in front of their foreheads, it was the military salute that Chen Long taught them, Chen Long had finished returning the salute, he was in a good mood, patted Liu Min's broad shoulders and said: "General Liu, you are temporarily serving as the deputy division commander in Liu Xian's fourth division, training shield and sword soldiers." Liu Xian is still responsible for internal affairs, there are too many things, you have to worry more about the Fourth Division, and then expand the army in the future, and then be promoted according to military merits. Liu Min was overjoyed and thanked him, knowing that Chen Long was afraid that he would embarrass the deputy general under Liu Xian, Huang Gai and Liu Yong, so he deliberately put it under Liu Xian, and thanked Chen Long for his virtue. Chen Long looked at Yang Huai again, Yang Huai's eyes flickered a little, obviously afraid that he would not be trusted by everyone. Long Chen smiled slightly and said, "Gang Leader Yang, I want you to come forward and form my own Lingling Water Master, are you willing?" Yang Huai didn't expect Chen Long to trust him so much, so he was grateful for a while, and he waved his hand and said: "Yang Huai dares not to serve his life!" Chen Long laughed and said, "In this case, I will appoint you as the deputy governor of the navy, and prepare for the establishment from now on." In addition, you can continue to manage the affairs of the gang and report to Liu Xian if you have something. As he spoke, he picked up Yang Huai and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

Everyone followed Chen Long's horse, spread the horse's hooves after leaving the city, and galloped all the way to the school grounds. Along the way, Huang Gai triumphantly controlled the horse to sway from side to side, and everyone somehow let him, thinking that Huang Gai had drunk a few cups in the morning, where did he know that Huang Gai was showing off his new stirrups.

The school field has long been unfurled, and the swords and guns are bright, but in Chen Long's opinion, it is uneven and demoralized. Chen Long dismounted and stood on the high platform at the edge of the school field, next to Liu Xianyu reported: "Big brother, the soldiers and horses of several large battalions here have arrived, and now there is a shortage of horses, there are only 3,000 fully equipped cavalry, and there are more than 30,000 infantry. Chen Long nodded, indicating that he understood. After getting off the high platform and reaching the middle of the team, I saw the old and the small, even the armor was in tatters, Chen Long walked in front of a white-bearded old man, and saw him holding a gun, and he didn't know whether he was holding the gun or the gun was supporting him. Seeing that this old guy was shaky, Chen Long frowned and walked up to the veteran and asked, "Old man, which division are you from?" The veteran stood up and replied, "I am from the third division, a gunner." Chen Long said: "You stab me and try it." When the old man heard this, he wasted a long time before he raised the gun, and before he could exert his strength, he was already out of breath and said: "Old man, I will only feed pigs." The soldiers next to him laughed, and the old man smiled embarrassedly, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth and saying, "Eat with a mouthful of food... Liu Yong, the commander of the Third Division, was embarrassed and hurriedly said to Chen Long: "This is a logistics soldier, a logistics soldier." ”

Chen Long turned around a long time, and had a general impression of this group of bear soldiers, thinking that he could only streamline them first and then recruit them. He said to several division commanders: "A few generals, you should first send away the old, young, sick and disabled, you should farm the land, feed the pigs and feed the pigs, and let the regiment commanders in charge of logistics arrange it and then report to me." In addition, divide your four divisions into four phalanxes and concentrate them on the west side of the school field, and expose an open space on the high platform on the east side of the school field. Several division commanders went down one after another, and after a while, I saw a large number of adjutant generals gathered a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled, and pulled them back to the camp.

The four divisions were divided into camps, and the division commanders each stood at the front of the queue, and it was really much neater. Chen Long asked a few division commanders, there are about 6,000 cavalry divisions at present, and half of them have no war horses; There are more than 5,000 archers in the division, more than 9,000 in the spear division, and more than 8,000 in the sword division, which together means that the number of troops capable of fighting is less than 30,000. Chen Long stood on the high platform, and several division commanders were lined up left and right, and pride surged in his chest. These soldiers are the team that started by themselves, why care about his current combat effectiveness, as long as he trains diligently, who knows if he can train an elite soldier?

In ancient times, there was no megaphone, so Chen Long used his internal strength and shouted loudly: "I am the new Taishou Chen Long Chen Wenlong." Those who are here today are all my Lingling soldiers, defending your hometown, defending the Xiangjiang River, and protecting the weak is your responsibility, and it is also my responsibility! From today onwards, our army will be officially renamed the Qinglong Army, and I believe that you will become a powerful soldier in the future when the time comes! Said Bi Zhenarm shouted: "The Blue Dragon Army will win!" The Blue Dragon Army will win! The generals behind were also enthusiastic, raising their arms and roaring together, the soldiers below were sparse at first, and gradually the soldiers behind also raised their swords and roared: "Victory!" Win! Until the hoarseness was exhausted, and the majestic roar reached into the sky.

Seeing that the effect was good, Chen Long got off the high platform and asked Huang Gai to erect five arrow targets in the open space. This is a scheduled program, let the soldiers see their martial arts today, and swear to die. Chen Long first unfolded the Qinglong banner in Huang Gai's hand, jumped up to a height of 30 meters, rose to the top of the pole like a cannon, and tore off the big flag on the central flagpole, the Qinglong flag fluttered slowly, and a green dragon with teeth and claws immediately came alive. Seeing that Long Chen was so peerless, the Qinglong sergeants cheered one after another, and the voices of victory rose again.

Chen Long jumped down, stepped on the war horse, and was about to perform archery, when he suddenly saw a big dust in the east, and a peripheral junior general hurried over, and saluted: "Commander, the Changsha rescue army is led by General Huang Zhong, and it has arrived outside the school field. ”

It turned out that when the Yellow Turban attacked the city, Liu Xian had already sent people to Xiangyang, Changsha and Guiyang to ask for help. Xiangyang was too busy to take care of itself, and did not send troops for a long time, and Guiyang had few soldiers and did not send troops to help at all. Only Huang Hansheng of Changsha, when he heard that Lingling was urgent, rushed with his headquarters. On the way, I heard that the siege of Lingling had been lifted, so I asked the deputy general to take people back to Changsha, and I brought more than 100 personal soldiers to Lingling to see old friends, and I happened to meet Chen Long here to order troops.

Chen Long was overjoyed, and hurriedly took several division commanders on the horse to greet him. Walking out of the school field, I saw more than 100 cavalry neatly, the first one, about less than forty years old, wearing a thin armor, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, black hair and chest, not angry and self-threatening, with a sword at the waist and an iron bow on his back. When Huang An saw it, he rode over early, smiled happily, and shouted: "Brother Hansheng, you are really here!" When he saw Huang An, he was also overjoyed, dismounted and took off his helmet, and shook hands with Huang An. Chen Long saw that he was slightly white-headed, and remembered the white-haired old general with world-class martial arts described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the magic arrow almost killed Guan Yu, and Dingjun Mountain slashed Xiahou Yuan to death, turned over and dismounted, and infinite yearning rose in his heart.

Huang An took Huang Zhong's hand and introduced it to Chen Long, and Huang Gai saluted respectfully: "Uncle Shi." Huang Zhong said hello, looked at Chen Long and saluted, "You are Wenlong Taishou?" Chen Long was overjoyed, and said politely: "I heard my father-in-law say that Uncle Shi's martial arts are unparalleled, and the magic arrow pierces the clouds, and I can see it today, and sure enough, the hero, Wenlong is really fortunate in three lives." Huang Zhong said: "It's too polite, I'm just a little military attaché, how can you call me Uncle Shi and call me Han Shengben." Chen Long hurriedly said: "Then you only call me Wenlong, and I will call you Hansheng." The generals behind him laughed.

Everyone talked happily, and Huang Zhong asked: "Wenlong, I heard that you have formed a new army called Qinglong, can you take me to visit?" Chen Long was overjoyed and said, "I was about to be instructed by Hansheng." As he spoke, he asked his subordinates to beckon Huang Gai's soldiers to rest, and took Huang Zhong's hand. When Huang Zhong saw Chen Long passing by, all the soldiers cheered and couldn't help nodding slightly. When I looked up and saw the Qinglong banner flying high, and a few arrow targets in the field, I couldn't help asking: "Wenlong, are you trying to shoot arrows?" Later, Huang Gai said: "Uncle Shi, don't you know, on the day when the Yellow Turban attacked the city, Chen Taishou shot an arrow through the head of the thief from a hundred zhang away, and shocked the Yellow Turban." When Huang Zhong heard this, he looked at Long Chen in surprise, and secretly had the intention of competing in his heart. Chen Long looked at Huang Zhong with half a doubt, and said with a smile: "Hansheng, I know that you are good at shooting fast arrows, since you have come to the school today, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, how about you and I try a bow and arrow?" ”

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but shout loudly, Huang Zhong was itchy for a while, and nodded in agreement. Liu Xian had already prepared the ten-stone strong bow for Chen Long, and Chen Long copied it, carried the quiver, and shouted: "The kid is ugly first!" Hit the horse until it was a hundred feet away from the arrow target, the spur lightly knocked the horse's belly, the horse man stood up, Chen Long looked back at the moon, the strong arrow swished out of the string, and flew into the empty field like lightning, and exploded an arrow target into pieces with a bang.
