Raise your head to catch the flying horse, and attach yourself to scatter the horse's hooves. Swift than the ape, brave like a leopard. ----- Cao Zhi "White Horse Chapter"

In the afternoon, the sun was warm and bright, and Chen Long, Huang Gai, and Pan Jun took their own soldiers and rode straight to the cavalry division camp on a plain outside the east gate of the city. The terrain here is relatively open and flat, suitable for the running and training of horses, and it is the horse army training center surveyed by Huang Gai himself. Chen Long drove the flying dragon horse, spread the horse's hooves all the way and galloped to his heart's content, only to feel that the shadows of the trees around him moved back like phantoms, and the wind in his ears sounded like a light whistle, but the wide back of the flying dragon was extremely stable, and he couldn't help but love the flying dragon even more.

Feilong Horse left Huang Gai and Pan Jun far behind, and suddenly the field of vision in front of him was wide, some horses in the large paddock were peacefully gnawing on the grass on the ground, and some horses were chasing each other and playing, so a harmonious and natural horse farm scenery. Chen Long slowed down his speed and slowly admired the beautiful picture of the horse frolicking in the grass, and the flying dragon sneezed restlessly, obviously expressing his dissatisfaction with not letting it run.

Huang Gai and Pan Jun also rode a newly purchased Xiongnu horse, but it took half a day to catch up, and it was obvious that the horse's speed was far from that of Huang Fei. Huang Gai walked to Chen Long's side, panting and said: "The enclosure covers an area of more than 200 acres, extending to the bottom of the hill over there, which was originally a forest, I asked the sergeants to cut it down, one is to make room for the field, and the other is to use the cut down trees to build hundreds of horse pens." ”

Chen Long nodded in approval, the horse army in this era is equivalent to the tank army of later generations, and the mixed use of light and heavy cavalry has added a lot of horse combat tactics, which is an extreme weapon to compete for the world, so Chen Long attaches so much importance to the horse army and appoints Huang Gai to the important task of the commander of the horse army, and now it seems that Huang Gai should be quite competent.

The barracks were in the distance, and teams of horses could already be seen practicing on the playground. Chen Long was full of interest, pointed to the formation of the drill, and said to the second general: "The main advantage of the cavalry lies in the collision and speed, when facing the enemy, the collision can form an absolute advantage in strength, and at the same time, the speed advantage can allow the cavalry to quickly get out of the local confrontation and entanglement after the attack, and prevent it from falling into a siege." Seeing that the second general nodded frequently, Chen Long continued: "If you encounter the enemy's infantry phalanx, pikemen or antlers will often be arranged on the front to effectively resist the impact of the cavalry. ”

At this time, several horse army commanders had already greeted them, and they saw Chen Long all dismount and salute. Chen Long sat firmly on the carved saddle and saluted, and ordered: "Gather the 123rd Regiment immediately, and don't ride horses or bring any weapons first." The regimental commanders got on their horses one after another.

The three of them rode into the barracks, and where they passed, the soldiers saluted one after another, and the military discipline was rectified. Chen Long returned the military salute one by one, knowing that Huang Gai led the troops well, and he was very comforted. The three of them dismounted and stood on the side of the empty field, only to see the regiment commanders shouting and drinking, and the soldiers gradually standing in line. Chen Long saw that the whole team was finished, and he stood in front of the team, Huang Gai and Pan Jun lined up on both sides, and ordered everyone to be separated by an arm's length. For a while, the GIs began to reorganize the team one after another, and the scene was a bit chaotic, showing the under-trained side of the queue.

Chen Long said to Huang Gai: "You are the commander of the cavalry division, and the military posture and rank training of this team are also indispensable, which can increase the morale and confidence of the soldiers." Huang Gai nodded busily to be taught. Chen Long mobilized his internal strength and shouted at the reorganized team: "Cavalry brothers, I and your division commander and deputy division commander are here today to select the members of our special division, and to enter my special division, they must be the elite of the elite, the arrow that fights against the enemy, the dagger that beheads the enemy chieftain, the strange soldier who goes deep behind the enemy, and the highest glory of being a soldier!" So, if you have any skills today, you have to do your best for me, do you hear clearly? ”

The sparse harmony of the soldiers sounded, and Chen Long was not satisfied, and shouted again in a voice like a lion's roar: "Did you hear clearly!" At this time, the group of soldiers responded, and the voice sounded like thunder: "Hear clearly! ”

Chen Long nodded with satisfaction, and slowly walked into the ranks of soldiers with the second general. Seeing tall and tall, short and short, fat and fat, thin and thin, Chen Long specially eliminated some seemingly tall fat men first, and let them train by themselves, suddenly a tall and mighty fat soldier came out of the crowd, and said unconvinced: "Taishou, although I Zhu Ting is fat, but my strength is outstanding, ordinary three or five soldiers are not my opponents at all, why did you eliminate me like this?" ”

Pan Jun saw that he was about to reprimand, Chen Long waved his hand and smiled at the soldier: "Since you are not convinced, then I will give you a question, if you can do it, I will not only absorb you into the special forces, but also let you be the squad leader, how about it?" As he spoke, he shouted to the fat soldiers who were eliminated: "Zhu Ting is not convinced, I can give me a chance to take the exam." Is there anyone else who is not convinced? Come up together. Sure enough, there were a few more fat men, who came to the front of the ranks. Chen Long asked people to move thick wooden stakes, erected a wooden wall more than two feet high in the middle of the field, and built a low shed only one foot above the ground with a wooden fence behind him, and then shouted to all the soldiers: "Special soldiers must be able to jump high and fall on the ground, as if walking on the ground, and it is difficult for those with bloated bodies to be competent unless they are very skilled." Zhu Ting, you are the first, you can climb over this high wall with your bare hands in a stick of incense, and then crawl over this low shed, I will accept you. He said and looked at Zhu Ting with a smile.

Zhu Ting had already been roasted on the pot, so he had to agree. Chen Long called to light a piece of incense, stuck it on the ground, and said, "Let's start!" Zhu Ting began to run a few feet away from the high wall, and struggled to reach the wall, but his body was too fat, and less than half of it had no upward momentum.

Seeing that he was falling funny, Long Chen smiled and said: "Don't be discouraged if you are the most powerful among the fat people, I am about to adjust the attributes of the soldiers, you can apply to go to the infantry division, where talents like you are needed." That Zhu stood up with a red face, and went down with the team.

Huang Gai heard Chen Long say that he wanted to adjust the attributes of the soldiers, and said happily: "Big brother's words are in line with my thoughts. I immediately set about this matter and discussed with several division commanders the exchange of soldiers. ”

Chen Long nodded in agreement, and saw that the remaining soldiers had rearranged their ranks, and once again eliminated some soldiers who were too tall, too old or too young, and only retained the middle-aged soldiers who were about 1.85 meters tall. The soldiers on the playground were reduced again, and Chen Long asked the rest of the people to form a formation for the test of climbing over the wall, and eliminated some soldiers who were too thin, and finally eliminated only about 1,000 people.

Seeing that the rest of the soldiers were all sturdy men with moderate stature and well-proportioned figures, Chen Long nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Special soldiers, you must be born agile and react quickly, and then I will ask a second question to test your reflexes." He said that he had prepared a black cloth and arrows to remove the arrows. Everyone was faintly aware that this was to blindfold and avoid arrows, and they all started talking, Chen Long heard the discussion, raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Special forces, the most basic requirement is to obey the command in all actions, I don't ask you to speak, no one can open their mouths!" Those who disobey will be punished by disobedience and military law. ”

Originally, the soldiers were very easy-going, but now they felt the stern side of Chen Long's army, and they didn't dare to talk about it anymore, and straightened their bodies like javelins. Chen Long ordered: "All the soldiers, count from left to right, according to the order of the queue, come over one by one to be assessed. The first soldier stepped forward, and Long Chen personally led him to a hundred paces away and blindfolded him. He said, "You only need to listen to the sound of my bowstring, and you can listen to the wind and dodge." I'll shoot two arrows head-on, and if you dodge both, you turn around and dodge two arrows from the back, and you'll be qualified. Remember, you can't lift both feet off the ground at the same time, only one foot off the ground. The soldier nodded in agreement.

Chen Long returned to the place where the arrows were fired, and repeated the rules, and the first soldier who was killed stood there like a lamb to the slaughter, not daring to move, and beat a small drum in his heart.

Chen Long finally recognized the arrow and roared: "Look at the arrow!" "Lift up three successful forces and shoot an arrow. The soldier listened to the wind, flashed to the left, the bow and arrow grazed his body, and was dodging, when suddenly he heard the sound of the bowstring again, and the second arrow had already arrived in front of him, and he could no longer dodge, and he shot it on his right arm, and the soldier hung his head and went down.

More than 100 people were tested in this way, and the three of them took turns to shoot arrows, and the number of eliminators reached seventy. When it was a soldier's turn, seeing that he turned over a few catties in a row and came on the field, showing a good light skill, Chen Long saw that he was about 1.8 meters tall, his skin was chestnut, his body was well-proportioned, his eyebrows were thick and his eyes were big, and he looked dignified, and said happily: "What's your name?" The soldier stood up and replied, "The villain Lu Chang has learned art from a teacher since he was a child. The soldiers tied him up with a black cloth, and Chen Long didn't say anything, but recognized the arrow and shot it. That Lu Changyi was bold, but his feet did not move, his body twisted slightly, and the arrow flew over his body, followed by another iron plate bridge, and he dodged the second arrow. Chen Long saw that he was hiding quickly, nodded slightly, and when he turned his back, an arrow shot at his left leg, using five successful forces, then Lu Chang really got it, only to see that his upper body did not move, his left leg suddenly shrank, kicked upward, and a word horse came, and the arrow flew straight over with his right leg, and the soldiers would cheer.

Seeing that he dodged an arrow in a chic manner, Chen Long nodded slightly, but he didn't recognize the arrow, and pulled down the empty string with a bang, and Lu Chang's body tightened slightly, and he didn't dodge or dodge. Chen Long laughed, threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and shouted: "Lu Chang, you really have extraordinary ability,

You are hereby appointed as the captain of the first detachment of the special forces, commanding fifty people, under my direct jurisdiction. Lu Chang didn't know how big the captain of the detachment was, and when he heard that it was directly under the jurisdiction of Taishou, he thanked him with a smile and didn't mention it.

After this round, there were only about 300 people left, all of them were agile and responsive soldiers, and all of them had some martial arts. Chen Longming brought horses to each of them, and then competed in a round of riding and shooting, and finally selected the best 200 people, and the rest were issued by Huang Gai, and as the first reserve of the special forces, they were disbanded and returned to the battalion. Among the people with the highest martial arts, Chen Long ordered four team leaders, namely:

Captain of the first special forces detachment: Lu Chang;

Captain of the second special forces detachment: Hu Ji;

Captain of the Third Special Forces Detachment: Hao Pu;

Captain of the 4th Special Forces Detachment: Zu Lang.

Suddenly, more than half a month, Chen Long chose a secret place between Xiaoshui and Niushan, about 30 kilometers away from Lingling, and set up a special forces camp. Chen Long personally guided the training, rode the horse back and forth every day, but it was cheaper to fly the dragon, galloping willfully every day, raising his head and tail, jumping high and low, and Chen Long became more and more intimate. Chen Long set strict training rules for the special forces: in the morning, each person should run 5,000 meters with weights, hang up 300 upside down, cross a 30-meter low shed 200 times, and lift heavy objects 100 times in a lying position. Then, under the sun, tie a large stone to the head of the gun, and raise the gun flat for an hour, without moving. In the afternoon, he practiced martial arts, empty-handed fighting, hard qigong and other two hours, and then swam across the Xiaoshui with full armor for a round trip. After returning from swimming training, cut your throat with a dagger for half an hour before you can eat. Chen Long personally taught the key points of freestyle to the people, and the speed of swimming became more and more pleasant. Fortunately, everyone is an elite, although the training is extremely devilish, in half a month, no one is left behind, Chen Long found a few good military doctors, and gave everyone a massage without mentioning.

Time flies, it is the end of June, on this day Chen Long finished training, hurried back to the Taishou Mansion, the guards reported that there was a messenger from Chang'an, saying that if there is a letter, it must be submitted to the Taishou in person. Chen Long's heart moved, and he called the messenger to come up, and when he saw that his face was full of dust, he took the letter and told him to go down and rest. When the letter was unfolded, the font was beautiful, and Zhang Ning's pretty face seemed to leap onto the paper. Chen Long thought that he had finally sent a letter, and when he saw the letter, he euphemistically expressed his longing, and finally said that he and Ma Yuanyi had arrived in Luoyang, Kyoto. Chen Long was anxious, in June 184 A.D. in the official history, the destruction of the Yellow Turban was imminent, and Ma Yuanyi was captured by Tang Zhou's whistleblower in Luoyang, and the car was split in the city, and now Zhang Ning followed him to Luoyang to engage in espionage, which was too dangerous. He immediately repaired a letter, expressing his worries, and asked the messenger to return with him quickly.

Watching the messenger hurry away, Chen Long felt apprehensive and restless. Zhang Ning's shadow lingered in her heart, thinking that she had a deep affection for herself, and she must not let this beauty have any mistakes. How should I help Zhang Ning? Chen Long couldn't wait to turn into a flying bird, and immediately flew to Zhang Ning's side, biting his lower lip tightly, and secretly made up his mind.
