Chapter 4 The Standard of Cavalry
Five people and four horses, along the post road when Dong Chu came, walked quickly towards Qiansang City. Qiansang, the seat of Upper Valley County, where the main army of the entire Upper Valley County is stationed.
After a quarter of an hour's rest, Dong Chu has recovered most of it, of course, the dislocation of the lower jaw is not something that can be recovered in a while. At this time, Dong Chu was thinking about how he would be fooled if he was asked about his jaw after returning to the barracks. Not beat around the bush? Dong Chu didn't have that plan.
When the five soldiers were hurrying, they were all unconsciously silent. For Dong Chu and the others, the changes in Qin Cheng were naturally the point of interest to them, but they didn't make any sound except for signaling to each other with their eyes, and then nodding and shaking their heads paradoxically. The terrifying strength that Qin Cheng had shown before had already left a lot of shadows in their minds, and at this moment, when they looked at Qin Cheng who was walking in the front, there was a trace of deep jealousy in their eyes in addition to doubts.
After Qin Cheng "became famous" in the previous life, he had a horse farm, and he was no stranger to horseback riding, and even his riding skills were not bad.
Thinking about it with the back of his head, Qin Cheng also knew the appearance of those people behind, so he didn't pay too much attention to them. The changes in the past and present lives made Qin Cheng silent all the way.
Although Qin Cheng felt unbelievable and incomprehensible about his crossing, this did not prevent him from accepting this fact, although it was only for the time being. Adapting to changes in the environment, and then quickly making corresponding adjustments, has always been Qin Cheng's almost instinctive ability.
After all, in the face of a reality that cannot be changed, the most rational response is to adapt to it, and then live a good life, even if it is inevitable that there will be heartache.
Taking 10,000 steps back, after all, Qin Cheng was already a dead person in the previous life, and he was still more willing to accept the continuation of life brought by this crossing.
In addition, Qin Cheng's identity in this life is surprisingly consistent with his dream when he went to school in his previous life. When Qin Cheng was still in school, he dreamed of becoming a soldier, but in the end, he had to step on the underworld.
The only thing Qin Cheng can't let go of now is his mother in that world.
After suffering for a long time, he began to digest the information about his life that appeared in his mind.
Qincheng's identity is a military household, which is different from ordinary soldiers (soldiers who have been on the border for one year), and is regarded as a semi-professional soldier, which is the product of the imperial court's relocation to the Tunbian. When he returned to the countryside this time, he received news to go back to visit his seriously ill sister, the only remaining relative in this world in Qincheng. But fortunately, my sister Qin Yue's condition was already fine when Qin Cheng went back.
"Xiaocheng, what are you thinking? Are you still worried about being court-martial when you go back? Rest assured, we will all testify for you. Wu Daliang patted his horse to keep up with Qin Cheng and keep up with him. In the entire army, he had the best relationship with Qin Cheng. This veteran usually takes care of the "thin" Qin Cheng, so he is the only one who dares to come forward to talk to Qin Cheng at this time.
Qin Cheng smiled noncommittally and glanced at Wu Daliang, without the slightest edge in his eyes. Wu Daliang's previous bold actions to stop Dong Chu from being unfavorable to him had already won Qin Cheng's favor, and with the memory in his mind, Qin Cheng was happy to be kind to this kind-hearted veteran.
"I'm not worried about this, this matter is already a sure thing, and I can't run away." Qin Cheng's words were filled with confidence, "But I have a question I want to ask." ”
"What's the problem? You're polite with me! Wu Daliang said heartily, the speed of everyone stepping on the horse is not very fast, so they can talk freely.
"Based on your experience, do you know how infantry can be transformed into cavalry?" Qin Cheng nodded and asked.
"Cavalry?" Wu Daliang didn't expect Qin Cheng to ask such a question, and after being stunned, he groaned for a while, and then slowly spoke, "Everyone's class has been decided at the beginning of joining the army, which class you are is which class, and it will be this for the rest of your life, and it will not change if there are no very special circumstances in the future." Why do you suddenly ask this? Do you want to be a cavalryman? ”
Qin Cheng held the reins in his hand, riding the sturdy war horse under his crotch steadily, listening to Wu Daliang's answer, his eyes flickered for a moment, but he immediately returned to normal. Then he asked paradoxically: "Didn't you think about being a cavalryman?" ”
Of course, Qin Cheng couldn't answer that the cavalry was the main force to defeat the Xiongnu army in the future, and an infantry had no future at all in this era, which was a matter of common sense for Qin Cheng, who had a high school degree and had excellent grades.
"Huh!" Wu Daliang laughed dryly, "If you want to be a cavalryman, you have to have that ability!" Without a solid foundation in archery and a strong body, how can you be a cavalryman? ”
Cavalry, without a doubt, is a very imposing class.
"I know that." Qin Cheng nodded and said naturally. Of course, in fact, he didn't know, but the memory in his head was awakened by Wu Daliang's words just now. After saying this, Qin Cheng began to ponder the question of cavalry, no matter where he was, Qin Cheng could not allow himself to live mediocrely.
"It's not impossible, though." Wu Daliang saw that Qin Cheng lowered his head, he was a little unbearable, and couldn't help but speak.
"Oh?"
"As long as General Li personally approves it, let alone turning into a cavalry, it is no problem to become a cavalry captain. This year's capital test (the big military parade and soldier review held in the county every autumn) is also about to begin, as long as the archery skills are good enough and the body is strong, there is no chance to win the favor of General Lee! Wu Daliang said, speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, as if he felt that he had said nonsense. Qin Cheng's archery skills, saying that he is mediocre are demeaning the word mediocrity.
The speaker had no intention of listening, and when Qin Cheng heard Wu Daliang's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. Although he didn't study archery much in his previous life, archery was not very good. But as long as you win General Li's favor, you will have a chance, but the sentence touched Qin Cheng. It is now late autumn, and the Xiongnu may enter and loot at any time, as long as they seize the opportunity at that time, the possibility of making contributions is still very great. At that time, as long as you can become a cavalryman, then you can win the first big battle after you cross, gain a foothold, and have a chance to develop! In the future, I won't be able to make a name for myself here, or even fulfill the long-cherished wish of a general that I have dreamed of for more than ten years in my previous life!
Thinking of this, Qin Cheng's heart suddenly brightened, and a faint and bright smile appeared on his face.
……
Li Guang, the county guard of Shanggu County, concurrently served as the governor and was the supreme political and military commander of the county, and under his governance, the more than 10,000 defenders of Shanggu County were definitely strong even if they could not be said to be well-equipped. This point, when Qin Cheng came to the Qiansang military camp after a small half-day journey, he deeply realized it.
The architecture of the barracks is less majestic but absolutely solid, a military complex typical of this period. The soldiers in front of the gate and on the watchtower are all in good spirits, with tall postures and sharp eyes, the armor on their bodies and the long knives or halberds in their hands all show a solemn and bloody atmosphere, and the roars of thousands of soldiers in the military camp during training are soaring into the sky, full of masculinity.
Qin Cheng and the others turned over and dismounted in front of the road fence, and led the horses into the barracks. As soon as he entered the barracks, Qin Cheng was shocked by the strong military breath, and when his eyes touched the soldiers who were sweating profusely or holding their heads high, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was really a famous general's soldier, and it was extraordinary!
