Chapter 183: Heading to Chengdu
Fuhu!
Gongsun Zhan, who got such an answer, was really a little crying and laughing.yankuai.He didn't have no eyes to chase books, so he could naturally see what they were doing. He just wanted to know the reason why Zhou Fan let these big men subdue the tiger.
Obviously, Zhou Fan didn't want to say it, so he gave such an answer. His Gongsun Chan is not an unreasonable person, since Zhou Fan doesn't want to say it, then he naturally won't ask more.
But he could more or less guess a little. There was already a precedent for Dian Wei to ride a tiger before, and now these fifty men are also preparing to follow Dian Wei's example to form a cavalry with a tiger as a mount.
Tiger Cavalry, at the thought of this name, Gongsun Chan had a little chilling feeling. When he was still working hard for his dream of being a white horse servant, Zhou Fan had actually begun to form the Tiger Cavalry, which was definitely the nemesis of the cavalry, and it was really an indescribable envy.
If he can have such a tiger cavalry, what are those foreigners afraid of. It's a pity that only Zhou Fan has that magical beast taming technique to control these tigers, and he can't be blessed with such a cavalry.
Thinking about it, his junior brother is really a ruthless person, and if anyone wants to be his enemy in the future, I am afraid that it will be better. But fortunately, he and Zhou Fan have the same friendship, and Zhou Fan is also a person who misses the old love, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to be his enemy, then I believe that Zhou Fan will definitely not come to deal with him.
Several people did not speak, just watched the shocking scene in silence until the last tiger was surrendered.
"Good, everybody passed the test!" Zhou Fan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Now I will give you ten days to rest and recuperate, and then come back after ten days to officially enter the camp." ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Everyone shouted in unison, but one by one they were all dead, obviously suffering a lot of injuries. Although these tigers did not use their claws, their strength alone was not something that ordinary people could resist, and almost all of them had some flesh wounds.
However, even so, there were satisfied smiles on everyone's faces. It was definitely a great honor to be able to join this Tiger Guard.
After leaving, Gongsun Chan stayed in Hanzhong for about seven days, and then returned to Youzhou with his men and horses. For this transaction. The two sides naturally take what they need, and with the relationship between senior brothers, they will not pit each other, so both sides are very satisfied.
Hanzhong, too guarded house.
Zhou Fan sat in the first place. The people below sat in columns, and Cheng Yu slowly reported all the affairs of the past month or so to Zhou Fan.
"Good!" Zhou Fan nodded with satisfaction: "The matter of recruiting refugees continues, don't stop." After the previous transaction with Gongsun Zhan, we also have a lot of horses, and the cavalry matter can also be operated, Zhongde, how about the construction of the Gansu bilateral stirrup and horseshoes and the heavy armor. ”
If there is anything that is the best trump card for cavalry, it is undoubtedly this bilateral stirrup, with this bilateral stirrup, the cavalry also has a focus on horses. The combat power can be increased by at least three layers, and even if you can't ride a horse, as long as you have this stirrup, if you want to learn to ride a horse in a short time, it is definitely not a dream.
And the most important thing is that this bilateral stirrup is simple, there is no difficulty at all, and now Dahan has a unilateral stirrup, as long as one more is added to the side, so Zhou Fan said it without hesitation. Leave it to Nagansu to build it, and leave the specific matters to professionals to study.
With this stirrup, coupled with the best war horses under Zhou Fan's hands, Zhou Fan is confident that he can build the cavalry under his command into the strongest cavalry in the Han Dynasty. Even if it is the Xiliang Iron Horse, or the Bingzhou Wolf Rider of Na Lu Bu, or the White Horse Yicong of Gongsun Zhan, then he will stand aside after that.
"Lord Qi, the bilateral stirrups and horseshoes are easy to make, and ordinary craftsmen can complete them. Now more than 2,000 sets have been created, and they have been sent to the barracks, as for the heavy armor casting, it is a little troublesome, and some craftsmen are not skilled enough, so there are not many of them, and now there are only 200 pieces. Cheng Yu said slowly.
"Continue to supervise and supervise Nagansu, don't stop building stirrups, and at the same time let him speed up the construction of some heavy armor, I want to see two thousand sets in half a year!" Zhou Fan said solemnly.
Two thousand sets, that is also Zhou Fan's goal, 1,000 heavy armored infantry, heavy cavalry is also 1,000 people, this is also the current limit of Zhou Fan, with just one Hanzhong, it is not easy to feed these soldiers and horses, if it is increased, I am afraid that it will be a waste of money and labor.
"No!"
"Junyi, how is the training of the cavalry now?" Zhou Fan himself has more than 1,500 horses around him, although the number is not much, but he has already begun to form cavalry, and now with Gongsun Zhan's 5,000 horses, the goal of 5,000 cavalry can be considered completed.
Hearing this, Zhang He was also a little excited, and said: "This is really thanks to the lord, the training of this cavalry is simply unsightly, in two months, there are still more than half of the people who can't even stabilize themselves on horseback." But fortunately, Mr. Zhongde sent the stirrup over half a month ago, and now it's okay, everyone is fine, and now they have begun to train to fight on horseback, and at this speed, I'm afraid it won't take half a year to be able to go to the battlefield. ”
What Zhang He said is not false. Ordinary cavalry, without two or three years of training, will not be able to take it at all, but with this stirrup is different, it can definitely increase the efficiency of training cavalry several times.
"That's fine, in two months' time, I'll send you the rest of the horses, and then I'll see an elite iron horseman!" Zhou Fan said.
"The last general obeys!"
"By the way, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and I plan to leave in two days to go to Chengdu! At that time, this Nan Zheng will bother you again. Zhou Fan said helplessly.
Zhou Fan is also helpless, when he was separated from his father and mother, he was told early that he must reunite with them during the New Year.
With my own understanding of my mother, if I don't go, I will have a good time at that time. But fortunately, now Hanzhong is also on the right track, even if he is not there, it can develop steadily. If it was changed to the beginning of the period, Zhou Fan would not dare to leave even half a step.
But I have to say that Zhou Yi was really efficient enough to do things, although I don't know how he did it, but in that little time, he has successfully moved the governance office to Chengdu.
"Rest assured, my lord!" Cheng Yu said lightly. (To be continued.) )
