Chapter 233: Not a Defeat
Liu Rong was so angry that he could only vent his anger on his subordinates, and the person who was kicked to the ground also covered his stomach and looked like he was in pain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yesterday, Shi Zhan brought back the news from the palace that Shi Hu agreed to transfer horses, grain, grass, weapons and armor, and the next day, the selection of the wolf cavalry captain began.
Referring to the selection requirements of the Iron Eagle Warrior, Shi Min also put forward his own requirements and opinions on the selection of the wolf cavalry captain.
The role of this 500-man wolf cavalry captain on the battlefield in the future is to be able to run long distances, go deep behind enemy lines, and as an unexpected force, give the enemy a fatal blow when the gods are not knowing!
Therefore, in addition to the initial five hundred elite soldiers, Shi Min also selected a few doctors and veterinarians who accompanied the army, of course, these doctors and veterinarians must also be able to fight well and charge into battle.
"Xiao Min, look at this first level of physical fitness, nearly half of the people have been out, is our requirement too harsh?" Wang Shicheng crossed his hands on his hips and whispered to Shi Min.
Shi Min frowned slightly, shook his head, and replied: "Third uncle, our original definition of the wolf cavalry captain is that the soldiers should be as tenacious and fierce as wolves, any wolf pack has a strict system, and our army is the same, so it is better not to have five hundred people than to lower the requirements of this selection, otherwise it will harm the entire wolf cavalry captain!" ”
"I think Min is right! That one...... How do you say one word? What is a hundred into what steel! ”
"Tempered into steel!" Shi Min reminded.
"Yes, yes, yes! Expertise is the result of long and hard practice! If you don't temper and temper well, how can you become the elite of the elite? This requirement must not be lowered. Li Chang fully agreed with Shi Min's idea.
"Why didn't my father come to see the selection of the wolf rider today?" Shi Min looked around, and then asked Wang Shicheng.
"The eldest brother said that there is something important to discuss with Mr. Qin today, so let me and your second uncle come over and watch."
"Have something important to discuss? Did my father say what was going on? Shi Min asked suspiciously.
"I heard my eldest brother mention it last night, saying that we are going to Handan to garrison and train troops in Tuntian, I guess it should be because of this incident, right?"
"Tuntian? Going to Handan? Shi Min looked at Wang Shicheng.
"Don't look at me, I guessed too!" Wang Shicheng said.
Shi Min pursed his lips and asked, "Is General Xue Zan back?" ”
"You should be back soon, right? It's been more than two hours! Li Chang replied on the side.
At this moment, a soldier came running to report: "Major General Qiyu, General Xue is back!" ”
"Did you bring the horse back?" Shi Min hurriedly asked.
"Brought back! Hundreds of horses! The soldier replied with some excitement.
"Two uncles, I'm bothering you two to watch here, I'll take a look at the horses." Shi Min said to Li Wang and the others.
"Okay, go ahead, here is your second uncle and I'm here!" Li Chang patted his chest confidently.
Shi Min followed the soldiers who came to spread the word and trotted to the horse farm near the barracks, Xue Zan grinned from afar, and shouted at Shi Min excitedly: "Young General, come and see!" All good horses! ”
Shi Min was also extremely happy, ran to the horse farm, and saw the hundreds of horses that Xue Zan had brought back from the patrol camp.
"It is said that General Xue understands horses and horses, I think what they said is true!" Shi Min praised Xue Zan while carefully looking at the horses he had brought back.
"The major general has won the award, look at it, how are these horses?" Xue Zan said with some embarrassment.
"These horses have fat and fat body keys, well-proportioned body shape, and neat manes, you can tell that they are good horses at a glance!"
"Hahahaha, these horses were picked out by the brothers from the thousands of horses in the patrol camp!" Xue Zan said with a smile.
"Then Liu Rong must be angry, right?"
"No, you didn't see his face, it's as black as carbon!"
"According to Liu Rong's temper, he didn't quarrel with you?"
"How can you not be noisy, you almost want to do it!" Xue Zan said this, with an angry face.
"Then our brother didn't have a conflict with his patrol battalion, did he?"
"He dares! We are going with the Holy Decree, if he dares to do it, it will be a rebellion! It's a rebellion! Xue Zan replied proudly
"Hahahahaha! General Xue, how many stallions and mares did you pick up these horses? ”
Xue Zan scratched his head, thought about it, and replied: "Most of them are mares, and the stallions are only about one or two hundred, what's wrong with the young general?" ”
"General Xue, you have a lot of credit!" Shi Min patted Xue Zan and said.
"My subordinates don't understand ......"
"We don't have many war horses in the Zhao Kingdom, we can't sit and eat empty mountains, we have to find a way to raise good horses by ourselves, and now we can make up more than a thousand horses of good breeds in the army, and use these horses to breed new horses, and we will definitely be able to raise more good horses, so that in time, we will be able to have more elite cavalry, and then we can sweep the Huns Xianbei!" Shi Min said with ambition.
"The major general is right!" Xue Zan clapped his hands and praised.
Shi Min's few words were a bit far-sighted, and they also touched the hearts of generals like Xue Zan who had fought for many years.
"General Xue, arrange for people to take good care of these horses, including the good horses we selected before, they must be fed separately from ordinary war horses, and the grain and grass used must be the best!" Shi Min instructed.
"Major General, rest assured! Subordinates understand! Xue Zan nodded.
After three days of rigorous selection of wolf cavalry captains, five hundred and three soldiers who met the selection requirements were finally produced, and it was somewhat unexpected that among the five hundred or so people, there were about one hundred homeless people brought back by Wang Shicheng and Shi Min at that time, of course, Wang Chong and Zhang Mufeng were also very happy to pass the selection.
According to the previous plan, the five hundred and four wolf cavalry captains were commanded by Shi Min and equipped with the best war horses and weapons and equipment, of course, in order not to affect the normal command of the more than 40,000 troops, the wolf cavalry captains were not selected from the battle-hardened veterans like Xue Zan, but selected those young soldiers who were strong and brave and fearless.
"Major General! From now on, I will be directly under your command! Wang Chong ran over excitedly and said to Shi Min.
Shi Min was sitting alone on a rock, thinking about Qin Wan quietly, and when he heard Wang Chong calling him, he turned around and smiled, and encouraged: "Congratulations!" Kill more enemies and make meritorious contributions in the future! ”
"That's a must!" Wang Chong sat down and said, "I didn't kill enough Huns last time!" Next time I'm going to capture the Huns alive! ”
"It's good to have this ambition! But with your current ability, you are not the opponent of the Xiongnu Shan Yu. ”
Wang Chong bit his lip and said slowly: "What the young general said is true!" That old guy is really powerful! ”
"You have lived in the Huns for so long, tell me about the Huns."
"This ......" Wang Chong scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Any questions? Shi Min was a little puzzled when he saw Wang Chong's reaction.
"No, no, no! Major General, don't get me wrong...... I just don't know where to say it......"
"Just talk about that Xiongnu Shan Yu!" Shi Min said casually.
Wang Chong thought for a while, sighed, looked into the distance and said: "Actually, when I was a slave to the Huns, I didn't see him a few times, but I heard from the mouth of the Huns that this Huns were the first warriors of the Huns!" ”
"First Warrior?" Shi Min asked.
"That's right! It was so spread among the Huns! Many years ago, when this Xiongnu was only a teenager, he went to the battlefield, and he never lost a single battle on the battlefield! ”
Shi Min nodded and said, "Hmm...... You're right, that Da Dan Yu does have some ability! ”
"I heard that the general suffered the loss of that Hun Shan Yu back then! The Huns told me that the big man designed to deceive the general into going deep into the grassland, and was finally surrounded by more than 100,000 Huns, and the general's men and horses suffered heavy losses. ”
"I have only heard about this war, and I don't know what the specific situation is, but I just heard the two generals of King Li mention this matter by chance." Shi Min glanced at Wang Chong and said.
