The three-day holiday is not long, but it is not short. However, when everyone and their families parted here, it seemed so short-lived. It's like a snap of a finger from a white horse.

After getting up early in the morning, after each family had breakfast, Li Yanzhao, Liu Jiwu, Cao Jian, and Cui Yang packed up, said goodbye to their families, and after going out, they met with the rest of the people. Everyone was reluctant. However, the holiday season is over, and it is time to return to the camp. Although they are reluctant, these sons and daughters have already developed the character of being able to do what they want in the army. Speaking of today's return, everyone packed up early, had breakfast, and as soon as they heard Li Yanzhao's summons, they walked out of the house and gathered together towards the west gate.

By this time, the gates had been opened, but there were still only sporadic pedestrians walking around the streets. Li Yanzhao and his entourage walked through the streets and alleys, passed through the west gate, and went straight to the Guangwu Army camp in the west.

What everyone saw all the way, those who gathered together in twos and threes were all cavalrymen from the Guangwu Army who took leave and returned to the camp to build. Everyone was no stranger to each other, and after greeting and chatting a few words, they came together, and the team beside Li Yanzhao gradually became larger and larger, and in the end, there were dozens of people, all of whom were doing the same, and walked neatly to the camp in the west of the city.

The sergeant guarding the camp was taken aback when he saw the smoke and dust, and some of the sergeants hurriedly went up to the watchtower to look at it for a long time before he came down and said, "Don't panic, your own people." ”

Then the dozens of cavalry soldiers approached and greeted the soldiers guarding the camp gate, and everyone marched into the camp gate, which made the camp guards surprised for a while. Seeing this, Li Yanzhao, who led the team, smiled and thought that the behavior of his people could also imperceptibly affect the rest of the people around him. And he is gradually witnessing the subtle changes of the rest of the people. And I am glad about these changes.

When the horsemen had entered the camp gate, they returned to their own homes. Li Yanzhao also took everyone back to the tent where he lived, put down the luggage, and then everyone checked each other's military appearance, then hung up the ring head sword, bow and arrow, and each took a spear in his hand and walked out of the tent, towards the big tent of Ma Duwei.

Li Yanzhao reported outside the tent and heard Captain Ma Du shouting inside the tent: "Come in!" And he lifted the curtain and went in. Hugging his fists, he said: "Subordinate Li Yanzhao, meet the captain." ”

Ma Duwei smiled and said, "Have you rested?" Now that you have returned to the camp, let's start today, and participate in the drills. ”

Li Yanzhao hugged his fists and promised. Just as he was about to leave, Captain Ma Du called out to him: "You should lead your men to practice as you used to." Captain Bendu is going to observe your department's drills today, how about it? ”

Li Yanzhao hesitated slightly, and then hugged his fists and said to Ma Duwei: "Captain Yudu, what I and my subordinates conducted in the past were all training subjects for foot soldiers. To us, horses are more like means of transportation, and to put it mildly, we are simply infantry on horseback. ”

When Ma Duwei heard this, he laughed: "It's okay, I'll say hello, take a few horses out, and guide you to practice equestrianism and horse war." Li Yanzhao heard this: "This is the best. Then there was the guidance of Captain Laodu. ”

After the discussion, the two didn't talk nonsense, Ma Duwei took Li Yanzhao to lead a few people, went to the stable, and led five horses out. Immediately, Li Yanzhao also ordered the rest of the people to move over the scarred wooden dummies with knives and arrows, and headed towards the training ground they had originally opened up at the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Qin Dayong, Niu Erzhuang, Wang Qiang, Cui Yang, and Zhang Xing stepped forward to stand the five wooden dummies at the foot of the mountain. I haven't practiced for a while, but at this moment, in the face of this familiar venue and the familiar wooden dummy target, everyone is eager to try.

Li Yanzhao shouted to everyone, and he was not in a hurry. So he took a horse and asked Captain Ma to come forward and show his hands to his brothers.

Ma Ping laughed, but gladly agreed, led the horse a little farther away, and then stepped on the horse's back with a spear, a bow and arrows, and a ring-headed sword.

When everyone saw this, they all held their breath and stared at Ma Duwei's figure quietly. He took out the bow from the bow bag, and when the horse had not yet accelerated, he had already drawn the bow and set up the arrow, and everyone only heard the sound of the bowstring, and then heard a bang, and then heard an arrow on the first wooden dummy, and the arrow was still swaying.

When everyone was still looking at the arrow on top of the first dummy, the tail of the arrow swayed endlessly, they were stunned, and they were aggressive, and on the second and third dummies, an arrow was also inserted into each other.

Before the crowd could marvel, they saw that the horse had galloped, but Captain Ma had abandoned his bow and arrows, and with the spear in his hand, he stabbed straight at the fourth dummy with the speed of his galloping horsepower.

I saw that the moment the spear stabbed the dummy, Ma Duwei's right wrist turned and loosened, and under the huge impact, the dummy fell to the ground with a fixed wooden pole, and the wooden pole inserted into the ground was knocked down, and the underground soil flew up. The spear was firmly attached to the dummy.

Captain Ma Dudu discarded his spear and drew the ring knife at his waist, but the horse did not slow down at all, and rushed straight past the fifth dummy, which was only a matter of moments. When the horse rushed a few feet away, the head of the last wooden dummy slowly fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

After only a few breaths of effort, Ma Duwei had already slashed all five imaginary targets under his horse. The expressions of the crowd can no longer be described as astonished. Captain Ma slowly reined in his horse's speed and turned his horse's head to walk, only to see that these soldiers all looked admiring and adoring. I couldn't help but sit back and laugh.

Seeing Ma Duwei's series of actions, the clouds flowed smoothly, and in a few breaths, several wooden people were hit one after another. Li Yanzhao was deeply impressed by Ma Duwei's superb equestrianism and skilled martial arts. He also understands that the kung fu of killing several people in a row in these few breaths cannot be achieved without years of practice.

Li Yanzhao never thought at this time that he would form an elite light cavalry in the future. Such is the selection requirement, "killing" five wooden dummies in a few breaths of a charge.

With such strict selection requirements, this cavalry unit has always been scarce. Until he crossed Tongguan and waved his finger to the east, he was only 5,000 people. This is a later story, and it is not on the table.

When everyone saw the majestic Ma Duwei, they all worshipped it. Under the ardent demand of everyone to expect progress, Ma Duwei began to train everyone in equestrianism.

Ma Duwei began to train everyone from a series of subjects such as the most basic, riding posture, slow marching, marching steering, and turning in place. Ma Duwei's requirements are extremely strict, and even a small mistake in his actions will attract him with a whip on the head. However, under the idea of eagerness to improve themselves, there is no complaint.

If it doesn't work again, repeat the same action over and over again, boringly, even if Li Yanzhao is included. Only a strong faith sustains the people, so that they repeat all these things without complaint, which seem to be boring but very meaningful.

Everyone was constantly practicing, and they spent the first day of training in constant reprimands. Since this day, Ma Duwei has almost become a full-time equestrian horse combat instructor for these ten people. The drills of the cavalry were also handed over to the two captains who took turns to be in charge. The cavalry of the Guangwu Army complained about Captain Madu's slackness, but it was only a complaint.

The role played by Li Yanzhao in counterinsurgency is obvious to all. Therefore, although everyone has a lot of criticism about what kind of preference Ma Duwei has for them, they can fully understand it. After all, if they were in Li Yanzhao's position, all they could play would be a long role. Therefore, the cavalry's convincing of Li Yanzhao contributed to their tacit acquiescence to Ma Duwei's behavior.

After more than half a month of training, everyone's riding skills have become more and more sophisticated. In the face of this achievement, Ma Duwei said that the progress was too slow, but he was very satisfied in his heart. After all, horsemanship is a skill that can only be cultivated after years of hard work. The crowd has made such rapid progress that it has exceeded his expectations.

It was a sunny day again, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival at this time, although the sun was shining, everyone still felt the chill from the cold wind that blew from time to time. When they went to the stables to bring their horses, prepared their swords, guns, bows and arrows, and were about to go to the captain of the horse to call him, and began the day's exercises, they saw a group of officials of all sizes coming in at the gate of the camp, and the lord Taishou was riding on a tall horse, and he was at the head of the officials.

Everyone stopped and looked at the team of officials who had entered through the door. Han Wencan gasped and said straightly: "Good girl, there are so many officials at once, what's the big deal." ”

Niu Erzhuang looked at the official vote innocently, scratched his head and said, "Won't there be a rebellion again, call us to suppress the bandits, right?" ”

When Qin Dayong heard this, he came up and slapped Niu Erzhuang on the back of the head: "What do you think, you haven't had enough of the sin last time?" ”

Li Yanzhao looked at the team quietly, but said in a deep voice: "Look at this battle, I'm afraid that the reward has come down." ”
