Chapter 116: The Iron Cavalry of the Merge State

Lu Bu only shook his head when he looked at the tall and big, majestic and martial Xiliang horse in front of him, every day as an ancestor offering, he could only be fed with essence, and he would live better than a person. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info feeding is too poor, and he loses weight quickly, and he can't move at all, let alone think that he can charge into battle. Raising one war horse is equivalent to the cost of raising five to six soldiers. Cao Cao raised thousands of tigers and leopards to ride, and was so poor that he dug people's ancestral graves everywhere. Since Lu Bu received Xiahou Yuan's hundreds of war horses, he has consumed a lot of the grain and grass he saved to save the people.

The more than 1,200 war horses in front of him were still slowly accumulated by Lu Bu in several wars.

Xiliang horse runs fast, the charge is very fierce, but the requirements for grain and grass are very high, to use good grain and grass to ensure its physical strength, and the endurance is not enough, the charge of twenty or thirty miles is not reduced, fifty or sixty miles is a little unbearable, seventy or eighty miles without breath to hang.

"It would be nice if it was Dawanma." Dawan horse is commonly known as sweat and blood BMW, Lu Bu dreamed of having an army composed of sweat and blood BMW, but Dawan horse is far away in Dawan country. He still remembers that there is a very cost-effective war horse in history, and it is very inconspicuous, this kind of horse is called Mongolian horse, but the Mongolian capital will not appear until a thousand years later, and now where to find Mongolian war horses? The ghost knows what the name of the Mongolian war horse is now. can only wait for Guanzhong Xiliang to stabilize, he led the army to the Xiongnu and Wuhuan areas to find it in person.

"My lord, all the soldiers have been found. They are all very loyal soldiers, and every time there is a big battle, they compete to meet the enemy first, and there is no record of escape. Wei Yue panted and came to the horse shed to report.

"How many people are registered in the state?" Lu Bu is a native of Bingzhou, and in this era, the concept of region and bloodline is very strong, and he is very exclusive of outsiders.

"There are only more than 400 people."

"Not a lot. Go and order the selected soldiers to assemble on the school grounds. The four hundred men far exceeded Lu Bu's expectations, Xiapi was captured, and the Bingzhou veterans who followed Lu Bu were basically wiped out. Only a handful of them scattered and fled, and the rest are now working as coolies for Cao Cao.

Lu Bu wanted to wait for the three days to build stirrups to forcibly train a soldier. He hadn't personally trained his soldiers for a long time, but the cavalry had to be in his hands, and what he was best at was leading the cavalry into battle.

Lu Bu came to the school ground, and the morale accumulated in the successive battles would not be depressed because of the defeat in one or two battles, and the thousands of people below all held their heads high and tried to show themselves more majestic, but after little training, they were not neatly arranged, and they were drawn from various battalions and kneaded together, so it was even more impossible to stand neatly.

Lu Bu stood on the podium and glanced at the silent soldiers in the audience, and cleared his throat: "The former Flying Bear Cavalry is finished, and it is also finished competing with the Iron Cavalry. Dong Zhuo is dead, and the Flying Bear Cavalry cannot be rebuilt. But Ben is not dead, Ben is going to rebuild the cavalry! ”

"You are all loyal and righteous people of the Han Dynasty, so I will screen you out from thousands of troops and horses to form the invincible and invincible Bingzhou cavalry in the past, and sweep the world."

Lu Bu's high voice lowered: "If someone is greedy and afraid of death, quit now." ”

One of the soldiers cautiously asked, "General, I don't know how to ride a horse." ”

Lu Bu said confidently: "Under the training of this general, three days is enough time for you to be as stable as Mount Tai on horseback, and you can also fight with the enemy army." ”

Some of the soldiers, who could barely ride horses, listened in disbelief. Cavalry is not simply riding on horseback or cavalry, and it is called cavalry when the horse is running fast and taking weapons to fight the enemy. The infantry wants to train as a cavalry for a year and a half, and they can't ride a stable war horse. The cavalry had to clamp their legs between the high-speed charging horses, and they could not maintain their balance for a short time, let alone free their hands to grasp the weapon to meet the enemy and avoid the enemy's attack.

"With the general here, what miracle won't happen? What to fuss about? Wei Yue saw that he was discussing it at the bottom, and he didn't believe what Lu Bu said at all, and stood at the front of the big array and said angrily.

"Not ordinary cavalry, I will train a cavalry archer." Lu Bu's words are not shocking, and he is endless. Looking at the entire Han Dynasty, except for the defeated Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yi who was good at riding and shooting, there was no archer.

When Lu Bu saw this, the audience began to discuss again, and his palms were pressed weakly: "There is no basis for your words, can any of you not know how to ride a horse?" ”

"I..." more than half of the people replied loudly, among which the peasant soldiers led by Xiao Xiong had the loudest voice. They have been following Lu Bu during the most difficult time, and more than 130 people have survived the battle until now. This time, the whole army selected loyal soldiers, and none of the peasant soldiers were left behind, and all of them were selected.

"Xiao Xiong, come out." Lu Bu looked at the crowd, and only a very small number of people, including Xiao Xiong, could call out their names and beckoned him to the stage.

Xiao Xiong faced the outlaw under the black pressure for the first time, and he couldn't let go, so he walked to Lu Bu and stood still.

"What did you do before?"

Xiao Xiong was a little surprised, he had already told Lu Bu, and when he saw Lu Bu asking, he still replied honestly: "Hunting." ”

"Do you know how to ride a horse?"

"I've seen someone else ride." Xiao Xiong thought for a moment and added: "There are occasional rides in the army, but riding is not good. ”

Lu Bu nodded, summoned a war horse from his backpack, and then took out the pair of Takahashi saddle stirrups that had been prepared a long time ago and equipped the war horse. Lu Bu pointed at the war horse: "You ride it and try it." ”

Xiao Xiong cautiously stepped on the war horse, and his body stuck in the saddle shook deliberately without moving.

"Put the other foot in the stirrup as well." The current war horses are all unilateral stirrups, just to facilitate getting on and off the horse. Xiao Xiong is also a general, and occasionally he will ride a horse, and he is used to getting used to the horse, and his legs are tightly clamped on the horse's belly: "Don't be so nervous, relax, yes, your legs don't need to be clamped so tightly." ”

"Drive." Lu Bu had a row of horses, and the war horses rushed out, and Xiao Xiong, who had not yet reacted, hurriedly grabbed around, almost fell headlong, and grabbed the reins and horsemane.

Xiao Xiong trotted twice around the school field, feeling that he was stepping on the stirrups under his feet, and it was very easy to sit in the saddle, and he did not need to clamp the horse's belly as before to ensure that his body would not slide off the horse's back. The courage gradually let go, carefully loosen the reins and the horse's mane, the speed of the war horse did not decrease, he still sat firmly on the horse's back, slowly whipped the war horse, increased the speed, and began to compare the movements of various battles on the war horse.

"Give me a knife." Xiao Xiong shouted excitedly. When the soldiers watching saw it, they were all shocked, they were still trembling a moment ago, and they were cautious for fear of falling off the horse's back to look like a young general, and they dared to let go of their horsehair with both hands in half a day, and gestured as they wanted, could it be that General Lu was really omnipotent?

The soldier who was close to Xiao Xiong threw the long knife in his hand to Xiao Xiong, but he didn't know that he had no strength in it, and flew high towards Xiao Xiong's head.

Xiao Xiong also reacted instinctively, grabbed the reins with one hand, reached out of reach for the long knife, and instinctively stepped on the stirrup and stood up to catch the knife.

"Ahh The soldiers watching saw Xiao Xiong suddenly stand up from his horse, catch the war knife steadily, and exclaimed in surprise. How skilled does it take to do this?
