Sun Quan himself couldn't help but feel a little depressed, he didn't know if Sun Ce believed in himself too much, or if he was too good at showing himself, and he actually found him in the job of training soldiers.

Training?

How do you practice?

Sun Quan has hardly even read the book of soldiers, and his only experience is that the war dramas he often watches give him a little idea, but it is a performance, a fake mess, can it be the same?

But since he has agreed, Sun Quan can't be untrustworthy, so he can only bite the bullet.

――――――――

Sun Ce's soldiers were the Jiangdong cavalry, and the cavalry battalion was stationed on a plain twenty miles outside the city of Wuxian County, occupying hundreds of acres of land, and the place was very wide.

When Sun Ce and Sun Quan entered the camp, Zhou Tai and Sun He were organizing these Jiangdong soldiers to train equestrianism.

After Sun Jian obtained Yuan Shu's tens of thousands of war horses, he decided to train an elite cavalry, implementing one person and two horses, plus the war horses originally owned by Jiangdong, a total of 6,000 cavalry, all here.

The whole school field is divided into more than a dozen regions, the soldiers have not trained any phalanx, they are all familiar with horsemanship, in the cold weather, one by one riding horses, lingering in the school field to run, some run fast, some run full, which is also accompanied by the shouts of Zhou Tai and Sun He.

"Hurry, accelerate, accelerate!"

"One by one, I haven't eaten, I have to run, pay attention to my waist, and balance the horse's back."

"Don't be afraid of falling, your waist should be strong!"

……

……

Sun Jian put Zhou Tai and Sun He, one martial and one literate, to assist Sun Ce's side, and the two attached more importance to this cavalry than Sun Ce, even during Sun Ce's absence, he did not relax at all, after all, this cavalry was the only cavalry in the Jiangdong Army.

The cavalry is the king of war in the era of cold weapons, but it is the biggest shortcoming of the Jiangdong army, Jiangdong is not a desert north, and the elite soldiers of Jiangdong can be familiar with equestrianism, so this cavalry must start training from the simplest.

"General, second son!"

Watching Sun Ce and Sun Quan walk into the camp, Zhou Tai and Sun He hurriedly greeted them.

"Youping, how are you training?" Several people walked into a tent in the middle, and Sun Ce asked a little impatiently.

"General, we are still in the stage of getting familiar with equestrianism, and it will take some time to really start training." Zhou Tai replied with a bow.

Today's Sun Ce is not only the eldest son of the Jiangdong Army, but also a general in the Jiangdong Army, so the people in the cavalry battalion have already called him a general, not the eldest prince.

"So how long will it be before we can actually start training." Sun Ce also understood that cavalry was not trained in a moment, so he asked helplessly.

"General, this can't be rushed, if you want to be fully familiar with horsemanship, it will take a few months, and as for the formation of combat effectiveness, it will take at least half a year." Sun He frowned, and said cautiously: "And you can only carry out the combat effectiveness of ordinary charging formations, if you want to completely form and become an elite cavalry, you need at least one year of training, plus the bloody battle on the battlefield!" ”

"It's been too long, now we are almost in the north of Wu County, and it won't be long before my father will pay tribute to Yan Baihu and them, followed by Huiji, Danyang, and cavalry will definitely be used at that time."

Sun Ce was a little anxious, and said: "At this time, the greatest combat strength of our Jiangdong Army must be pulled to the battlefield as soon as possible, we can't wait, second brother, do you have any way to let them form combat effectiveness in advance?" ”

"Me? Big brother, you think too much of me, cavalry is originally a difficult class, what can I do! Sun Quan said with a wry smile, but there was a flash of inspiration in his little head, and he really thought of something.

"Could it be that watching our father fight, we can only be in a hurry?" Sun Ce was a little irritable, and his fist fell heavily on the desk, and the entire desk was suddenly torn apart.

"Big brother, don't worry, I don't know much about training, but if I let them shorten the time to get familiar with riding, I have some ideas." Sun Quan suddenly whispered.

"Haha, I knew you kid was smart!" Sun Ce was overjoyed, and several other people also stared at Sun Quan.

"Brother Bohe, you bring a war horse in, I'll take a look!" Sun Quan stood up and said softly.

"No!" Sun He nodded.

Soon, several Jiangdong soldiers walked into the big tent with a war horse.

Sun Quan looked at the war horse, checked up and down, this is a Xiliang war horse, very tall, but the equipment on it is very simple, in addition to the reins of the horse, there is also a simple mat, nothing else.

If Sun Quan's memory is not wrong, the stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes, which are set on the body of the war horse, should not appear in history until after the Jin Dynasty.

"Second brother, what are you looking at?" Sun Ce was a little confused.

"I didn't see anything, I thought of a little idea, you continue to train, send me back to the city, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow!" Sun Quan looked at the war horse and inspected it very carefully, and then stood up and said.

"Okay!" Sun Ce believed in Sun Quan very much, called a few soldiers, sent Sun Quan back to the city, stayed by himself, planned to live in the barracks, and began to train cavalry in a down-to-earth manner, after all, this was the first unit that Sun Jian handed over to him, and he attached great importance to it.

Sun Quan, escorted by several cavalrymen, returned to the Sun family's mansion, and soon got into his small study, and began to recall the structural pattern of the three treasures on this horse.

It took more than an hour to fully draw the pattern, and it was already afternoon.

"Uncle Hou!" Sun Quan called the housekeeper of the Sun family.

"Second son!" Sun Hou, the old man who has followed Sun Jian since he was a teenager, is loyal to Sun Jian, unwilling to lead troops, has been a housekeeper for Sun Jian, and manages the Sun family in an orderly manner, and only returned to Wu County with the people of the Sun family a few days ago.

"In Wu County, is there a workshop for making swords in the industry under the name of our Sun family?" Sun Quan asked, there is a big workshop under the name of the county guard, but now this thing is not really tested, and it is not suitable for large-scale production.

"Yes, there is, but it's just a small workshop, you can only make ordinary swords, you can't make good weapons, if you want to make weapons, you can go directly to the big workshop." Uncle Hou said respectfully.

"No, just those who can make swords, Uncle Hou, please run for me, let them make this for me, remember, you must keep it secret, whoever dares to leak it, I will kill him!" Sun Quan handed over the drawings to Houbo.

"No!" Uncle Hou's expression was shocked, he obviously felt the chill on Sun Quan's body, and quickly nodded, took the drawings, and walked out.

After watching Uncle Hou walk out, Sun Quan's small body sat on the chair, sighed slightly, and said to himself: "Hey! This soldier still needs to be trained, and he has to come up with some ideas! ”

"How is this soldier going to train?" Sun Quan was silent.

Immediately after he left his own courtyard, walked out of Sun Jian's study, began to rummage through the cabinets to find Sun Jian's military books, Sun Jian's collection of books is a lot, and most of them are military books, this era, although paper has appeared, but the cost is extremely high, and there is no large-scale use, there are still a lot of books written on bamboo and silk.

Sun Quan struggled to read, and it wasn't until dark that he found some books that were useful to him, and then moved him back to his study in one go, and while reading, he thought about the outline of military training.

But after pondering until the middle of the night, I still didn't have much of a clue.

The next day, early in the morning, Sun Quan slept in a hazy mood, so he let Sun Ce, who broke in, pull him up, and he could only get up helplessly, wash up, have breakfast, and then take a big wooden box given by the housekeeper and go straight to the barracks.

"Pull a war horse!" After entering the cavalry barracks, Sun Quan was a little impatient to try the effect of the cavalry three treasures he had made in advance.

"Second son, what is this?"

"Second brother, this thing looks good!"

Sun Ce, Zhou Tai, and Sun He all looked overjoyed when they saw it, and they could see the preciousness of these three things at once with their long-term horseback riding eyes.

"This is a stirrup, which has a great effect when getting on and off the horse or running and leaping on the horse to fight, so that the cavalry's feet can have a force point!" Sun Quan introduced the three pieces of equipment he brought to the war horse.

"This is the saddle, you see, its main function is to stabilize the figure of the warrior on the horse, and when riding a horse, it is more comfortable."

"The last one is a horseshoe, nailed to the horse's legs, as if we want to wear shoes, and the horse also needs it, and with the horseshoes, we can avoid unnecessary injuries to the horse's hooves!"

It took half an hour for Sun Quan to put all three pieces of equipment on a war horse, and then he asked a few people, "Which of you will try it and see how it works?" ”

"Second son, I'll come!" Zhou Tai stood up, stepped on the stirrups, turned over the horse, rode out of the tent, and began to run on the school field.
