Chapter XVII

As soon as Lu Bu and the others arrived in Hanoi, they asked someone to bring a message to Wei Xu and asked him to meet him in a restaurant in the east of the city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Lu Bu and his entourage arrived first, ordered a table of dishes and waited for Wei Xu, leaving Gao Shun to greet him at the door.

Not long after, Gao Shun led a tall man in, this person was extremely muscular, and the samurai uniform on his body was bulging, and standing with Gao Shun was like two mountains.

As soon as Wei Xu sat down, he took the initiative to chat with everyone, and after learning that Lu Bu and others wanted to join the army here in order to do a career in the future, he immediately said: "It just so happens that there will be conscription in the military camp these days, and you will be surrendered to my account at that time, and directly let you be a chief for me, and it is convenient for me to take care of you if there is something else in all aspects, after all, we are all fellow villagers, and Ah Shun is my sister's husband, and I will definitely help with anything." ”

The banquet was dispersed, Gao Shun sent Wei Xu away, Lu Bu frowned and said to Zhang Liao: "Since it is the time for conscription, then let's just join the army directly according to the regular recruitment procedures, I think we will be helped by others in this way, and we may not be able to train us." Lu Bu was always worried about whether he could improve, after all, he had the strongest man in the world who was always comparing.

Zhang Liao thought about it carefully and responded: "I think it's okay, anyway, we newborn calves should also try to polish as much as possible in difficulties, no matter what, we don't want to be a group of ordinary people in the future." ”

"What's fine? How to polish? Gao Shun came back after sending Wei Xu back, and he was hearing what Zhang Liao said.

Zhang Liao relayed Lu Bu's thoughts to Gao Shun, Gao Shun frowned and said: "I don't object to us deliberately exercising more, but just now people have already discussed it with us, so we regret it a little bit of a kind feeling." ”

"Then let's split into two groups, some people go to join the army normally, and some people go to Wei Xu's side?"

Lu Bu's eyes lit up, and they immediately looked at Guo Fan and Tu Jing tacitly......

It was a hot afternoon, the sun hung in the air and baked the earth, everything was as if it was on the grill, and there was a long queue in front of the Hanoi barracks, all of whom had no livelihood skills and wanted to come to the barracks to eat.

Li Si sat in front of the camp gate and kept asking the people who came to sign up for some basic information, and at the same time to observe whether the physical condition of the applicants could be a good soldier, after all, it was not a war time, and the demand for soldiers was not urgent, so the quality of the soldiers should be higher.

"Name."

"Wang Er."

"Age."

"Twenty."

"Spearmen Team Nine, go get your equipment. Next! ”

Three people came up in a row.

"Name."

"Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun."

"Age."

"Sixteen."

Li Si couldn't help but raise his head and look at the person who signed up, sixteen years old, just an adult, but he is still three children, to be a soldier?

However, Li Si was not interested in other people's affairs, and immediately said: "Spearman Team Nine, go-"

"Big brother, wait a minute."

Li Si raised his head impatiently: "What are you doing!" ”

"Big brother, I heard that you have a cavalry quota here, you see ......"

"Cavalry, you still want to be cavalry! Don't look at it either—"

Zhang Liao quietly handed over a bunch of money, "Big brother, we all grew up riding horses, and our riding skills are absolutely reliable, and we even brought horses by ourselves, you see ......"

"Earlier, Cavalry Team Six, go get the equipment. Next! ”

Zhang Liao smiled smugly at the other two.

The three of them changed into soldiers' armor and were issued a spear with a wooden pole, which can be regarded as one of the soldiers of Hanoi City.

This was followed by three months of intensive training, in which they practiced the basic movements of riding and the stabbing of horses every day, and in order to use horses, they had to train them.

Although Ma Tong is human, he is a beast after all. In order to make it better accept the knight's intentions and make the horse's power a profitable consumption, it should be people-oriented, and try to communicate the relationship between men and horses, so as to make people and horses integral. In this regard, it is not easy, and it is quite necessary to carry out meticulous and patient ** on the war horse, so that it can establish a "post-effect behavior". Under normal circumstances, the trainer must maintain a close, peaceful relationship with the warhorse. Even if it is a fierce horse, it is necessary to caress it, relieve its itching, provide clean drinking water, add grass and materials, and wash it frequently, so as to relieve its fear and increase the emotion between people and horses. The domestication process carries a great influence factor. The difficult action of taming war horses is inseparable from the harness, and the three are interconnected with each other to form a sensitive conduction system. Training war horses to lie down is an example. Pull one side of the slow rope, transmit to the horse, the bit, the horse's gums, and the corners of the mouth to produce an unbearable sense of oppression, force the horse to lie down, after lying down, immediately ease the reins, relieve the pressure of the hip on the mouth corners, gums, and at the same time give praise or rewards to the horse, including food rewards. If the war horse wanted to comply, it could be punished appropriately. So pull one side of the rein—one horse's head is deflected—one is pressed against the corners of the gums—one is down, one is eased—the side reins—one is relieved of the pressure on the corners of the gums—praise or reward.

Not only did the cavalry need to ride firmly on a horse that galloped on a rough road, but also had to move freely on the horse, and practice a set of complex movements, such as shooting arrows from the bow to the left and right in the forward, backward, left and right; Swing your weapon and strike the opponent steadily and accurately; For the enemy's swift slashing stabs, it can safely dodge or shift the dial ....... This is a necessary skill for cavalry. This alone is much more difficult than the infantry to exercise the bow and fight. Because the infantry is standing on the ground, or half-kneeling, or with their feet open, drawing and opening the bow, the foundation is stable, it is easy to use the strength of the whole body, the radiation range is longer, and the degree of accuracy is higher. However, the cavalry is sitting on a horse and aiming and opening the bow, the horse is walking or galloping, the base is in motion, and at the same time, the target may also be in motion. This is an operation in an interactive situation, and there are two difficulties: it —,— limit the strength of the whole body, especially the strength of the arms, to a certain extent, and second, the accuracy of the middle is reduced, so it is not a day's work to practice the technique of hitting the opponent accurately and effectively, but is the result of long-term and arduous training under strict teaching.

After all, all three of them have strong physical fitness, and they have indeed been horses for so many years, and these three months are relatively easy compared to others. The rest of the soldiers were already flipping and fighting on their horses when they fell off their horses repeatedly.

It is very common to learn how to kill some people when they are thrown off their horses by the reaction force, but the three of Lu Bu can always master the trick of power, as if they were born to be generals on horseback.

The three people who stood out from the crowd have been noticed by everyone since this time and have become no small celebrities in the barracks. Of course, there are also people who want to suppress newcomers to "communicate", and after being beaten back by Lu Bu and them for a few waves, no one wants to touch this mold.

At the end of the three months, there is a unified recruit competition, in which the soldiers fight one-on-one, and the winner goes to the next round of the competition until the final 10 are decided, and the captain in charge of them promotes these 10 to the rank of captain when arranging the final sub-battalion.

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun all advanced to the top ten without exception and won the title of Wu Chang, but they were also assigned to different teams, but fortunately, they were all in the same barracks, not far apart.

And Tu Jing Guo Fan stayed by Wei Xu's side, and became a personal soldier for Wei Xu, and he was treated with the chief, and he lived a nourishing life.

The barracks in Hanoi have a total of 5,000 people, led by Wei Xu, Hao Meng, and Zhang Yang.

The team assigned by Lu Bu was the cavalry department of the second battalion led by Hao Meng, with only 800 horses in total, and it was also the only cavalry in the garrison.

During this time, there were normal exercises every day, and there was no war, but I heard that after a month, Hao Meng would lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to suppress bandits, and everyone trained very hard, after all, no one wanted to go to the battlefield because they were not strong enough to die there and not come back.
