Chapter 52: The Barracks
After running around the field on a brown horse for five or six laps, the brown horse has been completely subdued by Wang Shaoan. In fact, Wang Shaoan didn't know that although this horse was not afraid www.biquge.info of death and was extremely difficult to tame, it was afraid of pain, especially pulling its mane. It was frightened by Wang Shaoan's constant pulling of his mane, so he obediently surrendered. Wang Shao'an was also a blind cat who met a dead mouse to surrender the brown horse so easily. It was his previous master, Wanyan Wushu, who raised it since he was a child, and finally when he surrendered it as a mount, he was also kicked by it and broke a rib in his chest.
"This horse is really good, high performance, high configuration, haha, drive!" Wang Shaoan muttered to himself. Riding a horse and running constantly, he personally felt the strength of this horse, and he was naturally happy to be able to subdue it.
"Huh~" Wang Shaoan rode his horse in front of everyone, and then pulled his mane back, and the brown horse neighed for a while, and stopped obediently.
"Hahaha, congratulations to Brother Shao'an, accept this batch of Black Wind BMWs!" Yue Yun arched his hand.
"It turns out that this horse is called Black Wind, and the name is quite windy, haha." Wang Shaoan laughed.
"Come on, lead the horse down, and put on the harness for the horse of the young man." The prince gave an order, and the servant who was waiting on the side led the brown horse down.
Then everyone had lunch together in the dining room, and the four young men left the palace and rode their horses out of the city towards the northwest gate to the camp of the Yue family's army.
The Yuejia army was stationed in a large basin more than 100 miles northwest of the city. The entrance to the basin had been blocked by a tall wooden fence, and a row of soldiers standing guard outside was neatly standing.
When the soldiers saw Yue Yun, they saluted one after another. Yue Yun turned over and dismounted, and said hello to the soldiers guarding it, and several soldiers led everyone's horses away. And the soldiers opened the high gate of the fence and let the people in.
The barracks were so large that it looked like there were at least 100,000 people stationed there. It was lunchtime, and the soldiers were sitting on the ground in groups of seven or eight eating and chatting.
"Brother Yue, the Twelfth Route Army of the Yue Family Army is majestic, known as 200,000 troops, but looking at it, how can this number only look about 20,000?" Wang Shaoan asked.
"Hey, Brother Shao'an doesn't know, since the armistice, the imperial court has been weakening my Yue's army. The Twelfth Route Army now has only two Route armies left. Not only was the Yue family army cut so badly, but the Han family army, as well as the two armies of Zhang and Liu, were all exploited and seized power. Now that the Yue family army can keep 20,000 horses, it is already a blessing in misfortune. Yue Yun was helpless and said with a sigh.
"This ...... If the imperial court does this, isn't it afraid that the Hu people will attack the south? Wang Shaoan asked.
"The Hu people are here, the emperor asked us to gather the old troops to the battlefield, and the Hu people haven't run away yet, and they want to return to the court. It's not surprising that it's so repetitive, get used to it! Yue Lei took over and said coldly.
"Hey!" Yue Yun sighed helplessly and continued: "Our Great Song Kingdom has so many soldiers who can fight well, as long as the emperor gives an order, the subjugation of the rivers and mountains in the north is just around the corner, but it's a pity that the traitorous ministers are in charge, and the emperor is wise and wise, but he listened to the slander of the villain." ”
"We are here to visit the barracks, these problems in the DPRK and China cannot be solved in a day or two, I believe that our Yuejia army will definitely have the day to conquer the rivers and mountains, and I will be the day of the Great Song Dynasty!" Zhao Xiaobai said.
At this time, a tall middle-aged man in armor walked out of the camp, the armor he was wearing was heroic, and at a glance he knew that he was a high-ranking general in the army. He clasped his hands into fists, bowed slightly, and saluted Yue Yun.
"See the young general, little prince."
"General Zhang doesn't have to be polite, this is Wang Shao'an, Prince Wang." Yue Yun introduced.
"Prince Wang, fortunately!" General Zhang bowed to Wang Shaoan.
"Presumably you are the famous General Zhang Xianzhang, long admiration!" Wang Shaoan returned the salute. Zhang Xian is one of the best generals under Yue Fei, who can fight well and make countless meritorious contributions with Yue Fei, and his merits are second only to Yue Yun.
"General Zhang, let the soldiers practice on time in the afternoon, so that the little prince and this little prince of Shao'an can see the demeanor of our Yuejia army." Yue Yun commanded.
"The last general commands." Zhang Xian responded with a fist and retreated.
At this time, Wang Shaoan suddenly remembered one thing, that is, when he entered the Shihua Pavilion that day, the fire hammer held by Wang Fat Man was holding a firearm, and it could fire two bullets in a short time, and this kind of firearm that was continuously fired in a short period of time could be regarded as a big killing weapon in the Song Dynasty. If the people have such advanced firearms, then there must be them in the army.
"Major General, can you take us to the armory?" Wang Shaoan asked.
"Brother Shao'an, don't call me so politely, just call me Qing, let's go, let's take a look at the armory."
After walking for a while, Wang Shao'an found that this military camp was set up in a special and regular manner, with a large open space in the middle for drilling, a burying pot for cooking on the periphery of the open space, and a barracks, stables and grain and grass piles outside. The tents are distributed on both sides, facing each other and not connected together, so that if a fire breaks out, one tent will burn and the others will not be affected.
Yue Yun led a few people to the door of a neat row of barracks, lifted the coarse cloth curtain, and let everyone go in first, and he was the last to enter it.
"See Major General." There were also soldiers standing guard inside, and after seeing Yue Yun, they all clasped their fists and saluted.
This row of tents is the same, from the first to the last. Inside are neatly stacked with spears, longbows, recurve bows, crossbows, and a large number of bows and arrows, which are the most demanded military supplies in the era of cold weapons.
Walking slowly inside, Wang Shaoan looked at the weapons in the ancient barracks, he took out a knife and looked at it carefully. The handle of this knife is slender, the handle is rounded, and the blade is also slender from the scabbard, and the head is slightly upturned. It is somewhat similar to the Japanese katana, except that it is much longer than the katana.
"This is the razor-sharp sword, isn't it?" Wang Shaoan slowly drew out the knife, the cold light flickered, and at first glance, it was an extremely sharp knife.
"This is the horse chopping knife, the knife is light, flexible and extremely sharp, and it is a great nemesis of the Hu cavalry." Yue Yun said.
Wang Shaoan put down the saber and continued to walk forward. There are still all kinds of cold weapons, spears, halberds, swords, etc., and these cold weapons are still dominant in the era of cold weapons. When I reached the other end of the tent, I realized that there were different weapons. Some of them were burned black, and the mouth was large and the bamboo tube was small. Wang Shaoan took out one and looked at it, and there was a trace of the smell of burning nitrate on it.
"This is the assault gun, right?" Wang Shaoan asked again.
