was really righted by Pang Tong. The Fifth Company belonged to the cavalry section, and they had to learn anything about the cavalry.

For example, raising horses!

Shen Yun and Fang Cheng didn't expect that on the first day they arrived at the Fifth Company, they would actually deal with stinky horse manure.

Not only Shen Yun and Fang Cheng, but also hundreds of new students who arrived at the same time were cleaning horse manure on the horse farm. The lump of washbasin-sized feces really made their faces very colorful in an instant.

Fang Cheng and Pang Tong vomited on the spot. The vomit is called a painful one, and the momentum of a thousand miles is not much worse than the horse-drawn dung.

Of course, the reason why they vomited was not because the horse manure was too smelly and dirty, but because the Fifth Company asked them to clean up the lump of feces with temperature by hand...... Even if they were given masks and gloves, this also made the pampered people feel turned upside down...... In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhong Lisi also followed in the footsteps of Fang Cheng and Pang Tong, and ran out of the stable and vomited.

Only Shen Yun and Zhao Xintie blushed and cleaned up the last piece of feces. But when they came out of the stable, they also felt that the world was spinning - mainly because they had been holding their breath too long inside.

The Fifth Company stood behind the five of them, watched them coldly finish, and then gave the next order: "The five of you live here tonight. Remember, you are not allowed to leave the stable, and even if you poop and pee, you must do it in the stable. After saying that, he walked away.

", is this still going to live? It's a fucking shit. Pang Tong clutched his stomach beside him and shouted with a pale face.

They had only heard Shen Yun say "I/" before, and at first they didn't quite understand what it meant, and they deeply despised Shen Yun, who couldn't make up words but liked to say weird things. Today, they are finally able to deeply understand, for a while. The sound of "lying in the groove" flew inside and outside the stable.

Shen Yun hadn't told them that the "grass mud horse" was not a "creature", and it was estimated that they would despise it even more.

The five of them were classified as the first in the seventh platoon of the fifth company of the fourth cavalry section in 998. Wu Chang undoubtedly fell on Shen Yun's head.

However, none of these positions are fixed. At least in the military academy, the captain is on rotation, and he rotates every five days. As for the fifth company, it is not a formal army establishment, but a temporary establishment made by the military academy in order to manage the cadets well -- of course, the company commander is real, and after graduating from the fifth company, he directly entered the army as a company commander.

That is to say, after the graduates of these cavalry sections, they have to be readjusted and reassigned. Then he officially entered the army at all levels and served as a junior officer.

As for sweeping horse manure, this is a glorious tradition of the cavalry section. Every new soldier in the company had to start by sweeping horse manure.

Cavalry cavalry, first there are cavalry and then there are soldiers. How can you be called a cavalryman without a mount?

Sweeping horse manure in a stable is only the first step, and the next month. Shen Yun and the five of them had to stay in the stable and wait for the horses. There are all kinds of horses in the cavalry department, and it is not possible to draw a horse that can be called a war horse. The war horse is the most noble of all horses. It is also one of the most protected. In addition to war horses, there are also baggage horses, logistics horses, horses, and supply horses...... This is classified according to the different uses of horses.

Besides. There are also Hetao horses, Yunnan horses, Sichuan horses, Tibetan horses, and Dawan horses according to the region...... There are also Chinese horses, Han horses, Western Regions horses, and hybrid horses according to the breeding......

Shen Yun and the five of them had to keep in mind the characteristics, habits, work and rest, and domestication methods of various horses for a month. Later, they even had to remember what kind of manure different kinds of horses would pull out in different environments, and how much water they needed to drink to replenish their physical strength. In different situations. How much hay and how much feed to feed the horse can ensure the horse's physique; At the same time, it is also necessary to judge according to the manure pulled out by the horse, how much endurance the horse has, how long and how long the scale of the battle can be carried out, and so on.

That is, in the course of a month. All five of them had to become horse experts. Zhong Lisi joked that with this skill, even if he doesn't mix with the army, he can go to the countryside to be a veterinarian. In this regard, Pang Tong deeply agreed.

A month later, the five of them left the horse barn that they hated and helpless with the smell of horse manure, and stayed in the bathing pool for four hours, but when they dressed and went to see the fifth company, they still felt that the smell of horse manure on their bodies was full. As a last resort, Pang Tong made a special trip to the logistics department and asked for a bottle of deodorized perfume to sprinkle on his body. Others followed suit.

When the fifth company saw the five men standing in front of him who looked like women, his cold face suddenly clenched his teeth, and his cheeks moved: "Very good, are they all cleaned?" The next training," Speaking of which, the Fifth Company suddenly lost a little talk.

The experienced Pang Tong's eyes immediately widened, is this laughing? The commander of the fifth company is holding back a smile? What's going on?

For a month, the 5th Company would go to the stables every day, and in addition to supervising them, they were also responsible for teaching. In addition, the soldiers of the other five companies would also lead the horses from the stable to train or send them back for maintenance every day, so in the past month, the five of them have not seen the fifth company, but they have never seen this company commander smile. It's as if he never laughs.

But today, he was holding back a smile...... What's going on here? Too spooky?

Perhaps because he felt that it was really inappropriate for him to be like this, the Fifth Company simply turned around and said to Zhang Mo next to him: "Platoon Commander Zhang, let's talk about their next training!" With that, he walked away quickly.

Zhang Mo, Shen Yun and others are also familiar. Compared with the coldness of the fifth company, Zhang Mo is quite amiable. But at this time, he had been laughing silently for a long time, covering his sore stomach very vividly, and said, "Who, who asked you to wash so clean?" Also sprayed perfume......"

Shen Yun scratched his head and said suspiciously, "Don't you let you take a bath?" ”

"Not really, but, you ...... Hahahaha, I'm laughing to death! Forget it, I wrote out the training content, you can see it for yourself! Good luck! After speaking, Zhang Mo left with a smile.

Shen Yun opened the training in his hand and looked at it, and his face suddenly became very exciting.

Damn, no wonder the two of them are laughing so happily, it turns out that the next training project is "horse training", or is it fucking going back to the stable, they wash so cleanly and top a fart? I also sprayed perfume...... I/.

Horse taming. The main thing is to domesticate war horses. Although Shen Yun and the five people had come into contact with a lot of horses in the past month, in the final analysis, they were just taking care of them, not domesticating them. A real war horse requires careful training by cavalry.

War horses are the guarantee of a cavalryman's life, and they are also the closest companions on the battlefield. So for the taming of horses, every cavalryman did not dare to take it lightly.

After spending the horse training. Each of the five of them could choose a lightly articulated pony to be domesticated as the beginning of cavalry.

Generally speaking, the cavalry of the Han Empire will have countless horses in their lifetime, but the one that is really intimate is the one that they have domesticated with their own hands. Tame a horse. It is necessary to start from the time the horse is still young, if the training is not good. They would not really be able to start cavalry training and learning. And the ponies can't get past that. If the cavalry who came to choose could not be domesticated, they could only be reduced to baggage horses or logistics horses, and they would never be able to participate in the battlefield.

The horses are selected at the Northwest Horse Farm in Yuyang County. It was one of the horse production bases of the Han Empire. Every cavalry scientist who has passed the level of raising horses can choose a war horse and a reserve horse according to the Kanhe given by the company commander.

The Northwest Horse Farm is very large, occupying almost one-tenth of the grassland outside the eastern part of the later generations. When Shen Yun and the five arrived, they also found several acquaintances. It was also a robe that had gone through the training camp together. But if you look closely, there are still a few missing. After asking, I found out that the other few have not yet passed the horse breeding barrier, and they are still familiar with the horses in the stable!

"Damn. It was a life that was not human. However, I heard that among the recruits in this year's class, there is a strange man who has only been in the stable for five days and has come out, and he has picked up a jujube red Hetao horse here! "Jack-of-all-trades, Zhong Lisi came back to tell Shen Yun and the others after inquiring about the news.

"Oh? Passed in five days? He doesn't have horses at home, does he? Pang Tong said in disbelief.

"That's what I asked! But people say no, that's also a noble child, by the way, it's a fucking woman! Zhong Lisi said dejectedly.

Also, the five of them were locked up in the stable for a month before they finally got out, but they completed it in five days.

Speaking of which, among the five of them, Zhong Lisi was the first to get out of the customs, and in about fifteen days, he was already able to meet the requirements, but he felt that it was not interesting for him to go out first, so he continued to stay in the stable with his brothers. The slowest is Pontong. In the end, I barely got through.

However, it was also this month of getting along day and night, and the relationship between the five people also became intimate - except for Zhong Lisi, who would run Pang Tong from time to time.

In charge of helping them select their horses was a veteran of the horse farm, surnamed Chen, with the rank of second lieutenant. He is almost fifty years old this year, but his physique is still very strong, and it can be seen from the scar on his face that this man was also the best among the cavalry that year.

Second Lieutenant Chen glanced at the five of them a few times, held his chin and said, "The horses of the four of you are easy to choose, but you," he focused on Pang Tong for a while, and said helplessly, "It's almost the same to get a cow for you to ride!" ”

Pang Tong is a good character, and he is not annoyed by other people's sarcasm, so he said to Ensign Chen with a smile: "You always bother, if you can find a cow that is as fast as a horse, I will admit it." ”

Second Lieutenant Chen smiled at what he said: "There really is, do you really want it?" ”

Pang Tong's fat face suddenly collapsed: "Uh, sir, you don't really want me to ride a cow to the battlefield, do you?" ”

Zhong Lisi suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Haha, I didn't let you ride a pig, so be content!" Ignore him, sir, and give him the ox that runs as fast as a horse! ”

"You're going to hurt people, you!" Second Lieutenant Chen glared at Zhong Lisi, but didn't say much.

A group of six people rode the horses of the racecourse for two hours, and finally came to the horse gathering point of the racecourse. It's winter, and the horses are losing a lot of weight, but this is also the peak of farrowing, and all the mares are gathered to give birth.

Of course, it is impossible for Shen Yun and the others to hold the calf to domesticate, so it will take at least three or four years for people to ride!

The foals that Ensign Chen picked out for them were all foals that had been born for about three years, and the foals at this time would no longer be entangled with the mare, and their physique was considered to be long, but they were not strong enough. At that time, the relationship with the knight was also the deepest. It is the best time to domesticate war horses. It's all a matter of experience.

Of course, as a war horse. In addition to the growth time, the most important thing is the pedigree. In the Han Empire, the best war horse was the Hetao horse, which was tall and strong, explosive, and not inferior to the so-called European war horse for short distances. In particular, after the expedition of the Holy Ancestors, horse breeds were introduced and stocked on the Hetao Plain, and this kind of improvement work has been carried out continuously for hundreds of years. The Hetao horses are even better now than they were at their peak in history. Ninety percent of the empire's warhorses came from the Loop. Shen Yun and the others came this time, mainly for the Hetao horse.

However, what Second Lieutenant Chen introduced to them this time was not a Hetao horse.

"Sir, this seems to be a cross between the Middle Eastern Dawan horse and the Hetao horse, right?" Zhao Xin frowned, looking at the brown and black pony in front of him who was still shaking his head and staggering.

For the people who have been locked up in the stable for a month. It is not difficult to tell at a glance the origin of a horse from its size, hoof shell, mouth, etc.

Second Lieutenant Chen nodded: "Yes, this is a good horse!" Which of you wants? ”

Zhong Lisi looked up and down a few times. He opened the foal's mouth again. He touched his teeth, and even put some saliva from the foal's mouth and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and finally said, "Sir, this horse's mouth is almost four rounds, and it still looks like this, how can it be said that it is a good horse?" I don't want it! ”

Zhao Xin also saw this. So he said, "Yes, sir, this horse is still so short at four years old, and it is almost the same as a colt." When the war horse is a little worse, right? ”

Shen Yun was also quite curious, and stepped forward to take a closer look. According to common sense, the hybrid of Dawan horse and Hetao horse does not dare to say that it is 100% good, but when it is four years old, it should be able to grow to about 1.8 meters (from the horse's head to the footsteps), and the weight should reach about 450 catties. But the horse in front of him was obviously four years old, but it was less than 1.7 meters, and his body was thin, about 280 pounds.

Of course, the selection of a war horse must also be selected from the growth of the horse's skeleton and later developmental potential. Shen Yun carefully touched the limbs and back of this foal, it was straight and smooth, and the color of the fur was also brown and black with shiny colors, whether it was external or internal, it was the physique of a good horse, but why did it still look like this at the age of four? It's really puzzling. Could it be a mutation?

Second Lieutenant Chen saw that the five of them had seen it, but no one said yes, so he said with some regret: "Actually, I personally selected this horse for breeding, and I personally helped it to be born, and when I was born, I also thought it must be a good horse!" But I don't know why, I'm four years old, and I'm still like this. If no one picks it up in a few months, I'll have to put it in the pony......"

Shen Yun took a deep look at this veteran, and he didn't expect that he was still a lover of biological hybridization. The veteran could tell from the old man that he had put a lot of effort into the foal. Every time someone came to pick a war horse, he would first bring the horse out for someone to choose. But every time I can only reluctantly bring it back.

The foal also seemed to sense the sentimentality of the veteran, and actually came up, the horse's nose rattled a few times, and stretched out his tongue to rub against the veteran's face.

Zhong Lisi stepped forward and tugged at the reins, but the colt shook his head impatiently, and then snorted heavily, and saliva sprayed Zhong Lisi's face.

"Hahaha, should! Let you not choose someone else and pull it around! Pang Tong laughed. Seeing that Zhongli stinks, Pang Tong is always the first to go up.

In the midst of everyone's laughter, Shen Yun saw a touch of disdain in the pony's slender eyes!

Yes, just disdain!

That look was strange, almost human-like!

After staying in the stable for a month, Shen Yun didn't dare to say that there were countless horses, but he had also handled hundreds of horses, but none of them had ever shown such a look.

"I want this horse!"

Before everyone finished laughing, Shen Yun suddenly spoke.

Fang Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Yuan Rang, I'm afraid this horse is a different breed, and it won't grow anymore." It's a bit ...... to be a war horse."

Fang Cheng didn't finish his words, but the meaning was obvious.

Second Lieutenant Chen also looked at Shen Yun strangely: "Soldier, do you really want this horse?" ”

Shen Yun firmly took the reins from Second Lieutenant Chen's hand, looked at the little guy who had just reached his chest and smiled: "You also said, this is a different species, maybe it will surprise us in a few months!" ”

Ensign Chen was also very happy that someone took a fancy to the breed he had carefully cultivated, and immediately went to help the horse transfer with joy.

Then the other four people all chose their own horses, and then went to the horse preparation area to choose a horses. The main purpose of the horse is to march, of course, there are also horses that are used as horses when they are dead or wounded, but there are fewer such cases. Therefore, in the selection of horses, horses that are about to become adults are generally selected, speed is secondary, and the key is to have good endurance. Of course, horses like Yunnan horses, Sichuan horses, and Tibetan horses have good endurance, but they are really short horses that cannot be used as reserve horses, and can only be used as baggage horses or logistics horses.

In the end, all five of them chose the Hequ horse as a backup horse. This horse has good stamina, eats little, and can survive for a long time even by chewing grass roots, and the meandering mare produces a lot of milk, which can be used as a kind of logistical supply during the march. According to later generations, the Hequ horse should be regarded as a type of Mongolian horse, but not all. This type of horse is generally used as a mare in the march. Because in addition to providing mare's milk, the mare can also find their way. For the vast grassland, desert and even the Gobi, it is definitely worth celebrating to have a horse that knows the way.

Of course, real war horses are actually stallions, but they are to be surgically castrated. Stallions that also have the ability to breed will be furious on the battlefield, and it will be difficult for knights to control. For example, Shen Yun's foal is a stallion, but its personality is really tame, no matter how it looks, it doesn't look like a crossbred stallion, so Shen Yun didn't operate on it for the time being.

In the initial period of time, because of this docile foal, Shen Yun was ridiculed by Zhong Lisi and others. However, after three months, they couldn't laugh, and even deeply regretted that they didn't grab this war horse with Shen Yun in the first place! (To be continued.) )

PS: I won't work hard this month. Updates will still be there though. The main reason is to see that there is Qixi Festival this month, I am more traditional, I don't like to spend Valentine's Day in the West, but for the Chinese Qixi Festival, it is a must. (*^__^*)。 So I was determined that I wouldn't be able to get this month's full attendance, and since I couldn't get it, I wouldn't have to work hard.

Write a good book update, stress-free code words are king!

Of course, the lack of words in the update does not mean that the storyline will slow down, on the contrary, the plot will advance rapidly, and Shen Yun's military academy career will probably only be five or six chapters, and then he will enter the Northwest War!

Well, let's ask for a ticket in the end! Don't be stingy, okay? Give, give, give!
