Chapter 135: The Army of Tigers and Wolves
PS: I'm really sorry, yesterday the kid at home had a fever, and this update has been delayed! It's going to be updated a little later today and tomorrow!
In addition, thank you to a few book friends who voted for monthly tickets and rewards, I won't list the names one by one here, and work hard to code words to return!
The noise of people and horses is a little less lively than the noisy and noisy Wharf of the Sailor, but it is a little more fierce and ferocious.
"This place is the camp where Yang Zaixing's kid trains the cavalry?"
At this moment, among the group of people standing outside the camp of the Young Cavalry, Lu Zhishen, who was very arrogant, touched his bare head, pouted, and was full of disdain.
Yang Zaixing and his people, when they were on the mountain road at the junction of Qingzi and Zizhou, Lu Zhishen had seen it. At that time, he fought nearly a lily with the "blue-faced beast" Yang Zhi, although his strength was still slightly inferior, but he had such a strong martial arts at this age, and Lu Zhishen also had some appreciation in his heart. However, just a few days ago, I heard that this kid led nearly two hundred twelve or thirteen-year-old boys to train the cavalry, which was undoubtedly a joke for the "flower monk".
In terms of military training, Lu Zhishen may not be as good as Yang Zhi, Lin Chong and others who have family roots in theory and knowledge, but because he has really fought in the northwest battlefield and has been tempered by iron and blood, Lu Zhishen's experience in this area is unparalleled. As for what kind of soldiers are needed on the battlefield, I am afraid that among Ximenqing's current subordinates, no one has more say than him.
A half-grown boy whose own family is still underage, but wants to forge a strong cavalry army with almost no foundation, Lu Zhishen can only take it as a joke.
The music on the side and the shrewdness and ability, how can he not see what Lu Zhishen is thinking at the moment. Actually, for himself. When I first heard the news, I didn't think so. But after really seeing the training of these young cavalrymen, he had to admit it. These young men may not be the most powerful and disciplined soldiers in martial arts they have ever seen, but the kind of young tiger's sharpness, courage to fight for their lives, and courage regardless of sacrifice have a profound impact.
Maybe this is not an elite army now, but with time, the practice will be successful. These young men will surely become a wolf army that will be feared by the enemy in the future battlefield.
Yes, when Ximen Qing admonished Yang Zaixing and other young cavalrymen, he said that he wanted to become the best cavalry. You have to train yourself to be as ruthless and tenacious as a wolf. Only in this way can we gallop the world, dare to fight against any enemy that comes from it, and win the battle.
It is precisely with Ximenqing's words of admonition. The goal of this young cavalry is to achieve the prestige of the wolf army. Among them, the leader Yang Zaixing was even privately called "the head wolf" by those young men.
"Master Lu, the military camp here is important, and without the order of the benefactor, trespassers can be killed, which is an extremely safe place. The benefactor instructed that before the master went to Liaodong, there would be branches and temporarily take refuge here. ”
Lehe was ordered to go to the sea to meet this Lu Zhishen. Unexpectedly, he brought back another one, the yellow-faced man since he left the ship to Salmon Island. still didn't say a word, but he seemed to be cold and withdrawn, but he seemed to be a little more popular.
With the token issued by Ximen Qing on his body, a small group of young cavalry guarding the camp gate naturally would not stop him after checking the token, but those who could enter the camp were only Le He and Lu Zhishen, and the rest of the entourage still had to wait outside.
"Look at you, you should also have a means. Although that person's character is not very good, he is a man with eyes and hands, and if he can be valued by that person, he may not know if he will be blessed by misfortune. ”
Lu Zhishen muttered to the yellow-faced man, and then flicked the sleeves of his wide robe, and entered the camp gate with a very free and easy recreation.
Hearing this, the yellow-faced man's eyes flashed, and he just wanted to open his mouth after a little hesitation, but he didn't guard that Lu Zhishen had already gone away, and finally didn't say a word.
Let's say that Lu Zhishen entered the camp with Lehe, and the first thing that caught his eye was hundreds of sturdy war horses gathered together, driven by special people, and galloping back and forth.
When he was in the northwest, Lu Zhishen had also seen war horses, especially in the past few years to recover the land of Qingtang, the Great Song Dynasty finally obtained the land of horse breeding, and the Western Army exhausted its savings, and finally pieced together a pure cavalry field heavy cavalry corps, the Baiqi Army. This army has a total of ten commanders, 5,000 soldiers, and more than 10,000 war horses, of which only 30% of the good war horses can charge the battle with heavy armor.
And in front of him, Lu Zhi went deep into what he saw, these hundreds of war horses, all of them were the best of the best, with a sturdy body and a height of about seven feet, even if he had seen Yang Keshi's white army, he was secretly speechless.
That Ximenqing is really powerful, and he can get such a number of good horses, even in the northwest, such good horses are about two or three hundred yuan, and they are often priceless. Needless to say, these horses must have been produced in Liaodong in the north, and I heard that Hua Rong led the Dengzhou sailors to the north for more than three months, and from what I saw in front of me, I thought it was a lot of harvest.
It seems that that guy is not a fortunate minister who is bent on getting promoted in his official career and only knows how to welcome the official family. Being able to spend such energy and financial resources to reorganize the army, and also have a good understanding of the situation of the Northland Jurchens, it can be seen that their plans are far-reaching. Even if there is a loss in the small section, there is still a certain bottom line in the big place, which is much stronger than those who blindly loot the people and buy officials and bribes.
Ximen Qing poisoned Wuda for a woman and broke off the two arms of Huwu, after nearly a year of fermentation, but it has long been spread throughout the green forests in the north and south, Lu Zhishen had also heard about it before, and he robbed and killed him that day, which is also one of the reasons.
Although he despises his character, but he also admires his ability and means, Lu Zhishen also admires it a little, and it is no wonder that he can take a group of green forest strongmen for his own use, in fact, there is a reason.
"It's ......"
Crossing a large training area dedicated to the galloping and practice riding of war horses, Lu Zhishenle and the two of them walked nearly three miles before arriving at the accommodation camp of the young cavalry. At the back of the barracks, there is also a large training ground, but it is used for the sergeants and soldiers to exercise their physique and drill the formation.
Ximenqing's supply and logistics for the young cavalry can be said to be the best in the world, grinding rice and meat. But in the same way, the strictness of the requirements is unimaginable to ordinary people.
In the past, during the pre-Qin and Warring States periods, the infantry army was led by Wei Wushu and Qin Ruishi, and the cavalry army was the first to recommend the Zhao cavalry of "Hufu Cavalry Shooting". It's just that due to the long time, its practice method has been dispersed, and only in the later "Xunzi Discussion of Soldiers", there are still standards for Wei Wushu to select the front.
Wu Qi trained the martial arts, triple armor, holding a sword with a sword, operating a crossbow of 12 stones, carrying a crossbow arrow of fifty and three days of rations, half of which is a hundred miles. These standards are even worse than the high-ranking non-commissioned officers of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army!
But the Young Cavalry, any of them, can now complete such a long-distance run with a heavy load, not to mention that they are not really adults now.
Seeing the young man fighting with all his might in the smoky training ground, even if he didn't have the blade in his hand, he still faced each other with his fists and feet, his head hit his teeth and bitten, and his brave and domineering spirit made Lu Zhishen on the side dizzy.
This is the real army of tigers and wolves! (To be continued......)
