Chapter 855: The Beijing Army is Difficult to Train
"But I also know that the march and war can't all be fought alone, and the group of people you brought still have the ability to fight." Fei Yang Tahun said, "Among them, the four most refined are artillery, spearmanship, swordsmanship, and ambush, if your subordinates were like this back then, and they did not defeat Japan and Russia, it was really bad luck, and it was definitely not a disadvantage in battle." ”
"I'm relieved that you can say something like that." Lin Yiqing patted Feiyang Tahui's shoulder and nodded with a smile.
"I also want to be able to compete with the Japanese and Russian tiger and wolf armies one day." Feyan Tahun remembered the short knife that his mother had used to put under the pillow, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart.
"There will be a chance," Lin Yiqing looked at Feiyang Tahun curiously, "If you fight with the Russians, it will take a few years, and if you fight with the Japanese, it will be in the next two years." ”
"Oh? It's true? A look of surprise flashed in Feiyantahun's eyes.
"I came back so quickly, in fact, it was related to the Japanese." Lin Yiqing said, his eyes suddenly fell on the end of the handle of the short knife exposed under the pillow of Feiyang Tahui, leaned down and stretched out his hand, and took out the knife.
"Good knife, but this knife ornament looks like it was for a woman." Lin Yiqing said while playing with the short knife in his hand.
"Yes, this knife is a relic left by my mother." Feyantahun remembered last night's dream again, and his voice couldn't help but become a little hoarse.
"Oh." Lin Yiqing nodded, returned the short knife to Fei Yang Tahun, and pulled out a short knife from his back waist with his backhand and handed it to Fei Yang Tahun, "This is for you." ”
Feyan Tahun took the short knife and examined it closely, and the handle of the knife was ivory, carved with a beautiful curly pattern, and inserted into a thin triangular leather sheath with gold filigree patterns. The production was very exquisite, and Fei Yang Tahui pulled out the knife, and was surprised to find that the blade was actually in the shape of a curved snake, which was very strange, and the blade was covered with flowing water patterns.
"This is a gift from the King of Vietnam, and it is said to be made of meteorite iron that fell from the sky. It's very sharp. It's Malay," Lin Yiqing said, "I heard that you like swords, so I'll give it to you." ”
Seeing that Lin Yiqing actually gave himself the precious gift given by the king of Vietnam so casually, Feiyang Tahun was moved for a while.
"In this training for a while, the performance of the children of the eight departments outside the gate should be better than that of the capital, right?" Lin Yiqing asked.
"Hehe, how do you say that? If I decide, I'd rather have all the eight departments outside the Guan, these gentlemen in the capital. It's best to leave none of them. Fei Yang Tahun smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that Prince Jing won't agree." ”
"Let's go, come with me to have a look." Lin Yiqing smiled slightly, "Let me also see and understand." ”
"Riding and archery is the foundation of my country, you can go to the training ground first to see how the Xiao cavalry camp is practiced, haha." Feyantahun squeezed his eyes and suggested.
The training ground of the Xiao Cavalry Camp is located at the foot of Yan Mountain on the northeast side of the capital. Yanshan is not very high. Along the winding mountain road, you can see gray stone towers towering over the top of the mountain. The first step in mountain riding training is for the rider to ride his mount to the tower and back.
The warm mountain breeze blows leisurely, and the short-horned yak sways away. The scorching sun hanging overhead reminded Chengxiang Baylor that he hadn't eaten since early in the morning, and looked down at the bottom of the mountain, where the layers of trees stretched thin until the edge of the Yong'an River, looking very rich. Cheng Xiang stared into the grass with round eyes, hoping to find some fruit to fill his stomach.
"Drive! Drive! A crisp shout accompanied by the crisp sound of horses' hooves came from behind him. Cheng Xiang looked sideways, and a black shadow mixed with the red cloud floated over like a wind. The horse is a jujube red horse. On horseback sat a young girl.
She wore a black bodysuit, a pair of black moccasins, and a dark green velvet belt around her waist with spotted leopard skin soft armor. A pair of eyes are unusually clear, as bright as the evening moon and stars, and a pair of lips are plump and ruddy. Gorgeous as a midsummer peony.
A man rode like a whirlwind past Chengxiang and his oxen and went forward. Cheng Xiang put his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly, and shouted hoarsely: "Beauty! Belle! ”
"Phew!" The girl reined in her wrists, and the red horse galloped in a hurry, and was pulled to her feet, and her two hind feet took four or five steps on the hard mountain road before stopping.
"What do you do?" The shining eyes swept over Cheng Xiang's face like lightning, looking him up and down.
"Your posture on horseback is so beautiful that you can't help but scream. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Cheng Xiang smiled and offered his courtesy.
As a poor Belle, he had too many ways to please women.
The girl pulled the jujube red horse and circled: "Are you a martial artist?" ”
"yes, yes, I'm the same one."
"How did you ride a cow?"
"I was framed."
"Let's go get a different one. Riding this thing up here is looking for death. The girl looked up at the stone tower, and then down at the way she came, and took the reins and walked side by side with Chengxiang.
"It's okay, I don't want to stay here long anyway. My name is Mullinde? Chengxiang, dare to ask the girl's surname Fang? ”
"Lu Xianying."
"Good name. It's as beautiful as a human. Cheng Xiang grinned, not thinking much about her surname and origin.
"I don't want to stay here longer, so what are you going to do?"
"I want to make a difference." Quan Chengxiang's chest was straight, and he continued in a low, bold voice, "Use my life to make meritorious contributions and glorify my family." ”
Lu Xianying's bright eyes suddenly flashed with bright light, and Cheng Xiang hurriedly raised his hand to block his eyes.
"Make a difference." She repeated softly, "It's a great place to learn how to make a difference." As she spoke, she snapped the reins: "Ha! Ha! When the red horse heard the shout, it kicked its hooves and shot out like an arrow.
"Girl!" Cheng Xiang shouted, "Girl! ”
Lu Xianying's figure rushed out from the upper layer of the winding mountain road, raised his hand and waved it at Chengxiang, and went up non-stop.
Cheng Xiang grabbed the thick fur of the yak a little bored: "Why didn't she chat with me?" ”
The riders who had already gone up the mountain ran down from the opposite side one after another, and the yaks under the Chengxiang seat were tall and big, and they attracted some eyes. Lu Xian went up the mountain and down like the wind, and showed a deaf attitude towards Cheng Xiang's greetings, which made Cheng Xiang feel more bored in his boredom.
It was noon to register under the stone pagoda and then turn the bull's head down the mountain. Cheng Xiang led the cow and asked if there was anything to eat, and he was very much met with the reception rider's eyes.
He rode on the back of the ox and tried to make the yak go faster. I don't know if it's for safety or because I'm tired, but the yak goes down the mountain at a much slower pace than when it goes up. Cheng Xiang rolled his eyes helplessly.
The two mounts rushed from the opposite side side by side, and Cheng Xiang recognized it, on the left was Lu Mingyan, and on the right was his brother Lu Mingyang, both of whom were the sons of Lu Lishan, the Duke of Wucheng. The two of them wore the same brocade boots, and they both rode BMW horses of the same coat color.
The two of them brushed Chengxiang's side in astonishment, and suddenly understood that he was riding on a cow, and couldn't help laughing.
Lu Mingyang rolled off the horse's back with a smile, he hooked the stirrup with one foot, pulled the reins with the other, hung in the air and bent over with laughter.
Lu Mingyan also smiled: "Don't look down on him, he is very good at archery." ”
Lu Mingyang laughed and jumped off the horse to sign, then ran back and jumped on the horse's back to catch up with Cheng Xiang: "Hey, genius." Riding a bull and shooting arrows is very stable, right? You can join the Armament Department of the Ministry of War as a research document, specializing in how to accurately use a crossbow machine on the back of a stable ox. Hahahaha! Hahahaha! ”
Xiang Baylor turned his head indifferently and looked at him indifferently: "Shallow." He concluded.
"Bull riders are also qualified to say that others are shallow?" Lu Mingyan saw that he was strong on the outside and tried to save face, and laughed even more fiercely.
"How do you know that this is the mount of the people of the Snowy Land, and its name is Ox. It is a confidential product that our officers and men have painstakingly worked to research. The characteristics of consuming cattle are that they sit like a clock, stand like a pine, be quiet like a virgin, and move like a rabbit. Don't look at its appearance, but it is a good helper for charging into battle. A hundred years ago, the people of the Snowy Land used this kind of mount to defeat the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong's thief army that had entered the Snowy Land. ”
"Oh?" Lu Mingyang turned his face to Lu Mingyan. "Really?"
Lu Mingyan looked at Cheng Xiang's face and sighed: "Let's go, Mingyang, don't waste time on him." ”
"Hey, hey. I hate you most in my life for a coward who runs away with his tail between his legs. Xiang Beile triumphantly patted the short horn of the yak, "Look at this horn, it is so sharp that it can open the intestines of your war horse and make your blood flow." ”
Lu Mingyan turned his face to look at Xiang Beile: "The name of the mount under your crotch is short-horned yak, yak." It's not a drain. The rest of Zhang Xianzhong's troops were wiped out in Sichuan, and there was no one who escaped into the snowy region to defend Tibet. The Tibetans have never used this cattle on the battlefield. This yak was used by merchants who went to the Sichuan-Tibet area to carry goods on the road, because the merchants did not use it too much, so the rest was left behind, which was purchased by the Xiaoqi battalion. Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, knowing is knowing. ”
"Do you have anything to eat?" Cheng Xiang's face did not change color, and the corners of his mouth were pursed without beating. "Lord Belle, I've been hungry for a long time."
"Huh!" Lu Mingyang raised a big finger in admiration, "Your face is so thick." ”
Cheng Xiang nodded with a smile: "General, the third in the world." ”
"Let's go, the people behind are coming up." Lu Mingyan said.
Lu Mingyang nodded: "The fighting power of the Tibetans is very weak, right?" Use this stuff as a mount. ”
"Not really." Lu Mingyan urged the horse to move forward, "I heard that when the Tibetans were fighting, they bolted firecrackers on the tail of the ox, which frightened them, and they could really break the intestines of the enemy soldiers and horses when they ran. It's just that the survival rate of yaks is very low and they can't breed in large numbers, so the Tibetans have not been able to form a powerful fire bull formation. ”
Lu Mingyang reined in his horse and looked back at the short-horned yak under Chengxiang's crotch seriously: "Frightened? ”
"I've only heard about it, and I don't know how the frightened cow can manipulate it." Lu Ming said.
Lu Mingyang squinted his eyes and nodded slowly: "We can test this." Saying this, he unbuttoned his cloak, turned out the big red lining, and put it in front of the yak's eyes and shook it: "Hula! Hula! ”
Cheng Xiang pointed to Lu Mingyang's nose and laughed: "It's a shame that a big man actually wears red clothes!" The little daughter-in-law is wearing red. ”
"Hula! Hula! ”
"Hahaha!" In order to show his contempt for red, Cheng Xiang laughed even harder.
The yak suddenly stopped, snorting through its nose.
Cheng Xiang was stunned, "Huh? How did it stop? Before the words fell, the yak jumped up and pounced on Lu Mingyang's cloak, Lu Mingyang didn't expect the cow to react so quickly, and his body almost fell off the horse. He straightened his back, hooked the stirrup firmly with his left foot, and hung his body flat in the air. With his right foot raised, he kicked the horse in the thigh with the spur of his heel, and the horse neighed and ran down the hill. He shook the cloak in his hand and kept teasing: "Hula! Hula! ”
The yak's wide, blood-red eyes chased him closely. Cheng Xiang suddenly realized, Tie Qing grabbed the two horns of the yak with a face and shouted: "Are you crazy? ”
Lu Ming raised his toes hard, his body spun like a windmill, and he returned to the saddle with his legs. While shaking the cloak even more fiercely: "This is for research, this is valuable information." ”
Cheng Xiang clutched the horns desperately: "Don't make trouble!" If you don't do it, you'll die. ”
"The people of the world will thank you."
Cheng Xiang only felt that the warm mountain wind suddenly became cold, blowing himself into a cold sweat, and the yak under his crotch was jolting up and down, like a boat in a storm, rising and falling helplessly.
A sour gastric juice puffed into his throat and forced him to vomit, he gritted his teeth and held back: "Big brother, big brother, you run slowly, big brother, you run slowly." ”
"Brother, you have to hold on." Lu Mingyang shook his cloak even more fiercely, "Such a fierce cow." Combat power must be the first, big brother, I will be disemboweled by it and I will fulfill you! ”
"Don't bother you! I didn't want to ride it. ”
"It doesn't matter if you don't go into battle, you have to maintain a strong style!"
Turning the col, a large group of riders on the road urged the horses to run. Lu Mingyan stood up from the horse while looking at Cheng Xiang and shouted, "Get out of the way!" The cow was shocked! Get out of the way! ”
The riders hurriedly reined in their horses, and one horse could not hold its feet and slid down the hillside. Lu Mingyan was taken aback, jumped up in the air, hugged the rider and jumped off the horse, and the horse was light. Leap back to the trail.
Lu Mingyan put down the rider and jumped on his horse to chase down: "Stop!" Mingyang! Dangerous! ”
Lu Mingyang was also startled, he turned his cloak over and tied it around his neck and turned around to try to pull the reins of the yak. The yak poked his body with red eyes and an erect horn. Lu Mingyang tried a few times but didn't catch it, and was a little anxious: "This cow is shocked, I can't stop!" ”
"Shake off the cloak!"
"I turned it over."
"It's useless! The ox is not startled because it is red, but because of the fluctuation of the cloak. ”
Lu Mingyang tore off his cloak and threw it on the road, and the yak jumped on it and kicked it, standing on the thick hair on its neck. The heavy back was undulating like waves, turning Chengxiang upside down.
"Drop, fall, fall, fall!" Cheng Xiang looked sideways at the steep hill and shouted in panic: "Keep running!" Run to the ground! Are you old man going to fall me to death? ”
Lu Mingyang waved his cloak and urged the horse forward, but the ox lowered his head and continued to kick the rags on the ground. Lu Mingyan caught up from behind, untied his cloak, wrapped the reins, circled the horse, and circled the ox: "Find a chance to jump down!" He shouted at Cheng Xiang.
Cheng Xiang struggled to raise his head when he heard someone screaming, trying to see the situation around him clearly, but the gastric juice and rice residue that was holding in his throat sprayed out of his mouth and nose with his head up, sprinkling Lu Mingyan's face.
Lu Mingyan only felt a dizziness in his brain. Almost fell off the horse. But the ox looked up at the cloak in his hand at this time, and roared forward. Lu Mingyang didn't want to think about it, so he grabbed Lu Mingyan's arm and picked him up and threw him behind him, but Lu Mingyan's mount was cut by the sharp horns of the yak, and he was picked up in mid-air and fell down the cliff.
Lu Mingyang stopped Lu Mingyan's waist with his backhand, urging the horse to rush down the mountain, and the yak's eyes were once again focused on the cloak, spewing water vapor to chase after him.
Cheng Xiang spit out one after another, and he didn't know how many times he spit out, before his chest and abdomen gradually relaxed. He raised his head and looked around, only to see Lu Mingyang carrying Lu Mingyan and rushing towards the training ground: "Get out of the way!" The cow was shocked! Get out of the way! ”
Seeing that there were many people gathered in the training ground, Cheng Xiang's spirit couldn't help but perk: "Help!" Help me! He cried out hoarsely.
Lu Xianying jumped on the jujube red horse in one step, caught up from behind in a circle and pulled the horse's head, the jujube red horse was bent by her strong wrist force, and it was attached to the side of the yak, Lu Xianying reached out and grabbed Xiang Beile's belt, pulled it into his arms, and Chengxiang's belt was pulled down with a swish. The yak leaned fiercely, and the red horse was knocked and staggered and fell away.
Lu Xianying shouted angrily: "Why can't such a big person even wear a belt?!" ”
Zheng Huaiguang, the leader of the racecourse, leaned in from the other side and tried to wrap up with Lu Xianying, but the yak kicked its hind legs in the air frantically so that they could no longer get close. The horsemen close to the circle gate quickly moved the fence, Lu Mingyang urged the horse to rush into the wide horse pen, and the yak carried Chengxiang and Lu Xianying and Zheng Huaiguang to rush in. Lu Mingyang turned around and shouted, "Pull him down!" The river ahead! River! ”
Lu Xianying and Zheng Huaiguang coincidentally leaned up together, and the two horses dodged the cow's hooves at the same time, sandwiching the yak in the middle.
"Okay!" The riders outside the ring shouted, "Pull down!" Pull it down! The yak's body shook suddenly, and the war horse couldn't resist the huge yak, and was hit and rushed out.
"Oh!" People cried out in disappointment.
The riders came from all sides with their mounts. When the frightened yak saw the large herd of war horses, his eyes suddenly turned into red blood cells. "Moo!!" It raised its head and roared, and its loud voice overpowered the noisy war horses and spread throughout the training ground.
"Restrain it!" Lu Xianying pointed to the Yong'an River that was getting closer and closer.
Cheng Xiang looked in the direction of her finger, and the wide Yong'an River was illuminated by the bright sunlight into a winding white belt, and the waves were undulating.
He turned his head in horror and shouted at Lu Xianying: "River! River beauty! Save me! ”
Lu Xianying only felt dizzy in her brain, and she was almost so angry that she fainted: "Strangle! ”
"How do you reincarnate you?"
"Hold on to the reins!" Lu Xianying raised the reins in his hand to show him. Cheng Xiang frantically tugged around in the cow's hair, and finally found the cow's reins. (To be continued.) )
