Chapter 303: Ten Thousand Horses Galloping

"Your Excellency, please. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Gu Yan smiled and let go, his mood was also very excited, Lord Zhao came to inspect in person, indicating that he has been an adult for several years in his heart, and the horse farm is not as obscure as it seems.

Zhao Lie and his entourage were led by Gu Yan to an earthen platform.

"My lord, in a while, a large number of war horses will come out of the stable and run in circles." Gu Yan pointed to the large stable, which looked very magnificent from this angle.

Zhao Lie put his hand on the pergola and looked at it, hundreds of wooden houses are arranged in this radius of several miles, all of which are logs inside and yellow mud on the outside, which is not beautiful, but practical, after all, it is necessary to be warm in winter and cool in summer, but also to save expenses, which is the best way to build local stables.

Gu Yan and Silva took Zhao Lie to check the largest horse farm, all of which are breeding Shidao horses, and now Shidao horses are still the main force, and the Andalusian war horse population is too small, and it is not easy to grow.

There will be no major breakthrough in the number of Andalusian war horses in ten or twenty years, and Zhao Lie is now using the mixed-breed Shidao horse as the main force.

Gu Yan also knew that Lord Zhao was most concerned about the cultivation of Shidao horses, so he came to this largest horse farm on behalf of Zhao Lie.

In front of the platform where Zhao Lie was located was a fence with a radius of several miles, which was the place where the horses could move.

"My lord, in order to keep the horse's muscles strong, even in winter, I let out my legs and feet." Gu Yan looked at Zhao Lie's face and said.

"Well, you guys are good at this, you don't need to tell the general the process, I just want to be a war horse that is alive and obedient." There is a specialization in the art industry, Zhao Lie spent all this money and food just to get a war horse that can go into battle, and the others are floating clouds.

"Don't worry, sir. This horse farm has 1,500 mares. There are also ponies in their early 4000s who are more than 1 to 3 years old. Among them, there are more than 1,100 adult horses that are three to four years old, and Master Li Lu has been greedy for a long time. Gu Yan said with a smile.

He now controls more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000 servants, shouldering the heavy responsibility of raising war horses for the Broken Army, but to put it bluntly, he is a horse herd, and everyone in Jeju does not dare to offend him on weekdays, but how much attention is paid to that, to put it bluntly, in his opinion, it is not enough to raise horses.

But since the news came out that the horses were going to be slaughtered in large numbers. Li Lu is diligent and has a different attitude, which is a bit of a welcome, this is to see the success of raising horses, which is very similar to coming to a building near the water to get the moon first.

Gu Yan didn't dare to agree to let the horse go to him privately, this is what Lord Zhao is most concerned about, how important it is, he knows in his heart, Gu Yan can't stand it, and he allocated two good Shidao war horses to him. Don't dare to do anything else, otherwise Lord Zhao can't afford to blame it.

He spoke to the general. It's just that he has a good salvo of Jiannu here, what's the use of staying, riding and playing. Zhao Lie shook his head, "Gu Yan, the general will not hide it from you, the horses are not an army, and the broken army will not dare to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu for a day, do you know the critical place." ”

"What the adults said at the beginning, Gu Yan didn't dare to forget it for a day." Gu Yan bowed respectfully.

"You have worked hard here all these years, Ben will know in his heart, rest assured, Ben will never forget your merits, and your merits are stronger than those brothers who are in battle." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"Thank you, sir." Gu Yan's eyes were red, in this place where birds don't for more than three years, it was a job to raise horses, look at those old brothers' martial arts, look at their own family, it is impossible to say that there is no complaint, this time it is enough to have adults, all these years of lonely hard work have not been in vain.

patted Gu Yan on the shoulder and comforted him.

At this moment, there was a commotion, the neighing of horses was heard in the chaotic sound of horses' hooves on the ground, and from the back of several stables, hundreds of war horses galloped to the fence.

Korean servants on horseback on either side waved their whips and drove the horses straight to the entrance.

"Adults, please see, these are war horses that are more than three years old, and they can be slaughtered immediately." Gu Yan said excitedly.

With the sound of horses' hooves, these war horses came from far and near, their heads and tails intertwined, like a wave undulating, gray, maroon, black, brown-red manes fluttering, and the dust raised by stepping on them fluttered.

They move forward like a moving army formation, their shiny fur and throbbing muscles full of wild beauty.

Zhao Lie watched in fascination as this formation of strong muscles, flowing hair, and wild eyes rumbled by.

He sighed in his heart, no wonder people have loved horses in all their lives, this is really a magical animal, they can be ridden by humans, they can carry objects, they can go into battle to kill enemies, and they are closely connected with people, and they are inseparable from them.

Zhao Lie and the others stepped down from the earthen platform, came to the edge of the fence, and watched the scene of the horses neighing and jubiling.

"Are all the servants here Koreans?" Zhao Lie asked.

"Lord Bing, most of them are Koreans, after all, these people have been doing this for generations, and they don't have any skills, as long as they are not greedy, they can be used well." Gu Yan replied.

"They are satisfied with the money."

"My lord, of course they are satisfied, earlier the horse farm officials here were deducted, they could only get half a year's salary, other times it was hard, now it is full salary, if the horse is good, there will be a reward, how can you not be grateful to Dade." Gu Yan said with a smile.

"That's fine." Zhao Lie nodded, when to envelop these foreign clans, it has to be a combination of grace and power.

"Moreover, back then, they were just official slaves, all of them were slaves for generations who had been registered, and now that the adults have come to abolish their slave status, it is useless for the king of Joseon to kneel and beg them to go with him." Gu Yan smiled unkindly.

Zhao Lie shook his head slightly, how can I say this, now there are fewer Han people who have entered slavery from Shandong and Dongjiang to Liaodong, and those who stutter in order to survive are second to slaves. Da Ming couldn't give them a bite to eat, and it was not surprising that they fled to Liaodong.

It's ironic to think about it, but a few years ago, millions of Liao people fled Liaodong, and just a few years later, the Han people fled back to Liaodong, which shows the great influence of the ruler's governance on the people.

When the old slaves killed the Han people, the beacons in Liaodong were everywhere, and the Han people all fled, and Huang Taiji made good use of the Han Chen to lead the Han people to Tuntian, which in turn attracted a large number of Han people to defect, which is embarrassing to think about.

"My lord, the war horses in the horse farm come out to move, and the servants will take advantage of this time to take care of the stables, remove the filth, replace the meadows, and clean water, and put the horses into the stables after they are cleaned up, and the next batch of war horses will come out, so staggered, otherwise there will not be so many manpower." Gu Yan didn't know what Zhao Lie was thinking, so he explained the process of the horse farm to Zhao Lie by himself.

When it comes to the operation of the racecourse, Gu Yan is endless.

After lunch, the group went to a smaller horse farm, which was the place where Andalusian horses were bred and some confidential matters.

There are two checkpoints on the side of the road three miles away from this horse farm, both of which are controlled by the soldiers of Jeju Town and are heavily protected.

Zhao Lie and his entourage entered the horse farm and saw that more than 200 Andalusian war horses were trotting in the pen, and the servants drove them to let them run and exercise their muscles, after all, they were kept in the stable at night, and this was the only time for the war horses to move.

These war horses are larger than the Shidao horses, and if the shoulders of the Shidao horses are as high as the chest of ordinary people, the shoulders of these horses are as high as the necks of people.

The muscles and bones are exposed and the slender body does not reveal the wild beauty, like a divine beast, which is awe-inspiring, and it is really a masterpiece of heaven.

Zhao Lie took a good look at the heroic appearance of the Andalusian war horse, and led him to a remote fence in the racecourse under the guidance of Gu Yan.

Here, a small phalanx was waiting for Zhao Lie's arrival.

A hundred paces away, the flashes of Gothic armor kept flickering.

Fifty all-armored cavalrymen were sitting upright on their horses, silently facing Zhao Lie's direction.

"Salute." One of the hundred always shouted.

All the soldiers brushed their chests on their horses and saluted.

"Li Ming, the 300th chief of the cavalry of Jeju Town, pays a visit to your lordship." President Bai Li Ming bowed and said.

"You guys are in armor, don't be polite." Zhao Lie said while returning to the military salute.

The all-armored cavalry began to trot their horses, and the sound of heavy hooves rattled and shook the eardrums.

The reason why there is such a heavy roar is because these all-armored cavalry are not only full armor, but also full Gothic vests, and the horses plus two sets of ironclad weapons are extremely heavy, so the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground is very different.

The speed of the horses in the entire phalanx did not increase quickly, but it could be said that it gradually increased, because the armor was too heavy, and it was impossible to accelerate quickly, and it was even more unimaginable to gallop like a light horse.

Gradually, the horse speed was raised, and a large puff of smoke and dust rose, maintaining high speed, and the phalanx galloped at full speed, nearly a mile.

Then, under the order of Li Ming, the entire phalanx slowed down, gradually stopped, and regrouped.

These Andalusian horses breathed fiercely, and the white gas they spewed out was extremely rapid, several times faster than Fang Cai.

Suddenly, the phalanx of the whole team began to turn back and sprint, but this time it stopped after running more than 100 steps less than the previous one.

The whirring and panting of the war horse could be heard clearly by Zhao Lie, who was more than a hundred steps away.

"My lord, this phalanx was secretly planned by my lord, and now I have just formed an army, and the people and horses are all dressed in armor, and the power is endless, it's the same, they can't gallop for too long, and they can't be left alone, otherwise it's too clumsy." Gu Yan looked at Zhao Lie cautiously.

This small army formation has practiced many times after it became an army, Gu Yan has already discovered the strengths and weaknesses, the strong point is that this army formation is extremely protective, just like the top and bottom of the body are covered with iron cans, and he can't be injured when he is idle, and the impact is also strong, and the general cavalry is not enough to block it at all.

But the impact at full speed means that it can maintain a distance of nearly a mile, and it can't last, after all, the weight is too large, that is, this horse, if it is replaced by a Mongolian horse, it is not good to be able to run a hundred steps.

Zhao Lie just curled the corners of his mouth slightly, without words, yes, this military formation has weaknesses, but the strength is also extraordinary, equivalent to the armored vehicles of this era, if it is used well, of course, it is indestructible, otherwise it would be a joke to use him to pursue it guerrilla.

Zhao Lie had a good conversation with Li Ming and the others, and even rode a full-armor war horse for a while, and finally returned satisfied. (To be continued.) )
