Chapter 10 Acceptance

After coming out of the main hall, Qin Dong immediately ran back to the guard camp to get his spear, and then took the harness to the stable, took out his horse, and put on the saddle and stirrup.

In the previous life, Qin Dong turned over a lot of historical materials to find out when the saddle and stirrup appeared, but there was no accurate conclusion, and now the Huns already have a saddle and stirrups, according to the memory of this body, the Huns have had a saddle and stirrups since they appeared in Europe to attack the Goths seventy or eighty years ago, and the emergence of these two things completely changed the form of warfare, making the cavalry the most powerful force in the era of cold weapons.

The role of stirrups is not only to help people get on the horse, but also to support the rider's feet when riding, so as to maximize the advantages of riding a horse and effectively protect the safety of the rider. Prior to this, when a cavalryman galloped on horseback to shoot an arrow, he had to slow down or dismount his bow to shoot an arrow; The warring parties should not swing as hard as they can in a fight on horseback, otherwise they will lose their balance and fall off their horses. After the invention of the stirrup, it made the war horse easier to control, so that people and horses were connected as one, so that the people on horseback could free their hands, and the cavalry could ride and shoot on the galloping war horse, and they could also swing left and right on the horseback to complete the military action of splitting left and right. Thanks to the saddle and stirrups, the Hun riders were able to shoot arrows in every direction while riding. The entry of the stirrup into Europe was an extraordinary event, and it was precisely because of it that the cavalry replaced the infantry as the main force in medieval warfare, and the feudal knights wearing heavy armor in the Middle Ages were produced, which shows its important process.

After getting ready, Qin Dongfei got on his horse, he held the reins in his left hand, put the spear under his armpit in his right hand, and rode his horse quickly towards the east camp outside the royal court.

Along the way, there were Hu herdsmen who rushed from around the royal court to attend Attila's funeral, and Qin Dong rode his horse on the muddy water, and the horse's hooves splashed the muddy water everywhere on the ground, causing the herdsmen walking on both sides to scold angrily.

Five minutes later, Qin Dong rode his horse and ran outside the east camp, Wu Ji was chatting with a 10,000 cavalry commander at the gate of the camp on horseback, and there were ten cavalry waiting in a row next to him, Qin Dong immediately lifted the reins and asked the horse to stop and sit on the horse and stroke his chest and salute: "Meet Lord Uji, Master Wan Cai!" ”

Wu Ji spoke, pointing to the ten cavalry lined up next to him and said: "Qin Dong, the elder of the ten thousand cavalry accepted the will of Da Shan Yu and agreed to transfer ten cavalry households to you, these ten cavalry households will be your people from now on, and after attending the funeral of the first king, they will immediately rush to the Saidika camp" He said to the ten thousand cavalry chief and said: "I have to rush back to serve Da Shan Yu, so I will not stay anymore, and I will have time to drink together!" ”

"I'm not far away!" The ten thousand cavalry commander nodded, turned to look at Qin Dong, and then said, "Qin Dong, is it?" Now these ten cavalry families are yours, you take them away! ”

"Yes, Master Wanqi!" Qin Dong agreed, turned his head to look at the ten cavalrymen on horseback and shouted, "You come with me!" ”

After seeing Qin Dong galloping away on horseback, the ten cavalrymen looked at each other and rode after them.

After a while, Qin Dong took ten cavalry away from the camp to an empty grass and stopped, and the ten cavalrymen began to whisper, "I don't know who this person is, what kind of ability he has?" Whether you can have a good life with him, it's really hard to say in the future! ”

A person next to him whispered, "You still don't know? I heard that he is the guard of the new Erak Da Shan Yu, and he looks like a tall horse, I guess it's just a good look, and it's useless! ”

As soon as these words were spoken, several cavalrymen next to him burst into laughter.

Qin Dong turned his horse's head to face the ten cavalrymen, when he was at the gate of the camp just now, these people were riding horses in a neat row, but now they were all lazy and scattered in formation.

Qin Dong stared at each cavalry one by one, these ten people are his family background, and it depends on these people if he wants to develop his family, but judging from the appearance of these people, these people obviously disagree with him, the new commander, thinking that he is a good person, and he is useless, it seems that he has to give these people a little bit of power, otherwise the team will not be easy to bring, Qin Dong was born in the army in his previous life, and he was the largest company commander, the most basic combat unit, and he naturally has a set of leading soldiers. In the army, especially in this chaotic era, and unlike in the army in the era of peace and prosperity, here we pay attention to the respect of the strong, not a place to be reasonable.

"Look at the way you look like you're not convinced by me, the captain of ten? If anyone is not convinced, please raise your hand and let me see! ”

As soon as the words fell, the ten cavalrymen all raised their hands at once, Qin Dong nodded and said: "Okay, it seems that you are not convinced by me, it doesn't matter, if it is me, I will definitely be dissatisfied, so let's do it, you can challenge me one by one, whoever wins me, I, the ten-captain, will let him do it, and be convinced to be loyal to him!" What do you think? Who comes first? ”

In fact, Qin Dong didn't know that this cavalry was the most difficult to manage and the worst discipline in the entire Ten Thousand Cavalry, but the individual combat effectiveness of each of them was very strong, just because their individual combat effectiveness was very strong, so even ordinary centurions and thousand commanders were not necessarily their opponents, let alone govern them, the ten thousand cavalry commanders just now had long hated to throw these ten people away, and it happened that Qin Dong was willing to take over, so he naturally handed it over to him very happily.

Hearing Qin Dong say this, a few cavalrymen coaxed, "Batu, you go and try his catties!" ”

"Yes, Batuu, you go and try!"

Qin Dong looked at it and saw that Batu was five big and three thick, with a face full of meat, a beard on his face, and his nose hair was almost two centimeters outside his nose, and he looked fierce and vicious, and this image could be a thousand-sized commander.

I saw Batu pointing at Qin Dong with the thick and long mace on his hand full of spikes: "If you win me, I will obey you, and you will be the only one in the future, otherwise where will you come from and go back!" ”

"Hahaha, good, Batu said it well!" Someone in the back coaxed, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Then please!" Qin Dong also politely rode his horse to the side, and stopped after running a distance, while Batu rode his horse to a place about a hundred meters opposite him and stopped, the two of them pondered for a while, and at the same time clamped the horse's belly with their legs, and roared: "Drive-"

At a distance of a hundred meters, the two rode in the opposite direction, and they collided in just a few seconds, seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Batu raised his mace and smashed it on the top of Qin Dong's head.

Qin Dong felt that his spirit was particularly good after crossing this time, perhaps it was because the two souls were twice as powerful as ordinary people's souls after fusing them, which caused this effect.

Just as Batu's mace smashed, Qin Dong could clearly see the movement trajectory of the mace, which made Qin Dong feel too surprised, he immediately took out the spear at the power point of the mace, and the mace was bounced back, Qin Dong quickly swept the spear again, and the spear shaft swept on Batu's chest, Batu flew back and fell heavily to the ground before he could react, Qin Dong stopped and stretched out the spear against his throat.

"Hiss-" The remaining nine cavalrymen saw that Batu had been knocked off their horses without even making a move, and they immediately gasped one by one, knowing that Batu's strength was the second among the ten of them.

The one with the highest force and the leader of the ten cavalry rode out: "I'm coming!" ”

I saw that this man was wearing a cowhide helmet, tied his hair, and his hair was pierced through the small hole in the top of the helmet and hung behind his head, like a bundle of helmets, this man had a long face, looked thin, but definitely not thin, his eyes were shining, he pulled out his scimitar and rode down diagonally and slowly walked out.

The eight cavalrymen behind cheered: "Okay, Su He is out of the horse, now I see that guy is not dead?" ”

It turned out that the leading cavalryman was called Su He, he rode out and slowly accelerated, and began to charge towards Qin Dong, the speed of the horse became faster and faster, and he kept shouting loudly in his mouth for a moment: "Woo lulu-, woo lulu-."

This is the slogan issued by the Huns when they charged, that is, "Rush, kill!" The meaning of a single person shouting out also has the purpose of cheering himself up.

The speed of the cavalry charge was too fast, Qin Dong heard this voice and just reacted and turned his head to see Su He rushing over at an extremely fast speed, he saw Su He's scimitar look over, and immediately raised his spear to hold the single scimitar, and swept it over with one move, at this time Su He had already rushed over on horseback, allowing him to sweep the air.

Su He rushed over a distance and immediately reined in the horse and rushed over again, Qin Dong was not to be outdone, his legs clamped the horse's belly and rushed over and Su He fought, the two rode the horse while making moves, the two rode on this grass and galloped, but the knight on the horse made a vicious move, after a few moves, the two of them galloped forward side by side, but the weapons in their hands were not idle, the rest of the people only heard the sound of weapons colliding constantly, the two horses ran for a piece of grass for two laps and passed a dozen moves, Su He finally lost to Qin Dong, The scimitar in his hand was swept away by Qin Dong's spear, and the person was also swept off the horse by Qin Dong's spear.

Qin Dong looked at the rest of the people and pointed the spear in his hand at them: "Who else is not convinced?" ”

"I, my shepherd is not convinced!" Only a cavalryman with a scimitar and a big bow in his hand rode over and said loudly: "I am comparing archery with you, do you see the big tree under the hillside?" You just need to learn from me to shoot it, and I'll obey you! ”

"Okay, you come first!" Qin Dong shouted.

Muren put his legs between the horse's belly and shouted: "Ride-" The horse galloped forward quickly, only to see Muren draw an arrow and put it on the bowstring, and shoot it on the back of the galloping horse, aiming at a big tree under the hillside.

Qin Dong's eyes froze, there are at least 300 meters from here to the big tree at the bottom of the hillside, in this era, ordinary bows can't shoot such a long distance, but Muren's bow is a strong bow, the arrow is accurately shot at the trunk, and it is a horse galloping sideways, which not only requires the bow to have a long range, but also requires the archer's accurate archery, this Muren is definitely a marksman.

Qin Dong, as Erak's guard, is naturally good in archery, but the bow in his hand does not have such a long range, and the bow in his hand can only shoot two hundred meters at most to reach the sky, this seems to be a must-lose result, what should I do?

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Dong thought of a way, he took out an arrow and put it on the riding bow and began to gallop on the horse, with a whoosh, the arrow shot out, but Qin Dong did not stop, but pulled out an arrow again at the fastest speed, and shot with the arrow, and the cavalry with a good eye saw that the arrow shot out from behind was faster, and shot at the tail of the arrow in front, and the arrow in front of it suddenly accelerated after being hit and shot at the trunk of the tree, and everyone rode down the hill to see the results of this bow and arrow competition.

The group soon reached the bottom of the mountain, and when they stopped, they saw that one arrow on the trunk had been split in two by another arrow from the middle of the shaft.

Seeing that everyone gasped, Su He, who was in the lead, took Batu, Muren and the other seven cavalrymen to dismount and kneel down and shouted: "From now on, obey the orders of the ten commanders and swear allegiance to the death!" ”

Qin Dong was very satisfied, nodded and smiled: "Okay, Su He, you take the others and all your family members and belongings to gather here in the morning in three days, no matter whether the funeral of the first king has ended or not, we will leave the royal court and go to Saidika!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, these Hun soldiers did not like to stay in the royal court, but liked to be sent to the border, because they could be freely looted at the border, and it was easy to grab finances and slaves. ”
