Cavalry must be trained in horseback walking, mounted archery, and battle formations, not only to ride firmly on a horse galloping on a bumpy road, but also to move freely on the horse, and to practice a set of complex movements, such as firing bows and arrows forward, backward, left and right; Swing your weapon and strike the opponent steadily and accurately; For the enemy's swift slashing stabs, it can safely dodge or shift .......

Mounted archery is a necessary skill for cavalry. This alone is much more difficult than the infantry to exercise the bow and fight. Because the infantry is standing on the ground, or half-kneeling, or with their feet open, the bow is drawn accurately, the foundation is stable, it is easy to exert the strength of the whole body, the radiation range is longer, and the degree of accuracy is higher. However, the cavalry is sitting on a horse and aiming and opening the bow, the horse is walking or galloping, the base is in motion, and at the same time, the target may also be in motion. This is an operation in an interactive situation, which limits the strength of the whole body to a certain extent, especially the exertion of the strength of the arms, and the accuracy of the other is reduced, so the practice of hitting the opponent accurately and effectively is not a day's work, it must be the result of long-term and arduous training under strict teaching.

Zhao Ta while waiting for the news in the capital, while grasping the training of the guards, the previous stage of training solved the problem of whether to ride a horse, now it is time to improve the stage of riding, the courtyard of Beifu is not small, but the training of cavalry is still not fast, horses often just start, in the blink of an eye to the end of the playground, you can't let Ma Guang go back and forth in circles!

At this time, it has entered May, just after the noon festival, a horse team went out of the house at dawn, and the guards pulled out the camp and drove into the horse farm, where the territory is large, what slopes, ravines, rivers, swamps, woods, all kinds of terrain are complete, and everyone knows that there is a horse farm on the prince's house, no one goes to harass, it is a good place for field training. The camp is also ready-made, that is, the lair of 'A Gust of Wind', where more than 200 people died at once a while ago, and everyone thinks that it is a place of great murder, and there are no traces of people.

"Captain, can we change places, I always feel panicked here, and I get goosebumps all over my body!" As soon as he entered the hinterland of the racecourse, Zhao Xiao looked around, as if those ghosts would come out to catch him in broad daylight.

"Cut, those people were all killed by you, and you are not afraid of the living, but are you afraid that they will become ghosts?" Zhao Ta looked at the blue sky, the white clouds in the air, the waterhole like a mirror, the murmuring stream said with a smile, the cool morning breeze kneaded the fragrance of flowers and plants together, refreshing people's hearts, like a faint mist of smoke rising to the clouds, you can see the agate-like horses in the distance, and hear the loud shouts of the wranglers, this scene is intoxicating.

"Captain, the so-called 'dead tiger is like a mouse, dead man is like a tiger', Zhao Xiao is naturally timid, the last time we went back from here, he didn't dare to go to the toilet alone for several nights, this time he would rather pee his pants than go out alone!" Zhao Yi said with a smile.

"Zhao Yi, don't talk nonsense, I won't be afraid!" Zhao Li was exposed, and he argued with a red face, but he obviously lacked confidence to look at him.

"Zhao Li, have you ever looked for a woman?" At this time, Zhao Zhi took two steps to catch up with the horse, and asked 'seriously' with him.

"No... No, what do you mean? Zhao Li was stunned by his question, and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, then what are you afraid of, I heard the old man in the house say that as long as it is a man who has not broken his child's body, he will have the fire of Yuanyang in his body, and the cow ghost and snake god will not dare to approach!" Zhao Zhi nodded and said.

"Fuck, you're kidding me!" Zhao Li immediately understood what Zhao Zhi meant, picked up the horse whip and hit it, Zhao Zhi knocked the horse's belly, and the horse rushed out like an arrow.

"Captain, at night I... I'm going to live in a tent with you, too! Zhao Xin, who was following Zhao Ta, suddenly whispered.

"What, are you scared too?" Zhao Ta asked with a playful smile.

"Hmm!" Zhao Xin answered him in a almost inaudible voice, Zhao Ta nodded helplessly and agreed, he didn't understand what kind of psychology he was now, maybe he couldn't do without his life by his side day and night.

……

In the early morning, the sun only showed half of its face, the mist had just been dispelled by the sun, and the silence on the wasteland was broken by the sound of shouts of killing, and in the open space in front of the camp, a group of people brandished their sabers, slashing left and right with the sound of the password, and the strange thing was that they did not have a horse under their buttocks, but stood in place in a squatting crotch style on horseback, holding a knife in their right hand, holding the 'reins of a horse' in their left hand, and shouting killing with the movement in their mouths. ,

"Pay attention to the essentials of the movement, raise the hand of the blessing, and don't let the blade touch the horse's 'eyes'!"

"Dou Jun, your fucking knife should be low, don't cut the horse's neck!"

"Liu Biao, you are stupid, you have to hold the 'reins' with your left hand, and you have to make sure that there is no horse under your buttocks, and you have a horse in your heart!" Zhao Ta walked around the queue, shouting passwords and correcting everyone's movements.

After a morning of drilling, the two chopping movements were considered to have a little appearance, and when they heard the order to disband, everyone sat on the ground, and the 'foot saber training' invented by the prince was more tiring than riding a horse for a day. Zhao Ta looked at their cowardice, laughed twice, and gave Xu Biao, Zheng Ping let the two of them get up with both feet, and took them to make breakfast for everyone, now they can no longer enjoy the treatment of daily meals delivered to the door, and if they want to eat, they have to do it themselves!

As the name suggests, this trekking saber training is a method used by cavalry to train on the ground without riding a horse, and it is also the inspiration that Zhao Ta got from the land parachute training in his previous life and innovated it himself. The saber is a unique weapon of the cavalry, occupies an important position in the training of the cavalry, the seemingly simple saber, the difficulty and danger of mastering the essentials of its action is very great, a little careless is not to hurt himself or to cut the horse, this is indeed Zhao Ta from the blood of the experience.

A few days ago, the workshop according to Zhao Ta's requirements to build the first batch of sabers sent here to replace the previously equipped Song Army standard ring head knife, this knife is more than three feet long, weighing three catties and two taels, the knife body is slender, the back is light and thin, made of stainless steel, copper ring handle guard, there is a leather finger hanging sheath in the handle, the cowhide scabbard is a double ring, can be carried on the shoulder, the coarse handle grip is more solid and stable, look at the mighty and strong, live out of the Great Song Dynasty version of the 65 cavalry knife.

With a knife to carry out knife training, Zhao Ta in his previous life is a cavalry General Patton loyal fan, read his compilation of a cavalry knife skills, as early as a year ago he made preparations and consulted a few head and good at using the saber of the cavalry club Ding, compiled the eighteen-style 'Zhao's cavalry knife method', the other nine types against the cavalry against the other nine types of infantry The combination of ancient and modern, the combination of Chinese and Western knife skills, in fact, is to split, chop, stab, chop the four actions are combined separately, flexible use!

Zhao Ta confidently began to train with his own knife skills, but there were many accidents, the first real training, he cut two horses, scratched three people, and encountered the horse's eye more than ten times, resulting in training failure, and then reluctantly tried twice, no need to ask all ended in a fiasco. After learning from the pain, Zhao had no choice but to change to a step-by-step strategy of training on foot first and then training immediately.

Although there are not many people in the personal guards who train them on foot, it is also very dangerous to dance the saber on the ground, and it is easy to hurt others and hurt themselves if you don't pay attention to it, but fortunately, Zhao Ta had the foresight, and when the knife was sent, he didn't let them cut it, and it only hurt for a while when it hit the body, and it usually wouldn't bleed, otherwise I don't know how much gold medicine would be consumed by the Dao. Next, Zhao Ta was training and exploring improvements, and he was finally able to train normally.

After breakfast, everyone tied the horses, put leg shackles on them, and then a group of people began to knock on the pot, hit the bowl, set off firecrackers, and surrounded the horse shed to 'jump the god', the horses immediately stopped doing it and wanted to go, but the reins were tied, the legs were tripped, and they couldn't run if they wanted to run.

"Second master, why are we tossing horses so much, look at them all sweating!" Zhao Xin stroked his horse painfully, comforted it, and calmed the horse down.

"It's not that there's no way, if they can understand me like people, I won't toss, you think I'm an idle egg!" Zhao Ta also said angrily, two days ago he jumped on the horse and went to chase a rabbit with a spear, but as soon as the gun rang out, the royal horse that had always been good-tempered went crazy, and even picked up more than ten feet, lifted him upside down from the horse more than a foot high, and threw him on the ground, but think about it, who is not afraid of a sudden thunder in his ear!

"Second master, when will we finish?" Zhao Xin took out a piece of Hu Biscuit from his pocket, broke it a little bit and fed it to the horse's mouth and said.

"I don't know when I don't know when I want to, I guess I won't have to wait until you dare to stand guard alone at night and don't squeeze into a tent with me!" Zhao Ta thought about it and said seriously.

"Second master, you laugh at me again for this matter, ignore you!" Zhao Xinjiao snorted, pouted and turned around and really didn't care about him anymore, Zhao Tan smiled and pulled his horse to walk his legs.

Training, training, training, Zhao Ta commanded his guards to repeat this life every day. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and the news from Beijing came yesterday: He Qufei has been changed to official qualifications, awarded the five-grade Zhongsan doctor, and has been hired as Prince Yan's palace Yixi, and will go to work soon!

"That's good news!" Zhao Ta stuffed the note into his mouth and chewed it after reading it, and spit it out again, "There has been no news from the north for a few months, according to historical development, Ah Guda that dog thing has now inherited his brother's position, and he has begun to recruit troops and horses to rebel, ready to dominate outside the pass!" ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Ta's nerves were tense again, and he looked at the falling night, "This guy will become his main opponent in the future, he has embarked on the road of hegemony, but he is still groping his way forward in the dark, and who knows at which point the history of the Dao will change!" ”
