Chapter 32: Embarking on the Journey
Hearing Wang Xu's praise, Wang Fei smiled heartily and said, "I'm just a little bit of an inch, but the third brother's riding skills have improved a lot." I remember that last time you could only support more than 100 lilies, but in just three months, you can already walk with me on a horse for more than 200 lilies, which is really amazing! ”
But Wang Fei's face sank again, and he solemnly reminded: "But it's better for the third brother not to fight with the master on the horse, it's very dangerous." Let's be honest, your martial arts are much higher than mine, and it's easy for you to win against me on the ground. But in a life-and-death fight right away, as long as I am willing to pay the price, I can kill you in dozens of moves. ”
Although Wang Fei's words were a bit shocking, Wang Xu still nodded. How could he not understand in his heart? His riding skills are worse than ordinary cavalry, and of course he suffers a lot in horse battles. And horse warfare is not only the level of martial arts can determine victory or defeat, riding is too important, only by putting riding on a starting line, the level of martial arts can be truly reflected.
And the reason for this result is really limited energy, Wang Xu has too much to learn over the years, and he doesn't have a lot of time to refine his riding skills. Besides, without stirrups, it is very difficult to control horses. You may not think it on weekdays, but in battle, horseback is not an ordinary slippery!
According to Wang Xu's observation, even if it was an ordinary cavalry in this era, his riding skills would be regarded as a top master in later generations. Therefore, I am even more annoyed that I forgot the stirrup!
After that, the three of them competed with each other on the school field and played for a long time. Of course, Wang Xu will never go to war again.
And the ground is completely his world, and Wang Fei can only be beaten. However, Wang Xu also took this opportunity to point out the shortcomings of Wang Fei's marksmanship, after all, Wang Fei's Wang family marksmanship was actually taught by Wang Xu.
Time flew by, and there was no word for the night......
In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, Wang Xu got up and freshened up. By the time I finished it, it was already dark.
Looking at the armor hanging on the wooden shelf in a daze, Wang Xu suddenly felt an indescribable excitement in his heart. couldn't help but gently stroke the pieces of armor, the cold iron armor, the chill of the tentacles made his heartbeat accelerate significantly, and it seemed that he had felt the life of the golden iron horse in an instant......
"Wearing this armor, I don't know if there will be a time in this life when I will take it off, alas!"
Shaking his head with a sigh, seeing that it was not early in the sky outside, Wang Xu no longer rubbed, slowly picked up the helmet and brought it to his head, and walked out with the armor in his arms.
When she came to Xu Shu's room next door, she was wearing her armor in a wolf manner. Seeing Wang Xu coming in, he immediately complained: "Come and help me put it on, what kind of armor is this!" Why is it so hard to wear? ”
Looking at Xu Shu's clumsy appearance, Wang Xu couldn't help but smile and said, "My dear, can you wear armor for yourself?" The armor must be put on for you! Especially the armor of this era. With that, he walked over and helped her get dressed.
"I see, no wonder I feel wrong."
"Alright, you put your hand up, or I won't be able to dress you."
The two of them tinkered for a long time before they dressed each other, but unfortunately although the momentum changed after putting them on, they didn't have much sense of might. The main reason is that Wang Xu and Xu Shu are too young, their bodies have not fully grown, and they always feel that they are two laps younger than a general.
After checking that there was nothing wrong with the equipment on their bodies, the two casually picked up the iron guns and went straight to the school grounds. And the soldiers in the manor have already gotten up and are carrying out their respective tasks.
Before he arrived at the school grounds, he ran into Wang Fei, who was directing the soldiers to carry food. Wang Xu immediately opened his mouth and asked, "Second brother, how are you preparing?" ”
Wang Fei turned back along the voice, and when he saw the two of them, he immediately greeted him: "It's been good for a long time, just waiting for you to come." ”
After speaking, he frowned and complained: "Third brother! You still haven't assigned the three of us a task! How, exactly? Looking at the current hour, the vanguard troops are ready to go. ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Xu remembered this, and immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I was negligent." ”
After speaking, he pondered for a moment before he continued: "Second brother, I mean that you take a thousand people to open the way for the vanguard, and Xu Shu and I take other people to serve as the Chinese army, and are responsible for escorting supplies!" ”
"Good!" Simply responded, Wang Fei immediately replied: "Now that the materials are almost shipped, then I will go and gather the 1,000-person team now." ”
"Yes! Good. Nodding, thinking of Wang Fei's temperament, Wang Xu told him uneasily: "Second brother must remember not to go too fast, just keep a distance of two miles from the rear team." Whatever speed we are, you keep that marching speed! If you encounter any situation, you must send someone to inform you first, and do not rush in. ”
Seeing that Wang Fei nodded solemnly, Wang Xucai added: "Also, you'd better quickly promote a clever deputy, who can take you to manage it for the time being." If something big happens, you need to come back and discuss it with us. ”
"Yes! I'll keep an eye out, is there anything else? If not, I'll go first. ”
"Go ahead! Be careful on the road. ”
As soon as Wang Fei left, Wang Xu did not hesitate, and immediately turned his head to Xu Shu and ordered: "You go and inform the 2,000-person team to gather first, this 1,000 people are behind the palace, so prepare now." I'll count the supplies and gather at the school yard later. ”
"Hmm!"
After a busy time, the inventory of materials was completed. Wang Xu assigned 300 people from the third thousand-person team to the general manager who specialized in managing materials, and gave him full authority to manage all materials.
His name is Wang Wen, and he is one of the five diners sent here by Wang Xu's father, and he is also the head of the manor, and he is deeply trusted by Wang Yan. The reason why he decided to take him with him was because he said that the order Wang Yan gave him at the beginning was to follow this army and manage logistics for Wang Xu. Originally, Wang Xu was very puzzled about his father's arrangement, but Wang Wen quickly explained to him.
It turned out that in addition to his extraordinary martial arts, this person had the most talent for managing logistics. As one of Wang Yan's five highest-ranking diners, he does not have the same command skills as the other four diners. Therefore, the other four people have to stay at home to lead the guards and guard against thieves, but there are enough people at home to solve this aspect of logistics.
Wang Xu was also secretly happy in his heart, after all, what is most lacking now is talent. And the logistics are also very complicated, and it is certainly better to have someone who is good at handling it.
When everything was ready, Wang Xu and Xu Shu also quickly rode their war horses and set off with the 3,000-strong team escorting grain and grass as the Chinese army. The 2,000-man team was temporarily responsible for the postponement under the leadership of Wang Wen. However, the two teams of 1,000 actually walked together, and there was no distance between them.
