Chapter 134: Establishment of the Horse Market
"The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan clan, there are bears, how about we use the bear totem as a battle flag?"
"The bear totem feels too hairy, so let's use the dragon totem."
"Agreed."
"It is better to distinguish the battle flags of the ten legions, so as not to recognize each other when you get them."
"The banner of the First Legion is the Yellow Dragon Banner."
"The banner of the Second Legion is the Red Dragon Banner."
"The banner of the Third Legion is the Blue Dragon Banner."
"The banner of the Fourth Legion is the Black Dragon Banner."
……
After the joint decision of the ten army commanders, the Eastern Han District used the same kind of battle flag during the national war, which was a winding dragon, with the "Han" character of the small seal in the middle.
The difference between the different clan flags is the color.
The ten legions in the Eastern Han Dynasty each chose their own battle flag scheme.
As the temporary commander of the Second Legion, Chu Tian chose the Red Dragon Banner.
The dragon totem and Chinese characters are the symbols of the Eastern Han District, and such battle flags have already reflected the characteristics of the Eastern Han District itself.
The craftsmen of Chu Tian Ling Xia City specially built thirty red dragon flags.
This was the first national war, and everyone did not expect that the hastily decided dragon flag would become the flag that the Eastern Han Dynasty had been using to participate in the national war in the future, which made the various civilized areas frightened.
In addition to the Red Dragon Banner, Chutian also prepared war drums and gongs.
The so-called drumming is to hear the drum to move forward; Mingjin collects the troops, and collects the troops when he hears the sound of cymbals and gongs.
War drums, like gongs and trumpets, were used on the battlefield to command soldiers and horses.
"The loss of food and weapons on the battlefield was provided by the Tang Army, which is a good thing. It's a pity that the Tang Army does not provide war horses. The war horses of the Tang cavalry are excellent war horses from Longxi and Turkic. ”
The Red Dragon Flag, War Drums, Gongs, and the materials that should be prepared have already been prepared.
Mulan's cavalry is washing their horses to keep them in the best condition.
War horses also have a state, and in order to maintain the highest combat effectiveness of war horses, they must be fed well. For cavalry, the war horse is a partner who fights side by side with him.
Hua Mulan is still wearing armor, and under her training, the average level of Xia Zhen's light cavalry has reached level 45, which is considered an elite division.
If the light cavalry is at full level, it means that the light cavalry has either trained for a thousand days or has participated in at least dozens of battles large and small.
A light cavalry that has experienced the baptism of war may also defeat the newly recruited high-ranking cavalry.
Zhou Yafu took 800 soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion into battle. Three hundred of the soldiers of the Xiliu battalion were equipped with Han Xuan armor (two dang armor), and another 500 were equipped with leather armor.
Chu Tian couldn't equip all the soldiers of the Xiliu Battalion with armor. A pair of armor is made of hundreds of pieces of iron, which is time-consuming and laborious to build, and the price is a bit expensive.
Some of the soldiers and horses of the Xiliu Battalion have fought two or three battles with Zhou Yafu, and the average level is around level 30.
Seven hundred archers from the Archery Battalion were finally trained before the national war, and the initial level was only level 10, but the attributes were already very exaggerated.
[Class]: Shooting Battalion
[Rank]: Sixth-order archer
[Attack]: 23 [Defense]: 7 [Speed]: 6
[Skill]: Special Hit, Advanced Armor Piercing, Advanced Arrow Rain, Han Soul (+10% damage to aliens)
[Characteristics]: The Fifth Colonel of the Northern Army (When a Han Dynasty general is the main general/deputy general, attack +4, fire rate +10%, speed +1)
[Military salary]: 8 taels / month
As the Praetorian Guard of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it makes sense that it is expensive, and for the melee troops, it is a nightmare to encounter the Shooting Battalion. The Shooting Battalion also has a damage bonus against aliens.
Chutian made the Han general Li Guang his lieutenant general and commanded the Shooting Battalion.
There is a shooting battalion led by Li Guang, which is a trump card in Chu Tian's hands.
I'm more worried about Mulan's cavalry, or the first- and second-order cavalry. In the future, we must find a way to get the architectural drawings of the sixth-level cavalry battalion, as well as excellent war horses.
The horse farm in Xuzhou can't raise very good war horses, even if there is a pasture, you can only breed ordinary war horses.
Chutian didn't think about spending a lot of money to buy stallions and then raise them in the pastures of Lingyan Town, but the second-level pastures can't raise good horses, the mortality rate of foals is high, and the quality of the offspring of excellent stallions will decline, and the cost of raising horses is very high.
Pasture is also an extremely important resource. Otherwise, the location of the Hetao Plain, Longxi, the Western Regions, and Liaodong would not be so important.
Of course, the horse farm in Xuzhou can store ordinary war horses, and the output is not low, but the quality is not as good as the war horses in Guanwai, Hetao and other places, and the cost is higher. The war horses of Xuzhou Horse Farm are generally suitable for middle-level cavalry, and are not suitable for high-level cavalry.
"While I'm away, you'll see if you can build a horse market. The layout of the horse market can refer to the Luoyang City Horse Market. ”
Chu Tian found Xia Liang and asked her to try to set up a horse market during his absence.
The cost of cultivating high-grade war horses in Xuzhou is too high, and Chutian can't change his life against the sky and forcibly turn farmland into pasture. But he could consider a change of thinking.
If you can't raise it yourself, you can buy it directly with money. Horse markets have been set up in all dynasties.
For businessmen, especially players, with a profit of more than 300%, capital dares to commit any crime, even to risk hanging their heads.
As long as you have money, you can definitely buy war horses.
"I will try to build a horse market and contact horse merchants in Xuzhou to settle in. According to some players, they witnessed a group of horse merchants traveling between Xuzhou and Youzhou, passing through Qingzhou and Jizhou. If this group of horse dealers can be attracted to Xiacheng, it is expected that the number of horses traded in Xiacheng can reach more than 100 per month. ”
From time to time, I get important information from the player base in the summer, and I have a little understanding of the circulation of various goods.
"You can buy a batch of war horses in western and eastern Liaoning, and the war horses in northern Jizhou are slightly inferior."
Chu Tian didn't give a clear plan, and he didn't know how many horse merchants and what kind of war horses the horse market in Xia City would attract, so he didn't point fingers, so he could only let his subordinates act cheaply.
"Soon it will be rumored to the battlefield of Anshi City......
Chu Tian was waiting to be teleported to the battlefield of Anshi City.
Two thousand people gathered in the square of Xia City, and the players living in Xia City watched the commander of the Second Army of the Eastern Han District lead his troops to the battle.
The battlefield of Anshi Castle is in a separate space.
"Li Shimin, Li Tao, Xue Rengui, these are all famous commanders and generals, this time to fight side by side with them, you must beat the stick to the bout!"
Chu Tian couldn't help but be a little enthusiastic.
Obeying orders under the command of Tian Khan Li Shimin and galloping on the same battlefield as the Tang Dynasty is probably every man's dream.
Xue Rengui fixed Tianshan with three arrows, and he didn't know who was more powerful in archery compared to Li Guang.
There is also the city lord of Anshi City, the fictional Yang Wanchun, who should also be a master of arrows.
In this battle of Anshi City, there will be three bow heroes competing on the same stage!
