Chapter 242: New Meteorology (Part II)
"The second thing is that this is the second barrier of the new country, in the east of the new country, the country with bad intentions wants to destroy its own country, so this county order needs a group of manpower, ready to transport materials to Youxian County at any time, if you are willing, you can sign up, and a notice will be posted later."
The people were excited: "I do." ”
"I actually want to attack Xinguo, although Xinguo has annexed our country, but it seems to be good to us, and the county orders sent are basically serious and responsible, and now this life is much better than before, why attack Xinguo?"
"Yes, I can't let him attack the new country, and I'm willing."
The people were indignant.
The other is a horse farm.
Herds of horses galloped across the plains, galloping like a tidal wave, running against the wind, and the number of horses alone was several thousand.
The horses at the front were red and black, and there were speckled horses, and the red horse at the front was even more vigorous.
Farther away was a large horse pen, with a few horses scattered around, some grazing with their heads down, some flicking their tails and snorting.
Beside them, the groom and Bole stood aside, watching the galloping horses.
"What do you think of these horses, Commander?"
Bole looked at Hu Che'er with a smile on his face.
Hu Che'er looked at the horses and nodded: "Very good, this time the legion's war horses should be available." Can this group of horses do it? ”
"Naturally, these horses have grown up, and basically healthy horses can be used as war horses, but before they can be war horses, they still need to be selected first, but all stallions may need to be picked out and given up, and try to choose mares."
Hu Che'er nodded: "I understand." ”
The reason why the mare is to be selected is because the castration technology of the horse is not yet mature, and the new country has not yet fully developed and mastered it, which is easy to make the stallion die, and the stallion that is not castrated will easily cause estrus and other symptoms, and the estrus of the war horse is a very terrible thing, on the battlefield, it is likely to put the cavalry in a dangerous situation, and the horse does not listen to the command, then it is over.
In history, similar things have happened, the Spring and Autumn Warring States period once, the Tang Dynasty once, the Tang Dynasty is Li Guangbi, in July 759 AD, Guo Ziyi was framed by eunuchs, Tang Suzong had no choice but to deprive Guo Ziyi of military power, appointed Li Guangbi instead of Guo Ziyi as the Shuofang Festival envoy, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and led 500 personal soldiers to Luoyang to command the Shuofang army.
In October of the same year, Shi Siming attacked Heyang, and Li Guangbi saw that Shi Siming's battle mainly relied on the elite cavalry formed by more than 1,000 good horses in the military camp, and these horses bathed on the beach on the south bank of the Yellow River every day, so he had a plan.
He returned to the selection army of 500 mares, left their foals in the city, and drove all the horses to the north bank of the Yellow River. When the enemy army has no horses, the cavalry is useless, so that basically the battle situation has a great advantage.
Therefore, it is also necessary to choose a mare as much as possible for the war horse, because the mare has a docile temperament and can listen to the command more.
Bole looked at the red horse at the front, and couldn't help but speak: "Commander Hu, you must not have a war horse yet,?? The red war horse at the front is a horse from Pingyuan County, and the horse from the acquired grass field county is born with a matching breed, unexpectedly, this horse performed extremely well, strong endurance, strong toughness, although it is not comparable to a famous horse, but it is also a good horse, if it can be used as a war horse, it will definitely help the commander on the battlefield. ”
Hu Che'er smiled: "Okay." ”
"However, this horse has a bit of a fierce temperament, and it needs to be surrendered by the commander himself."
"No problem."
Hu Che'er had a little itchy hands, and there was even more excitement in his eyes when he looked at the jujube red horse, and the generals looked at the war horse, which was an absolute favorite.
Not long after, the running horses stopped, and Bole beckoned Hu Che'er to come to the red horse, and without saying a word, Hu Che'er just turned over and got on the horse.
Sigh!!!
The maroon horses were extremely unhappy, and immediately galloped wildly, trying to throw the cart off.
"Hey!"
Hu Che'er roared, and the whirring wind made his face hurt, and he clung to the horse's mane, and his body seemed to be glued to the horse, but he couldn't get down.
"Brute! Stop me! ”
Hu Che'er was yelling, his hand suddenly exerted, the red horse screamed sadly, and under the pain, he didn't dare to move anymore, and stopped directly.
After stopping, the maroon horse lowered its head and snorted, apparently in agreement.
Hu Che'er turned over and dismounted, with a happy look on his face.
"Congratulations to the Commander."
Hu Che'er smiled: "Okay, this commander will transport these horses to the camp, and then find a blacksmith shop to make a saddle." ”
South County, Big Camp Office.
Inside, the new recruits were drilling, rehearsing in a neat line, and the lieutenants and other generals in front were commanding.
"Thorn!"
"Drink!"
All the recruits in front of them, neatly stab out the spears in their hands!
"Thorn!"
"Drink!"
All the recruits, stab their spears out again.
Because it is very difficult for recruits to grow into a qualified veteran quickly, basically let them master a simple move first, and practice a move repeatedly, so that they can play a great advantage when they assemble into a formation.
At the entrance to the camp, there was a long queue, where there were also generals in charge of registration.
"The next group, Chen Yun, Guansuo ......"
The people who were named stood up one after another, all of them were powerful men, and in front of them, there were levers made of stones.
"Start lifting."
Strong men tried to lift the stone, but unfortunately, the stone was too heavy.
The shooting range of the big camp, the straw man shooting range made of haystacks, were arranged at different distances, some were forty paces, some were eighty steps, and some were one hundred steps.
There are also various bows on the weapon rack on the side.
"Shoot!"
At the sound of an order, all the archers standing in front of the line shot arrows at the straw men in front of them!
Whoosh!
Arrows flew down on the straw men, and almost all the soldiers at forty paces were hit.
"Sixty steps, shoot!"
Another order was given, and this time the arrows flew out, but some of them missed.
"Eighty steps, shoot!"
This time, there were some soldiers whose arrows did not reach the straw men.
After the flat shooting training, I continued to practice the rain of arrows.
In the cavalry field of the large camp, training was also underway, but they were trained in mounted archery.
Several soldiers rode up on their horses and ran around the field, with several straw men in the middle.
The next moment, a soldier bent his bow and arrow, mounted on his horse, and shot an arrow.
It's just a pity that the horse just moved, and his whole body was unstable and he was thrown off the horse directly.
Seeing this scene, the general shook his head.
The training in the camp was hot, and the farmland outside Xinguo County was reclaimed into a large area of farmland, and all the rice was planted.
This is basically the epitome of the next month, the most conspicuous is the expansion of the city wall in Nanxian County, where thousands of craftsmen and tens of thousands of people are building the city wall quickly.
