However, when it came time to capture a castle located in the far north of the Ryukyu Islands, it was a bit of a surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It turned out that in a city, there were quite a few cavalry in the city, which surprised the army of Linhai City.

However, the cavalry's mounts were a bit strange, they were not riding horses, but deer.

This kind of deer is not an ordinary sika deer or elk, but a huge deer, similar to a reindeer, but taller than a reindeer, let's call it a reindeer!

These reindeer are generally up to 3 meters long, and the horns on their heads are very hard and strong, and there are many branches, and when fighting, they can be put on sharp iron sheaths, which immediately become sharp weapons of war.

Reindeer run extremely fast, even if they carry an adult, they can easily reach a speed of 100 kilometers an hour, which is more than many standard horses.

Moreover, reindeer feed on grass, trees, and leaves, and have a great demand for food, so they are not picky eaters, and they eat everything, which is easier to raise.

Reindeer have good endurance and are good at long-distance running, accustomed to walking on rugged mountain roads and jungles, and can also walk with weights, eating leaves and grass roots while walking.

All things considered, reindeer are far superior to ordinary war horses.

However, reindeer also have drawbacks.

First, the source of reindeer is limited, the number is small, and it is not easy to popularize.

Second, the reindeer eat too much, and the use of reindeer as a mount in areas with lush vegetation can also save food, but in some places where the vegetation is relatively desolate and fresh water is lacking, the reindeer put great pressure on logistics.

The third is that the reindeer is not as smart as the war horse, and the understanding of the owner's meaning is not too real.

Fourth, the reindeer are also relatively small, easily frightened, and do not listen to commands.

Fifth, reindeer are afraid of heat.

As soon as Li Tang heard that there were cavalry mounts produced here, he was naturally ecstatic.

What is Li Tang lacking the most? It's a war horse.

Because there is a lack of war horses in the place where Li Tang is, Li Tang is not unable to find a place to produce horses, but a lack of talents to raise horses!

All the talents who breed horses basically live in the marginal areas of the west, north and southwest, and there are not many talents who raise horses in the central part of the continent.

Therefore, the price of war horses remained high, and because the imperial court restricted the trade of horses, the war horses circulating in the market were smuggled.

Since it is a smuggled goods, it is natural to pluck the goose when passing through many levels, so in the hands of the buyer, the ordinary war horse is already as high as 10 gold coins a horse, and there is no price, and it depends on the chance to buy it.

Moreover, when the war horse is transported to Linhai City, it needs to be transported by a transport ship. The cost of transporting war horses by transport ships is actually extremely high.

Generally speaking, the transportation from the north is very long, so the transportation period is long, and the space of the cabin where the war horse is kept is narrow, in order to ensure the watertightness, the natural air circulation in the cabin is inconvenient.

Moreover, because the war horses are all in the cabin, the air in the cabin is very bad, and the space in the cockpit is small, so it is impossible to move at all.

So, during the transportation process, many war horses with bad physique died before they could hold out to the destination, and those war horses who survived to the destination were also seriously injured, and their combat power was greatly reduced.

Therefore, in this way, the cost of transporting a war horse to Linhai City has risen to tens of gold coins.

It turns out that around this city, there are many reindeer. These reindeer are in a strange state, neither wild nor domestic, they are semi-wild animals.

They are more kind to people and do not actively attack the inhabitants, and the inhabitants are very kind to them.

In addition, residents often give them some high-calorie food to help them survive the winter when the grass and trees are dead and food is scarce.

At the same time, they also help the residents to take off some goods, and even plough the fields, etc., because they need a lot of food, so the residents basically can't afford to raise, usually these reindeer are free-range.

Reindeer have many predators in the jungle and plains. Although they are extremely fast, they are not very intelligent, and they are not agile in their movements. Therefore, they are a meal on the plate of many predators such as tigers, leopards, wolves, etc. Because of the presence of these natural predators, their population is not large.

In fact, although the reindeer is a semi-wild animal, it is not absolutely impossible not to attack other people, but it does not attack the aborigines in this city, and for outsiders who come to this city, reindeer also attack.

It turns out that all the people in this city have a talent, which is reindeer affinity. It is said that the incarnation spirit used in this castle is the incarnation spirit of the reindeer god, so it was protected by the reindeer god and gave them the talent, the reindeer affinity talent.

Since this city has such a good talent, Li Tang must not waste it, this city Li Tang decided to change its name to Reindeer City, and opened a teleportation array to train mounts specifically for Li Tang.

As for how to train mounts, Li Tang is not too worried.

First of all, Li Tang has a special building of animal nests, and after completely domesticating the reindeer into domestic animals, he specially cultivates reindeer in a place where the water and grass are fertile and there are no natural enemies, and arranges some people with reindeer affinity and talent to manage these reindeer, thinking that a large number of mounts can be cultivated.

However, although such a mount is superior to a war horse, it still has a number of shortcomings, and these shortcomings are somewhat fatal, and allowing the enemy to catch them can have serious consequences.

Speaking of this reindeer mount, it is actually a relatively common mount, Jiang Ziya's mount was a reindeer, and Santa's mount in the West was also a reindeer, so it can be seen that there is nothing strange about reindeer as a mount.

However, there must be a reason why reindeer as a mount cannot be as popular as a war horse.

The disadvantages listed above, the small number can be cultivated, there is no big deal, there are nests of birds and beasts, and it is only a matter of time before they are cultivated.

The disadvantage of a large amount of food is that they can only be arranged to fight in areas with fertile water and grass, and try to avoid arranging to fight in the winter when the grass and trees are withered.

As for not being smart enough, there is no way to teach them some simple instructions at most. Timid, in fact, it can be trained, and many war horses have little guts, but after training, they even dare to resist the horse.

There is no way to solve this problem of being afraid of heat, at most they do not go to the south to fight in the summer, or shave their hair in the summer to dissipate heat.

Actually, Li Tang has other ideas about mounts.

For the problem that the mount is not smart enough and the command is inconvenient, in fact, it is solved by subduing it as a pet. Because, because of the bloodline contract problem, the pet can receive the consciousness signal of the owner's command, and there is no problem that cannot be understood, the only thing is the question of whether it will be.

There is also the problem of timidity, which can also be solved, because pets unconditionally obey the owner's orders due to the relationship of the blood contract, and the problem of timidity can also be effectively solved.

As for supplies, this is not a problem, the storage space can prevent food, and it is a big deal to take the pet back into the space and let it eat.

If you are sensitive to heat, you can also use the pet space to minimize the problem of the mount being exposed to hot climates for too long.

Adopting reindeer as a pet is too difficult for outsiders, but for the aborigines of Reindeer City who have a talent for reindeer affinity, there is no big problem at all. Their talent has greatly increased the reindeer's affinity for them, so the success rate of subduing reindeer as pets has also greatly increased.

Li Tang decided to buy reindeer pets from the aborigines of this area.

For pet trading, the system settings are allowed. However, after the pet is traded, the intimacy between the pet and the new owner becomes 0, and the loyalty is not too high. As for what impact intimacy and loyalty have on the use of pets, it is not yet known.

However, trading pets by the original owner of a pet will make the person's success rate of taming the pet even lower for a period of time.

Although, there is no limit to the number of times you can use a subduing skill, but it takes energy to use a subduing skill, and a person's energy is limited after all, so there is still a limit to the number of times you can use a subduing skill.

The success rate of acceptance is too low, so it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

If a reindeer cavalry unit can be established, there is no need to rely on just two legs to attack the interior of Yizhou, and you can ride the reindeer to cross the mountains and mountains, trek through mountains and rivers, which can greatly save the time of land marching, and can also save the physical strength of the soldiers, so that their attacks will be more sudden, and will greatly speed up the process of subjugating Yizhou.

Therefore, getting reindeer is more practical than getting a historical general. Thanks to "Elvis Presley" for a big reward of 1888 starting coins. Your encouragement is my motivation.
