Chapter 72: There are many horses in the camp

The so-called cavalry battalion is not a simple single-arm battalion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info is a multi-class mixed legion. Infantry, archers, cavalry are fully equipped, and there is a firearms squad. It's a pity that Ao Bai doesn't like foreign things like cannons, so the cannons of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion have fallen into disrepair for a long time and can't work. However, the dozens of muskets in the battalion were still well maintained.

Moreover, the Xiaocai battalion is the only one of the three battalions of the Praetorian Guard with a mixed army of Manchu, Han and Mongolian. The Mongolian soldiers were good at horse archery and wrestling, while the Han soldiers were good at broadswords and spears. Therefore, the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the Xiaocai battalion is superior to that of the other two battalions composed entirely of Manchurians.

Therefore, Kangxi asked Gao Xianda to pick people from the Xiao Cavalry Camp, completely because he took care of Gao Xianda, and it had little to do with Zarzhu himself.

But Zarzhu did not dare to slack off. Although he himself is not a member of the Aobai family, when Aobai was in power, he also had a lot of points, which kept his position. This morning, Kangxi announced the appointment and dismissal of personnel, and he almost lost his head, and it was inevitable that he had some heart palpitations. At this time, Kangxi sent Ruidong to him as the deputy commander, and he always felt that Ruidong was here to inspect the work, which made his heart furious.

He received Gao Xianda, let him into the camp, and chatted a few words. felt that Gao Xianda was a decent person, and his heart was a little at ease, so he hurriedly ordered to go down, ordered all the soldiers in the camp to come out, and lined up to meet the inspection of the officials.

Zarzhu is not a straw bale. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sit on this right seat. Soon, under the leadership of their respective generals, the soldiers went to the military field of the school to line up for drills.

I saw that these soldiers were neatly lined up, the military appearance was neat, and they advanced and retreated appropriately under the command of the drums, which showed that their morale was rising.

Gao Xianda applauded and said: "Lord Cha is strict in governing the army, and his combat effectiveness is extremely strong, comparable to Xiahoudun's tiger and leopard ride!" ”

The people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are familiar with the Three Kingdoms. Gao Xianda had naturally read it before, and at this moment he quoted the case of the Three Kingdoms to praise Zarzhu.

Charzhu smiled: "Brother Ruixian praised it. How can a foolish brother dare to compare with the ancients? ”

Gao Xianda said: "Brother Cha is too modest, in my opinion, the real elite of tiger and leopard riding is only 1,800 people, and Brother Cha's Xiao cavalry camp has more than 10,000 people, but it is as powerful as tiger and leopard riding." Brother Cha is still above Shuangxiahou! I have this talent, what a blessing from heaven! ”

When Zarzhu heard this, he laughed.

Ruidong was a close member of the emperor's side, and if he had this idea, the inspection would have been a success. If he can praise himself in front of Kangxi when he goes back, he may have a way to be promoted in the future!

Therefore, Zarzhu became more and more ostentatious, and after the performance of the queue, he ordered the soldiers below to demonstrate martial arts.

Similar to the Mongol soldiers, the bannermen were very good at horse archery, and soon two groups of soldiers rode out, and infantry set targets in the field in advance.

I saw these riders galloping on their horses, and in the process of moving at high speed, they did not forget to shoot targets with various difficult movements. Although it is not a hundred shots, it is also quite a high hit rate. It is naturally an extremely practical technique in the battlefield.

Gao Xianda couldn't help but shout hello again.

"Good! Good horse! Good bow! Good Kung Fu! Gao Xianda said.

Seeing that Gao Xianda liked it, Chaerzhu said: "Brother Xian also seems to be keen on bow horses, why don't you go down and have fun with the soldiers?" ”

Gao Xianda shook his head and said, his face was a little red, and he said: "Don't tell my brother, I am quite skilled in horseback riding, but it's a pity that I don't know how to shoot arrows......

Flag man man, the first to recommend horse archery, how can there be a reason not to shoot arrows? Seeing that Gao Xianda shirked, Zarzhu knew that his estimation level was limited, and he didn't want to show his clumsiness in front of his subordinates. But he confessed to himself so openly and honestly, but he was also a downright man.

He pointed to the knight who was galloping the most in the field and said, "His name is Mo Rigen, and he is a horse bow guard of the fifth grade, and the level of archery is the highest in our cavalry camp. If you have the chance, you can talk to him privately. ”

Gao Xianda said: "Big brother, you can really make fun of me, what kind of competition, it's true that I will ask him for advice!" ”

After another while, the mounted archery show ended, and the field changed people again, and began to practice Buku's craft.

Although Gao Xianda has not studied wrestling seriously, he also understands the principles of wrestling, and he can still understand the doorway.

These wrestlers on the field are not professional buku, so when falling, pay more attention to actual combat utility than ornamentation. This is in line with the theory of Krav Maga in the military. Gao Xianda saw it with interest.

Wrestling is not like archery. If the difficulty of archery is lowered, it is quite easy to hit the target without playing those fancy games. But wrestling is a game where two people have to win or lose.

Zarzhu was afraid of losing Gao Xianda's face, so he didn't propose to let Gao Xianda go to the competition. Just introduced Gao Xianda to these wrestlers in the ring. Gao Xianda remembered them all in his heart.

After the wrestling was over, it was a performance of some equipment fighting, because they used wooden knives and guns, and the routines were all common simple routines in the army, so there was nothing new, and Gao Xianda was boring to watch.

However, after practice, Wang Yu, as a low-level officer, also participated in the performance. Although he didn't use his fish scale purple gold knife, his martial arts were far superior to his colleagues, and he easily defeated his opponent and then went down.

Gao Xianda naturally wanted to applaud him.

I just watched it all the way, and it was getting dark. After all, the Xiao Cavalry Camp was outside the city, so Gao Xianda didn't plan to go back. Zarzhu set up a banquet to wash the dust for Gao Xianda.

From the two of them down, other officials of the rank of deputy commander, deputy general, staff general, guerrilla and so on all attended the banquet. A large room full of people sat around.

On a whim, Gao Xianda invited all the outstanding people he had just met. These officers and men were all middle- and lower-ranking officers, and they were not qualified to participate in this banquet. I was very happy to participate in this time.

At the banquet, Gao Xianda toasted these outstanding officers one by one, and was very enthusiastic. These people were naturally very excited when they saw that the new deputy capital could call their names.

People in the army are already temperamental, they like to drink, and when they are excited, they are more likely to drink more. Soon, the atmosphere was harmonious, and it was impossible to tell who was the chief and who was the subordinate. They all hugged each other and drank bitterly.

At this time, a general who had drunk too much came over and saluted Gao Xianda and said: "It has always been rumored that Deputy Chief Rui is known as the invincible Iron Palm. I don't want to ask for advice or two. (To be continued.) )
