Chapter 59: Three Hundred Cavalry

The south gate of Huangsha County, that is, in terms of direction, towards this side of Liangguo, today the city gate is wide open, the Yamen military room is written in the military room, Zhu Dachun, who has an excellent reputation in the city, is dressed neatly, dragging a sick leg that was not very injured and lame when he joined the army in the early years out of the city gate, and after standing still in a place that is half a mile away from the city gate, he stood up straight, did not speak, just faced the east, and waited quietly with a solemn expression.

Although the whole city has four sides, east and west, north and south, but there are only two city gates, one south and one north, south in and north out, or south out and north in, so that the merchants who come and go through, there is no east and west city gate here, this is also the place where Huangsha County is completely different from other cities, it is something that was taken into account at the beginning of the establishment of the whole city.

One is that there is no need to build two more city gates to increase the consumption of materials, after all, if you want to build one more city gate, at least add one more built-in mechanism, and the city tower, etc., it is really costly, and the second is that when encountering foreign enemies attacking the city, it is basically a city gate made of mahogany covered iron, where there is a whole stone wall to be stable, and why add some more difficulty to defending the city.

Moreover, it was actually the three subordinate feudal towns in front of it that were really used as bazaars, not Huangsha County itself.

For the convenience of merchants, the bazaar can be built in all directions, even without a city wall, but there is no need for Huangsha County, a county town that guards the domain.

Directly behind Zhu Dachun, there were a hundred soldiers who had actually had a bit of military demeanor from the perspective of momentum, lined up in two rows, holding rough weapons in their hands, lined up in turn, extending from Zhu Dachun's back to the city gate, like a welcoming honor guard.

Seeing that their eyes are firm, they stand straight, and their muscles are erect, which really gives people a feeling of rising sun, and there is infinite hope for the future.

Even Zhu Dachun himself had to admit that although the Rakshasa clan was a foreign race in the sand sea, they were indeed all born warriors, and these people only needed a little training to already have such an extraordinary atmosphere as they are now.

Compared with the people of the surrounding countries, this kind of people who have lived in the desert for generations, their ancestors have grown up in an extremely harsh environment, and they will be born stronger than others, physical strength, endurance, and explosive power, they are far better than others, they are just poor in effective training, but Zhu Dachun is an expert in this, and the soldiers trained by his hands are really not much worse than the regular army.

This talent of the Rakshasa clan is actually very easy to understand, because the people of the surrounding countries are self-sufficient in farming, and because they have the jurisdiction of the imperial court, they don't need to worry too much about others, and they don't need to work too hard, as long as the taxes of the imperial court are not too heavy, and there are no natural disasters, they can basically live, which is why it is not to the point of starvation, and there is basically no one in the human race who will rebel, because the sharp spirit of their ancestors has been exhausted in the labor year after year, and they are used to facing the loess with their backs to the sky, the determination to fight with the same clan, for the Rakshasa clan, there are so many things in the desert, if I don't kill you, I will starve to death, so they are naturally warlike and warlike.

This is the difference between the sheep in captivity and the wolves in the forest, although the people of the surrounding countries are a little weaker, but their brains are good, and the Rakshasa people are not good at brains, but the individual combat effectiveness is very strong.

In this regard, Zhu Dachun could only sigh secretly in his heart, thanks to the general lack of training of these Rakshasa tribes, and they are illiterate at all, most of them have no brains, do not understand the art of war, and fight each other again, so far there is no strong leader to integrate them together, otherwise this southern land is really going to change.

This point, Gu Cang actually said to Ning Shuang a long time ago, if they don't subdue and assimilate these Rakshasa tribes in the desert, or simply kill them all, and completely exterminate them as soon as possible, otherwise, in a few hundred years, when they slowly establish their own culture, after they learn the things of the surrounding countries, and after they have a leader who is strong enough to integrate them all, the Rakshasa clan will definitely become the masters of the south, either taking advantage of the chaos in the troubled times, or taking advantage of the decline of the unified empire in the south, to rise and become the new king of the southlands, although they are also destined to be corrupted by the extravagant Terran culture, indulged in enjoyment, and eventually became a drop in the ocean of history, but this thing is still too terrible to think about, isn't it?

Among the more than 100 people, the vast majority of them are Rakshasa people, these people may have joined in at the beginning for the household registration of Liangguo, as well as the various benefits promised by the yamen, but after staying in the military camp for a long time, it is natural that they will really integrate into it, especially in a place like Huangsha County, the two sides have been living together for many years, there is no prejudice and discrimination between each other, they eat, live and train together every day, and they will soon be able to get together, this is the assimilation that Gu Cang admires, change the barbarians with their own advanced and changeable civilization, let them also learn the teachings of the saints, and integrate in sincerely, and even be ashamed to be with their original selvesThis is the best way to deal with aliens.

When Zhu Dachun was thinking about these things, far away, suddenly a burst of sand and dust was lifted from afar, and the yellow color even covered the sky, Zhu Dachun frowned, and quickly looked into the distance, trying to widen his eyes and observe, suddenly, his face changed greatly, he quickly turned his head, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind: "Enter the city, quickly, enter the city!"

The first time I saw Zhu Dachun become so flustered, the soldiers behind him were also panicked, and they broke their work in an instant, and quickly retreated towards the city, although these people looked good for the time being, but in the end they were all newcomers who had never seen blood, and they needed to go through the baptism of blood wars before they could grow into real elite soldiers, and when the time came, at least half of the hundred people would have to die, and the so-called war was so cruel.

The group finally entered the city in a hurry, and by the time they closed the gates, a large group of men and horses had already appeared in the distance.

Gu Xuan and Lu Yi rode horses and walked in the front, while Jinglong and the Ma brothers fell behind in the rear, and there were another three hundred horsemen in the middle who drove three hundred war horses and one hundred captives slowly forward, gathering into a vast group of people.

In order to prevent the undead horse bandit captives from rioting, all of them were urged by the Xiong Zhen soldiers to come on foot, and after walking such a long way, and without food or water, one or two, they were already exhausted and their mouths were dry, and in this case, they couldn't run even if they were let go.

After all, there is still a distance between Huangsha County and Yanzhou, and if these three hundred guards generously sent by Wanyan Keni to escort them return the same way and walk back, then they don't know how many days it will take, so Wanyan Keni waved his hand and directly rowed a full three hundred captured war horses on the spot to use when these people went back.

These Yanzhou people are not all natural cavalry, they can drive them as soon as they get on the horse, and because they are all descendants of nomads, they have been exposed to it since they were children, and they also drove the other three hundred war horses given to Gu Xuan steadily, wrapped in the middle, and as the team marched slowly, there was not even a horse running around in the middle.

There were six hundred horses and more than four hundred people here, and they walked all the way, and naturally set off the monstrous yellow sand, no wonder Zhu Dachun took a look at it and retreated to the city in a panic, where would he have thought that so many things would happen to Gu Xuan and his party for a day.

Zhu Dachun stood at the head of the city, leaned down with difficulty, and looked out from the gap in the battlements, and saw the two horsemen in front walking aside, still talking and laughing along the way, looking at it like that, who are it not Gu Xuan and Lu Yi?

But in order to ensure that there was no hindrance, the cautious Zhu Dachun still waited for a while, and waited until the other party got closer and was sure, and then hurriedly urged the person next to him to order: "It's the prince who is back! Open the city gate quickly!"

At this time, the group of people coming from the opposite side also slowly stopped.

The heavy city gate slowly opened with the sound of the machine, and Zhu Dachun dragged the lame leg and hurriedly led someone out again.

Seeing this, Gu Xuan immediately grabbed the reins, then quickly turned over and dismounted, and hurriedly greeted him, as soon as he met, he said angrily to Zhu Dachun: "Old Zhu, why bother, you have to take care of your body, otherwise who will these soldiers and cubs let practice in the future, I received your mind this time, but next time you just stay in the city, what's the matter, send someone to the yamen to find me, I will go to you in person!"

Although he was missing an eye, he also saw Zhu Dachun running up and down from a distance, and knew that he had been injured when he was young, his leg was lame, and he had been unable to rope, and it was really a torment to climb up and down like this.

In this regard, Zhu Dachun grinned and said movingly: "Lord Wang, don't worry." ”

He knew that the little prince in front of him really cared about him, so he was naturally very moved.

As he spoke, he waved his hand to the back again, and a hundred or so people understood, and at the same time slapped his chest heavily, let out a neat shout, and then shouted in unison: "Welcome to the prince!"

Gu Xuan raised his head, looked at the hundred young men in front of him with a smile on his face, and nodded with great satisfaction, after working hard for so long, it was finally a bit weather, and he was no longer the weak and bullied he was at the beginning, he was naturally very happy.

Zhu Dachun also had a proud expression and said to Gu Xuan: "Lord Wang, fortunately, I am not dishonored!"

"This is all the credit of Zhu Lao. Gu Xuan saw it and said with emotion, "Old Zhu, I want to ask you a question, I don't know if I can answer it?"

Zhu Dachun lowered his head, clenched his fists and bowed and said, "Lord Wang, please speak, as long as your subordinates know, they will not hide it!"

Gu Xuan turned around, and accompanied by Lu Yi, who had also dismounted next to him, he walked in front of the three hundred war horses, with an excited look on his face, and said loudly to Zhu Dachun: "Can the cavalry practice?"

This cavalry is not the same as infantry, and the way of training is even different, the so-called art industry has a specialty, although Zhu Dachun is good at training infantry, he may not know how to train cavalry, so Gu Xuan asked this question.

Zhu Dachun raised his head, looked at the hundreds of war horses in front of him, his eyes widened, he had already reacted a little, and asked Gu Xuan in a trembling voice in a tone of disbelief: "This, this is all ours?"

No wonder he wasn't surprised, this war horse was a scarce resource everywhere, how could he get hundreds of horses just by going out?

Gu Xuan couldn't help but laugh at him: "Where can it, Old Zhu, you think beautifully, only half of this place is ours, and the other half has to be returned to others in the end." ”

At this moment, the three hundred people who originally belonged to the Xiong Zhen army under Wanyan Keni came over from the other side under the leadership of the young general who had sent Gu Xuan and Jinglong away from Kanmeng'an.

The young general of Xiong Zhenjun, who had a finger-long Yanzhou pigtail, knelt down on one knee, hugged his fist at Gu Xuan and shouted: "Lord Wang, the people and horses have been delivered, and the last general should also go back to resume his life, so I have come to bid farewell to the prince!"

Seeing this, Gu Xuan frowned and said, "Why don't you stay here for another night?" It's not too early now, if you go back now, I'm afraid you'll have to go at night." ”

The danger of walking at night, he Gu Xuanna knew best, if he hadn't been in a hurry to go back, so he wouldn't have lost even one of his eyes if he took that road.

When the young general heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "The general gave us an order before leaving, we must rush back before tomorrow, and the end will take people to the line of Youzhou, although it has been detoured a little, but there is absolutely no problem with safety." ”

Youyan and Yan are adjacent to each other, from the south bypass through Youzhou and then run back to Yanzhou, that is naturally no problem, on the border of this one, there is a fortress at a distance, there are troops in it, and there is a beacon tower to transmit information, whether it is a horse bandit or a regular army defending the country, they will never dare to come over easily, even if they don't want to be found out that they have come to Huangsha County, just rely on this side, then safety is not a problem.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xuan's face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you want to refuse this king?"

The young general kneeling opposite was startled, and suddenly hesitated, and he didn't know how to answer this question.

Just when the atmosphere became more and more embarrassing, Lu Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The prince is joking with you, don't take it seriously, the prince is just worried that you are hungry and wants to keep you for dinner." ”

As soon as he said this, Gu Xuan immediately burst out laughing.

The young general breathed a sigh of relief, but he still hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for the prince's kindness, but you also know the temper of my general, if I go back late, I will have a hard time, and please forgive me." ”

Gu Xuan waved his hand and said casually: "Go back, by the way, I will help this king bring a message to Yan Keni, and say that I hope to cooperate happily in Japan." ”

The other side hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes! ”
