readx;
Outside the city of Xinghua is a fertile water and grass, only to the north dozens of miles is an endless desert, here is like a huge oasis, a big river flows endlessly tumbling past, the river water is clear, deep to see the bottom. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Near the river, there are camps in the upper and lower reaches, and there are scouts walking back and forth along the river, especially a small group of Song military captains, who are in a camp upstream to monitor early in the morning.
The camp of the lieutenant was set up in the middle reaches, and the upper reaches were the camp of the Jin army, and Li Qing had already explained that in order to prevent the Jin army from damaging the river, he must keep an eye on it at all times and report back as soon as there is news.
The camp of the Jin army seemed a little lazy, not because of lax armament, but because of its disdain for their opponents. On the lookout, Wanyan Zongjie rushed out of the city, looking at the small black dot in the distance, his face was cold, and a golden warrior with braids behind him said: "Your Highness, these people came at dawn and have been wandering in that place, I don't know if it is to spy on our movements, so we sent a scout over, it should be the Southern Barbarians." β
Wanyan Zongjie sneered: "They are not here to spy, they are afraid that we will make trouble in the river." Then he smiled and said: "Don't pay attention to them, in the words of the Southern Barbarians, they are living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and my Dajin warriors can crush them in an instant on the battlefield, without using conspiracy." β
The Jin Man Warrior smiled: "It's just that these Southern Barbarians are really annoying, like flies. β
Wanyan Zongjie laughed loudly and said, "Gather my guards, I want to leave the camp." β
Coming down from the lookout, there have been dozens of golden soldiers turning over on their horses, waiting at the gate, someone brought a horse to Wanyan Zongjie, Wanyan Zongjie turned over, sat on the horseback, the whole person instantly became self-assured, the bucket-like waist also became a lot more heroic at this time, he pulled out the saber on his waist, and shouted: "Eagles, follow me to catch flies, drive ......"
Kicking the horse's belly with a spur, the horse that sat down was like an arrow off its bow, and rushed out of the gate as fast as a fly.
"Yo he......" The cavalry behind him cheered loudly, and then they also followed quickly, rushing towards the Song army scouts.
There are only a dozen scouts, seeing the Jin army out of the camp galloping to this side, and they do not come into contact with them head-on, the horses of the Song army are not slow, a thousand captains bring, are the Khitan tribute war horses, and after careful selection, the selection is the desert field pony, this kind of horse in later generations called Mongolian horses, endurance is the most amazing, at the beginning of the Jin people to catch up, but gradually, they were thrown down.
These lieutenants sat on horseback for a whole year, their riding skills were no worse than those of the Jin people, and they were extremely familiar with the characteristics of war horses.
This time, after teaching Yan Zongjie to be stunned, the war horses of the Jin Kingdom are all extremely divine horses, especially the guards brought by this trip, they are even more of a thousand Dawan horses, this kind of war horse has an excellent coat color, and its explosiveness is also extremely strong, and it is invincible when it charges in battle, who knows that it can't compare to these southern barbarians.
He smiled hideously, reined in his horse, and the Jin army behind him also gathered around him, looking at the back of the Song army scout who disappeared on the horizon in the distance and gradually turned into a black spot, a Jin military said in a golden language: "Your Highness, the horse of the Southern Barbarian is so fast." β
Wanyan Zongjie shook his head and said disdainfully: "They didn't wear armor, and they didn't bring weapons, and the weight of the war horses was less, so they were naturally faster than us. With that, he turned his horse back to the camp.

In the camp of the Song army, a very wide Happy Valley is set up in all directions in the middle of the barracks, fifty captains are a team, and the captains of each team are running in the Happy Valley on horseback, although the area here is large, but it is a little cramped compared to the cavalry, especially in the fast running, a team of cavalry may meet head-on at any time, in order to prevent collisions, the captains must be like a snake, use all their resources to control the sitting war horse, at any time obliquely rush, run fast, sprint, play horizontal and turn the direction.
The twenty detachments kept running, but they didn't seem to be chaotic at all, and there were no bumps. This kind of drill has been going on for half a year, and at the beginning, I don't know how many people collided with each other, and in the first few months, seven or eight lieutenants were seriously injured and died, and all of them had been injured, but later, the situation gradually improved, and the lieutenants gradually became proficient.
However, just letting the horses run in the twenty teams of horses is only the beginning, and the real difficulty lies in the sudden command of the team officer in front of him: "Due south and northeast corner, the fourteenth arrow target to the eighteenth arrow target." The order came that all the lieutenants in the squad must bend their bows as fast as they could, take arrows from behind them and from the quivers straddled on their horses, and shoot arrows at their targets as they run, and to avoid colliding with other horses.
The difficulty of the drill is extremely great, it can not be completed overnight, just for this, it has taken more than half a year to have a little appearance, in the process of galloping, while listening to the eight directions, while running, it is not easy to shoot the arrow target as much as possible, not to mention the Khitan and Western Xia people, even the Jin cavalry can not do it. Jin Guoren is really brave, but the discipline is much worse than the captain, to complete this kind of exercise, discipline is the top priority, if one person keeps scheduling, falls behind or hesitates when releasing arrows, the next moment maybe the entire training ground will be chaotic, and there may even be stray arrows to hurt people.
The southerners are good at boats, the northerners are good at horses, this eternal truth is not wrong, in fact, it is nothing more than living habits, there is a lot of water in the south, no boat can not be made, a horse in the north is a flat river, no horse can not travel far, the horse military captain has been practicing day and night, all year round without stopping, and finally responded to the old saying, practice makes perfect.
The captains on these horses were already drenched in hot sweat, and the horses they sat on were gradually exhausted, and each of them shot twenty arrows, and ran for an hour and a half, before Li Qing ordered a temporary rest. All the horses in the horse farm gradually stopped, and the captains shot thirty arrows in a row, and their arm strength was exhausted, and the last few arrows were almost shot with all their might, and many people turned over and dismounted, led the horses out of the horse farm, and went to the stable to feed the horses some clear water and forage.
The doctors began to go in with pen and paper, and collected arrows from various targets, and each team's arrows were marked with markings, and in this way, they could record the number of times each team had shot at the target, and after half an hour, they would report to the battalion.
On the side of the camp, Shen Ao was accompanied by Li Qing from the horse farm in a fox fur cloak, pointed out some mistakes and omissions with several instructors, and then looked at the results sent by the doctor, and said with a smile: "There is some progress today, but I was hit by 3,200 arrows, not bad......"
said a good word, Li Qinghe immediately laughed heartily, as an instructor and coach, his grades have improved, and he naturally feels gratified.
Shen Ao continued: "Among them, the third battalion and the fourth team had the best results, with a total of 193 arrows, but the problem is still in the 3rd battalion, why did the 3rd battalion and the first team only hit 72 arrows, and who is the head of the third battalion. β
A sect leader was happy at first, and then his face turned into pig liver again, and he blushed and came out ashamedly: "The first team's usual results are not bad, but today I don't know why, it is so bad." β
Shen Ao said: "Just call out for training later, but the rewards and punishments can't be less, the three teams will have more meals for these three days, and the monthly salary will be increased by one percent." As for the first team, in the past few days, the whole battalion has been handed over to them, telling them that they want to be ashamed, it is useless to just call, and show their real skills. β
When the head heard this, he said impatiently: "Humble yourself and go to the whole training." β
Shen Ao sat in the camp, talked to the leaders again, and planned the afternoon drill, before saying: "The night class can't be stopped, although we will have to fight in two days, and we don't have to go to the temporary cramming, how to practice is still according to the rules." β
The instructions were almost done, and the head of the sect went about his own business.
Li Qing deliberately stayed behind and said to Shen Ao: "Lord Wang, the scouts were released this morning, and the Jin army came out to drive them away, but they tried the horsepower of the Jin army. β
Shen Ao raised his eyebrows and said, "Go on." β
Li Qingdao: "The war horses of the Jin army are all war horses in the Dawan area, the divine horses are very strong, and the sprinting power is also extremely strong, but after running a few steps, they still can't catch up with our scouts." The prince is right, the desert horse looks short and inconspicuous, but the foot strength is first-class good, I can't see it at first, but after running for a long time, the characteristics come out. β
Shen Ao smiled and said, "Besides, this kind of horse is easy to feed, isn't it?" β
Li Qing smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Jin Jun will be alert in advance if he finds out about this." β
Shen Ao pouted and said: "There's nothing to worry about, even if they know our method, they can't learn it, we have targeted drills, to complete this tactic, it is not possible to complete it overnight, it must be done as one order, Jin Ren is brave, but the restraint is not strong." β
Li Qing glanced at Shen Ao strangely, and couldn't help but say: "The prince is obviously a scholar, but he seems to know everything, and he can't teach people to see through." β
Shen Ao laughed and said: "Xiucai knows the world without going out, but you who are riding on horses can't see through the game." This king only pointed out some methods, and you want you to do it, and you can leave this king, but this king can't leave you, otherwise it will be just talk on paper. β
Li Qing also laughed, and said: "The prince is serious, but then again, when I didn't go back to Xixia, I missed it very much, and this trip back, but there was not much change, or stay with the captains to be more relaxed, from now on, Li Qing will always follow the prince, no matter what the prince wants to do in the future, Li Qing will accompany him to the end." β
