Chapter 87: Cavalry Training
The deepest feeling is still those who have just learned to ride horses.
Seeing that the general was running so fast, they had to speed up to catch up, and their legs involuntarily stepped on the stirrups.
Although it shook a little, it didn't fall.
They ran back to the vicinity of the barracks and experienced the feeling of galloping horses, and they didn't know how refreshing.
That thing called a saddle is simply an artifact for horse riding.
The general is amazing!
"Dismount and march into the barracks."
After Bai Zhong stopped, he asked people to pass down this order.
Ruishi, who had just learned to ride a horse, had a feeling of unfinished thinking in his heart, and wanted to run again, but he could only dismount and return to the barracks first.
"Thank you, General!"
Among the Ruishi, there was one person who shouted like this.
Then 5,000 people shouted out in unison.
Bai Zhong was still quite proud in his heart, but he didn't show it, and waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back to eat and rest!" ”
The warriors took their horses and went back to the camp to rest in an orderly manner.
"General White has finally returned."
Wang Jian inspected the military camp as usual, and happened to come here, and he also saw what he had just seen.
"See the General!"
Bai Zhong and they saluted.
Wang Li smiled and said, "Father, I finally saw those saddles. ”
Wang Jian said with a serious face: "You kid, it's not big or small, this is a military camp." ”
"Oh, General!"
Wang Li immediately changed his words, but he still smiled.
Now is not the time for training, or reviewing military parades, fighting, etc., and there are not so many rules.
Wang Jian looked at their war horses and asked, "General Bai has already traded the war horses back?" ”
"I came back from trading, and I prepared five thousand saddles in advance, and I just took them out for a lap, and the effect was very good."
Bai Zhong briefly talked about today's matter.
Meng Tian echoed: "When I got the saddle, I felt that I could go and fight with Li Mu's cavalry. ”
Wang Li agreed: "Father, I too, when will we attack Zhao again?" ”
Seeing that they all couldn't wait to compete with Li Mu, Wang Jian laughed: "The saddle is really magical, it seems that the saddle of my cavalry should also be manufactured at a faster speed, when to attack Zhao, or wait for the king's order." ”
"Okay, you've been running outside since the afternoon, and you've only come back now, you shouldn't have eaten yet, so go back and rest!"
He waved his hand and continued to inspect the barracks.
Back to camp.
Bai Zhong handed over his horse to Wang Li and Meng Tian, and then went back to dinner.
"General, I have the meat heated, come and eat it."
Ren Huan brought a big bowl of mutton.
However, there were only a few hundred people in the place where they usually ate, and the meat was put aside casually, and it seemed that no one came to eat it.
Bai Zhong asked strangely, "What about the others?" ”
Ren Huan said with a smile: "They are all in the stable, Geng Wu, Zhang Tang and Zhang Han, they all went to the stable, I can't wait to sleep with the war horse tonight, one of the general's horses, they can not even want meat." ”
Bai Zhong: "......"
He couldn't understand for a moment that the charm of a horse could be so great.
The attitude of people in this era towards horses may be similar to that of men in later generations towards a car.
"Then let's eat first, and let people tell them that tomorrow they will get up at sunrise to train, and if anyone can't get up from their late sleep, I will take back their war horses."
Bai Zhong was worried that they would really sleep with the horses in their arms, and this scene was very spectacular.
Ren Huan said, "I'll go tell them." ”
Tonight, Bai Zhong did not return to Xianyang.
Early the next morning, he asked Tian Zhen to wake everyone up and get up to train.
"Get on your horse and go outside the barracks."
Bai Zhong quickly led them to gather, looked at the five thousand people sitting on horseback, and said: "Tian Zhen, Luo Qing and Zhang Han, you lead my short soldiers in the front, and the others are behind, since you like horses so much, and you also like to run fast horses, from now on, starting from the Lantian camp and ending at the Tibetan Army Valley Ranch, run ten round-trips, if you don't complete the task before the middle of the day, you can only drink water all day today, Zhang Han, the three of you are responsible for counting, start!" ”
When they heard that they could run happily, they all rode forward excitedly.
But in the blink of an eye, there was no shadow.
Bai Zhong shook his head helplessly, and then followed them, but instead of going to the pasture, he went to the place where the horizontal knife was made.
"See the general!"
When the craftsmen here saw him coming, they kept saluting.
More than 20 Korean craftsmen began to teach the craftsmen of the 1,000 Wulu the techniques of steelmaking.
Bai Zhong briefly inspected it and asked, "How have you been doing these days?" ”
A Korean craftsman stepped forward and said, "We have built twenty-three knives, but none of them have been sharpened, and they have been tested, and the hardness and toughness are not bad." ”
Bai Zhong said: "Take it and take a look." ”
Soon a few craftsmen brought the knives over.
Now that the handle is ready, it's time to open the edge.
Bai Zhong casually picked up a knife and folded it in half, the blade of the knife was only bent for a while, it was not broken, and it was also not deformed, and he said with satisfaction: "Good job, what are you called?" ”
He asked the craftsman who spoke.
"Liu Yuanxiang, see general."
The craftsman felt that he was going to be favored by the general.
Bai Zhong remembered his name and said, "You take ten people, if the ten people with the best skills, leave with me now, I have another task to hand over to you." ”
The craftsmen here are gradually maturing, and there is no big problem, and the next thing to do is to develop crossbows.
"Yui!"
Liu Yuanxiang hurriedly said.
These ten people with the best skills, he is also easy to find, they are all people from the Han Army, they are very familiar with each other's situation, and they will find all the people in a short time.
They followed Bai Zhong and left, and all the rest stayed here.
Arrived at the place where the crossbow was forged.
Two furnaces had already been built, and a perimeter had been built around the perimeter according to Bai Zhong's request, and everything was almost ready.
Bai Zhong took out the production drawings of the crossbow in the system space and gave them them.
"How?"
"It's complicated!"
Liu Yuanxiang hadn't finished reading it yet, and he felt that it would be very troublesome to build this thing.
The structure above is as complex as it is.
Bai Zhong also handed him the crossbow and advised: "This is the prototype, you keep it first, the standard I want is exactly the same as this one, you can disassemble and study, even if you can't put it back, it's no problem, there is no such hurry as a knife here, you can slowly grope for it." ”
"In addition, I have a suggestion to split the various components of this crossbow, let different people be responsible for manufacturing, and finally assemble each part into a complete crossbow."
"For example, Liu Yuanxiang, you are in charge of the crossbow arm, so you will specially build the crossbow arm, and then assemble it with various other parts."
"I call this an assembly line, and it's going to be much faster than building one."
He briefly explained the method, put down the crossbow and the drawings, and told again: "This crossbow is very powerful, don't easily face your own people, after all the furnaces are built, you must start thinking about how to make it, there is no time limit, if you can't build it, you can let someone tell me, understand?" ”
"Got it!"
Liu Yuanxiang and the others nodded one after another.
