Chapter 9: Horseback riding
Gradually, Orn began to get used to life in the Castle Lord's Mansion.
In the morning, there is a knight's breathing and physical training, and in the afternoon there is a sparring practice, Mr. Purton pointed out. Orn and the others also felt their great progress, and the knight's breathing method also mastered a little essence, and felt the growth of their bodies, and the amount of food for several people also increased a lot.
After the morning of basic training, Mr. Purton spoke to them as he assembled.
"I'm going to teach you something else this afternoon, which is essential for a knight. With mastery of it, you will be invincible on the battlefield. ”
As Mr. Pupton's words fell, everyone was a little excited, and they were all looking forward to what means would make them invincible on the battlefield?
After the noon break, everyone came to the square again, all waiting for what Mr. Purton had said.
After a while, in the expectation of everyone, Mr. Purton slowly came into view, and Mr. Purton was still holding a horse in his hand, a very strong black horse, much stronger than the horses that Orn usually saw, and Orn only thought that this horse could play some ordinary lion and tiger game.
As Mr. Purton approached, everyone gradually understood what he was talking about, but they did not dare to take it lightly, since they had seen the power of a full-fledged knight, they all knew that there must be a reason for Mr. Purton to be so strong, and as Mr. Purton stopped, the horse next to him was also kicking its hooves uneasily. Mr. Purton glanced at the crowd and said slowly.
"That's what I'm teaching you today, horseback riding! Horseback riding is a necessary skill for every knight, and if a knight can't ride a horse, then he is not a qualified knight! Moreover, if you have practiced your horsemanship well, you will not only be able to advance and retreat freely on the battlefield, but a knight can even defeat a hundred.
But horseback riding is not so simple, and there is also a lot of knowledge in it, especially the horses used by our official knights are pseudo-transcendent horses that contain some Warcraft blood, and Warcraft! You should all know a little bit about the situation, even I don't dare to collide with Warcraft easily.
Those horses with the blood of Warcraft their strength is not comparable to these ordinary horses, what I want to teach you today is the most basic, riding horses and some about horse maintenance and food handling.
Don't underestimate these basics, for on the battlefield, if your mount isn't properly adjusted, it could cost you your life at any time. You have to pay attention to it, you know? ”
Everyone was even more surprised when they heard Mr. Pupton's words, this is still an ordinary horse? This horse is as tall as Orn, and it feels like ordinary people can't control such a powerful horse at all.
However, when they think about it carefully, they take it for granted, they have seen the power of knights, and without a group of powerful horses to match, they can't give full play to the power of a full-fledged knight.
"Okay, now I'm going to explain to you, the most basic essentials of horseback riding..."
As Mr. Pupton's words fell, everyone hurriedly listened intently to what he had to say.
"Just as you practice the knight's breathing, you also have to try to feel the rhythm of the horse when you are driving it, so that you can better connect with each other. Treat him as if he were your own companion and he will treat you as a partner.
Some knights treat their horses better than their relatives, because their own lives are at stake. These knights are more nimble on the battlefield, their horses don't need special guidance, as long as they make some simple movements, the horses know what to do?
But the most basic thing for you now is to learn how to ride a horse and take care of it. These are also vital to you.
The maintenance of a good horse must be indispensable, sometimes the horse eats better than the human eat, not only the carefully selected soybeans, but also need to be equipped with some other medicinal materials in it, so that the horse can get better growth, you know? ”
Everyone was a little surprised, Orn didn't expect that there was so much knowledge in raising horses, not only better than human food, but also special people to serve.
"Now I will explain to you the essentials of horseback riding, you have to feel the rhythm of the horse, feel it with your own body, and when the horse runs, you have to use your body to cooperate with him and guide him! In order to be more satisfied, I will show you again. ”
Then Mr. Purton mounted his horse and rehearsed it for the crowd. At the end of his explanation, everyone had a deeper understanding of horseback riding, and then he stopped and said to everyone.
"Okay, now you guys go up and feel it, and I'll guide you on the side."
After hearing this, everyone also stepped forward to feel it, but these fierce horses were also very proud, and they all looked at them with a look of contempt when they saw everyone coming. Everyone was amazed, they felt contempt in the eyes of the horse, and they were all very unconvinced, and wanted to conquer it.
However, as they all went up one by one to try, they found that it was not easy, as long as someone went up to the horse, they would immediately throw him off, which also made everyone know more about horseback riding.
When everyone had tried it one by one, Orn walked up, and looked at the face standing next to him who was taller than himself, which also made him a little embarrassed, and he couldn't even go up.
Then he remembered what Mr. Purton had said, and then he turned over and rode on horseback, after all, his present strength was not to be underestimated. As he rode on horseback, Orn felt the horse's restlessness and restlessness. Orn recalled what Mr. Purton had said about feeling the rhythm of the horse with his own body.
He also slowly gained a new understanding from it, and gradually the horses also galloped slowly under his guidance, and everyone was amazed to see this scene, but they knew how difficult it was to do it for the first time.
The first time they went up just now, they were easily thrown off by this horse. Everyone looked a little itchy and wanted to ask how Orn did it?
And Orn, who was on horseback, was also very excited after feeling the rhythm of the horse's body and starting to run slowly. I didn't even think that I could do it so quickly, and I felt the rhythm of the horse's body. Soon Orn stopped his first horseback ride. After coming down, I was still very excited about the Olympics.
When everyone saw it, they hurriedly ran over and asked how it was done? And Orn also told them some of these skills and feelings, which benefited them a lot. Mr. Purton then walked over to them.
"Now you know that riding a horse isn't that easy, right? From now on, I will teach you how to ride a horse every five days. Hopefully, you'll all pick up the trick as quickly as Orn. Okay, I'll tell you a little bit more about that..."
……
In the evening, when he returned to his room, Orn was still excited, and everything that happened today was still vivid. All of this was impossible to touch when he was an apprentice in a blacksmith shop. And he's lucky enough to have a knighthood, so Orn is excited, and he appreciates the opportunity to get in touch with different things.
After reviewing the day's practice, Orn also began his own practice. , feel the rhythm of the body... Practice the actual breathing method. These are essential things for Orn every day, and he will devote all his energy to them. These are the foundation and refuge of his future life. And he finally had this opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it so easily.
Just like when he was in the blacksmith shop and the academy, even if he didn't make much progress in his daily practice, Orn believed that it would always add up and see the results one day, he was not in a hurry, he was looking forward to it.
