Chapter 126: The Captured War Horse
It's trying to stall for time.
Zhao Zhangyun has no idea in his heart at the moment, he needs to think about how to solve this problem.
At the moment, people must not be given the opportunity to go to court.
As a county magistrate, as long as he doesn't show his face, no one dares to really characterize this matter.
Drag things out first, and you'll have time to figure it out.
There will definitely be a way.
Soon after.
The next person hurriedly came to report the news again.
Zhao Zhangyun, who was already annoyed enough, chuckled in his heart.
Could there be anything worse?
After listening to the news brought by the next person again, Zhao Zhangyun couldn't help laughing, and then said viciously: "I didn't expect you Gong Zihong to have such an end." ”
For Gong Zihong, Zhang Zhangyun hated it.
First broke into Liu's Mansion, and then entered Huai'en Temple at night.
This is to start a war with the two largest forces in Min County.
Moreover, he is too accurate, and he is all hitting snakes and hitting seven inches.
He had the account book of the collusion between the Liu Mansion and the tile bandits, and he arrested the evidence of Huai'en Temple on the spot in front of people.
This series of means is enough to see Gong Zihong's ambition.
Under his continuous suppression, soon, Min County will be his family's dominance.
I thought he was a person who was promoted by connections.
I didn't expect his methods to be so sharp.
I'm still thinking about it.
Suddenly, the next person came to tell him that Gong Zihong had planted a heel, and he had planted a big heel.
There are so many people in the Terracotta Division that they can't even catch a woman, and Gong Zihong is still taken hostage.
In the end, he got out, but the Terracotta Division injured many people.
It's not just that.
Due to the transfer of troops to arrest a woman, the soldiers and horses were insufficient, and finally ...... Someone stole his home.
The Terracotta Division, the reason why it is called the Terracotta Division, as the name suggests, in addition to soldiers, there are also horses.
If you really want to talk about it, horses are more valuable than soldiers.
The horse here does not refer to an ordinary horse, but a war horse that can go to the battlefield to fight.
Gong Zihong stood in front of the horse shed of the Terracotta Division.
The door of the stables was wide open, and the dozen or so horses that were supposed to be in the stables were gone, including the supporting equipment of the horses.
War horses are precious, and in places like Min County, there are only a dozen war horses.
Not just a casual horse can become a war horse.
As far as the horses of Daqin are concerned, they are not suitable for being war horses, and those who can become war horses are all obtained from the north at a great cost.
And after having a war horse, it has to be raised and trained......
Much more money is spent on a war horse than on a soldier.
Moreover, war horses can only be possessed by the Terracotta Division.
It is illegal for ordinary people to raise war horses.
War horses belong to the strategic level of materials, and with war horses, there can be cavalry.
In battle, the cavalry of a large size is invincible.
The reason why Great Qin lost battles every year was that there were many cavalry foreign enemies.
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the most powerful weapon of destruction.
Throughout history.
Emperors who can rule the world will have a powerful cavalry behind them.
Like what.
Liu Xiu's Youzhou Assault Ride.
Li Shimin's Xuanjia fine horse.
The Jingsai Army of the Northern Song Dynasty.
It is no exaggeration to say that those who win cavalry win the world.
There is an interesting comparison.
The value of a cavalry in ancient times is comparable to that of a modern aircraft carrier.
It's expensive, and people can't afford it.
But once you have it.
You have the capital to dominate the world.
It is not difficult to simply form a cavalry, but it is difficult to follow-up maintenance, training, and supporting equipment.
is as powerful as Li Shimin, and the Xuanjia elite rider in his hand is only 3,000 people.
It's not that I don't want to expand.
It's really impossible to raise.
As far as war horses are concerned.
The requirements for war horses are very high, and those who can become war horses are all from the north.
The north is blessed with a natural horse ranch.
War horses in the north have a better physique.
Cavalry who want to go to the battlefield must wear armor and weapons.
Even the war horse will have matching equipment.
After this outfit, it is difficult for ordinary horses to even walk, let alone gallop on the battlefield.
This requires that the physical fitness of the war horse must be good.
A war horse with a good physique will consume more.
The food consumption of a simple war horse is worth a few ordinary households.
Of course, the role that war horses can play is just as huge.
A qualified cavalryman plays a role on the battlefield that a soldier cannot compare.
One cavalry can break a formation of ten soldiers.
And ten soldiers are not necessarily able to defeat one cavalry.
And when the cavalry is on a large scale, it is even more terrifying.
Often a war, after a few charges by the cavalry, the victory and defeat are decided.
Cavalry can tear through enemy formations, cut through enemies, and leave them on their own.
And the cavalry wanted to run, but the enemy couldn't catch up.
Great Qin was often puzzled by the cavalry of foreign enemies.
The foreign enemy cavalry can go straight into the hinterland of Great Qin, as long as they don't enter the city, they can plunder at will, anyway, the soldiers of Great Qin can't catch up.
Back to the war horse.
The value of a war horse cannot be estimated simply by money.
Due to the difficulty of obtaining it, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a war horse.
More horses were captured from the enemy during the battle.
War horses were even less likely to circulate in the trading market, and they were all distributed by the imperial court.
War horses do have a price, but you can't buy them, they belong to special supplies.
Take Min County as an example, there are only a dozen war horses in a soldier and horse division.
It can be said that these dozen or so war horses are the most valuable things in the Terracotta Division.
But now.
Nope.
More than a dozen horses were gone.
Just when Gong Zihong transferred troops to capture the Chu barbarian slaves.
A group of people sneaked up on the Terracotta Division.
Even the soldiers and horses dared to sneak attack, and in a normal situation, this is to send people to the head.
The results were unexpected.
The sneak attack was successful, and the horses of the Terracotta Division were taken away.
Just because, a large number of the staff of the Terracotta Division were transferred away by Gong Zihong.
The weakness of the military force is the most fundamental reason.
Plus, this group of people is really not simple.
Simply put, war horses are professionally trained and recognized, and it is impossible for strangers to control war horses.
But this group of people immediately rode on the war horse, and made the war horse obey their command.
And when this group of people put on the supporting equipment of the war horse, they were like a cavalry.
If the weak soldiers and horses want to stop them, it becomes impossible.
After the gang kidnapped the war horses, they fled from Min County as soon as possible.
When they fled, the gates of Min County were opened for them.
I don't know when, the control of the city gate of Min County also fell into their hands.
When this group of people rode out of the city on war horses, the sky was high and the birds could fly, and the sea was wide and the fish jumped.
Gong Zihong rushed back to the Terracotta Division as soon as he received the news, and what he saw was an empty horse shed.
The others weren't close enough to Gong Zihong.
Just from his expression, he knew that he shouldn't provoke Gong Zihong at this time.
Under extreme emotion, Gong Zihong's face distorted into a ball.
