Chapter 46: The Cavalry

Heavy armor soldiers smash trees and open rocks every day, which is regarded as training.

The smashed trees are used as firewood, and the stones can be used to build a dock fort, or they can be used as stones for storage.

The heavy armoured soldiers are there, and the cavalry must follow.

Coupled with the war horses sent by King Zheng's family, there were a total of 53 war horses on the mountain, and there were more than 170 mules and donkeys combined.

Li Yue allocated twenty war horses to the ten most elite scouts.

The rest were gathered together with mules and donkeys to make a cavalry of two hundred men.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and having cavalry and not having cavalry are completely two different concepts.

Just like the Mongolian navy in later generations, the name is hung first.

At that time, Shi Le gathered eighteen Hu cavalry to take refuge in Jisang, and then took more than 200 cavalry with Jisang to join the Gongshi Domain, and then gradually started to start.

The war horses of the Central Plains are not much stronger than donkeys and mules.

The high-quality war horses are in the hands of the Tuoba family and the Murong family, and the Central Plains has been tossed for so many years, and people can't survive anymore, so naturally they can't afford to raise war horses.

The endurance of the wild donkey is OK, it is easy to feed, and the combat effectiveness is strong, and the folk have a donkey enemy and three wolves, the only drawback is that it is stubborn, and the temper comes up, and it does not listen to people's calls.

Now there is only this condition, people are poor, they have to use their brains more, and they can't get alive, and they can be mobile foot soldiers in the future, which is better than interspersing on the battlefield with two legs.

Some scouts felt that wild donkeys were easy to feed and trouble-free, and it was not a pity to lose them, so they took the initiative to ask for wild donkeys, and Li Yue left them alone.

Li Yue basically doesn't have to worry about training, just fight with the beasts.

The tiger is located in the south of the river, the boundary of the Song Mountain, the forest is vast, and the beasts are everywhere.

Wild sheep run all over the mountain, wild boars and hares arch all over the land.

These things are extremely reproductive, and when there are fewer people, there are more of them.

With mounts, the scouts travel far and every time they go on patrol, they always bring back some prey.

Over time, the cavalry and the wild asses gradually got used to each other.

As long as you follow their temper, the effect is not bad.

The donkey's temper is not all bad, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire also dare to rush in, bolder than the war horse, the war horse saw the wolf and leopard, and the legs trembled, but the wild donkey was not afraid of them, and when he was in a hurry, he rushed up to bite him.

As for equipment, put on a few layers of straw mats as saddles, and split a few branches as stirrups.

The leather armor sent by Fangtou is not of high quality, and it is obviously an obsolete thing, but it can still be used for sewing and repairing.

The cavalrymen wore leather armor and carried short spears, and rode on them, and it was the same thing.

Anyway, Li Yue personally thinks that the equipment of an army is very important, but it is not decisive.

The rich and the rich play, the poor and the poor.

As long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties, it is better to be poor, barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes, dare to fight and kill.

What about being well-equipped?

In the battle of Kuxian, Sima Yue, the king of the East China Sea, led more than 200,000 people to cut Shile, suddenly a life whimpered, the army elected the famous man Wang Yan as the commander, more than 100,000 Jin troops were hunted and killed by Shile 20,000 light horsemen like wild beasts, the Jin army trampled on each other, the dead were like mountains, none of them were spared......

The equipment of the Jin army was inferior to Shile? Inferior to Shile?

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of people, Wang Yan is handsome, holding heavy troops, but he is afraid of taking responsibility, he does not dare to fight, he just wants to escape, and carries Sima Yue's coffin to the East China Sea for burial, it seems that in his eyes, a dead Sima Yue is more important than hundreds of thousands of soldiers, more important than the northern country, and more important than thousands of people.

In the end, the hope of the Han people to restore the rivers and mountains was annihilated, and more than 100,000 troops were buried for it......

Five Hu Chaohua, Shi Le is not a hundred battles, its martial strategy is only the middle and upper capital, the reason why it can succeed is all set off by peers, the Wang family, the head of the world's sergeant clan, also has a great contribution, Wang Mi, Wang Jun, Wang Yan tried every means to feed it one bite at a time......

No amount of equipment can support a bloodless body.

Li Yue personally felt that the defeat of the Jin Dynasty was lost spiritually, and the so-called Wei and Jin romances were just a joke.

"General, there is not much salt on the mountain, you need to think of a way in advance." Zhou Lian said with a sad face.

Grain is equivalent to gold and silver, and salt in the Central Plains is more expensive than gold and silver, especially in this troubled world, salt represents strength, not only people have to eat, but war horses have to be fed every once in a while.

It's already very economical in the mountains.

A piece of corn porridge is sprinkled with a star of salt and dipped in saltiness.

Everything else can make a living, but salt can't.

Li Yue looked at the sand table, there is iron and coal, mountains and water around Xingyang, but there is no salt, "Go to the surrounding counties first and exchange some grain." ”

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, "As far as my subordinates know, the nearby counties are also short of salt. ”

After decades of chaos in the world, Shi Hu was rampant and expropriated, and the commercial system since the Han and Wei dynasties had long been destroyed.

There are no people, so naturally there will be no salt.

"Then I can only borrow some from the Zheng and Wang families." Li Yue rubbed his forehead.

It is not easy to be the owner of the village, and more than 10,000 people must think about it in advance for eating, drinking, and Lazar, otherwise it will be a disaster.

The last time there was a personal exchange, the Zheng and Wang families took their own money, and this face should be given.

It's all in the Xingyang realm, and you can't see you when you look up.

Zhou said: "This is not a long-term solution. ”

"Do you have a plan?" Li Yue is out of luck, Xingyang is not close to the sea, and the second is not to rely on the salt lake, so it is difficult to find salt.

"When the subordinates fled through Hedong County, there is a big salt pond at the boundary of Xie County, we can enter Luochuan to the east, enter the Bishan Mountain in the north, cross the big river, enter Wangwu Mountain, Leishou Mountain (Zhongtiao Mountain), take its salt, and on the return journey, there are mountains to go to the mountains, and there is water to go to the water."

This plan was quite bold, and Li Yue was a little hesitant for a while.

Zhou Lian arched his hand and said: "The salt transported back can solve the internal worries, and it can also be sold to Xuchang, Nanyang, Jingxiang and other places to feed the soldiers and people of Heiyun Mountain with salt!" ”

On the sand table, the straight-line distance between Heiyun Mountain and Hedong is actually not far.

At that time, Li Ju retreated from Pingyang to Xingyang.

In these years, there were no people for thousands of miles, and the management of Qian Zhao was very rough, and his rule was limited to the city, and he could not control what was happening outside the city at all.

Therefore, the feasibility of Zhou Qian's plan is very high, and he fled from Guanzhong with a thousand people, and he is familiar with the path.

It's good that Black Cloud Mountain is self-reliant, but it's too slow.

Li Yue only remembered that as soon as Shi Hu died, the sound of killing on both sides of the Yellow River shook the sky and the world boiled.

How much can you accumulate by farming honestly?

"Where does the salt come from in the other counties?" Li Yue wondered.

"It's also private salt!"

"In that case, let's get it too!" Li Yue was relieved.

Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth.

In the primitive accumulation stage, of course, everything must be used.

Dong Zhuo started his family, digging all the way from Liangzhou to Luoyang, and the place where he passed along the way was "the tomb of the first emperor", and the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dug by him.

When Wei Wu made his fortune, he set up a lieutenant who touched Jin and a general who was in the middle of the hill.

Sun Quan dug the tomb of Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, in Jiangdong Minghuo, and searched the tomb of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, several times, but did not find it, and dug up the tomb of Zhao Yingqi, the third king of Nanyue......

Compared to them, Li Yue's doing some business is nothing.

"My subordinates are willing to take a hundred old subordinates with me." Zhou Lian took the initiative to ask.

Li Yue knew that he was also poor and crazy.

He is responsible for the eating, drinking, and Lasa of more than 10,000 people in Heiyun Mountain, so his pressure is greater than anyone else's......

"A hundred people are not enough, I will send Cao Kan to lead three hundred heavy armor soldiers to accompany you, and bring the mules and donkeys on the mountain, if you can't dig salt quietly, then directly rob it!" Li Yue patted his thigh and said.

"Subordinates receive orders." Zhou Lian had a strange smile on his face.
