Chapter 15: Ice Gorge Blitz (1)

"Do you really want to do it?"

"Of course."

"But I don't have any experience yet."

"Everything has to have a first time, rest assured, I will be very gentle."

Feng Dolph, who had already arranged the chores, returned to the stable, and stretched out his hand to comfort the black beautiful horse.

Brünnhilde said with a smile: "The Blonde King is reluctant to ride into battle. ”

"He bought it for a lot of money, and of course he couldn't bear it."

Feng Daofu said confidently: "I didn't spend any money, and other people's mare don't feel distressed when they ride." ”

As soon as this violent argument came out, Brunhilde felt that it made sense, but he also felt that something was wrong.

The silver-haired girl who only focuses on what she is good at is in a trance.

But Ava was ready to move.

She was forced to leave her hometown because of the Blonde King, and she started riding Oslo's horses to collect interest!

"Stay safe."

Feng Daofu spoke, and took out the finger magic skill of the Homo erectus watchman: "In the future, I will call you Black Pearl." ”

The docile black horse was about to roll its eyes when it was touched, and its erected little ears were completely relaxed, and its lower lip was also relaxed, indicating that it was in a state of complete defenselessness.

Feng Daofu withdrew his hand, and the black pearl took the initiative to ask to touch it.

Not to mention the little mare, humans can't refuse.

With a movement of his fingers, he shows the demeanor of the sage, who kills both humans and animals!

Speaking of which,Simple,Cute,Will be coquettish and begging to touch,Very good rua,This is much cuter than some groups.

"Can I ride it now?"

The favor was almost brushed, and Feng Dolph asked for the opinion of a horse breeding professional.

He has a lot of experience in riding, but after all, he is not very familiar with the black pearl, and when it is time to humbly ask for advice, Feng Daofu will never die to save face.

To learn to shoot, you must first learn safety rules, and to learn riding skills, you must also learn safety rules to ensure that you will not be injured.

Although horses are intelligent, they are also animals, with different brain structures than humans, and do not have the same thinking and reasoning abilities as humans.

And horses are much larger and stronger than humans, and they are also very easy to deal with.

As prey animals, they are born with the instinct to escape, and when they encounter any stimulus, they will instinctively react such as horse jumping, and the more experienced the rider will be with the unfamiliar horse.

"Our job is to use the horse's psychology to guide the horse to understand the horse's goals."

"Horses are social animals, and if handled properly, they can learn to follow and respect human leaders, learn to rely on humans, and determine appropriate responses to new stimuli, rather than just instinctively," the horse breeder said. ”

"So a young horse is easier to train than an older horse."

"Black Pearl has been training since the foal."

"It has already shown obedience to you and can ride it."

When this was observed, the horse breeders were also very surprised.

Although she is a docile mare, Black Pearl is the leader of the herd because of her physique.

Once a herd has established a ruling hierarchy, it usually marches in hierarchical order.

Because it is an animal relationship, this hierarchical order is very different from that of humans, and it is very confusing.

For example, horse A may be more dominant than horse B, and horse B may be more dominant than horse C, but horse C may also be more dominant than horse A, not stable A>B>C.

Therefore, the rank is variable throughout the life of a herd or individual.

Usually, though, the highest status in the wild herd is usually an older mare.

She leads all the horses and decides whether to eat, advance, stay, rest, etc.

The stables are different from the wilderness, but Black Pearl still relies on her ability to become the leader.

But ah. Black Pearl used to ignore her love, but now she was so quickly convinced, and she showed that expression.

The mood of the horse breeder was very complicated for a while.

Vondolph was in no mood to care about their thoughts, and was already excited to start riding.

He could feel that Black Pearl didn't have much experience and was a little jerky.

But the mare is really smart, and it doesn't take long for him to know what position to use to match.

According to the horse breeder, it should be the experience passed on by previous mares.

Vondolph controlled the rhythm, maintained a slow pace, and had a chic feeling, and later rode in tandem with Brunhilde and others.

Swing around and enjoy the leisurely time after the victory.

After riding, Feng Daofu took the Black Pearl back to the stable, fed the concentrate himself, and asked the horse breeder to check it.

The breeder was shocked again: "The condition is very good, even better than before!" ”

Could it be that being ridden by this adult can still be refreshed?

Horse breeders can't understand this kind of thing.

Vondolph was satisfied but also a little regretful.

With a percentage bonus like a specialty, the more powerful the horse, the more obvious the effect.

With Black Pearl, Big Tooth is about to retire.

After the weather warmed, I also began to be in the mood to have children, and now I have a house, a wife and children, and I don't have to work every day, which is the best retirement life for it.

However, even if he has a riding specialty, the 20% vitality bonus of Saddle Prison Horse Strong, Black Pearl can't go to the battlefield right away, and he has to strengthen his training to improve his squeamish habits.

Strictly speaking, it's not squeamish.

Although, according to a future 2008 study, Andalusian horses suffer from intestinal ischemia at a significantly higher rate than other breeds, stallions are 30 times more likely to suffer from inguinal hernias.

It has also been shown to have a lower incidence of large bowel obstruction and a high risk of lamellaritis, a medical complication associated with intestinal problems.

To put it simply, it is more selective feed and needs to be eaten well, but the current Andalusian horse has not yet been specialized.

With an average shoulder height of 156 centimeters, an average weight of 512 kilograms, and a dense coat, it can be selected as a heavy cavalry horse, proving that it can adapt to military life if taken care of.

It's just that the environment in Northern Europe is still relatively harsh, so these defects will be magnified, so they can only stay at home and breed.

The specialty greatly increases health, which is equivalent to improving the physical defects of the Andalusian horse, and can be slowly adjusted on the road with the black pearl.

Saddle Horses also give 10% health bonus to other cavalry mounts, so the other Andalusian horses left by the Blonde, as well as those hybrids, are all on the road.

Of course, the good things you have snatched must be used immediately, and you can't cheapen others if you waste them!

Fortunately, the most time-consuming basic training, the warm-hearted blonde king has asked his subordinates to help him complete it.

also took into account the problem of losing weight on the march, and gave him every horse to be fat and strong.

For the Blonde King's sincerity, Vondolph must return it with the same enthusiasm!

Let's have a celebration banquet in the royal court first!

Sailing along the way was already exhausting, so I hid in the Moulin Rouge and rested for a while, and then plunged into the battle again.

Although it is solved quickly, it is necessary to relax when it is time to relax.

This is also to familiarize the people of Oslo with the life of the Io-Christians in advance.

That night, the square outside the royal court was filled with people.

Whether it is the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, or the newborn women, or even the citizens of Oslo, they can all participate and enjoy the excitement of the banquet.

But before the banquet, you have to warm up the party.

The first is a waiter dressed as a man.

At the time of his discovery at the Moulin Rouge, he dressed up as a woman and served both men and women, and the main customers were the monks, who were all satisfied with his skills.

Vondolph summoned some of the bewildered lambs, whetted up their anger at the monks, and asked them to approve it himself, and then began to judge the nobles of Oslo.

The aristocracy lived mainly in the countryside, and the living conditions of the mansions were better than those of the city people.

They were accompanied by shackled, weak serfs.

Most of the warrior nobles of the Norse tribe still need to work with slaves because they don't have enough resources, and the relationship is relatively harmonious.

And in Oslo, where resources are more abundant, after generations of affluence, the aristocracy has become alienated.

"There are no landless lords, and there is no land without lords."

"The same innocent child, one with a face full of disdain, the other with a face full of pain, just because you are slaves!"

"How many people, because they can't bear the oppression, have fled to the city and work in a daze?"

Vondolph didn't go into a tirade.

The pent-up anger didn't need anything more for him.

Light the sparks and shove the knife into them.

All that remains is that the banner is stained red with the blood of the Oslo aristocracy.

Someone screams before he dies: "You can't rule Oslo without us!" ”

Vondolph sighed: "I never intended to rule Oslo. ”

"Oslo does not belong to me, nor to you, this is the city of the people of Oslo, the city of the sons of Io!"

The war was still going on, and there was no intention of ruling Oslo now.

It is enough to maintain a semblance of order and not harm innocent people.

Feng Daofu said good things without money, and the hearts of the citizens who were nervous and watching suddenly became hot, and more people picked up knives to complete revenge.

By the time the sacrificial flag was over, Vondolph already had thousands of accomplices, or believers, in Oslo.

When he took out the property of the nobles and rewarded the southern expeditionary army.

The newly converted believers all watched this scene with their eyes warm, and their hearts were alive.

When the reward is over, the real feast is complete.

Piles of bonfires are lit, and in addition to the traditional pan-fried salmon and sea fish cream soup, there are also various mushroom dishes developed according to local conditions.

The feature is just one word: fresh!

Sumptuous and delicious, Feng Daofu also let go of the wine stored in the city and took it out, and everyone shouted in ecstasy, and the square was full of shouts of long live.

On the stage temporarily set up by the central government, there are also programs performed by the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, which are not arranged in advance, and anyone who is willing can take the initiative to go up and perform.

Some people sang on stage, and some danced in groups.

I can't say that I sing and dance well, but it's very sincere, full of simplicity, and it's moving.

The believers gradually let go of their inner guards and began to integrate into it.

Some of the people who had been stained with the blood of the nobles calmed down and began to seek a way out, quietly asking if they could join in.

At this time, the company missionary will say yes, you can enter the auxiliary corps.

"The pay is lower, but you don't have to fight, you can just move the goods."

Many people joined in as soon as their brains were hot, and the size of the auxiliary forces of the Southern Expeditionary Army expanded rapidly on this night.

Looking at this scene, Brunhild said: "So we are not on the sea route, but on the road? ”

Vondolph took a sip of hot ale: "That's right. ”

Brünnhilde pulled out the parchment map and circled the U-shaped shore below: "This route is too long, isn't it?" ”

Feng Dolph: "It's about seven or eight hundred kilometers, and it will take more than half a month at the earliest." ”

Ingrid, who had read a lot of textbooks on the way over, said: "The Blonde King used to attack Bergen, and he used to take the sea route, which only took a week or so. ”

"Because the Bergen navy is holding the nearest Björnerfjord, they will move from the North Sea into the Hardangerfjord, find a base and then start sweeping the farmsteads near Bergen."

"If you want to cut off the grain route, I think you can take a boat to Hardangerfjord and then look for their rear barracks."

The nun, who loves to read, gave a very insightful opinion: "If you are afraid of the navy of the Grand Duke of Jutland. Don't you have a way now? ”

They looked at some of the furry girls.

Hilud was eating the fourth strip of air-dried pork and had never eaten pork without taste.

I was eating happily when I saw a pair of eyes looking at me.

She subconsciously kept a serious face, full of the majesty of a Danish princess.

Ingrid: "."

Everyone is a Danish princess, and they weren't okay before, why did they expose their true nature not long after they came to Vondolph's side?

- The daughter of the Archduke of Denmark, Ingrid knew Shelude, so she would come forward to intercede for her before, but she didn't expect Shelud to be silent.

Although Hilud explained to her afterwards that it was to get closer to her and pave the way for her father's future diplomacy.

But the nun looked left and right, and always felt that this rabbit-haired princess was simply too lazy to run.

is obviously such a character, but he has a pair of long legs.

Obviously, she has been running around and working hard all this time, but her figure has not lost a lap, but she has returned

Ingrid stopped her thoughts and said skillfully: Lord, please forgive me.

"Even if you want to talk to Jutland, you can't just ask."

Vondolph said: "So now the Jutland navy is still the enemy, and they will be handed over to Douglas." ”

"With the speed of the Valkyrie, it is enough to lead the fleet to contain the navy of Jutland."

"If the Jutland Navy is contained, why don't you call up ships by sea in Oslo?"

Brunhilde wondered even more.

Feng Dolph said: "Although the news was blocked at the first time, Oslo is so big, and the number of the Southern Expeditionary Army is so large, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will sneak out to deliver the news." ”

"Assuming at worst, the Blonde King will know that Oslo has been attacked in a few days, and he will definitely do something, and we will lack the effect of a surprise attack if we follow the route of the Blonde King."

"And we can't give full play to our heavy infantry advantage on the sea, and it's difficult to maximize the results."

The Valkyrie is going to pin down the Jutland Navy, and the remaining ships have no crushing class advantage even if they have a speed bonus.

When the enemy escapes, the goddess scatters flowers, which should be a time to quickly create damage, but because of the relationship between the sea and weapons, most of them will run away in the end.

"It's different by land, you can't guess where I'm going to plug in from or when, this kind of unknown can slow down the defensive pressure of Bergen on the frontal battlefield, and it can also hit their morale hard when it really appears!"

"In order to shorten the march, and to conceal the movement, I am not going to take the land route along the coast."

Vondolf pointed over the fjords, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, plateaus, glaciers on the map: "This route can shorten the journey to 500 kilometers, and it can be completed in a week or two!" ”

"Lady Ingrid, you just said that you can only cut off the food route if you find the logistics barracks, and my best agent told me that this location is here!"

His finger lingered on a small town called Nurheimsun.

"Through the Sharon Mountains, through Hardanger, and through Nurhemsun!"

"Operation Codename: Ice Gorge Blitzkrieg!"

The foals are trained from the moment they are weaned.

From the time the foal is born until the first few days or weeks after birth, a group of monsters will constantly touch it, lift its feet, and introduce it to human touches and sounds.

Until the sensitive pony, familiar with all of humanity.

In addition to reinforcing the impression from an early age, it is also because humans can easily suppress ponies and let the foals know that humans are strong and that although they will not harm them, they must also respect humans.

This method trains most animals, and the most effective of the beasts is lions.

When you grow up to a year old and your bones begin to solidify, you can start the basic training of your warhorse.

The first step, in a circle of 15-20 meters, where the trainer holds only a long whip, trains the horse to respond to voice and body language, move faster or slower, change direction, stop.

The second step, followed by desensitization training, is to expose the horse to a slap body like a blanket, to teach the horse to allow itself to be touched by objects and not to be afraid of what people are moving on the horse.

The third step is to introduce and adapt the saddle and bridle or harness.

The fourth step, the long rope drive, teaches a pony to move forward with a person walking behind it and not to kick its hooves.

The fifth step, biting the horse, refers to the process of getting the horse accustomed to the reins and bridles, and sometimes adding side reins (a wide leather or nylon strap wrapped around the horse's cylinder) to the saddle, harness, or leash to get the horse used to the pressure on the bridles.

It is not until a horse is used to all the gear it needs to wear and reacts to basic sounds, usually commands to rein, start, stop, turn and change gait, that it is ready to be ridden.
