Chapter 265: From the Army
The water and grass are abundant and beautiful, and the horses are galloping, which is what Bai Lang saw when he drove the mule cart to the Pegasus Ranch. Shepherds on horseback drove the horses, looking out of the crowd – but it wasn't far from Xiangyang. Not only are there tens of thousands of horses in the horse farm, but even the four major cowards who are hostile to the ranch together have tens of thousands of horse thieves.
At this time, Bai Lang was about to vomit again, "Does this guy who 'created' this world have any concept of cavalry? He should have never seen what a cavalry of tens of thousands of people is like, right? This is a queue that can spread out for more than ten miles, and the various daily supplies of horses and cavalry alone are a big number -- what kind of horse thieves can gather tens of thousands? With this number, he will directly sell himself to those big forces as the founding heroes!"
It is very normal for the author to have no concept of numbers, no concept of engineering, and no concept of military affairs, otherwise how could he see a city wall ten zhang high? This author has no concept of geography, and as for the 400 millimeter precipitation line, it is definitely a tall thing that he has never heard of. Bai Lang muttered this as he drove the mule cart to the inn where Pegasus Ranch was used to receive guests.
For the Northern and Southern Dynasties, there were unified dynasties for many years, and later there was a unified dynasty of the Sui Dynasty, and there were still commercial forces with tens of thousands of war horses in it, Bai Lang could only forcibly think that this was normal at the moment - he couldn't fight with the "author". It is precisely because the Pegasus Ranch is almost the only place where the military horses of those forces who are doing things in the Central Plains and even the southern region come from, so there is an endless stream of people who come to buy military horses, and the inn used to receive these horse dealers can almost be called a small town.
Bai Lang is a very, very inconspicuous one of them - there are no single gang of horse dealers, and those big forces are even more dispatched by hundreds of people to buy horses. It's really rare for him to come with such a person—no, he brought a maid with him. What Bai Lang also needs is retail rather than wholesale - that is, to buy a BMW, how confident you must be in your own force to bring a maid to buy alone, aren't you afraid that you will lose your head on the way?
Bai Lang is not afraid, buying a BMW will not be too outrageous in the current situation - if it is changed to the Song Dynasty, the real BMW is afraid that it will bleed. However, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there should still be more horses in the world, and there should be more choices - the degradation of the horse bloodline from the Western Regions should not have begun.
"But you still have to buy weapons and armor first. "Bai Lang has money in his pocket, and he also has money in the car, so it is estimated that it is no problem to buy a whole set of outfits. At this time, the war between the North and the South has just passed, and the unification of the world by the Great Sui is only more than 20 years of effort, and the world is in chaos at this time, so although the Great Sui has a clear law, it has become useless.
This Pegasus Ranch sells weapons and armor, but Bai Lang knows that the gang that sells the most weapons in the world is the gang of the daughter of the Queen of Yin, of course, the name seems to be the Ryukyu piece - basically similar to a joke. Even so, the weapons shops here sell a wide range of weapons, from horses and lances to armoured shields and crossbows.
There is even a high-priced Mingguang armor in the armor, but this one is not easy to put outside, "There is chain mail? But this price is really expensive!" This chain mail seems to have been brought by merchants from the Western Regions to sell, and the price is the same as that of the two-grade armor. Bai Lang chose leather armor, anyway, he practiced the golden bell jar all over his body, and the armor was just an extra layer of insurance, and he also had to take into account whether the horse could afford it.
Pegasus Ranch actually didn't have equipment for sale - too, if there were equipment, it is estimated that there would be no court person who could tolerate such a merchant in the morning. On the weapon, Bai Lang could only ask the blacksmith to customize it for him - the pattern that Bai Lang gave to the blacksmith was a pair of iron halberds.
Nowadays, the use of this weapon is very rare, and the installation of this weapon has been canceled in the serious army. Bai Lang asked the blacksmith to fight not a divination halberd assembled separately, but a weapon that was formed in one piece and enlarged the head of the spear, the two ends of the blade were like short swords, and the horizontal blade was also open on both sides of the blade to peck, push and hook. Underneath the Ge is a steel sleeve to prevent the opponent from cutting the pole.
Such a divination halberd is about 20 catties, plus the gun and the hammer, I am afraid that it will reach 30 catties, which can be regarded as a heavy weapon for immediate use. And Bai Lang also asked the blacksmith to make two iron shovels, three feet six inches long with four edges with cones, as thick as eggs. After the deposit was given, the blacksmith began to forge it.
The selection of horses is to follow the steward, wholesale and retail places are completely different, those excellent BMWs will be placed in a separate place, let the really rich guys choose slowly. Bai Lang also took Wei Zhenzhen behind the steward who received him to watch the horse with his hands behind his back—he had exposed the gold and silver in advance, otherwise he would not be qualified to see it at all.
"There really are good war horses. Bai Lang flicked his tongue and made a beautiful tongue flicking sound to express his admiration. He has read some information about famous modern horse racing horses, and he also knows a thing or two about traditional war horses. The horses here are not as handsome as those carefully bred in Europe after the 18th century, but they are still very good in the present age. The common Tang Sancai horse in later generations is artistically exaggerated, but the horses at the moment are already very good - a little more majestic than the war horse that Bai Lang rode in Daming, at least a few inches taller.
The horse's coat color is mostly cyan and black brown, and some have spotted lines, Bai Lang has no special preference for this, "It's not necessary to travel thousands of miles a day, it's true that you need to have a big physique and good endurance." Bai Lang is still ready to prepare leather horse armor for his horse that can at least cover the neck and front half of the horse's body, so as not to be injured by stray arrows.
Casually estimated, just to buy these things, the money for a set of houses will be spent - so it is really good to say that the good family who can prepare his own horses and weapons in the past is Yulin Lang and Hu Benlang. By extension, the army of the ancient dynasty, which could guarantee the source of the yeoman farmers who brought their own weapons to serve in the army and the children of small landlords, was a first-class strong army. After the collapse of the agrarian policy, the combat effectiveness of the army was also destroyed.
Bai Lang bought a large cyan horse with a rain-like pattern, and after he said a few words to the steward and gave him a small ingot of silver, the steward also secretly called a small servant, "Take this uncle to see ....." This is to let people take him to match the horse armor. The period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, especially the Northern Dynasties, has lasted for more than 100 years. Under the government military system, they prepare their own saddle horse weapons, and they are trained in peacetime when they are slack, and in wartime, the military government orders each government to order the people to be soldiers. At the moment, this is just the promiscuity of the Northern Dynasties, and this kind of thing is rare in the Southern Dynasties.
Bai Lang can be regarded as buying horses, saddles, armor and weapons, but this guy is babbling about the verses in Mulan's words. And Wei Zhenzhen followed behind and looked at Bai Lang vigorously, her big eyes full of curiosity.
