Chapter 5 The Horse Has a Hoof

While the young man was stunned, a group of tall horses came to the city, and the people on the horses were all wearing armor and swords.

The armor is a light armor with thin buttons like fish scales, and it is called fine scale armor.

The knife is a knife of the New Tang Dynasty Army after the transformation of the horizontal knife, and Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty personally gave the name Tang Dao.

The horses under the crotch of the soldiers are also equipped with fine scale armor, which wraps the horse's head, ventral and other vital points.

This is a team of light horses, and it is one of the most famous light horses of New Tang, the Thin Scale Ride.

The military prosperity of the New Tang Dynasty far surpassed that of the Later Chen and Southern Han dynasties, and the world-famous Tang Dynasty sword and the New Tang Dynasty Thirteen Armor.

The thirteen armors of the New Tang Dynasty are the names of the armor, and there are thirteen kinds of armor, such as bright light, light to be important, fine scales, mountain inscriptions, black hammers, white cloths, soap silks, and cloth backs.

On the basis of these thirteen armors, the New Tang Dynasty established the Thirteen Cavalry, that is, the New Tang Dynasty Thirteen Cavalry that shocked Kyushu.

It is rumored that the production method of the thirteen armors of the New Tang Dynasty comes from Bai Yujing, a treasure land of the immortal family that fell from the sky three years ago, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary armor.

Two years ago, when the New Tang Dynasty attacked Yuwenfu, the largest prince in the Central Plains, it only dispatched a total of 10,000 cavalry of Guangming, Guangyao, Fine Scales, Shanwen, and Wuhammer, and broke Yuwenfu's 70,000 army, thus determining the situation in one go, and laying the foundation for the great victory of the New Tang Dynasty.

As the head of the thirteen light horses of the New Tang Dynasty, the fine scale cavalry is famous and scarce, and it actually appeared in this small town, which inevitably made Zhong Ming look twice.

The leader shouted "Idlers retreat!" in his mouth, and roared past the young man's side, riding in the dust, magnificent.

Because the young man was obsessed with admiring the riding armor, he was late in dodging, and the cavalry almost hit him, and the leading general immediately reined in his horse and hovered, so that he did not hit the young man.

The bowl-hoofed horse neighed and turned his head to look at the young man in Mai, and so did the general.

When this person wore a phoenix winged hood on his head, his eyes were sharp, and when he looked at Zhong Ming, the young man only felt a chill on his back, as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast, and in an instant, a strange picture appeared in the young man's mind: riding on it was a slaughter of countless people, the momentum behind him was churning in the sea of blood, and riding down was a fierce beast that chose people to devour, and the hiss was more infiltrating than the tiger's roar.

I thought that the general was going to make it difficult for him, but the young man was terrified when he came back to his senses, and his mind turned to think about countermeasures, but he didn't think that the general just shouted: "Why don't you wear a cover when a young man walks, and how can you get it if he breaks it?"

Faced with the leader's fierce questioning, the young man in Mai was speechless for a while, unable to answer.

At this time, another general behind the leader spoke, the fine scale armor he was wearing was obviously different from others, his shoulders were decorated with a fierce beast swallow, and he was wearing a fierce hood, which was an armor that could only be worn by generals above the second rank of the New Tang Dynasty, and ordinary people could not wear it at all.

At first, he should only be the leader of the light cavalry, and this is the commander of the light cavalry, he said: "Huzi, don't frighten the young man, this time is different from the past, not fighting on the battlefield." Now we are all land under our feet, and all the people of the New Tang Dynasty are above the land, and we must not hurt people with recklessness. ”

The general, who was like a beast when he rang the bell just now, immediately softened his anger, grinned and argued softly: "General, I didn't want to hurt him, I just reprimanded him for walking on the street without looking at the road......

The general in the fierce armor suddenly became angry and reprimanded: "Bastard! I've taught you a few times, the captain of this school is no longer a general, why are you still shouting, you broke your head in battle, can't you remember!"

The trained leader changed his face, suddenly looked serious, and shouted: "Yes, captain, his subordinates know their mistakes and are willing to accept punishment!"

The anger of this captain is not unreasonable, the new Tang Dynasty was founded, the law is strict, if someone grabs the handle because of the title, it is inevitable to suffer a dark loss.

It can also be heard from the words just now that the captain is not a perverse person, and he doesn't really want to teach his subordinates a lesson, just reprimands and reminds him, he snorted lightly and said: "Go back and punish you again, the captain's business is important, keep going!"

After reprimanding his subordinates, the captain said in a deep voice: "Young man, go out to see the road, don't crash into pedestrians." ”

This sentence was said to Zhong Ming, although the captain did not look back, the young man in Mai couldn't see his face clearly, but he also heard a little displeasure from his tone, thinking that it was a little short-sighted, and the anger of reprimanding his subordinates also extended to the young man.

Zhong Ming didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed his hand and responded: "Thank you for the reminder of the captain, and the little people will be taught." ”

The lieutenant caught a glimpse of the young man who did not fall to his knees in fright like ordinary people, but gave his hand to the priest, secretly saying that the young man was a bold scholar, and muttered in a low voice, "Interesting young man", and then the captain rode forward.

In the shout of "The leader of the fine scale dragon, go forward!", the cavalry team disappeared, and the sound of horses' hooves shook the sky like thunder, and disappeared from the young man's field of vision in a moment, leaving only a piece of dust flying.

After retracting his gaze, the young man was still a little afraid, and after thinking about it, his back was already wet, if the team of soldiers and cavalry just now really wanted to make things difficult for him, I am afraid that there would be nowhere to escape.

After a little thought, a few strange thoughts flashed in the young man's mind: the leading horse is amazing, like the martial arts people mentioned in Mr. Guo's book, he has never had that kind of terrifying experience in his own life, just because of the other party's momentum, he was scared to the feet, and a strange picture appeared in his mind.

It turned out to be Mr. Guo's shocking exaggeration, but I didn't expect this martial arts man to really exist, and when I saw it today, Zhong Ming was a little more in awe of this era.

Absolute force is always terrible, no matter where it is.

After thinking about it, I guessed that this soldier and cavalry commander was not the new captain of Zhiguo in the city?

There were no soldiers and cavalry in the border town, and the only possibility was the armor brought by the captain Zhiguo who had just arrived yesterday, and the cavalry just now also called the main general the captain, he was indeed the captain, and it was right to think about it.

The young man nodded slightly, convinced that his conjecture was correct.

After thinking clearly, the young man was not complacent, but shook his head and laughed at his blind speculation all day long, even if that person was the new captain of Zhiguo, what did it have to do with him?

It is impossible that this captain will be involved with him because of a chance meeting.

He is a high-ranking member of the seventh grade, and he is still just a homeless person struggling in the quagmire.

With this blind speculation, it is better to think more about how to make the silt village share more fertile land.

Thinking in his heart, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up the slightly shabby but spotless gray linen gown, and strode towards the city.

That's because Zhong Ming didn't see that the Slender Scale Dragon Leader Army who had just rubbed shoulders with him was heading towards the Mud Village, otherwise he would have had another idea.

Calculate the time, at this time, the head army of the fine scale dragon should have arrived at the entrance of the silt village.

......

Walking on the main street of the border town, the young man looked around, slightly curious about the things around him.

Zhong Ming rarely goes into the city, and the town still has a lot to do for him, although he doesn't have any money to enjoy, it's not bad to have a good time.

The border towns have no name, and the people outside half of the city walls call them Chengli, which is an unattainable land of wealth for them, and the people call it Chengzhong, and they say this because they want to distinguish it from the outcasts outside the city.

As citizens of the New Tang Dynasty, they could not call their place of residence by the same name as the homeless people, which would insult their noble status.

And people outside the border town call this a border town, and the court is probably also called a border town, after all, this is too ordinary, and it is by no means an eye-catching place.

The only strategic value of the border town is that it used to have a two-zhang high wall, but now that most of the city wall has collapsed, it is estimated that its status will have to be relegated.

A border town with a city wall on the verge of collapse, this is the most objective perception of this place by outsiders.

There are three main streets in the city, one runs through the east and west gates called the east and west main road, one runs through the north and south two city gates is called the north and south main road, and there is a road around the city, called the ring road, these three main streets divide the city into eight parts.

The border town is not grand, it is just a small town, compared to Luoyang, the capital of the new Tang Dynasty, less than one-tenth.

In terms of the size of the town alone, it was not enough to have a city wall, and it was only because it was a frontier place for a prince before the establishment of Qianchen that the city wall was built.

Although the sparrows are small and complete, the buildings in the city are still quite complete, the deep boudoir compounds of the rich and noble families of the official eunuchs, the residences of ordinary civilians, and the Goolan tiles are all there.

In fact, Zhong Ming is most looking forward to going to Goolan Courtyard and trying to buy and sell women in accordance with the constitution, and I heard that those girls in Hongfang Pavilion in the city are all smart, and their pleasing means were blown into the sky by Mr. Guo.

If it weren't for the young man thinking that he was still growing up, he would definitely take the ingot of gold, and then take Liang Heizi to open meat, and also try to spend a lot of money to buy a fragrant hangover.

The young man sniffed, and secretly scolded himself for being blind, his body did not allow it to be just a consolation for himself, but in fact, there was still no silver taels, and the ten ingots of gold were touched from the armor camp, and he did not dare to use it openly to kill him.

The bottom of the official silver is engraved with the word, ordinary people use the official silver, and if they are caught, they will be pulled to the east gate and beheaded to show the public.

Thinking about going back and looking for an opportunity to melt the gold ingots, although it is no longer as hard as the official silver, but it can finally be taken out, this time the silt village is divided into fertile land, and he can also find a way to launder the silver money in hand.

Thinking wildly in his heart, the young man's nose smelled a fragrance, and he looked up.

Qin Xiangzhai is a pastry shop, and his crispy cake is not bad.

Zhong Ming said that it was sweet when he first ate the crispy cake, but as he returned to the mud village again, drank those tasteless rice porridge and ate some slightly salty wild vegetables, Zhong Ming stopped saying that there was anything wrong with the crispy cake.

The sloppy throat shows that the store has enough sugar, which is better than tasteless rice porridge.

Thinking of the last time I bought less, when the young people returned to the village, Xiaocao, Erniu, and Gouzi's more than ten children could only share two pieces of pastry, each of them got a piece of scraps the size of a fingernail, and they reluctantly licked their fingers for a long time after eating, Zhong Ming decided to buy more this time, and no matter how bad it was, each person had to get a piece.

After making up his mind, the young man stepped into the pastry shop, and the shopkeeper also called him "Mr. Zhong", thinking that he would go to the mud village to ask for peach charms at the end of the year.

After a while, the young man came out of the shop, holding a lotus leaf bag in his hand, which contained more than twenty crispy cakes, and the broken silver in the young man's arms also turned into small copper coins.

Crispy cakes are not ordinarily expensive, this small bag of pastries in the hands of young people is enough for ordinary people in the city to eat for more than a month, and this is still a discount for Mr. Zhong's face.

Thinking of the happy smiles on the faces of the children and Sun Luolian, Zhong Ming gritted his teeth and bought it, and he recognized it.

Just now in the shop, the young man ate a piece of pastry on the pretext of tasting, and the sweetness in his mouth was remembered for a long time, which made him feel much better, and he hummed a little song and walked forward.

But before the young man had taken two steps out of the store, a person hurriedly ran behind him, shouting, "Brother Ming, Brother Ming!
