Three days later, the early morning of Chang'an was full of parting feelings, and under Luo Tianchu's order, the heroes of the Blood Knife Fort set off to Tongguan to stand by. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Luo Tianchu silently walked out of the military division's mansion, he had just met Gongsun Mingyue, although he knew that the military division could not participate in this war, but he still had to come to say a few words to the military division, only Gongsun Mingyue could comfort his nervous and excited mood. He couldn't forget the expectant but helpless eyes of Gongsun Mingyue when he said goodbye, he didn't know how much Gongsun Mingyue wanted to go together, but when he saw his emaciated body slumped on the recliner, he could only reluctantly say goodbye. Before going out, Hu Bai caught up and whispered to him that Gongsun Mingyue had a stroke and would not be able to stand up again for the rest of his life. Although Luo Tianchu was mentally prepared, he was still sad and shed tears, why was God so unkind that he harmed the elegant and immortal Gongsun Mingyue like this.

When she left the military master's mansion, she saw Ling Zhi'er standing under the tree that tied the horse, she was leading a little yellow horse, and immediately carried two bulging burdens. Luo Tianchu was surprised: "What are you doing here?" Ling Zhi'er said, "Of course I'm going with you." Luo Tianchu said: "I'm going to fight, and I can take women with me." Ling Zhi'er said: "I am also a doctor, and I can take care of the wounded." Luo Tianchu found out that she had changed into men's clothes, and said, "We have a military doctor, so we don't need you to go." Ling Zhi'er hurriedly said: "Then who will boil the medicine for you?" Luo Tianchu saw that the two big bags that her little yellow was carrying immediately were medicinal herbs, and understood that she cared about herself, and said: "I will bring the medicinal herbs and let Hu Bai boil the medicine for me, don't worry." Ling Zhi'er said: "Only I know your condition best, in case something happens, it is good to deal with it in time with me by my side." Luo Tianchu smiled: "I understand that you are worried about your safety, but you are my best confidante, if something happens, I will talk to someone in the future." Ling Zhi'er's cheeks were slightly red and said, "You... What nonsense. ”

Luo Tianchu also felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and said with a smile: "Okay, I should go, you just listen to me this time, stay in Chang'an and wait for me to come back." Ling Zhi'er kissed him on the cheek like a dragonfly, and her pretty face flushed and said, "I'll wait for you to come back." After saying that, he turned around and ran. Luo Tianchu smiled slightly, flew into the black lightning, and galloped towards the north city gate.

The north city gate is the meeting place they have agreed on, accompanied by Zhao Hengshan, Gu Yao, Yan Weifeng, Xiao Yan, Lu Ning, and Hu Boss, Cui Xing and Pei Zifu stayed in Chang'an, and all the families came to see them off. Gu Yao has the most family members, and the beautiful wives say goodbye one by one. Yan Weifeng and Yin Fang got married three months ago, the little couple is like glue, sweet and loving, at this time they are alone on the side of the street whispering, full of reluctance. Yin Fang hung the water dragon sword on his waist, took his hand, and said word by word: "Be careful, come back alive." Yan Weifeng said softly: "Don't worry, I still want you to give me a fat boy." Yin Fang chuckled and said, "As long as you come back, five will also give birth to you." Yan Weifeng laughed and said: "You are a lot plump now, do you really want to become a sow?" Yin Fang had long been accustomed to his jokes, and said with a smile: "You are looking for death." Saying that, he twisted his ears hard, and Yan Weifeng screamed in pain: "Spare your life, Mrs. don't dare, don't dare." It made everyone laugh next to him.

Feng Huilan, Zhao Hengshan's wife, put the burden full of oil cakes on the horse and said, "There are braised beef and wine in it, don't forget to eat it." Zhao Hengshan said impatiently: "What a long-winded mother-in-law, go back." Feng Huilan worried: "In charge, you must not have anything." Zhao Hengshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, go back." ”

Luo Tianchu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is kind, Hall Master Zhao has to appreciate it." Zhao Hengshan said: "Mother-in-law is troublesome, and I haven't seen the castle master yet." Feng Huilan was about to give a salute, but Luo Tianchu stepped forward and said, "Little brother doesn't dare to take it, sister-in-law has worked hard." Feng Huilan smiled heartily: "The freshly baked scallion pancakes this morning are still hot, so the castle owner will bring some to eat on the road." Luo Tianchu said happily: "Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." ”

Everyone got on their horses and waved goodbye to their relatives, went out of the city gate, and came to Tongguan in the afternoon. Lu Fei, Du Kill, Cai Lianhua greeted at the door, the gathering of heroes is indispensable for a lively time, Lu Fei led them to review the army of Tongguan, the defenders of Tongguan are the most elite troops in Tongguan, most of them are the children of the Blood Knife Castle, Luo Tianchu saw familiar faces, some of them were still old people when he was in the Demon King Village, he felt very cordial, smiled and nodded, and the soldiers also paid attention to his young commander, and their eyes were full of respect. These soldiers are well-trained, mighty, and well-equipped, and they are no longer righteous armies with mixed qualities, but heroic divisions with the qualifications to dominate the world.

Luo Tianchu was very happy, and after the review, he made an impassioned speech, and the soldiers applauded in unison, and their morale was high. That night, everyone stayed in Tongguan, and the next day Lu Fei led them to the cattle valley where the cavalry was trained, and everyone stood on the high slope to watch the cavalry drill.

Surrounded by three mountains outside the cattle valley, there is a large vast grassland in the middle, the water and grass are abundant, 30,000 cavalry are divided into 30 units to carry out various exercises, there are horseback fighting, horsemanship, riding and shooting, horse formation, horse galloping, etc. Luo Tianchu looked at it and said with relief: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, although the training time of this cavalry is short, it is already well-trained, and it is not a problem to go into battle to kill the enemy, this is all the credit of the master." Lu Fei said: "The cavalry instructors and training programs are all set by the castle master, and the subordinates are only responsible for implementation." Yan Weifeng said: "How do you train the cavalry, can you tell us something?" Lu Fei said: "The thirty cavalry instructors are all Mongols and Former Liao people who grew up on horseback, and they are extremely experienced on horseback, and they all hate the Jin State, so they are very relieved to use. The training program is also very interesting, let the castle master explain. ”

Luo Tianchu nodded and said: "The role of cavalry is not only to fight immediately, but also to become infantry when encountering high mountains and dense forests, and must also be proficient in the combat skills of infantry. The first three months of training were no different from those of the infantry, no one was allowed to get on the horse, but they were allowed to live with the horse every night and cultivate the bond between man and horse. If you want to use horses, you must first train horses, and only after Ma Tong people become friends can they be integrated on the battlefield and advance and retreat together, which must be patient and meticulous training for the horses, especially the unruly and untamable horses must often caress and wash them to relieve their itching, and they must also add grass and water to maintain a close relationship and lift their vigilance. The second is the basic training, driving the war horse is inseparable from the horse bit, the horse chews and the bridle three, these three things form a whole to convey instructions to the war horse, this is the basic equestrian skills, the soldiers must be proficient, such as to make a lying down action, pull one side of the reins, the force is transmitted to the horse chew and the horse bit, the horse's mouth and gums have a sense of oppression, force the war horse to lie down, immediately after lying down to loosen the reins, give food as a reward, so repeated training, over time the war horse will be accustomed to receiving instructions, only with words can give orders. ”

Gu Yao said: "It turns out that there is so much knowledge in training cavalry. Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Brother Gu is well-read, and he should have read the "Wu Zi-Governing the Army": Cut out the hair and mane, and fall around, and kill his ears and eyes, and there is no shock." Xi is relaxed, idle is stopped, people and horses go on a blind date, and then they can be made. Gu Yao said: "I'm ashamed, I still read some poems and songs the most." Yan Weifeng said: "People and horses go on a blind date, and then how to train after that?"

Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "Then it's time to practice horseback riding, all battles must be carried out on horses, good horses can be ridden well, battles can be fought well, good knights do not step on stirrups on horses, do not step on stirrups when dismounting, jump and change horses during the march and jump over, cross the moat, climb the hills, take risks, absolutely Daze, gallop strong enemies, and still be able to sit firmly on the horse when the chaos is a good knight." After becoming a good knight, you can become a good warrior, it is ten times more difficult to fight immediately than on land, people fight on horseback, can move the air, not only requires strength but also requires skill, strength is innate, skill is practiced, control the spacing of horses to avoid attacks, use horseback to cover the body, attack to be fast and accurate, but also skilled left and right bow, all these actions can be easily completed on land, to the horseback to re-practice, Emperor Shenzong General Liu Yuan once admonished' If the horse army can't be taught, please surrender the infantry', which means that the cavalry can still be an infantry if it can't be done, but the infantry is difficult to be a cavalry. ”

Gu Yao said happily: "No wonder the castle lord was able to train this elite cavalry within a year, he originally had such a deep understanding of cavalry. Lu Fei said with a smile: "The elite troops are one in a hundred, according to the meaning of the castle master, I have selected two thousand elite soldiers with rich combat experience in the army for special training, and the war horses are also selected good horses, which can be used as our sharp knife troops." Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "I have come to inspect that army four times, and it can be called the elite soldier of the elite soldiers, like the wolf teeth in the mouth of the evil wolf, the most ferocious, I mean to name it the 'Wolf Tooth Army.'" Yan Weifeng said with a smile: "Yue Fei has a back army, and we have a wolf tooth army, which is comparable, I don't know when these 30,000 cavalry will be transferred to Tongguan?" Luo Tianchu said: "Convey the soldiers of each battalion, pack up tonight, and go to Tongguan early tomorrow morning to gather." Zhao Hengshan said: "Do you have a candidate for the general to lead the cavalry?" Luo Tianchu said with a smile: "You don't want to recommend yourself." Zhao Hengshan said with a smile: "The Sprinkle family has this intention, and you must let the Sprinkle family be the pioneer at that time." Lu Fei smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not your turn to be a pioneer." Zhao Hengshan said angrily: "What do you mean, do you look down on the Sprinkle family?" Lu Fei smiled: "And dare and dare, I am just more suitable than you." Zhao Hengshan just wanted to attack, Luo Tianchu took the first step and said: "I know the pioneer candidate, and the two of them are going to argue." (To be continued.) )
