Chivalrous Song Dynasty

Can I buy it?Of course not.Because no one is selling.Regardless of whether it is the Liao Kingdom or Xixia, war horses will not be sold to Song Dynasty even if they are killed for meat, and they will not sell them for how much money they give!

Sell ​​it to you, let you hit me?

Looking at the entire capital now, the total number of war horses owned by the 80 imperial troops is no more than [-], including some old horses, stallions, and foals.

In this case, how can Gao Qiu equip Huang Chang with cavalry?Gao Qiu said it well: Fang La's army is nothing more than unruly people in the mountains, do they need cavalry to deal with them?

Therefore, it is very difficult for Bai Sheng to steal horses, because there are only a hundred horses in the [-] army at most, and they are all under the control of the Zhongjun where Huang Chang is.These war horses are reserved for those dutou and duyu marquis who escaped for their lives.It is roughly equivalent to the jeep of the later Kuomintang army.

"Song Junyi, come out!"

After Dutou called out a few more names, he suddenly called out such a name, and a soldier stood up from the walking queue, standing with the soldiers who had stepped out before.

Bai Sheng was stunned.

Of course he knew what was going on with him as Song Junjia, but he really couldn't understand why there was Song Junyi. Could it be that he was back in modern times and was filming an ancient costume war scene?But the invisible army team told him that this is definitely not filming.

For war scenes shot by modern people, the crew usually only finds dozens of group performers to act out tens of thousands of troops, and any more is a waste of production costs.

The characteristic of the army of the Song Dynasty was that the soldiers did not know the generals, and the generals did not know the soldiers.The soldiers don't know Dutou, and Dutou doesn't know the soldiers.Like this kind of army that was assembled and moved out suddenly, the link between the generals and the soldiers was a roster, but what Bai Sheng knew was that the man in front of him was illiterate.

However, he did remember that during the previous two and a half days of marching and one night of rest in the camp, the captain once asked the names of himself and several other soldiers, but he really didn't notice at the time that there was actually a Song Junyi in the ranks. .

"Brother." Song Junyi looked at the bewildered Bai Sheng and greeted him in a rough voice.

"Uh..." Bai Sheng nodded blankly, not knowing how to respond, this Song Junyi actually knows me?

Looking at this buddy Song Junyi who has never met before, this buddy has a thick beard under his lips, which is much longer than the beard he shaved and grew back. Immediate visual sense, how could this person call me brother?

At this time, Nadu ordered a few more soldiers to come out, they were all young and strong, and they consciously stood together with Bai Sheng and the others, then they all looked at the dozen or so people in front of them and asked: "Which of you can ride a horse? "

"I will!" Bai Sheng replied immediately as if he was electrocuted.

"I will too!" Song Junyi followed closely behind.

Others were left speechless.The cavalry of the imperial army of Song Dynasty may not be able to ride horses, because they can't do equestrian training at ordinary times, and they don't even want to ride wooden horses, let alone real war horses.

Dutou sighed, as if he had failed to complete some glorious mission, and said, "I know it's hard to find someone who can ride a horse. Fortunately, I have two brothers from your Song family, so I don't want to embarrass me too much. You are After the gate?"

Bai Sheng didn't know how to answer, but Song Junyi said: "Hui Dutou, my brother and I rode donkeys when we were young."

As soon as these words were uttered, the soldiers marching around burst into laughter. Even Dutou himself was a little bit dumbfounded, and said, "Is this called being able to ride a horse? Forget it, you two will follow me to the Chinese army, and the others will return to the army."

So the inexplicable pair of Song brothers ran forward with Dutou. After running for about half an hour, they caught up with the Chinese army. In the distance, they saw a big flag flying high. typeface.

Under the banner is a luxury chariot with four horses. At this moment, the chariot is moving very slowly, at the same speed as the infantry.There are thousands of guards around the carriage, making it impossible to approach.There are nearly a hundred war horses behind the guard team, but there are almost no riders, and most of them are led by soldiers.There was only one officer-like figure on the horse.

Hearing the sound of running, the officer turned his head, saw the three Bai Shengs running over, and said to Nadu: "How about the two you found?"

The head stood still in front of the officer's horse, panting and said: "Master Hui Wang, they said they had ridden a donkey before, so I let them try it, but judging from the way they have run, these two boys are really good, with physical strength. They are so outstanding that I can't outrun them."

Bai Sheng was secretly surprised when he heard the words, and looked carefully at the officer on the horse. He saw that this man was about 40 years old, had a pair of triangular eyes, and his appearance was a bit wretched. ?But wasn't Wang Jin persecuted by Gao Qiu and went to Yan'an Mansion to join the teacher's way?

However, the teacher Wang looked at himself and Song Junyi disdainfully, curled his lips and said, "Physical strength is good for nothing? It's not about riding a donkey to marry a wife, come! Give them two horses, two bows, and let them slip away." Take a look around."

Immediately, two soldiers leading the horses handed over the reins to Bai Sheng and two others, and another handed them over with two hard bows.

Bai Sheng didn't know what it meant to give Zhang Kong a bow, but he felt that it was better to have no arrows than to have arrows, because he "only knows how to bend a bow and shoot a big eagle". Let him perform archery on horseback, as long as one arrow is shot, it will be shameful.

But I heard the teacher Wang say: "The six skills of cavalry, one is shooting straight with the mane, the other is shooting from the back, the third is shooting with horses, the fourth is shooting at relatives, the fifth is field combat, and the sixth is wheeling. Show me the two of you to practice with empty bows. .”

Bai Sheng groaned secretly when he heard the words, this is for me to perform riding and shooting skills, the first two can still vaguely understand one or two, what the hell are the third to sixth items?Especially this kind of rotation, it would not be difficult to find a lady to let me and Song Junyi take turns, but this army is full of pure men, how can this be done?

Chapter 96 Cavalry Captain

Although he didn't know what the six cavalry skills were, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the horse, only to hear Song Junyi whispering beside him: "Brother, come with me."

The two war horses crossed the official road and galloped into the field in the same direction. They could barely run twenty feet away. Song Junyi shouted: "Brother, look at me, follow me!" Make an aiming gesture directly in front, "This is a straight shot!"

Seeing that Bai Sheng had done the same, he turned around and looked back at the army to draw the bowstring, "This is a back shot!"

Bai Sheng did the same, and saw Song Junyi's body turned halfway, and stretched the bowstring to the left side of the horse's body, "This is a cross-horse shot!" Meditation, I didn't expect it to be so simple, so I did it again.

Just listen to Song Junyi's explanation: "Panma shooting is very effective when attacking infantry. Using the speed of cavalry, the entire cavalry group drives around the infantry formation, and repeatedly shoots at close range, which is very lethal."

Bai Sheng imagined what Song Junyi said in his mind, and couldn't help admiring this younger brother who was born out of thin air.This brother sounds like an expert, but how could there be such an expert cavalry expert in the Song Army?And looking at his riding skills, it seems that he is not inferior to Wanyan Wulu, this is really strange.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Song Junyi raised his bow to look at the sky, and opened the bow at a 45° angle, and said at the same time: "This is shooting at relatives, also known as throwing. It is poor, but it can make the archers invincible."

Shooting the enemy from a long distance, regardless of whether the shot hits the target or not, the enemy has no way to fight back, and there is no possibility of forming an embarrassing situation of close combat.Bai Sheng could understand this, and learned to do it now.

Next, Song Junyi taught Bai Sheng field battles and rounds. Field battles are actually various essentials for dismounting and shooting, even including shooting using the horse's body as a cover; and rounds are two opposing knights. A generalization of the interaction between each other.

After the two demonstrated the six cavalry skills, when they returned to the Chinese army, they were greeted with applause and cheers like a tide.

Those who recommended Bai Sheng to come over had a bright face, looked at Coach Wang and said, "Coach Wang, are the two cavalry I sent here okay?"

The instructor Wang's face was very ugly, because he found that one of the people who performed riding and archery was even better than him. He wanted to pick out a scorpion disease to criticize, but he didn't pick anything out, so he waved his hand immediately: "Okay What are you bluffing about? If you disturb the capital commander to rest, all of you will not escape the military law!"

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, he looked at Bai Sheng and the two with dark faces: "You two each lead [-] cavalry, divide into two teams, and serve as captains. To guard the left and right wings of the carriage, the coach will lead [-] cavalry. Clear the way ahead, and the guards will lead the family to go first! Try to reach Jiankang Mansion within three days."

Bai Sheng was overjoyed immediately, this is really someone who will give you a pillow when you want to sleep, as long as you arrive at Jiankang Mansion within three days, what is there to worry about?

Bai Sheng and Song Junyi became cavalry captains, and their respective cavalrymen came forward to congratulate them one after another. In front of Instructor Wang, the two did not dare to get carried away, and hurriedly ordered their twenty members to enter the designated positions.

Instructor Wang went to the side of the carriage to ask for instructions, and Bai Sheng heard a slightly old voice in the carriage saying: "Then let's go."

"Let's go!" Coach Wang led the thirty cavalrymen he selected to gallop out first, and then the coachman swung his whips, and the cavalry guarding both sides of the carriage also began to gallop.

Galloping on the left side of the carriage, amidst the sound of hoofbeats and wheels rolling, Bai Sheng could still clearly hear the words of the passengers inside.

A kindly female voice said, "It's much more bumpy this way."

"Yes, Mrs. Hardworking."

"Daddy, will we be in danger if we leave the army?"

"Silly boy, it would be more dangerous if we walked slowly with the army."

Bai Sheng knew that the slightly old voice must be from Huang Chang. It sounded like there were his wife and son in the car besides Huang Chang, but his son's voice was very young, unlike the old Huang Chang and his wife. How could such an old couple have such a young child?

Huang Chang seemed to explain to his son: "With the [-] old, weak, sick and disabled allocated by Gao Lian as his father, how can he defeat the fierce Fangla army? Arriving in Jiankang early, he can organize local soldiers and civilians to defend If we arrive in the city in ten days, hey, I'm afraid our family will have to go back to Bianliang directly, and we may not be able to go back."

Mrs. Huang said, "Then why did you bring us and my wife out?"

"Because my husband is not only the ruler of Pingnan Metropolis, but also the prefect of Jiankang Prefecture. I can't easily return to the capital in the future. Who will take care of your orphans and widows?"

"Then daddy, why don't you teach your child martial arts? It's also so that the child can stand upright and take care of his mother."
