There are hundreds of houses and livestock farms on the rocky beach.
An Sanxi rode on an Arabian horse and looked at the thirty soldiers in front of him.
This is all his strength.
A cavalry squad.
After this period of training, these rookies finally learned how to ride a horse. Although they were crooked and awkward, they would not fall off.
An Sanxi decided to take them on a trip to the grassland.
Only real expeditions can train them. Real cavalry cannot be trained in this racecourse. Just like you can't train sailors in a swimming pool.
Yang Fan wrote back and agreed to his request. There was only one request. He didn't ask for any merit, but he just wanted to bring back all the seeds.
"You trash, you can't even ride a horse. What else can you do? You can't do anything, and you won't be able to eat anything. I'm going to take you out this time. Let's beat you up. Let's go to the Mongolian grasslands. One lap, if you fall off the horse, expect to be eaten by wolves.”
The thirty people opposite looked at him laughing and joking. These children were completely immune to his verbal attacks. We didn't care how you scolded them.
These days, I have been numbed by his scoldings. He will scold me if I don't have the correct posture when mounting a horse. I won't let him move while he is on horseback. He will scold anyone who moves. If he moves, I will whip him.
One time, everyone stayed on the horse for three days and three nights, eating, drinking, sleeping, and sleeping on the horse. Some people couldn't sleep while riding on the horse. They couldn't stand it anymore, fell off the horse, and almost dragged themselves.
This can drag people to death.
Being severely punished by An Sanxi left him with a lesson he would never forget.
Later, An Sanxi tied them to horses.
Now it's completely impossible to fall off.
These people were miserable.
Horses sleep standing up. People cannot sleep on horses because they are so sleepy and their whole body aches. It feels like all the joints in my body are about to break.
"Now go back, take a half-day vacation, relax, and have dinner after dark. Everyone will gather tomorrow morning, one person and three horses, with equipment and supplies, and we will set off to visit Duoyan Sanwei's territory."
All of a sudden, all the animals cheered, as excited as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. Holiday, how long has it been since such a beautiful thing has happened? Ever since I arrived at this racecourse, there has been no training, training, training day and night.
They are all military officers and receive high salaries. Their monthly salary starts at five taels of silver. I just got paid this month, and I haven’t gone out for a wild ride yet.
My heart felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching me.
As soon as An Sanxi finished speaking, these animals galloped on their horses and headed straight for Zunhua City. During this period, they were forced to eat boiled beef floss and drink cheese dissolved in water every day, almost as if birds were coming out of their mouths. . It made everyone want to take a bite of weeds when they saw them.
Seeing that these animals were leaving before he finished speaking, he smiled bitterly. After all, they were all fifteen or sixteen-year-old children. After being tormented by him for so long, he should give them some slack. .
For more than a month, they learned to ride horses, learn to use riding bows on galloping horses, learn to kill scarecrows on galloping horses, and learn to shoot with flintlock guns on galloping horses.
Throwing grenades on horseback is also a compulsory subject.
Now the grenade is finally equipped. In the past, the only similar explosives were landmines, which were an iron ball with high phosphorus content filled with ten kilograms of black powder. The grenade must be light enough, because if it is too heavy, it cannot be thrown far, the charge is small, and the power is not enough. It can only scare the enemy and make a sound.
Therefore, it is not possible to fill it with black powder. Explosive powder must be used.
Whether it is fire cotton, bitter acid, or yellow ladders, they cannot be made now, at least until the batch of students studying chemistry graduates.
Yang Fan thought of a way to temporarily replace it. In order to fry fish in rural areas, chemical fertilizers and sawdust were often used, and processed in a certain way to obtain native medicine.
I won’t talk about the specific method. Everyone understands.
In this way, you can get a medicine that is as powerful as 60% of Tienti. In fact, it is already very powerful.
The grenade is filled with this kind of medicine.
The grenade was designed in the form of a long wooden handle, the kind used in later Germany.
Compared with the pineapple and melon shape, this design has some advantages, that is, it has a wooden handle, which serves to lengthen the moment arm and can be thrown farther. In addition, it has good flight stability and accurate throwing. Last but not least, when throwing uphill, you don't roll back down the slope and blow yourself up.
The disadvantage is its heavy weight and limited carrying capacity.
Yang Fan's current equipment is for cavalry. They all have one man and three horses, so there is no big problem.
There are two types of grenades: offensive and defensive.
Offensive grenades, with larger charges and an iron skin. It doesn't produce much fragmentation, and mainly relies on shock waves to kill the enemy. This design is mainly because the attacker has no trench protection, and fragments can easily hit his own people.
Defensive grenades highlight how many fragments are produced to increase the lethality. This is because the defenders are generally in trenches and have sufficient concealment and cover.
Before dark, these animals finally returned from Zunhua. Fortunately, none of them became drunk alone. The military appearance is quite neat.
An Sanxi asked them where they went. They said they went to a hot spring bath that Wei Bancheng opened in the city. The fat boy from Shaodong's family heard that they were Yang Fan's soldiers and gave them a 10% discount.
Each of these animals had a good soak in the hot spring, and then found a bather to rub off half a pound of mud. They hadn't had a shower in a while and it was so dirty and smelly that they were going crazy. Everyone is clean at school, and there is no time to take a shower here.
Finally, I went to the massage master and gave me a good massage to activate my blood circulation. No matter what you feel comfortable with. They didn't come back until dark. They still had some discipline. If they didn't return to the team on time, they would have to practice tonight, and no one would be able to sleep.
An Sanxi was so bad that he often blew the whistle in the middle of the night and called for emergency gatherings. Then he squinted and looked, if everyone didn't have enough time to wear shoes, then they would run tonight. If you don't have enough clothes on, go out and train for three days. In short, Captain An always has a package that suits you.
When everyone came back, they found the captain waiting for them alone, and a sheep had been roasted on the iron shelf. They were all a little touched. Although Captain An trains them to death, he is really kind to them when he is not training. When he went out to play during the holidays, he would kill and roast a whole sheep by himself.
"Get off here, have you had enough? Come down and eat the mutton." An Sanxi roared angrily.
The animals immediately rolled off their saddles and dismounted one by one, gathered around the bonfire with playful smiles, and waited for An Sanxi to break down the whole roasted sheep with a knife and feed them.
They like An Touer's roasted whole lamb the most, but this skill is no longer good. Coupled with the thirty kilograms of barbecue ingredients specially given to them by Yang Fan, it was even better.
During this period, everyone's hard work in training was seen by An Sanxi. No one was a coward. Although everyone complained, they gritted their teeth and completed all the training outlines they made, and no one failed.
Although they can only be said to be able to ride horses now, it is always a good start. This training outline was studied and determined by Yang Fan and him. It absorbed a large amount of the last pinnacle of the world's cavalry, the training and combat methods of the French cavalry, especially the intensive formation training shoulder to shoulder.
So let them relax today and cook them something delicious at the same time. When these animals heard that they were roasting whole lambs, they howled with excitement, just like wolf cubs.
Let's all eat, eat well, and have a good sleep. When we set off tomorrow, this time it won't be a drill, it will really be deep into the enemy's territory. If its wings are not weathered by wind and rain, they will never grow into an eagle in the sky.
