The horse moves very fast, and the bow is as frightening as a thunderbolt. ------"Broken Array" by Xin Qiji of the Southern Song Dynasty
Back at Huang Mansion, Huang Gai came back excitedly with two pairs of shiny stirrups, and found Chen Long to ask how to install them. Chen Long saw that it was well-made, so he asked his servants to bring him a horse and some strong leather straps. With the saddle on the horse, Chen Long hung the stirrup on the leather strap, tied it tightly on both sides of the saddle, and hung it down to the appropriate length of the horse's belly. Seeing that everything was in order, he laughed proudly, picked up a spear, jumped on his horse, rushed to the wooden stake for the dummy, stood up from the stirrup, and chopped down the barrel of the gun with all his strength. There was a loud bang, and the wooden pile was completely shattered, leaving Huang Gai next to him with a face full of broken wood.
Huang Gai was stunned when he saw it. He swallowed his saliva and said happily: "This stirrup turns out to have such a wonderful effect. It can make the person on the horse use all his strength. Let me try it." He pulled Chen Long down. , get on the horse by yourself. The horse turned around and sprinted, smashing another wooden stake into pieces with a bang, giving Chen Long a look of slag.
Chen Long helplessly wiped the wood residue on his face and said: "Yes, with these stirrups, you can free your thighs from the force of clamping the horse's belly and use them to push up your body, so that you can use your whole body's strength when facing the enemy. In fact, , stirrups also have the wonderful function of controlling horses..." Seeing that Huang Gai had just got his favorite toy, he seemed not to hear it at all, rolled his eyes and went back to the room to watch the peach blossoms.
Chen Long returned to the room, took off his riding boots, found two pieces of hardwood, and asked Taohua to find a way to sew them into the ground of the boots. Although Taohua was puzzled, she still obeyed the instructions and had to use all her strength to fix it firmly. Chen Long found two more thick nails and fixed them on the hardwood. The thick nail tails protruded from behind his heels. After packing up, I put a set on my feet, stamped my feet, and the most primitive spur boots were ready. The peach blossom looked ugly, so he found a few pieces of animal skin, wrapped the hard wood and sewed it tightly, leaving only two nail tails exposed. This time it was beautiful and generous. Chen Long hugged the peach blossom and kissed it, and said with a chuckle: "Young man Huang Gai, don't even want to know the secret of the Spurs, hahaha."
Although the spurs are small, they are a powerful weapon to stimulate the horse to gallop and turn suddenly. Of course, Chen Long will not hide his secrets, but it is necessary to be proud in front of Huang Gai for a few days. Chen Long likes to watch this kid's greed. In this way, Chen Long thought to himself, this is also a kind of psychological abnormality, hehehehe.
It was getting late, and it was dinner time. Chen Long changed into a pair of soft boots and went to the Xuan Hall to have dinner with Taohua. He heard the sound of hoofbeats in the courtyard in front. It turned out that Huang Gongfu was still having fun. Chen Long pursed his lips and blew a whistle. Huang Gai's horse had been toiled for an hour and was probably tired. Hearing Chen Long's whistle, he ignored Huang Gai's command and went back to the stable to eat. . Huang Gai jumped off the horse, threw the big gun away, and cursed: "What a broken horse!" He rushed in front of Chen Long, grinning almost to the ears, and shouted loudly: "It's so good! It's so good! Brother, I am I fucking adore you!" Chen Long's eardrums trembled as he was so angry that he punched his lower abdomen and said, "We are so close, why are you yelling?" After that, he turned around and left, leaving behind Huang Gai, who was beaten and bowed, coughed and almost lost his breath.
During dinner, Huang Gai told Huang An about the stirrups with his eyebrows flying. Huang An was also amazed and asked Chen Long how he came up with such a wonderful thing. Chen Long hesitated and hesitated, then remembered one thing and said to Huang An: "Father, I still have a vacant master register here. You must come and help me." Huang An knew that Chen Long was short of people, so he declined after a few words. I agreed. Chen Long continued: "Father, how is your relationship with Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng? The new army has been established here, and there is a shortage of generals. I would like to ask my foster father to write a letter to Han Sheng. If he can come to my place to start a business together, I will give it to him. He is a full-time teacher, and his official position is only lower than that of Liu Xian and I. As for the salary, let him do whatever he wants, how about it?" Huang An agreed without even thinking about it. As the saying goes, there are three things that can't be done if there are no dates, not to mention it's just a matter of time. Write a letter. Chen Long said with a shy face: "If he can bring more generals over and use them all, hehe." Huang An and Huang Gai were dumbfounded, thinking that Wen Long was really thick-skinned and wanted to promote Han Dynasty to Han Dynasty with just one brush. All the old people came here.
After Huang Gai finished his dinner, he went to pack up his new toys. Chen Long thought about recruiting troops and generals, his head was getting bigger and bigger, and he fell asleep early. When I woke up, I dreamed of Zhang Ning next to the peonies again, looking so innocent and beautiful. I thought to myself, why didn't this old ghost Ma Yuanyi send someone to report? Shaking his head, we have only been separated for a few days, how could it be so fast? When Taohua saw him getting up, she also got up to help him get dressed. The two of them packed up and went to the Xuan Hall to have breakfast. At a glance, they saw Huang Gai riding a horse there for morning exercises. The horse was spitting out white gas, probably because he was complaining to Chen Long about Huang Gai and not letting him rest well. When Huang Gai saw Chen Long, he got off his horse and said, "Brother, I have prepared everything for you." As he said this, he pulled a horse over. Sure enough, the stirrups were fastened properly. Chen Long couldn't help but praise Huang Gai. , not to mention having breakfast together.
Today is an important day for recruiting troops in the school field. Several important generals came to the gate of Huang Mansion early to wait for Chen Long. Chen Long, Huang Gai, and Huang An led their horses out. They saw Liu Min and Yang Huai coming, and they hurriedly said hello to each of them. The generals put their right hands straight in front of their foreheads. This was the military salute that Chen Long taught them. Chen Long had returned the salute and was in a good mood. He patted Liu Min's broad shoulders and said, "General Liu, you are currently on Liu Xian's fourth rank." The division serves as the deputy division commander and trains shield and sword soldiers. Liu Xian is also responsible for internal affairs. There are too many things to do. You should pay more attention to the fourth division. When the army expands in the future, you will be promoted based on military merit." Liu Min was overjoyed and thanked him. He knew Chen Long was afraid that he would embarrass his lieutenants under Liu Xian, Huang Gai and Liu Yong, so he was specially placed under Liu Xian, out of gratitude for Chen Long's virtue. Chen Long looked at Yang Huai again. Yang Huai's eyes flickered a little, obviously he was still afraid that he would not gain everyone's trust. Chen Long smiled slightly and said: "Gang Leader Yang, I want you to come forward and form Lingling's own navy, are you willing?" Yang Huai didn't expect Chen Long to trust him so much, so he burst into tears of gratitude, bowed his hands and said: "How dare Yang Huai Failure!" Chen Long laughed loudly and said: "In that case, I will appoint you as the deputy commander of the Navy and prepare for the establishment from now on. In addition, you can continue to manage the affairs of the gang and report anything to Liu Xian. "As he spoke, he helped Yang Huai up and said loudly: "Let's go!"
Everyone followed Chen Longma, spread their horses' hooves after leaving the city, and galloped all the way to the school grounds. Along the way, Huang Gai triumphantly controlled the horse to swing from side to side. For some reason, everyone let him go. They thought Huang Gai drank a few cups in the morning, but they didn't know that Huang Gai was showing off his new stirrup.
Flags have been fluttering on the school field, and swords and guns are sharp, but in Chen Long's view, the situation is uneven and morale is low. Chen Long dismounted and stood on the high platform beside the school field. Next to him, Liu Xian reported: "Brother, all the soldiers and horses from several camps here have arrived. Now there is a shortage of horses. There are only three thousand fully equipped cavalry and infantry." There are more than 30,000 people." Chen Long nodded, indicating that he understood. After getting off the high platform and reaching the middle of the team, he saw only old ones and young ones. Even their armors were in tatters. Chen Long walked up to an old man with a white beard and saw him holding a gun. He didn't know that he was holding the gun. Holding the gun, the gun was holding him up. Seeing that the old guy was crumbling, Chen Long frowned and walked up to the veteran and asked: "Old man, which division are you from?" The veteran stood at attention and replied: "I am from the third division, a rifleman." Chen Long said "You try stabbing me." Hearing this, the old man spent a long time before raising his gun. Before he could exert any force, he was already panting and said: "Old man, I only know how to feed pigs." The soldiers next to him fired. With a laugh, the old man smiled sheepishly, showing his big yellow teeth and said: "It's just a meal..." Liu Yong, the commander of the third division, was embarrassed and hurriedly said to Chen Long: "This is a logistics soldier, a logistics soldier."
Chen Long walked around a lot and got a rough impression of this group of bear soldiers. He thought he could only streamline them first and then recruit them. He said to several division commanders: "Generals, please send away all the old, young, sick and disabled first. They should farm the land and feed the pigs. Let the regimental commanders in charge of logistics make arrangements before giving them to me." Report. In addition, divide your own four divisions into four square formations and gather them to the west of the school ground. Leave an open space on the high platform east of the school ground." Several division commanders went down one after another, and soon only a few deputy generals were seen. A large number of old, weak, sick and disabled people gathered together and returned to the camp sparsely.
The four divisions were divided into camps, and the division commanders each stood in front of the queue. It was indeed much more orderly. Chen Long asked several division commanders. Currently, there are about 6,000 cavalry divisions, half of which do not have war horses; there are more than 5,000 archer divisions, more than 9,000 spearmen divisions, and more than 8,000 swordsman divisions. After getting up, the number of troops capable of fighting was less than 30,000. Chen Long stood on the high platform, with several division commanders lined up on the left and right, filled with great pride. These soldiers are his own team, why should he care about his current combat effectiveness? As long as he trains diligently, who knows if he can train an elite soldier?
There were no loudspeakers in ancient times. Chen Long used his inner strength and shouted loudly: "I am the new governor Chen Long and Chen Wenlong. Those who are here today are all my soldiers in Lingling. It is your responsibility to protect your hometown, the Xiangjiang River, and the weak, and it is also mine." Responsibility! From today on, our army has officially changed its name to the Qinglong Army. We are working hard and waiting for the right time. I believe that you will become a powerful army in the world in the future!" After speaking, he raised his arms and shouted: "The Qinglong Army will win! The Green Dragon Army must win!" The generals behind were also excited, raising their arms and shouting together. The soldiers below responded sparsely at first, and gradually the soldiers behind also raised their swords and shouted: "We must win! We must win!" Until he was hoarse and his majestic roar reached into the sky.
Seeing that the results were good, Chen Long got off the high platform and asked Huang Gai to set up five archery targets in the open space. This is a scheduled program. Let the disciples show their martial arts skills today, so that they can fight to the death and return home. Chen Long first unfolded the Qinglong flag in Huang Gai's hand, jumped up to a height of thirty meters, raised it like a cannon to the top of the pole, and stepped firmly, pulling down the large flag on the central flagpole, and the Qinglong flag slowly fluttered. When he got up, a green dragon with teeth and claws immediately came to life. Seeing Chen Long's unparalleled lightness skills, Sergeant Qinglong cheered, and voices of victory were heard again.
Chen Long jumped down, mounted his horse, and was about to perform an archery show. Suddenly, he saw a cloud of dust rising in the east. A young general from the periphery hurried over and said with a military salute: "Commander of the Army, the Changsha reinforcements are led by General Huang Zhong. They have already arrived." Arrived outside the school grounds.”
It turned out that when the Yellow Turbans attacked the city, Liu Xian had already sent people to Xiangyang, Changsha and Guiyang to ask for reinforcements. Xiangyang was too busy to take care of itself and delayed sending troops. Guiyang had only a few soldiers and did not send troops to help at all. Only Changsha Huang Hansheng heard that Lingling was urgent and came with his troops. On the way, I heard that the siege of Lingling had been lifted, so I asked the deputy general to take the troops back to Changsha. I took more than a hundred soldiers and went to Lingling to see old friends. I happened to meet Chen Long here to order troops.
Chen Long was overjoyed and quickly led several division commanders to mount their horses to greet him. Walking out of the school grounds, I saw more than a hundred cavalry, led by one man, who was probably less than forty years old. He was wearing fine armor, had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth, with a black beard reaching to his chest. He was not angry and had a strong waist. With a sword on his back and an iron bow on his back, he looks really majestic and majestic. When Huang An saw it, he rode over early, beaming with joy, and shouted: "My brother Han Sheng, you are really here!" The general was also overjoyed when he saw Huang An. He dismounted, took off his helmet, and shook hands with Huang An. Chen Long saw that he was slightly bald, and thought of the white-haired old general with unrivaled martial arts skills described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He almost shot Guan Yu to death with a divine arrow, and killed Xia Houyuan at Dingjun Mountain. He turned over and dismounted, and infinite yearning arose in his heart.
Huang An took Huang Zhong's hand and introduced him to Chen Long. Huang Gai saluted respectfully: "Uncle Shi." Huang Zhong said hello, looked at Chen Long and saluted: "Are you the prefect Wenlong?" Chen Long was delighted. He returned the courtesy and said, "I have heard from my adoptive father that my uncle's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, and his magical arrows pierce the clouds. Today I can see him. He is indeed a hero. Wen Long is really lucky." Huang Zhong said: "The prefect is too polite. I am just a little boy." Little military attache, how can you think that you can call me Uncle Shi instead of Han Sheng?" Chen Long said quickly: "Then you can just call me Wen Long, and I will call you Han Sheng." The generals behind him laughed. .
Everyone was chatting happily, and Huang Zhong asked: "Wen Long, I heard that you have formed a new army called Qinglong. Can you take me to see it?" Chen Long said happily: "I was about to ask Han Sheng to give me some advice." With that, he asked his subordinates to greet Huang. Gai's soldiers rested and took Huang Zhong's hand. When Huang Zhong saw Chen Long passing by, all the soldiers cheered and couldn't help but nodded slightly. Looking up, he saw the Qinglong flag flying high and several archery targets in the field. He couldn't help but ask: "Wenlong, are you competing in archery?" Huang Gai said from behind: "Uncle Shi, you don't know. That day when the Yellow Turbans attacked the city, Chen The prefect shot an arrow through the head of the thief from a hundred feet away, shocking the Yellow Turban." Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong looked at Chen Long in surprise, secretly wanting to compete. Seeing that Huang Zhong was doubtful, Chen Long smiled and said, "Han Sheng, I know you are good at shooting fast arrows. Since you have come to the school today, it is better to hit the sun. How about you and I try our bows and arrows?"
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but shout loudly. Huang Zhong felt itchy for a moment and nodded in agreement. Liu Xian had prepared the powerful ten-stone bow for Chen Long. Chen Long grabbed it, put the arrow pot on his back, and shouted: "You have to show your shame first!" The horse rushed until it was a hundred feet away from the target. , the spur lightly tapped the horse's belly, and the horseman stood up. Chen Long turned his head and looked at the moon. The powerful arrow flew out of the string with a whoosh, flew across the empty field like lightning, and exploded an archery target into pieces with a bang.
