With hundreds of pairs of heavy cavalry armor, Xu Mu went to the back mountains outside Chengdu. In fact, he wanted to practice riding, so the military training field was the perfect place, but Xu Mu didn't want the Liangzhou spies to find out about the heavy armor of Shu Cavalry too early.
In the open space at the back of the mountain, Wei Feng had already chosen the candidate early and was impatient to wait. Seeing Xu Mu coming, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Lord, don't worry, these hundred people are all veterans of Qinglong Camp." Wei Feng said seriously.
"Greetings to my lord!" Behind Wei Feng, hundreds of soldiers clasped their fists at Xu Mu.
"Okay, you and I can be considered old brothers."
The 3,000 Qinglong camp sent by the young marquis at the beginning, but after returning to the inner city, only more than 400 people remained. After entering Shu again and fighting in the north and south, except for some people who were promoted to generals, the Qinglong Camp now has less than 200 people.
"Wei Feng, let your brother drink some hot wine first and then train your horse."
Xu Mu started to walk, and with Yin Hu, he calmly found a place and sat on the ground.
When he attacks Liang next year, these heavy cavalry will be his weapons to defeat Liangqi. Therefore, he had to watch carefully and improve every problem.
After finishing the wine, he put on his armor again. Wei Feng, who was riding on the horse under his face-covering helmet, turned his head and clasped his fists.
"Lord, we are ready!"
The heavy armor was not dyed, but even so, the bright iron still made the heavy armored cavalry of a hundred people look powerful.
"Wei Feng, let the Six Heroes of Yin take a look at my heavy armored cavalry from Shuzhou!"
"Take orders!"
Yin Hu was beside him. After picking his forehead, he quickly raised his head and looked forward seriously.
The entire open space behind the mountain seemed to shake all of a sudden. Hundreds of carefully selected war horses were probably weighed down by the weight. They were not used to it for a while and kept neighing.
Fortunately, Baiqi Heavy Armor finally succeeded in running. Wei Feng, who was wearing a face-covering helmet, was very high-spirited for a moment and ran at the front, excitedly raising the heavy iron gun in his hand.
"Ping gun, level gun!"
Earlier, in order to train a heavy-armored horse, according to Xu Mu's wishes, Wei Feng had to select the best war horses and carry heavy loads every day.
Now it seems that it is really a wise move.
"Peel through the cold dog!"
Under heavy riding, Wei Feng thrust forward with his spear, and the fixed tree stump half a man high was instantly broken by the power of the charge, causing sawdust to fly.
At this scene, even Xu Mu stood up in surprise.
The same was true for the hundred-man heavy cavalry behind them, relying on the power of the charge to continuously smash tree stumps.
"Put your gun back and take a roundabout route!" Wei Feng raised his head and shouted angrily.
Unexpectedly, he struggled to put away the gun and fell off his horse.
"Cui, my Zhang Dacui——"
…
Wei Feng wiped his nosebleed and sat next to Xu Mu. From time to time he would lean over and look at what Xu Mu was drawing with a twig.
"Wei Feng, is it difficult to close the gun?"
Xu Mu previously thought it was caused by Wei Feng's personal life problems, but later he found that most of the Qinglong Camp soldiers were like this.
"Lord, there are some. I guess on the battlefield, you won't be able to pick and kill Liang Gou."
"You're not Si Hu, just stab and kill him, no need to be fancy." Xu Mu frowned. It seems that it is still a bit heavier after all. What needs to be improved is not only the heavy iron gun, but also the cavalry armor. It would be great if some more weight could be removed.
There is still some time left, and by the beginning of spring, if the iron workshop can drive out 500 pairs of heavy cavalry armor, the task will be considered completed.
"Wei Feng, take the brothers back first. I'll think about it in the next two days."
"Okay, my lord."
"By the way, Wei Feng, there are still some Shu brocades in the palace. Come over tomorrow and take some back to your family, Dacui."
Wei Feng was a little nervous.
"If you don't want it, I'll call Brother Tiger to come and evacuate it tomorrow."
"My lord, I want my Da Cuiruo to look like a beauty in new clothes!"
Xu Mu nodded, "Pay attention to your health."
…
For two days in a row, Xu Mu was considering the issue of unloading heavy armor. In the end, I decided to abandon the iron boots and replace them with animal skin boots. In addition, the design of the battle skirt has also been streamlined.
When the drawings were sent to the ironworks, for the sake of a few big fishes, Chen Datie only cursed a few times.
"The road is long and long." Walking out of the street, Xu Mu looked at the sky and spoke a little tiredly. The two days of revising the drawings brought him back to his previous life in a daze.
"The helmsman is a great talent. Any one of his words can be regarded as a famous saying in the world. Although I have read many ancient books and written poems, compared with my lord, he is like a spark that starts a prairie fire, and a firefly that is not as bright as the moonlight."
"Six Heroes, you were never like this before."
"The chief helmsman's benevolent style always accompanies me. As the saying goes, those who are close to the vermillion will be red."
"Next time, use some new words. I like to hear them." Xu Mu smiled and patted Yin Hu on the shoulder.
Following the long street, under the protection of more than a hundred knight guards, the two people moved forward slowly.
The atmosphere seems to be that of the New Year, getting closer and closer. In the city of Chengdu, there are many kinds of strange businesses. Even the girls from the Qing Dynasty Hall dared to walk down the stairs, waving their fragrant handkerchiefs, attracting patrons one after another, and hurriedly walked into the Qing Dynasty Hall. .
The most common ones are Spring Festival couplets, calligraphy and painting, and earthen jars with seasonings for cooking spring fish. Of course, there were a lot of entertainers. After walking a few more steps, Xu Mu actually saw someone playing with chest-breaking stones at the entrance of an alley.
"Master, when I was young, I was still in Lizhou. I saw someone who also had a big stone broken in his chest. It must be because he didn't know how to use it. The apprentice hammered down the stone, and the master who was playing with the big stone bulged his eyes and coughed up blood. Later, he saved me. Not alive, I heard that there was a quarrel with the government, and the disciple who carried the hammer also got a round of lawsuits."
"However, the big man in front of me is as strong as an iron tower and extremely strong..." Yin Hu picked his nose, and his tone began to become a little weird, "The helmsman came to see, I think this man... looks a bit like Brother Tiger? "
Xu Mu, who was strolling in the courtyard, heard this and hurriedly moved away from the crowd. Sure enough, he saw Si Hu lying on a straw mat with a stone slab on his chest. Meng Huo next to him was carrying a stone hammer. Get ready to smash down.
"I'm your father!" Xu Mu was startled and immediately cursed. Take off your shoes and rush forward.
Considering that Si Hu started a family, his monthly salary was increased five times. This month's salary is already the highest among the generals in Shuzhou. But this guy, I heard that he had asked Gongou to borrow money before.
"Dad, the lord is here!" Meng Huo turned pale with fright and did not dare to move without the stone hammer.
Si Hu was even more frightened and smashed the stone slab with a slap. He jumped up and tried to climb over the wall, but fell to the ground again. Xu Mu grabbed his shoes and beat him several times.
"What, what do you want!" Xu Mu put down his shoes and swallowed them with a bang.
The people watching nearby shouted "Meet the King of Shu" in a hurry and dispersed like birds and beasts.
"Little Man King, come here too!"
"A general from Shuzhou and a king from the Pingman camp, good guys, are playing in the streets with their chests broken with rocks."
"Brother Hu, where is your money? The monthly expenses given to you are quite a lot, right?"
Si Hu hurriedly got up and stood carefully next to Xu Mu.
"Brother Mu, I want to save money."
"What are you saving money for?"
"Brother Mu, I have thought about it. In the future, if I have a son, my son will have grandchildren, and my eldest son, Meng Huo, will also get a wife by then——"
Xu Mu rubbed his forehead, "You have given birth to a son, and your son has given birth to a grandson. And your eldest son Meng Huo... If you want to marry a wife, my brother has taken care of it for you."
After all, at this moment, Xu Mu felt a vague sense of relief in his heart. After starting a family, Si Hu finally grew up slowly.
"If you want more money, come here and tell me. As long as I have it, I will give it to you. If you run out on the street and break a big stone on your chest, I will beat you until you cry!"
