Everyone mounted their horses again and galloped through the night, running wildly in the night wind.
Fuyuxiang shouted again, asking everyone to be energetic and not to slack off just because there is a horse.
When galloping at night, it's like running into a car, and the worst thing to avoid is being trapped and the horse being overwhelmed.
When a person is sleepy, he cannot relax his mind, otherwise he will fall out, causing death or injury.
When a horse is tired, you need to find out in advance. If you force the horse to continue running, it will stumble or be thrown out, which will result in death or injury.
This is how Fuyuxiang leads his troops.
As a frontier lieutenant with a higher eye than his own, he looked down upon these nerds and never concealed his disdain and contempt.
But as a general, he never dared to relax and imparted the experience of the old soldiers without reservation, time and time again, with great patience, because these nerds he looked down on were his soldiers who subdued fish and elephants, and he wanted to treat himself responsible people, even if they are a bunch of useless nerds.
It can be seen that these twenty people, including Feng Bai, all respect Fu Yuxiang. Whether they respect him superficially or they are convinced orally, they must have convinced written on their faces anyway.
Jiang Zhui and Feng Bai were still in the front, Han You and Teacher Gong, the first-level protected waste of the country, were in the middle, followed by thirty Southern Army killers and nineteen miscellaneous soldiers, and Lu Baichuan and Fu Yuxiang were at the end.
The one who is more awesome is Ji Ying. Ji Ying seems to be asleep, lying on the horse and letting the horse run away. Brother Kun is as motionless as a mountain.
Professional and unprofessional can be seen at a glance.
Thirty Confederate soldiers had expressionless faces. They were extremely relaxed in controlling their horses, and their speed and movements were consistent. The bodies of the nineteen miscellaneous soldiers were always undulating greatly, consuming their energy for no reason, and they could only grit their teeth. support.
They have become accustomed to the "rules" in the camp. The biggest rule is not on paper, but to respect the strong.
People who work hard and are powerful will be praised, and will have a ubiquitous sense of superiority and special care.
Those who are stupid, unwilling to work hard, are under tremendous pressure all the time, will be used as negative teaching materials anytime and anywhere, and will be humiliated again and again by an invisible and intangible atmosphere.
Although the military horses in the villa are good horses, they are not the war horses trained all year round in the North and South Passes. They have never run so far all year round, and they are gradually getting tired. Their big eyes are bloodshot, and their mouths are covered with white foam. .
Han You ordered to slow down the horse and let it canter.
This kind of jogging is actually a kind of relaxation for military horses. They can stroll around for a while to regain their physical strength, just like people stop and walk for a while during long-distance running, and then continue running after regaining their physical strength.
After the horses slowed down completely, many of the soldiers were exhausted and lay on the horses with their eyes closed for longer and longer periods of time.
You must know that Han You also suddenly got the news and entered the palace. He went to Jingzhao Mansion to talk to his father and then rode out of the city. He also stayed up all day and galloped for half the night.
Seeing more and more miscellaneous soldiers lying on the horse, Lu Baichuan cursed: "You are indeed a bunch of losers. Even my young master can persist until now, but you are so unbearable. Are you not even as good as my young master?" , losers, and useless nerds, cheer me up!"
Han You, who was a little sleepy at first, became energetic. He turned around and held it in for a long time without scolding. He admired Zhou Ke even more.
Jiang Zhui took advantage of the opportunity and said, "You can't keep this kind of birdman alive during the New Year. Shao Yin, I, the commander, tell him to get out of here and give me his salary. I can do all the errands he does."
Han You rolled his eyes: "What other errands has he done?"
"He doesn't do anything, so I said I can do his errands."
Han You gave a thumbs up, feeling that Ah Zhui was still a high-level black guy.
After jogging for twenty miles, everyone slowed down their horses again.
We are almost at the place. There is a fork in front of the official road. Han You's first stop is not Changyuan, but Zhechong Mansion, which is thirteen miles away from Changyuan. He will then ask Zhechong Mansion to quickly notify the two garrison guards, and then the garrison battalion will mobilize nearby. A young and strong civilian husband.
"There's someone ahead!"
Feng Bai's eyesight was extremely amazing. No one else saw it, but he actually saw a "fire" at least three to four hundred meters away, a swaying fire.
Fu Yuxiang seemed to know that Feng Bai had extraordinary eyesight, so he shouted "Tan".
Two veterans of the Confederate army rushed out of the team. One pulled out a long knife and placed it on the right side of the horse's belly, while the other pulled out a short bow from under the horse's belly.
It's no wonder that Fuyuxiang is cautious. Someone appears on the official road in the dark before dawn, which is naturally suspicious.
Fuyuxiang shouted "disperse" again.
Many veterans of the Southern Army took the reins of the soldiers next to them. The team was divided into three. More than ten veterans protected Han You. The other two teams were one behind the other, and all the veterans carrying short bows were drawn out. Bow and arrow.
All the miscellaneous soldiers became nervous. Seeing the old soldiers as if they were facing a formidable enemy, they lost their sleepiness and looked at the people around them in slight panic, feeling at a loss.
Han You's eyes were once again attracted by Feng Bai. The latter actually lay down on the horse, pressed his body tightly against the horse's back, and also controlled the horse under his crotch to shift slightly, which can be understood as "facing the enemy from the side." .
You must know that this is an instinct, the instinct of a veteran.
When encountering an unknown enemy situation, the old pawn without a bow and arrows will adopt this posture. The war horse stands sideways and can turn the horse's head to leave immediately, which can save a lot of time. Secondly, if it is trapped in a tight siege or attacked by arrows, it can Temporarily using the war horse as a "shield" and pressing the body against the horse's back is also to reduce the chance of being hit by arrows.
Not only Han You noticed it, but Lu Baichuan also noticed it.
There are only two reasons why Feng Bai can have this habit. First, he has been trained since childhood, and second, he is accustomed to it in the military.
It is definitely impossible to be in the army, so the only possibility is that he has been trained since childhood. So the question is, is he a son of a noble family or a commoner, what is the purpose of training from childhood?
Therefore, this matter is very contradictory. Feng Bai said that he was born as a commoner, and his family hoped that he would find a way out in Beijing and participate in the imperial examination.
Since he was participating in the imperial examination and wanted to be a civil servant, why did he receive this kind of battle training from an early age?
Lu Baichuan glanced at Han You and saw that the latter was also staring at Feng Bai without saying a word. Han You noticed it and Dachuan'er naturally wouldn't remind him again.
After a while, two veterans of the Confederate Army returned, bringing with them an armored cavalryman.
At first glance, they were the soldiers of Zhe Chong Mansion, and they were also heavy armored cavalry.
The most obvious difference between heavy armor cavalry and frontier cavalry is horse armor.
The border troops generally do not leave the border. When they leave the border, they are engaged in pursuit battles, which require strong maneuverability. The equipment is naturally light armor. Even many brave frontier cavalry directly abandon light armor under special circumstances.
As for Zhechong Mansion, especially Shangfu and Zhongfu, their duty is to quell chaos and maintain local stability. They do not need to travel long distances. The "armor" they wear includes horse armor.
The horse's head, neck, shoulders to chest, both sides of the waist and buttocks are all hung with "armor", that is, "face curtain", "chicken neck", "dang chest", "horse body armor" and "horse back". The war horse under his crotch covered two-thirds of the area.
The horse cavalry is equipped with continuous armor, which is made of fish scale-shaped armor. The length of the armor is extended to the abdomen. The forearms are made of leather, and the hem is still armor. It is arc-shaped, and the abdomen and chest are inlaid with oval iron armor. .
If it is an ordinary mob or some mountain bandits, even if there are thousands of people, the number of soldiers and cavalry wearing this kind of equipment does not need to be many, just a hundred, and two or three charges can completely break up the enemy formation.
When the cavalryman arrived in front of Jiang Zhui, he dismounted and knelt down on one knee. The sound of armor clashing could be heard endlessly.
"I'm humble, Cao Liyi, the commander of Xunxian Zhechong, has met all the generals."
Zhechong Mansion is divided into upper, middle and lower ranks, with Zhechong Duwei being the largest. Shangfu is from the fourth rank, Zhongfu is from the fifth rank, Lower Mansion is from the sixth rank, and those who have reached the sixth rank in the army are considered "generals".
Zhechong Shangfu can command the auxiliary barracks and garrison guards. Not counting auxiliary troops and military followers, there are 1,200 people in Shangfu, 1,000 people in Zhongfu, and 800 people in Lower Mansion.
However, by the end of the previous dynasty, there were a lot of shortages in the Zhechong Prefecture in various places. The most serious Zhechong Prefecture, especially the Xiafu, was basically full of soldiers. The better ones only had two-thirds of the soldiers, and the more remote ones had Not even half of it.
Zhechong Mansion in Xun County is close to the center of the capital. It is difficult to move even once every three to five years. At most, it is just an expedition with the army. It is just a lower mansion. It was originally established to escort mining teams or collect taxes.
Han You stepped forward on horseback and asked suspiciously: "What are you doing standing on the official road in the middle of the night?"
"Waiting for help from Beijing to save the people of Changyuan."
Cao Liyi, whose face could not be seen in the darkness, said anxiously: "It has been thirteen hours since the Changyuan Mountain collapsed. There are four thousand trapped people. The capital has not given orders. I dare not lead my men there." Open the mountain.”
"Next time, if there is a next time."
Han You said loudly: "There is no need to wait for the imperial court to issue an order. We must immediately gather young men and soldiers to dig mountains and rescue people. If something goes wrong, our captain will take care of it for you."
Cao Liyi raised his head in the darkness, trying to see Han You's face clearly.
The voice was too young, but the words he said made him extremely moved. He was just a small commander, how could he carry him around?
Cao Liyi sighed silently. For such a big thing, it was really chilling for the court to send only one captain.
When the two veterans of the Southern Army passed by just now, they did not say that they were from Yidao Guards, but that they were sent from Beijing, so Cao Liyi did not know the identity of this group of people.
