Chapter 123 The Conception of Cavalry

"prick!"

"kill!"

"Step forward and stab again!"

"kill!"

On the playground of the barracks, the first company of the Security Army was practicing long spear formation, shouting angrily one by one, while in front of a group of people, two people were sitting in the sun basking in the sun.

These two people were none other than the fourth child, Wang Guixiang, and the third child, Li Chaofeng, who Li Chaosheng had rescued from the Black Dragon Village. Both of them had been seriously injured some time ago and were recuperating in the military camp.

The two looked at the soldiers who were practicing assassination in the barracks. The fourth child said to the third child Li Chaofeng: "Third brother, your family is very good. The pikemen are well-trained. If they are trained well, they will be considered as good for us cavalry soldiers." They're all huge threats."

"Ah, ah~"

Li Chaofeng had his tongue cut off, so he yelled twice, and the fourth child said, "Understood, it depends on who leads the soldiers, right?"

Li Chaofeng nodded, and Wang Guixiang said: "Third brother, we are almost recovering from our injuries, we can't be idle like this, why don't you take the time to find the boss?"

Li Chaofeng nodded after hearing this: "Ah..."

The fourth child continued: "Okay, let's bask in the sun."

"Where are the two brothers basking in the sun?"

When Li Chaosheng came back from the village, he saw two people sitting on the ground basking in the sun saying something. After hearing these words, the two stood up immediately. The fourth child smiled and said, "Battle Commander, you are back."

Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "I just came back from the private school, by the way, what are you talking about here?"

After hearing this, the fourth child said: "We just said that our injuries are almost healed, and we will go to the boss when we have time, and help the boss train his soldiers and so on."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Oh, I just wanted to talk to you about this matter."

Li Chaosheng sat down and said, "Come, sit, let's chat."

As he sat down, Li Chaosheng looked at the two of them and said, "We are all one family. Brother Chaofeng is my cousin, and Guixiang is not an outsider. He is a cavalry soldier, so he must have experience, so I wonder if he can help me." Li Chaosheng said, he captured during the attack on Heilongzhai this time, plus the horses captured before, Li Chaosheng now has a total of six horses in his hands, but they were all scattered. , Heilongzhai kept two horses, and now there are four horses in the barracks.

Li Chaosheng is an ambitious master. He has four usable war horses. Li Chaosheng wanted to raise a cavalry. Hearing this, the old man said: "Battalion Commander, to tell you the truth, raising cavalry is expensive work. Not as cheap as infantry."

Li Chaosheng said: "I know, but I still want to try."

After hearing this, the fourth son said: "Battlemaster, since you want to raise cavalry, I will tell you that cavalry is very expensive and difficult to train. First of all, the most difficult thing is the horse. If you want to train cavalry, ordinary Bad horses are no good, just like the ones that pull carts, they can’t fight at all, not to mention that this kind of horse is not good at running, when the soldiers on both sides shouted to kill when they arrived on the battlefield, they immediately panicked and turned around and ran away.”

"So horses must be war horses, and the court strictly prohibits the sale of war horses. Of course, these days, the court is not so strict, and the demand for war horses has increased. Selling horses, but the price is extremely expensive, about seven or eighty taels of silver per horse."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng was stunned for a moment, seven or eighty taels of silver per horse, this horse is really expensive, you must know that these days, you can buy a 80 or [-] year old girl on the street to serve as a servant girl, and it only costs ten taels of silver , one horse is equal to seven maidservants, this horse is really inlaid with gold.

But Li Chaosheng thought about it again, and it was actually normal. Even in today's society, the Hong Kong Jockey Club can sell a horse for a huge sum of tens of millions.

Of course, civilian horses are useless and so expensive. The price of a civilian horse in the normal market is only a few thousand yuan, but these horses Li Chaosheng is 100% sure that they will not be able to go to the battlefield.

And a horse like this that can go to the battlefield is probably not cheap in the real world.

Seeing Li Chaosheng's hesitation, the fourth child continued: "Besides, buying and maintaining this war horse is also a problem. This war horse needs to be feeded, and sometimes it even needs to be fed with grain, bean cakes, etc., so that it can be strong and able to fight. If the feeding is not good, the horse will definitely die."

"You scholars have a saying, yes, if you don't have enough food and strength, you can't show your beauty. In this way, the war horses must be fed enough to fight."

The fourth child said, and continued: "The cost of raising a horse is not a small amount. In the end, it is the cavalry. Of course, such a good horse needs talented cavalry to control it. They need to learn how to draw a bow and swing a knife immediately. , and even learn to sleep on horseback, for this is a good cavalryman."

"When we were selected back then, we didn't necessarily select one qualified person out of ten. Although our tribe is good, I can only see a few qualified ones at a glance, and the rest are not good."

As the fourth child spoke, Li Chaofeng, who was beside him, nodded his head, indicating that what the fourth child said was true.

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I understand, let's put aside the matter of the cavalry for now, can I buy this war horse with money now?"

"Yes, yes, but how much do you want to buy?"

The fourth child looked at Li Chaosheng cautiously after hearing this, and Li Chaosheng said: "Thirty horses, I want to organize a cavalry platoon."

After hearing this, the old four said: "Thirty horses, yes, there is a way."

Li Chaosheng glanced at Li Chaofeng after hearing this, and Li Chaofeng also nodded, indicating that he could get it.

"Okay, then let's get on the agenda as soon as possible."

Li Chaosheng said, and the fourth brother said: "Okay, lend me a horse tomorrow, I will go to the road, and then we will agree on a place, and we will deliver the goods and pay for it."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Okay, that's hard work."

Li Chaosheng said, and the fourth child said: "What's the hard work, isn't this also a way to find a future for us?"

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded, and then said to the fourth brother: "In the past few days, you should pay attention to the officers and soldiers in the company. If you think it is okay, select them all. I will let their platoon leader release them."

After hearing this, the fourth son said: "Okay, but this needs to be tested. If you don't test it, no one knows who can be a cavalry."

"How do you measure this?"

Li Chaosheng asked, and the fourth child said, "Let's wait until the horse is bought back."

"Okay, you have the final say."

The fourth child chatted with Li Chaosheng for a while. Li Chaosheng entered the training ground. At this time, the training ground was practicing the strength of his arms. The stainless steel spear was hung with bricks. The knee didn't even bend, Li Chaosheng nodded: "That's right."

Immediately afterwards, he tried a few more, and found that the legs of these few were very strong, and the horse gait was very stable. Li Chaosheng nodded, and it seemed that there would be another group of excellent pikemen in the near future.

After the arm strength training is over, the next step is to practice the head alignment. The essentials of the pikemen are to pierce the eyebrows and pierce the heart twice, and the wall cannot leave the area of ​​the chest.

Therefore, during practice, soldiers use wooden sticks instead of spears to practice duels. One soldier uses a wooden stick to move another soldier's long stick, and the other soldier must return the long stick to the chest-pointing posture as quickly as possible.

This is to deal with enemies who use swords and can block on the battlefield. If the spearman can't aim at the enemy's vitals as quickly as possible, once the enemy blocks the spear and then gets close, the advantage of the spear will disappear and become It has become an inch long and an inch risky.

In such a narrow space, this gun is not even as good as a dagger, so when using a long gun, you must not allow people to block the gun. manifested.

Li Chaosheng reviewed the training of the soldiers. They were very good and hardworking. He followed Li Chaosheng into the kitchen. There were ten people busy in the kitchen at the moment. These were newly recruited cooking soldiers who usually only participated in queue training. This kind of fighting training is rarely practiced, because generally there is no need to go up to the cooking class to fight with one's life.

Of course, once the cooking team needs to fight their lives, the battle will be very close.

"The battalion commander is here."

At this time, sister-in-law saw Li Chaosheng saying with a smile, after hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said: "Sister-in-law, it's hard work."

After hearing this, my sister-in-law smiled and said, "What's the hard work? The men are training. I help cook some meals. It's a pity that these guys cook for me every day. I'm sorry. They give out weapons and let them also train in assassination."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng glanced at the soldiers in his cooking squad, who were a little bit anxious. At this moment, Li Chaosheng smiled and said, "You all want to participate in formal training?"

The cooking soldiers nodded. At this time, Li Chaosheng said: "Okay, I agree, but I have a request, that is, don't delay the soldiers' meals. If you can guarantee the soldiers' meals, I will approve you to participate in formal training."

"Really? Thank you Battalion Commander."

After hearing this, the cooking soldiers said excitedly, Li Chaosheng looked at the most excited cooking soldier and asked, "What's your name?"

After hearing this, Cooking Bing said, "My name is Li Delu."

"Oh, those of the German generation, you should call me Uncle."

"Hey, yes."

Li Delu said with a smile, at this time Li Chaosheng patted Li Delu on the shoulder and said: "Delu, don't underestimate the cooking class, the cooking class is the place where the king of soldiers is born, but this kind of king of soldiers is rarely met That's it."

"Uh, uncle, don't lie to me, what kind of king can we cook here?"

Li Delu looked at Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, let me tell you two examples. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a general named Cheng Yaojin. He had been in the Huotou army since the beginning. You know Cheng Yaojin."

"I've heard a little bit of the story."

Li Delu nodded, followed Li Chaosheng and said: "There is also Xue Li Xue Rengui, a general in the early Tang Dynasty, who once led the Huotou Army and did a great job. Does Xue Li Xue Rengui know?"

"I know, I know, I have heard the story of the patriarch's grandfather telling the story of three arrows fixing Tianshan Mountain."

"Hey, that's right, don't you see that these are all from the cooking class? And the cooking class can also produce strong generals here, but I'm afraid that you are not the material."

After hearing this, Li Delu was a little unconvinced: "Uncle, you underestimate people, how do you know that we are not materials?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng said: "A real cooking soldier should do the same training as the big troops, do the same amount of training without delaying cooking, they rest, you work, and when the army is carrying out long-distance training with heavy loads." , The soldiers in the cooking squad should carry iron pots and food, set off with them, and wait for them to come after cooking at the end, this is the cooking soldier.”

Li Chaosheng told Li Delu, and Li Delu blinked his eyes after hearing this: "Isn't this a bit difficult?"

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "If you're scared, you can be an ordinary cook. You just need to take part in morning exercises and prepare three meals a day, and then you can rest."

After hearing this, Li Delu said: "I want to try to be a soldier king."

"Hahaha...then you go on, I am optimistic about you."

Li Chaosheng patted Li Delu on the shoulder, there is still a dream, what if it comes true?

"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll leave if I have nothing to do. If you have any difficulties, tell me."

When Li Chaosheng said this, his sister-in-law heard this and said, "Battle Commander, there is really a small matter."

The sister-in-law heard Li Chaosheng's words and said, Li Chaosheng looked at the sister-in-law after hearing this and said, "What's the matter?"

The sister-in-law thought for a while and said: "It's about food. Now we just use a stone mill, and the food we grind is enough for more than 120 people. But in the future, if you open a primary school to manage the meals, the food we grind every day will not be enough. Why don't we speed up the stone mill and buy a donkey to pull the mill?"

Sister-in-law said to Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng nodded after hearing this and said: "This is a matter, okay, I will take care of it, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry."

Li Chaosheng said in his mind, now that the military camp has been powered on, the efficiency of this stone mill is too low. If you have time, you can sell a corn grinder. The efficiency of that thing is dozens or hundreds of times that of a stone mill.

Li Chaosheng came out of the cooking class, returned to his room, opened the time-space door and stepped in, returning to the modern world.

Li Chaosheng changed his clothes, and then called Manager Cao to inquire about the operation of the prop company. Manager Cao said that everything was going well, and Manager Cao also got in touch with some small crews and got some small batches. props orders.

Li Chaosheng praised him, and the company's development should not only be pointed at himself, otherwise the year-end financial statements will be very ugly.Li Chaosheng hung up the phone thinking about it, and drove out. This time, Li Chaosheng's target was an advertising company that made plaques. Soon he drove to the city and found a shop with Xintu Online Advertising Co., Ltd. hanging on it.

There are billboards outside the company, and we undertake all kinds of signboards, plaques, printing, business cards, leaflets, banners, ID card copying 2 yuan...

Li Chaosheng took a look, yes, this is it, said Li Chaosheng parked the car, came to the door, opened the door and entered, there were three or four people in the room, sitting in front of the computer, doing photo editing and computer typesetting At work, Li Chaosheng came in. A short-haired woman looked up at Li Chaosheng and said, "Do you need anything, sir? Print a business card or copy an ID card?"
