The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 566

Of the 18 troops led by Yang Qingyuan, there were [-] light and heavy cavalry, [-] elite Xuanjia soldiers, and the rest were light and heavy infantry.

However, the infantry of the Tiance Army are not the infantry of the Shenwu Army. The infantry of the Tiance Army are used to ride horses instead of transportation!
In order to fight against the prairie dynasty, cavalry is an indispensable force.With cavalry, the Central Plains Dynasty had the power to fight back, otherwise it would have to be beaten passively. The former Song Dynasty is the best example.

To form a large-scale cavalry, war horses are not one of the most important strategic resources.

The horse farms in the north, south, east, west, and east of the Great Zhou Dynasty were created by the imperial court to invest special funds in specific spaces to plan horse breeds, breed and raise horses, and then allocate them to soldiers of various armies according to the procedures of the Ministry of War.

The horse farm has been managed by a full-time organization in all dynasties, and the ranks of its chiefs are not low.

For example, Emperor Jing of the former Han Dynasty began to build garden horses for widespread use. "There are 36 gardens, distributed in the north and west.With Lang as the court supervisor, 3 officials and servants, and 30 horses. "

It is also because the imperial court attaches great importance to it and manages it properly, so Yuanma develops rapidly.

This is the reason why Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty was able to form a large-scale cavalry corps and conquer the Huns.

Marshal Wei Huo was also born just at the right time. If he had been born 30 years earlier, even if Emperor Jing had sold the Ganquan Palace, Changle Palace, and Weiyang Palace, he would not be able to afford them to fight.

The horse administration of the Great Zhou Dynasty is also an extremely important part. There has always been the supervisor of the Taipu Temple and the Ministry of War. For example, the current Bingzhou Racecourse is also supervised by Chen Nayan, a top ten in the second list of Yong'an in 13 years.

It can be seen that the imperial court attached great importance to Ma Zheng.

Moreover, the breeds of war horses in various racecourses in Dazhou are not the same. For example, in the racecourse of the Tiance Army, the warhorses are a mixed breed of prairie horses and Central Plains chasing horses.

Not all horses can be used as war horses.

War horses require strong bones, thick muscles, and a thick trunk.

The horses used in riding and fighting pursue the explosive power of sprinting, and have higher requirements for short- and medium-distance sprints, but in terms of short-distance speed standards, there are also certain requirements for endurance.

That's why all regions in Dazhou will breed their own horse breeds.

For example, the prairie Qiji horse is tall and has excellent resistance to cold and hunger, while the chasing horse is good at short-distance sprints and has excellent explosive power.

From the hybrid of the two, it is possible to cultivate a war horse with both strength and speed.

But it is not enough to just choose a horse breed, it is also necessary to choose the temperament of the horse itself.

Temperament is a manifestation of a horse's sensitivity to its surroundings and external things to its spirit, and it is also called the Huwei of a horse in horse breeding.

Because horses have different types of neural activity, Huwee behaves differently.It is usually divided into the following categories: fierce, upper, middle, and lower.

This fierce power is not the higher the better, the nervous activity of the fierce war horse is strong and unbalanced.Strong reaction to external stimuli, easy to be excited and irritable, difficult to control and manage.

This kind of horse is generally not used as a war horse.

The real high-quality war horses are better at the above and medium.

After selecting the horses, the horses need to be trained.

It is required that the war horse can obey the command, can not only run and jump, but also be able to prohibit orders.The second is to require the war horse to be sensitive and able to remain calm and not frightened in any environment.

All horses with bad temperament, unresponsiveness and weak constitution will be eliminated.After the war horses join the army, they need to be arranged in a team with similar speed and physical strength, so as not to affect the consistency of combat.

Among the Bingzhou pastures in Dazhou, only three to four out of ten horses produced each year can be used as war horses.

The second-class war horses were used as mounts for infantry to speed up the mobility of soldiers and horses, and the last remaining poor horses could be traded for civilian use.

Therefore, although Yang Qingyuan's 18 army has infantry, it is already extremely mobile.

This is one of the reasons why Yang Qingyuan dared to outflank him in depth.

Another reason is that Yang Qingyuan believed in Yu Yanyi's ability.

This Great Zhou's minister of war, a bachelor of the Hall of Martial Arts, will definitely be able to defend Jinyang City and buy him the time and opportunity to cover it.

"Yanmen County is ahead!" Yang Qingyuan looked at the detailed map in his hand, and frowned slightly. Along the way, he used light cavalry to clear the way and wiped out all the enemies he encountered, just to hide his whereabouts.

If the Mohe army knew the news of his detour to the south for a day, the chances of winning the battle would be one point higher.

Hou Jin is not Da Zhou, he has a complete intelligence system.

As long as Houjin's rangers can be guaranteed to be wiped out, the whereabouts of the army will not be known to others.

"General Vanguard, is there any reward?!"

"Back to Lord Hou, the Tabai Battalion under General Yaoyao has not sent back any news for a day."

The words of the soldiers made Yang Qingyuan a little worried: Guoer is the vanguard of the army, and what I asked for was a daily report. Now there has been no news for a day, will something happen!
After proper teaching, Yang Guo's former extreme and stubbornness have been restrained a lot. The previous battle in the northern border and the baptism between life and death have made this famous general grow up rapidly in the future.

It's also the same, Yang Qingyuan dared to entrust Yang Guo with the vanguard mission.

"Let the scouts strictly investigate the movement in the direction of Yanmen! If there is a change in one day, report it immediately!"

"promise!"

Yang Qingyuan's eyes fell on the map again.

Come on, what the hell are you doing? !
-
"Wow, wow Jiku, haha!"

At this moment, dozens of cavalrymen in Mohe leather armor are undergoing inspection at the Yanmen Pass.

"You guys have worked hard! Which prince are you under!"

The cavalry commander who was inspected had a very pure accent, with strong Jianzhou characteristics.

"We are under the command of Lord Heshi Lie Zhining."

The centurion in charge of inspection replied casually.

The cavalry commander was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Isn't this a coincidence?! My own people! We are the Rangers under the command of General Wanyan Chen!"

Heshi Lie Zhining and Monk Wanyan Chen are both under Wanyan Zongbi's command, so they can be regarded as members of the same department.

The centurion also got a little closer when he heard the words.

Although they are all Mohe's troops, there are also close ties among the factions.

Now that Nurhachi holds great power and the Gustong Mohe tribe is gaining power, the orthodox Heishui Mohe is not welcomed.

That's why part of the army under Heshi Lie Zhining's command was used to guard Yanmen.

"Are you here on business in Yanmen!?"

The cavalry commander scratched his head when he heard the words, looking embarrassed.

"Don't mention it, I was actually ordered to patrol, but I lost my way. I didn't see any place to grab food along the way. Seeing that the food was about to run out, I came here to try my luck."

While speaking, the cavalry commander patted the bag next to the saddle.

It was a bag commonly used by Mohe cavalry to hold dried meat.

These centurions were completely relieved, "Hahahaha! It's embarrassing to say it, the rangers under the command of the dignified Monk Chen have lost their way!"

The Mohe cavalry who were in charge of inspection at the city gate also burst into laughter.

The commander of the cavalry also smiled awkwardly.

"Okay! My own person, I will take too much trouble. When I enter the city, I will go directly to the camp in the north of the city. You are a member of General Chen Monk. You can eat and drink well, and you can take care of it!"

The commander of the cavalry asked a lot, "What if it's King Qing's man?!"

"Hmph!? Those ancient stone pigs——piss, I am! They still want to eat and drink!"

An imperceptible strangeness flashed in the eyes of the cavalry commander upon hearing this.

"Brothers have worked hard, I will enter the city!"

The centurion waved his hand, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll come and drink with you!"

The commander of the cavalry was none other than Yang Guo who pretended to be a Mohe soldier.

Yang Guo is extremely gifted in language, he can speak Mohe immediately after he learns it, and he also has a wealth of experience in undercover work. He was once in the army of the Ogodei Khanate, and he was promoted to the rank of personal guard in just a few days. The position of deputy commander.

When he saw Yanmen County, Yang Guo thought of a way to detour to the south and cooperate with the inside and the outside.

He selected soldiers who could speak the Mohe language, changed the leather armor and harness of the Mohe cavalry, and deliberately entered the city from the south to confuse the Mohe soldiers guarding the city.

Sure enough, the centurion of Mohe, who was in charge of inspecting the city gate, let them enter the city without careful inspection.

"General! What should I do next?!"

"First go to the Mohe military camp to eat and drink enough. When the night falls, we will kill the enemy, open the city gate, and enlarge the army to enter the city."

Yang Guo seemed very calm, the first time he was raw, the second time he was acquainted.

This is not the first time he has been undercover!

Soon Yang Guo and his party came to the camp north of Yanmen County.

In the big camp, a fire is being lit for cooking, and mutton soup is being cooked.

On weekdays, of course, they are not willing to eat sheep. There is no need to work hard to build a state. Cattle and sheep are extremely precious things.

The cattle and sheep that are cooked now are all plundered from the people of Yanmen, so they naturally don't feel sorry for them when they eat them.

Immediately, Yang Guo and his party also mixed into the camp and started eating.

Eating while waiting for the sky to darken.

In the camp of Mohe.

"What?! Rangers under the command of General Chen Monk?! How did they come to Yanmen?"

The chief general of Mohe in Yanmen County was puzzled by the words.

"They are the rangers of General Chen Monk. They were originally in charge of patrolling, but because they were not familiar with the terrain, they lost their way and came to Yanmen after eating dried meat!"

Lord General Mohe nodded, this is indeed a common occurrence.

In the ancient march, only the map and Sinan cooperated.

Dazhou is better, the map is detailed, and Sinan is accurate.

Hou Jin's navigation tool is not simple enough to describe, it is simply horrible.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for soldiers to get lost in the post-Jin army, and it is not new.

"I see! Since they are General Chen Monk's subordinates, they can be regarded as their own. Treat them well with delicious food and drink!"

"..."
-
Night fell.

Summer nights always come later!
But Yang Guo didn't feel anxious at all, he didn't start to act until it was completely dark.

In the name of patrolling, Yang Guo led his troops out of the Mohe camp, with horses' hoofs and men's heads, and quietly came to the gate of the city.

"Wait, I will deal with the Mohe soldiers in charge of the city gate as quickly as possible, and then the first team will lower the suspension bridge as quickly as possible to lead the army into the city! The second team will immediately kill the city tower, and in the shortest possible time , Clear out the enemies on the city tower!"

"No!" Everyone responded softly.

After assigning the task, Yang Guo quietly sneaked over with a big gun and a dagger in his hand.

For a covert attack like this, a big spear is not as good as a short sword.

Although Yang Guo is most proficient in marksmanship, he also has good attainments in swordsmanship.

The three masters of Dali Temple all use swords, and Yang Guo's swordsmanship is also extraordinary under the influence of his ears and eyes.

"boom!"

"boom!"

With two soft sounds, Yang Guo quietly cut the throats of the two Mohe guards.

The thirteen swords of Qingfeng, the wind passes without trace.

Yang Guo's skills were still far behind, but to kill a few Mohe soldiers, it was still a small test.

Following the same pattern, Yang Guo dispatched [-] Mohe sergeants in a row and arrived at the gate of the city.

At this moment, he could already hear the breathing of Mohe soldiers above the city wall.

As expected of the elite soldiers under Heshi Lie Zhining's command, they are still very energetic at this time, and there is no sign of sleepiness at all!

Yang Guo then waved his hand back, and the elite soldiers under his command also touched under the city wall one after another.

"Wow!"

Just when Yang Guo and the others were about to make a move, suddenly countless Mohe soldiers stood up on the city wall, holding torches, scimitars, bows and arrows, under the light of the fire, there was a slight chill.

"Thief, I have been waiting here for a long time!"

The chief general of Yanmen Mohe shot a loud arrow towards the sky from the top of the city tower, and people came from all directions with shouts of killing.

The Mohe soldiers and horses of the brigade surrounded Yang Guo.

Yang Guo threw away the dagger in his hand, and asked puzzledly.

"How did you find out who I am!?"

General Mohe was overjoyed when he heard the words, he had been waiting for Yang Guo to ask this question, and had already typed out the manuscript several times.

Seeing that Yang Guo was so knowledgeable, the general decided not to kill this person this time!
"Hahaha! Your disguise is very clever, but you met this general!"

Lord General Mohe smiled proudly, "Although I am a post-Golden man, I am familiar with the anthology of your Zhou people's Bao Gong's investigations, and I have memorized the story of Dali Temple Minister Yang Qingyuan's cracking of strange cases by heart. How can you use such tricks? Keep it out of my eyes!"

"..."

Yang Guo couldn't complain, he didn't expect Master to have such fanatical fans in Houjin.

"I asked the people under my command to check your leather armor, accent and voice, and weapons and bows. They are indeed my Mohe standard weapons. I didn't find any problems at first. I didn't find your flaws until I went to the stables. !"

"The stables?! What's wrong with our horses!? The harnesses used are yours!"

Yang Guo was even more puzzled, he didn't expect that the chief general of Mohe would be able to find the problem from the subtleties, and he is also a prodigy in criminal investigation.

"I found out that although your horses are all war horses of our Mohe tribe, the horseshoes used by the horses are all Zhou people's suits, so I can assert that you are definitely not under the command of General Wanyan Chen."

……

Yang Guo fell into a brief silence, then sighed quietly, "Don't you know?! The fine cavalry under the command of Monk Wanyan Chen all use the horseshoes smuggled out from the Great Zhou, so the suits and colors are all from the Great Zhou cavalry. Old fashioned suits..."

"Ah, this..." At this moment, the chief general Mohe was also silent.

So this guy is just lucky. There is no careful reasoning when a blind cat meets a dead mouse!I didn't reveal any obvious flaws...

This is just that I am on the third floor, and this product is the first time. No prediction is the best prediction.

After a long silence, the chief general Mohe of Yanmen became angry and ashamed.

"Kill them all!"
