At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 190
As Qin Qiong said, it is still possible for a team of more than 2000 people to cobble together a cavalry of 300 people. In fact, more than 500 horses in the team now have people riding them. Of course, these people are still far away. Not qualified cavalry, truly qualified cavalry must go through a long period of rigorous training.

However, among the [-] improvised "cavalry", there are also good foundations. After Qin Qiong's careful screening, a hundred cavalry elites were finally selected. Of course, the so-called elites are only relatively speaking, and they are still not qualified. cavalry.

In Qin Qiong's eyes, the minimum standard for a cavalry is to be able to swing a weapon on a fast-moving horse and cut people down. Use your arms and fingers, and you have to shoot the target with a bow on the back of a galloping horse.

The [-] elites selected by Qin Qiong can barely meet the minimum standard of cavalry, which is to slash and kill with a knife on the back of a moving horse. As for the remaining [-] "cavalry", it is difficult to describe them. That's all.

Of course, being able to ride a horse is also good, at least it can increase the speed of marching.In fact, with this more than 500 horsepower, the entire team's progress was not a little bit faster, and the distance covered in half a day was almost equal to the previous day.

It was afternoon, the summer sun was like fire, and the team was still rushing all the way south, even the people on horseback were sweating profusely.Liu Gou'er wiped off the bean-sized beads of sweat on his forehead, looked at Gao Bufan who was calm and composed in front of him with admiration, and said inwardly, "Master Bufan is really extraordinary, everyone is hot like a dog, but he doesn't sweat a single drop." , the clothes are not stained with dust, it's weird."

In fact, Neijia Kungfu has been practiced to such a high level, the breath is long and introverted, and the body's self-regulation ability is far beyond the reach of human beings. Naturally, it will not sweat easily, and it is more frost-resistant than ordinary people. To put it another way, it is cold and heat. Of course, this is a relative term. Even if it is a little better than ordinary people, it is still a body of flesh and blood. If it is thrown into the fire, it will also be burned to death, and if it is buried in the snow, it will also be frozen to death.

"Master Bufan, let's keep going south. Where are we going? Are we planning to capture Pyongyang, the capital of Goguryeo?" Liu Gou'er asked, this kid dared to think even more than Gao Bufan.

Dou Xianniang also looked at Brother Gao curiously. Out of trust in Brother Gao, Xiao Nizi didn't ask questions all the way.

Gao Bufan asked back: "Gou'er, have you heard the story of the opposite?"

Liu Gou'er said with a sneer: "I haven't heard of it, Master Bufan tell me about it."

Dou Xianniang said happily, "I've heard of it."

Gao Bufan smiled: "Young lady Xian, please tell the dog."

Under Gao Bufan's encouraging gaze, Dou Xianniang cleared her throat and said, "The fable of the opposite is probably like this: During the Warring States period, a man was driving on the Taihang Road in a carriage, and he met a fellow traveler on the road, so he chatted Get up. When the fellow travelers learned that this person was going to Chu State, they couldn't help being surprised and asked: "Chu State is in the south, why are you running to the north? "

The man replied calmly: "It's okay, my horse runs fast, so I don't have to worry about not being able to reach Chu."

A fellow traveler reminded: "If you go this way, you will only get farther and farther away from Chu."

The man pointed to his luggage and said, "I've brought a lot of dry food and enough travel expenses. It doesn't matter if the distance is far."

The fellow traveler said anxiously: "You are going the wrong way, and you will not be able to reach Chu State like this."

The man said confidently again: "My coachman has excellent driving skills, don't worry."

The fellow travelers could only helplessly shake their heads and sigh. "

After finishing speaking, Dou Xianniang asked with a sweet smile, "Brother Gao, is this the case with the opposite story?"

Gao Bufan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xian Niang speaks very well, dare to love my Xian Niang can not only write and count, but also knowledgeable and well-informed."

Immediately, Dou Xianniang's cheeks fluttered, and she made a playful grimace towards Gao Bufan, her heart was sweeter than eating honey.

Liu Gou'er's head was full of black lines and said: "That man is not a fool, is he?"

Gao Bufan laughed and said, "I don't know if he is a fool, but we are doing the same thing as him now."

Dou Xianniang couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression when she heard the words, Liu Gou'er rubbed her nose, and said embarrassingly, "Master Bufan is implying that we are all fools?"

Dou Xianniang almost fell over and spat: "You are the fool, silly dog!"

Gao Bufan laughed: "The man in the fable is really going the other way, but we are deliberately going the other way. In terms of the art of war, we're just shouting at each other. Do you understand?"

Dou Xianniang's bright eyes lit up, and Liu Gou'er was enlightened immediately, almost jumped up, and blurted out: "I understand, Master Bufan led everyone to the south, it was just an illusion to confuse the enemy, but in reality he wanted to Go north."

Fortunately, the child is still saved, Gao Bufan gave a thumbs up without hesitation, and Liu Gou'er suddenly became flustered, and said with a smirk: "But Master Bufan, we are really going south now, you just What's the use of thinking about going north?"

Well, it's hopeless, after talking so much, I'm still playing the piano!
……

Zuben City is a small city, located more than 300 miles south of Liaodong City. Just as Gao Bufan and others were walking southward at a leisurely pace, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin had already led a hundred "elite" cavalry to kill the pawns. The city is down.

This small city has no moat, the city walls are relatively low, and there is no defense. When Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin led a hundred horsemen to the front of the city gate, the Goguryeo soldiers guarding the city reacted and tried to block the city gate. It was closed, but just halfway through it, a wave of arrows rained over. Although the accuracy was not good, it was better because of the dense density. It still took away half of the dozen or so Goguryeo soldiers guarding the city gate, and the remaining half was shot again in a blink of an eye. The cavalry who broke through the door were knocked into the air and trampled to death.

When two Sui cavalrymen rushed through the city gate, they ignited two water bags, and then smashed them on the two city gates with two bangs. The door was directly ignited, and a raging fire quickly burned.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin led a hundred cavalry into the city, and they rushed like a tiger descending a mountain, frightening the pedestrians all over the street, running for their lives with their heads in their hands crying for their parents.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin naturally disdained to massacre unarmed civilians, so they went straight to the government offices in the city. Those Sui cavalrymen threw lighted water bags to the buildings on both sides of the street from time to time. It was as if the god of fire had descended into the world, and everywhere he passed was full of flames...

About half an hour later, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin led the cavalry to charge out from another city gate. Looking back, the whole city was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames. Flee outside the city.

"Haha, oil is so easy to use." Luo Shixin laughed loudly.

Qin Qiong said lightly: "Let's go, we have to go to the next stop, don't waste time."

The sound of rumbling horseshoes turned to the west, it really came and went in a hurry!
