Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 863: People are like tigers, horses are like dragons!
The wind became more and more biting, and there were roaring dragons and tigers roaring in it.

Feeling that the ground beneath his feet was shaking so much that even some small stones began to jump and roll, Shang Ruyi opened his eyes wide and watched the dark clouds in front of him getting closer and closer, finally stopping just a shot away from them. , only the neighing of strong horses could be heard, resounding throughout the wilderness!
That was actually a group of cavalry wearing dark black armor!

Looking more closely, these soldiers are tall and strong, wearing heavy black armor, and each one is like an iron tower on horseback; and those horses are obviously carefully selected horses, fat and strong, The roar was like a dragon, and the horse was actually covered with iron armor, blending in with the soldiers on the horse. It looked indestructible and indestructible at first glance!
After the team stopped, the whole team seemed to be at a standstill. No one moved, and even the horses did not move a step forward. It was obvious that they were a well-trained team. However, even if they were motionless, there seemed to be an evil spirit that could almost turn into reality emanating from their bodies, following the wind, constantly rushing towards them!
People are like tigers, horses are like dragons!
At this moment, Yuanzi, who was behind Shang Ruyi, widened his eyes and suddenly cried "Wow".

As soon as he heard the child's cry, Shang Ruyi recovered from the shock and hurriedly looked back. The child was holding his mouth and tears were dripping down. His face was red with grievance. Tushe Er hurriedly hugged the baby and turned his back to the team in front, not to let the biting wind blow on the child's face.

Yu Wenye glanced at the child from the side, smiled lightly and said, "He's still young after all."

Indeed, it is quite a test for such a young child to take him out and listen to the noise around him. Facing such a murderous team, not to mention such a young child, even adults will be frightened. .

Shang Ruyi felt distressed and excited at the same time, so she asked Tu She'er to hold the child and take a few steps back. You She'er coaxed her with soft words, and after a few moments, Yuan Zi's cries subsided.

Looking back at the team in front, a familiar feeling came to my mind.

Shang Ruyi remembered that not long after she married Yu Wenye, when she followed Yuwen's family back to Luoyang from Taiyuan, she encountered Wang Shaoji, the then General of Youtun Guard, leading his black armored army to block the way. The momentum is very similar.

But, there seems to be something different.

This kind of well-trained training does not seem to be achieved by Wang Shaoji's previous men and horses, and the armor of this team seems to be different from theirs, and somewhat similar to what they saw on the grassland before, Ashi The heavy armored cavalry led by Zhu Xie.

While Shang Ruyi was watching, Yu Wenye waved to the team, and then a cavalryman at the forefront of the team dismounted and walked towards them.

That was actually Mu Xian.

He didn't walk fast, not because he was lazy, but because he was heavily armored, which made it inconvenient to move. It wasn't until he got closer that Shang Ruyi saw that the black armor on his body was actually full iron armor!
Mu Xian came forward and was about to bow down to them. Yu Wenye raised his hand and said, "You are wearing armor, so there is no need to salute."

Mu Xian then cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to His Highness the King of Qin. Farewell to the Princess. Farewell to Your Highness the Younger Highness."

Shang Ruyi looked Mu Xian up and down and said with a smile: "Mr. Mu, you are so majestic!"

Mu Xian smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, but he immediately said: "The princess is making fun of you."

Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "What kind of teasing is this? I am here today to experience your majesty. Quick, bring your horse and show me!"

Mu Xian waved behind him, and someone led his horse over. Shang Ruyi walked around the horse, which was nearly twice as tall as her, snorting and as strong as a wall. , looked back at Mu Xian, and exclaimed: "Incredible, incredible."

Yu Wenye pursed his lips and smiled lightly. Although the smile was light, there was still a trace of undisguised pride in his eyes.

Of course he understands that Shang Ruyi is a knowledgeable person.

Although Wang Shaoji's black armored army was also fully armored, most of them were leather armor and did not have such thick iron armor. Ashina Zhu Xie's heavy armored cavalry were armored, but the iron armor on the horses was not like this. , wrapped so completely, the man and horse are integrated, like a whole armored chariot. Such heavy armored cavalry is on the battlefield, as long as it is well trained and formed into a formation, it is almost indestructible. However, everything has pros and cons.

It was not that Wang Shaoji was unwilling to put iron armor on his cavalry, and Ashina Zhuxie was not unwilling to put heavy armor on the horses. There was only one reason - money.

Raising cavalry cost several times more money than infantry. Looking at Mu Xian's armor, it was obviously expensive. And these horses only consume a lot of fodder every day. After wearing heavy armor, it takes more physical strength and also They need refined food to feed them. Calculating this, the money required to build this team is at least five times, or even ten times, that of an ordinary cavalry team of the same size!
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but ask, "How much did you spend?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenye's face darkened slightly, but before he could say anything, Mu Xian, who was standing beside him, laughed and said: "The house of King Qin is indeed the housekeeper of the princess. As soon as he saw this, he asked about the money first. "

Yu Wenye said: "Don't worry, your money hasn't been touched yet."

Shang Ruyi was rich. Not only was her dowry astonishing, but after they got married, especially after giving birth to Yuanzi, the rewards Yu Wenyuan gave her amounted to thousands of gold. Even if she ran a school in the city and tried every means to support some students, those The expense was but a drop in the bucket of her fortune.

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi smiled: "That's good, I'm afraid that Yuanzi and I will eat chaffy vegetables."

Yu Wenye glared at her.

Shang Ruyi smiled and walked a few steps forward. Looking at the stationary but murderous cavalry in front of him, he asked, "So, you have been running to the military camp these days just to train this cavalry?"

"Ah."

"Where do people and horses come from?"

"The men are strong men recruited, and they must have some martial arts skills before joining the army; the horses are Dawan horses bought from merchants in the Western Regions, and they are fed with fine feed."

As he spoke, Yu Wenye himself walked up to the horse, stretched out his hand to stroke the horse's mane, which was like a steel needle, and said: "If this team can gather enough numbers, once they go into battle, they will be invincible!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi raised his eyebrows and looked at the team in front: "How many people are there now?"

"There were just 1,200 people."

"How many people do you need?"

"At least three thousand."

"..."

At this time, Shang Ruyi somewhat understood why Yu Wenye was so willing to bring her to the military camp this time.
