Lord of Rot

Chapter 242 Establishment of the Cavalry

The sound of passionate horseshoes came from the castle, as well as people's exclamations.

Then Li Qi heard the sound of hurried running.

He put down the cup of hot milk in his hand and looked towards the door.

I saw the weather-stained Crowe Camel running in. I haven't seen him for a while. Crowe's skin became a little darker, but Li Qi was sure that it was the same Crowe. The long journey did not change his temperament: "My lord, I'm back! Fulfilling my mission!"

The horse is back!
Li Qi put down his cup and stood up happily.

Unexpectedly, Crowe actually brought the horse back this year.

Li Qi said: "Thanks for your hard work, Crowe! I guess your experience on the road must be very interesting."

Crowe smiled: "But it's definitely not as good as you."

This year, there have been three major incidents in the entire East Gorge. One is that the illegitimate son of Shuijiandi mobilized tens of thousands of rebels to attack Longboat Fort.

One is that a black king suddenly came to Iron Valley and wanted to overthrow the rule of Boer II.

Another thing is that the lady of the Leopold family was robbed, but Baron Porcupine led the team to turn the tide.

Two of them are related to Li Qi.

"I would rather those things have nothing to do with me." Li Qi said, "A quiet life is more suitable for me."

They chatted and came to the castle yard.

Dozens of horses with bright fur and hair are led by horse dealers.

"A total of 54 good horses." Crowe Camel introduced beside Li Qi: "Among them are 50 fast horses, 4 are desert horses, and among the desert horses are 1 stallion and the other 3 are mares."

"Very good." Li Qi nodded in satisfaction.

Li Qi walked up to the desert horses and looked at them. These three mares were Rocket's future wife.

Stallions will be more expensive and difficult to buy.

Li Qi intends to use desert horses to improve the breed. All he needs is light cavalry, such as assault heavy cavalry. Currently, the cost is too high, not only the price is high, but the training cost is also high.

Of course, if we only talk about power, as long as Li Qi can cultivate 5000 cavalry, he can directly sweep the entire Lurea continent, and there is no need to worry about whether the enemy has so many extraordinary people.

Under the iron hoof, all beings are equal.

Of course, this is just a thought.

How much does it cost to pack 5000 pieces without fighting for a day?

If a person eats a horse's chew, it will kill him.

"Take the horse to the racecourse first." Li Qi ordered: "By the way, send someone to tell Sir Quickblade that the cavalry will be selected this afternoon."

Good news is like a gust of wind.

The porcupine soldiers learned that the selection of cavalry was finally started today, and they were all eager to try.

Long before this, the lord often used the choice of cavalry to beat people, and one hit a hundred.

I was beaten every time, and I didn't have a chance to become a cavalry. Now I finally see the benefits.

50 fast horses, probably with 30 cavalry,
When the soldiers came to the racecourse, they saw the eagle following the baron almost at the first sight.

After this period of growth, Junying Rocket has grown in size a lot.According to Li Qi's vision, it won't be long before he can ride a rocket into the sky.

There are more than 50 horse cousins ​​who are new to the racecourse, Rocket's little expression is full of curiosity.

Eagle kept tilting his head to look at him.

As for Li Qi's strong-maned horse, Rocket's uncle, he dismissed those fast horses. His noble bloodline made him only care about the desert horses.

Li Qi grabbed a piece of meat with thick fingers and threw it into the sky. With his arm strength, the thrown piece of meat could fly at least several floors high.

"Cuckoo!" The rocket spread its wings, whipped up a strong wind, rushed into the sky and bit the meat strip.

Wings spread, gliding and landing.

After the soles of the feet hit the ground, Rocket raised his head and swallowed the strip of meat into his mouth, then went to Li Qi's side with a "cuckoo" cry, and circled around him.

The soldiers who saw this scene were amazed.

Although rockets have often been seen flying over the porcupine collar recently, and everyone knows that this is the mount of the lord, but it is the first time that such a close contact like today.

They have not forgotten that their goal today is to become a cavalryman.

Pegasus belongs to an adult, so I can't ride it by myself, but it should be fine to ride a fine horse.

The selection training was completely conducted by Li Qi alone.

Because being on the field means that he has a wealth of cavalry experience.

"My lord seems to know everything."

Quick Blade didn't know that Li Qi could train cavalry, and there wasn't a single outstanding cavalry in Porcupine Collar.

There was a swordsmanship teacher Warg Killer before, and the opponent's equestrian skills were not very good, so the origin of Baron Li Qi's superb skills can only be attributed to the identity of the magic scroll.

God's favored one, if it weren't for God, how could he know so much!

The entire selection and training process was very fast.

And there is the help of Beast Whisperer Pitts on the side.

Which horse is in what condition, who does it prefer to partner with, and so on.

The inspector can be said to be not only Li Qi, but also every horse present.

A total of 30 cavalry were selected this time.

The Porcupine Cavalry was formally formed.

In the next few days, Li Qi put down all his work and made a special trip to the racecourse to watch the cavalry training.

Unexpectedly, Joel's performance was not bad. After being revoked as a knight squire, Joel became more calm. He worked very hard in training, and Li Qi gave him the status of cavalry captain.

After the training was on track, what Li Qi had to consider was cavalry equipment.

The equipment of cavalry on horseback is definitely different from that of infantry, and what he wants is light cavalry with flexibility and survival.

Blacksmith factory.

"Light cavalry usually wear leather armor, my lord." A blacksmith said in front of Rich.

They are conceiving together about the equipment of the porcupine cavalry.

Because the main weapon used by this cavalry team in the future is muskets, and there will also be swords but not charges.

Mainly roaming, harassing and chasing.

Therefore, the weapons on his body cannot be a bulky full set.

"No, the defensive power of the leather armor is too low." Li Qi shook his head and rejected the proposal: "At least the torso and head of the cavalry must be protected."

"Then remove part of the armor, and only keep the breastplate and helmet?" The blacksmith said, "For example, the arms and legs can be replaced with light leather armor, and the removed part will not be wasted. New armor."

It sounds very cost-effective.

Li Qi nodded: "Alright, let's try to modify the armor of these 30 people first."

It's just that dismantling the armor of the arms and legs is not too troublesome. A group of blacksmiths did it themselves and quickly dismantled 30 sets.

After the cavalry got their armor, they mounted their horses and began to train in the horse farm.

It really doesn't matter much.

All problems are solved, only hard training is left.

Just when Li Qi was temporarily busy with the cavalry, another piece of good news came. Recently, the number of muskets he requested to produce was sufficient.

There are dozens of them, probably two or three soldiers can use one.

When the output increases in the future, it can be achieved that one person has one, or even one person has two.

The stock is made of wood, and the barrel made of two layers of iron sheets is engraved with rifling.

The overall workmanship is excellent, so that Li Qi can't see that it is made by hammering, as if it is manufactured by machine.

Traces after forging are also barely visible.

They were all made after research by Betty and the blacksmiths.

With the cavalry, musket training should be on the agenda.
