Starting from blacksmithing, riding and chopping Europe

Chapter 69 Ice Gorge Blitz ([-])

"Do you really do it?"

"of course."

"But, I don't have experience yet."

"There has to be a first time for everything, don't worry, I will be very gentle."

Feng Daofu, who had already arranged chores, went back to the stable and stretched out his hand to comfort the beautiful black horse.

Brunhilde said dumbfoundedly: "The blond king is not willing to ride on the battlefield."

"He bought it at a huge price, of course he is reluctant."

Feng Daofu said straightforwardly: "I didn't spend any money, and it doesn't hurt to ride someone else's mare."

As soon as this violent argument came out, Brünnhilde felt that it made sense, but also felt that something was wrong.

The silver-haired girl who only focused on what she was good at was in a trance.

It was Ava who was ready to move.

She was forced to leave her hometown because of the blond king, and she began to collect interest from riding a horse in Oslo!

"be careful."

Feng Daofu said, and took out the magical fingers of the housekeeper of the erect ape: "From now on, I will call you Black Pearl."

This docile black beauty almost rolled his eyes after being touched, his small ears were completely relaxed, and his lower lip was also relaxed, showing that he was completely unguarded.

Feng Daofu took back his hand, and Black Pearl even asked to touch it.

Not to mention the little mare, humans can't refuse.

With one move of your finger, you can show off the saint's demeanor of killing both humans and animals!
Speaking of it, simple, cute, will act like a spoiled child, very rua, this is much cuter than some groups.
"Can I ride now?"

The favorability was about the same, and Feng Daofu asked the horse breeding professionals for their opinions.

He has a lot of riding experience, but after all, he is not familiar with Black Pearl. When it is time to ask for advice humbly, Feng Daofu will never save face and suffer.

To learn shooting, you must first learn the safety rules, and to learn riding skills, you must first learn the safety rules to ensure that you will not be injured.

Although horses are smart, they are also animals. Their brain structures are different from those of humans, and they do not have the same thinking and reasoning abilities as humans.

And horses are much bigger and stronger than humans, and they are very stress-prone.

As a prey animal, it is born with the instinct to escape. When encountering any stimulus, it will react instinctively, such as jumping the horse. The more experienced the rider, the more careful he will be when he is not familiar with the horse.

"Our job is to use the horse's psychology to guide the horse to understand the trainer's goal."

Horse breeders say: “Horses are social animals and, if handled correctly, can learn to follow and respect human leaders and learn to rely on humans to determine appropriate responses to new stimuli rather than reacting solely on instinct.”

"So a young horse is easier to train than an older horse."

"Black Pearl started training from the foal."

"It has already submitted to you and is ready to ride on."

The horse breeder was also very surprised when he observed this.

Although she is a docile mare, due to her size, Black Pearl is the leader of the herd.

Horse herds usually march in rank order once they have established a dominance hierarchy.

Because it is an animal relationship, this hierarchical order is different from that of humans, and it is very confusing.

For example, horse A may be more dominant than horse B, and horse B may be more dominant than horse C, but horse C may also be more dominant than horse A, which is not a stable equation of A>B>C.

Classes are therefore variable throughout the life of a herd or individual.

However, generally speaking, in the wild horse herd, the highest status is usually an older mare.

She leads all the horses and decides whether to eat, move forward, stop, rest, etc.

The environment in the stable was different from that in the wild, but Black Pearl still relied on his ability to become the leader.

But, Black Pearl used to be indifferent to her, but now she was impressed so quickly and showed such an expression.
The horse breeder's mood was very complicated for a while.

Feng Daofu was not in the mood to control their thoughts, and started riding excitedly.

He could feel that Black Pearl didn't have much experience and was a bit jerky.

But this mare is really smart, and it doesn't take a while to know which position to use to cooperate.

According to the horse breeders, it should be the experience imparted by previous mares.

Vondorff controlled the rhythm and kept a slow pace, with a natural and unrestrained feeling. Later, he led Brunhilde and others to ride in pairs one by one.

Shaking around, enjoying the leisure time after victory.

After riding for a while, Feng Daofu led Black Pearl back to the stable, fed the horse concentrate himself, and then asked the horse breeder to check it.

The horse breeder was shocked again: "The condition is very good, even better than before!"

Could it be possible that being ridden by this lord can still rejuvenate?
Horse breeders cannot understand this kind of thing.

Feng Daofu was satisfied and somewhat regretful.

For percentage bonuses like expertise, the more powerful the horse, the more obvious the effect.

With Black Pearl, Da Ya is about to retire.

After the weather warmed up, he also started to feel in the mood to have a baby. Now he has a house, a wife and children, and he doesn’t have to work every day with good grass. For him, this is the best retirement life.

However, even with riding expertise - the 20% HP bonus of the strong horse in the saddle, Black Pearl can't go to the battlefield immediately, and needs to be trained more to improve the habit of being squeamish.

Strictly speaking, this is not squeamish.

Although Andalusians suffer from ischemic intestinal disease at significantly higher rates than other breeds, stallions are 2008 times more likely to suffer from inguinal hernias than other breeds, according to a 30 study by Future.

It also showed a lower rate of large bowel obstruction and a higher risk of lamellar inflammation, a medical complication associated with bowel problems.

To put it simply, they are more picky about feed and need to eat well, but the current Andalusian horses are not yet specialized.

The average shoulder height is 156 cm, the average weight is 512 kg, and has a thick coat. It can be selected as a heavy cavalry horse breed, which proves that it can adapt to military life with good care.

It's just that the environment in Northern Europe is relatively harsh, so these defects are amplified, and they have no choice but to stay at home and breed.

The specialty greatly increases the health value, which is equivalent to improving the physical defects of the Andalusian horse, which can be adjusted slowly on the road with the black pearl.

The strong saddle horse can also give other cavalry mounts a 10% health bonus, so the other Andalusian horses left by the blond king, as well as those mixed-blood horses, are all the same, and they are all brought on the road.

Of course, the good things you snatch must be used immediately, and you can't make others cheap if you ruin them!
Fortunately, the most time-consuming basic training, the warm-hearted blonde king has asked his subordinates to help him complete it.

He also considered the problem of fat loss during the march, and gave him every horse to keep fat and strong.

For the blond king's sincerity, Feng Daofu must respond with the same enthusiasm!
Let’s hold a celebration banquet in the royal court first!
Sailing along the route was already exhausting, so I hid in the Moulin Rouge to rest for a while, and then threw myself into the battle again.

Although the solution is quick, you have to relax when it's time to relax.

This is also to let the people of Oslo get acquainted with the life of the Aio religion in advance.

That night, the square outside Wang Ting was full of people.

Whether it is the soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army, the newly born women, or even the citizens of Oslo, they can all participate and enjoy the excitement of the banquet.

But before the banquet, let's warm up the scene first.

The first is a server dressed as a man.

Found at the Moulin Rouge, he dressed as a woman and provided services to both men and women. His main clients were the monks, who were very pleased with his skills.

Feng Daofu summoned some confused lambs, and after mustering their anger against the monks, let them personally approve, and then began to judge the nobles of Oslo.

The nobles mainly lived in the countryside, and the living conditions in their mansions were better than those in the city.

With them came the weak serfs in chains.

Most of the warrior nobles of the North tribe still need to work with slaves because of insufficient resources, and the relationship will be relatively harmonious.

In Oslo, which has more resources, the aristocrats have become alienated after several generations of prosperity.

"There are no landless lords, and there are no lordless lands."

"The same innocent children, one is full of disdain, the other is full of pain, just because you are slaves!"

"How many people, because they couldn't bear the oppression, fled into the city and struggled in a daze?"

Vondorf did not have a long speech.

The pent-up anger didn't require him to say anything.

Lit the sparks, then thrust the knife into them.

All that remains is that the banner is stained red with the blood of the Oslo nobles.

Someone screamed before dying: "You can't rule Oslo without us!"

Vondorff snorted, "I never intended to rule Oslo."

"Oslo does not belong to me, nor does it belong to you. This is the city of the Oslo people, the city of the sons of Io!"

The war is still going on, and there are no plans to rule Oslo now.

It is enough to maintain a semblance of order and prevent innocent people from being harmed.

Feng Daofu said his good words for free, and the citizens who were watching anxiously became excited, and more people picked up their knives to complete their revenge.

By the time the flag sacrifice was over, Vondorff already had thousands of accomplices, or believers, in Oslo.

When he took out the property of the nobles, he rewarded the Southern Expeditionary Army.

The newly converted believers all watched this scene with eager eyes and their hearts became excited.

When the rewards are over, it is the real banquet.

Piles of bonfires were lit, and in addition to the traditional fried salmon and fish cream soup, there were also various mushroom dishes developed according to local conditions.

The characteristic is just one word: fresh!

It was rich, delicious and full, and Feng Daofu also let go of the wine stored in the city. Everyone shouted ecstatically, and the square was full of three shouts of long live.

On the temporary stage set up by the Central Committee, there are also programs performed by the soldiers of the Southern Expedition Army, which are not arranged in advance, and anyone who is willing can take the initiative to perform.

Some people sang on stage, and some danced in groups.

The singing and dancing cannot be said to be good, but it is very sincere and full of simplicity, which makes people moved.

The believers gradually let go of their inner guards and began to blend in.

Some people who were stained with noble blood calmed down and began to seek a way out, quietly asking if they could join in.

At this time, the missionaries of the company will say yes, they can enter the auxiliary army.

"The pay is lower but you don't have to fight. Just move goods."

Many people joined in as soon as their brains became hot, and the scale of the auxiliary troops of the Southern Expeditionary Army expanded rapidly that night.

Looking at this scene, Brunhilde said: "So we are not on the sea route, but marching on the road?"

Feng Daofu took a sip of hot ale: "That's right."

Brünnhilde pulled out the sheepskin map and moved her hand around the U-shaped coast below: "Isn't this route too long?"

Feng Daofu: "It's about seven or eight hundred kilometers, and it will take half a month at the fastest."

Ingrid, who read a lot of textbooks on the way here, said: "The blonde king used to attack Bergen by sea, and it only takes about a week to get there."

"Because the Bergen Navy is guarding the nearest Bjorna Fjord, they will enter the farther Hardanger Fjord from the North Sea, find a base, and then start to sweep the farms near Bergen."

"If you want to cut off the food route, I think you can first take a boat to Hardangerfjord, and then look for their rear barracks."

The nun who loves to read put forward a very insightful opinion: "If you are afraid of the navy of the Grand Duke of Jutland, don't you have a solution now?"

They looked at a certain bunny girl.

Hilde was on the fourth strip of air-dried pork, and had never eaten pork without flavor.

I was eating happily when I saw a pair of eyes looking over.

She subconsciously maintained a serious face, full of the majesty of a Danish princess.

Ingrid: "."

We are all Danish princesses. If we weren't fine before, why did our true nature be exposed not long after we got to Vondorf's side?
——As the daughter of the Grand Duke of Denmark, Ingrid knew Hilde, so she came forward to intercede for her before, but she didn't expect Hilde to keep silent.

Although afterward, Xi Lude asked her to explain to her that it was to close the relationship and pave the way for his father's future diplomacy.

But the nun looked left and right, and she always felt that the bunny-haired princess was simply too lazy to run.
He obviously has such a personality, but he has a pair of long legs.

Obviously she has been running around and working hard during this period, but her figure has not lost weight, but has become slimmer.
Ingrid stopped her thoughts and muttered skillfully: Lord, please forgive me.

"Even if you want to talk to the Grand Duke of Jutland, your attitude cannot be that of a request."

Vondorf said: "So now the Jutland navy is still the enemy, and they will hand it over to Douglas."

"With the speed of the Valkyrie, it is enough to lead the fleet to contain Jutland's navy."

"Since the Jutland Navy is restrained, why not recruit ships from Oslo to go by sea?"

Brunhild was even more puzzled.

Feng Daofu said: "Although the news was blocked at the first time, Oslo is so big, and the number of the Southern Expeditionary Army is so large, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will sneak out to pass on the news."

"Assuming the worst, the Blond King will know that Oslo has been attacked in a few days, and he will definitely do something. If we take the Blond King's route, we will lack the effect of a surprise attack."

"And we can't take advantage of our heavy infantry at sea, and it's hard to maximize the results of the battle."

The Valkyrie is going to contain the Jutland Navy, and even if the remaining ships have a speed bonus, they do not have the advantage of the crushing class.

When the enemy escapes, the flowers are scattered. This is the time to cause quick damage, but due to the relationship between the ocean and weapons, most of them will run away in the end.

"Going by land is different. You can't guess where and when I'm going to insert. This kind of unknown can slow down the defensive pressure of Bergen on the frontal battlefield, and it can also severely damage their morale when they really appear!"

"In order to shorten the march time and to conceal the action, I am not going to take the land route along the coast."

Vondorff crossed the fjords, valleys, rivers, waterfalls, plateaus, and glaciers on the map: "This route can shorten the journey to [-] kilometers, and it can be completed in a week or two!"

"Ms. Ingrid, you just said that the food road can only be cut off by finding the logistics barracks. My best agent told me that this location is here!"

His fingers stopped at a small town called Nurheimsun.

"Crossing the Sheren Mountains, crossing Hardanger, and raiding Nurheimsun!"

"Operation codename: Ice Gorge Blitz!"

　Foals start training from weaning.

　　From birth, and in the first few days or weeks after birth, a group of geese will constantly touch and lift the foal, introducing it to human touch and sound.

　　Up to the sensitive pony, who is familiar with everything about humans.

　　In addition to strengthening the impression from an early age, it is also because humans can easily suppress the pony and let the pony know that humans are strong. Although it will not hurt it, it must also respect humans.

　　This method can train most animals, and the lion is the most effective among wild beasts.

　　When you grow up to one year old and your bones start to strengthen, you can start the basic training of the horse.

　　In the first step, in a 15-20 meter circle, the trainer holds only a long whip and trains the horse to respond to sounds and body language, move faster or slower, change direction, stop.

　　The second step, and then desensitization, is the process of exposing the horse to patted objects like blankets, teaching the horse to allow itself to be touched by the object, and not to be afraid of things that people move on the horse.

　　The third step is introducing and getting used to the saddle and bridle or harness.

　　The fourth step, long rope driving, is to teach a pony to move forward with a person walking behind it without kicking its hooves randomly.

　　The fifth step, biting the horse, refers to the process of getting the horse used to the reins and bridle. Sometimes a side rein (a wide leather or nylon strap that goes around the horse's bridle) is added to the saddle, harness or belt. Let the horse get used to the pressure on the reins.

　　A horse is not ready to be ridden until it is accustomed to all the gear it needs to wear and responds to basic sounds, usually commands to rein, start, stop, turn and change gait.
