The lance pierced the wooden fence and was firmly stuck in the wood, making it difficult to pull out for a while.

The results of this test were beyond everyone's expectations. They did not expect that just adding some common wooden stakes to the soil would have such a miraculous effect.

"Notify all battalions that all future riding walls will be built according to this standard!" Lieutenant General Sima Shang gave the order decisively without Li Mu having to say anything.

There were many ways to deal with cavalry in this era, antlers, horse traps and wall riding were the most common.

The soil dug into the horse pit was used to build a low wall, and the trees on the original land became the source of the antlers. The main idea was to make the most of everything and not waste it.

After a small test of their skills, the entire Yanmenguan army accepted the fact that Yan Yan was recruited into the shogunate.

"Sir is suitable for serving as a prisoner in the army!" Li Mu was also thinking about where to put Yan Yan in a better position.

Now, there is no need to hesitate. The military production supervisor is in charge of ordnance, which is the most suitable for Yan Yan's talents.

"But it depends on the general's arrangement!" Yan Yan did not refuse.

For an outsider like him, it would be easy for him to cause trouble if he rashly participates in the command of the army. On the contrary, it is more convenient for him to observe and learn in this kind of logistics department.

Especially when all the military generals and academies are fully staffed, his parachute landing means that someone has to give up his position, which is not a good thing for the upcoming war.

Therefore, Yan Yan was assigned to the position of military supervisor, responsible for the production and storage of ordnance. He also learned that the Zhao army mainly used tanks this time!

Looking at the endless grassland, Yan Yan couldn't help it. This was a natural place for racing!
Therefore, Li Mu began to have a headache in the following days.

Because there is always a counselor of the shogunate leading a group of chariots and chariots everywhere!

Even when the other generals and generals came to discuss matters at the shogunate, there was an unsociable guy who came running with a chariot!

"I found a problem!" Yan Yan once again drove the chariot into the shogunate camp, jumped off the chariot and spoke hastily.

"..." Li Mu has a black line. If I didn't know your driving skills, I would punish you with thirty military sticks just for racing a chariot in the camp!

"Say!" Li Mu said angrily.

"It's difficult for a chariot to gallop on the grassland!" Yan Yan said seriously.

"Why?" Li Mu frowned, and other shogunate counselors and generals also looked over.

"The grass on the grassland is too high and can easily get caught in the wheel hubs of the chariot, causing the chariot to stop and be unable to continue forward. In serious cases, it may even overturn, and even the soldiers on the vehicle will be thrown away!" Yan Yan solemnly said said.

It is very common for weeds to get entangled in the wheel rims, especially in uncultivated grasslands.

"Then do you have a solution?" Li Mu asked with a frown.

Their plan is to use chariots to charge into the formation, which is simply unstoppable to the Hu tribe in the grassland.

But now Yan Yan told them that the chariot couldn't charge on the grassland, so this was no small problem.

"Not yet, we need to wait for the Mo family's craftsmen to come!" Yan Yan shook his head. He didn't know how to solve this problem. He could only let the Mo family solve it if he was specialized in the art.

"So, you took my chariots and soldiers out these days, and you just discovered this problem?" Li Mu asked angrily.

As a supervisor and counselor in the army, he actually took the soldiers to go racing, which was somewhat unprofessional. However, Li Mu felt that Yan Yan must be more than just racing. After all, who can race for three days and three nights, who knows how to take him with him? The chariot soldiers ran somewhere.

"Also, we are lost!" Yan Yan said without any guilt.

"Don't tell me that you got lost after running away for three days and three nights!" Li Mu was angry and wanted to laugh.

This was the first time he had seen someone lose himself on the battlefield. "Yes!" Yan Yan had no intention of admitting his mistake.

Li Mu became serious and looked at his eldest son.

Li Ren lowered his head with guilt. He ran out with Yan Yan, but even though he led the way, they still got lost.

"General, please punish me!" Li Ren's consciousness was much higher than that of Yan Yan.

"General, you don't think this is a problem anymore!" Yan Yan continued.

"You lost yourself and you still think it's my problem?" Li Mu laughed angrily for a moment.

"Yes, we have never gone deep into the grassland to fight, so we know very little about the grassland!" Yan Yan said seriously.

"In the past three days, we have been heading north without changing the direction. We even marked the way. However, when we returned, we still got lost."

"Because the entire grassland is so vast and vast, there are no landmark buildings, hills, or rivers to guide us!"

Li Mu also pondered. They had always guarded Yanmen Pass, and at most they could only go out for thirty miles to fight. Further north, they rarely invaded.

"The compass is useless?" Li Mu asked with a frown.

"The compass can only guide us in the cognitive direction, but it is difficult to confirm the target direction!" Yan Yan said solemnly.

They were able to find the way back by observing the stars at night, but they had to wait until night.

The army fought and marched during the day, so there could be no stars to guide it.

"So, what do you think?" Li Mu continued to ask.

"Grab your tongue, the barbarians know better than us how to identify the direction and direction on the grassland, so before the war, the soldiers must know how to identify the direction on the grassland!" Yan Yan said seriously.

He also wanted to know how the barbarians knew the direction and location.

If you live after water plants, you also need to know where there are water plants.

"So, how many tongues did you catch?" Li Mu didn't believe that Yan Yan dared to raise this question and didn't arrest anyone.

"Not many, just a hundred or so!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"Did you ask for the specific method?" Li Mu was also curious about how the Hu people identified the direction.

"Asked, we can't use it!" Yan Yan shook his head.

"Why?" Li Mu was surprised.

"Training eagles, the barbarians know how to train eagles. The eagles fly high in the sky and guide them in the direction. They can even tell them what prey, population and number of people are nearby!" Yan Yan was extremely dignified.

Hearing Yan Yan's words, Li Mu also became solemn. The fundamental reason why the Central Plains could not catch up with the Hu people was that they were all good at riding horses. At the same time, they could know the movements of the army through eagle training, thus avoiding the encirclement and interception of the army.

"Continue!" Li Mu gestured to Yan Yan to continue.

"We can also train eagles, and I happened to learn a little bit about how to train eagles from the barbarians!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

"You know how to train eagles? This is a secret that is not told to the barbarians. Even we have mastered this method of training eagles now!" Li Mu was even more surprised.

It's not like they didn't think about catching the Hu's falconer, but the other party would rather die than surrender, rather than beat him to death.
